"Royal Street Blues"
Wake up early wipe the sleep from my eyes
Splash some water on my face
Saddle up the bike between my thighs
Movin' slow at my own pace
Hungover flying down St. Claude
If I hit a pothole that’s between me and god
Say hey to the boys holding down the spot
Looking a little haggard eyes bloodshot
The sun is shining and skies are clear
Let’s have some fun while we’re here
Can’t stop me once my banjos strung
Singing at the top of my lungs
We ain’t playin' nothin' but 100 year old songs
I got the Royal Street blues all day long
All the pretty ladies pass by this way
Through the quarter they sashay
I’ve got a headache sitting on a milk crate
I’ve been drinking but I have not ate
Walk the bucket up and down the street
Swing dancers with happy feet
Looks like we’re starting to draw a crowd
I’m strumming these strings real loud
The boys are whining
And I’m Grinning ear to ear
I'm lining my belly with another beer
Can’t stop stop me once my guitar's strung
Singing at the top of our lungs
We ain't playing nothin' but jugband songs
Got the Royal Street blues all day long
Smells and melody waft on by
Faint sound of calliopes cry
Got to get down to the river have a bite
Watch the ships pass by and get our heads right
Made enough for po-boys & beer
This is what all I’ve wanted for years
We make our way over to Frenchmen street
Dance until the all night long to the mambo beat
Yes sir I know what it means
To miss the the land of dreams
It’s a feeling on the tip of your tongue
I’m leaving tomorrow but the night's still young
Let’s burn up all this midnight oil til dawn
I’ve got the royal street blues all night long

Back In The Day

“Back In The Day”
Back in the day
they'd play through the night
they had a way of making things feel alright
in their own special style
forget their troubles for a little while
they had their own way
back in the day
Wayback when
when times were hard
they’d gather with friends
Drink liquor smoke cigarettes and play cards
Dance together and kick off their shoes
Romance their way through the blues
You leaned on your friends
Way back when
When life handed you lemons
You made sweet lemonade
You smiled while battling gremlins
Danced while it rained on your parade
In the days of yore
They didn’t accept compromise
They took to the floor
Got together to organize
They wrote books, songs and made signs
And they didn’t cross picket lines
They had a lot to say
They took it day by day
They had their own way
Back in the day

“Mardi Gras in Ukraine”
My drinks I’m dilutin’
I’m thinking about Putin
And singing songs world war 3
I’m getting ready to got to a party
It’s Mardi Gras day
And I’m thinking about a tyrant
Half a world away
Who’s trying to blow up a power plant
In this life there is so much pain
Can’t help but think I’ve got it made
There’s a bloody war in Ukraine
But I’m going to see the parade
Tho we look at the same moon and stars
they fight for their lives we fight in the bars
Tho we breathe the same air and drink the same water
we are all too bored to care about their sons and their daughters

“Baby, Won’t You Please Come Home”
I’ve got the blues
I feel so lonely
I'd give the world
If I could only
Make you understand
It truly would be grand
I'm gonna telephone my baby
Ask her won't you please come home
Oh, when you're gone
I'm worried all day long.
Baby, won't you please come home?
'Cause your daddies all alone.
I have tried in vain
Nevermore to call your name
When you left you broke my heart
That will never make us part
Every hour of the day you can hear me say
Baby, won't you please come home?
I need money.
Baby, won't you please come home?

"Ham & Eggs"
If I only had a nickel I'd buy some ham & eggs
I haven't had a square meal for many many days
I hear my stomach growling
And I know just what to do
Oh good people don't ever let it happen to you
Ham & eggs
Ham & eggs
Can't you hear me callin' you
If I only had a dollar i'd buy some ham & eggs
I'd even settle for a greasy chicken leg
They say there's no depression and there's lots of work to do
Oh good people don't ever let it happen to you
Ham & eggs
Ham & eggs
Can't you hear me callin' you

"Southern Nights"
Southern nights
have you ever felt a southern Southern nights
Have you ever felt a southern night?
Free as a breeze
Not to mention the trees
Whistling tunes that you know and love so
Southern skies
Just as good even when closed your eyes
I apologize
To anyone who can truly say
That he has found a better way
Southern skies
Have you ever noticed southern skies?
Its precious beauty lies deep beyond the eye
Goes running through your soul
Like the stories told of old
Old man
He and his dog they walked the old land
Every flower touched his cold hand
As he slowly walked by
The weeping willow would cry for joy
Feel so good
Feel so good, it's frightenin'
Wish I could
Stop this world from fighting
la da da
Mysteries
Like this and many others in the trees
Blow in the night
In the southern skies

"Sweet Substitute"
Sweet substitute, sweet substitute,
She tells me that she's mine all mine,
Does anything I tell her 'cause love is blind.
She's got her lovin' ways, she's got my head in a daze,
My new recruit is might sweet and cute,
And I crazy 'bout my substitute, (don't want any regulars),
I'm crazy 'bout my substitute.

"Nobody But You"
I don't want, nobody else but you
No one treats me, the way you do
I just want you to hold my hand, and tell me I'm your lover man
And I don't want, nobody else but you
Come and take me, take me in your arms
Tell me I'm the only one, to feel your charm
No, I don't care, what they may say, I'm gonna love you anyway
And I don't want, nobody else but you
Wherever you are, that's where I'd love to be
You've captured my heart, and I love it. Can't you see?
No, I don't care, what they may say, I'm gonna love you anyway
And I don't want, nobody else but you
Nobody but you
Nobody but you
Nobody but you, baby
Nobody but you
I said nobody but you
Nobody but you

"What Goes Around Comes Around"
Remember way back when
You had a yen
To mess over your old friend
You know, you dragged me to your heart
With your smile and grin
Youll never get a chance like that
To pull that old stuff again
What goes around, comes around
What goes around, comes around
And the way it goes up
Thats the way it goes down
Now, I done got over
It wont bother me no more
And the way that I met you
Ill meet a million more
Im so glad, the way I feel
Youve come out on the short end
Of a dirty, dirty deal
You keeping an eye peeled
Over your shoulder
Lifes not getting any younger
Its gettin older and older
You keep trying
To be a little bolder
You know, life might sometimes treat you
Just a little colder and colder
What goes around, comes around
What goes around, comes around
What goes around, comes around
What goes around, comes around

"Tomorrrow Night"
Tomorrow night
Will you remember what you said tonight?
Tomorrow night
Will all the thrills be gone?
Tomorrow night
Will it be just another memory?
Or just another lovely song
That's in my heart to linger on?
Your lips are so tender
Your heart is beating fast
And you willingly surrender
Tell me, darlin', will it last?
Tomorrow night
Will you be with me when the moon is bright?
Tomorrow night
Will you say those lovely things you said tonight?
Tomorrow night
Will you remember what you said tonight?
Tomorrow night
Will all the thrills be gone?
Tomorrow night
Will it be just another memory?
Or just another lovely song
That's in my heart to linger on?
Your lips are so tender
Your heart is beating fast
And you willingly surrender
Tell me, darlin', will it last?
Tomorrow night
Will you be with me when the moon is bright?
Tomorrow night
Will you say those lovely things you said tonight?
