The Devils Right Hand 02:13
lyrics
buy track
Some say he's made of steel Others say he's made of more They say he was born in hell fire Down by the earths core He'll kill you where you stand Call him the devils right hand He hunts men for money He'll hunt them down for less If you need to do some killing Then you better hirer the best. He'll kill you where you stand Call him the devils right hand Don't you try running Ain't no use trying to hide He'll find you right quickly And he'll surely skin your hide He'll kill you where you stand Call him the devils right hand Now you better heed my warning If you value your life Don't go doing no evil Or he'll hunt you day and night He'll kill you where you stand Call him the devils right hand He'll kill you where you stand Call him the devils right hand

The Man 03:10
lyrics

Travelling back home from the life I have on loan, Travelling back ho--me from the life I have on loan, To the man in the big tower Never Felt this alone , man I can feel it in my bones From my head to my toes , someone stole my soul She’s not gonna wait forever Ya see the man from that big tower I feel his pain, He tries to be tough and he tries strong But justLike me hes sad and alone And we both ride the same slow train drinking as we go Every bump in the track the more whiskey that flows Both in love with girls who we leave in pain How high is that ivory tower , what the price for fame? How many people did it cost you for everyone to know your name? Our money is different but our pain is just the same We’re Travelling back home from the life we have on loan, Travelling back ho--me from the life we have on loan, To the man in the sky above till he cuts us down

Bottom Bottle Blues 02:58
lyrics

Its been about a week since my baby left me, And now my heartbreak is killing me, She took everything, even my own damn dog, She left my dancing shoes & bottom bottle blues I woke up one morning and she wasn't there, I screamed out Lord this isn't fair, I called out her name but i knew she wouldn't come So i hit the bar to cue my bottom bottle blues Went up to the bar an ordered a beer, Bartender said son what you doing here you should be at home with your beautiful girl thats there I said she left me mister with these bottom bottle blues Stayed at the bar till near closing time, I had to drink her off my mind bartender said please son you gotta go home Said i can't go back their with these bottom bottle blues Its been about a week since my baby left me, Now I m so drunk that i can't see, She took everything, even my own damn dog, She left my dancing shoes & bottom bottle blues She left my dancing shoes & bottom bottle blues She left my dancing shoes & bottom bottle blues She left my dancing shoes & bottom bottle blues

I heard a jumping little jive just playing on the radio, I could feel it in my bones and it made me wanna go go go, I grabbed my dancing shoes and my best gal too cause it made me want to shake off my rhythm & blues shake off my rhythm & blues shake off my rhythm & blues shake off my rhythm & blues shake off my rhythm & blues Its called rock & roll, you know it soothes my soul cause it made me want to shake off my rhythm & blues When the song finished playing I called up my local DJ I told he about the song he just had to play He said i sorry but i can't ok I've already play that song like 40 times today shake off my rhythm & blues shake off my rhythm & blues shake off my rhythm & blues shake off my rhythm & blues Its called rock & roll, you know it soothes my soul cause it made me want to shake off my rhythm & blues As quick as i could i ran to the record store, I got there just in time as the man was just closing the door when they didn't have the record i began to shout the man said i'm sorry but we're all sold out shake off my rhythm & blues shake off my rhythm & blues shake off my rhythm & blues shake off my rhythm & blues Its called rock & roll, you know it soothes my soul cause it made me want to shake off my rhythm & blues shake off my rhythm & blues shake off my rhythm & blues shake off my rhythm & blues shake off my rhythm & blues Its called rock & roll, you know it soothes my soul cause it made me want to shake off my rhythm & blues

Lorretta why you gotta be cruel Lorretta why you gotta be cruel Why did you do those things that you like to do Lorretta I'm down on my knees Lorretta I'm down on my knees Just don't go, I m begging of you please Well my baby left me at about half past five I don't know if I'll make it through alive I spent the night pacing at the floor Cause i know i won't see her face no more, She walked out my door, I don't know what to do Cause she left me with the heartbreak blues, Lorretta oh don't be a tease Lorretta oh don't be a tease You're playing with my heart, don't break it please Lorretta you set my heart aflame, Lorretta you set my heart aflame, You leave me wanting more and calling out your name, Lorretta why you gotta be cruel Lorretta why you gotta be cruel Why did you do those things that you like to do Lorretta I'm down on my knees Lorretta I'm down on my knees Just don't go, I m begging of you please
