Don't ask me 'bout tomorrow

Or tell me about my past

My heart is yours to borrow

Ain't nothing meant to last

 

I ain't lyin'

I don't lie

Without an alibi

 

Don't ask too many questions

You don't want answers to

You don't like my direction

Hell, I won't follow you

 

I ain't lyin'

I don't lie

Without an alibi

 

I told my dyin' daddy

That I had to run away

Looked him in the eyes

Said, "there ain't no other way"

So woman, if I tell you that I love you, be ok

 

'Cause I ain't lyin'

I don't lie

Without an alibi

 

I love you in the morning

And when the day is done

But if you want my freedom

You know I'm bound to run

 

I ain't lyin'

I don't lie

Without an alibi

 

I told my dyin' daddy

That I had to run away

Looked him in the eyes

Said, "there ain't no other way"

So woman, if I tell you that I love you, be ok

 

'Cause I ain't lyin'

I don't lie

Without an alibi.

Yeah, uh

Tell me what you really like

We don't ever have to fight

Just take it step-by-step

I can see it in your eyes

'Cause they never tell me lies

I can feel that body shake

And the heat between your legs

 

You've been scared of love and what it did to you

You don't have to run, I know what you've been through

Just a simple touch and it can set you free

We don't have to rush when you're alone with me

 

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

 

You are not the single type

So baby, this the perfect time

I'm just trying to get you high (I'm just tryna, babe)

And faded off this touch

You don't need a lonely night

So baby, I can make it right

You just got to let me try

To give you what you want

 

You've been scared of love and what it did to you

You don't have to run, I know what you've been through

Just a simple touch and it can set you free

We don't have to rush when you're alone with me

 

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

After that initial purchase, Billy was never without a harmonica.

Six years later, after graduating from the University of Illinois, he was touring with the Chicago Blues All-Stars, led by Dixon. Branch soon took the place of Carey Bell, Dixon's long time Harp player, when Bell left the All-Stars to form his own band.

            In the 1970s, Branch founded his own group, the Sons of Blues, with Lurrie Bell(the son of Carey Bell) on guitar and Freddie Dixon (the son of Willie Dixon) on bass guitar. They recorded for Alligator Records and, after a change in personnel, for Red Beans Records. The new band consisted of Carlos Johnson on guitar and J. W. Williams on vocals and bass guitar. Branch has also recorded for Verve Records and Evidence Records.

He has received three Grammy nominations (losing one nomination to B.B. King and Eric Clapton). He served two consecutive terms on the Grammy Board of Governors and currently is chairman of the Grammy Blues Committee. He has won multiple Blues Music Awards, an Emmy Award, an Addy Award, two Chicago Music Awards, and numerous humanitarian and achievement awards.

Ah the blues

The ball and chain that is 'round every English musician's leg

In fact every musician's leg

Tryin' to kick it off baby?

No no.

You'll just never do it

And these are the blues of time

And the blues of a woman

And a man thinkin' of her

As time goes by

 

There is nothin' I can do

If you leave me here to cry

There is nothin' I can do

If you leave me here to cry

You know my love will follow you baby

Mmm until the day I die

 

I've given you all I own;

That is one thing you cannot deny

Oh I've given you all I own;

Baby that is one thing you cannot deny

And my love will follow you baby

Yeah

Till the day this man dies.

 

I've got failure all around me

No matter how hard I try.

I've got failure

It's all around me

No matter how hard I

Try try

You know my ghost will haunt you baby

Until the day you stop down and die

Well you better get up

Right now right now

 

Well

You think that you have left me behind

And that with your other man you're safe

And you're away from me baby but uh

One o' these days you're gonna break down and cry

Because there is no escape from this man

Because this man's love is so strong

He's gonna haunt you

You know my love will follow you

Mmm until the day I die

 

There is just one thing I want to tell you before I go

I'm gonna leave it

I'm gonna leave it

Leave it up to you

So long

baby bye-bye

Hey I'm gonna leave it up to you baby

So long

baby bye-bye

 

Well you know my love will follow you

Mmm 'til the day I die

Till the day I die

Till the day I die

Till the day I die

Till the day I die

Till the day I am dead

Till the day that they rest my head

Till the day I die

Till the day I I I I die

Till the day I die

Till the day I die

Till the day I die

Till the day that you die and I die

Till the day I die
