"Connecticut Blues" lyrics
"Connecticut Blues"
I put some potatoes in to bake
Picked up a couple of real nice steaks
I'm chillin' her favorite Chilean wine
Everything was right on time
But she won't be comin' home tonight
They canceled the flight
Now you can imagine my disappointment in hearin' that
Looks like dinner's just gonna be me and a cat
This has happened to me just too many times
I feel like I'm payin' for somebody else's crime
So as I sip the wine and whine
I got the low-down, snow-bound Connecticut blues
The part I love to hate the most
Is getting more of somethin' I can't use
I've got tears runnin' down my face
I've got blues all over the place
The good times just won't let me in
I tried over and over again
So as I sip the wine and whine
I got them low-down, snow-bound Connecticut blues

Elvin Bishop - "Juke Joint Jump" There's a jumpin' little juke joint
Way out in the sticks
Half a mile down a dirt road
Off a highway six
Ain't near no town
Ain't close to no city
Those folks get down
Til it's a doggone pity

I love some turkey, but I don't eat lamb
No sweet potato, but I do like ham

The Neville Brothers - "Fire On The Bayou" Fire on the bayou, fire on the bayou
Fire on the bayou, fire on the bayou
Down in New Orleans in Lucky's din
He wouldn't deal y'all for a 5th of gin
One dude wanted a bottle of wine
Hit that dude,...
Rodney Crowell - "Stars On The Water" Down in Louisiana, bayous by and by
Pirogue pole or your natural soul
Keeps you tied to a tree high tide
Beer joint lights come on
And then the crowd starts rollin' in
Pretty soon you got stars...
