James Alley Blues (Live)

Times right now ain't nothin' like they used to be Times right now ain't nothin' like they used to be You know I'll tell you all the truth, won't you take my word from me Well, I've seen better days but I ain't puttin' up with these Well, I've seen better days but I ain't puttin' up with these I had a lot better time with those women down in New Orleans Well, I was born in the country so she thinks I'm easy to lose Well, I was born in the country so she thinks I'm easy to lose She wants to hitch me to a wagon and drive me like a mule Well, I bought her a gold ring and I pay the rent Well, I bought her a gold ring and I pay the rent She tried to get me to wash her clothes but I got good common sense Well, if you don't love me then why don't you just tell me so? Well, if you don't love me then why don't you just tell me so? It ain't like I'm a man that ain't got nowhere else to go I give you sugar for sugar, all you want is salt for salt I give you sugar for sugar but all you want is salt for salt Well, if you can't get along with me, then it's your own fault Well, you want me to love you but then you just treat me mean Ah, you want me to love you but then you just treat me mean You're my daily thought and you're my nightly dream Sometimes I think that you're just too sweet to die Oh, sometimes I think that you're just too sweet to die And other times I think that you ought to be buried alive
