Too Wet To Plow

Too Wet To Plow Lyrics
by Johnny Shines
in C Blues.

Well I was standing here at my window
And I was looking out at the rain
Well I was standing at my window
People, looking out at the rain
Well, deep down in my heart
There was nothing but aching pain

Well it seemed like a million years
Since I sit down and wrote to you
Well it seemed like a million years
Woo, since I sit down and wrote to you
Well every now and then I wonder
Why I love you the way I do

Sometimes, sometime I think, babe
You don't love me anyhow
Woo, sometime I think, baby
You don't love me anyhow
Well, but it's too late, too late now, darling
Well is he too wet to plow

You Better Turn Around

You Better Turn Around Lyrics
by Johnny Shines
in F Blues.

If you don't, whoa, feel the spirit
You'd better turn around
If you don't feel the spirit
You'd better turn around
Well you, you'd better turn around
Go right back, go right back to your praying ground
If you don't, hooo, feel the spirit
You'd better turn around
Mmmm

Why you can yell, whoa, my god calling
You'd better turn around
Why you can yell, my god calling
You'd better turn around
Well you, you'd better turn around
Go right back, go right back to your praying ground
Why you can yell, hooo, my god calling
You'd better turn around

Why you can yell, whoa, mother's prayer
Son, you better turn around
Why you can yell, mother's prayer
You'd better turn around
Well you, had better turn around
Go right back, right back to your praying ground
Why you can yell, hooo, mother's prayer
Child, you'd better turn around
Mmmm

Your Troubles Can't Be Like Mine

Your Troubles Can't Be Like Mine Lyrics
by Johnny Shines
in G Blues.

What're you going through, baby, and your
troubles get like mine
What're you going through, baby, and your
troubles treat like mine
Well you got nobody
that your troubles kill

Well I went to the railroad
looked it up and down
Well I went to the railroad and I
looked it up and down
I ask for nobody
but my baby to be around

Bye bye little woman
I got to leave you now
Bye bye little woman
I got to
You're tryin' to quit me
You don't even know who nor how

Tryin' to tell you, baby, your
troubles can't be like mine
Tryin' to tell you, baby, your
troubles can't be like mine
Well I haven't had none of the trouble
Lord, since I've been gone

Evil Hearted Woman Blues

Evil Hearted Woman Blues Lyrics
by Johnny Shines
in G Blues.

I've got a little woman
And she lives upon that hill
Whooo hooo
And she lives upon that hill
Well she would already have slain me
Whooo, well it fouldn't the good master's will

She rather know I's in the sea
With a mist thrown on my back
Whooo hooo
With a mist thrown on my back
Rather than know that I've got another woman
Whooo, and I ain't goin' to take her back

She's an evil-hearted woman
And she want me out away
She's an evil-hearted woman
And she want me out away
But I know she will be happy
Whooo, when I'm six feet in the cold, cold clay

When you in love with a woman
You don't want nobody else
Whooo hooo
You don't want nobody else
When she's an evil-hearted woman
Whooo, you have to be careful yourself

Please Don't (Take 2)

Please Don't (Take 2) Lyrics
by Johnny Shines
in G Blues.

Well don't put your hand
where your money ought to be
Well don't put your hand
where your money ought to be
Cause if you do
you're liable to hear from me

Well you got beauty
And you got style
You even got a
great big smile
But don't put your hand
where your money ought to be
Because if you do
you're liable to hear from me

Well you got a car
And you got a home
When you're walking but
when you are really home
But don't put your hand
where your money ought to be
Because if you do
you're liable to hear from me

Please Don't (Take 1)

Please Don't (Take 1) Lyrics
by Johnny Shines
in G Blues.

Now don't put your hand
where your money ought to be
Well don't put your hand
where your money ought to be
Because if you do
you're liable to hear from me

Well you got beauty
And you got style
You got clothes, baby
With a great big smile
But don't put your hand
where your money ought to be
Because if you do
you're liable to hear from me

You got a car
And you got a home
When you're walking but
where you are really home
But don't put your hand
where your money ought to be
Because if you do
you're liable to hear from me

Well you in society
And you played the part
Even had a oil well
drilled in your back yard
But don't put your hand
where your money ought to be
Because if you do
you'll need something for your referee

When Your Troubles Get Like Mine

When Your Troubles Get Like Mine Lyrics
by Johnny Shines
in G# / A♭ Blues.

Tell me where were you, baby, when the
blues came
Tell me where were you, baby, when my
blues came down like rain
Well deep down in my heart
there was achin' pain

Well my mother, she dead and my
father don't care for me
Well my mother, she dead and my
...
And my brother's in the army
Way out 'cross the sea

What are you going through, baby, and your
troubles get like mine
What are you going through, and your
troubles get like mine
Wanna start a big joke just to
keep myself from crying

Well my blues fell this morning
my baby say goodbye
Well my blues fell this morning
my baby say goodbye
Well I couldn't do nothing but
hang my head and cry

Delta Pine Blues

Delta Pine Blues Lyrics
in D Blues
by Johnny Shines.

Boys I ain't doin' no good
I ain't even got a lousy dime
Boys I ain't doin' no good
I ain't even got a lousy dime
And woman I love is way down south
She's way down in the delta pine

Though she stayed out from me
From sundown until daybreak
Well she stayed out from me
From sundown until daybreak
Well she had did me wrong
Yes, wrong for goodness sake

Well I ain't gonna quit her
Oh boy what a wonderful break
Well I ain't going to quit her
Oh boy what a wonderful break
I'm gonna give her a chance
for to mend her mistake

Baby did you get that letter
That I throwed in your back yard
Baby did you get that letter
That I throwed in your back yard
Well I would come to see you
But those hill captains got me barred
