Livin' In The White House

Livin' In The White House Lyrics
by Johnny Shines
in C Blues.

I'm living in the White House
just trying to help old Ike along
Now I'm living in the White House
just trying to help old Ike along
And trying to make an amendment
for things Harry left undone

I don't need no pilot to
chauffeur me in no jet
I don't need no chauffeur to
chauffeur me in no jet
Because I'm kind of in a hurry
I'll have to ride space cadet

I want to live in paradise
Make servants out of kings and queens
I want to live in paradise
Make servants out of kings and queens
Now don't shake me, please, darling
This is one time I want to finish my dream


Thanks to this source for providing accurate lyrics on this song.

Cool Driver (J.O.B. version)

Cool Driver Lyrics (J.O.B. version)
by Johnny Shines
in G♭ Blues.

I heard you had plenty money, baby
Brand new automobile
But you need a cool driver
if you scootin' under your wheel
See I'm a cool driver
Yes, and I know my way around
But I need a cool mama
that don't mind me rollin' around

Five and three, eight, baby
Eight and two are ten
I won't stop lovin' you, baby
'til you tell me when
I am cool driver
Yes, and I know my way around
But you see I need a cool mama
that don't mind me rollin' around

Well I ride you so easy, baby
You think you on a cloud
I let my daughters ride
and they really taught me how
I am a cool driver
Yes, and I know my way around
But you see I need a cool mama
that don't mind bein' rolled around

Ain't Doin' No Good

Ain't Doin' No Good Lyrics
by Johnny Shines
in E♭ Blues.

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

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

Well I ain't gonna quit her
Oh boy what a wonderful break
Well I ain't gonna quit her
Oh boy what a wonderful break
I'm gonna give her a chance
To try and mend her mistake

She got real tiny eyes
Something like a Japanese
She got real tiny eyes
Something like a Japanese
Well she has something else
That'd make any fool out of me
