I've been spinning out of time

Couple women by my side

I got sinning on my mind, sipping on red wine

I've been sitting here for ages

Ripping out the pages

How'd I get so faded, how'd I get so faded

No no don't leave me lonely now

If you loved me how'd you never learn

Color crimson in my eyes

One or two could free my mind

This is how it ends

I feel the chemicals burn in my bloodstream

Fading out again

I feel the chemicals burn in my bloodstream

So tell me when it kicks in

I've been looking for a love

Thought I'd find her in a bottle

God make me another one

I'll be feeling this tomorrow

Lord forgive me for the things I've done

I was never meant to hurt no one

I saw scars upon a broken hearted lover

No no don't leave me lonely now

If you loved me

How'd you never learn

Color crimson in my eyes

One or two could free my mind

This is how it ends

I feel the chemicals burn in my bloodstream

Fading out again

I feel the chemicals burn in my bloodstream

So tell me when it kicks in

So tell me when it kicks in

All the voices in my mind

Calling out across the line

All the voices in my mind

Calling out across the line

All the voices in my mind

Calling out across the line

All the voices in my mind

Calling out across the line

All the voices in my mind

Calling out across the line

All the voices in my mind

Calling out across the line

Tell me when it kicks in

I saw scars upon her

Tell me when it kicks in

Broken heart

Tell me when it kicks in

I saw scars upon her

Tell me when it kicks in

Broken heart

Tell me when it kicks in

I saw scars upon her

Tell me when it kicks in

Broken heart

Tell me when it kicks in

I saw scars upon her

Tell me when it kicks in

Broken heart

So Tell me when it kicks in

I saw scars upon her

Tell me when it kicks in

Broken heart

Tell me when it kicks in

I saw scars upon her

Tell me when it kicks in

Broken heart

I'M LEAVING YOU BABY

David "Junior" Kimbrough (July 28, 1930 – January 17, 1998) was an American blues musician. His best-known works are "Keep Your Hands off Her" and "All Night Long".

Kimbrough was born in Hudsonville, Mississippi, and lived in the north Mississippi hill country near Holly Springs. His father, a barber, played the guitar, and Junior picked his guitar as a child.

Lord, have you ever been mistreated

Then you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking about

Yes, have you ever been mistreated

Then you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking about

Lord I work five long years for one woman,

And she had the nerve to kick me out

I got a job at a steel mill,

I'm shucking steel just like a slave

Five long years, every Friday y'all I went straight home yeah,

I went straight home

Mistreated

Then you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking about

Lord I work five long years for one woman,

And she had the nerve to kick me out

Lord but I finally learned a lesson,

I should have known long time ago

The next woman I marry, she gotta have two jobs,

And she gotta go out and work long and bring some dough

Lord, said I been mistreated

And you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking about

Lord I work five long years for one woman,

And she had the nerve to kick me out

Have you ever been mistreated

Then you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking about

Yes, have you ever been mistreated

Then you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking about

And she had the nerve to kick me out

Lord I finally learned a lesson,

I should have known a long time ago

The next woman I marry, she gotta have two jobs,

STORMY MONDAY

ERIC CLAPTON

SONGWRITER: T-Bone Walker

COUNTRY: U.K.

ALBUM: SLOWHAND

LABEL: POLYDOR

GENRE: BLUES ROCK

YEAR: 1977

Slowhand é um álbum de estúdio do guitarrista Eric Clapton, lançado em 1977. "Cocaine", "Wonderful Tonight" e "Lay Down Sally" foram lançadas como singles, e estão entre as músicas mais famosas de sua carreira. Slowhand é um apelido de Clapton, recebido nos Anos 60 quando o músico tocava nos The Yardbirds.

"Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday Is Just as Bad)" (commonly referred to as "Stormy Monday") is a song written and recorded by American blues electric guitar Pioneer T-Bone Walker. It is a slow twelve-bar blues performed in the West Coast blues-style that features Walker's smooth, plaintive vocal and distinctive guitar work. As well as becoming a record chart hit in 1948, it inspired B.B. King and others to take up the electric guitar. "Stormy Monday" became Walker's best-known and most-recorded song.

In 1961, Bobby "Blue" Bland further popularized the song with an appearance in the pop record charts. Bland introduced a new arrangement with chord substitutions, which was later used in many subsequent renditions. His version also incorrectly used the title "Stormy Monday Blues", which was copied and resulted in royalties being paid to songwriters other than Walker. The Allman Brothers Band recorded an extended version for their first live album in 1971, with additional changes to the arrangement. Through the album's popularity and the group's concert performances, they brought "Stormy Monday" to the attention of rock audiences. Similarly, R&B Singer Latimore's 1973 hit recording made it popular with a later R&B audience.

They call it stormy Monday, yes but Tuesday's just as bad.

They call it stormy Monday, yes but Tuesday's just as bad.

Wednesday's even worse; Thursday's awful sad.

The eagle flies on Friday, Saturday I go out to play.

The eagle flies on Friday, but Saturday I go out to play.

Sunday I go to church where I kneel down and pray.

And I say, "Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me.

Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me.

Just trying to find my baby, won't you please send her on back to me."

The eagle flies on Friday, on Saturday I go out to play.

The eagle flies on Friday, on Saturday I go out to play.

Sunday I go to church, where I kneel down, Lord and I pray.

Then I say, "Lord have mercy, won't you please have mercy on me.

Lord, oh Lord have mercy, yeah, won't you please, please have mercy on me.

I'm just a-lookin' for my sweet babe, so won't you please send him home, send him on home to me."·
