Balta1701 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down But I did what I did before love came to town.

Yossarian Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Blues and Jazz are my musical passions. B.B. King did his best work, at least recording wise in the late 40's and 50's. I still have a bunch of his albums, that's right albums. Artist: B.B. King Song: Bad Breaks Views Today: 1 Views Total: 71 last viewed wed @ 11:16 am Oh, I wish I was single, 'cause my woman, she drives me mad I wish I was single, 'cause my woman, she drives me mad Yes, she's always accusing me of someone of someone I ain't never had Last night I felt lucky but my luck was running slow The last hand I caught four aces and the police broke down the door I said, ""Lord, Lord, what can a poor boy do?"" It's tough when you can't make no money, Seems like all the bad breaks come to you Got home this morning, she was looking kind-a funny She said, ""Don't come in here daddy, unless you got some money"" I said, ""Lord, Lord, what can a poor boy do?"" It's tough when you can't make no money, Seems like all the bad breaks come to you I asked my woman for some dinner, she looked at me like a fool She said, ""I'm playing checkers, daddy, and I think it's your time to move"" I said, ""Lord, Lord, what can a poor boy do?"" It's tough when you can't make no money, Seems like all the bad breaks come to you My favorite BB King song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yossarian Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Way back yonder in the days of old, The men was working but not saving any dough. Then came a woman looking real cool. She said to herself, "Now that's my fool." I'm gonna ball tonight. I'm gonna ball tonight. Well, I can't break the rule because Every man is some woman's fool. Met a girl on the avenue, She was shy and I was blue, Like a teacher and a student in school, Looked at me and said, "You're my fool." Chorus First Verse Chorus We're gonna ball tonight. We're gonna ball tonight. We're gonna ball tonight. We're gonna ball tonight. Well I can't break the rule because Every man is some woman's fool. The above written by Riley B. King and Jules Bihari. Another great B.B. King number. Don't get going. I just love the blues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yossarian Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 by B.B. King Jules Taub I wonder why, why do everything have to happen to me I wonder why, why do everything have to happen to me Well, I'm blue and I'm lonesome, my heart is filled with misery Oh, so many strange things, they happen to me all day long Oh, so many strange things, they happen to me all day long yes, it seems like everything I do, everything I do is wrong I had a good reputation, the greatest man in town But I'm having so much troubles, till they 'bout to drag me down I wonder why, why do everything have to happen to me I wonder why, why do everything have to happen to me Well, I'm blue and I'm lonesome, my heart is filled with misery I got up on my feet, I had lots of friends But bad luck had hit me, now I'm down again Another great B.B. King original. I just love the blues and B.B. King is an American icon. Too bad it took folks over a half a century to figure it out. I'll quit for now, but the King of the Blues was worth back to back to back posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
