Nurse cried "Can't save his soul,"
Accused him for murder, first degree,

When everybody's tryin' to sleep,
I'm somewhere makin' my midnight creep¡
Every morning the rooster crow,
Something tell me I got to go.
Verse 5
Cop's wife cried, "Don't kick him down,
Rather be dead, six feet in the ground."
When you come home you can eat pork and beans¡
I eat more chicken any man seen.

Verse 4
It thundered and it lightened and the winds began to blow. (Twice)
There was a thousand women didn't have no place to go.
Verse 5
I went out to the lonesome, high old lonesome hUI. (Twice)
I looked down on the old house where I used to Uve.
Verse 6
Backwater blues have caused me to pack up my things and go. (Twice)

Verse 2
Sun lights up the daytime,
Moon lights up the night.
I light up when you call my name,
And you know I'm gonna treat you right.
You give me fever when you kiss me,
Fever when you hold me tight¡
Fever in the morning,
Fever all through the night.
Verse 4
Romeo loved Juliet,
Juliet she felt the same¡
When he put his arms around her, he said
'Julie, baby, you're my flameo
Thou givest fever when we kisseth,
Fever with thy flaming youth.
Fever, I'm atire¡
Fever, yea, I burn forsooth!"
Verse S
Captain Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affai r¡
When her daddy tried to kili him, she said
"Daddy-o, don't you dare!
He gives me fever with his kisses,
Fever when he holds me tight.
Fever, I'm his missus¡
Oh, Daddy, won't you treat him right'?"
Repeat Verse 3
Verse 6
Now you've listened to my story,
Here's the point that I have made:
Chicks were born to give you fever,
Be it fahrenheit or centigrade!
They gi ve you fe ver when you kiss them,
Fever if you live and learn¡
Fever till you sizzle -
What a lovely way to burn!

Verse 2
When 1 wasjust a baby, my mama told me "Son,
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns."
But I shot a man in Reno,just to watch him die.
When I hear that whistle blowin', 1 hang my head and cry.
Verse 3
l bet there's rich folk eatin' in a fancy dinin' car;
They're prob'ly drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars.
Well, 1know l had it comin', l know l can't be free;
But those people keep a-movin', and that's what tortures me.
Verse 4
Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine,
l bet I'd move to over a little farther down the line;
Far from FoIsom Prison, that's where l want to sta y,
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.

Verse 3
If you want to hear me rave, honey, give me what I crave.
It makes my love come down, actin' like a clown.
Can't help from braggin', it makes my love come down.
Come on and be my desert sheik, you're so strong and I'm so weak.
It makes my love come down, to be love-Iand bound.

Verse 4
If you want me for your own, kiss me nice and leave me alone.
It makes my love come down, it makes my love come down.
Take me bye-bye, it makes my love come down.
When you take me for a ride, when I'm close up by your side,
It makes my love come down, ridin' all around.

Jack Long
Jack Long's career began in his teens when he played piano with many luminaries ofthe British jazz world.
He first came to the attention of the music industry in the 19705 as a big band arranger with his transcriptions
of some of the c1assic American recordings in this genre - all still widely played today.
He has since acted as musical director for several well·known entertainers, notably Ray EIIington, and worked as a session
pianist and accompanist, while combining a parallel career in contemporary 'serious' music, editing for a number
of publishers, including Chester and Novello, and composers such as Alexander Goehr. His own compositions have featured
in film and television productions along with a wide range of original material for innumerable singers, producers
