Jump That Train(5:16) Peverett I gotta run, 'cause I hear it comin', I gotta jump that train. I gotta run, 'cause I hear it comin', I gotta jump that train. I got tears in my eyes like fallin' rain, that's why I'm ridin' the blues train. John Lee Hooker had it all figured out, When he said, "It's in you and it's got to come out", I believe it's true, 'cause it worked for me before, If ain't right the first time, try it once more. No need to tell you 'cause it's understood, And it feels so good, yes it feels so good. I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train. I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train. I got tears in my eyes like fallin' rain, I got to jump, jump that train, I got to jump, jump that train, I got to jump, jump that train, that's why I'm ridin' the blues train. {Rod - Slide Solo} Jenny's got a face twice as long as a kite, 'Cause she didn't get everything she wanted last night. Her daddy's got money and she should be satisfied, With her brand new Roller and a pony to ride. Wants to find a lover, needs to be understood, And I know she could, yet I know she could. I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train, I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train, I got tears in my eyes like fallin' rain, that's why I'm ridin' the blues train. {Rod - Solo} Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah... I gotta jump, jump that train, I gotta jump, jump that train, I got to jump, jump that train. I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train, I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train. I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train, I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train. Whoo! {Rod - Slide Solo} Jump that train, jump that train, c'mon baby! Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah...
Louisiana Blues(5:47) Waters I'm goin' to Louisiana, baby, behind the sun, I'm goin' to Louisiana, baby, behind the sun, I just found out my trouble's just begun. I'm goin' to New Orleans, get me a mojo hand, I'm goin' to New Orleans, get me a mojo hand, Goin' to show all you women, show how to treat your man. Oh yea {John Popper Harp Solo - Rod - Slide Solo} Uh huh huh huh huh uh huh huh huh huh huh If the river was whiskey, I was a diving duck, If the river was whiskey, I was a diving duck, I'd swim to the bottom, drink myself back up, I'd swim to the bottom, drink myself back up. Mmmm Oooh oooh - Goin' to Louisiana, Louisiana
Motel Shaker(5:02) Peverett / Price / Jameson Shanghaied at midnight, to some sleazy motel, The blonde leading the blind, ah, she does it so well! A view of the highway, four walls and a bed, She's taking me down now and I'm so easily lead. She's got me right there where she wants, Where she can work me all night long. Motel shaker, tangled in sheets, the more she gets, the more she needs. Motel shaker, shaking the walls, three in the morning and she wants it all. She puts on her red dress and that's a dangerous sign, With her first-rate body and her one-track mind. Heart shakin' like an earthquake, just a little more fun, When you think it's all over, well she's hardly begun. She don't care what they can hear next door, She just wants to get what she came for. Motel shaker, tangled in sheets, the more she gets, the more she needs. Motel shaker, shaking the walls, the neighbors are knockin', but she ain't stopping. Motel shaker, tangled in sheets, the more she gets, the more she needs. Motel shaker, shaking the walls, three in the morning and she wants it all. {Rod - Slide Solo} Woo! Yeah! Shake it baby! She loves to shake me all night long, But in the morning she'll be gone, she'll be gone. Motel shaker, tangled in sheets, the more she gets, the more she needs. Motel shaker, shaking the walls, the neighbors are knockin', she ain't stoppin', Motel shaker, tangled in sheets, the more she gets, the more she needs. Motel shaker, shaking the walls, they keep on knockin', but she ain't stoppin'. Motel shaker, motel shaker Motel shaker, motel shaker...
Play Dirty(4:39) Peverett / Bassett I got a six string heater - jump in to the fire. I got a rim shot beater, that's my desire. Hundred-watt destroyer, gonna put you away, Turn it up to eleven, we came to play. If you don't sweat you don't get it. If it don't burn it ain't hot. If ain't nasty forget it. If it ain't rude it don't rock. Play dirty, play rough. Play dirty, 'cause I can't get enough. I got a mind half crazy, now ain't that sad! I can't stop rockin', but that's too bad. Overpowered distortion, blowin' out my brain, Shockwaves in my body, drivin' me insane. If you don't sweat you don't get it. If it don't burn it ain't hot. If ain't nasty forget it. If it ain't rude it don't rock. Play dirty, play rough, Play dirty, 'cause I can't get enough. {Rod - Slide Solo} Yeah! Ah huh huh huh huh.. If you don't sweat you don't get it. If it don't burn it ain't hot. If ain't nasty forget it, If it ain't rude it don't rock. Play d-i-r-t-y, play rough. Play dirty, 'cause I can't get enough. Play dirty, play rough, Play dirty, 'cause I can't get enough. Play dirty...
Nothin' But Trouble(4:49) Peverett / Price For the love of a woman, well many a man, Has wound up cryin', tryin' to understand. I've had my share of heartache and pain, I'm not worried now, I'm not ashamed. My first time lover I was just seventeen, We made love and I was lost in a dream. She said that nothin' would ever go wrong, I woke up one mornin' - guess what? - she was gone. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble. So many nights I spent alone, Just me and that damn telephone. Holdin' for love, but waiting in vain, The same old feelin', and it's drivin' me insane. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble. {Rod - Slide Solo} For the love of a woman, I searched high and low, Hopin' that someday I'd be troubled no more. I guess I was wrong in so many ways, Now I'll be in trouble for the rest of my days. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble. Trouble! {Rod - Slide Solo} Nothin' but trouble - nothin' but trouble Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble, yeah Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble...
Talk To Me Baby(3:57) James I just talked to my baby on the telephone, She said stop what you're doin' and come on home. Can't hold out, I can't hold out too long, I get a real good feelin' talkin' to you on the phone. She said, " Baby don't you worry, you're my heart's desire, You know I love you baby, can't stand to see you cry." Can't hold out, I can't hold out too long, I get a real good feelin' talkin' to you on the phone. I said talk to me baby, talk to me baby, Talk to me baby, talk to me baby, I get a real good feelin' talkin' to you on the phone. Oh yeah! {Rod - Slide Solo - 2 verses} She said, "Daddy don't you hurry, if you walk or fly, You know I'll love you baby now, until the day I die". Can't hold out, I can't hold out too long, I get a real good feelin' talkin' to you on the phone. I said talk to me baby, talk to me baby, Talk to me baby, talk to me baby, I get a real good feelin', c'mon baby, Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk - I said talk to me baby, talk to me baby, Talk to me baby, talk to me baby, I get a real good feelin' talkin' to you on the phone. Oh yea yeah

I don't want you, cook my bread, I don't want you, make my bed, I don't want you to be sad and blue, I just want to make love to you. (Love to you - love to you - love to you.)

Take Me To The River(5:14) Green / Hodges I don't know why I love you like I do, After the things that you put me through. You stole my money and my cigarettes, I haven't seen what I should forget. I want to know, won't you tell me? I'd love to stay, yea hey. Take me to the river, wash me down, Please my soul, put my feet on the ground. I don't know why she treat me so bad, After all the things that we coulda' had. My sweet sixteen I'll never regret, Love is a notion that I can't forget. I want to know, won't you tell me?

Take me to the river, wash me down, Please my soul, put my feet on the ground, oh yeah. {Rod - Dobro Solo} Hold me, love me, please me, squeeze me, Oh, 'til I can't, 'til I can't, 'til I can't, I can't take it no more.
