James Alley Blues歌词

Times ain't now nothing like they used to be

Oh times ain't now nothing like they used to be

And I'm tellin' you all the truth oh take it for me

I done seen better days but I'm puttin' up with these

I done seen better days but I'm puttin' up with these

I been havin' a much better time with these girls
Now I'm so hard to please

'Cos I was born in the country she thinks I'm easy to rule

'Cos I was born in the country she thinks I'm easy to rule

She try to hitch me to her wagon
She want to drive me like a mule

You know I bought some groceries and I paid the rent

Yes I buy some groceries and I pay the rent

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

I said if you don't want me why don't you tell me so

You know if you don't want me why don't you tell me so

Because it ain't like a man that ain't got nowhere to go

I've been givin' you sugar for sugar let you get salt for salt

I'll give you sugar for sugar let you get salt for salt

And if you can't get 'long with me well it's your own fault

How you wanted me to love you and you treat me mean

How do you want me to love you you keep on treatin' me mean

You're my daily thought and my nightly dream

Sometimes I think that you too sweet to die

Sometimes I think that you too sweet to die

And another time I think you oughta be buried alive
