1. CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR
(Wallis/Brilleaux/Russell/Mitchell/Morris)
Sharp suit, big car
who do you think you are?
Moving real fast
How long can it last?
Don't push your luck too far
I'll tell you where you are
You're close but no cigar
You're close but no cigar
She laughs, you smile
You think that's style
Like hiding on the bed
She touched you there
You're reaching for the stars
I'll tell you where you are
You're close but no cigar
You're close but no cigar
No truth or lies have passed alibis
She'll swear she's square
Well baby, I don´t care
I saw you in his car
I'll tell you where you are
You're close but no cigar
You're close but no cigar
2. SO LONG (Mickey Jupp)
I'm not the man you're looking for
Honey, let go of my hand and show me the door
So long, you got me wrong
You ain't got me going, baby
You got me gone
Somewhere there's a fellow that's waiting for you
Somewhere there's a man with nothing better to do
So long, you got me wrong
You ain't got me going, baby
You got me gone
There's a man for the show
Listen to what I tell you, honey
I'm a man for the road
I'm not the man you're looking for
Honey, let go of my hand and show me the door
So long, you got me wrong
You ain't got me going, baby
You got me gone
There's a man for the money
There's a man for the show
Listen to what I tell you, honey
I'm a man for the road
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
'Cause you ain't got me going, honey
You got me gone
Gone, gone, gone...
3. YOU DON'T LOVE ME
You don't love me baby
You don't love me, yes I know
You don't love me, pretty baby
You don't love me and I know
If you leave me now, baby
Don't you know it's gonna hurt me so?
I'm gonna tell my mama
I'm gonna tell my papa too
I'm gonna tell my mama
I'm gonna tell my papa too
I'm gonna tell the old men
What these young girls do to you
You don't love me baby
You don't love me, yes I know
You don't love me, pretty baby
You don't love me and I know
If you say you're gonna leave me
Down that road you know I'll go
4. MY WAY (J. Capehart/E. Cochran)
Well listen pretty baby
Let's go out tonight
Tell your mama not to worry
Everything's gonna be alright
Don't let me hear you talking
Just be there when I call
'cause I do I do my way
or it won't be done at all
Little girl
Better hear what I say
I'm an easygoing guy
But I always gotta have my way
I was born a tiger, I've always had my way
Nothing's gonna change me on this or any day
Don´t let me hear you argue when I say walk or jump
A woman ain't been born yet that can play me for a chump
Little girl
Better hear what I say
I'm an easygoing guy
But I always gotta have my way
Don't ask me for a reason
Don't even wonder why
I'll walk away and leave you
I don't wanna see you cry
I've done a lot of planning
I´ve got lotta things to do
So don't give me no trouble
Or me and you are through
Little girl
Better hear what I say
I'm an easygoing guy
But I always gotta have my way
I'm an easygoing guy
But I always gotta have my way
But I always gotta have my way
5. NEIGHBOUR NEIGHBOUR(Valien)
Neighbour neighbour
Don't worry about what goes on in my house
Always looking for something to gossip about
You're going around from door to door
Shooting your mouth about things you don't know
Neighbour neighbour
Don't worry about what goes on in my house
Neighbour neighbour
Don't worry about how I treat my wife
You tell everybody we fuss and fight every night
If you cause me trouble it's your trouble too
Something bad's gonna happen to you
Neighbour neighbour
Don't worry about what goes on in my house
Neighbour neighbour
Don't worry who knocks on my front door
You're walking, talking, pacing all over the floor
Screaming and scheming right through the halls
You got your big ears, man glued to my walls
Neighbour neighbour
Don't worry about what goes on in my house
In my home
In my home
In my home
In my home
6. TALK OF THE DEVIL (Sanderson/Wallis)
Keep looking back over your shoulder
You don't know who might be there
Hiding under your bed or right behind your chair
Watching every move now and hearing every word
Be careful what you say now, you might be overheard
Don't talk of the devil
Don't talk of the devil
Don't talk of the devil
He might be near
He's watching from the TV
He waits to make a pass
You pour him from a bottle
He's smiling from your glass
He talks through women's lips now
He laughs through those eyes
Shooting from the hip now
It's all a batch of lies
Don't talk of the devil
Don't talk of the devil
Don't say I didn't warn you
'Cause I'm a man who knows
Who wishes he'd never been born
Bad from head to toe
Better keep your nose clean
And keep your cards to your chest
The only thing you can do know
Is keep hoping for the best
Don't talk of the devil
(Repeat to fade)
7. HIT GIT AND SPLIT (Young Jessie)
Hit, git and split, I'm coming back home to you
Hit, git and split, I'm coming back home to you
There's nobody here gonna take the place of you
I got the blues, my baby's not here with me
I got the blues, my baby's not here with me
She's a little bitty chick and I'm never gonna let her be
Hit, git and split, I'm coming back home to you
Hit, git and split, I'm coming back home to you
There's nobody here gonna take the place of you
Clean the house woman, this time I'm on my way
Clean the house woman, this time I'm on my way
Don't make no plans for I'm coming back home to stay
8. I CAN'T BE SATISFIED (McKinley Morganfield)
All in my sleep I hear my doorbell ring
Look outside my window and see no doggone thing
Woman I'm troubled
I'm troubled and worried now
I be all worried in mind
Well I just can't be satisfied
I just can't keep from crying
I feel like slapping a pistol in your face
I want some old graveyard to be your resting place
Woman I'm troubled
I'm troubled and worried now
I'm all worried in mind
I'm going away to leave you, I won't be here no more
Heading for the southland and you won't have to cry no more
Woman I'm troubled
I'm troubled and worried now
Be all worried in mind
9. SATURDAY NIGHT FISH FRY (Jordan/Walsh)
If you've ever been down to New Orleans
Then you can understand just what I mean
All through the week it's as quiet as a mouse
But on Saturday night they go from house to house
You don't have to pay when you only mention
If you're a cook or a waiter or a good musician
If you just happen to be passing by
Stop in at the Saturday night fish fry
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'Til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'Til the break of dawn
Now my buddy and me was on the bandstand
Fooling around, just me and him
We decided we could use something to eat
So we went to a house on Rampart Street
We knocked on the door and it opened with ease
A light-skinned miss said 'Come in, please'
Before we could even bat an eye
We was right in the middle of a big fish fry
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'Til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'Til the break of dawn
Now the woman was screaming and jumping and yelling
The bottles were flying and the fish were smelling
From way up above all the noise they made
Somebody hollered 'Better get outta here, this is a raid'
I didn't know we were breaking the law
Somebody reached over and hit me on the jaw
They had locked up from the front and the back
Putting them in the wagon like potato sacks
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'Til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'Til the break of dawn
I knew I could away if I had the chance
But I was shaking like I had St. Vitus' Dance
I tried to crawl under a bathtub
A policeman said 'Hey, now where you going, bud?'
They got us outta there like a house on fire
And put us all in that black mariah
They might of missed one or two
But they got both me and my buddy too
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'Til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'Til the break of dawn
Well we headed for jail in a dazed condition
They booked each one of us on suspicion
My chick came down and she went my bail
Finally got me outta that rotten jail
If you ever wanna go get a fist in your eye
Just mention a Saturday night fish fry
I don't care how many fish in the sea
Don't ever mention a fish to me
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'Til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'Til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'Til the break of dawn
10. DRIVING WHEEL (Sykes)

Well you know it ain't right baby

12. I DON'T WORRY ABOUT A THING (Allison)
If this life is driving you to drink
You're sitting around wondering just what to think
Well I got some consolation
I'll give it to you if I might
I don't worry about a thing
I know nothing's gonna be alright
You know this world's just one big trouble spot
Some have and some have not
You know, I used to be troubled but
I finally saw the light
I don't worry about a thing
I know nothing's gonna be alright
Don't waste your time trying to be a go-getter
Things will get worse before they get any better
You know there's always somebody playing with dynamite
I don't worry about a thing
I know nothing's gonna be alright
I don't worry about a thing
I know nothing's gonna be alright
13. SHE'S IN THE MIDDLE (Gordon Russell)
I've got this girl, she's got this man
I do my best, I try to do what I can
She's in the middle
She's in the middle
She's in the middle and
She doesn't know which way to turn
I say to her that she's a mixed-up kid
She says to me, she says she know what she did
She's in the middle
She's in the middle
She's in the middle and
She doesn't know which way to turn
Caught between two lovers, that's how the story goes
This could be the end and I hope you can see
What you're doing to me
I can see you love him, I don't mind
But why do you have to have two of a kind?
She's in the middle
She's in the middle
She's in the middle and
She doesn't know which way to turn
Caught between two lovers, that's how the story goes
This could be the end and I hope you can see
What you're doing to me
I've got this girl, she's got this man
I do my best, I try to do what I can
She's in the middle
She's in the middle
She's in the middle and
She doesn't know which way to turn

14. DANGEROUS
(Wallis/Brilleaux/Russell/Mitchell/Morris)
Don't call my name, I just must answer
This ain't no game, I ain't no chanter
Don't get me wrong, I don't want trouble
You come back strong, I'll come back double
I don't mess around, I'm dangerous
She's like a knife, sharp but pretty
She'll break your heart just for fun
You bet your life, you'll get no pity
She'll drop you flat when it's done
Look but just don't touch, she's dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous
Big city lights, cold city nights
Sharks taking bites, dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous
- Guitar Break -
Big city lights, cold city nights
Sharks taking bites, dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous
So just get smart and keep away now
You wouldn't like the games we play now
It gets kinda' rough, we're dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous

Don't push your luck too far
I'll tell you where you are
You're close but no cigar
You're close but no cigar
She laughs, you smile
You think that's style
Like hiding on the bed
She touched you there
You're reaching for the stars
I'll tell you where you are
You're close but no cigar
You're close but no cigar
No truth or lies have passed alibis
She'll swear she's square
Well baby, I don´t care
I saw you in his car
I'll tell you where you are
You're close but no cigar
You're close but no cigar

She's in the middle
She's in the middle
She's in the middle and
She doesn't know which way to turn
Caught between two lovers, that's how the story goes
This could be the end and I hope you can see
What you're doing to me
I've got this girl, she's got this man
I do my best, I try to do what I can
She's in the middle
She's in the middle
She's in the middle and
She doesn't know which way to turn

14. DANGEROUS
(Wallis/Brilleaux/Russell/Mitchell/Morris)
Don't call my name, I just must answer
This ain't no game, I ain't no chanter
Don't get me wrong, I don't want trouble
You come back strong, I'll come back double
I don't mess around, I'm dangerous
She's like a knife, sharp but pretty
She'll break your heart just for fun
You bet your life, you'll get no pity
She'll drop you flat when it's done
Look but just don't touch, she's dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous
Big city lights, cold city nights
Sharks taking bites, dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous
- Guitar Break -
Big city lights, cold city nights
Sharks taking bites, dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous
So just get smart and keep away now
You wouldn't like the games we play now
It gets kinda' rough, we're dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous
