- End Of The Line2:51
Letra
This is the end of the line I've clearly read ever sign The way you glance at me Indifferently And take your hand from mine This is the end of the line How can I ever be fine How helpless I've become I feel like some discarded valentine Remember in the biginning Your winning ways excited me And all the while I was certain That we two found a love that comes just to a few We've reached the end of the line I hope your dreams turn out fine I'm awfully tired And so I guess I'll go Although it's only nine But this is the end of the line The end of the line - Trouble In Mind2:37
Letra
Trouble in mind, I'm blue But I won't be blue always, 'cause the sun's gonna shine In my backdoor some day. I'm all alone at midnight And my lamp is burnin' low Ain't never had so much Trouble in my life before. Trouble in mind, that's true I have almost lost my mind, Life ain't worth livin, Sometimes I feel like dyin'. Goin' down to the river Gonna take my ol' rockin' chair And if the blues don't leave me I'll rock away from there. You been a hard-hearted mama Great god! you been unkind Gonna be a cold, cold papa Cause you to lose your mind. I'm gonna lay my head down On some lonesome railroad line And let the two nineteen Pacify my mind. Well it's trouble, oh trouble Trouble on my worried mind, When you see me laughin' I'm laughin' just to keep from cryin'. - Tell Me More And More And Then Some3:05
Letra
Tell me more and then some Daddy you know what I wanna hear I want some more and then some of that I love you only dear I want some more and then some Oh how you feel And then when you done told me About a million times How much you love me And you're through Start right back again I've made the same mistake I know the awful ache Of a little heart that's been double crossed The waiting's been so long so long It's hard to be believing I thought I'd missed my guess I thought happiness for me was lost I want more some more Some more and then some You know how I love that stuff Whisper from now on till Doomsday But I never No I never no I never Will get enough - Chilly Winds Don't Blow3:59
- Ain't No Use2:35
- Strange Fruit3:26
Letra
Southern trees Bearin' strange fruit Blood on the leaves And blood at the roots Black bodies Swinging in the southern breeze Strange fruit hangin' From the poplar trees Pastoral scene Of the gallant south Them big bulging eyes And the twisted mouth Scent of magnolia Clean and fresh Then the sudden smell Of burnin' flesh Here is a fruit For the crows to pluck For the rain to gather For the wind to suck For the sun to rot For the leaves to drop Here is Strange and bitter crop - Sinnerman10:15
