Call me A Sinner

Call me a sinner, then cast your stone
But it was whisky and women, that broke up my home
And I don’t have another, to call my own
Gonna get my guitar, go on down the road
Goin' down the road……..going down the road…..
I got a woman, and she loves me so
She keeps me easy, goes down slow
So all you women, settin’ out that line
wanna tell you a story, everything's just fine
everything's just fine…….everything's just fine…..
Got no religion, leading me blind
I only listen, to my second mind
I can tell the difference, between left and right
Tell you a story, everything's all right
everything's alright……….everything's alright

Shotgun
03:42
|

|
I lost my woman, to a travellin' man
Who took his pleasure, In the back of his van
He was no rocker, no superstar
Just a long distance
Truck driver
Truck driver
Don’t know what happened, or how it all started
But she just bundled up, left and departed
She was out gallivanting, and having her fun
I drank whiskey
And thought about guns
I thought about guns
Gonna get me a shotgun
I know a man who’s got one
Gonna get me a shotgun
I know a man who’s got one
If I had (a) wrote a letter,
told her mama take her home
Can you please come and get her,
yeah there’s something wrong with her
Can’t keep her in the house,
can’t leave her in the road
If I had a wrote a letter
A different tale be told
Different tale be told
Gonna get me a shotgun
I know a man who’s got one
Gonna get me a shotgun
I know a man who’s got one

Sweet thing, I wanna hold you all night
Sweet thing, you surely looking just fine
Sweet thing, I wanna hold you near
Sweet thing, come on right over here
Sweet thing, I want to hold your hand
Sweet thing, I’ll be your loving man
Sweet thing, I need your loving so bad
Sweet thing, I the best I ever had
Sweet thing, surely driving me wild
Sweet thing, slowly outta my mind
Sweet thing, just like a hurricane
Sweet thing, here we go again

Pity The Fool
04:29
|
|||
|
Pity the fool, who falls in love for the first time
Pity the fool, who falls in love for the first time
Cos you know that woman,
surely make you lose your precious mind
Sometimes it makes me wonder
How a man can be so blind
With just a wink and a whisper
A woman can turn his eye
pity the fool………...
She’ll come home in the morning
with them skinny blue jeans
And the smell of a hoochie coochie man
Stuck between her knees
pity the fool………...
First she'll break your spirit
Then she take your soul
And then all of a sudden
You aint welcome in your home
Well I know I should've listened to
My second mind
when he tried to tell me Hobo
Leave this one behind
Well you can't trust no woman
If the woman don't trust you
She tell you you're a liar
When you don't even know the truth
Pity the fool..........

You Gimme The Blues
03:31
|
|||
|
Let me tell you what’s on my mind
How can a woman be so un-kind
Take a man’s lovin every day
Then you go and throw it all away
It makes me wonder, What did I do
To end up, with a girl like you
You gimme the blues, you gimme the blues, you do
Got a message from my baby child
Broke my heart and it made me cry
Mama said you just wanna play your guitar
You never wanted to be my Pa
It makes me wonder
Hope you know that when you die
And look your maker in the eye
And all your lies become untold
Lord have mercy upon your soul.
It makes me wonder, What did I do?
To wind up, with a woman like you
You gimme the blues, you gimme the blues, you do

Got No Money

|

|
Hey pretty lady, standing at the corner of my street
Finest thing a poor boy could ever meet
Shure would be delighted to take you home with me
But i know you won’t do it for free
Got no money, I want love
Got no money, I want love
Got no money, I want love
Got no money, Lord above
‘Member that time when I asked you for a dance,
I thought I'd try a little old fashioned romance
You said gimme twenty dollars and you got half a chance
I said No honey…….you don’t understand

Vodka Slut
03:09
|
|||
|
Ever since I quit drinkin,
I can't talk to no woman at all (x2)
And they call it Dutch courage,
but I don’t speak Dutch no more
Ever since I quit gambling,
I can't look no woman in the eye (x2)
And I could never back a winner,
And I hate to see my baby cry.
I used to dance with whiskey
Until vodka changed the rules
Left me on the killing floor
Feeling like a fool
So I changed my way of livin
And vodka I aint missing you
Well sometimes I miss you whiskey
And the way you made me feel
But vodka I don’t miss you,
Cos you’re a slut you see
You’re a mean mistreater
And you mistreated me
Since I started smokin' reefer,
it all become quite clear (x2)
But I'd rather have the reefer,
than drink that no good stinky beer

Lazy Boy Blues
03:59
|
|||
|
My baby calls me lazy,
Says I spend all day scratching round (x2)
But when I wake up at the crack of noon,
I just wanna hear my guitar sound
My baby calls me misery,
And sometimes I admit to feeling low (x2)
But when I get these blues honey,
Just wanna hear harmonica blow
Now my baby says I’m tetchy
She says I’m always in a stew
If you give my back a scratchy
I’ll make sweet love to you

Only Fools Go To Heaven
02:46
|
|||
|
Go to church on a Sunday,
If Sunday falls on Christmas day
Axe the lord to forgive,
Take account of all my sins
When it comes to judgement day,
At the pearly gates you know peter might say
Why did you live your life that way,
How come you were so led astray
Oh Peter please let me in I don’t want to go home
For the devil is bound to get me
One by one and two by three four five six seven
Only fools go to heaven
And when all is said and done
Did you put me here for a reason
Is there a job to do that hasn’t been done
Or a song to sing that hasn’t been sung
When the day does finally come
Will I be scared, will I run
Do I face salvation
Or eternal damnation

Awesome sounds from the deep south of Cork! These three guys know how to groove. Perhaps the hardest working band in Ireland at the moment.

Lesley's voice and vocals are just great. I love Mark and Ian's guitar playing and Andrew's bass, Peter's organ and Pete's drums too. You are a great band and have produced a fantastic album. It's my album of the year 2023. It's a pity that I only became aware of the band recently.
