==One Dime Blues==
'''written by Blind Lemon Jefferson'''

(Key of F; E chord capo 1)

I'm broke and I aint got a dime, 
I'm broke and I aint got a dime, 
I'm broke and aint got a dime, 
Everybody gets in hard luck sometime.

I was standing on East Cairo Street one day, 
I was standing on East Cairo Street one day, 
I was standing on East Cairo Street one day, 
One dime was all I had

Mamma, don't treat your daughter mean, 
Mamma, don't treat your daughter mean, 
Mamma, don't treat your daughter mean, 
That's the meanest woman a man has ever seen.

You want your friend to be bad like Jesse James, 
You want your friend to be bad like Jesse James, 
You want your friend to be bad like Jesse James, 
Just give'm a six shooter and highway some passenger train.

One dime was all I had, 
One dime was all I had, 
One dime was all I had, 
Try'n to be a sportin' lad

I bought that morning news, 
I bought that morning news, 
I bought that morning news, 
Then I bought a cigar too (?)

==I'm Sober Now==
'''written by Clarence "Pinetop" Smith (1904-1929)'''

(... you aint bought the first drink tonight, so I'm gonna get all of you told.)

Now I don't mind playing any time y'all can make me drunk 
But Mr Pinetop is sober now. 

Now I've been playing the blues round here for you the whole night long, 
and y'all aint bought the first jug somehow. 
Now its getting 'round that time and I have to bide, 
I need a little cold whiskey to keep me warm inside, 
Cos I don't mind playing any time y'all can make me drunk 
But Mr Pinetop is sober now.

I don't mind playing any time y'all can make me drunk 
But Mr Pinetop is sober now. 
Now say I've been playing the piano round here for you the whole night long, 
and y'all aint bought the first drink somehow.

Now if the house catches on fire, 
and there ain't no water around, 
landlady pour that gallon jug out the window, 
and let the shack burn on down. 
Cos I don't mind playing any time y'all can make me drunk 
But Mr Pinetop is sober now.

(now just to show you I can play the blues I'm gonna strike them again for you)

==Goodbye Booze==
'''written by Charlie Poole'''

Oh goodbye booze for evermore 
My boozing days will soon be o'er 
Oh, I had a good time, and we couldn't agree 
You see what booze has done for me

She's tore my clothes, she's swelled my head 
So goodbye booze, I'm going to bed 
Oh, I had a good time, and we couldn't agree 
You see what booze has done for me

She swelled my head, she broke my heart 
So goodbye booze, we now shall part 
Oh, I had a good time, but we couldn't agree 
You see what booze has done for me

She whispered low, how sweet it sounds! 
Please take another ride on the merry-go-round 
Oh, I had a good time, and we couldn't agree 
You see what booze has done for me

==Waiting For A Train==
'''written by Jimmy Rogers'''

(F, B flat, Dm7, G7, C7)

All around the water tank 
waitin’ for a train 
I’m a thousand miles away from home, 
Sleeping in the rain. 
Well, I walked up to a brake-man 
just to make a line of talk. 
He says, “If you’ve got money 
I’ll see that you don’t walk.” 
I haven’t got a nickel 
not a penny can I show. 
“Get off, get off, 
you railroad bum,” 
and slammed the box-car door. 
Yo-de-o-la-ee, oh la-ee, oh la-ee

He put me off in Texas, 
a state I dearly love. 
The wide open spaces all around me, 
the moon and stars up above. 
Nobody seems to want me 
Or lend me a helping hand. 
I’m on my way from ‘Frisco, 
going back to Dixieland. 
Though my pocket book is empty 
and my heart is full of pain. 
I’m a thousand miles away from home 
just waiting for a train. 
Yo-de-o-la-ee, oh la-ee, oh la-ee

==Six Cold Feet In The Ground==
'''written by Leroy Carr'''

Just remember me baby, 
when I'm in six feet of cold, cold ground. 
Just remember me baby, 
when I'm in six feet of cold, cold ground. 
Always think of me momma. 
Just say "That's a good man gone down."

Don't cry baby, 
baby after I'm gone. 
Don't cry baby. 
Don't cry after I'm gone. 
I guess a good man left you, 
and I ain't done nothing wrong

Just lay my body, 
baby in six cold feet of ground. 
Just lay my body, 
baby in six cold feet of ground. 
Well I don't have to be the loser, 
when the deal goes down.

==Deep Blue Sea Blues==
'''written by Clara Smith (1894 - 1935)'''

My man's on the ocean, bobbin' up and down; 
He belongs to other vamps but he's always on my mind. 
Girls, take a tip from me 
You know how I feel when my man at sea.

I get the blues for the deep blue sea 
Nothing but a ship can satisfy me 
New York to Mobile can change my mind 
I feel like getting' in a aeroplane an' flyin'.

When I hear that whistle blow I know the ship is made the shore 
Ain't but one man an' this is one that can satisfy me 
That's the man that reels an' rockin' on the deep blue sea 
I mean, the deep blue sea.

When I hear that whistle blow I know the ship is made the shore 
Ain't but one man an' this is one that can satisfy me 
That's the man that reels an' rockin' on the deep blue sea 
I mean, the deep blue sea.

==Evil Minded Blues==
'''written by Virginia Liston (1890-1932)'''

Feeling bad this morning all evil and blue 
Feeling bad this morning and evil and blue 
An evil-minded man, will keep you evil minded too

Some folks get evil because there’s nothing else to do 
Some folks get evil because there’s nothing else to do 
They get mad at someone else and take the spite out on you

If you try to be good men will make a fool out of you 
If you try to be good men will make a fool out of you 
But if you are evil minded he’ll stand for anything you do

Superstitious men have a sign for everything you do 
Superstitious men have a sign for everything you do 
But there’s a good excuse they’ve got when they’re mistreating you

You can call me bad luck call me anything you choose 
You can call me bad luck call me anything you choose 
I’m disagreeable and mean and I’ve got the Evil Minded Blues

==Daddy Wouldn't Buy Me A Bow Wow==
'''Written by Joseph Tabrar (1857 - 1931)'''

I love my little cat, I do 
With soft black silky hair 
It comes with me each day to school 
And sits upon the chair 
When teacher says "why do you bring 
That little pet of yours?" 
I tell her that I bring my cat 
Along with me because

Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow! 
Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow! 
I've got a little cat 
And I'm very fond of that 
But I'd rather have a bow-wow 
Wow, wow, wow, wow

We used to have two tiny dogs 
Such pretty little dears 
But daddy sold 'em 'cause they used 
To bite each other's ears 
I cried all day, at eight each night 
Papa sent me to bed 
When Ma came home and wiped my eyes 
I cried again and said

Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow! 
Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow! 
I've got a little cat 
And I'm very fond of that 
But I'd rather have a bow-wow 
Wow, wow, wow, wow 

I'll be so glad when I get old 
To do just as I "likes" 
I'll keep a parrot and at least 
A half a dozen tykes 
And when I've got a tiny pet 
I'll kiss the little thing 
Then put it in its little cot 
And on to it I'll sing

Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow! 
Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow! 
I've got a little cat 
And I'm very fond of that 
But I'd rather have a bow-wow 
Wow, wow, wow, wow

Along with me because

Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow! 
Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow! 
I've got a little cat 
And I'm very fond of that 
But I'd rather have a bow-wow 
Wow, wow, wow, wow

We used to have two tiny dogs 
Such pretty little dears 
But daddy sold 'em 'cause they used 
To bite each other's ears 
I cried all day, at eight each night 
Papa sent me to bed 
When Ma came home and wiped my eyes 
I cried again and said

Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow! 
Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow! 
I've got a little cat 
And I'm very fond of that 
But I'd rather have a bow-wow 
Wow, wow, wow, wow 

I'll be so glad when I get old 
To do just as I "likes" 
I'll keep a parrot and at least 
A half a dozen tykes 
And when I've got a tiny pet 
I'll kiss the little thing 
Then put it in its little cot 
And on to it I'll sing

Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow! 
Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow! 
I've got a little cat 
And I'm very fond of that 
But I'd rather have a bow-wow 
Wow, wow, wow, wow

==One Dime Blues==
'''written by Blind Lemon Jefferson'''

coming soon

==I'm Sober Now==
'''written by Clarence "Pinetop" Smith (1904-1929)'''

(... you aint bought the first drink tonight, so I'm gonna get all of you told.)

Now I don't mind playing any time y'all can make me drunk 
But Mr Pinetop is sober now. 

Now I've been playing the blues round here for you the whole night long, 
and y'all aint bought the first jug somehow. 
Now its getting 'round that time and I have to bide, 
I need a little cold whiskey to keep me warm inside, 
Cos I don't mind playing any time y'all can make me drunk 
But Mr Pinetop is sober now.

I don't mind playing any time y'all can make me drunk 
But Mr Pinetop is sober now. 
Now say I've been playing the piano round here for you the whole night long, 
and y'all aint bought the first drink somehow.

Now if the house catches on fire, 
and there ain't no water around, 
landlady pour that gallon jug out the window, 
and let the shack burn on down. 
Cos I don't mind playing any time y'all can make me drunk 
But Mr Pinetop is sober now.

(now just to show you I can play the blues I'm gonna strike them again for you)

==Goodbye Booze==
'''written by Charlie Poole'''

Oh goodbye booze for evermore 
My boozing days will soon be o'er 
Oh, I had a good time, and we couldn't agree 
You see what booze has done for me

She's tore my clothes, she's swelled my head 
So goodbye booze, I'm going to bed 
Oh, I had a good time, and we couldn't agree 
You see what booze has done for me

She swelled my head, she broke my heart 
So goodbye booze, we now shall part 
Oh, I had a good time, but we couldn't agree 
You see what booze has done for me

She whispered low, how sweet it sounds! 
Please take another ride on the merry-go-round 
Oh, I had a good time, and we couldn't agree 
You see what booze has done for me

==Waiting For A Train==
'''written by Jimmy Rogers'''

All around the water tank 
waitin’ for a train 
I’m a thousand miles away from home, 
Sleeping in the rain. 
Well, I walked up to a brake-man 
just to make a line of talk. 
He says, “If you’ve got money 
I’ll see that you don’t walk.” 
I haven’t got a nickel 
not a penny can I show. 
“Get off, get off, 
you railroad bum,” 
and slammed the box-car door. 
Yo-de-o-la-ee, oh la-ee, oh la-ee

He put me off in Texas, 
a state I dearly love. 
The wide open spaces all around me, 
the moon and stars up above. 
Nobody seems to want me 
Or lend me a helping hand. 
I’m on my way from ‘Frisco, 
going back to Dixieland. 
Though my pocket book is empty 
and my heart is full of pain. 
I’m a thousand miles away from home 
just waiting for a train. 
Yo-de-o-la-ee, oh la-ee, oh la-ee

==Six Cold Feet In The Ground==
'''written by Leroy Carr'''

Just remember me baby, 
when I'm in six feet of cold, cold ground. 
Just remember me baby, 
when I'm in six feet of cold, cold ground. 
Always think of me momma. 
Just say "That's a good man gone down."

Don't cry baby, 
baby after I'm gone. 
Don't cry baby. 
Don't cry after I'm gone. 
I guess a good man left you, 
and I ain't done nothing wrong

Just lay my body, 
baby in six cold feet of ground. 
Just lay my body, 
baby in six cold feet of ground. 
Well I don't have to be the loser, 
when the deal goes down.

==Deep Blue Sea Blues==
'''written by Clara Smith (1894 - 1935)'''

My man's on the ocean, bobbin' up and down; 
He belongs to other vamps but he's always on my mind. 
Girls, take a tip from me 
You know how I feel when my man at sea.

I get the blues for the deep blue sea 
Nothing but a ship can satisfy me 
New York to Mobile can change my mind 
I feel like getting' in a aeroplane an' flyin'.

When I hear that whistle blow I know the ship is made the shore 
Ain't but one man an' this is one that can satisfy me 
That's the man that reels an' rockin' on the deep blue sea 
I mean, the deep blue sea.

When I hear that whistle blow I know the ship is made the shore 
Ain't but one man an' this is one that can satisfy me 
That's the man that reels an' rockin' on the deep blue sea 
I mean, the deep blue sea.

==Evil Minded Blues==
'''written by Virginia Liston (1890-1932)'''

Feeling bad this morning all evil and blue 
Feeling bad this morning and evil and blue 
An evil-minded man, will keep you evil minded too

Some folks get evil because there’s nothing else to do 
Some folks get evil because there’s nothing else to do 
They get mad at someone else and take the spite out on you

If you try to be good men will make a fool out of you 
If you try to be good men will make a fool out of you 
But if you are evil minded he’ll stand for anything you do

Superstitious men have a sign for everything you do 
Superstitious men have a sign for everything you do 
But there’s a good excuse they’ve got when they’re mistreating you

You can call me bad luck call me anything you choose 
You can call me bad luck call me anything you choose 
I’m disagreeable and mean and I’ve got the Evil Minded Blues

==Daddy Wouldn't Buy Me A Bow Wow==
'''Written by Joseph Tabrar (1857 - 1931)'''

I love my little cat, I do 
With soft black silky hair 
It comes with me each day to school 
And sits upon the chair 
When teacher says "why do you bring 
That little pet of yours?" 
I tell her that I bring my cat 
Along with me because

Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow! 
Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow! 
I've got a little cat 
And I'm very fond of that 
But I'd rather have a bow-wow 
Wow, wow, wow, wow

We used to have two tiny dogs 
Such pretty little dears 
But daddy sold 'em 'cause they used 
To bite each other's ears 
I cried all day, at eight each night 
Papa sent me to bed 
When Ma came home and wiped my eyes 
I cried again and said

Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow! 
Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow! 
I've got a little cat 
And I'm very fond of that 
But I'd rather have a bow-wow 
Wow, wow, wow, wow 

I'll be so glad when I get old 
To do just as I "likes" 
I'll keep a parrot and at least 
A half a dozen tykes 
And when I've got a tiny pet 
I'll kiss the little thing 
Then put it in its little cot 
And on to it I'll sing

Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow! 
Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow! 
I've got a little cat 
And I'm very fond of that 
But I'd rather have a bow-wow 
Wow, wow, wow, wow
