James Alley Blues (with Roger McGuinn) [Live]歌词

Times ain't now nothing like they used to be

Times ain't now nothing like they used to be

Well I tell you the truth won't you take my word from me

I've seen better days but I ain't puttin' up with these

I've seen better days but I ain't puttin' up with these

I Had a lot better times with the women
Down in New Orleans

'Cause I was born in the country she thinks I'm easy to lose

'Cause I was born in the country she thinks I'm easy to lose

She wants to hitch me to a wagon and drive me like a mule

I bought her a gold ring and I paid the rent

I bought her a gold ring and I paid the rent

She wants me to wash her clothes but I got good common sense

If you don't want me then why don't you just tell me so

If you don't want me then why don't you just tell me so

It ain't like I'm a man that ain't got no place to go

I give you sugar for sugar but all you want is salt for salt

I give you sugar for sugar but all you want is salt for salt

If you can't get along with me then it's your own fault

You want me to love you but then you just treat me mean

You want me to love you but then you just treat me mean

You're my daily thought and you're my nightly dream

Sometimes I think that you're just too sweet to die

Sometimes I think that you're just too sweet to die

And other times I think that you ought to be buried alive
