Worn Out Shoes 03:47

Worn out pair of shoes Bud Elkin © 2015 My baby went and left me. sHe took everything I had. You come home every night Picking fights and making me mad. Well; maybe we have our, ups and downs, But why did you up and leave, You won’t quit your messing round, Do you think I am that naive? The only thing she left me, Was these worn out pair of shoes. Maybe we should give it another chance, And work our problems out. What good do you think, that will do if you keep on going out? Well, I promise I’ll try and change, You know you won’t do that. So let’s quit foolin ourselves, if I want you I have to share. { CHORUS} The only thing he left me, Was these worn out pair of shoes.

These Old Blues 04:26

These Old Blues (c)copyright Bud Elkin 2015 It started out as an innocent date; with little secrets, and a breakfast plate. And then the real love began to show, we got married to let our love grow. But something happened to make these old blues come again. Come again. Weeks and months went and passed us by. Our love was growing, and so was I. Maybe there's something that I may have missed. your eyes told the story when we kissed. But something happened to make these old blues come again. Come again. I think I got these old blues again. these old blues have come and gone again. He saw the clouds hover over our town. Now he ain't no longer around. Something happened to make these old blues come again. Come again. Something happened to make these old blues come again. Come again.

Tuscaloosa ©copyright Bud Elkin 2015 I sit on a train I bought a ticket for. Not too many times had I paid my way. I’ve jumped those rails many times. these old blues are makin me want to stay. in Tuscaloosa Alabama town;;;;;; that’s where I want to play. [bridge] I heard it’s not what I think it is, but I know, it’s what I want it to be. When I get there I want to dash away. Go for the nearest park to play. My guitar and harmonica is all I need to make my way. in Tuscaloosa Alabama town;;;;;; that’s where I want to play. If I can get a crowd to come and stay, put down my hat so I can pay my way. make someone smile and sing with me, make them happy as I play. in Tuscaloosa Alabama town;;;;;; that’s where I want to play.

Memphis ©copyright Bud Elkin 2015 My baby went to Memphis. to start a new job. I stayed home to hold down the fort, before it’s gone. Things are tryin to get us down, but we won’t let it, we’re gonna hold on. Yea we’re gonna hold on. Memphis is far, but my baby is near. I can hear her voice, whisper in my ear. She’s Tellin me to hold on, to all…. that we got. All that we got. They say down in Memphis, there are lots of things to do. Any night you can go, hear bands playin the blues What a life to have? What a life to live? It’s For me. Yeah for me.

Got the blues ©copyright bud elkin 2015 I’ve got the blues, that can only be blues. Uh huh Well I don’t complain only when it rains. I complain, but this time. Not to you. Uh Huh [bridge] If you had my blues it would be heavenly news. Uh huh [verse] I know what is wrong, and what caused the blues. Uh huh Well, It wasn’t you, although it should be true But this time. it’s not you. Uh huh Most times it is. But this time. it’s not you. [lead] [verse] I’ve got the blues, that can only be blues. Uh huh I did the deed that caused me the shame And you know, it’s me, and not you.

Slow Blues ©copyright Bud Elkin 2015 I’ve got the slow blues. Been with me for awhile. I’ve got the slow blues. And it ain’t my style. Something caused them to come on me, But I’m not sure, what it could be. Maybe it’s depression, that’s got hold of me. Maybe too many nights, out rambling free. I’ve got the slow blues. And it ain’t my style. Well, Something ‘s got hold of me. I’ve got the slow blues creepin up on me. Been with me for a while. Got to get free. I’ve got the slow blues. And it ain’t my style. Oh I Gotta get myself set free.

Blues Baby (c)copyright Bud Elkin 2016 [chorus] Blues baby won't you come along, we're taking a trip back home. Down south where you were born, and have the freedom to roam. [verse] We've traveled around this big country of ours playing the blues in clubs and bars The crowds all loved us and we made some friends But now it's time to go back home again. Blues baby, Blues baby won't you come home with me? Don't you think we need some time at home I love the road but not alone The crowds all loved us and we made some friends And I don't want to go back home again. Blues baby, won't you stay on the road with me?

Don't Cry (c)copyright Bud Elkin Your face, can't conceal. The hurt you hide in your heart. Things you know, that you know Will certainly tear you apart. [chorus] Don't Cry; all alone I'll be here beside you Don't Cry; all alone Nobody has to know Your cry, hides away Somewhere my search can't detect If you help I might find more than you might expect

Give me some toast. I’m late to work and on my way. This gives me the blues, to leave you once more, I'll have you in my thoughts all day.
