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, it'll be alright
Don't cry sister cry, everything'll be just fine
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, it'll be alright, it'll be alright
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
Last Will And Testament lyrics - Eric Clapton
Well I met this woman, she was hard as nails
I think she'd just come out of the county jail
But I loaned her some money, just to pay her rent
If I would she would put me in her last will and testament
Well I got lots of children, an ex-wife or two
I never hear from them, 'till the bills are due
The money I gave 'em, they already spent
If I could just slip'em out, you've put me in that last will and testament
You know I'm going over sixty, I'm older than most
It won't be long now, I'll be nothing but a ghost
My intentions, it's my intent
To leave all of them people out of my last will and testament
And when it's all over, they put you in the ground
Send my belongings to the lost and found
My intention, it's my intent
To leave all of them people out of my last will and testament
Hey hey hey, hey
I think she'd just come out of the county jail
But I loaned her some money, just to pay her rent
If I would she would put me in her last will and testament
Well I got lots of children, an ex-wife or two
I never hear from them, 'till the bills are due
The money I gave 'em, they already spent
If I could just slip'em out, you've put me in that last will and testament
You know I'm going over sixty, I'm older than most
It won't be long now, I'll be nothing but a ghost
My intentions, it's my intent
To leave all of them people out of my last will and testament
And when it's all over, they put you in the ground
Send my belongings to the lost and found
My intention, it's my intent
To leave all of them people out of my last will and testament
Hey hey hey, hey
Who Am I Telling You lyrics - Eric Clapton
It don't take no fool to love you
You stand out in any crowd
And I know men who want to own you
I can hear them talking loud
There ain't no point in just me talking
Who am I telling you?
But you don't got yourself together
And you can bet whithin in you
I just realised
I just realised
Who am I telling you?
You never lose, you are a winner
It's a simple thing for you
If I'm standing at a crossroad
You know exactly what to do
From this moment on I loved you
Somewhere in between I learned
I'm just reaching out to touch you
It's the point of no return
I just realised
I just realised
And I just realised
Who am I, who am I, who am I telling you?
I just realised
I just realised
And I just realised
Who am I, who am I, who am I telling you?
You stand out in any crowd
And I know men who want to own you
I can hear them talking loud
There ain't no point in just me talking
Who am I telling you?
But you don't got yourself together
And you can bet whithin in you
I just realised
I just realised
Who am I telling you?
You never lose, you are a winner
It's a simple thing for you
If I'm standing at a crossroad
You know exactly what to do
From this moment on I loved you
Somewhere in between I learned
I'm just reaching out to touch you
It's the point of no return
I just realised
I just realised
And I just realised
Who am I, who am I, who am I telling you?
I just realised
I just realised
And I just realised
Who am I, who am I, who am I telling you?
Ride The River lyrics - Eric Clapton
Floatin' down that old river boy, all my worries far behind,
Floatin' down that old river boy, leave old memories way behind,
Yesterday is slowly fadin',
All my life, I've been waitin', for this time.

[Refrain:]
Ride the river in this boat, ride the river.
Ride the river in this boat, ride the river.

So Tired lyrics - Eric Clapton
Get up in the morning already yawning and I'm so tired
I Ain't had a wink of sleep seems like all week
We're So tired
The Baby's only feeding and one of them is teething
They're So tired
They get up before the dawn I don't know how we carry on
We're so tired
Thank God their mama is a natural
She knows exactly what to do
And as for me I think I'd go insane
I just wouldn't have a clue
You know we try to do our best
Just don't get no rest
We're so tired
Would do it all again you can bet your life my friend
But I'm So tired
Bomp ba da da da da da
We're So tired So Tired
Bomp ba da da da da da

Just can't wait til the sun goes down and all the kids have gone to bed
Trying to sleep you know but sleep won't come

And Now Mamas getting snappy

Say What You Will lyrics - Eric Clapton
Say what you will
Good love is hard to find
I've had my fill of the hurtin' kind
Take alot of money
To buy up all the pain
Take alot of honey
To fill me up and put me back
On my feet again
You've seen the worst
Still you find the best of me
My love was cursed
Loosin' destiny
Take alot of livin'
To dry up all the tears
Take alot of grinnin'
To cheer me up and put me back
On my feet again
You know I needed a friend
I could tell my troubles to
And you have been my friend
So I will give my love to you
Good love from me to you
Here it comes again
I feel I'm not good enough
Can't remember when
It ever felt so tough
Take alot huggin'
Drive away the fear
Take alot of lovin'
To pick me up and put me back
On my feet again
You know I needed a friend
I could tell my troubles to
And you have been my friend
So I will give my love to you
Good love from me to you
I know you needed a friend
You could tell your troubles to
And I'll be your friend
And I will give my love to you
Good love from me to you
Good love
Good love
Good love from me to you
Good love
Good love is hard to find
I've had my fill of the hurtin' kind
Take alot of money
To buy up all the pain
Take alot of honey
To fill me up and put me back
On my feet again
You've seen the worst
Still you find the best of me
My love was cursed
Loosin' destiny
Take alot of livin'
To dry up all the tears
Take alot of grinnin'
To cheer me up and put me back
On my feet again
You know I needed a friend
I could tell my troubles to
And you have been my friend
So I will give my love to you
Good love from me to you
Here it comes again
I feel I'm not good enough
Can't remember when
It ever felt so tough
Take alot huggin'
Drive away the fear
Take alot of lovin'
To pick me up and put me back
On my feet again
You know I needed a friend

Going Left lyrics - Eric Clapton
[Chorus:]
(Well) I'm goin' left
'Til you lead me to the right
Lead me to what is right
I'm goin' left
'Til you lead me to the right
Lead me to what is right
There's a train people say
I could ride to get my whole life straight
But the bridge on the way
Has a toll too much for me to pay
Yes I know it must be
What I chose could mean my destiny
Lights are green all is go
But my heart keeps telling my mind no
[Chorus]
There's a plane over there
Where all are given even share
What you get is so small
It's like never having nothing at all
Take my hand says a friend
A will stick with you until the end
But I'm in doubt I must decline
'Cause even friends can change their lines
[Chorus]
(Well) I'm goin' left
'Til you lead me to the right
Lead me to what is right
I'm goin' left
'Til you lead me to the right
Lead me to what is right
There's a train people say
I could ride to get my whole life straight
But the bridge on the way
Has a toll too much for me to pay
Yes I know it must be
What I chose could mean my destiny
Lights are green all is go
But my heart keeps telling my mind no
[Chorus]
There's a plane over there

Love Don't Love Nobody lyrics - Eric Clapton
(originally by The Spinners)
Sometimes a girl
Will come and go
You reach for love
But life wont let ya know
That in the end
Youll still be lovin her
But then shes gone
Youre all alone
Sign of pain
Is on my face, well
My hearbeat stops
But I wont take the blame, no no
I gave her all the love I had within
My love was strong
Somethin went wrong, no! no!
It takes a fool to learn
Yes sir
That love don't love nobody
Love love love love love love
It takes a fool to learn
Yes it does, girl
That love don't love no one
That love don't love no one
It takes a fool to learn
Stop to think about it, well
That love don't love nobody
Oh! Oh no!
It takes a fool to learn
When youre down and out, shout about it
That love don't love no more
Tell the world, oooh babe
No more...
Ohhhhhh, babe
It takes a fool to learn
Gotta be more careful about myself
That love don't love nobody
It takes a fool to learn
Woah baby, took me a long time to learn, to learn, well
That love don't love no one
It takes a fool to learn
I was a fool, you were a fool
That love don't love nobody
Now we got love, we need love
It takes a fool to learn
Sometimes a girl
Will come and go
You reach for love
But life wont let ya know
That in the end
Youll still be lovin her
But then shes gone
Youre all alone
Sign of pain
Is on my face, well
My hearbeat stops
But I wont take the blame, no no
I gave her all the love I had within
My love was strong
Somethin went wrong, no! no!
It takes a fool to learn
Yes sir
That love don't love nobody
Love love love love love love
It takes a fool to learn
Yes it does, girl
That love don't love no one
That love don't love no one
It takes a fool to learn
Stop to think about it, well
That love don't love nobody
Oh! Oh no!
It takes a fool to learn
When youre down and out, shout about it
That love don't love no more
Tell the world, oooh babe
No more...
Ohhhhhh, babe
It takes a fool to learn

That love don't love nobody
It takes a fool to learn
Woah baby, took me a long time to learn, to learn, well
That love don't love no one
It takes a fool to learn
I was a fool, you were a fool
That love don't love nobody
Now we got love, we need love
It takes a fool to learn

Lost And Found lyrics - Eric Clapton
Falling in the deep end
Stop messin' around
I cant keep from falling
When your not around
I cant no rest when you leave
Your love keeps me burnin'
You got me lost and found
And my world keeps turnin'
It's not the same
When your gone
Feel like I'm
Half of myself
Cause i need to have you around
I need to hear that sound
Of you creepin in the mornin'
I need to look in your eyes
When it keeps me learnin'
It's not the same
When your gone
Feel like I'm
Half of myself
Cause I cant keep my feet on the ground
You keep my lost and found
And girl it feels good
So, I want you to know
Im ready to let it show
That I'll be around
It's not the same
When your gone
Feel like I'm
Half of myself
It's not the same
When your gone
Feel like I'm
Half of a man
But, I cant keep my feet on the ground
You got me lost and found
And, girl, it feels good
So, I want you to know
I'm ready to let it show
That I'll be around
Cant keep my feet on the ground

Your love keeps me burnin'
You got me lost and found
And my world keeps turnin'
It's not the same
When your gone
Feel like I'm
Half of myself
Cause i need to have you around
I need to hear that sound
Of you creepin in the mornin'
I need to look in your eyes

Love Comes To Everyone lyrics - Eric Clapton
Go do it,
Got to go through that door,
There's no easy was out at all...
Still it only takes time
'Til love comes to everyone.
For you who it always seems blue
It all comes, it never rains
But it pours,
Still it only takes time...
'Til love comes to everyone.
There in your heart...
Something that's never changing;
Always a part of...
Something that's never ageing,
That's in your heart...
It's so true it can happen to you all; there,
Knock and it will open wide,
And it only takes time
'Til love comes to everyone.
Got to go through that door,
There's no easy was out at all...
Still it only takes time
'Til love comes to everyone.
For you who it always seems blue
It all comes, it never rains
But it pours,
Still it only takes time...
'Til love comes to everyone.
There in your heart...
Something that's never changing;
Always a part of...
Something that's never ageing,
That's in your heart...
It's so true it can happen to you all; there,
Knock and it will open wide,
And it only takes time
'Til love comes to everyone.
One Day lyrics - Eric Clapton
One day
I believe
One day
I can see
Baby
Out in the country, maybe down by the sea
Will I wake up one morning and find that I've been set free
One day
One day
Some day
I can't say how
Some day
But I don't know now
Maybe tomorrow when I'm old and gray
What I ever wanted will finally come my way
One day
One day
One day
This dream will come true
One day
Maybe you will too
Maybe flying high, maybe close to the ground
I will hear your voice and I'll know I've been found
Hold me tight, baby make me stay
I can hear every word you've been trying to say
One day
One day
I believe
One day
I can see
Baby
Out in the country, maybe down by the sea
Will I wake up one morning and find that I've been set free
One day
One day
Some day
I can't say how
Some day
But I don't know now
Maybe tomorrow when I'm old and gray
What I ever wanted will finally come my way
One day
One day
One day
This dream will come true
One day
Maybe you will too
Maybe flying high, maybe close to the ground
I will hear your voice and I'll know I've been found
Hold me tight, baby make me stay
I can hear every word you've been trying to say
One day
One day
One Track Mind lyrics - Eric Clapton
Tossing and turning
All night long
Down in my pillow
Felt so strong
Had to get up
And write this song
Baby where do we go from here?
Can't do anything to make you see
You've been your loving was made for me
What can I do
To make you see
That with you I can't go wrong
All I do is pray
That you will come my way
No doubt about it
I've got a one track mind
You took my breath so easily
And You touched my heart so carefully
And You give your love so tenderly
And You can't do nothing wrong
I got no time for no one else
And I got no love for no one else
Cause I don't believe in no one else
With you I do belong
[Chorus:]
As far as I can see
You're the one for me
No doubt about it
I've got a one track mind
[Chorus]
You take my breath so easily
And you took my heart so carefully
And you give your love so readily
And you can't do nothing wrong
[Chorus 2x and fade]
All night long
Down in my pillow
Felt so strong
Had to get up
And write this song
Baby where do we go from here?
Can't do anything to make you see
You've been your loving was made for me
What can I do
To make you see
That with you I can't go wrong
All I do is pray
That you will come my way
No doubt about it
I've got a one track mind
You took my breath so easily
And You touched my heart so carefully
And You give your love so tenderly
And You can't do nothing wrong
I got no time for no one else
And I got no love for no one else
Cause I don't believe in no one else
With you I do belong
[Chorus:]
As far as I can see
You're the one for me
No doubt about it
I've got a one track mind
[Chorus]
You take my breath so easily
And you took my heart so carefully
And you give your love so readily
And you can't do nothing wrong
[Chorus 2x and fade]
Run Home To Me lyrics - Eric Clapton
We went down to the seaside,
One cold frosty morning.
Just to go out for a drive,
For an hour or two.
I walked down to the water,
With my love and our baby.
Watched the waves breaking in,
We're enjoying the view.
Then I heard myself saying,
"We should do this more often,
To watch the little ones playing,
On that bright stony shore."
And I wished deep down in my heart,
That we could stay here forever.
In these sweet simple moments,
That will come back no more.
When it's 3 o'clock in the morning,
And something scared you from your breast,
I will gently rock you in my arms,
And lay your little head on my chest,
And when you run, from my arms,
Know we'll always find you.
And when you run, out of loving,
And run home to me. (Run home to me)
And the years fly by so quickly,
Like a plane before my eyes,
And you've grown up into a woman,
Before I had time, had time to realize.
And then you'll run, from my arms,
And we'll always come and find you.
And when you run, out of loving,
Then run home to me.
Lord when you run, run out of my arms,
We will always come and find you,
And when you run, out of loving,
Then run home to me. (Run home to me)
One cold frosty morning.
Just to go out for a drive,
For an hour or two.
I walked down to the water,
With my love and our baby.
Watched the waves breaking in,
We're enjoying the view.
Then I heard myself saying,
"We should do this more often,
To watch the little ones playing,
On that bright stony shore."
And I wished deep down in my heart,
That we could stay here forever.
In these sweet simple moments,
That will come back no more.
When it's 3 o'clock in the morning,
And something scared you from your breast,
I will gently rock you in my arms,
And lay your little head on my chest,
And when you run, from my arms,
Know we'll always find you.
And when you run, out of loving,
And run home to me. (Run home to me)
And the years fly by so quickly,
Like a plane before my eyes,
And you've grown up into a woman,
Before I had time, had time to realize.
And then you'll run, from my arms,
And we'll always come and find you.
And when you run, out of loving,
Then run home to me.
Lord when you run, run out of my arms,
We will always come and find you,
And when you run, out of loving,
Then run home to me. (Run home to me)
Back Home lyrics - Eric Clapton
I've been on the road too long
Moving in the wrong direction
I don't know where I belong
I don't know what I will do
If I can't get back home
Troubles I got on my rope
They don't fit no other person
The memories keep rollin' on
And I don't know what I will do
If I can't get back home
I don't fit but I don't give a damn
I won't quit 'cause I know who I am
And I'll admit and I've been on the left
Bit by bit, I'll review my plan
This is it, do the best I can
Trust and understand
'Cause I know that I am loved
'Cause I'll be on my way
Got no need to stay 'round here
'Cause I been on this road too long
Going in the wrong direction
And I don't know where I come from
All I know is I will die
If I don't get back home
Moving in the wrong direction
I don't know where I belong
I don't know what I will do
If I can't get back home
Troubles I got on my rope
They don't fit no other person
The memories keep rollin' on
And I don't know what I will do
If I can't get back home
I don't fit but I don't give a damn
I won't quit 'cause I know who I am
And I'll admit and I've been on the left
Bit by bit, I'll review my plan
This is it, do the best I can
Trust and understand
'Cause I know that I am loved
'Cause I'll be on my way
Got no need to stay 'round here
'Cause I been on this road too long
Going in the wrong direction
And I don't know where I come from
All I know is I will die
If I don't get back home
When You Got A Good Friend lyrics - Eric Clapton
When you got a good friend
That will stay right by your side,
When you got a good friend
That will stay right by your side,
Give her all your spare time,
Love and treat her right.
I mistreated my baby
And I can't see no reason why.
I mistreated my baby
And I can't see no reason why.
Any time I think about it
I just wring my hands and cry.
Wonder could I ever apologize
Or would she sympathize with me?
Would she sympathize with me?
She's a brown-skin woman,
Just as sweet as a girlfriend can be.
Babe, I may be right or wrong.
Babe, it's your opinion,
Well, I may be right or wrong.
Watch your close friend, baby,
Then your enemies can't do you no harm.
When you got a good friend
That will stay right by your side,
When you got a good friend
That will stay right by your side,
Give her all your spare time,
Love and treat her right.
That will stay right by your side,
When you got a good friend
That will stay right by your side,
Give her all your spare time,
Love and treat her right.
I mistreated my baby
And I can't see no reason why.
I mistreated my baby
And I can't see no reason why.
Any time I think about it
I just wring my hands and cry.
Wonder could I ever apologize
Or would she sympathize with me?
Would she sympathize with me?
She's a brown-skin woman,
Just as sweet as a girlfriend can be.
Babe, I may be right or wrong.
Babe, it's your opinion,
Well, I may be right or wrong.
Watch your close friend, baby,
Then your enemies can't do you no harm.
When you got a good friend
That will stay right by your side,
When you got a good friend
That will stay right by your side,
Give her all your spare time,
Love and treat her right.
Little Queen Of Spades lyrics - Eric Clapton
She is a little queen of spades
And the men will not let her be.
Said she is a little queen of spades
And the men will not let her be.
Everytime she make a spread,
Oh fair brown, cold chills run all over me.
Gonna get me a gambling woman
If it's the last thing that I do.
Gonna get me a gambling woman
If it's the last thing that I do.
A man don't need a woman,
Oh fair brown, that he got to give all of his money to.
Everybody said you got a mojo,
'Cause baby, you've been using that stuff.
Everybody said you got a mojo
Baby, you've been using that stuff.
Got a way trimming down,
Oh fair brown, and I mean it's most too tough.
Little girl, since I am the king,
Baby, and you is the queen,
Little girl, since I am the king,
Baby, and you is the queen,
Let us put our heads together,
Oh fair brown, and we can make our money green.
And the men will not let her be.
Said she is a little queen of spades
And the men will not let her be.
Everytime she make a spread,
Oh fair brown, cold chills run all over me.
Gonna get me a gambling woman
If it's the last thing that I do.
Gonna get me a gambling woman
If it's the last thing that I do.
A man don't need a woman,
Oh fair brown, that he got to give all of his money to.
Everybody said you got a mojo,
'Cause baby, you've been using that stuff.
Everybody said you got a mojo
Baby, you've been using that stuff.
Got a way trimming down,
Oh fair brown, and I mean it's most too tough.
Little girl, since I am the king,
Baby, and you is the queen,
Little girl, since I am the king,
Baby, and you is the queen,
Let us put our heads together,
Oh fair brown, and we can make our money green.

Me And The Devil Blues lyrics - Eric Clapton
Early this morning,
You knocked upon my door,
Early this morning,
You knocked upon my door,
And I said, "Hello, Satan,
I believe it's time to go."
Me and the devil
Were walking side by side.
Me and the devil
Were walking side by side.
I'm gonna beat my woman
Until I get satisfied.
She said she don't see why,
That I will dog her 'round.
(Now baby, you know you ain't doing me right.)
She said she don't see why, That I will dog her 'round.
Well, it must be that old evil spirit
So deep down in the ground.
You may bury my body
Down by the highway side.
(I don't care where you bury my body when I'm dead and gone.)
You may bury my body
Down by the highway side.
Oh, my old evil spirit
Can take a Greyhound bus and ride.
You knocked upon my door,
Early this morning,
You knocked upon my door,
And I said, "Hello, Satan,
I believe it's time to go."
Me and the devil
Were walking side by side.
Me and the devil
Were walking side by side.
I'm gonna beat my woman
Until I get satisfied.
She said she don't see why,
That I will dog her 'round.
(Now baby, you know you ain't doing me right.)
She said she don't see why, That I will dog her 'round.
Well, it must be that old evil spirit
So deep down in the ground.
You may bury my body
Down by the highway side.
(I don't care where you bury my body when I'm dead and gone.)
You may bury my body
Down by the highway side.
Oh, my old evil spirit
Can take a Greyhound bus and ride.
Traveling Riverside Blues lyrics - Eric Clapton
If your man gets personal,
Want you to have your fun.
If your man gets personal,
Want you to have your fun.
Well, come on back to Friar's Point, mama,
Barrelhouse all night long.
I got womens in Vicksburg,
Clean on into Tennessee.

But my Friar's Point rider, now,
Hops all over me.
I ain't gonna state no color but
Her front teeth is crowned with gold.
I ain't gonna state no color but
Her front teeth is crowned with gold.
She got a mortgage on my body, Lord,
A lien on my soul.
Well, I'm going down to Rosedale,
Rider by my side.
Lord, I'm going down to Rosedale,
Rider by my side.
Well, we can still barrelhouse, babe,
On the riverside.
You can squeeze my lemon till
Juice run down my leg.
You can squeeze my lemon till
Juice run down my leg.
That's what I'm talking about!
But I'll be going back to Friar's Point, mama,
Rocking to my head.
Want you to have your fun.
If your man gets personal,
Want you to have your fun.
Well, come on back to Friar's Point, mama,
Barrelhouse all night long.
I got womens in Vicksburg,
Clean on into Tennessee.

Every time I'm walking down the street,
Some pretty mama start breakin' down with me.
[Chorus:]
Stop breakin' down,
Please, stop breakin' down.
The stuff I got will bust your brains out, baby.

Now, you Saturday night women, you love to ape and clown.
Won't do nothing but tear a good man reputation down.

Milkcow's Calf Blues lyrics - Eric Clapton
Tell me, milk cow,

Now, you've left you a calf
And your milk is turning blue.
Lord, your calf is hungry
And I believe he needs a suck.
Lord, your calf is hungry,

Please, don't do me wrong.
If you see my milk cow, baby now,
Please drive her home.

Kindhearted Woman Blues lyrics - Eric Clapton
I got a kind-hearted woman,
Do anything in this world for me.
I got a kind-hearted woman,
Do anything in this world for me.
These evil-hearted women,
Man, they will not let me be.
I love my baby,
My baby don't love me.
I love my baby,
My baby don't love me.
Really love that woman,
Can't stand to leave her be.
Ain't but one thing makes Mr. Johnson drink.
Swear 'bout how you treat me, babe, I begin to think.
Oh babe, my life don't feel the same.
You break my heart when you call Mr. So-and-So's name.
I got a kind-hearted woman,
Studies evil all the time.
I got a kind-hearted woman,
Studies evil all the time.
You wish to kill me,
Just to have it on your mind.
Do anything in this world for me.
I got a kind-hearted woman,
Do anything in this world for me.
These evil-hearted women,
Man, they will not let me be.
I love my baby,

Really love that woman,
Can't stand to leave her be.

Come On In My Kitchen lyrics - Eric Clapton
[Chorus:]
You better come on
In my kitchen,
It's going to be rainin' outdoors.
The woman I love stole my best friend.
Some joker got lucky, stole her back again.
[Chorus]
Uh huh, she gone, know she won't come back.
I take the last nickel out of her nation sack.
[Chorus 2x]
When a woman get in trouble, everybody throws her down.
Looking for her good friend, they can't be found.
[Chorus]
Any time you've coming, it's gonna be so.
You can't make the winter, baby, just drive on slow.
[Chorus 2x]
You better come on
In my kitchen,
It's going to be rainin' outdoors.
The woman I love stole my best friend.
Some joker got lucky, stole her back again.
[Chorus]
Uh huh, she gone, know she won't come back.
I take the last nickel out of her nation sack.
[Chorus 2x]
When a woman get in trouble, everybody throws her down.
Looking for her good friend, they can't be found.
[Chorus]
Any time you've coming, it's gonna be so.
You can't make the winter, baby, just drive on slow.

If I Had Possession Over Judgement Day lyrics - Eric Clapton
If I had possession over judgment day,
If I had possession over judgment day,
Lord, the women I'm lovin' would have no right to pray.
And I went to the mountain, far as my eye could see.
Lord, I went to the mountain, far as my eye could see.
Some other man got my woman and the lonesome blues got me.
And I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long.
Lord, I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long.
And I woke up this morning, my biscuit rollin' on.
Had to fold my arms and slowly walked away.
(I didn't like the way she done.)
Lord, I fold my arms and I slowly walked away.
Well, I said in my mind, "Your trouble gonna come some day."
Well, now run here baby, get down on bended knee.
Lord, now run here baby, get down on bended knee.
I wanna tell you all about the way they treated me.
If I had possession over judgment day,
Lord, the women I'm lovin' would have no right to pray.
And I went to the mountain, far as my eye could see.
Lord, I went to the mountain, far as my eye could see.
Some other man got my woman and the lonesome blues got me.
And I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long.
Lord, I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long.
And I woke up this morning, my biscuit rollin' on.
Had to fold my arms and slowly walked away.
(I didn't like the way she done.)
Lord, I fold my arms and I slowly walked away.
Well, I said in my mind, "Your trouble gonna come some day."
Well, now run here baby, get down on bended knee.
Lord, now run here baby, get down on bended knee.
I wanna tell you all about the way they treated me.
Love In Vain lyrics - Eric Clapton
Well, I followed her to the station
With a suitcase in my hand.
Lord, I followed her to the station
With a suitcase in my hand.
Well, it's hard to tell, it's hard to tell,
When all your love's in vain.
All my love is in vain.
When the train pulled up to the station,
I looked her in the eye.
When the train pulled up to the station,
I looked her in the eye.
I was lonesome, I felt so lonesome,
And I could not help but cry.
All my love is in vain.
Well, the train it left the station
With two lights on behind.
Well, the train it left the station
With two lights on behind.
Well, the blue light was my blues,
The red light was my mind.
All my love is in vain.
Oh oh,
Oh, Willie Mae.
Oh oh oh oh oh,
Oh, Willie Mae.
Oh oh oh oh oh,
Oh vee oh woe.
All my love is in vain.
With a suitcase in my hand.
Lord, I followed her to the station
With a suitcase in my hand.
Well, it's hard to tell, it's hard to tell,
When all your love's in vain.
All my love is in vain.
When the train pulled up to the station,
I looked her in the eye.
When the train pulled up to the station,
I looked her in the eye.
I was lonesome, I felt so lonesome,
And I could not help but cry.
All my love is in vain.
Well, the train it left the station
With two lights on behind.
Well, the train it left the station
With two lights on behind.
Well, the blue light was my blues,
The red light was my mind.
All my love is in vain.
Oh oh,
Oh, Willie Mae.
Oh oh oh oh oh,
Oh, Willie Mae.
Oh oh oh oh oh,
Oh vee oh woe.
All my love is in vain.
32-20 Blues lyrics - Eric Clapton
If I send for my baby, man, and she don't come,
Send for my baby, man, and she don't come,
All the doctors in Hot Springs sure can't help her none.
If she gets unruly, thinks she don't wanna do,
She gets unruly, thinks she don't wanna do,
Take my 32-20, boy, cut her half in two.
She got a .38 special but I believe it's most too light.
.38 special but I believe it's most too light.
I got a 32-20 to make the camps all right.
If I send for my baby, man, and she don't come,
Send for my baby, man, and she don't come,
Them doctors in Hot Springs sure can't help her none.
Gonna shoot my pistol, gonna shoot my gatling gun.
Gonna shoot my pistol, gotta shoot my gatling gun.
You made me love you, now your man have come.
Ow, baby, where you stay last night?
Ow, baby, where'd you stay last night?
You got your hair all tangled and you ain't talking right.
Got a .38 special, boy, it do very well.
Got a .38 special and it do very well.
Got a 32-20 now, it's a burning hell.
If I send for my baby, man, and she don't come,
I send for my baby, man, and she don't come,
All the doctors in West Point sure can't help her none.
Ow, baby, where'd you stay last night?
Ow, baby, where'd you stay last night?
You didn't come home till the sun was shining bright.
Ow, boy, I just can't take my rest,
Ow, boy, I just can't take my rest,
With this 32-20 laying up and down my breast.
Send for my baby, man, and she don't come,
All the doctors in Hot Springs sure can't help her none.
If she gets unruly, thinks she don't wanna do,
She gets unruly, thinks she don't wanna do,
Take my 32-20, boy, cut her half in two.
She got a .38 special but I believe it's most too light.
.38 special but I believe it's most too light.
I got a 32-20 to make the camps all right.
If I send for my baby, man, and she don't come,
Send for my baby, man, and she don't come,
Them doctors in Hot Springs sure can't help her none.
Gonna shoot my pistol, gonna shoot my gatling gun.
Gonna shoot my pistol, gotta shoot my gatling gun.
You made me love you, now your man have come.
Ow, baby, where you stay last night?
Ow, baby, where'd you stay last night?
You got your hair all tangled and you ain't talking right.
Got a .38 special, boy, it do very well.
Got a .38 special and it do very well.
Got a 32-20 now, it's a burning hell.
If I send for my baby, man, and she don't come,
I send for my baby, man, and she don't come,
All the doctors in West Point sure can't help her none.
Ow, baby, where'd you stay last night?
Ow, baby, where'd you stay last night?
You didn't come home till the sun was shining bright.
Ow, boy, I just can't take my rest,
Ow, boy, I just can't take my rest,
With this 32-20 laying up and down my breast.
Hellhound On My Trail lyrics - Eric Clapton
I got to keep moving, I got to keep moving
Blues falling down like hail, blues falling down like hail
Mmm, blues falling down like hail, blues falling down like hail
And the day keeps on remindin' me, there's a hellhound on my trail
Hellhound on my trail, hellhound on my trail
If today was Christmas eve, if today was Christmas eve
And tomorrow was Christmas day
If today was Christmas eve and tomorrow was Christmas day
All I would need is my little sweet rider
Just to pass the time away, to pass the time away
You sprinkled hot foot powder, mmm, around my door
All around my door
You sprinkled hot foot powder, all around your daddy's door
It keeps me with ramblin' mind rider
Every old place I go, every old place I go
I can tell the wind is risin', the leaves tremblin' on the tree
Tremblin' on the tree
I can tell the wind is risin', leaves tremblin' on the tree
All I need is my little sweet woman
And to keep my company, hey, hey, hey, hey, my company
Blues falling down like hail, blues falling down like hail
Mmm, blues falling down like hail, blues falling down like hail
And the day keeps on remindin' me, there's a hellhound on my trail
Hellhound on my trail, hellhound on my trail
If today was Christmas eve, if today was Christmas eve
And tomorrow was Christmas day
If today was Christmas eve and tomorrow was Christmas day
All I would need is my little sweet rider
Just to pass the time away, to pass the time away
You sprinkled hot foot powder, mmm, around my door
All around my door
You sprinkled hot foot powder, all around your daddy's door
It keeps me with ramblin' mind rider
Every old place I go, every old place I go
I can tell the wind is risin', the leaves tremblin' on the tree
Tremblin' on the tree
I can tell the wind is risin', leaves tremblin' on the tree
All I need is my little sweet woman
And to keep my company, hey, hey, hey, hey, my company
Got You On My Mind lyrics - Eric Clapton
I've got you on my mind, I'm feeling kind of sad and low.
Got you on my mind, feeling kind of sad and low.
I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go.
[Chorus:]
Tears begin to fall every time I hear your name.
Tears begin to fall every time I hear your name.
But since you went away, nothing seems to be the same.
No matter how I try,
My heart just don't see why
I can't forget you.
If ever it should be
You want to come back to me,
You know I'd let you.
[Repeat First Verse]
[Chorus]
[Repeat First Verse]
I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go.

[Chorus:]
Tears begin to fall every time I hear your name.
Tears begin to fall every time I hear your name.
But since you went away, nothing seems to be the same.

My heart just don't see why
I can't forget you.
If ever it should be
You want to come back to me,
You know I'd let you.

Travelin' Light lyrics - Eric Clapton
Travelin' light is the only way to fly.
Travelin' light, just you and I.
A one way ticket to ecstasy,
Away on down, just follow me.
Travelin' light is the only way to fly.
Travelin' light, now we can catch the wind.
Travelin' light, just let your mind pretend.
We can go to paradise,
Maybe once, maybe twice.
Travelin' light is the only way to fly.
Travelin' light is the only way to fly.
Travelin' light, just you and I.
We can go to paradise,
Maybe once, maybe twice.
Travelin' light is the only way to fly.
Travelin' light, just you and I.
A one way ticket to ecstasy,
Away on down, just follow me.
Travelin' light is the only way to fly.
Travelin' light, now we can catch the wind.
Travelin' light, just let your mind pretend.
We can go to paradise,
Maybe once, maybe twice.
Travelin' light is the only way to fly.
Travelin' light is the only way to fly.
Travelin' light, just you and I.
We can go to paradise,
Maybe once, maybe twice.
Travelin' light is the only way to fly.
Believe In Life lyrics - Eric Clapton
When the world has seen the light
At the beginning of the day,
You will let me call your name,
'Cause I love you more than light,
And it will always be this way
As long as I believe in life.
When the morning comes too soon
And I am still without your love,
You will let me call your name,
'Cause I love you more than light,
And it will always be this way
As long as I believe in life.
Whatever happened to the girls I used to know?
Whatever happened to the places that we'd go?
When we were running in and out of time,
But all the time we still believed in life.
We were running in and out of time,
But still believed in life.
And when the day is almost done
And there is nothing left to say,
You will let me call your name,
'Cause I love you more than light,
And it will always be this way
As long as I believe in life.
Running in and out of time,
But still believed in life.
And when the day is almost done
And there is nothing left to say,
You will let me call your name,
'Cause I love you more than light,
And it will always be this way
As long as I believe,
As long as you believe,
As long as I believe that you believe, then I'll believe, I'll believe in life.
As long as I believe that you believe, then I'll believe, I'll believe in life.
Believe in life.
I believe in life.
I believe in life.
At the beginning of the day,
You will let me call your name,
'Cause I love you more than light,
And it will always be this way
As long as I believe in life.
When the morning comes too soon
And I am still without your love,
You will let me call your name,
'Cause I love you more than light,
And it will always be this way
As long as I believe in life.
Whatever happened to the girls I used to know?
Whatever happened to the places that we'd go?
When we were running in and out of time,
But all the time we still believed in life.
We were running in and out of time,
But still believed in life.
And when the day is almost done
And there is nothing left to say,
You will let me call your name,
'Cause I love you more than light,
And it will always be this way
As long as I believe in life.
Running in and out of time,
But still believed in life.
And when the day is almost done
And there is nothing left to say,
You will let me call your name,
'Cause I love you more than light,
And it will always be this way
As long as I believe,
As long as you believe,
As long as I believe that you believe, then I'll believe, I'll believe in life.
As long as I believe that you believe, then I'll believe, I'll believe in life.
Believe in life.
I believe in life.
I believe in life.

Broken Down lyrics - Eric Clapton
Everything was wonderful when you were in my life.
Yesterday we were on a roll, baby, then we end up in a fight.
Everywhere I look, I see problems, where I never seen before.
The cracks in the sidewalk, when I get home my key don't even fit the door.
[Chorus:]
The moon don't shine, it's broken down.
The clouds are crying, they're broken down.
The car won't start, it's broken down.
And this shattered heart, it's broken down.
My whole damn world, it's broken down.
Since you left me girl, I've broken down.
Stepped outside into the night, I took a walk around the block.
I stopped by the church that I used to go inside but even that door was locked.
So I came back home, feeling so alone, a light had burned out in the hall.
My TV is broke, said I'm out of smoke, there's no one I can even call.
[Chorus]
Said my whole damn world, it's broken down.
Since you left me girl, I've broken down.
Till you come back, come back to me, I'm going to be broken down.
Till you come back, come back to me, I'm going to be broken down.
[Chorus]
I mean my whole damn world, it's broken down.
Since you left me girl, I've broken down.
My whole damn world, it's broken down.
Since you left me girl, it's broken down.
Yesterday we were on a roll, baby, then we end up in a fight.
Everywhere I look, I see problems, where I never seen before.
The cracks in the sidewalk, when I get home my key don't even fit the door.
[Chorus:]
The moon don't shine, it's broken down.
The clouds are crying, they're broken down.
The car won't start, it's broken down.
And this shattered heart, it's broken down.
My whole damn world, it's broken down.
Since you left me girl, I've broken down.
Stepped outside into the night, I took a walk around the block.
I stopped by the church that I used to go inside but even that door was locked.
So I came back home, feeling so alone, a light had burned out in the hall.
My TV is broke, said I'm out of smoke, there's no one I can even call.
[Chorus]
Said my whole damn world, it's broken down.
Since you left me girl, I've broken down.
Till you come back, come back to me, I'm going to be broken down.
Till you come back, come back to me, I'm going to be broken down.
[Chorus]
I mean my whole damn world, it's broken down.
Since you left me girl, I've broken down.
My whole damn world, it's broken down.
Since you left me girl, it's broken down.
Find Myself lyrics - Eric Clapton
We took the long way home, you held my hand,
The days so full of all the things we had planned.
We walked beyond the green, beyond the day.
We shared a dream that I let slip away.
I had to find myself.
I had to find myself.
No use looking for no one else,
'Cause I'll be lonely till I find myself.
You were the man who knew too much to say.
So many things that I learned came your way.
These things I know that I can't forget,
Deep in my heart, they're a part of me yet.
They helped me find myself.
They helped me find myself.
No use looking for no one else,
'Cause I'll be lonely till I find myself.
Too many years rolled by without a word.
I tried to hide behind things that I'd heard.
And now the truth is clear for all to see
That through it all, it was you believed in me.
You helped me find myself.
I had to find myself.
No use looking for no one else,
'Cause I'll be lonely till I find myself.
I got to find myself.
I got to find myself.
No use looking for no one else,
'Cause I'll be lonely till I find myself.
The days so full of all the things we had planned.
We walked beyond the green, beyond the day.
We shared a dream that I let slip away.
I had to find myself.
I had to find myself.
No use looking for no one else,
'Cause I'll be lonely till I find myself.
You were the man who knew too much to say.
So many things that I learned came your way.
These things I know that I can't forget,
Deep in my heart, they're a part of me yet.
They helped me find myself.
They helped me find myself.
No use looking for no one else,
'Cause I'll be lonely till I find myself.
Too many years rolled by without a word.
I tried to hide behind things that I'd heard.
And now the truth is clear for all to see
That through it all, it was you believed in me.
You helped me find myself.
I had to find myself.
No use looking for no one else,
'Cause I'll be lonely till I find myself.
I got to find myself.
I got to find myself.
No use looking for no one else,
'Cause I'll be lonely till I find myself.
I Ain't Gonna Stand For It lyrics - Eric Clapton
I don't want to believe what they're telling me;
Somebody's been picking in my cherry tree.
I don't want to mistrust somebody by mistake.
Somebody's been digging 'round in my cake.
[Chorus:]
And I ain't gonna stand for it, baby.
I ain't gonna stand for it, baby.
I ain't gonna stand for it, baby, nah nah.
I ain't gonna stand for it, baby.
I ain't gonna stand for it, baby.
I ain't gonna stand for it, baby, nah nah, nah nah.
I don't want to believe what somebody said;
Somebody said somebody's shoe was under my bed.
I don't want to cause nobody no bodily harm.
Somebody's been rubbing on my good luck charm.
[Chorus]
Oh, my my my my my my.
Oh, my my my my my my.
Oh, my my my my my my.
Oh, my my my my my my.
[Chorus 2x]

I Want A Little Girl lyrics - Eric Clapton
I want a little girl, call my own.
She must be someone who's all alone now.
Say, I want a little girl to fall in love with me, oh yeah.
I want a little girl, but she may not look
Just like a picture in a story book.
If she can cook chicken, yeah, she'll suit me to a T.
And she don't have to wave her hair
Or even wear fancy clothes, I wouldn't even care.
She don't wear nylon hose, oh.
I want a little girl to love a lot.
You know that I'd give her everything I got.
I want a little girl to fall in love with me.
She must be someone who's all alone now.
Say, I want a little girl to fall in love with me, oh yeah.
I want a little girl, but she may not look
Just like a picture in a story book.
If she can cook chicken, yeah, she'll suit me to a T.
And she don't have to wave her hair
Or even wear fancy clothes, I wouldn't even care.
She don't wear nylon hose, oh.
I want a little girl to love a lot.
You know that I'd give her everything I got.
I want a little girl to fall in love with me.
Second Nature lyrics - Eric Clapton
You walk into the room, you know what's on my mind.
You know just how to reach me, baby, without even trying.
Don't need no one to tell me what this is leading to,
'Cause something deep inside of me is dragging me to you.
So roll the dice, baby, see what the future brings.
Sure feels like the right time for you to spread your wings.
Ain't no one but you, baby, ever stopped me in my tracks.
Once this thing gets rolling, darling, well there ain't no turning back.
[Chorus:]
Second nature, to look at what we've found.
Second nature, you know we're heaven bound.
No need to think about it, you know we're safe and sound.
Second nature for you to come around.
So take me to your heart, babe, and lead me to your door.
Take me in your arms, babe, never leave me any more.
Ain't no one like you, baby, to stop me in my tracks.
All I know for this old heart, well there ain't no turning back.
[Chorus]
You must have heard my call,
Like rain to a waterfall.
[Chorus 2x]
You know just how to reach me, baby, without even trying.
Don't need no one to tell me what this is leading to,
'Cause something deep inside of me is dragging me to you.
So roll the dice, baby, see what the future brings.
Sure feels like the right time for you to spread your wings.
Ain't no one but you, baby, ever stopped me in my tracks.

Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight lyrics - Eric Clapton
Do me wrong, do me right, do me right baby.
Tell me lies but hold, hold me tight.
Save your goodbyes till the morning light,
But don't let me be lonely tonight.
Say goodbye, woman say hello, say hello.
It's sure enough good to see you, but it's time to go,
And don't say yes, but please don't say no.
I don't want to be lonely tonight.
Go away then, damn you, go on and do as you please, do as you please,
But you ain't going to see me getting down on my knees,
'Cause I'm undecided and your heart's been divided.
You've been turning my world upside down.
Do me wrong, do me right, do me right baby.
Go on and tell me lies but hold, hold me tight.
And save your goodbyes till the morning light,
But don't let me be lonely tonight.
Save your goodbyes till the morning light,
But don't let me be lonely tonight.
'Cause I don't want to be lonely tonight.
I don't want to be lonely.
Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it.
Tell me lies but hold, hold me tight.
Save your goodbyes till the morning light,
But don't let me be lonely tonight.
Say goodbye, woman say hello, say hello.
It's sure enough good to see you, but it's time to go,
And don't say yes, but please don't say no.
I don't want to be lonely tonight.
Go away then, damn you, go on and do as you please, do as you please,
But you ain't going to see me getting down on my knees,
'Cause I'm undecided and your heart's been divided.
You've been turning my world upside down.
Do me wrong, do me right, do me right baby.
Go on and tell me lies but hold, hold me tight.
And save your goodbyes till the morning light,
But don't let me be lonely tonight.
Save your goodbyes till the morning light,

I don't want to be lonely.
Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it.
Modern Girl lyric - Eric Clapton
She's a modern girl in a modern world
Where only the strong can survive.
Too many dreams have been laid at her door,
But the modern girl will ride on, oh oh oh.
Where would you fit in the scheme of her day
And where could you fit in her heart?
Trying to be small will get you nowhere at all,
But the modern girl will ride on, oh oh oh.
[Chorus:]
Don't throw your love away.
Don't throw your love away.
Don't throw your love away.
Don't throw your love away.
She moves through your life like a warm summer breeze,
And nothing will stand in her way.
The sound of her voice brings your heart to its knees,
But the modern girl will ride on, oh oh oh.
[Chorus 2x]
Where only the strong can survive.
Too many dreams have been laid at her door,
But the modern girl will ride on, oh oh oh.
Where would you fit in the scheme of her day
And where could you fit in her heart?
Trying to be small will get you nowhere at all,
But the modern girl will ride on, oh oh oh.
[Chorus:]
Don't throw your love away.
Don't throw your love away.
Don't throw your love away.
Don't throw your love away.
She moves through your life like a warm summer breeze,
And nothing will stand in her way.
The sound of her voice brings your heart to its knees,
But the modern girl will ride on, oh oh oh.
[Chorus 2x]
Superman Inside lyrics - Eric Clapton
Living, loving, ain't going to waste my life.
Singing music, someday the sun don't shine.
I don't want to be the one,
The one that can never say,
"I need to let it out, won't you let me in."
Give it all up, surrender thankfully.
Fall down on my knees, my hands open wide.
I don't want to be the one,
The one that can never say,
"I need to let it out, won't you let me in."
[Chorus:]
Look in the mirror, even with a broken heart I'm fine.
Keep on pushing, getting closer to peace of mind.
Look in the mirror, even with a broken heart I'm fine.
Living is so sweet now with Superman inside.
No more running, ain't going to hide away.
I'm standing outside in the pouring rain.
'Cause I don't want to be the one,
The one that can never say,
"I need to let it out, won't you let me in."
[Chorus 2x]
Singing music, someday the sun don't shine.
I don't want to be the one,
The one that can never say,
"I need to let it out, won't you let me in."
Give it all up, surrender thankfully.
Fall down on my knees, my hands open wide.
I don't want to be the one,
The one that can never say,
"I need to let it out, won't you let me in."
[Chorus:]
Look in the mirror, even with a broken heart I'm fine.
Keep on pushing, getting closer to peace of mind.
Look in the mirror, even with a broken heart I'm fine.
Living is so sweet now with Superman inside.
No more running, ain't going to hide away.
I'm standing outside in the pouring rain.
'Cause I don't want to be the one,
The one that can never say,
"I need to let it out, won't you let me in."
[Chorus 2x]
Riding With The King lyrics - Eric Clapton
I dreamed I had a good job and I got well paid.
I blew it all at the penny arcade.
A hundred dollars on a kewpie doll.
No pretty chick is gonna make me crawl.
Get on a TWA to the promised land.
Every woman, child and man
Gets a Cadillac and a great big diamond ring.
Don't you know you're riding with the king?
He's on a mission of mercy to the new frontier,
He's gonna check us all on out of here.
Up to that mansion on a hill
Where you can get your prescription filled.
Get on a TWA to the promised land.
Everybody clap your hands.
And don't you just love the way that he sings?
Don't you know we're riding with the king?
Riding with the king.
Don't you know we're riding with the king?
A tuxedo and shiny 335.
You can see it in his face, the blue never lie.
Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings.
And don't you know we're riding with the king?
I stepped out of Mississippi when I was ten years old
With a suit cut sharp as a razor and a heart made of gold.
I had a guitar hanging just about waist high
And I'm gonna play this thing until the day I die.
Don't you know we're riding with the king?
Don't you know we're riding with the king?
Riding, you're riding with the king.
You're riding, you're riding with the king.
I blew it all at the penny arcade.
A hundred dollars on a kewpie doll.
No pretty chick is gonna make me crawl.
Get on a TWA to the promised land.
Every woman, child and man
Gets a Cadillac and a great big diamond ring.
Don't you know you're riding with the king?
He's on a mission of mercy to the new frontier,
He's gonna check us all on out of here.
Up to that mansion on a hill
Where you can get your prescription filled.
Get on a TWA to the promised land.
Everybody clap your hands.
And don't you just love the way that he sings?
Don't you know we're riding with the king?
Riding with the king.
Don't you know we're riding with the king?
A tuxedo and shiny 335.
You can see it in his face, the blue never lie.
Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings.
And don't you know we're riding with the king?
I stepped out of Mississippi when I was ten years old
With a suit cut sharp as a razor and a heart made of gold.
I had a guitar hanging just about waist high
And I'm gonna play this thing until the day I die.
Don't you know we're riding with the king?
Don't you know we're riding with the king?
Riding, you're riding with the king.
You're riding, you're riding with the king.
Ten Long Years lyrics - Eric Clapton
Well, I had a woman,
She was nice, kind and loving to me in every way.
Oh, I had a woman,
She was kind and loving to me in every way.
Oh, she used to love me
And bring my breakfast to the bed every day.
Oh, for ten long years,
She was my pride and joy.
Oh, for ten long years,
She was my pride and joy.
I used to call her my little girl.
Oh, she used to call me, she used to call me her little boy.
Oh, it's all over baby.
You know I'm all alone.
It's all over baby.
Babe you know I'm all alone.
Well, the reason you hear me singing the blues, baby,
Yeah, you know my baby's gone, she's gone, she's gone.
She was nice, kind and loving to me in every way.
Oh, I had a woman,
She was kind and loving to me in every way.
Oh, she used to love me
And bring my breakfast to the bed every day.
Oh, for ten long years,
She was my pride and joy.
Oh, for ten long years,
She was my pride and joy.
I used to call her my little girl.
Oh, she used to call me, she used to call me her little boy.
Oh, it's all over baby.
You know I'm all alone.
It's all over baby.
Babe you know I'm all alone.
Well, the reason you hear me singing the blues, baby,
Yeah, you know my baby's gone, she's gone, she's gone.
Key To The Highway lyrics - Eric Clapton
I got the key to the highway,
Billed out and bound to go.
I'm gonna leave here running;
Walking is most too slow.
I'm going back to the border
Woman, where I'm better known.
You know you haven't done nothing,
Drove a good man away from home.
[Live Verse]
When the moon peeks over the mountains
I'll be on my way.
I'm gonna roam this old highway
Until the break of day.
Oh give me one, one more kiss mama
Just before I go,
'Cause when I leave this time you know I,
I won't be back no more.
[Repeat First Verse]
[Repeat Second Verse]
Billed out and bound to go.
I'm gonna leave here running;
Walking is most too slow.
I'm going back to the border
Woman, where I'm better known.
You know you haven't done nothing,
Drove a good man away from home.
[Live Verse]
When the moon peeks over the mountains
I'll be on my way.
I'm gonna roam this old highway
Until the break of day.
Oh give me one, one more kiss mama
Just before I go,
'Cause when I leave this time you know I,
I won't be back no more.

Three O' Clock Blues lyrics - Eric Clapton
Well now, it's three o'clock in the morning
And I can't even close my eyes.
Three o'clock in the morning
And I can't even close my eyes.
Can't find my baby
And I can't be satisfied.
I've looked all around me
And my baby, she can't be found.
I've looked all around me, people,
And my baby, she can't be found.

People, I'm going down to the golden ground.
Goodbye everybody,
I believe this is the end.
Oh, goodbye everybody,
I believe this is the end.
I want you to tell my baby,
Tell her please, please forgive me,
Forgive me for my sins.
And I can't even close my eyes.

Need it desperately.
I need you so much, I need your care,
Need all the loving, baby, you can spare.

I Wanna Be lyrics - Eric Clapton
I wander helplessly day by day.
It's so much easier to run away.
My mind is spent, my body sold,
Never knowing which way to go
I'm always there for you baby,
Won't you let me see
If we can get closer.
Every day,
[Chorus:]
I wanna be felt by you.
I wanna be touched by you.
I wanna be loved by you.
I wanna be anything you want me to.
Don't mean nothing when you're growing old.
Nobody knows what the future holds.
I am left with a bitter taste,
Torn away from that beautiful chase.
I'm always there for you baby,
Won't you let me see
If we can get closer.
Every day,
[Chorus 3x]
It's so much easier to run away.
My mind is spent, my body sold,
Never knowing which way to go
I'm always there for you baby,
Won't you let me see
If we can get closer.
Every day,
[Chorus:]
I wanna be felt by you.
I wanna be touched by you.
I wanna be loved by you.
I wanna be anything you want me to.
Don't mean nothing when you're growing old.
Nobody knows what the future holds.
I am left with a bitter taste,
Torn away from that beautiful chase.
I'm always there for you baby,
Won't you let me see
If we can get closer.
Every day,
[Chorus 3x]

Days Of Old lyrics - Eric Clapton
Way back yonder in the days of old,
The men was working but not saving any dough.
Then came a woman looking real cool.
She said to herself, "Now that's my fool."
[Chorus:]
I'm gonna ball tonight.
I'm gonna ball tonight.
Well, I can't break the rule because
Every man is some woman's fool.
Met a girl on the avenue,
She was shy and I was blue,
Like a teacher and a student in school,
Looked at me and said, "You're my fool."
[Chorus]
[Repeat First Verse]
[Chorus]
We're gonna ball tonight.
We're gonna ball tonight.

When My Heart Beats Like A Hammer lyrics - Eric Clapton
When my heart starts beating like a hammer
And my eyes get full of tears,
Oh, when my heart starts beating like a hammer
And my eyes get full of tears,
You know you've only been gone 24 hours, baby,
Oh, but it seems like, it seems like a million years.
Now if I ever mistreated you baby,
You know I didn't mean no harm.
Oh, if I ever mistreated you baby,
God knows I didn't mean no harm.
You know, I'm just a little country boy, baby,
And I was raised right down on the cotton farm.
Oh, you give me so much trouble, baby,
Babe, that I don't know what to do.
Oh, you give me so much trouble, baby,
Baby, I don't know, I don't know what to do.
Oh, I ain't got nothing, I ain't got nothing now, baby,
Babe, and it's all on, it's all on account of you.
And my eyes get full of tears,
Oh, when my heart starts beating like a hammer
And my eyes get full of tears,
You know you've only been gone 24 hours, baby,
Oh, but it seems like, it seems like a million years.

In a river of trouble, about to drown.

Come Rain Or Come Shine lyrics - Eric Clapton
I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you,
Come rain or come shine.
High as a mountain and deep as a river,
Come rain or come shine.
Well I guess when you met me
That it was just one of those things,
But don't you ever bet me,
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me.
You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me,
Come rain or come shine.

I'm with you rain or shine.

My Father's Eyes lyrics - Eric Clapton
Sailing down behind the sun,
Waiting for my prince to come.
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again.
Just a toerag on the run.
How did I get here?
What have I done?
When will all my hopes arise?
How will I know him?
When I look in my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
When I look in my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
Then the light begins to shine
And I hear those ancient lullabies.
And as I watch this seedling grow,
Feel my heart start to overflow.
Where do I find the words to say?
How do I teach him?
What do we play?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That's when I need them,
That's when I need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
That's when I need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
Then the jagged edge appears
Through the distant clouds of tears.
I'm like a bridge that was washed away;
My foundations were made of clay.
As my soul slides down to die.
How could I lose him?
What did I try?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That he was here with me;
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
Waiting for my prince to come.
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again.
Just a toerag on the run.
How did I get here?
What have I done?
When will all my hopes arise?
How will I know him?
When I look in my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
When I look in my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
Then the light begins to shine
And I hear those ancient lullabies.
And as I watch this seedling grow,
Feel my heart start to overflow.
Where do I find the words to say?
How do I teach him?
What do we play?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That's when I need them,
That's when I need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
That's when I need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
Then the jagged edge appears
Through the distant clouds of tears.
I'm like a bridge that was washed away;
My foundations were made of clay.
As my soul slides down to die.
How could I lose him?
What did I try?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That he was here with me;
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
River Of Tears lyrics - Eric Clapton
It's three miles to the river
That would carry me away,
And two miles to the dusty street
That I saw you on today.
It's four miles to my lonely room
Where I will hide my face,
And about half a mile to the downtown bar
That I ran from in disgrace.
Lord, how long have I got to keep on running,
Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
All I know is, since you've been gone
I feel like I'm drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feel like I'm drowning,
Drowning in a river.
In three more days, I'll leave this town
And disappear without a trace.
A year from now, maybe settle down
Where no one knows my face.
I wish that I could hold you
One more time to ease the pain,
But my time's run out and I got to go,
Got to run away again.
Still I catch myself thinking,
One day I'll find my way back here.
You'll save me from drowning,
Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feels like I'm drowning,
Drowning in the river.
Lord, how long must this go on?
Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
That would carry me away,
And two miles to the dusty street
That I saw you on today.
It's four miles to my lonely room
Where I will hide my face,
And about half a mile to the downtown bar
That I ran from in disgrace.
Lord, how long have I got to keep on running,
Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
All I know is, since you've been gone
I feel like I'm drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feel like I'm drowning,
Drowning in a river.
In three more days, I'll leave this town
And disappear without a trace.
A year from now, maybe settle down
Where no one knows my face.
I wish that I could hold you
One more time to ease the pain,
But my time's run out and I got to go,
Got to run away again.
Still I catch myself thinking,
One day I'll find my way back here.
You'll save me from drowning,
Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feels like I'm drowning,
Drowning in the river.
Lord, how long must this go on?
Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
Pilgrim lyrics - Eric Clapton
And how do I choose and where do I draw the line
Between truth and necessary pain?
And how do I know and where do I get my belief
That things will be all right again?
What words do I use to try and explain
To those who've witnessed all my tears?
And what does it mean to know all these things
When love's been wasted all these years,
When love's been wasted all these years.
Standing in the shadows
With my heart right in my hand,
Removed from all the people
Who could never understand.
[Chorus:]
I was a pilgrim for your love,
A pilgrim for your love.
I was a pilgrim for your love,
A pilgrim for your love.
It's like living in a nightmare,
Like looking in the blackest hole,
Like standing on the edge of nothing,
Completly out of control.
Now where have I been all these years
And how come I just couldn't see?
Like a blind man walking 'round in darkness,
I was a pilgrim for your love,
I was a pilgrim for your love.
[Bridge 2x]
[Chorus 2x]
Between truth and necessary pain?
And how do I know and where do I get my belief
That things will be all right again?
What words do I use to try and explain
To those who've witnessed all my tears?
And what does it mean to know all these things
When love's been wasted all these years,
When love's been wasted all these years.
Standing in the shadows
With my heart right in my hand,
Removed from all the people
Who could never understand.
[Chorus:]
I was a pilgrim for your love,
A pilgrim for your love.
I was a pilgrim for your love,
A pilgrim for your love.
It's like living in a nightmare,
Like looking in the blackest hole,
Like standing on the edge of nothing,
Completly out of control.
Now where have I been all these years
And how come I just couldn't see?
Like a blind man walking 'round in darkness,
I was a pilgrim for your love,
I was a pilgrim for your love.
[Bridge 2x]
[Chorus 2x]
Broken Hearted lyrics - Eric Clapton
When the wind blows down this hard,
Many a bond is broken.
See the water lie on the ground
From where the heavens opened.
Lord, how will you get through this night
With your dreams departed?
And who alone will comfort you?
Only the broken hearted.
So you've gone beyond your means,
Every wound is open,
Your best laid plans are out of reach,
And all your fears unspoken.
[Repeat First Chorus]
Sweet revenge is spoken then;
In the twilight it is gone.
To living lies with no escape,
Lord, I would rather be alone.
I press my fingers to the wood
To tell you of my dreaming,
To sing you songs from olden times,
To keep the love light gleaming.
'Cause there's a place where we can go,
Where we will not be parted.
And who alone will enter there?
Only the broken hearted.
Only the broken, broken hearted.
Only the broken, broken hearted.
Only the broken, broken hearted.
Only the broken, broken hearted.
Many a bond is broken.
See the water lie on the ground
From where the heavens opened.
Lord, how will you get through this night
With your dreams departed?
And who alone will comfort you?
Only the broken hearted.
So you've gone beyond your means,
Every wound is open,
Your best laid plans are out of reach,
And all your fears unspoken.
[Repeat First Chorus]
Sweet revenge is spoken then;
In the twilight it is gone.
To living lies with no escape,
Lord, I would rather be alone.
I press my fingers to the wood
To tell you of my dreaming,
To sing you songs from olden times,
To keep the love light gleaming.
'Cause there's a place where we can go,
Where we will not be parted.
And who alone will enter there?
Only the broken hearted.
Only the broken, broken hearted.
Only the broken, broken hearted.
Only the broken, broken hearted.
Only the broken, broken hearted.
One Chance lyrics - Eric Clapton
Without wishing to cause you any pain,
I got to push on through, babe,
And if I take the chance of seeing you again,
I just don't know what I would do, baby.
And sometimes I think I'm gonna be just fine;
All I got to do is go through it, babe.
Then I hear those voices in the back of my mind,
Telling me over and over and over that I blew it babe.
[Chorus:]
You had one chance and you blew it.
You may never get another chance.
You had the floor and you knew it.
You can't blame it on your circumstance.
At the risk of causing you a little pain,
I'm going to have to forget you, babe,
'Cause you broke my heart, left it out in the rain
And you'd do the same again if I let you, babe.
I would give anything to hold you in my arms,
But you know I can't do that, baby.
I guess I'll have to live with the choice that I have made
Even though deep down I still suspect that I blew it.
[Chorus 4x]
I got to push on through, babe,
And if I take the chance of seeing you again,
I just don't know what I would do, baby.
And sometimes I think I'm gonna be just fine;
All I got to do is go through it, babe.
Then I hear those voices in the back of my mind,
Telling me over and over and over that I blew it babe.
[Chorus:]
You had one chance and you blew it.
You may never get another chance.
You had the floor and you knew it.
You can't blame it on your circumstance.
At the risk of causing you a little pain,
I'm going to have to forget you, babe,
'Cause you broke my heart, left it out in the rain
And you'd do the same again if I let you, babe.
I would give anything to hold you in my arms,
But you know I can't do that, baby.
I guess I'll have to live with the choice that I have made
Even though deep down I still suspect that I blew it.
[Chorus 4x]
Circus lyrics - Eric Clapton
Little man with his eyes on fire
And his smile so bright.
In his hands are the toys you gave
To fill his heart with delight.
And in the ring stands a circus clown
Holding up a knife.
What you see and what you will hear
Will last you for the rest of your life.
[Chorus:]
And it's sad, so sad,
There ain't no easy way round.
And it's sad, so sad,
All you friends gather round
'Cause the circus left town.
Little man with his heart so pure
And his love so fine.
Stick with me and I'll ride with you
Till the end of the line.
Hold my hand and I'll walk with you
Through the darkest night.
And when I smile I'll be thinking of you
And every little thing will be all right.
[Chorus 2x]
The circus left town, left town.
The circus left town, left town.
And his smile so bright.
In his hands are the toys you gave
To fill his heart with delight.
And in the ring stands a circus clown
Holding up a knife.
What you see and what you will hear
Will last you for the rest of your life.
[Chorus:]
And it's sad, so sad,
There ain't no easy way round.
And it's sad, so sad,
All you friends gather round
'Cause the circus left town.
Little man with his heart so pure
And his love so fine.
Stick with me and I'll ride with you
Till the end of the line.
Hold my hand and I'll walk with you
Through the darkest night.
And when I smile I'll be thinking of you
And every little thing will be all right.
[Chorus 2x]
The circus left town, left town.
The circus left town, left town.
Going Down Slow lyrics - Eric Clapton
I have had my fun if I never get well no more.
I have had my fun if I never get well no more.
All of my health is failing;
Lord, I'm going down slow,
I'm going down slow.
Please write my mother and tell her the shape I'm in.

On the next train south, look for my clothes back home.

I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow.

Fall Like Rain lyrics - Eric Clapton
Tell me why did I fall in love with you?
Tell me why did I fall in love with you?
Tore me all to pieces, cut me half in two.
Tell me why did I fall in love with you?
Tell me why do my tears fall like rain?
Tell me why do my tears fall like rain?
Tore me all to pieces, nothing else remains.
Tell me why do my tears fall like rain?

Born In Time lyrics - Eric Clapton
In the lonely night,
In the stardust of a pale moonlight,
I think of you in black and white
When we were made of dreams.
I walked alone through the shaky streets,
Listening to my heart beat
In the record-breaking heat
When we were born in time.
Just when I thought you were gone, you came back
Just when I was ready to receive you.
You were smooth, you were rough,
You were more than enough.
Ah babe, why did I ever leave you
Or believe you?
In the rising curve,
Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,
I took you close and got what I deserve
When we were born in time.
Just when I knew who to thank, you went blank
Just as the firelight was gleaming.
You were snow, you were rain,
You were stripes and you were plain.
Oh babe, can it be you've been scheming
Or was I dreaming?
In the hills of mystery,
In the foggy web of destiny,
You're still so deep inside of me
When we were born in time.
In the stardust of a pale moonlight,
I think of you in black and white
When we were made of dreams.
I walked alone through the shaky streets,
Listening to my heart beat
In the record-breaking heat
When we were born in time.
Just when I thought you were gone, you came back
Just when I was ready to receive you.
You were smooth, you were rough,
You were more than enough.
Ah babe, why did I ever leave you
Or believe you?
In the rising curve,
Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,
I took you close and got what I deserve
When we were born in time.
Just when I knew who to thank, you went blank
Just as the firelight was gleaming.
You were snow, you were rain,
You were stripes and you were plain.
Oh babe, can it be you've been scheming
Or was I dreaming?
In the hills of mystery,
In the foggy web of destiny,
You're still so deep inside of me
When we were born in time.
Sick And Tired lyrics - Eric Clapton
I'm gonna buy me a parrot, baby,
And teach him how to call my name.
I'm gonna buy me a parrot, baby,
And teach him how to call my name.
Then I won't have to miss you baby
And I won't have you driving me insane.
I was in love with you, baby,
Till the day you brought me down so low.
I was in love with you, baby,
Till the day you brought me down so low.
You had me walking 'round in circles, baby;
I didn't know which way to go.
Oh, I'm so sick and tired baby,
I'm sick and tired of the way you carry on.
Lord, I'm sick and tired, baby,
Sick and tired of the way you carry on.
You can pack up all of your things, baby;
Hit the road, get out of here, be gone.
Now I'm gonna get me a shotgun, baby,
Keep it stashed behind the door.
I'm gonna get me a shotgun, baby,
Keep it stashed behind the bedroom door.
I may have to blow your brains out, baby,
Then you won't bother me no more.
And teach him how to call my name.
I'm gonna buy me a parrot, baby,
And teach him how to call my name.
Then I won't have to miss you baby
And I won't have you driving me insane.
I was in love with you, baby,
Till the day you brought me down so low.
I was in love with you, baby,
Till the day you brought me down so low.
You had me walking 'round in circles, baby;
I didn't know which way to go.
Oh, I'm so sick and tired baby,
I'm sick and tired of the way you carry on.
Lord, I'm sick and tired, baby,
Sick and tired of the way you carry on.
You can pack up all of your things, baby;
Hit the road, get out of here, be gone.
Now I'm gonna get me a shotgun, baby,
Keep it stashed behind the door.
I'm gonna get me a shotgun, baby,
Keep it stashed behind the bedroom door.
I may have to blow your brains out, baby,
Then you won't bother me no more.
Needs His Woman lyrics - Eric Clapton
You left him standing in the pouring rain.
There's every chance he'll go insane.
And someone comes along and takes his hand.
He must have love, can't you understand that...
[Chorus:]
He needs his woman,
He needs his woman,
And he needs his woman,
He needs his woman to love.
His hands are shaking and his head hangs down.
No peace of mind for him is found.
Break his heart and then you'll set him free.
Someone must save him, just you wait and see, but...
[Chorus]
What will it take till you believe his love is real?
Nobody said he had to love you, now he always will.
He'll walk that lonely road again today.
The love he gave you, you threw away.
When all he wanted was a hand to hold.
His lonely world has grown so cold and...
[Chorus 2x]
There's every chance he'll go insane.
And someone comes along and takes his hand.
He must have love, can't you understand that...
[Chorus:]
He needs his woman,
He needs his woman,
And he needs his woman,
He needs his woman to love.
His hands are shaking and his head hangs down.
No peace of mind for him is found.
Break his heart and then you'll set him free.
Someone must save him, just you wait and see, but...
[Chorus]
What will it take till you believe his love is real?
Nobody said he had to love you, now he always will.
He'll walk that lonely road again today.
The love he gave you, you threw away.
When all he wanted was a hand to hold.
His lonely world has grown so cold and...
[Chorus 2x]
She's Gone lyrics - Eric Clapton
In the middle of the night, in the middle of the day,
She can make me feel all right and make it all okay.
She can make me feel so good by looking in my eye.
She can take me to the edge, take me to the sky.
[Chorus:]
She's gone, she's gone, she's gone.
I'm telling you she's gone.
She put her hands in my hair, put her kiss on my face.
She puts my heart in my mouth, my soul in its place.
Who could love me like she do? Who could even start to try?
She can love me more than you; I never wonder why.
[Chorus 2x]
Like a shadow in the dark, like a ripple on a stream,
I see her float across my mind like a picture in a dream.
And the more that I know, seems the more that I care.
Give the world and all I own just to know that she's still there.
Like a shadow in the dark, like a ripple in a stream,
But you're floating on my mind.
[Chorus 2x]
She can make me feel all right and make it all okay.
She can make me feel so good by looking in my eye.
She can take me to the edge, take me to the sky.
[Chorus:]
She's gone, she's gone, she's gone.
I'm telling you she's gone.
She put her hands in my hair, put her kiss on my face.
She puts my heart in my mouth, my soul in its place.
Who could love me like she do? Who could even start to try?
She can love me more than you; I never wonder why.
[Chorus 2x]
Like a shadow in the dark, like a ripple on a stream,
I see her float across my mind like a picture in a dream.
And the more that I know, seems the more that I care.
Give the world and all I own just to know that she's still there.
Like a shadow in the dark, like a ripple in a stream,
But you're floating on my mind.
[Chorus 2x]
You Were There lyrics - Eric Clapton
We made the distance,
Yeah, we made the day.
You made all the difference
'Cause you found the way.
Without your wisdom
Lord, where would we be
Lost in the wilderness,
Somewhere out at sea.
But you were there
Through the days of wine and madness,
When I'd always put you down.
You were there
Through my joys and my sadness
And you never let me down.
You found the meaning
And helped me to see
Where I was going to
All that I could be.
Without permission
You turned the key.
You climbed the prison wall
Deep inside of me.
You were there
Through the days of wine and madness
When I'd turn and put, put you down.
You were there
Through my joys and my sadness
And you never let me down.
You were there
Through the days of wine and madness
When I'd turn and put, put you down.
You were there
Through my joys and my sadness
And you never let me down.
Let me down.
You were there.
You were there.
You were there.
Yeah, we made the day.
You made all the difference
'Cause you found the way.
Without your wisdom
Lord, where would we be
Lost in the wilderness,
Somewhere out at sea.
But you were there
Through the days of wine and madness,
When I'd always put you down.
You were there
Through my joys and my sadness
And you never let me down.
You found the meaning
And helped me to see
Where I was going to
All that I could be.
Without permission
You turned the key.
You climbed the prison wall
Deep inside of me.
You were there
Through the days of wine and madness
When I'd turn and put, put you down.
You were there
Through my joys and my sadness
And you never let me down.
You were there
Through the days of wine and madness
When I'd turn and put, put you down.
You were there
Through my joys and my sadness
And you never let me down.
Let me down.
You were there.
You were there.
You were there.
Inside Of Me lyrics - Eric Clapton
The point on the water, there's a change in the air,
A vibe in the darkness but there's nobody there.
I look for the reason but there's nothing to see,
Just a hole in my memory where my mind used to be.
[Chorus:]
Tell me why
Can I find no relief in my heart.
I reside
In a world that has fallen apart.
Out of my mind, baby, show me a sign, baby,
Show me a way to get back on time, please.
Where do we go, baby, how will I know?
Who holds the key, is it hidden inside of me?
But why should I worry and why do I care
When this road that I walk on is going nowhere.
I stand and I study every face in the crowd,
See the fear in their eyes, they must be thinking out loud.
[Chorus]
Scratching the surface, it all looks the same;
A world full of anger with no one to blame.
But who can I turn to? Who holds the key?
And who has the answer? I think it's inside of me.
[Chorus 2x]
A vibe in the darkness but there's nobody there.
I look for the reason but there's nothing to see,
Just a hole in my memory where my mind used to be.
[Chorus:]
Tell me why
Can I find no relief in my heart.
I reside
In a world that has fallen apart.
Out of my mind, baby, show me a sign, baby,
Show me a way to get back on time, please.
Where do we go, baby, how will I know?
Who holds the key, is it hidden inside of me?
But why should I worry and why do I care
When this road that I walk on is going nowhere.
I stand and I study every face in the crowd,
See the fear in their eyes, they must be thinking out loud.
[Chorus]
Scratching the surface, it all looks the same;
A world full of anger with no one to blame.
But who can I turn to? Who holds the key?
And who has the answer? I think it's inside of me.
[Chorus 2x]
Blues Before Sunrise lyrics - Eric Clapton
I have the blues before sunrise,
Tears standing in my eyes.
I have the blues before sunrise,
Tears standing in my eyes.
It was a miserable feeling, now babe,
A feeling I do despise.
I have to leave, leave you baby,
Because you know you done me wrong.
I have to leave you baby,
Because you know you done me wrong.
I'm gonna pack up and leave you darling
And break up my happy home.
I have to leave, leave you baby,
I'm gonna leave you all alone.
I'm gonna leave you baby,
I'm gonna leave you all alone.
I'm gonna pack up and leave you darling
Because you know you done me wrong.
Well now goodbye, goodbye baby,
I'll see you on some rainy day.
Well now goodbye baby,
I'll see you on some rainy day.
You can go ahead now little darling,
'Cause I want you to have your way.
Tears standing in my eyes.
I have the blues before sunrise,
Tears standing in my eyes.
It was a miserable feeling, now babe,
A feeling I do despise.
I have to leave, leave you baby,
Because you know you done me wrong.
I have to leave you baby,
Because you know you done me wrong.
I'm gonna pack up and leave you darling
And break up my happy home.
I have to leave, leave you baby,
I'm gonna leave you all alone.
I'm gonna leave you baby,
I'm gonna leave you all alone.
I'm gonna pack up and leave you darling
Because you know you done me wrong.
Well now goodbye, goodbye baby,

Well now goodbye baby,
I'll see you on some rainy day.
You can go ahead now little darling,
'Cause I want you to have your way.
Third Degree lyrics - Eric Clapton
Got me accused of peeping,
I can't see a thing.
Got me accused of petting,
I can't even raise my hand.
[Chorus:]
Bad luck,
Bad luck is killing me.
Well I just can't stand no more of this third degree.
Got me accused of murder,
I ain't harmed a man.
Got me accused of forgery,
I can't even write my name.
[Chorus]
Got me accused of taxes,
I ain't got a dime.
Got me accused of children
And ain't nary one of them was mine.
[Chorus]
I can't see a thing.
Got me accused of petting,
I can't even raise my hand.
[Chorus:]
Bad luck,
Bad luck is killing me.
Well I just can't stand no more of this third degree.
Got me accused of murder,
I ain't harmed a man.
Got me accused of forgery,
I can't even write my name.
[Chorus]
Got me accused of taxes,
I ain't got a dime.
Got me accused of children
And ain't nary one of them was mine.

Reconsider Baby lyrics - Eric Clapton
So long,
Oh I hate to see you go.
So long,
Oh I hate to see you go.
And the way that I will miss you,
I guess you will never know.
We've been together so long
To have to separate this way.
We've been together so long
To have to separate this way.
I'm gonna let you go ahead on now baby,
Pray that you'll come back home someday.
You said you once had loved me,
But now I guess you've changed your mind.
You said you once had loved me,
But now I guess you've changed your mind.
Why don't you reconsider baby?
Give yourself just a little more time.

And the way that I will miss you,
I guess you will never know.
We've been together so long
To have to separate this way.
We've been together so long
To have to separate this way.
I'm gonna let you go ahead on now baby,
Pray that you'll come back home someday.
You said you once had loved me,

You said you once had loved me,
But now I guess you've changed your mind.
Why don't you reconsider baby?
Give yourself just a little more time.

Five Long Years lyrics - Eric Clapton
Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about.
Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about.
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve to put me out.
I got a job in a steel mill, shucking steel like a slave.
Five long years, every Friday I come straight back home with all my pay.
Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about.
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve to put me out.
I finally learned my lesson, should a long time ago.
The next woman that I marry, she gonna work and bring me the dough.
Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about.
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve,
She had the nerve,
She had the nerve,
She had the nerve to put me out.
Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about.
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve to put me out.
I got a job in a steel mill, shucking steel like a slave.
Five long years, every Friday I come straight back home with all my pay.
Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about.
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve to put me out.
I finally learned my lesson, should a long time ago.
The next woman that I marry, she gonna work and bring me the dough.
Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about.
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve,
She had the nerve,
She had the nerve,
She had the nerve to put me out.
I'm Tore Down lyrics - Eric Clapton
I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.
I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.
Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be found.
I went to the river to jump in.
My baby showed up and said, "I will tell you when."
[Chorus:]
Well, I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.
Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be found.

Love like mine will never grow old.
Love you in the morning and in the evening too.
Every time you leave me I get mad with you.

I love you baby with all my might;
Love like mine is out of sight.
I'll lie for you if you want me to.
I really don't believe that your love is true.

I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.
Well, I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.

How Long Blues lyrics - Eric Clapton
How long, baby how long,
Has that evening train been gone?
[Chorus:]
How long,
How how long,
Baby how long?
Went to the station, didn't see no train.
Down in my heart, I have an aching pain.
[Chorus]
I feel disgusted, I feel so bad
Thinking 'bout the good time that I once have had.
[Chorus]
I could see the green grass growing on the hill;
I ain't seen no greenback on a dollar bill.
[Chorus]
You're gonna be sorry, you'll feel so blue.
When you want me, baby, I declare I won't want you.
[Chorus]
Don't have no money for to ride the train.
I would ride the rods, baby, to be with you again.
[Chorus]
How long, baby how long
Must I keep my, my watch in pawn?
[Chorus]
Has that evening train been gone?
[Chorus:]
How long,
How how long,
Baby how long?
Went to the station, didn't see no train.
Down in my heart, I have an aching pain.
[Chorus]
I feel disgusted, I feel so bad
Thinking 'bout the good time that I once have had.

I could see the green grass growing on the hill;
I ain't seen no greenback on a dollar bill.

How long, baby how long
Must I keep my, my watch in pawn?
[Chorus]
Goin' Away Baby lyrics - Eric Clapton
Lord, I'm going away just to wear you off my mind.
Lord, I'm going away just to wear you off my mind.
Well you keep me worrying 'bout it all the time.
Well, I ain't been loved but four womens in my life.
Well, I ain't ever loved but four womens in my life.
Well, my mother and my sister, sweetheart and my wife.
If you don't want me baby, please don't call me 'round.
If you don't want me baby, please don't call me 'round.
Well, just like you found me, you can put me down.
Well now goodbye baby, if you call at home.

You can go away; swear you won't stay long.

You can go away; swear you won't stay long.
Blues Leave Me Alone lyrics - Eric Clapton
Blues, blues trying to drive me away from home.
Blues, blues trying to drive me away from home.
Had the blues so bad, blues followed me all day long.
Blues, blues won't let me take my rest.
Blues, blues won't let me take my rest.
My mind is rambling like a wild geese out in the west.
Well, you're my all day steady, baby you're my midnight dream.
Yes, you're my all day steady, baby you're my midnight dream.
I love that woman better than anyone I've ever seen.
Blues, blues follow me all day long.
Blues, blues follow me all day long.
Blues, blues won't you please leave me alone.
Blues, blues trying to drive me away from home.
Had the blues so bad, blues followed me all day long.
Blues, blues won't let me take my rest.
Blues, blues won't let me take my rest.
My mind is rambling like a wild geese out in the west.
Well, you're my all day steady, baby you're my midnight dream.
Yes, you're my all day steady, baby you're my midnight dream.
I love that woman better than anyone I've ever seen.
Blues, blues follow me all day long.
Blues, blues follow me all day long.
Blues, blues won't you please leave me alone.
Sinner's Prayer lyrics - Eric Clapton
Lord have mercy,
Lord have mercy on me.
Lord have mercy,
Lord have mercy on me.
Well if I've done somebody wrong, Lord,
Have mercy if you please.
I used to have plenty of money,
The finest clothes in town,
But bad luck and trouble overtaken me,
Bound to get me down.
Please have mercy,
Lord have mercy on me.
Well if I've done somebody wrong, Lord,
Have mercy if you please.
Keep on working now, child.

Well if I've been a bad boy, baby,
I declare I'll change my ways.
I don't want bad luck and trouble
To follow me all my days.

I declare I'll change my ways.
I don't want bad luck and trouble
To follow me all my days.

If I mistreat you girl, I sure don't mean no harm.

Well, I'm a motherless child; I don't know right from wrong.
Please tell me pretty mama, honey where'd you stay last night?
Please tell me pretty mama, honey where'd you stay last night?
Well, you didn't come home till the sun was shining bright.
I had to go so far girl to get my ham bones boiled.

Well, I did more for you, girl, than your daddy ever done.

And when you see two women, always running hand in hand.

You can bet your bottom dollar, one got the other one's man.
Lord, I'm going to the river, get me a tangled rocking chair.

And if the blues overtake me, gonna rock away from here.

Please tell me pretty mama, honey where'd you stay last night?

It Hurts Me Too lyrics - Eric Clapton
You said you was hurting,
Almost lost your mind,
And the man you love,
He hurts you all the time.
[Chorus:]
When things go wrong,
Go wrong with you,
It hurts me, too.
You love him more
When you should love him less.
I pick up behind him
And take his mess.
[Chorus]
He love another woman
And I love you,
But you love him
And stick to him like glue.
[Chorus]
Now you better leave him;
He better put you down.
Oh, I won't stand
To see you pushed around.
[Chorus]
Almost lost your mind,
And the man you love,
He hurts you all the time.

When things go wrong,
Go wrong with you,
It hurts me, too.

When you should love him less.
I pick up behind him
And take his mess.

And I love you,
But you love him
And stick to him like glue.
[Chorus]
Now you better leave him;
He better put you down.
Oh, I won't stand
To see you pushed around.

Someday After A While lyrics - Eric Clapton
I've got to ride that lonesome train.
My heart is heavy with aches and pain.
[Chorus:]
I said but someday, someday baby,
After a while,
You will be sorry.
Every day, my clouds are grey;
It takes you to roll all those clouds away.
[Chorus]
Trouble, trouble, trouble on my mind.
Trouble, trouble, way down the line.
I don't need, I don't need no sympathy,
So babe, babe, don't you, don't you pity me.
I may be blue, but I don't mind,
Because I know way down the line,
[Chorus]
My heart is heavy with aches and pain.

After a while,
You will be sorry.

Standin' Round Crying lyrics - Eric Clapton
Oh baby, look how you got me standin' 'round crying.
Oh baby, look how you got me standin' 'round crying.
Lord I love you little girl, you're always resting on my mind.
Oh baby, I ain't gonna be riding you 'round in my automobile.
Oh baby, I ain't gonna be riding you 'round in my automobile.
You got so many men, I'm afraid you may get me killed.
Oh baby, you ain't nothing like you used to be. (No, don't get me killed, honey!)
Oh baby, you ain't nothing like you used to be. (Oh man, leave that woman alone!)
When I was deep in love with you, little girl, you were just sweet as an apple on a tree.
Oh baby, look how you got me standin' 'round crying.
Lord I love you little girl, you're always resting on my mind.
Oh baby, I ain't gonna be riding you 'round in my automobile.
Oh baby, I ain't gonna be riding you 'round in my automobile.
You got so many men, I'm afraid you may get me killed.
Oh baby, you ain't nothing like you used to be. (No, don't get me killed, honey!)
Oh baby, you ain't nothing like you used to be. (Oh man, leave that woman alone!)
When I was deep in love with you, little girl, you were just sweet as an apple on a tree.
Drifting Blues lyrics - Eric Clapton
I'm drifting and drifting,
Just like a ship out on the sea.
I'm drifting and drifting,
Just like a ship out on the sea.
Well I ain't got nobody
In this world to care for me.
If my baby
Would only take me back again.
If my baby
Would only take me back again.
I would feel much better, darling,
And at least I'd have a friend.
I give you all my money,
Tell me what more can I do.
I give you all my money,
Tell me what more can I do.
You is a sweet little girl
But I swear you won't be true.
I'm drifting and drifting,
Just like a ship out on the sea.
I'm drifting and drifting,
Just like a ship out on the sea.
Because I ain't got nobody
In this world to care for me.
Just like a ship out on the sea.
I'm drifting and drifting,
Just like a ship out on the sea.
Well I ain't got nobody
In this world to care for me.
If my baby
Would only take me back again.
If my baby
Would only take me back again.
I would feel much better, darling,
And at least I'd have a friend.
I give you all my money,
Tell me what more can I do.
I give you all my money,
Tell me what more can I do.
You is a sweet little girl
But I swear you won't be true.
I'm drifting and drifting,
Just like a ship out on the sea.
I'm drifting and drifting,
Just like a ship out on the sea.
Because I ain't got nobody
In this world to care for me.
Groaning The Blues lyrics - Eric Clapton
I'm so tired of moaning,
Trying to groan away my blues.
I'm so tired of moaning,
Trying to groan away my blues.
I keep weeping and crying
Every time I think of you.
I would rather die of starvation,
Perish out in the desert sun,
I would rather die of starvation,
Perish out in the desert sun,
Than to think of some other man
Holding you in his arms.
My heart gets so heavy
Lord I shakes down in my bones.
My heart gets so heavy,
Lord I shakes down in my bones.
I can't hurt a murderer,
Oh Lord, but I'm forced to weep and moan.
Trying to groan away my blues.
I'm so tired of moaning,
Trying to groan away my blues.
I keep weeping and crying
Every time I think of you.
I would rather die of starvation,
Perish out in the desert sun,
I would rather die of starvation,
Perish out in the desert sun,
Than to think of some other man
Holding you in his arms.
My heart gets so heavy
Lord I shakes down in my bones.
My heart gets so heavy,
Lord I shakes down in my bones.
I can't hurt a murderer,
Oh Lord, but I'm forced to weep and moan.
Before You Accuse Me lyrics - Eric Clapton
[Chorus:]
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
You say I've been spending my money on other women
You've been taking money from someone else
I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago
I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago
Well your mother said "Son"
"Don't call my daughter no more"
[Chorus]
Come back home baby, try my love one more time
Come back home baby, try my love one more time
If I don't go on and quit you
I'm gonna lose my mind
[Chorus]
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
You say I've been spending my money on other women
You've been taking money from someone else
I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago
I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago
Well your mother said "Son"
"Don't call my daughter no more"
[Chorus]
Come back home baby, try my love one more time
Come back home baby, try my love one more time
If I don't go on and quit you
I'm gonna lose my mind
[Chorus]

Tears In Heaven lyrics - Eric Clapton
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.
Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way
Through night and day,
'Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven.
Time can bring you down,
Time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart,
Have you begging please, begging please.
Beyond the door,
There's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven.
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.
Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way
Through night and day,
'Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven.
Time can bring you down,
Time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart,
Have you begging please, begging please.
Beyond the door,
There's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven.
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.
Lonely Stranger lyrics - Eric Clapton
I must be invisible;
No one knows me.
I have crawled down dead-end streets
On my hands and knees.
I was born with a ragin' thirst,
A hunger to be free,
But I've learned through the years.
Don't encourage me.
[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm a lonely stranger here,
Well beyond my day.
And I don't know what's goin' on,
So I'll be on my way.
When I walk, stay behind;
Don't get close to me,
'Cause it's sure to end in tears,
So just let me be.
Some will say that I'm no good;
Maybe I agree.
Take a look then walk away.
That's all right with me.
[Chorus]
No one knows me.
I have crawled down dead-end streets
On my hands and knees.
I was born with a ragin' thirst,
A hunger to be free,
But I've learned through the years.
Don't encourage me.
[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm a lonely stranger here,
Well beyond my day.
And I don't know what's goin' on,
So I'll be on my way.
When I walk, stay behind;
Don't get close to me,
'Cause it's sure to end in tears,
So just let me be.
Some will say that I'm no good;
Maybe I agree.
Take a look then walk away.
That's all right with me.
[Chorus]
Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out lyrics - Eric Clapton
Once I lived the life of a millionaire,
Spent all my money, I just did not care.
Took all my friends out for a good time,
Bought bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine.
Then I began to fall so low,
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go.
I get my hands on a dollar again,
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins.
'Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out.
In your pocket, not one penny,
And as for friends, you don't have any.
When you finally get back up on your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend.
Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
When you finally get back upon your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend.
Said it's mighty strange,
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
Spent all my money, I just did not care.
Took all my friends out for a good time,
Bought bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine.
Then I began to fall so low,
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go.
I get my hands on a dollar again,
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins.
'Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out.
In your pocket, not one penny,
And as for friends, you don't have any.
When you finally get back up on your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend.
Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
When you finally get back upon your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend.
Said it's mighty strange,
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
Layla lyrics - Eric Clapton
What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.
[Chorus:]
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.
[Chorus]
Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.
[Chorus 2x]
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.
[Chorus:]
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.
[Chorus]
Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.
[Chorus 2x]
Running On Faith lyrics - Eric Clapton
[Chorus:]
Lately I've been running on faith
What else can a poor boy do?
But my world will be right
When love comes over you
Lately I've been talking in my sleep
I can't imagine what I'd have to say
Except my world will be right
When love comes back your way
I've always been
One to take each and every day
Seems like by now
I'd find a love who cares just for me
Then we'd go running on faith
All of our dreams would come true
And our world will be right
When love comes over me and you
[Chorus]
Then we'd go running on faith
All of our dreams would come true
And our world will be right
When love comes over me and you
When love comes over you
Lately I've been running on faith
What else can a poor boy do?
But my world will be right
When love comes over you
Lately I've been talking in my sleep
I can't imagine what I'd have to say
Except my world will be right
When love comes back your way
I've always been
One to take each and every day
Seems like by now
I'd find a love who cares just for me
Then we'd go running on faith
All of our dreams would come true
And our world will be right
When love comes over me and you
[Chorus]
Then we'd go running on faith
All of our dreams would come true
And our world will be right
When love comes over me and you
When love comes over you
Walkin' Blues lyrics - Eric Clapton
Woke up this morning, feel 'round for my shoes,
You know 'bout that babe, had them old walkin' blues.
Woke up this morning, I feel 'round for my shoes,
You know 'bout that babe, Lord, I had them old walkin' blues.
Leavin' this morning, I had to go ride the blinds.
I've been mistreated, don't mind dying.
This morning, I had to go ride the blinds,
I've been mistreated, Lord, I don't mind dying.
People tell me walkin' blues ain't bad;
Worst old feeling I most ever had.
People tell me the old walkin' blues ain't bad.
Well it's the worst old feeling, Lord, I most ever had.
You know 'bout that babe, had them old walkin' blues.
Woke up this morning, I feel 'round for my shoes,
You know 'bout that babe, Lord, I had them old walkin' blues.
Leavin' this morning, I had to go ride the blinds.
I've been mistreated, don't mind dying.
This morning, I had to go ride the blinds,
I've been mistreated, Lord, I don't mind dying.
People tell me walkin' blues ain't bad;
Worst old feeling I most ever had.

Well it's the worst old feeling, Lord, I most ever had.

San Francisco Bay Blues lyrics - Eric Clapton
I got the blues from my baby left me by the San Francisco Bay,
The ocean liner's gone so far away.
Didn't mean to treat her so bad, she was the best girl I ever have had,
She said goodbye, I can take a cry, I want to lay down and die.
I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime.
She don't come back, think I'm going to lose my mind.
If she ever gets back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.
Sitting down looking from my back door, wondering which way to go,
The woman I'm so crazy about, she don't love me no more.
Think I'll catch me a freight train, 'cause I'm feeling blue,
And ride all the way to the end of the line, thinking only of you.
Meanwhile, in another city, just about to go insane,
Thought I heard my baby, Lord, the way she used to call my name.
If I ever get her back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.
The ocean liner's gone so far away.
Didn't mean to treat her so bad, she was the best girl I ever have had,
She said goodbye, I can take a cry, I want to lay down and die.
I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime.
She don't come back, think I'm going to lose my mind.
If she ever gets back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.
Sitting down looking from my back door, wondering which way to go,
The woman I'm so crazy about, she don't love me no more.
Think I'll catch me a freight train, 'cause I'm feeling blue,
And ride all the way to the end of the line, thinking only of you.
Meanwhile, in another city, just about to go insane,
Thought I heard my baby, Lord, the way she used to call my name.
If I ever get her back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.
Malted Milk lyrics - Eric Clapton
I keep drinking malted milk,
Trying to drive my blues away.
I keep drinking malted milk,
Trying to drive my blues away.
Baby, you're just as welcome to my loving
As the flowers is in May.
Malted milk, malted milk,
Keep rushing to my head.
Malted milk, malted milk,
Keep rushing to my head.
And I have a funny, funny feeling
And I'm talking all out my head.
Baby, fix me one more drink
And hug your daddy one more time.
Baby, fix me one more drink
And hug your daddy one more time.
Keep on stirring my malted milk, mama,
Until I change my mind.
My doorknob keeps on turning,
There must be spooks around my bed.
My doorknob keeps on turning,
There must be spooks around my bed.
And I have a funny, funny feeling
And the hair's rising on my head.
Trying to drive my blues away.
I keep drinking malted milk,
Trying to drive my blues away.
Baby, you're just as welcome to my loving
As the flowers is in May.
Malted milk, malted milk,
Keep rushing to my head.
Malted milk, malted milk,
Keep rushing to my head.
And I have a funny, funny feeling
And I'm talking all out my head.
Baby, fix me one more drink
And hug your daddy one more time.
Baby, fix me one more drink
And hug your daddy one more time.
Keep on stirring my malted milk, mama,
Until I change my mind.
My doorknob keeps on turning,
There must be spooks around my bed.
My doorknob keeps on turning,
There must be spooks around my bed.
And I have a funny, funny feeling
And the hair's rising on my head.
Old Love lyrics - Eric Clapton
I can feel your body
When I'm lying in bed
There's too much confusion
Going around through my head
And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame still burns
Why can't I get over?
When will I ever learn?
[Chorus:]
Old love, leave me alone
Old love, go on home
I can see your face
But I know that it's not real
It's just an illusion
Caused by how I used to feel
And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame will always burn
I'll never get over
I know now that I'll never learn
[Chorus]
When I'm lying in bed
There's too much confusion
Going around through my head
And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame still burns
Why can't I get over?
When will I ever learn?
[Chorus:]
Old love, leave me alone
Old love, go on home
I can see your face
But I know that it's not real
It's just an illusion
Caused by how I used to feel
And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame will always burn
I'll never get over
I know now that I'll never learn
[Chorus]
Rollin' And Tumblin' lyrics - Eric Clapton
Well, I woke up this morning, my biscuit rolling on.
Well now, come here baby, sit down on daddy's knee.
Well now, come here baby, sit down on daddy's knee.
I want to tell you about the way they treated me.
Well, I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long.
Well, I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long.
When I woke up this morning, all I had was gone.
Well now, come here baby, sit down on daddy's knee.
Well now, come here baby, sit down on daddy's knee.
I want to tell you about the way they treated me.
Well, I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long.
Well, I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long.
When I woke up this morning, all I had was gone.
Pretending lyrics - Eric Clapton
How many times must we tell the tale?
How many times must we fall?
Living in lost memory
You just recalled
Working on the sound of the band
Trying to get the music right
Two go out working
Three stay home at night
That's when she said she was pretending
Like she knew the plan
That's when I knew she was pretending
Pretending to understand
Pretending, pretending
Pretending, pretending
Satisfied but lost in love
Situations change
You're never who you used to think you are
How strange
[Repeat First Chorus]
[Bridge]
I get lost in alibis
Sadness can't prevail
Everybody knows strong love
Can't fail
Don't be pretending about how you feel
Don't be pretending that your love is real
Don't be pretending about how you feel
Don't be pretending that your love is real
[Bridge]
How many times must we fall?
Living in lost memory
You just recalled
Working on the sound of the band
Trying to get the music right
Two go out working
Three stay home at night
That's when she said she was pretending
Like she knew the plan
That's when I knew she was pretending
Pretending to understand
Pretending, pretending
Pretending, pretending
Satisfied but lost in love
Situations change
You're never who you used to think you are
How strange
[Repeat First Chorus]
[Bridge]
I get lost in alibis
Sadness can't prevail
Everybody knows strong love
Can't fail
Don't be pretending about how you feel
Don't be pretending that your love is real
Don't be pretending about how you feel
Don't be pretending that your love is real
[Bridge]
Anything For Your Love lyrics - Eric Clapton
God's got a plan, he's making it clear
Sweet little love song in your ear
Like hearts made of diamond, love will prevail
Put a little wind in your sail
[Chorus:]
I'd do anything, anything you can dream of
I'd do anything, anything for your love
For your love
For your love
Listen now baby, I'll tell you true
Just how much that I love you
I got a sweet feelin' I know is real
This kind of love you can't conceal
[Chorus 2x]
Sweet little love song in your ear
Like hearts made of diamond, love will prevail
Put a little wind in your sail
[Chorus:]
I'd do anything, anything you can dream of
I'd do anything, anything for your love
For your love
For your love
Listen now baby, I'll tell you true
Just how much that I love you
I got a sweet feelin' I know is real
This kind of love you can't conceal
[Chorus 2x]
Bad Love lyrics - Eric Clapton
Oh what a feeling I get when I'm with you
You take my heart into everything you do
And it makes me sad for the lonely people
I walked that road for so long
Now I know that I'm one of the lucky people
Your love is making me strong
[Chorus:]
I've had enough bad love
I need something I can be proud of
I've had enough bad love
No more bad love
And now I see that my life has been so blue
With all the heartaches I had till I met you
But I'm glad to say now that's all behind me
With you here by my side
And there's no more memories to remind me
Your love will keep me alive
[Chorus 3x]
You take my heart into everything you do
And it makes me sad for the lonely people
I walked that road for so long
Now I know that I'm one of the lucky people
Your love is making me strong
[Chorus:]
I've had enough bad love
I need something I can be proud of
I've had enough bad love
No more bad love
And now I see that my life has been so blue
With all the heartaches I had till I met you
But I'm glad to say now that's all behind me
With you here by my side
And there's no more memories to remind me
Your love will keep me alive
[Chorus 3x]
