Fish Tail Lyrics
by Johnny Shines
in B♭ Blues.
Well I feel so lonesome
Baby hear me when I moan
Well I feel so lonesome
Baby hear me when I moan
Who been playin' my Fishtail, mama
Woo since I've been gone?
I could flash my lights
And my horn won't even blow
I flash lights, mama
Woo and my horn won't even blow
She's got a bad disconnection, baby
Woo well, baby, down below
Coils even buzz, mama
Generator ain't get no spark
Your motor's in a bad condition, got to have
Your battery charged, instead I'm crying
Please, baby, please don't do me wrong
Who been drivin' my Fishtail, mama
Woo since I've been gone?
Who? Who?
Who? Baby hear me when I moan
Who been playin' my Fishtail Cadillac
Woo since I've been gone?
Hey Mr. highway man
Please don't block the road
Who?
Please don't block the road
She ran a cold one hundred, boy
When she booked me she got to go

Joliet Blues
Joliet Blues Lyrics
by Johnny Shines
in G Blues.
When they sent me to prison
My baby sat down and cried
When they sent me to prison
My baby sat down and cried
She said Daddy, you know that I love you
But you keep me dissatisfied
I said If I didn't love you, baby
I would not have done my crime
I said If I didn't love you, baby
I would not have done my crime
Well now you know I'm awful sorry
For to leave you behind
She was a smooth little woman
Just as sweet as she could be
She was a smooth little woman
Just as sweet as she could be
Well she waited and told many lies
Before she turned her back on me

The Blue Horizon
The Blue Horizon Lyrics
by Johnny Shines
in E Blues.
Well look out baby
What you promised me
Well now look at here baby
Know what you promised me
Well the sun gone down
Down behind the tree
Well early this morning
I thought I heard the rooster crow for days
Well early this morning
I thought I heard rooster crow for days
Well all I was doing, tryin' to
Pass the time away
Well now early this morning I
'Fore the sun rise
Well early this morning
'Fore the sun begin to rise
Well I, me and my baby was
Takin' out a full day exercise
Well the sun gone down baby
You know what you promised me
Well the sun gone down and you
Know what you promised me
Well I want you to stick up
Do what you supposed to me
