Hannah Johnson – Shaken
Nowhere Train
Hannah Johnson/Stewart Johnson
I stood in line to buy my ticket
And I’ve been waiting for years
I’ve paid my dues I’ve shed my tears
Now I am outta here
My bags are packed and I’m ready
But this is what I found
That the train that I’ve been travelling on
Was nowhere bound
It’s a nowhere train, It’s a nowhere train
You’re never gonna get there on that nowhere train
It’s a nowhere train, It’s a nowhere train
You’re never gonna get there on that nowhere train
On the nowhere train there aint no tunnels of love
Just the rain falling down
from the harsh skies up above
On that nowhere train
There aint no point in turning back
Each side you’re looking
Is the wrong side of the track
Now I aint going nowhere, on that nowhere train
I will not ask for money back
Or seek to complain
I’ve been via all the dead end towns
Along this beaten track
And I know that got me going nowhere fast
And I guess I oughta be thankful to him for that
Morning Cocktail
Hannah Johnson/Sarah Sharp
Shake me up, shake me, up something strong
Cold, numb like you want me
Stone cold as you drug me
All along
You know you could hardly wait until dawn
Certain you should serve me
With a splash if you don’t deserve me
After all
So sure you might run out of time
Searching for some meaning
A love so demeaning
You use others to carry your pain
You’re determined to live your life on your own
Just know that when you drank me
I was yours for the taking
I was home
Were you scared you might burn in the light
Knowing true meaning
Of two souls careening
There’s such pain that you carry
You’re so damned determined
To live your life on your own
Just know that when you drank me
I was yours for the taking
That was home
Three Days
Willie Nelson
Three days that I dread to see arrive
Three days that I hate to be alive
Three days filled with tears and sorrow
Yesterday, today and tomorrow
There are three days I know that I’ll be blue
Three days that I’ll always dream of you
And it does no good to hope these days will end
‘Cause the same three days, start over again
Your Girlfriend Hates Me
Hannah Johnson/Sarah Sharp
Your girlfriend hates me
You know its true
I’ve tried to tell her
Its not me, it’s you
The way you play her
Is kinda cruel
Making eyes at every other woman
Walks through the room
She shows up acting like
She’s all sweet and bashful
Telling everyone she’s with the band
She’s shooting daggers at me
Through her false eyelashes
Cos she don’t know how to keep her man
Your girlfriend hates me
You know its true
I’ve tried to tell her
Its not me, it’s you
The way you play her
Is kinda cruel
Making eyes at every other woman
Walks through the room
She’s on her fourth Jack Daniels
And she’d dripping ashes
Telling everyone she’s with the band
She’s shooting daggers at me
Through her false eyelashes
Cos she don’t know how to keep her man
Your girlfriend’s crazy
And she’s wasting my time
Cos if I wanted you
You’d already be mine
Yeah I f I wanted you
You’d already be mine
Gotta Get You From That Crowd
Skeets McDonald
Every night you leave me, but you don’t go very far
I don’t have to wonder cause I know just where you are
Your down at Big Joe’s barroom, where the music’s clear and loud
With a helpless mind from too much wine, I’ve gotta get you from that crowd
I wait till after midnight, then I take a stroll
I fight each night to get you, before you lose control
I’m not afraid to love you, I could never be that proud
Every night the same old fight, I’ve gotta get you from that crowd
The nights are oh so bitter, but a thought stays in my mind
The thought of things that you might do when you‘ve had too much wine
So I’ll be there to catch you, then I’ll have no doubt
At least until tomorrow night, I’ve gotta get you from that crowd
Trouble In Mind
Richard M Jones
Trouble in mind I’m blue, but I won’t be blue always
‘Cause the sun’s gonna shine on my backdoor someday
I’m gonna lay my head, on some lonesome railroad line
And let that 219 rest and ease my worried mind
Trouble in mind I’m blue and I almost lost my mind
Sometimes I feel like livin’, sometimes I feel like dyin’
I’m going down to the river, I’m gonna buy me a rocking chair
And if the blues don’t leave then I’m gonna rock away from here
Trouble in mind I’m blue, my heart is beating slow
I never had so much trouble in my life before
My good man he done quit me and it sure did dread my mind
When you see me out laughing I’m just a tryna keep from cryin’
Not in Nottingham (Birmingham)
Roger Miller
Every town, has its ups and downs
Sometimes ups, out number the downs
Not in Birmingham
I’m inclined to believe
If we weren’t so down
We’d up and leave
We’d up and fly if we had wings for flyin’
Can’t you see the tears we’re cryin’
Can’t there be no happiness for me
Not in Birmingham
Sooner or Later
Bob Wills/Artie Glenn
Sooner or later you will fall for someone
Just the way I fell for you
Maybe you’ll sit and cry and watch love pass by
I hope this doesn’t happen to you
Sooner or later, your someone may be carefree
And treat you like you treated me
If this ever happens to you
You won’t know just what to do
But sooner or later you’ll fall
Sooner or later you will fall for someone
Just the way I fell for you
Maybe you’ll sit and cry and watch love pass by
I hope this doesn’t happen to you
Sooner or later, your someone may be carefree
And treat you like you treated me
If this ever happens to you
Then you’ll know what I’ve been through
But sooner or late you’ll fall
Don’t you know that sooner or late you’ll fall
Never No More
Rita Ross/Alan Black
Never no more will I be all alone
Never no more will I be a stay at home
‘Cause I’ve got me somebody
Who makes me happy when I’m blue
Never no more will I cry for him
Never no more will I try for him
‘Cause I’ve got me somebody
Who makes me happy when blue
I’ve been all around, a-paintin’ the town
Saw all the old faces and all the old places
That we used to know
But all that has past, got someone at last
Who makes me so happy that never no more
Will I ever, no never be blue
Never no more will I see him
Never no more, now that I’m free of him
‘Cause I’ve got me somebody
Who makes me happy when I’m blue
West Texas Lullaby
Gwil Owen
Evening is falling down from the sky
Time now for dreaming so close your eyes
And I’ll sit beside you and I will try
To sing you a West Texas Lullaby
Yodelayhee hush now my darlin’
Yodelyayhee now don’t you cry
It’s only the tumbleweed, tumbling by
Bringing a West Texas Lullaby
You’re safe in the arms of the dessert my love
Ten thousand stars looking down from above
And a blanket of moonbeams keeping you dry
Bringing a West Texas Lullaby
Yodelayhee hush now my darlin’
Yodelyayhee now don’t you cry
It’s only the coyote, saying goodnight
Bringing a West Texas Lullaby
Yodelayhee hush now my darlin’
Yodelyayhee now don’t you cry
It’s only the tumbleweed, tumbling by
Singing a West Texas Lullaby
Shake It & Break It But (Don’t Let it Fall Mama)
Charlie Patton
Just shake it, you can break it, you can hang it on the wall
Out the window, catch it ‘fore it roll
Just shake it, you can break it, you can hang it on the wall
Out the window, catch it ‘fore it falls
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama don’t you let it fall
Everybody have a jelly roll like mine, I lives in town
I, ain’t got no brown, I, I want it now
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama don’t you let it fall
You can snatch it, you can grab it, you can break it, you can twist it
Any way that I love to get it
I, had my right mind since I, blew in this town
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama don’t you let it fall
Just shake it, you can break it, you can hang it on the wall
Out the window, catch it ‘fore it roll
Just shake it, you can break it, you can hang it on the wall
Out the window, catch it ‘fore it falls
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama don’t you let it fall
I ain’t got nobody here but me and myself
I, stay blue all the time, aw when the sun goes down
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama don’t you let it fall
Just shake it, you can break it, you can hang it on the wall
Out the window, catch it ‘fore it roll
Just shake it, you can break it, you can hang it on the wall
Out the window, catch it ‘fore it falls
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama don’t you let it fall
You can snatch it, you can grab it, you can break it, you can twist it
Any way that I love to get it
I, had my right mind since I, blew in this town
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama don’t you let it fall
I know I’ve been to town, I, I walked around
I, start leavin’ town, I, I fool around
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama don’t you let it fall
Just shake it, you can break it, you can hang it on the wall
Out the window, catch it ‘fore it roll
Just shake it, you can break it, you can hang it on the wall
Out the window, catch it ‘fore it falls
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama don’t you let it fall
Just shake it, you can break it, you can hang it on the wall
Out the window, catch it ‘fore it falls
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama don’t you let it
