Loco Howl - Chris O 2016
She’s gearin’ up to rumble down the line
Carriage is rusty, but her engine’s prime
Rollin rhythms make the dust clouds churn
Ah, she’s a steamin’ hot mama with the hellfire burn.
Hooter screamin, wheels are rattlin
Shakin & wailin out her pain
There ain’t no snow storm wild enough
to take the shine off-a this train
Lord nothing can take the shine off this train.
I’ve got the Loco Growl!
You know this engine can shuffle, slide and growl
The jellyroll blues with a loco howl
Rollin rhythms make the crankshafts turn
Red hot rockin, with a hellfire burn
Got the Loco Howl. Owwww!
I’ve got the Loco Growl
See her gearin’ to rumble down the line
Carriage is rusty, but her engine’s prime
Rollin rhythms make the dust clouds churn
She’s a steamin’ hot mama with the hellfire burn.
Lord, got the Loco Howl!
I’ve got the Loco Growl! Grrr
That train I ride’s
got a hellfire burn!
Oh yeah!
She’s got a hellfire burn.
Whoo Hoo, Whoo Hoo, Whoo Hoo,

Workin the Cotton Fields Chris O © June 2014
You see that man
He’s got something on his mind
See that man
Worries on his mind
Clothes are ragged dirty
Eyes done lost their shine.
He gets up in the morning before
Rooster cries for day.
Wakes up in the morning,
Rooster ain’t even crowed the day
Comes home in the dark hours
Too tired to even pray
Too tired to even pray
Well there’s bread here on the table,
Roof above our heads
He puts bread on the table
The children all get fed
But he’s out there workin the Cotton Fields
Worryin.
Out there workin the Cotton Fields
Worryin, hard times ahead.
The Rich are getting richer
While the poor ones scratch for dimes.
And out there in the Cotton Fields
Eyes done lost their shine.
Out there in the Cotton Fields
Eyes done lost their shine.
Out there in the Cotton Fields
Eyes done lost their shine.
They want us to jump down, turn around
And pick a bale of cotton
Jump down, turn around
And pick a bale of hay.

I had me a real flash dresser, with a pearly smile
And a gold chain on his chest.

Hesitating Wedding Ring Blues Chris O © April 2014
Third time lucky, or third time bad?
Goodbye lonely, or hello sad?
Hmmm hmmm
Got the hesitating wedding ring blues.
Third time doubting, or third time true?
Swore I wouldn’t do it, but I’m stuck on you
Hmm Hmm
Got them hesitating gold ring blues
Well I’m the kind of girl who will never say die,
But the monkey on my back whispers “Don’t even try!”
Only just got over numbers 1 and 2
So why oh Babe am I defenceless with you?
“Love you darling ‘til the day I die”,
or “It’s all over! Baby bye bye!”
Hmmm
With the hesitating wedding blues.
Tho I gave away dancing, and my hot rod car,
Won’t stop honky tonkin this ole guitar!
Ain’t the kind of girl to wait around at home
But with you around Babe it’s hard to stay alone
Third time lucky or third time bad?
Goodbye lonesome, or hello sad?
Hmm Hmm
Got the hesitating wedding ring blues
Third time lucky, or third time mad?
Goodbye lonely, or hello sad?
Hmmm hmmm
Got the hesitating wedding ring blues.
