Jimmy Reed Tribute EP

 Bright Lights Big City

Bright lights, big city they've gone to my baby's head
Bright lights, big city they've gone to my baby's head
Don't wanna try to tell a woman
But she don't believe the words I said

Alright, pretty baby gonna need my help someday
Alright, pretty baby gonna need my help someday
You're gonna wish you haven't listened
To some of other things I said

Go ahead, pretty baby just knock yourself out
Go ahead, pretty baby honey, just knock yourself out
I still love you because you don't know what it's all about
Bright lights, big cities they went to my baby's head
Bright lights, big cities they went to my baby's head
I hope you remember just some of those things I said

Big Legged Woman

Big leg woman, what you trying to do to me?
Big leg woman, what you trying to do to me?
Taking all my money leave me nothing but misery

Breaking hearts you should be ruling making a play thing out of love
Breaking hearts you should be ruling making a play thing out of love
I wonder who'll be your next ticket thought you the one I'm thinking of

I'll swim a river for ya if you take me back again
I'll swim a river for ya if you take me back again
I pay the price or suffer twice because your heart is just like ice

Really sounds good playing that sounds good together!
You know, it's got to sound good, when I pay the price and suffer twice!
If this woman just takes me back again, you know

Down In Mississippi

Down in Mississippi where cotton grow tall
Get arrested for trouble you got to call the hound dog
Down in Mississippi, whoa yeah, where the cotton grow tall
And on the other hand boll weevil wearing overalls

Go to work in the morning, you know about 4 o'clock
If the mule don't holler I don't know when to stop
Down in Mississippi where the cotton grow tall
Well, and on the other hand boll weevil wearing overalls

I go to church in the morning you know, down the railroad track
Late over in the evening they bring, bring the preacher back
He eat up all the chicken now but uh right to the neck
Look over at my baby and he eat up all the rest 
Because he was down in Mississippi where the cotton grow tall
Well now, and on the other hand boll weevil wearing overalls

Down In Virginia

I went down in Virginia where the green grass grows
I tried to tell myself, you didn't want me no more
I told my baby stop doing me wrong why don't you pack your clothes 
And bring your fine self home shut up you know you doing me wrong

You know I'm so tired tired of being alone shut up you know you doing me wrong!
Why don't you pack your things, and bring your fine self home?
I went down in Virginia where the green grass grows

I went down in Virginia where the green grass grows
I tried to tell myself, you didn't want me no more
I told my baby stop doing me wrong why don't you pack your clothes 
And bring your fine self home shut up you know you doing me wrong

Big Boss Man

Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call
Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call
Well, you ain't so big, you're just tall, that's all

Got me working, boss man, working 'round the clock
I want me a drink of water, but you won't let Jimmy stop
Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call?
Well, you ain't so big, you just tall, that's all

Well, I'm gonna get me a bossman, one gonna treat me right
Work hard in the day time, rest easy at night
Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call?
Well, you ain't so big, you're just tall, that's all

Going By The River

I'm going to the river and gonna set down on the side
Well I know what's sinning me you done said goodbye
Well I used to live in the country now I live in town
Well one woman drove me crazy other one put me down

Well I hate to ask you I know this is a sin
Well I hate to ask you but take me back again
I'm begging you and I'm all down on my knees
Well now take me back  that's all I need

I'm going to the river and gonna set down on the side
Well I know what's sinning me you done said goodbye
Well I used to live in the country now I live in town
Well one woman drove me crazy other one put me down
