The
Saint Louis Blues- Written by J.C. Handy-
click for
midi
I hate to see de ev'nin' sun go down,
Hate to see de ev'nin' sun go down
'cause ma baby, he done lef' dis town.
Feelin' tomorrow lak ah feel today,
feel tomorrow lak ah feel today,
I'll pack my trunk, make ma git away.
Saint Louis woman wid her diamon' rings
Pulls dat man 'roun' by her apron strings.
'Twant for powder an' for store-bought hair,
De man ah love would not gone nowhere, nowhere.
Got de Saint Louis Blues jes as blue as ah can be.
Dat man got a heart lak a rock cast in the sea.
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me.
I loves day man lak a schoolboy loves his pie,
Lak a Kentucky Col'nel loves his mint an' rye.
I'll love ma baby till the day ah die.
Been to de gypsy to get ma fortune tole,
To de gypsy, done got ma fortune tole,
'cause I'm most wile 'bout ma Jelly Roll.
Gypsy done tole me, "Don't you wear no black."
"Yes", she done told me, "Don't you wear no black.
Go to Saint Louis, you can win him back."
Help me to Cairo, make Saint Louis by maself,
Git to Cairo, find ma old friend Jeff,
gwine to pin maself close to his side;
If ah flag his train, I sho' can ride.
Got de Saint Louis Blues jes as blue as ah can be.
Dat man got a heart lak a rock cast in the sea.
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me.
I loves dat man lak a schoolboy loves his pie,
Lak a Kentucky Col'nel loves his mint an' rye.
I'll love ma baby till the day ah die.

Put your hand in the hand of the Man who stilled the water.

The
Slow Hand-Pointer Sisters/Twiddy
click for midi
As the midnight moon, was drifting
through
The lazy sway of the trees
I saw the look in your eyes, lookin' into
mine
Seeing what you wanted to see
Darlin' don't say a word, cause I already
heard
What your body's sayin' to mine
I'm tired of fast moves
I've got a slow groove...
On my mind
I want a man with a slow hand
I want a lover with an easy touch
I want somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
I want somebody who will understand
When it comes to love, I want a slow hand

Sailor
Man's Port in a Storm (Words
and music by Tom Lewis).
Chorus and first stanza (shanty)
All hands to the pumps!
(shanty man)
Well then tell us a story!
(sailor chorus)
All hands to the pumps!
(shanty man)
Well then sing us a song!
(chorus)
All hands to the pumps!
(shanty man)
And, I'll sing of the girls,
(")
They're a sailor man's port in a storm!
(sailors and shanty man in unison).
Now I've been in trouble the most of me
life
and I've been a filanderer since I was
born!
Before I had curls
I found out that the girls
were a sailor man's port in a storm!
Chorus
There's black girls there's white girls
there's thin girls there's bright girls
there's girls of all sizes all shape and
all form !
Free girls or hired
they all make you tired !
They're a sailor man's port in a storm!
Chorus
Through lonely night watches you're dreaming
of girls
whether beating the channel or rounding
the horn!
Married or single
they make your heart tingle
They're a sailor man's port in a storm!
Chorus

Clap
Hands
(Live version)
Wine, wine, why the goose drank wine
And the monkey chewed tobacco on a streetcar line
Now the line broke and the monkey got choked
And they all went to heaven in a little row boat
Clap hands
Sane, sane, they're all insane, fireman's blind, the conductor's lame
A Cincinnati jacket and a sad-luck dame
Hang out the window with a bottle full of rain
Clap hands, oh clap hands, oh clap hands, well clap hands
I said roar, it's the thunder and the roar
I ain't never coming back no more
There's a moon in the window, a bird on the pole
I can always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal(2)
Well clap hands baby, well clap hands, clap hands
I said dream, it's a hundred bad dreams
Going up to Harlem with a pistol in my jeans
A Cincinnati jacket and a sad-luck dame
Hanging out the window with a bottle full of rain
Now it's roar, it's the thunder and the roar
I ain't coming back no more
I got a moon in the window, a bird on the pole
I can always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal
Clap hands, well clap hands baby, well clap hands
Clap hands, clap hands
Shine, shine, a Roosevelt dime(3)
All the way to Baltimore and running out of time
Salvation Army seemed to wind up in the hole
All went to heaven in a little row boat
It's roar, it's the thunder and the roar
I ain't coming back no more
I got a moon in the window, a bird on the pole
I can always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal
Clap hands, well clap hands, clap hands
Clap hands, clap hands, clap hands
Clap hands, clap hands, clap hands
Clap hands, clap hands, clap hands
Clap hands, clap hands, clap hands
Clap hands, clap hands, clap hands
Clap hands, clap hands, clap hands
Written by: Tom Waits
(1)It’s originally a children’s clapping song, or maybe a rope-skipping
song: "Three, six, nine The goose drank wine The monkey chewed tobacco
on the street car line The line broke The monkey got choked And we
all went to heaven in a little row boat [clap two times] " (Submitted by
Ulf Berggren.
Listserv Raindogs discussionlist.
December, 1999)
(2)TW: "New York is like a weapon, you live with all these contradictions
and it's intense, sometimes unbearable... It's a place where you think
youshould be doing more about what you see around you, a place where the
deadline to get the picture of the bum outside your apartment becomes
more important than his deadline
to get a crust or a place to sleep, which is a real deadline. You see things
like the $ 400 shoe followed by the $500 ballgown stepping into the pool
of blood from the bum that was killed the night before. That's what I was
trying to get in that song 'Clap Hands' - "You can always find a millionaire
to shovel all the coal" because millionair es like to go places that are
downbeat, that aren't so chi chi." ("Hard Rain". New Musical Express: Gavin
Martin. October 19, 1985)
(3)Roosevelt dime: U.S. coin denomination: 10-cent. All of the U.S. coins
currently minted portray past U.S. Presidents. They are the Lincoln
one-cent piece, adopted in 1909; the 25-cent piece portraying Washington,
first minted in 1932; the five-cent piece honouring Jefferson, adopted
in 1938; the Franklin D. Roosevelt dime, introduced in 1946; and the Kennedy
half-dollar, which appeared in 1964. Coin denominations: 25-cent,
10-cent, five-cent, and one-cent pieces, are familiarly known as the quarter,
dime, nickel, and penny. ( )(Source= http://users.castel.nl/~hartp02/Lyricsfiles/Bigtime/Claphands.htm)

Second Hand Rose
click
for midi sound
I'm wearing second-hand hats,
Second-hand clothes
That's why they call me second-hand rose
Even the piano in the parlor,
Daddy bought for ten cents on the dollar.
Second-hand pearls,
I'm wearing second-hand curls
I never get a single thing that's new
Even Jake the plumber he's the man I adore
Has the nerve to tell me he's been married before
Everyone knows that I'm just second-hand rose
From second avenue.

Never
Let Your Left Hand Know What Your Right Hand
Do
(Lil Johnson?)
Transcribed from Lil Johnson, recorded April 23, 1929.
From Lil Johnson, Complete Recorded Works in Chronological Order, Vol.
1: 23 April 1929 - 22 April 1936; Document Records DOCD-5307.
I had the blues last night, I've got 'em again today,
My man told me he was going away.
Trouble, trouble, is all I can see,
Looks like my man has turned his back on me.
Just let me tell you what your friends will do:
Spit in your face and then they'll talk about you.
Me and my girlfriend, went out for a little run,
When she see my man, she told him what I had done.
Bring me a pint of whiskey, and a bottle of beer.
If I get drunk, I sure don't care.
Spoken: Harmonize me, Daddy! Oh, run into me, but don't hurt me!
Take me back, baby; try me one more time;
I'd do everything to satisfy your mind.
Listen, people, to what I'm telling you:
Don't let your left hand know what your right hand do.

My
Handy Man
Transcribed from vocals by Ethel Waters, acc. by James P. Johnson, recorded
1929;
From Them Dirty Blues, Mojo 303.
Whoever said a good man was hard to find,
Postively, absolutely sure was blind;
I found the best that ever was,
Here's just some of the things he does:
He shakes my ashes, greases my griddle,
Churns my butter, strokes my fiddle;
My man is such a handy man!
He threads my needle, creams my wheat,
Heats my heater, chops my meat;
My man is such a handy man!
Don't care if you believe or not,
He sure is good to have around;
Why, when my furnace gets too hot,
He's right there to turn my damper down!
For everything he's got a scheme;
You ought to see his new starter that he uses on my machine;
My man is such a handy man!
He flaps my flapjacks, cleans off the table, He feeds the horses in
my stable; My man is such a handy man!
He's God's gift!
Sometimes he's up long before dawn,
Busy trimming the rough edges off my lawn;
Oooh, you can't get away from it! He's such a handy man!
Never has a single thing to say,
While he's working hard;
I wish that you could see the way
He handles my front yard!
My ice don't get a chance to melt away,
He sees that I get that old fresh piece every day;
Lord, that man sure is such a handy man!

Every
Hand In The Land
Words and Music Arlo Guthrie
Every hand in the land
Shakes along with me
It don't seem that I can dream
Like I used to dream
Maybe that somebody is shaking me
If I fell I could tell
It may be that somebody is making me
Dream that you're forever
Gone away from me
Every toe that I know
Step away with me
I can't seem to get where
I want to be
Maybe it's my own foot
That keeps tripping me
Trip trap - flip flap
It must come to wherever from it comes
Through to me
I can't walk to where
My own dreams talk to me
Every face in this place
Take your eyes away
Blink if you think that
There's another way
Maybe it's my own eyes
That don't see the way
The time is blind
It may come to pass
That I will lose my mind
I can't live without the love I left behind
I can't live without the love I left behind

Come on, you children, gather around -
Gather around, you children.
And we will lose that evil spirit
Called the Voodoo.
Nothin' but trouble, if he has found,
If he has found you, children -
But you can chase the Hoodoo
With the dance that you do.
Let me lead the way.
Jubilee today! Say!
He'll never hound you:
Stamp on the ground, you children!
Come on!
Refrain:
Clap-a yo' hand! Slap-a yo' thigh!
Halleluyah! Halleluyah!
Ev'rybody come along and join the Jubilee.
Clap-a yo' hand! Slap-a yo' thigh!
Don't you lose time! Don't you lose time!
Come along - it's Shake Yo' Shoes Time
Now for you and me!
On the sands of time
You are only a pebble;
Remember, trouble must be treated
Just like a rebel;
Send him to the Debbie!
Clap-a yo' hand! Slap-a yo' thigh!
Halleluyah! Halleluyah!
Ev'rybody come along and join the Jubilee.

Hand
Me Down World
The Guess Who
Written by Kurt Winter
- peaked at #17 in 1970
Anybody here see the noise, see the fear
and commotion
I think we missed it
Anybody here see the love, see the hate,
the emotion
Don't give me no hand me down
shoes
Don't give me no hand me
down love
Don't give me no hand me
down world
I got one already
Anybody here see the long-distance cheer
for the notion
Well, I think we missed it
Anybody here see the sky weepin' tears
for the ocean
Don't give me no hand me down
shoes
Don't give me no hand me
down love
Don't give me no hand me
down world
I got one already
------ lead guitar ------
Anybody here see the fuzzy-wuzzy lovin'
cup explosion
I think we missed it
Anybody here see the changing of the year
and emotion
Don't give me no hand me down
shoes
Don't give me no hand me
down love
Don't give me no hand me
down world
I got one already
(Don't give me no hand me down world)
I don't really need it and
I'm not gonna take it
(Don't give me no hand me down world)
A-don't give it to me 'cause
I really don't want it
(Don't give me no hand me down world)
I don't wanna take it and
I really don't need it, no
(Don't give me no hand me down world)
I don't wanna take it and
I really don't need it
(Don't give me no hand me down world)
I don't wanna take it, I
don't wanna take it 'cause I really don't need it
(Don't give me no hand me down world)
You know I don't want it,
know I don't need it
(Don't give me no hand me down world)
You know I don't want it,
know I don't need it
(Don't give me no hand me down world)
You know I don't want it
and I'm not gonna take it
(Don't give me no hand me down world)
I don't wanna take it 'cause
I don't really need it
(Don't give me no hand me down world)
Just don't give it to me,
don't wanna take it
(Don't give me no hand me down world)
Gimme no, gimme no, no-no
no-no-no
(Don't give me no hand me down world)
Don't wanna take it 'cause
I don't really need it
