10. John Lee Hooker and Bonnie Raitt play "I'm In The Mood"

Lyrics: I M N The Mood

I'm in the mood baby, I'm in the mood for love
I'm in the mood baby, I'm in the mood for love
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood, baby, I'm in the mood for love

I said night time is the right time, to be with the one you love
You know when night come baby, God know, you're so far away
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood baby, I'm in the mood for love
I'm in the mood, in the mood, baby, in the mood for love

I said yes, my mama told me, to leave that girl alone
But my mama didn't know, God know, girl was puttin' down
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood baby, in the mood for love
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood, baby, in the mood for love

9. The Thrill is Gone: B.B King

Lyrics: "The Thrill Is Gone"

The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong baby
And you'll be sorry someday

The thrill is gone
It's gone away from me
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although, I'll still live on
But so lonely I'll be

The thrill is gone
It's gone away for good
The thrill is gone baby
It's gone away for good
Someday I know I'll be open armed baby
Just like I know a good man should

You know I'm free, free now baby
I'm free from your spell
Oh I'm free, free, free now
I'm free from your spell
And now that it's all over
All I can do is wish you well

8. Hoochie Coochie Man muddy waters

Lyrics: Muddy waters

 The gypsy woman told my mother 

Before I was born 
I got a boy child's comin' 
He's gonna be a son of a gun 
He gonna make pretty women's 
Jump and shout 
Then the world wanna know 
What this all about 
But you know I'm him 
Everybody knows I'm him 
Well you know I'm the hoochie coochie man 
Everybody knows I'm him 

I got a black cat bone 
I got a mojo too 
I got the Johnny Concheroo 
I'm gonna mess with you 
I'm gonna make you girls 
Lead me by my hand 
Then the world will know 
The hoochie coochie man 
But you know I'm him 
Everybody knows I'm him 
Oh you know I'm the hoochie coochie man 
Everybody knows I'm him 

On the seventh hours 
On the seventh day 
On the seventh month 
The seven doctors say 
He was born for good luck 
And that you'll see 
I got seven hundred dollars 
Don't you mess with me 
But you know I'm him 
Everybody knows I'm him 
Well you know I'm the hoochie coochie man 
Everybody knows I'm him

7. I’m Tore Down: Freddy King

Lyrics: i'm ToreDown

I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.
I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.
Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be found.

I went to the river to jump in.
My baby showed up and said, "I will tell you when."

  Well, I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.
  Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be found.

I love you babe with all my heart and soul;
Love like mine will never grow old.
Love you in the morning and in the evening too.
Every time you leave me I get mad with you.

  Chorus

I love you baby with all my might;
Love like mine is out of sight.
I'll lie for you if you want me to.
I really don't believe that your love is true.

  Chorus

I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.
Well, I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.
Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be found.

6. Red House: Jimmi Hendrix

Lyrics: Red House

There's a Red House over yonder
That's where my baby stays
There's a Red House over yonder, baby
That's where my baby stays

Well, I ain't been home to see my baby,
in ninety nine and one half days.
'Bout time I see her,
Wait a minute something's wrong here
The key won't unlock the door.

Wait a minute something's wrong baby,
Lord, have mercy, this key won't unlock this door,
something's goin' on here.
I have a bad bad feeling
that my baby don't live here no more.

That's all right, I still got my guitar
Look out now . . . 

I might as well go on back down 
go back 'cross yonder over the hill
I might as well go back over yonder
way back over yonder 'cross the hill,
(That's where I came from.)

'Cause if my baby don't love me no more,
I know her sister will!

5. All Your Love: Otis Rush

Lyrics: All your Love

All your love I miss loving
All you kiss I miss kissing
All your love I miss loving
Until I met you pretty baby
I didnÕt know what I was missing

All this love pretty baby
I have in store for you
All this love pretty baby
I have in store for you
The way I love you baby
I know you could love me too

Oh baby
You know I love you baby
I love you baby
You know I love you baby
I love love you baby
Like no one else could ever do

4. Love in Vain: Robert Johnson

Lyrics: Love in Vain

And I followed her to the station, with her suitcase in my hand,
And I followed her to the station, with her suitcase in my hand.
Well, it's hard to tell, it's hard to tell, when all your love's in vain,
All my love's in vain.

When the train rolled up to the station, I looked her in the eye,
When the train rolled up to the station, and I looked her in the eye.
Well, I was lonesome, I felt so lonesome, and I could not help but cry.
All my love's in vain.

When the train, it left the station, there was two lights on behind,
When the train, it left the station, there was two lights on behind,
Well, the blue light was my baby, and the red light was my mind.
All my love's in vain.

Uumh, Willie Mae, Uumh, Willie Mae, Uumh uumh,, all my love's in vain.

3. Hard Luck Blues: Roy Brown

ROY BROWN:  Hard Luck Blues Lyrics

Well, Rocks In My Pillow,
The Cold Ground Is My Bed,
The Highway Is My Home
So I Might As Well Be Dead.

I`m Walkin` And Walkin`;
Seems I Have No Place To Go.
My Mother`s Dead And Gone;
Father Throwed Me From His Door.

I Got One Pair Of Shoes,
Don`t Even Have A Change Of Clothes.
I Got One Pair Of Shoes,
Don`t Even Have A Change Of Clothes.
And This Road I Gotta Travel
Is So Muddy And Cold.
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net]

Well, I`m Gonna Get Religion,
Learn How To Pray.
I Need Help Bad,
Lord, And That Is The Only Way.

I`m Travelin` And Travelin`;
Seems The Road Has Got No End.
And I Ain't Got Nobody
In This Mean Old World To Call My Friend.

I Got So Much Trouble,
Sometimes I Could Cry,
I`m Gonna Find My Mother`s Grave,
Fall On The Tombstone And Die.

2. Shake Your Moneymaker: Elmore James

Lyrics: Shake Your Moneymaker

Shake your moneymaker
Shake your moneymaker
You got to shake your moneymaker, yeah
Shake your moneymaker
You got to shake your moneymaker
And then

I got a gal that lives up on a hill
I got a gal that lives up on a hill
Says she'll let me roll her
But I don't believe she will

She won't shake her moneymaker
Won't shake her moneymaker
I want to roll her I keep beggin'
She won't shake her moneymaker
Won't shake her money maker
She won't

Oh yeah

I got a girl, but she just won't be true
I got a girl, but she just won't be true
Won't let me do the one good thing I tell her to

She won't shake her moneymaker
Won't shake her moneymaker
Won't shake her moneymaker
She won't shake her moneymaker
Won't shake her moneymaker
She won't

Oh yeah

1. Dust My Broom

Lyrics: Dust My Broom

I'm a get up in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm a get up in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
I quit the best girl I'm lovin'
Now my friends can get in my room

I'm gonna write a letter, telephone every town I know
I'm gonna write a letter, telephone every town I know
If I don't find her in ? (Matilda or West Hills, Lord) ?
She be in East Monroe I know

And I don't want no woman
Want every downtown man she meets
No I don't want no woman
Want every downtown man she meets
Man, she's a no good doney
They shouldn't allow her on the street, yeah

I believe, I believe my time ain't long
I believe, I believe my time ain't long
I ain't gonna leave my baby
And break up my happy home
