Brother Ray

Has anyone here seen my Brother Ray
Has anyone here seen my Brother Ray
I thought I saw you in a crowd today
You looked right at me and just turned away, yeah
You looked right at me and just turned away
You looked right at me and just turned away
You looked right at me and just turned your head away

I remember the days we were young and alive
I remember the days we were young and alive, yeah
Taking drugs just to pass the time
You looked at me then and just drifted away
Yeah you looked at me, and just faded away
You looked at me then, and just drifted away
You looked at me then and slowly drifted away

Has anyone here seen my Brother Ray
I thought I saw you in a crowd today
Has anyone here seen my Brother Ray
I thought I saw you in a crowd today
You looked right at me and just turned away
You looked at me then, and just drifted away
Yeah you looked at me, and just faded away
You looked right at me and just turned your head away

Caned

Cane, cane
Tappin’ at my door
Cane, cane
Tapping at my door
Please God make it stop
Can’t see that blind man anymore

Roan, roan
I’m riding on a roan
Roan, roan
I’m riding on a roan, well
This horse is gonna save me, gonna
Carry me back home

Pain in my side
Pain in my heart
Pain in my head
Only one thing I can do

Roan, roan, get
Riding on that roan, ‘cause
That cane keeps on tappin’
Just won’t leave me alone

Loved Up Blues

I got a weakness, and
It’s killing me
There ain’t nothing I can do
I got a weakness, and
It’s killing me
There ain’t nothing I can do
I’m laid up, burning up
I got chills through and through
I got Loved Up Blues

I got a sickness
So they tell me
You can see it in my eyes
I got a sickness
People tell me
Can’t you see it in my eyes?
I got thoughts so vile and cruel
I feel that I could die
I got Loved Up Blues

Love so pure
Just like an angel stepped inside of me, and
There’s nothing I can do
Love so pure
Just like an angel stepped inside of me, and
There’s nothing I can do
I wish she’d stay a while, but
I guess that’s what they do
Leave you fucked up, with
The Loved Up Blues

Miss Emma Jane

Well miss Emma Jane
You know you make me feel so fine
Well miss Emma Jane
You know you make me feel so fine
I feel so good
Got me dreamin’ all the time

Oh Miss Emma Jane
You know I feel so safe and warm
Oh Miss Emma Jane
You know I feel so safe and warm
I tell you I believe
This is where I truly do belong

Well miss Emma Jane
Gonna make you my wife soon
Well miss Emma Jane
Gonna make you my wife soon
I had to beg to get you
I need you and I want you
Can’t stand to be without you
Gonna take you to my grave

I don’t know why
I can’t laugh, I can’t cry
I don’t feel the need to speak
I can feel you rushing from my head down to my feet

Oh Miss Emma Jane
Right or wrong you sing my favourite song
Right or wrong, my favourite song
Oh Miss Emma Jane
Right or wrong you sing my favourite song
You’re wearing me down
I was lost, but now I’m found

The North Kent Post Industrial Hillstomp Blues

Why must I holler?
Why must I raise a stink?
Just to get
That damn women to think

Why must I sweat?
Why must I break my back?
Just to keep
That damn women on track

Why must I rouster?
Why must I skulk and slink?
Hard work women
Drive any man to drink

Ain’t got no future
‘Cept with that women of mine
Just as well then
That damn women’s so fine

Take What’s Mine

Always someone watching me
Always something that I need
Gotta get me outta this place
Fingers scratching at my face

Gonna kiss goodbye to that crying sky
Chase the reaper through the meadows
‘Till it’s time to die
Tooth for a tooth
Eye for an eye
I’m gonna Take What’s Mine
Gonna Take What’s Mine

Sick to death of all this shame
I don’t want fortune
I don’t want fame
Slam my head against the wall
Everything or nothing at all

This hollow face
Testament and fact
I’ve been walking around, with a
Coffin on my back
The steel and pine, gonna
Set me free
Been dead for years, and it’s
Been killing me

I’ve got to keep on movin’
Blues falling down like hail
I’ve got to keep on movin’
Blues falling down like hail, and
These days keep on remindin’
There’s a Hellhound On My Trial

The Enemy

Somewhere in this world, I have an enemy
Somewhere in this world, I have an enemy
I don’t know his face, he’s a stranger to me

He could walk in to this room, while I’m sitting here
Playing my guitar
He could walk in to this room, while I’m sitting here
Playing my guitar
Greet me with a smile, shake my hand, still wouldn’t know
Who you are

I get a chill in the morning, and the fear evening falls
I get a chill in the morning, and the fear evening falls
I can’t get to sleep at night, those shadows moving on my wall

As the days roll by, all my hopes and dreams just
Turn to dust
As the days roll by, all my hopes and dreams just
Turn to dust
He occupies my mind, there’s not a soul that
I can trust

Now, I can’t leave this town
I can’t leave this house
I can’t leave this room
With paranoid suspicion
He’s watching every move

Oh Enemy, please let me be
Have mercy
I’ve paid my price, just
Leave me in peace
But, your vengeance is relentless, your
Haunting me will never cease

Now, he’s spreading vicious rumours, saying
I’m not fit to be alive
Now, he’s spreading vicious rumours, saying
I’m not fit to be alive
Well, put away your gun, I’ll come quietly
To weak to fight

I must have blood full of sin, to deserve
A fate like this
I must have blood full of sin, to deserve
A fate like this
He won’t be satisfied, ‘till he’s destroyed
Every seed of happiness

I got nowhere to run
No place left to hide
I got nowhere to run
No place left to hide
You never see me again
