Bobby had already said that we should pick up the tempo a little bit
But until I can get my throat together here, I think I'll try
Take your time
Thank you
Some people say that the kind of blues when you're playing
The kind that we're getting into now are slick blues
And I don't think so, I just think they're telling it like it is
So I wanna talk to you for just a minute as well as play a little bit
My boss, Mob, told me a while ago that if I
Wanted to talk a little, it was alright, so
Say anything you wanna say, son
Oh, thank you, and my other boss, Bobby Bland, says it's okay
I'm behind you, I told you, say anything you want, son
So what I wanna talk about
What?
People, like Bobby Bland, for instance
You see, some people have a person that they've been with for
A long time and, and they really don't wanna get rid of them
They just wanna jack 'em up a little bit
You know, make 'em do a little better
You're talking good, son, talk up
Can I tell 'em some more?
Yeah, talk good
So for some reason or another, they're afraid to tell 'em bye
'Cause they really don't wanna get rid of 'em
But then there is, I figured there might be somebody
In the audience that is trying to get rid of somebody
Uh-huh, yeah
So I'm gonna say a few words that you might would wanna say to yours
So if you're sitting close to yours, slide up a little closer
You might even give 'em a little drink of whatever you're drinking
And if I say the right words, just look '
Em straight in the eyes, but don't stare at 'em
Or if you're holding their hands, squeeze
Their hand a little bit, you know, like that
Now, if you didn't bring yours with you, shame on you
Don't grab nobody else
If you couldn't borrow nobody else, then you're in bad shape
Just watch the nearest couple next to you
And here's what you say to 'em, I think we're about ready now, Sonny
Yeah
If you can't do no better, baby
Well?
Babe, I think I'd better try to find me somebody else that can
Hey, if you can't do no better, baby
Babe, I think I'd better try to find me somebody else that can
Oh, because the way you treat me now, baby
You ain't doing nothing but losing a good man
You see, life is too short to be worried, baby
Say it again
And I think you're old enough to understand
Oh, life is too short to be worried, baby
And I think you're old enough to understand
The way you treat me, baby
You ain't doing nothing but losing a good man
We thank you
We're almost through with it now, so I just
Wanna give a little bit of warning to the fellas
If you're a fella and that happened to
You, it ain't but one thing to do then
Go on over to mother's
Yeah
Because that's where she's at
I don't know about that
Yeah, that's where she's going, ain't nobody else got her
But I wouldn't trust you, though, Bobby, you know
You and I like the same type of ladies
Yeah, no, no, yeah, no, yeah
But when you get over to mother's, kick the door down
And soon as you kick the door down, fall down on your knees
What?
Fall on your knees
What?
And when you look up, look up in a praying position
And you look straight at her and you say
"Baby, I'm sorry"
While they're trying to figure out what just happened
Say it again and you say it softly
"Sorry"
What?
You just go ahead and you tell her
"I'm sorry"
And you get real sexy like Bobby Bland and you say it
"Sorry"
How you say it then?
Like this
"I'm sorry"
I didn't hear you good, say it again
(And I'm sorry, baby)
And then when you hear this noise behind you
You know that's dad
And where there's dads, usually there are sons
You know they already mad at you anyway
But you know what they say
That ladies are tender-hearted, you know (Uh-huh)
So you say it again
"Baby, I'm sorry!"
And then you let the tears start to fallin'
And as that noise get a little closer to you
Just fall all out on the floor and start kickin' then
"Baby, can't you see I'm sorry?"
I can't hear you, Bob
(I'm sorry, baby)
Just go ahead and do your act, you know
(I'm sorry)
And then you say, um
(I'm sorry, baby)
A little louder, B
(Sorry)
Ha, that's the way you call her
(Sorry)
You know how, when you get in there
(Sorry)
Haha, say it again
(Sorry)
No, I'm sorry
(Baby, you know I'm sorry)
Yeah, yeah
(Sorry)
Everybody, come on
(Sorry)
Oh, Lord
(Sorry)
Every single night
(Sorry)
When I
(Sorry)
Oh, Lord
(Sorry)
Oh, I'm sorry
(Sorry)
Oh, Lord, I'm sorry
Say it again
Alright, alright (Yeah, I guess so)
I believe everybody is sorry
For whatever you did, you sorry about it
So anyway, you see, what I was startin' to say
If it's a lady, when she cry
Somebody will usually say
"Call the doctor, call somebody, please, to come help this child"
(Sorry)
But you see, if a, if a dude start to cryin'
(Sorry)
Any time a dude cries, you know what they say
"Call the police, call somebody to come get this fool"
(Sorry)
But you just keep on doin' your act
So just before I leave, Bobby (Yeah)
If you messed up this weekend
If any of you people in the audience messed up this weekend
And didn't do what you were supposed to do
Now is your time to say
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
One more time, Bobby
Baby, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, yeah
