1. THIRTEEN DAYS

Thirteen days on a gig down south
We've got enough dope to keep us all happy
We've got two girls dancing the pick of the crowd
Sound man to mix us, make us sound loud
Sometimes we make money, sometimes we don't know
Thirteen days with life to go

Birmingham and Mobile not to Baton Rouge
Smoking cigarettes and reefer, drinking coffee and booze
See the sun come up in Georgia, go down in New Orleans
Never get to know a woman, except to get in her jeans
Sometimes we make money, sometimes we don't know
Thirteen days with life to go

Migrant Worker is the name of this band
When we come to your town, come see us if you can
Well, we been to California, we been to New York
Some think we're good, others they don't
Sometimes we make money, sometimes I don't know
Thirteen days with life to go


2. BOILIN' POT

Now she don't know where she is
How sexy she can be

She don't realize what her eyes do to me
She keeps me hot, like a boilin' pot
She whispers in my ear, "Let's do it right here"

The ways of a wantin' woman, hauntin' mystery
The style she has will never fade as long as she has me

She keeps me hot, like a boilin' pot
She whispers in my ear, "Let's do it right here"
She keeps me hot, like a boilin' pot

Burning right through the night
It don't take long for her to catch my eye
When she wants to suck me in, it's easy as pie

She keeps me hot, like a boilin' pot
Burning right through the night


3. I'LL MAKE LOVE TO YOU ANYTIME

I can't read and I can't write
And I don't know my left from right
I can't tell if the sun's gonna shine
And I don't know if you'll ever be mine
But I'll make love to you any old time

I can't swim and I can't fly
I ain't no fish, I ain't no bird in the sky
I can't tell if the sun's gonna shine
And I don't know if you'll ever be mine
But I'll make love to you any old time

I can't count from one to ten
And I don't know the shape I'm in
I can't tell if the sun's gonna shine
And I don't know if you'll ever be mine
But I'll make love to you any old time


4. DON'T CRY SISTER

Don't cry sister cry, it'll be alright, in the morning
Don't cry sister cry, everything'll be just fine
Don't cry sister cry, it'll be alright, I tell you no lie
Don't cry sister cry, don't do it, don't do it

When Old Man Trouble knocks on your door
Don't give him no key, he just wants more
He'll turn your life to misery
Kick you down, just like me

Don't cry sister cry, it'll be alright, in the morning
Don't cry sister cry, everything'll be just fine

If you woke downhearted and you feel so bad
Somebody wants something of nothing you had
Love don't come too easy, you see
A little bit of you and a little bit of me

Don't cry sister cry, don't do it, don't do it
Don't cry sister cry, everything'll be just fine

Everything'll be just fine
Everything'll be just fine

Don't cry sister cry, don't do it, don't do it
Don't cry sister cry, don't do it, don't do it


5. TOO MUCH FOR ME

Somebody touched me late last night
Had this woman and I still feel right
Some kind of feeling up and down my spine
Plays with my head and mess with my mind

She tickled my toe and she kissed my ear
Told me not to worry, told me not to fear
Oo-wee, she felt good to me
Gotta have another, just like the other

Last night brother was too much for me
I felt like a junkie couldn't score no dope
I buzzed the brass then I lost all hope

Lying down woman, she got me too hot
We had a little drink, and we smoked a little pot
All I knew was something happened to me
I was unsuspicious as anyone could be

She set me on fire, I'm telling you
Let me tell you brother, I didn't know what to do
Sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's not
Sometimes you get it and sometimes you're got

Oo-wee, it felt good to me
Gotta have another, just like the other
Last night brother was too much for me


6. SENSITIVE KIND

Don't take her for granted
She has a hard time
Don't misunderstand her
Or play with her mind

Treat her so gently
It will pay you in time
You've got to know
She's the sensitive kind

Tell her you love her
Each and every night
You will discover
She will treat you right

If you believe
I know you will find
There ain't nothing like
The sensitive kind

She gets so lonely
Waiting for you
You are the only
Thing to help her through

Don't take her for granted
She has a hard time
You've got to know
She's the sensitive kind


7. FRIDAY

Monday morning comes too early
Work my back to the bone
All day monday I keep thinking, "Weekend's coming, gonna go home"

Tuesday I hate, oh Tuesday, ain't no girls on the streets
Tuesday it ain't good for nothing drinking beer, watching TV

Friday, Friday evening
Come on Friday, it's been too long

Friday, Friday evening
Come on Friday, I wanna go home

Friday, Friday evening
Come on Friday, it's been too long

Friday, Friday evening
Come on Friday, I wanna go home

Wednesday's hump day, hump day's Wednesday
Over the hump, the week's half-gone
If I had my pay on Wednesday I'd hang out, the hump day's gone

Thursday, you know I feel better
I can see the end in sight
Think I'll write myself a letter
Help myself through the night

Friday, Friday evening
Come on Friday, it's been too long

Friday, Friday evening
Come on Friday, I wanna go home


8. LOU-EASY-ANN

Lou-Easy-Ann
I hear you're calling back to me
Lou-Easy-Ann
I hear you're calling back to me
Lord I'm going back to New Orleans
Lou-Easy-Ann set me free

Bourbon Street mama
You've never seen in your life
Bourbon Street mama
You keep it clean all inside
Lord I'm going back to New Orleans

Lou-Easy-Ann you've got it right
Lou-Easy-Ann
Ain't no woman quite like you
Lou-Easy-Ann
The way you do the things you do
Lord I'm coming back to New Orleans
Lou-Easy-Ann you've got me hooked on you


9. LET'GO TO TAHITI

Let's go to Tahiti
Let's go to Tahiti
Let's go to Tahiti
Let's go to Tahiti

Well the man been working in the shop all year
He said "Men, we've got to get out of here"
Well the girl been working in the five-and-dime
She says, "Girls, let's go while we've still got the time"

Let's go to Tahiti
Let's go to Tahiti
Let's go to Tahiti
Let's go to Tahiti

Tell the captain "Put the rhum on the boat"
Everybody on board, let's see if she'll float
Let that old jet plane fly on by
We've got the time till the day we die

Let's go to Tahiti
Let's go to Tahiti
Let's go to Tahiti
Let's go to Tahiti


10. KATY COOL LADY

I sure do miss you babe
You know it's been a while
Way too long since you been gone
I'm almost out of style

You treat me kind and gentle
You're always on my mind
A love that's true I keep for you
Until the end of time

Someday you've got to come back
Stay with me a while
I'll take some time to make you mine
And keep you out of style


11. FATE OF A FOOL

Spending my life in a cold hard bar room
Drinking that long black whisky down
I play the guitar
For me it's a living
Well I know
Just a hangin' around

Dancing girls
Oh they drive me crazy
All they want is a Fancy Dan
Now I know, I might not make it
That's the fate of a fool and a guitar man
Being bound now

To the palace of pleasure
Honky-tonk
Where I come from
Smoke so thick I can imagine
Wine flows fast by the rule of a gun
One of these mornings it'll come up sunday

I won't have a good time again
That time ain't now
It's a whole new dream
That's the fate of a fool and a guitar man

One more night
One more dollar
One more song

Can you do it again
I don't know
I may not make it

That's the fate of a fool and a guitar man
That's the fate of a fool and a guitar man


12. MONA

Mona she comes in the morning
She brings me a bottle of wine
She comes to my bed soothes up my head
Makes me feel alright
Makes me feel alright

Mona she comes on a friday
She stays into the night
Mona she comes to my bedroom
To keep my spirits high
To keep my spirits high

Mona she brings me no money
She brings me no food
All she brings is her sweet sweet love
Makes my afternoon
Makes my afternoon
When daylight falls from my window
Another night's come and gone
I always know 'cause I'm feeling so low

Mona you know she has gone
Mona you know she has gone

When daylight falls from my window
Another night's come and gone
I always know 'cause I'm feeling so low

Mona you know she has gone
Mona you know she has gone
