elvin bishop - calling all cows

I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh, just like the river, I been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will, look it here

It's been too hard living and I'm afraid to die
Look it here

I wish I could come out there where you are baby
A long time coming but I know
Look it here
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
Look it here

Let me say one more thing

Boy, it sure is a nice day today
I believe I'll go back out in the garden
And dig me up some worms
And go fishin'!

Alright, I got me a nice little spot
Picked out down there on the crick
Boy, them perch is bitin' like crazy
Pessir, powerful

I'm goin' fish-fish, fish-fish, fish-fish, fishin'
I'm goin' fishin', hook, sinker, an' line

Boy, I'm a-goin' fishin' just to ease my mind

Ya know, some folks say that fishin' on a sunday's a sin

If a fish bite my line on a sunday

Fry 'em up good an' have a ball
'Cause I don't see nothin wrong
With fishin' on sunday at all

Gonna sit up on the bank
Every time the fish starts to nibble

elvin bishop - fooled around and fell in love

I must have been through about a million girls
I'd love 'em then I'd leave 'em alone
I didn't care how much they cried, no sir
Their tears left me cold as a stone

But then I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love, yes I did
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love

It used to be when I'd see a girl that I liked
I'd get out my book and write down her name
Ah, but when the, the grass got a little greener over on the other side
I'd just tear out that page

I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love, since I met you baby
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love

------ guitar solo ------

Free, on my own is the way I used to be
Ah, but since I met you baby, love's got a hold on me
It's got a hold on me now
I can't let go of you baby

I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love, oh yes I did
I fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around,
fooled around, fooled around, fell in love
Fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around,
fooled around, fooled around, fell in love
I fooled around, fell in love
I fell in love, I fell in love, yes I did

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
Ol' bishop's's band
Playing that low down funk

Man you oughta see that little ol' juke joint jump
Jump, jump, jump, jump
We pulled our pick-up trucks
Right onto the lot
Walked back to the bar
An gotta double shot
Set down at a table
By the ladies room door
Checkin out the chicks
Comin' onto the floor
Everybody was mellow
Bout halfway drunk

Man you oughta seen that
That little ol' juke joint jump
Jump, jump, jump, jump
Big jim called johnny b
A little sawed off chump
Johnny b went outside
And opened up his trunk
Come back with a pistol
About as long as your leg
Big jim went on his knees
And he began to beg

Somebody threw a bottle
Knocked out the lights
Women started screamin'
And the men began to fight
Me an my buddy
Headed straight for the back door

My buddy made it but
I was alittle bit too slow
Woke up with my head all
All full of lumps
Man you oughta seen
That little ol juke joint jump
Jump, jump, jump, jump

elvin bishop - let it flow

Let it flow let it flow let it flow let it flow let it flow
Let it flow all around me let it flow
Up and down me from my head down
To my feet hey baby feels good to me

Let it flow let it flow let it flow let it flow let it flow

Birds chirping in the tress fish coming from the sea
Bees buzzin in the breeze
I got the music flowing all thru me

Let it flow let it flow let it flow let it flow let it flow

When I get ready to leave this earth
I wanna look back on my money's worth
I ain't gonna worry bout a doggone thing
Pick up my guitar and start to sing

Let it flow let it flow let it flow let it flow let it flow

elvin bishop - party till the cows come home

Kick out the windows bust down the doors
We're drinkin' half gallons and shoutin' for more
Take off your shoes and let yourself go
We're never gonna let these good times go
We're gonna boogie till the rooster crows

We'll be so high we can hardly see
We're gonna boogie till the rooster crows
We're gonna party till the cows come home
Let it roll ... Ah, let it roll...

Kick out the windows bust down the doors
We're drinking half gallons like never before
You gotta take off your shoes Mama let yourself go
Tonight we're gonna let these good times roll
We're gonna boogie till the rooster crows
We're gonna party till the cows come home
Let it roll ... Well, let it roll ... Let it roll... Let it roll...

She puts me in the mood
She puts me in the mood
Way down in the mud

What else can I do?
Cause she puts me in the mood
She puts me in the mood
Way down in the mud

Im building my house on the sand
I know that it might wash away
But let it fall or let it stand
This is all Iâ??ve got to say
She puts me in the mood
She puts me in the mood
Way down in the mud
Oh, she puts me in the mood
