Do It Right | Not Yet Released

Key of E | (A harp)

No sight of the man on the interstate, spent a mess of time trucking on the road today

I got a one-way ticket babe the diesel down and I’m blowing off some doors as I pass each town

As I pass each town, lord I pass each town

As I pass each town, laying that diesel down

CHORUS 2X
IF you’re gonna do it, do it right.  Grab your little woman, treat her right!!!

 

Like a shotgun kick, I move as fast I can, yes that’s the signature style of a do right man

I know every action means the word to you  that why I’m driving so late to bring the goods to you

Bring the goods to you, Bring the goods to you

Bring the goods to you, Baby that’s just what I do

CHORUS 2X
IF you’re gonna do it, do it right.  Grab your little woman, treat her right!!!

 

Well it’s late at night and I need to know, just what kind of love you’ve just got in store

I know outside its just a drizzling rain,so won’t you start a fire in the hearth again.

In the hearth again, lord in the hearth again

In the hearth again, Light a fire in the hearth again

CHORUS 2X
IF you’re gonna do it, do it right.  Grab your little woman, treat her right!!!

Shakedown Street | Grateful Dead

Key of Dm | (Dm harp) F Major C Mixolydian

You tell me this town ain’t got no heart (well, well, well, you can never tell)The sunny side of the street is dark (well, well, well, you can never tell)
Maybe that’s cause it’s midnight, in the dark of the moon besides

Maybe the dark is from your eyes (maybe the dark is from your eyes)Maybe the dark is from your eyes (maybe the dark is from your eyes)Maybe the dark is from your eyes (maybe the dark is from your eyes)You know you got such dark eyes!

 

Nothin’ shakin’ on shakedown street, used to be the heart of townDon’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart, you just gotta poke around

 

You think you’ve seen this town clear through (well, well, well, you can never tell)Nothin’ here that could int’rest you (well, well, well, you can never tell)

It’s not because you missed out on the thing that we had to start

Maybe you had too much too fast (maybe you had too much too fast)Maybe you had too much too fast (maybe you had too much too fast)Maybe you had too much too fast (maybe you had too much too fast)Or just over played your part

 

Nothin’ shakin’ on shakedown street, used to be the heart of town.Don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart, you just gotta poke around.

 

Since I’m passing your way today (well, well, well, you can never tell)I just stopped in ’cause I want to say (well, well, well, you can never tell)I recall your darkness when it crackled like a thundercloud

Don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart (don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart)Don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart (don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart)Don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart (don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart)When I can hear it beat out loud!

 

Nothin’ shakin’ on shakedown street, used to be the heart of townDon’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart, you just gotta poke around

———————————————-

Can I count it off? (Go ahead)
One, two, three, four!
2X Chorus
Get up, (get on up)
Get up, (get on up)
Stay on the scene, (get on up), like a sex machine, (get on up)

Shake your arm, then use your form
Stay on the scene like a sex machine
You got to have the feeling sure as you’re born
Get it together, right on, right on.
2X Chorus
Get up, (get on up)
Get up, (get on up)
Stay on the scene, (get on up), like a sex machine, (get on up)

You said, you said you got the, You said the feeling,
You said the feeling you got to get
You give me the fever ‘n’ a cold sweat.
The way i like it is the way it is
I got mine ‘n’ don’t worry ’bout his

2X Chorus
Get up, (get on up)
Get up, (get on up)
Stay on the scene, (get on up), like a sex machine, (get on up)

Outside the City | Not Yet Released

Key of D | (G harp)

She stepped right off of the train, Headed straight across the platform
Behold her beautiful face, Asking for a lighter, you got one

Let me see the moonlight in your eyes
Let me see the New York City light
Let me smell the incense in the air
Baby don’t you know that we’re almost there

Because
Each night is only rock and roll, babe
You can have it any way you want
Or else waltz away

Madison Square, walk right inside
From where I stand they look you right in the eyes
This song I’ve sang out loud a million times
Right there, the square, the square

Oh won’t you feel it
Won’t you join along
Won’t you feel, feel, feel it, join along
Won’t you feel, feel, feel it, join along

VERSE 2—————
If you want a right place, If you want a piece of the action, action
Whole sweet embrace, Always amplify attraction

VERSE 2—————
When we missed the last train home
Camped for Letterman tickets but got none
Float through outer space
Rockafeller Center and then some

Scarlet Begonias | Grateful Dead

Key of E Major | (A harp)

As I was walkin’ ’round Grosvenor Square
Not a chill to the Winter but a nip to the air
From the other direction, she was calling my eye
It could be an illusion, but I might as well try, might as well try

She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes
And I knew, without askin’, she was into the blues
She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls
I knew right away she was not like other girls, other girls

In the thick of the evening, when the dealing got rough
She was too pat to open and too cool to bluff
As I picked up my matches and was closing the door
I had one of those flashes I’d been there before, been there before

F#
Well, I ain’t always right, but I’ve never been wrong
Seldom turns out the way it does in a song
Once in a while, you get shown the light
In the strangest of places if you look at it right

Well, there ain’t nothing wrong with the way she moves
Scarlet begonias or a touch of the blues
And there’s nothing wrong with the look that’s in her eyes
Had to learn the hard way to let her pass by, let her pass by

Wind in the willow’s playin’ “Tea For Two”
The sky was yellow, and the sun was blue
Strangers stoppin’ strangers just to shake their hand
Everybody’s playing in the heart of gold band, heart of gold band

SUBLIME RAP…

It was the summer of love and I thank the stars above
Because a woman took her lovin’ over me
And just to gain her trust I bought a microbus
Because I sold off all my personal property
A tight tye-dye dress she was a psychedelic mess
We toured to the north, south, east, and west
We sold some mushroom tea we sold some ecstacy
We sold nitrous, opium, acid, heroin, and pcp
And now I hear the police comin’ after me
Yes now I hear the police comin’ after me
The one scarlet with the flowers in her hair
Now she’s got the police comin’ after me

 

Fire On the Mountain | Grateful Dead

Key of E Major | (A harp). Modulate to F# Reggae to Flow into Ragtop

Long-distance runner, what you standin’ there for?
Get up, get up, get out of the door
You’re playin’ cold music on the barroom floor
Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core
There’s a dragon with matches that’s loose on the town
Takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down, yeah

Fire, fire on the mountain 4X

Almost ablaze, still you don’t feel the heat
It takes all you got just to stay on the beat
You say it’s a livin’, we all gotta eat
But you’re here alone, there’s no one to compete
If Mercy’s a business, I wish it for you
More than just ashes when your dreams come true

Fire, fire on the mountain 4X

Long distance runner, what you holdin’ out for?
Caught in slow motion in a dash through the door
The flame from your stage has now spread to the floor
You gave all you had, why you wanna give more?
The more that you give, the more it will take
To the thin line beyond which you really can’t fake, yeah

Fire, fire on the mountain 4X

Take to the street to play music

All of the hookers and hustlers gonna make em move, where they congregate

Pro-stit-tutions illegal but ya’d never know, by the look of this place
Mind you I’ve got no problem ‘cause I tell you LOVE, is a terrible thing to waste

B
Ask me where Im goin’?
I’m a going way down to the dirty side of town
Ask me what I’ll be up to?I say Im a gonna spread a little love around

A
Playing myself some guitar
a big old smile, right across my face
I’ve been out here for 3 hoursI think its time, to smoke a little jay

Inspiration she finds me, on crowded sidewalks, just about any place
When Im with her I hold her so closely ‘ cause I tell you LOVE is a terrible thing to waste

B
Ask me where Im goin’?
I’m a going way down to the dirty side of town
Ask me what I’ll be up to?I say Im a gonna spread a little love around

Bird Song | Grateful Dead

Key of C | (F harp)

All I know is something like a bird within her sang
All I know she sang a little while and then flew on

Tell me all that you know, I’ll show you snow and rain

If you hear that same sweet song again will you know why?
Anyone who sings a tune so sweet is passin’ by

Laugh in the sunshine, sing
Cry in the dark, fly through the night

Don’t cry now, don’t you cry
Don’t you cry anymore, la, la, la, la
Sleep in the stars, don’t you cry
Dry your eyes on the wind, la, la, la, la

I got an itch I got a feeling, wanna meet in the street tomorrow
Had ENOUGH, being Locked up IN-SIDE today

Let the golden sun shine down, cast our shadows
You want anything, babe, you can have your way

B
And as we wade into the evening city lights are gonna shine
Choose to use a little hustle Let the city do our bidding tonight

C
Come what may, 
nothing to lose, but to choose, do or die, win or lose
No Excuse, just get loose  What if all hell breaks loose?
We should be so lucky
So LUCKY, my babe, she get me HIGH
3rd st, 3rd st, got to find my baby on 3rd st

A
Need a new change of clothes, hug the curb real close past drug slingin’ rouges
Packing so much heat, nno need to die today

Hope to make some time, hop off the subway line
Walking east to west, hu-up from 125th
When I see you, pretty babe, gonna make my day

A
I got an itch I got a feeling, won’t leave the bed till tomorrow
I got my love right here in our birthday suits today

Let the golden sun shine down, cast our shadows
You want anything, babe, you can have your way

Key of C | (F harp)

I’ve been run down and I’ve been lied to.
And I don’t know why, I let that mean woman make me a fool.
She took all my money, wrecks my new car.
Now she’s with one of my good time buddies,
They’re drinkin’ in some cross-town bar.
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Like I’ve been tied to the whippin’ post.
Tied to the whippin’ post, tied to the whippin’ post.
Good Lord, I feel like I’m dyin’

INSTRUMENTAL

My friends tell me, that I’ve been such a fool.
But I had to stand by and take it baby, all for lovin’ you.
Drown myself in sorrow as I look at what you’ve done.
But nothing seemed to change, the bad times stayed the same, & I can’t run.
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Like I’ve been tied to the whippin’ post.
Tied to the whippin’ post, tied to the whippin’ post.
Good Lord, I feel like I’m dyin’

Sneakin’ sally through the alley, Sneakin’ sally through the alley
Sneakin’ sally through the alley, trying to keep her out of sight
Sneakin’ sally through the alley, when up pops the wife

I said, ah I can’t find nothing wrong with being friends
cos sometimes she lets me use the car
She said if you can’t find nothing wrong with your mind
You’d better, you’d better find something wrong with her, her

So I began to try to explain that it just wasn’t, just wasn’t what she thought oh
I’d better find something to do with my time, the fact is oh I’ve just been caught

Sneakin’ sally through the alley, OH HOOO Harmonica SOLO

 

Sneakin’ sally through the alley, trying to get away clean
Sneakin’ sally through the alley, Oh, when up pops the queen
Trying to double talk-talk, get myself in trouble talk, catching myself in lies
Catching myself in lies
Mama just looked at me as if I was, ah, crazy
And didn’t even bat an eye

So I began to try to explain, that it just wasn’t, just wasn’t what she thought oh
I’d better find something to do with my time, the fact is aaaah just been caught,
Sneakin’ sally through the alley
Just been caught,
Oh, oh, Sneakin, sneakin, sneakin,

 

Sneakin’ sally through the alley, trying to get away clean
Sneakin’ sally through the alley, Oh, when up pops the queen
Trying to double talk-talk, get myself in trouble talk, catching myself in lies
Catching myself in lies
Mama just looked at me as if I was, ah, crazy
And didn’t even bat an eye

Sneakin’ sally through the alley
Just been caught,
Oh, oh, Sneakin, sneakin, sneakin,
Sneakin’ sally through the alley
Sneakin’ sally through the alley
Trying to get away clean
Sneakin’ sally through the alley with sally
Oh, when up pops the queen

I’m the man on the mountain, come on up
I’m the plowman in the valley with a face full of mud
Yes, I’m fumbling and I know my car don’t start
Yes, I’m stumbling and I know I play a bad guitar

Give me little drink from your loving cup
Just one drink and I’ll fall down drunk

I’m the man who walks the hillsides in the sweet summer sun
I’m the man that brings you roses when you ain’t got none
Well I can run and jump and fish, but I won’t fight
You if you want to push and pull with me all night

Give me little drink from your loving cup
Just one drink and I’ll fall down drunk

I feel so very humble with you tonight
Just sitting in front of the fire
See your face dancing in the flame
Feel your mouth kissing me again
What a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz
What a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz
Oh, what a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz

Yes, I am nitty gritty and my shirt’s all torn
But I would love to spill the beans with you till dawn

Give me little drink from your loving cup
Just one drink and I’ll fall down drunk

Give me little drink
Give me little drink
Give me little drink
Give me little drink
Give me little drink
Give me little drink
Give me little drink
Give me little drink
Give me little drink
Give me little drink
Give me little drink

Dusty roads through the canyon gorge
Like a bullet baby how we run
Steer me babe with a gentle hand
On into that old boy sun

 

I am your Motor Kine, I know you’ve seen me riding
Greased back I shine like lighting, leg up mamma and take a ride


Dusty roads through the canyon gorge

Steer me babe with a gentle hand
On into that old boy sun

Your desert is of the rarest beauty,  I’ve never seen the like
Your sands they give me my water, Your sun keeps me alive

Race down the pacific ocean
Run down those Mexico sands
Just for nothing babe, just cause I want to
Gonna fly all across these lands

 

Motor Kine don’t take low octane
Get yourself out and buy me some premium fuel
Motor Kine don’t run on that cheap stuff
Ease your hand mamma, keep me cool

Race down the pacific ocean
Run down those Mexico sands
Just for nothing babe, just cause I want to
Gonna fly all across these lands

New Day Dawn | Not Yet Released

Key of F | (Bb harp)

Ain’t no right ain’t no wrong when you sit and watch a new day dawn

Ain’t no wrong ain’t no right been sittin’ since the dark of night

Walked myself to the edge of town, made damn sure no one follow me down

Yes and to keep myself a little company, well I gotta little hipper from the whiskey family

But it don’t, no it don’t, yes it don’t, matter much anyway

all alone, all alone, one and only, help me get my thinking straight

 

Just cut the cable and the TV screen just a rabid dog barking back at me.

So many voices chiming through my head cant put a face to all the words just said.

Get more listening to the wind and rain or the rumble of a diesel train

Cause a mans a man and a facts a fact, but those are lies and we can’t be lied to like that

But it don’t, no it don’t, yes it don’t, matter much anyway

all alone, all alone, one and only, help me get my thinking straight

 

Hear the drummer get wicked!!!  Hear here the drummer get wicked!

 

You cant tell a lie through a song and expect folks to listen all that long.

Guitar note catch a breeze and off it go, and whos gonna catch em I don’t know.

Way over top a voice gonna hit that note and you know it’s coming from a blueman’s throat.

Thats my version of a TV screen, you see it don’t have to be all obscene.

But it don’t, no it don’t, yes it don’t, matter much anyway

all alone, all alone, one and only, help me get my thinking straight

Ragtop Car | Single 2022

Key of F | (Bb harp) Modulate to Cm follow Mike

Some say that the love of the wanderlust
Is just a life that won’t amount to much,
A man born with rambling shoes
Is just another man born to loose
I want to set the record straight,
Before I hit the road today.  Hit the road jack no more

Got a ragtop car, enough gas to take us far
Enough away, cause I plan to drive all-day
When the evening comes we’ll be like loaded guns
Out in the night shooting stars from the sky, baby

When the blue sky’s lost in a concrete maze,
I get the feeling, I wanna get lost for days
Lace-up my rambling shoes
Get a chance to beat the 3rd street blues
Race up the Taconic Parkway
Drive until the break of Day( Make a love stop along the way) – yeah yeah Back seat style yeah

Got a ragtop car, enough gas to take us far
Enough away, cause I plan to drive all-day
When the evening comes we’ll be like loaded guns
Out in the night shooting stars from the sky, baby

SOLOS INSTRUMENTAL

I got myself a roady in my hand
Talking a cool Pabst Blue ribbon, in a can
I’m not trying to be tough just priming up the motor of love
Gotta loosen up here come my baby OHHHH, I love the way she just a struttin’ that stuff.

Got a ragtop car, enough gas to take us far
Enough away, cause I plan to drive all-day
When the evening comes we’ll be like loaded guns
Out in the night shooting stars from the sky, baby


FADE OUT repeat the last line getting softer & softerOut in the night shooting stars from the sky, baby

Join Along | Not Yet Released

Key of C | (F harp)

She stepped right off of the train, Headed straight across the platform
Behold her beautiful face, Asking for a lighter, you got one

Let me see the moonlight in your eyes
Let me see the New York City light
Let me smell the incense in the air
Baby don’t you know that we’re almost there

Because
Each night is only rock and roll, babe
You can have it any way you want
Or else waltz away

Madison Square, walk right inside
From where I stand they look you right in the eyes
This song I’ve sang out loud a million times
Right there, the square, the square

Oh won’t you feel it
Won’t you join along
Won’t you feel, feel, feel it, join along
Won’t you feel, feel, feel it, join along

VERSE 2—————
If you want a right place, If you want a piece of the action, action
Whole sweet embrace, Always amplify attraction

VERSE 2—————
When we missed the last train home
Camped for Letterman tickets but got none
Float through outer space
Rockafeller Center and then some

Come Easily | To Love a Wild Fire 2020

Key of D | (G harp)

Intro 4X

Makes no difference where I’m going doesn’t really matter where I’ve been

When I feel her eyes upon me I know, I’m exactly where I need to be

Home is where you make it, Sweet home should come easily

Could be on some distant beach Im a lying, Could be neath shade of my baby’s tree

 

I spent six years in New York City, like living in a penitentiary

Stole a motorbike rode it to the ocean, My broken heart came back to me

Home lord you’ve got to go out and take it, Sweet home should come easily

Could be on some highway that I’m riding, Could be left behind in those city streets

 

C Bridge 8X SKAT and Hum along with bridge.

 

I came to reside in California, Spend my days rolling at the beach

All the pretty girls there they let their hair down, they’ve got nothing on my sweet beauty

Home feels just like my woman, Does it fell good?! Lord you’d better believe

She comes & joins me anywhere Im lying, She gives me shade beneath her tree

 

C Bridge 8X SKAT and Hum along with bridge.

Key of C Major Am | (Am harp)

Intro 4X A- to C vamp

One solitary man looking at the moon, looking at the moon

One beaten down dream had the guts to stand, stand tall through it all

I saw her run run into the night, run across the dawn

One single rose was thrown it fell into my hand, it fell into my hand

I will ride, across the midnight sky, I see you look up, with your starlit eyes

 

2X Bridge———-   INSTRUMENTAL

2X Roll on the back of the Milky Way if you like

 

One solitary man had the guts to dream, dream a dream out loud, go west young man

One million stars at once looked me in the eyes blew my mind, blew my mind

One heart rise above the rest All the rest will fall, All the rest will fall

One look in those eyes I decided to stay, I decided to stay

 

2X Chorus ———

I will ride, across the midnight sky

I see you look up, with your starlit eyes

 

2X Bridge———-   INSTRUMENTAL

2X Roll on the back of the Milky Way if you like

 

Verse ———

One look in those eyes blew my mind, blew my mind

One listen to her song Filled my heart, it didn’t take long

One listen to her song blew my mind, blew my mind

One solitary man looking at the moon, looking at the moon

 

2X Chorus ———

I will ride, across the midnight sky

I see you look up, with your starlit eyes

Kick It Back Cut Loose | Not Released

Key of G | (D harp)

Working from 9 to 5 can beat a man down from day to day

but when your working for whiskey and women, Hearing what I say?

THis old dog has learned a thing or two just a riding on the country lanes

Sometimes you need to take the whell and gey beyond that rat race.

 

 

 

—chorus—

There aint no use in thinking when you know what you gotta do

talking is procrastination, you got to kick it down and break it loose

ohh lord kick it down and break it loose

——

 

People spending their lives trying to keep one up on their brother man

I pay no mind to that bullshit, yes I never give a god damn

looking back to the happiest days barely made myself the months rent

no I couldn’t find 2 dimes to rub together, never worried bout what I spent

 

—chorus—

Its been too many years I lost count some time ago

seems like the faces and places of my childhood melt away like a late snow

been away from town for so many years they’ll hardly recognize my face

so take me Mississippi river take me back to my mammas place

 

 

 

LA Woman | Cover

Key of A | (D harp)

 

Well, I just got into town about an hour ago

Took a look around, see which way the wind blow

Where the little girls in their hollywood bungalows

Are you a lucky little lady in the city of light

Or just another lost angel…city of night

City of night, city of night, city of night, woo, cmon

— GUITAR

L.a. woman, l.a. woman  

L.a. woman sunday afternoon 3X

Drive through your suburbs

Into your blues, into your blues, yeah Into your blue-blue blues Into your blues, ohh, yeah

–LATIN — 8x

I see your hair is burnin, Hills are filled with fire

If they say I never loved you, You know they are a liar

Drivin down your freeways, Midnight alleys roam

Cops in cars, the topless bars, Never saw a woman…

So alone, so alone So alo-o-one, so alone 

 

Motel money murder madness

Lets change the mood from glad to sadness

Mr. mojo risin 4X  Got to keep on risin

Mr. mojo risin 4X  Got to keep on risin

Risin, risin 4X

Well, risin, risin I gotta, wooo, yeah, risin Woah, ohh yeah

 

Well, I just got into town about an hour ago

Took a look around, see which way the wind blow

Where the little girls in their hollywood bungalows

Are you a lucky little lady in the city of light

Or just another lost angel…city of night

City of night, city of night, city of night, woo, cmon

 

L.a. woman, l.a. woman, l.a. woman, your my woman

Little l.a. woman, little l.a. woman  L.a. l.a. woman woman, l.a. woman cmon
