Self-Respect
Long lonesome night
Strange far off town
Homesick blues got me down
Long I wandered
The great unknown
Time to lead this gypsy home
The ones I loved have gone and left me
Put my love upon a shelf
This lonesome road has left me empty
Travelling all by myself
Even when there’s no one left
I still got my self-respect
Down some dirty road
Where the sun don't shine
In the dark I was dying
I longed for the light
To rise with the dawn
The life I'd missed all along
The one I loved left me lonely
She moved on with somebody else
This lonesome road has left me empty
Traveling all by myself
Even when there’s no one left
I still got my self-respect
I’ve sung the blues
I'd been low down
In the bottoms of the bad side of town
Found my way out
Learn to forgive
This mean world that we live
Love went bad and left me lonely
Said I’ve had to fend for myself
This lonesome road has left me empty
I’m just trying to save my health
Even when there’s no one left
I still got my self-respect

The Green Water Blues
Have you seen my lover
Have you seen her around
Has anyone seen my lover Has anyone seen her around
She might be in the border town
Last time I saw my lover I kissed her and I held her near
Last time I saw my lover Lord she whispered in my ear
She swore she'd be waiting for me there
Down where the green water flows
High time I got to find out
What if she'd been waiting all this time Time to find my long lost lover
What if she's been waiting all this time
Or did she move on and leave me behind
Out where the green water flows
Head filled with worry, heart full of woe
Devil’s fixin to claim her soul
Head filled with worry, heart full of woe Devil’s fixin to claim her soul
Lord save her fore the current takes ahold
Down where the green water flows
