Hair Of The Dog
Heart breaker, soul shaker
I've been told about you
Steamroller, midnight stroller
What they've been saying must be true
bridge:
Red hot mama
Velvet charmer
Time's come to pay your dues
chorus:
Now you're messin' with a
A son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a
A son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch
Talkin' jivey, poison ivy
You ain't gonna cling to me
Man taker, born faker
I ain't so blind I can't see

Miss Misery
Since you came into my life
It's the same old situation
Empty days and lonely nights
Filled with bitterness and frustration.
Walking lonely in the cold
Tryin' to find the answer
Spend my money on a crystal ball
And the charms of a gypsy dancer.
Tryin' to break the spell you hold on me
chorus:
You're miss misery
That song you lay on me
Set me free, set me free
Please, please, please
Everyday is filled with shame
My nights are filled with anger
Hollow lies, forced denial
If you told the truth I can't remember.
You know I've got to find my way
Got to find a reason
Got to find your weakness
So I can end your witchin' season.
Got to break the spell you hold on me
chorus:
lead:
Can't think how I got myself
Caught up in this nightmare
Evil schemes, midnight screams
Come on somebody listen to my prayer
I'd give all I've got to give
Just to find my way out
Got it going but I can't let go
I'm trapped on this crazy 'round about
Tryin' to break the spell you hold on me

Guilty
Yes baby, I've been drinkin'
Shouldn't come by anymore
But I found myself in trouble darlin'
And I have no place else to go.
I got some whiskey, from a bottle
Got some cocaine, from a friend
And I had to keep on movin' darlin'
Till I was back in your arms again.
And I'm guilty, I am guilty
And I'll be guilty for the rest of my life
How come I'm never gonna do
What I'm supposed to do
Seems like everything I do
Never turns out right
That's how it is with me darlin'
You know I just can't stand myself
But it takes a whole lot of medicine darlin'
For me to pretend that I'm somebody else.

Changin' Times
When I was younger I used to understand
That when you're with a girl, you gotta act like a man
Mama told me that's the way it should be
And I know my mama never lied to me.
What do you think about you're changin' times
'cause when I'm with you I just can't make up my mind
Since I met you don't know right from wrong
Somebody tell me just what's goin' on
Just can't get myself thinkin' straight
I'm all shook up and in a terrible state
Sometimes I think I got it all figured out
Then you do something new and it just knocks me right out
Someday baby I'm going to have to make a stand
The way that you treat me baby
Don't make me feel too much like a man
And baby, baby, the changes you're goin' through
You're drivin' me half crazy
Can't make up my mind what to do about you.
Tellin' myself that time is on my side
You're gettin' this feelin' that my mind's on the slide
Dumped on the floor, I feel I'm trapped in a spin
Don't know how to end, can't think of where to begin
She don't care I know she don't even try
But when she turns it on
You know she gets me so high.
She's a lady that's making my life a sin
You know that I'm runnin' in a losin' race
There ain't no way I can win
Baby, baby, the changes you're goin' through
They're drivin' me half crazy
Can't make up my mind what to do about you.

Beggar's Day
If this is heaven, then I'm in hell
If trust is misfortune, then wish me well
While I think of sadness baby
Your light shines through, your light shines through
Your light shines through
chorus:
Because it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day
I've lost control of my darker side
A world all for free, on a nastier ride
*And I have crossed myself in anger
All your mercy can't save me, all your mercy can't save me
All your mercy can't save me
Because it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day
lead:
It's beggar's day
You know it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day
See this love, I've stored for you
Wheel it and deal it, but our feelin's are true
repeat *

Whiskey Drinkin' Woman
Close up the bar you know the gates of the brewery
She's out there every night
And she sure ain't drinkin' tea
I love that woman, she's the best one that I had
But she's got this habit now and it sure is gettin' bad
chorus:
That whiskey drinkin' woman
Is makin' a poor man out of me
She's got bottles in the kitchen
Even got them in my bed
Most times I see her now
She's three parts out of her head
Don't know where I went wrong
I sure try to treat her right
But it sure upsets me
Seein' her juiced up every night.
chorus:
lead:
Got to solve this problem
Won't you help me find the key
The way that things are going
I'll have to buy the distillery
She just stands there smilin'
With a whiskey in each hand
Got to think of something
Don't know how much I can stand
chorus:
Got to get myself together, start workin' something out
Maybe if I tried some booze, I'd know what it's about
I love that woman, she's the best one that I had
But she's got this problem now
And it sure is gettin' bad.

Please Don't Judas Me
Please don't judas me
Treat me as you like to be treated
Please don't blacklist me
Leave me as you'd wish to find me
Don't analyze me, sacrifice me
Please don't judas me.
Please don't chastise me
Show me just one shred of kindness
Try to help me see
Guide me in my eyes of blindness
Don't despise me, categorize me
Please don't judas me.
No, no don't judas me
No, please don't judas me
Please don't headshrink me
Don't disguise your innuendos
Make no lies to me
I can see the way the wind blows
Don't deface me, annihilate me
Please don't judas me.
Please don't number me
Don't betray my trusted promise
Please don't anger me
I find it hard to bear no fairness
Don't frustrate me, manipulate me
Please don't judas me
No no don't judas me
No,please don't judas me
