upRed Hot

Well I got a girl she's six feet tall
Sleeps in the kitchen with her feet in the hall
She's red hot (2 x)
She's a red hot mama
Do the boogie all night long

Well, shake it to the right, shake it to the left
She's the woman I love the best
She's red hot ...

She's red hot ...

I love the way, the way she walks
Makes a blind man see, a dumb man talk
She's red hot ...

She's red hot ...

Well, I got a girl, she's ninetenn years
Boy, sure she's shiftin' gear
She's red hot ...

She's red hot ...

I got a girl she's six feet tall
Sleeps in the kitchen with her feet in the hall
She's red hot ...

She's red hot ...

upGirl From The North Country
(Bob Dylan)

Well, if you're travellin' in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
She was once a true love of mine

Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see for me if she wears a coat so warm
To keep her from the howlin' winds

Please see for me if her hair hangs long
If it rolls and flows all down her breast
Please see for me if her hair hangs long
That's the way I remember her best

I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all
Many times I've often prayed
In the darkness of my night
In the brightness of my day
(This verse was skipped in this live-version)

So if you're travellin' in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

upDiddi Wah Diddi
(Traditional)

Oh diddi wah diddi
Diddi wah diddi
Won't anybody tell me what diddi wah diddi means

Ah, life is great big mystery
And sure does worry me
It's diddi wah diddi ...

Oh late last night when I walked around
Look who is back in town
With his diddi wah diddi ...

I went to church put my hat on the seat
Sister sittin' on it said "Sure look sweet"
And her diddi wah diddi ...

Said "Sister, sister, I'd soon be gone
Gimme that thing you're sittin' on"
Oh diddi wah diddi

Ah, life is great big mystery
And sure does worry me
It's diddi wah diddi ...

upC. C. Rider
(Traditional)

C. C. Rider, oh see what you done done (2 x)
You made me love you and now your man done gone

Now if the river was whiskey and I was a divin' duck (2 x)
I would dive to the bottom, Lordie, I would never come up

C. C. Rider ...

If you see me coming, hoist your window high (2x)
And if you see me goin' hang down your head and cry

C. C. Rider ...

upTears Are Rolling
(Hans Theessink)

Tears are rolling down like showers of rain (2x)
I've been cryin' cryin' cryin' but my cryin' been in vain

Nights are lonesome without your sweet caress (2x)
Since you been gone gone gone gone gone - my soul on fire, no rest

Like a woodowl hollerin', flyin' through the night onto it's nest (2x)
Oh fly right back baby - you're the one I love best

Tears are rolling down like showers of rain (2x)
I've been cryin' cryin' cryin' but my cryin' been in vain

upSweet Home Chicago
(Robert Johnson)

Said "Come on, baby, do you wanna go (2 x)
Back to the great big bity
Sweet home Chicago"

One and one is two
Two and two is four
I'm going to Chicago
To get myself some more

Said "Come on ..."

Two and two is four
Four and two is six
I'm going to Chicago
To get my business fixed

Said "Come on ..."

Two dollars in my pocket
Gonna grab you by the hand
Make it to the depot, get some tickets
From the depot-man

Said "Come on ..."
