"Madame Butterfly Blues" lyrics
"Madame Butterfly Blues"
(feat. Elvin Bishop)
Did you ever love a woman
So bad your heart cried mercy please?
Did you ever love a woman
So bad your heart cried mercy please?
Did you go down to her garden
Fell down on your knees?
Is she young? Is she pretty?
Does she like to get around?
Well, well, is she young? Is she pretty?
Does she like to get around?
You come in here lookin' for her
She's on the other side of town
Well, well, well, better put on, better put on
Better put on your walkin' shoes
Better put on, you better put on
Better put on your walkin' shoes
Kiss, kiss goodbye, kiss goodbye
The madame butterfly blues
Alright, alright
Alright
Yeah
When your train's bound for Heaven
Temptation's always so close at hand
When your train, when your train's bound for Heaven
Temptation's always close at hand
Because the devil's out to get you, devil's out to get you
Any goddamn way that he can
That's why, that's why
You better put on, better put on, put on
Better put on your walkin' shoes, walkin' shoes, walkin' shoes
You better put on, better put on
Better put on your walkin' shoes, walkin' shoes
Kiss goodbye, kiss goodbye, kiss goodbye
Madame butterfly blues, say it again
Better put on, better put on
Better put on your walkin' shoes
Better put on, better put on
Better put on your walkin' shoes
Kiss, kiss, kiss goodbye, kiss goodbye, kiss goodbye
The madame butterfly blues
We're gonna go one
We're gonna go one more time, one more time
Better, better, better put on, ow, better put on, haha
Better put on your walkin' shoes, walkin' shoes, walkin' shoes
Better, better, better put on, put on, put on, put on
Better put on your walkin' shoes, walkin' shoes, walkin' shoes, walkin' shoes
Kiss, kiss, kiss goodbye
The madame butterfly
Madame butterfly, madame butterfly blues

The Black Crowes - "Pharmacy Chronicles" Side two fillers, prescribed painkillers
Drowning in the grease paint, and the mirror don't lie
A minor scale, and a skeleton key
The words sound wise, but they mean nothing to me
And it's lust that...
Joe Jackson - "After All This Time" It's a crying shame, what you did to me
I know who's to blame, though you won't agree
Sounds like the start of yet another sad refrain
Another link in yet another broken chain
It's a sad affair,...
Old 97's - "Big River" Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you, big river
And I'm gonna sit right...
Hiss Golden Messenger - "In The Middle Of It" Even the rocks were dreaming
On that darkest of mornings
The Portland Rose, she kept on running
Runs so true
I was a voice in the chorus
Then the cornflower blue dropped me in the middle of it
In...
