One of These Days You Can Count On Me (To Do My Part) If You Live Was Look Here City Home No Trouble Livin' Benediction Back On the Corner Tell Me Something I Don't Want Much News Nightclub Perfect Moment Also: Parchman Farm Gettin' There One Room Country Shack Fool's Paradise I'll Nver be Free One of These Days (Mose Allison) One of these days I've got to get things right I'm gonna do my business in th' daylight One of these days you know I've got to get things right I'm gonna do my business out in the broad daylight One of these days I've got to get things straight I'm gonna stop acting like a reprobate One of these days you know I've got to get things straight I'm gonna stop staying out late And acting like a reprobate One of these days I've got to get in step It won't be long 'fore I'll be needin' help One of these days you know I've got to get in step The way I'm going baby I'll be needin' help One of these days I've got to go back home Sit out on my front porch and compose a poem One of these days you know I've got to go back home I'm gonna sit out on my front porch, rock away compose a poem Top You Can Count On Me (To Do My Part) (Mose Allison) Let's talk it over, let's get get it straight Don't let th' situation escalate You know there's always problems when a man is wrapped up in his art But don't you worry baby you can count on me to do my part You keep on working, I'm looking round Don't let your girlfriend put me down You know it's tough these days for a proud man to make a start But don't you worry baby you can count on me to do my part You wash the dishes, I've gotta run You know that night life ain't such fun Now don't wait up for me 'cause I know you need your rest, sweetheart But don't you worry baby you can count on me to do my part Top If You Live (Mose Allison) If you live your time will come I say if you live your time will come So child don't mess with that cotton sack It will scratch your knees and bend your back And if you live your time will come If you live your day will come If you live your day will come So child don't play with those pots and pans They will soon enough ruin your pretty hands And if you live your time will come If you live a day will come If you live a day will come When the sun will shine And the crops will grow And you think you're not gonna worry no more But if you live, your time will come Top Was (Mose Allison) When I become was and we become were Will there be any sign or a trace of th' lovely contour of your face And will there be someone around With essentially my kinda sound When am turns to was and now is back when Will someone have moments like this Moments of unspoken bliss And will there be heroes and saints Or just a dark new age of complaints When I become was and we become were Will there be any Susans and Ralphs Lookin' at old photographs And wondering aloud to a friend Top Look Here (Mose Allison) Look here, what you think you gon' be doin' next year No lie, how you know you no gon' up and die No doubt, soon enough your friends will find you out Take care you know you might not have much time to spare I say, how long have you acted up this way What know, when you gonna get your own floor show I'm hip, you could use a button on your lip Look here, what you think you gon' be doin' next year Top City Home (Mose Allison) I'm thinkin' 'bout a place I'm waitin' for the day When I will make my get away Because as any fool can see There's nothin' here for me but Hurry up boy bring that water Don't do things you shouldn't oughta But when I go away and find my easy street I'll have a smile for all I meet And they will welcome me I know Everywhere I go No more thinkin' that I've missed it How can anyone resist it And there's a chance That I will find my big romance When I get to my city home But when I go away And find my easy street I'll have a smile for all I meet And they will welcome me I know Everywhere I go I'll see the town in all its glitter How could anyone be bitter And there's a chance That I will find my big romance When I get to my city home Top No Trouble Livin' (Mose Allison) Don't talk to me 'bout life problems or How you wish that things could be 'Cause I don't have no trouble livin' It's jus' dyin that bothers me Don't offer me no sad stories or Tell me that you're all at sea 'Cause I don't have no trouble livin' It's jus' dyin that bothers me You doin' great You gettin' straight You get your call That's all So don't tell me your misgivings Or not to be or not to be 'Cause I don't have no trouble livin' It's jus' dyin that bothers me You doin' fine You sippin' wine You feel a pain Last train So don't tell me your misgivings Or blame it on the referree 'Cause I don't have no trouble livin' It's jus' dyin that bothers me Top Benediction (Mose Allison) My message this evenin' Is simple indeed Wherever you wander Whatever your breed There's just one thing baby That comes from above When push comes to shove Thank God for self love Thank Him, Thank Him God for self love Thank Him, Thank Him God for self love When push comes to shove Thank God for self love When livin' gets heavy And hope starts to fade You just can't continue That old masquerade Remember the power that comes from above When push comes to shove Thank God for self love Thank Him, Thank Him God for self love Thank Him, Thank Him God for self love When push comes to shove Thank God for self love Top Back On The Corner (Mose Allison) I'm back on th' corner I'm right back on th' corner I've been in this condition so many times before Back by my lonesome I'm right back by my lonesome Just watching th' people going from door to door I've got to change my ways And try to quit this place 'Cause one of these rainy days I'm gonna need a friendly face I'm back on th' corner I'm right back on th' corner I've been in this condition so many times before I've got to change my ways And try to quit this place 'Cause one of these rainy days I'm gonna be a mental case Top Tell Me Something (Mose Allison) You say the world is mad You say that you've been had You don't like your part in the floor show You say it's all a bust There's no one you can trust Well, tell me something that I don't know You say the world's a mess It's anybody's guess As to who will deliver that low blow You suffer from the strain You don't dig pain Well, tell me something that I don't know You say there's some mistake You didn't get your break You don't see the magic in the moonglow You're on a one way street Your life is incomplete Well, tell me something that I don't know You're uptight It ain't right Well, tell me something that I don't know Top I Don't Want Much (Mose Allison) I don't want much in this world It's th' simple things I treasure 'Till I die I would get by on fame, riches and sensual pleasure I don't ask much in this life No special consideration Just treat me like His Majesty Of a friendly OPEC nation Some people Just don't know when to stop Some people Just won't quit until they reach the top But I'm so easy going I'd make my way through life On love and understanding From a rich and beautiful life Some people Just never seem to get enough Some people Want salvation, paradise and all that stuff But I'm so easy going Don't even keep the score All I want is plenty, but I will take more If you ask me I will take more Say please I will Take more Top News Nightclub (Mose Allison) Been workin' in nightclubs so long, can hardly stand the break of day Been workin' in nightclubs so long, can hardly stand the break of day Run down rooms and bad places But it's still the only way Gonna be here through Sunday evening, be someplace else on Tuesday night Gonna be here through Sunday evening, be someplace else on Tuesday night If I get home with all my money Everything will be alright If I had a million dollars, I'd sit right down and relax If I had a million dollars, I'd sit right down and relax I'd go off and buy myself a nightclub And write it off my income tax Top Perfect Moment (Mose Allison) Sunset glow from a hill Let it flow take your fill Such a perfect moment Mona Lisa smile One such perfect moment Makes it all worthwhile Autumn night crystal clear Mystic night seems so near Such a perfect moment Nothin' you can say One such perfect moment Gets you through the day Mountain sheen, ocean shine Miocene valentine One such perfect moment Never twice th' same Such a perfect moment Will keep you in th' game Top Parchman Farm (Mose Allison) I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm. I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm. I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm, Ain't never done no man no harm. Well, I'm putting that cotton in a never-full sack. Well, I'm putting that cotton in a never-full sack. Well, I'm putting that cotton in a never-full sack, A twelve-gauge shotgun at my back. I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm. I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm. I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm, Ain't never done no man no harm. Top Gettin' There (Mose Allison) It takes a lot to piss me off But once I'm there, it's hard to cool me down Take as lot to piss me off So why you want to go and do that now? It takes a lot odf effort and time To push me over that line Take a lot to piss me off But you're gettin' there It takes a lot to piss me off If I get mad, I feel like a jerk It takes a lot to piss me off So why do you want to do that much work? I lose my temper, and then It's hard to find it again It takes a lot to piss me off So why you gotta piss me off It takes a lot to piss me off But you're gettin' there Top One Room Country Shack (Mose Allison) Sittin' here, thousand miles from nowhere In this one room country little shack Sittin' here, thousand miles from nowhere In this one room country little shack My only worldly possession is a ragged ol' 'leven foot cotton sack I wake up every night 'bout midnight People, I just can't sleep no more I wake up every night 'bout midnight People, I just can't sleep no more Only crickets and frogs to keep me company And the wind howlin' 'round my door I'm gonna leave here early in the mornin' I'm 'bout to go out of my mind I'm gonna leave here early in the mornin' I'm 'bout to go out of my mind I'm gonna find me some kind of a companion Even if she's dumb, deaf, cripple and blind Top Fool's Paradise (Mose Allison) Sometimes, I wonder by what's life I've lives It's a wonder that I ain't dead Drinking and gambling, staying out all night Just living is a fool's paradise My momma told me and my papa said it too He said, "Son, fate is bound to catch up with you If you keep on drinking and gambling Stay out all night, just living is a fool's paradise" Well, I've learned my lesson Just like all fools I've met Something I've seen in this old world I would like to forget My momma told me, my papa said it right He said, "Son, you're gonna drive right out of sight If you keep on drinking and gambling Staying out all night, just living in a fool's paradise" My momma told me, she sat right down, cried She said, "Son, you're just committing suicide If you keep on drinking and gambling Staying out all night, just living in a fool's paradise" You're just living in a fool's paradise Top
