I'll Take Care Of You

"I know you've been hurt by someone else 
I can tell by the way you carry yourself 
But if you let me here's what I'll do 
I'll take care of you 

I I've loved and lost the same as you 
so you see I know just what you've been through 
But if you'll let me here's what I'll do 
I just got to take care of you 

You won't ever have to worry 
you won't ever have to cry 
For I'll be there beside you 
to dry your weepin' eyes 

So darling tell me that you'll be true 
For there is no doubt in my mind 
I know what I want to do 
And just as sure as one and one is two 

you know I'll take care of you..." 



Junior Wells & Buddy Guy    ''I'll take care of you '' 

Wind Cries The Blues

I hoped I'd never ever have to know
What it's like to let you go
And I can't turn back but it's hard to forget
Getting over you is the hardest thing
I haven't done yet

Why does the wind cry the blues
Every time I think of you
How do I face another day
How will I find a way

When the wind cries the blues for you
I knew it wouldn't be easy
Yeah, it's a struggle alright
I didn't think my heart would put up such a fight
You know I can't turn back and I've got my regrets
But this getting over you is the hardest thing
I haven't done yet Why does the wind cry the blues

Why does the wind cry the blues
Every time I think of you
How do I face another day
How will I find a way
When the wind cries the blues for you..




Wind Cries The Blues ~ TERESA JAMES

Me, My Gitar and the Blues

I ain't gonna worry about tomorrow,
gonna let every day stand on its own.
Ain't gonna worry about tomorrow,
gonna let every day stand on its own.
You know tomorrow still be here,
and we all could be dead and gone.

I ain't gonna worry about you, baby,
I ain't gonna worry no more.
I ain't gonna worry about you, baby,
Lord, I ain't gonna worry no more.

It seems like you don't want me, woman,
and I know I got to pay my dues.
It's just me, my gitar and the blues.
It's just me, my gitar and the blues.
Ain't gonna worry no more.
Ain't gonna worry, baby.
Lord, I ain't gonna worry no more.

It's just me, my gitar and the blues.
Walking away from you baby.
It's just me, my gitar and the blues.
I got to go, I'm leaving.

Jimmy Dawkins - Me, My Gitar and the Blues

I wonder

Am I long way from your heart,
I wonder,
Is this where love is, heartache starts,
I wonder,

I wonder if you ever think about me,
And how good our old loving used to be,
Sometimes,
Sometimes I wonder

When you left with one last curious look,
I wonder,
I tried to call you,
You changed the number on me,
I really wonder

You tell me things to get me where you want me to be,
How come I feel your getting the best of me,
Sometimes,
I wonder

I hear a car coming round the corner,
I hear footsteps on my front porch,
I see a shadow from the light above,
I hear a voice,
Oh it's not yours

Why does this happen,
What's going on,
I wonder,
Could this be a dream,
Or has Bob gone crazy,
I wonder,

How come I feel your taking advantage of me,
Why can't I get you out of me,
Sometimes,
Sometimes I wonder

They say that time will heal my broken heart,
I wonder,
Could it be that I'm blind,
All alone in the dark,
I wonder

I can't help feeling this way,
If I could leave, I'd surely leave today,
Sometimes,
I wonder

It seems to me you still wanna be around
But when I see you, all hell starts breaking down,
Sometimes,
I wonder

mm hmm
I really wonder.

Robert Gray ''I wonder''  

I can't quit you baby - Willie Dixon

Well, I can't quit you baby
But I got to put you down a little while
Well, I can't quit you baby
But I got to put you down a little while
Well, you done made me mess up my happy home
Made me mistreat my only child
Ah, when you hear me moanin' and groanin'
Whoa, you know it hurts me way down inside
Whoa when you hear me moanin' and groanin'
You know it hurts way down inside 

Oh, when you hear me howlin'
Ooh, you know my love will never die, alright
Well, when you see me cryin'
Don't let my tears fall in vain
Well, when you see me cryin, darlin'
Please don't let my tears fall in vain
Lord, I don't know what to do
You know my heart is filled with pain
Alright, alright
Whoa, when you hear me howlin', baby
You know it hurts way down inside

κι μία δυνατή λάιβ εκτέλεση από τη Sara Zaccarelli 

All I Could Do Was Cry

I heard church bells ringing
I heard a choir singing I saw my love walk down the aisle
On her finger he placed a ring




Oh, I saw them holding hands
She was standing there with my man
I heard them promise "Till death do us part"
Each word was a pain in my heart

All I could do, all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
All I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
I was losing the man that I loved
And all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)

Yeah and now the wedding's over
Rice, rice has been thrown over their heads
For them life has just begun
But mine is at an end

All, all I could do, all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
All I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
I was losing the man that I loved (cry, cry, cry)
And all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry) 

I went down to St. James Infirmary
And I heard my baby moan
And I felt so broken hearted
She used to be my very own

I tried so hard to keep from crying

My heart felt just like lead

She was all that I had to live for

Oh, I just wish it was me instead

Now she's gone, she's gone and may God bless her

Wherever she may be

She can search this wide world over

But she'll never find a man like me

She's gone... she's gone... she's gone

BOBBY BLUE BLAND ST. JAMES INFIRMARY

Ο Ρόμπερτ Μπλαντ (Robert Calvin "Bobby" Bland, 27 Ιανουαρίου 1930 – 23 Ιουνίου 2013), γνωστός και ως Μπόμπι Μπλου Μπλαντ (Bobby "Blue" Bland) 
ήταν Αμερικανός τραγουδιστής της μπλουζ  και της σόουλ
Αρχικά ήταν μέλος των Beale Streeter και αναφερόταν μερικές φορές με το όνομα "Λιοντάρι της Μπλουζ".

Μαζί με άλλους καλλιτέχνες όπως οι Σαμ Κοουκ, Ρέι Τσαρλς και Τζούνιορ Πάρκερ  ο Μπλαντ ανέπτυξε έναν ήχο που συγκέρασε την γκόσπελ με την μπλουζ και την R & B
Μιμητής του Σινάτρα , ήταν επίσης γνωστός ως ο "Σινάτρα των μπλουζ". 

Η μουσική του έχει επίσης επιρροές από το Νατ Κινγκ Κόουλ  και ιδιαίτερα τον B.B. King. 
Ακολουθησε μάλιστα το τραγουδιστικό του στυλ, ένα φαλτσέτο το οποίο ο ίδιος απέδωσε στον πατέρα της Αρίθα, αιδεσιμοτατο Κ.Λ. Φράνκλιν.
Οπως και να 'χει, ο Μπόμπι Μπλαντ, έστω και χωρίς το στάτους ενός σταρ, αγαπήθηκε για τραγούδια όπως «I pity the fool» ή «Turn on your love light», 
επονομάστηκε «λιοντάρι των μπλουζ», ενώ τραγούδια του διασκευάστηκαν από τον Βαν Μόρισον 

 Ο Μπλαντ έγινε μέλος του Blues Hall of Fame το 1981 και του Rock and Roll Hall of Fame το 1992, ενώ τιμήθηκε και με Βραβείο Γκράμι συνολικής προσφοράς το 1997

I could cry

Oh, sometimes I could cry
Woman I could just lay down and die
Oh, sometimes I could cry
Woman I could just lay down and die
Well if you listen to the story now
My pal Buddy will tell you the reason why

My baby needs and she love me
In the evenin' when I come home
Whoa, my baby needs and she love me
In the evenin' when I come home, oh yes
But seems like everything I do
Everything I do is wrong

I used to have plenty money
The finest clothes in town
Nothin' ever got in my way until
You come to get me down
I'm say'n mercy, mercy, mercy baby
Ooh have mercy on me, oh yes
I'll always love you darlin'
No matter what you do

Now listen closely baby
I'll try to change my ways
Don't go kickin' up trumped up troubles
Worry all my days
Mercy mercy mercy baby
Good God mercy be all around
Yes you know I'll be right there
When the grave digger laid her down

Stormy Blues

I've been down so long

That down don't worry me

I just sit and wonder

Where can my good man be

When it rains in here

It's storming on the sea

When it rains in here

It's storming on the sea

Every time I come here

Everything happens to me

I lose my man

I lose my head

I lose my money

Feel like I'm almost dead

I need you honey

Need you bad as can be

I've been down so long

That down don't worry me

Born under a bad sign

One, two
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
Hard luck and trouble is my only friend
I been on my own ever since I was ten
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
I can't read, haven't learned how to write
My whole life has been one big fight
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
[  From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/a/albert-king-lyrics/born-under-a-bad-sign-lyrics.html ]
If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
I ain't lyin'
If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have no kind-a luck
If it wasn't for real bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
Wine and women is all I crave
A big legged woman is gonna carry me to my grave
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
Yeah, my bad luck boy
Been havin' bad luck all of my days, yes

Try me..

Ruby Winters  " Try me "

If you really wanna know if I can stand your brand of
love,
Try me.
Why don’t you try me?
If you wanna know if I’m affected by the moon above,
Then try me.
Come on and try me.
Don’t you know my heart feels a strong desire
When I’m thrilled by the warmth of your touch?
Baby, don’t you know my soul’s on fire,
And I need your lovin’ so much.

If you really wanna know if I am longing for your kiss,
Then try me.
Why won’t you try me.
If you think that I’ll get weak in a cozy spot like
this,
Please try me.
I beg you, try me.
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/e/esther-phillips-lyrics/try-me-lyrics.html]

Just take me in your arms, baby, and try, try me
tonight.


Don’t you know my heart feels a strong desire
When I’m thrilled by the warmth of your touch?
Baby, don’t you know my soul’s on fire,
And I need your lovin’ so much.

I want you to take me in your arms, and come on, and
try me tonight
I beg you, try me, try me, try me, try me tonight.

I'm a woman, I'm a love maker

I'm a woman, you know I'm an earth shaker
