BD’s Blues

Abigail’s Blues

Big John, Little John, where have you been?
Oh whoa oh ho oh Big, Big John, where have you been?
You been a longtime stranger here
And now you’re back again

Oh my Big John, where have you been?
Oooh my Big John, where have you been?
My nest’s been empty
And my patience at an end

You bring your stuff ‘round here, like it’s the best around
Ah haaa, you bring your stuff ‘round here, like it’s the best around
Go on back to your other mama
And stay ‘way from my little town

Go on back to the railway station
And don’t be comin’ back again

Go on back to that railway station
And don’t be comin’ back this way again

The Ruby

I just can’t get hold of my big self
No, no, no, I can’t get hold of my great big self
Since you took the ruby
My achin’ love’s been on the shelf

Since you took the ruby
My self’s been on the run
Since you took your sweet red ruby
I’ve been on the run
Don’t know what to do….. can’t have no fun

Please come home sweet baby
Come on home to me
Please, please come home my baby
Come on home to me
I’ll die without the ruby, just you wait and see

When I lay me in my coffin
Please come visit me

I hope you’ll visit often
And bring the ruby with you, just for me to see

In the Box Car

Box car baby, box car baby now
Box car baby, in the box car now
Don’t know what you’re doin’
And I can’t show you how

Oh, I can’t show you
I can’t show you how
You all by yourself
You in the box car now

In the box car, nowhere near a train
You’re into the box car, and nowhere near a train
It’s good lovin’
But it just ain’t the same

Let loose of that box car
Get yourself a friend

Let go that box car baby
But keep it ‘til the end

Roll in the Roadhouse Blues

Roll in to the roadhouse
Roll on in and choose
Roll down to the roadhouse
Sit yourself down and choose

Have your favorite pleasure
Ain’t got nothin’ to loose

Nothin’ to loose or maybe
There’ll be nothin’ to find
Nothin’ to lose so maybe
The fun is all in your mind

In you mind or maybe
If your dreams come true
Be kind to your baby
She’ll be kind to you

So roll in the roadhouse
Roll on two
Roll on past the roadhouse
Take your baby; take her on home with you

Wild in the Window

Wild in the window
Wild as can be
Get out of the window
Everyone can see

See how you do me baby
See what you did to me
Get out of the window
Come on home with me

Come on home and give me
Just what I want to see
Be proud of your good self
Save it for only me

Save it for me only
Save it for me

When I’m good and lonely
Bring it on home to me

A Beautiful Night for Romance

Well it’s a beautiful night for romance
With a wonderful lady I know
Oh, what a night for romance
We’ll start off by goin’ real slow
Well I look around and I see her
With all her beauty and passion in tow
All the stars in sky want to be her
I’m the luckiest one, yes I know

Ahaaaaaaaaaa romance
Just when the time has come
We won’t hear any sounds we are making
‘ Cause we’ll be dancing as one

In the time it takes you to holler
We’ll fall in love with each other
Who we were is gone now forever
Who we are now is one together
Long before the night is over
We’ll be out in time to get home
Long before the night is over
We’ll be back in the throes on our own

Ahaaaaaaaaaa romance
Just when the time has come
We won’t hear any sounds we are making
‘ Cause we’ll be dancing as one

Well it’s a beautiful night for romance
With a wonderful lady I know
Oh, what a night for romance
We’ll start off by goin’ real slow
Well I look around and I see her
With all her beauty and passion in tow
All the stars in sky want to be her
I’m the luckiest one, yes I know

Ahaaaaaaaaaa romance
Ahaaaaaaaaaa romance
Yes I’m the luckiest one, I know
