TWO DAYS AT CLARKSDALE

Goin’ down to Mississipi
On the highway 61
We roll on me and my baby
Cotton fields are all around

Here Tunica, Mississipi
Travelin’ on the Highway Blues
No matter if the rain is falling
To be there, we feel so good

And now here, we are at Clarksdale
Drinking coffee in Yazoo Pass
Music everywhere in the town
That’s what the Blues is all about

Hambone, Red’s, Bluesberry Cafe
The real Blues is in the Jukes
Shake up inn, New Roxy, Ground Zero
Sean Apple, you make me feel good

HEY, MR BLUES

Somebody knocked on my do’
Last night when I couldn’t fall asleep
In the middle of the night
Who would come to see me?

I get up and Head for the door
I ask ‘’Who is here?”
They answer me “It’s the Blues, man!
I would like to come in”

Hey Mr Blues Tell me What’s up?
He said “I know, you’re alone and troubled
So, I came to talk
To you to cheer you up”

I took my guitar And I played
This good old Blues low down
After, I felt better
And I go to sleep free mind

IN MEMORY OF SLOWLIPS

I’m gonna sing you something
About a friend of mine
I’m gonna sing you something
About a friend of mine
Slowlips is his name
And I’ll tell you if you don’t mind

We had a band
Urban Blues was his name
We had a band
Urban Blues was his name
Just Slowlips and I
Bluesmen but also friends

It is not thunder
That you hear beyond the sky
It is not thunder
That you hear beyond the sky
It’s just my friend Slowlips
Who’s with us and playin’ his harp

SIDE BY SIDE (For GRAZOU)

I’m in love with a woman
Who brings me love and joy
We understand each other
So, well that a single look is enough

April, Nineteen ninety
We spoke for the first time
I knew it was you the woman
I’ve been waiting for all this time

You know, life is like a river
It’s still water or it’s wild
Together we fear nothing
‘cause we always swim side by side

Thirty years spent with you, Baby
You know, I’ll do it again
Make our eyes close together
And meet again

BLUES IS ALL AROUND

You know, why I’m goin’
On a trip to the same old place
I don’t know but it’s always
The Blues that tell me the place

The Blues is the only one
By my side and on my way
He gives me a lot of pleasure
And I don’t want him to go away

Sometimes, he makes me laugh
Sometimes, he makes me cry
I can’t live without him
He’s always on my mind
I’m gonna tell you
Why the Blues is all around
I can’t live without him, Baby
I play the Blues from town to town

Someday, I went away
I left him behind me
Oh Lord, I was so bad
Now the Blues is staying with me

SHACK BLUES

Well, I dreamed we were there
Both sitting on the porch
With the sunset behind us
The Blues was all around

A little further in front of us
The trucks’ sound resounded
Like a soft music on, darling
The highway forty-nine

Here time seems to have stopped
At Shack up inn, you and me
In the Delta Mississippi,
Oh, only you and me

Well, I dreamed we were there
How happy I was with you
At Cadillac Shack you know
You know we feel so good

SHE WALKED AWAY

I woke soon this morning
‘bout the break of day
I’ve seen my old woman
When she walked away

We had good times, Baby
And some bad ones too
I don’t have any bitterness
I don’t have the Blues

I tried to give that woman
Everything she needed
But she was never satisfied and
I was couldn’t stand it

Now, she’s gone away for good and
It’s better like this
I find myself alone
But finally, free

DESIRE BLUES

Today, the weather is so sweet
That I want to take you on a walk with me
Today, the weather is so sweet
That I want to take you on a walk with me
Baby, feel that desire
Suddenly, it’s in my whole body

Put on your light skirt, baby
Look out the window as the sun is shinning
Put on your light skirt, baby
Look out the window as the sun is shinning
I want to go back to where
Our first time we tangled our minds

I want to make love to you
With the sound of birds and the wind on the trees
I want to make love to you
With the sound of birds and the wind in the trees
Come on, let’s go my darling
Do you feel this desire in my whole body?
Come on, let’s go my darling
Do you feel this desire in my whole body?

YOU SAY, YOU LOVE ME

You say, you love me, Babe
But are you sure of this?
Your words are very nice
Are you really sure of this?

You tell me you miss me, Babe
But you never spend time with me
I can’t understand you
Try to be honest with me

I think you’re an evil, woman
I’m starting to realize
Now, I understand your game
You and I, we’ll never be right

LIGHT IN THE DISTANCE

Again, on this lonesome road
My Baby no longer there
But I see a light in a distance
And I feel attract by her

You didn’t care about me
And I believed in ourselves
Got so much anger in me
That helps me to raise my head

Keep shining for me sun
Only you can save me
Warm up the part of my heart
That this woman froze in me

One day, I know that
Everything’s gonna be alright
I feel better already
And so, my heart is more lighted
