DON’T LET THEM GRIND YOU DOWN by Gary Fletcher Sign me a paper – free me from these chains Sign me a paper – free me from these chains Well it’s been 12 long years since I sold my soul away And for those 12 long years someone’s gonna have to pay Found me a lawyer – gonna end my slavery Found me a lawyer – gonna end my slavery I’m gonna ask some heavy questions – gonna hit them to the ground I’m gonna ask some heavy questions – make their heads go round and round Ain’t no salvation – for a poor boy in this town Ain’t no salvation – for a poor boy in this town Well the lawyers take your money – and the company your life Yes the lawyers take your money – while the suits just twist the knife Oh yes the lawyers take your money – while the suits just twist the knife Don’t let the suits come get you – don’t let them grind you down Don’t let the suits come get you – don’t let them grind you down Don’t let the suits come get you – don’t let them grind you down Don’t let the suits come get you – don’t let them grind you down	SUS BLUES by Dave Kelly [verses not necessarily in same order as recording by BB.] When I left my home town trying to find a job for me (x2) I was walking down the street, the police arrested me Police he take me carry me 'fore the judge (x2) Judge was talkin so fast I couldn't hear nare a word Lawyer he pleaded judge he wrote it down (x2) Said I'll give you thirty days, boy I'm gonna send you down.

GREEN STUFF by Gary Fletcher (Chloe Songs Ltd) I ain’t got much money & I ain’t got much time But I sure got some trouble with this life of mine Behind with my payments, got the heat on my tail Police don’t believe me, put me in jail Could've used a little green stuff Could’ve used a little help Could’ve used a little green stuff Could’ve used a little wealth Could’ve used a little green stuff just to help myself Could’ve used a little green stuff just to mind my health Well whisky & women sure done me some harm A little juice & I’m wasted, fall easy to charm A ring on my finger, my name on the line She knows I’m just stupid an’ I wonder why Could’ve used a little green stuff Could’ve used a little help Could’ve used a little green stuff Could’ve used a little wealth Could’ve used a little green stuff just to help myself Could’ve used a little green stuff just to mind my wealth Now my money & my woman long gone out the door Got to get down to the track, I got to pick up some more Place a few bets, use the last of my cash My horse is still runnin’, they’re gonna turn me to trash Could’ve used a little green stuff Could’ve used a little help Could’ve used a little green stuff Could’ve used a little wealth Could’ve used a little green stuff just to help myself Could’ve used a little green stuff just to mind my health	SWING OUT DAVE by Tom McGuinness (Chloe Songs Ltd) There's a fellow in our band He's the best in all the land Bottleneck and a strong right hand Swing out Dave Once he drove a laundry truck Then he had a change of luck When The Blues Band called him up Swing out Dave Some men search for fortune Others seek for fame With Dave it's the music He plays those blues licks That's how he made his name Lets his fingers do the walking Lets his guitar do the talking In Cork, New York and Rolling Fork Swing out Dave When it's time to raise the heat Get the folks up on their feet The engine room lays down the beat Swing out Rob Oh no - it's the bass solo Some men search for fortune Others seek for fame Dave's played with Muddy John Lee and Buddy Helping to carry the flame Lets his fingers do the walking Lets his guitar do the talking In Cork, New York and deepest Dorking Swing out Let it ring out Swing out Dave
DOWN TO THE RIVER by Paul Jones I’m going down to the river to see how deep it is today Yes I’m going down to the river to see how deep it is today How much water’s in that river? Will it wash my blues away? I had to ask my baby’s pardon for the things I’d done to her Now detectives are tryin’ to figure was it suicide or murder? But I’m going down to the river to see how deep it is today How much water’s in that river? Will it wash my blues away? Police interrogation … Where were you that date and time? Man, to me that’s no kind of question I put her life so high above mine Please sir come down to the station just to tell us what you know What is your suggestion? What’s she done? And where did she go? I’m going down to the river to see how deep it is today Yeah I’m going down to the river myself to see how deep it is today How much water’s in that river? Will it wash my blues away?

GUITAR SONG by Dave Kelly/Tom McGuinness/Gary Fletcher (Paternoster Songs/Mann Music/Arone Songs) Sitting here staring at these four walls Six silver strings and four fat chords I opened up the door and golly G There was this goddess staring back at me I went for an F but she looked like A minor It was then that I thought well nothing could be finer She told me her name it was Caroline Now my favourite position? C six with a nine I plucked a few strings, she began to whine I knew by now I had her on the line She said Now honey well there ain’t no danger Don’t you realise I’m A Major? Well DDD, I’m as happy as a king Well she didn’t fret as I was slidin’ my thing Now all you people if you think it through Well EEE, the joke’s on you Now these four walls, yeah they’re my best friend ‘cause it all came good, came good in the end Yeah me & my l’il baby didn’t go too far Well she’s my love, she my life, my imagination, my guitar So all you pickers waiting in line Keep slidin’ that thing, you won’t go blind A few fat chords and I think you will find that the dirtiest part of your body is your mind	LOSING YOU PUT THE BLUES IN ME Lyrics: Dave Kelly/Tom McGuinness Music: Tom McGuinness Chloe Songs Ltd. Wake up each morning There’s a frown on my face Look across the bed See the same empty place The sun may be high but there’s clouds in my eyes It’s the losing you put the blues in me Friends try to tell me "It’s over – let her go" They’re trying to help me but they just don’t know Though we’re apart you still hold my heart It’s the losing you put the blues in me I try to drown my sorrows Drink like there’s no tomorrow I’m all alone come daybreak Just an empty bed and an aching head And heartaches fill my waking hours Mistakes I can see them now It’s over and done But you’re still the one It’s the losing you put the blues in me I fool myself I’m better But my heart won’t let me forget her That voice in my heart still haunts me And her perfume still fills my room And heartaches …..
TAKE ME TO THE RED LINE by Gary Fletcher Is there someone out there waiting, something that I’ve missed? I’ve seen it all on the tv … a whole world I’ve never kissed I’ve always been a regular guy Do what I’m told, I don’t ask why I love my mama, my papa too I always took their point of view I mind my manners and I eat real neat Never played games out in the street My books always told me to keep it safe, don’t walk on the cracks and know your place I worked real hard to come through school I wasn’t too smart but I broke no rules Got me a job right down at the bank But something’s a-changin’, got a tiger in my tank Take me to the red line Take me to the red line I want to feel the wind of change in my face I want to feel the chill of fear in the race I want to climb a mountain with no safety line I want to grab a hand just in time Take me to the red line Take me to the red line I want to taste the passion of a wild new heart I want to feel a love that shakes you apart I want to travel to where you can’t take a plane I want to find that edge where you’re almost insane Take me to the red line .....
