Verse 1:
Feed your family, Feed them night and day
If you don’t well, on your knees and pray, you pray for…
Holy mother, Help us now
Feed your family, Feed them night and day, everybody go…
I don’t know what you’ve been told
But I’ve been told you feed your family
Verse 2:
One foot in heaven, The other in hell
Throw their life down a wishing well, They may
Drown in anger, Drown in pain
Fill that glass and baby pump that vein, But I said
Feed the family, Feed them night and day
If I don’t well on my knees and pray, Pray for
Holy mother, Help them now
Feed your family, Feed them night and day, everybody go…
I don’t know what you’ve been told
But I’ve been told you feed your family
Verse 3:
Take that house and baby take that land
All that’s left is a lonely, lonely man
Take that boy, Take that wife
All that’s left is a lonely, lonely life
All that’s left is a lonely, lonely life, So I went
Feed my family, Feed them night and day
If I don’t well on my knees and pray
Pray for holy mother, Help them now
Feed my family, Feed them night and day, everybody go…
I don’t know what you’ve been told
But I’ve been told you feed your family

high blues song

I wanna tell you whats on my mind
I'm a Revelator of a different kind
I like to sit up high in my tree
And hang around like a chimpanzee
I like to sit on my porch and stare
And tell you just how much I care
But you're smiling like use amused
You wouldn't be smiling if you were in my shoes
Stop dragging,
Stop dragging me down,
Stop dragging,
Stop dragging me round.
I found my girl, her name was Jack
We lived together in a rambling shack
She took my money, and stole my heart
And ran away with my horse and cart
I saw her one day at the county fair
Long red dress and short black hair
And I soon forgot my revenge plans
When she smiled and took me by the hand
Stop dragging,
Stop dragging me down,
Stop dragging,
Stop dragging me round.
I wanna tell you whats on my mind
I'm gonna get drunk baby hope you don't mind
I wanna see you some time after 3
Cause I know where you gonna be
Down the road and heading south
this time I'm gonna shut my mouth
I'll be waiting for you down the line
I'm gonna catch that train ahead of time
Stop dragging,
Stop dragging me down,
Stop dragging,
Stop dragging me round.

Verse 1
Gonna move to the country far away
Gonna send for you on a summers day
Gonna take my time, and take my dog
And set up camp by an old burnt log
won't you come along
won't you come along
Gonna find me a river to keep me clean
Wash my clothes with no washing machine
Pick up sticks to make a fire
Watch the moon rise higher and higher
won't you come along
won't you come along
Chorus:
I'm gonna pay no bills, climb that hill
Find new ways to get my thrills
I'm gonna call your name, go insane
Soak it up in the sweet summer rain
Verse 2
Gonna leave this city, leave this town
Put my name in the lost and found
Walk along the old train tracks
Let the morning sun warm my bare back
won't you come along
won't you come along
This City life it left me cold
Gonna spend my days just growing old
No shopping strip to take my cash
You and me alone at last
won't you come along
won't you come along
Chorus:
I'm gonna pay no bills, climb that hill
Find new ways to get my thrills
I'm gonna call your name, go insane
Soak it up in the sweet summer rain
I'm gonna move to the country
I'm gonna move to the country
Chorus:
I'm gonna pay no bills, climb that hill
Find new ways to get my thrills
I'm gonna call your name, go insane
Soak it up in the sweet summer rain

I'm goin' home, Lord to see my kin
I'm gonna tell my sweet little cousin just where I been
Well the trouble with livin' is you gotta get it done
Keep on a sinnin' and you're always on the run
Making lots of trouble people hanging on the line
If you ever stop a moving well, well they'll hang you out to dry yeah
Well I use to waste my time breaking rocks up on the hill
Till I got a little anxious and a warden got killed
People take it bad when they find out where I been
They take it even harder when they found out what I done, yeah!
I'm goin' home, Lord to see my kin
I'm gonna tell my sweet little sister just where I been
Well I never want to say I've been having no fun,
Knocking on the door with a big shotgun
Driving all night to a greasy little town
where i'm sure to get my fill of the trouble going down. Yeah!
Well I'm sleeping on the highway with a loaded 44
Get up in the morning put the pedal to the floor
If the police ever come to the river so wide
You know they won't get me cause on I'm the other side. Yeah
I'm goin' home, Lord to see my kin
I'm not gonna tell my sweet little mother just where I been
Well the trouble with livin' is you gotta get it done
Keep on a sinnin' and you're always on the run
Making lots of trouble people hanging on the line
If I ever stop a moving well, then they'll hang you out to dry yeah

Verse1:
See my jumper lord, hangin' on that line
See my jumper lord, hangin' on that line
You know by that, something on my mind
I would not be here, baby, if it had not been for you
I would not be here, baby, if it had not been for you
Way down here, what you wanna do
Fix my supper, baby, let me go to bed
Fix my supper, baby, let me go to bed
Guess that white lightnin' done gone to my head
See my jumper lord, hangin' on the line
See my jumper lord, hangin' on the line
Know by that, something on my mind
Know by that, something on my mind
Know by that...

My daddy said
She'll do you wrong
Boy use your head
She been around too long
My momma begged me
She said baby beware
Of those big brown eyes
And that long black hair
Yeah! She no Good
Yeah! That girl no good
My sister warned me
She's like a cat
Sneaking out at night
Yeah Brother don't fall for that
My Brother let slip,
Said she's mighty fine
Ya better watch your back
I'm gonna make her mine
Yeah! She no Good
Yeah! That girl no good
Yeah! She no good, but I'm on the hook
And the weaker I get, the more I take a look
She's like sweet wine, racing through my veins
But the more I drink, it don't ease the pain
Yeah! She no Good
Yeah! That girl no good

Ann Marie

When I found you, you were dark and mean
The lines through your face like an endless stream
In the dank back room of the corner store
With the laced grey faced men and cracked walls
This sordid town, like a sinking boat
With just no way to keep afloat
So you sank and begged and fed from the hand
That dragged you from the sea to this wretched land
Ann Marie Ohh!
What’s become of thee
I say come with me now, please take my hand
We gotta leave this place, while we still can
Before we’re drawn back to those shallow shores
With the jagged rocks, sharks, gods and whores
But the wind starts to howl and the sea starts to spit
Your will to live has loosened its grip
As you take one last gasp of that salty air
Over you go whispering baby don’t despair
Ann Marie Ohh!
What’s become of thee

whiskey breath

|
I don't know what you've been told
back in the day men never grew old
spent all day grinding bones to the ground
still had time at night to swing the ladies around
I don't know what you think you know
but a generation ain't that long ago
time and dust eats away the stone
but the stories they live on
Brown skin, Leather hands
Clear nights, parched lands
Friday night, Hats on
Whiskey Breath... Crawling home

Poor black Mattie
Ain’t got no change of clothes
The fool got drunk
She went and locked the door
Poor black Mattie
Ain’t got change o’ clothes
The fool got drunk
She went and locked the door
Don’t need no heater or fireplace
By my bed
The woman I got
She keeps me cherry red
Don’t need no heater or fireplace
By my bed
The woman I got
She keeps me cherry red
Well I'm goin’ to Memphis
To see the world fair
The reason I’m going
I know my baby there
Yeah! I'm goin’ to Memphis
To see the world fair
The reason I’m going
I know my baby there
See the moonlight shining
Thru them tress
See that woman
Just above the knee
See the moonlight shinning
Thru them trees
See that woman
I think she's looking at me

Mission Brown Melbourne, Australia
"Mission Brown, 3 piece hillbilly trainwreck blues band from Melbourne play foot stompin originals and old faves, with a dash of the looney thrown in. Gus plays drums, cigarbox guitars and old vintage beasts - simultaneously. Max plays stupid slide and back-footed lead. James holds the mess together with his bass playing prowess... But don't take our word for it.... Check it out for yourself. ... more

Incredible passion in his music... the singing is great, ans his command of the Hammond Organ is off the Charts! If you can't get into the groove listening to Lachy, you better check your pulse... His cover of Gimme Some Lovin is off the hook, and Voodoo Child is an exploration in new and creative was to properly abuse a Hohner Whammy Clavichord!
