Hey everybody, I'm is talkin' to you I ain't tellin' you jivin', this is the natural truth Mm-mm-mm, I got them Eisenhower blues Thinkin' about me and you, what on earth are we gon' do? My money's gone, my fun is gone The way things look, how can I be here long? Mm-mm-mm, I got them Eisenhower blues Thinkin' about me and you, what on earth are we gon' do? Taken all my money, to pay the tax I'm only givin' you peoples, the natural facts I only tellin' you people, my belief Because I am headed straight, on relief Mm-mm-mm, I got them Eisenhower blues Thinkin' about me and you, what on earth are we gon' do? Ain't go a dime, ain't even got a cent I don't even have no money, to pay my rent My baby needs some clothes, she needs some shoes Peoples I don't know what is I'm gon' do Mm-mm-mm, I got them Eisenhower blues Thinkin' about me and you, what on earth are we gon' do?

Korea Blues 03:09
Lord, I got my questionnaire Uncle Sam's gonna send me away from here Lord, I got my questionnaire Uncle Sam's gonna send me away from here He said, "J. B. you know that I need you Lord, I need you in South Korea" Sweetheart, please don't you worry I just begin to fly in the air Sweetheart, please don't you worry I just begin to fly in the air Now the Chinese shoot me down Lord, I'll be in Korea somewhere

They say the Whale swallowed Jonah Out in the deep blue sea Sometimes I get that feeling That same old Whale has swallowed me The sun rise in the East Goes down in the West Sometimes I get that feeling Every creature needs some rest I believe the Whale got sick That's why I have this blues I do believe one day He will finally turn me loose Now if I live I pray, I don't get killed I do believe one day I will crawl out of here

My mother and daddy live on a high hill Way on that Mississippi road My mother and daddy live on a high hill Way on that Mississippi road Sometimes I would walk down cry and wonder Whistle where one day I must go My mother and daddy work so hard Until their clothes was wet with sweat My mother and daddy work so hard Until their clothes was wet with sweat And come time from the sell-up get paid from the master They wouldn't ever come out of debt Sometime I sit down and wonder Why I was the only child she had Sometime I sit down and wonder Why I was the only child she had Sometime I think about the way she was mistreated And that's what makes me feel so bad Before my mother, she died She used to hang her head and cry Before my mother, she died She used to hang her head and cry She said, "Lord have mercy, have mercy on my little child" She said, "Lord have mercy, have mercy on my little..."

Feelin' Good 03:04
Feelin' good, feelin' good All the money in the world spent on feelin' good A wino met me in the street He said, "Help me on some Sneakin' Pete" "Please help me brother, I wish you would" "I feel so bad and I wanna feel good" Feelin' good, feelin' good All the money in the world spent on feelin' good Riding around with friends Cadillac and everything All the fine dreams Lemonade and everythin' Feelin' good, feelin' good All the money in the world spent on feelin' good Feelin' good, feelin' good All the money in the world spent on feelin' good You know all your fine things A big Cadillac and everything All they're making diamond rings The expenses are all a dream Feelin' good, feelin' good All the money in the world spent onl feelin' good
