Crossroads

I went down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
I went down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above for mercy, "save me if you please."
I went down to the crossroads
Tried to flag a ride
I went down to the crossroads
Tried to flag a ride
Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by.
Going down to Rosedale
Take my rider by my side
Going down to Rosedale
Take my rider by my side
We can still barrelhouse, baby, over the riverside.
Run you can run,
Tell my friend boy Willy Brown
Run you can run
Tell my friend boy Willy Brown
And I'm standing at the crossroads, believe I'm sinking down

If You Go

If You Go
Just Leave me one thing
Oh to understand
Why our love
Was turned to
This suitcase in your hand
Chorus
Now I'm drinking myself to sleep
Waking up on different streets
Dreaming of a life that could be
With you baby
Was I so
So Bad?
Honey I never meant you no harm
I can't move
From your eye's now
Tears rolling down my nose
Chorus 2
Now I'm sinking in this hole so deep
Waking up on different streets
Dreaming of a life that could be
With you baby
Guitar solo/Chorus

Catfish Blues
03:00
|
|||
|
I'm a catfish, swimmin' in your town
I'm a catfish, swimmin' in your town
Gonna find me some muddy whiskers
Then roll you all around
I'm a catfish, I'll eat anything around
I'm a catfish, I'll eat anything around
You know I like to make love to you baby
When I'm underground
And when the man comes, I'll be in the deep blues sea
Oh when the man comes, I'll be in the deep blues sea
Cause there ain't nobody
Gonna put a net around me

So Lonely
03:49

|||
|
I'm so lonely, baby without you
I'm so lonely, baby without you
Now I wait for you each night
Until the early morning light, baby without you
I'm so lonely, since you've been gone now
I'm so lonely, since you've been gone now
Now I know that your with him
Don't you know it's a shame and a sin oh baby without you
Chorus
I can't talk, I can't breath
I can't see past this misery
I can't call, I can't sleep
Now this pain won't let me be
Can you ease my suffering
Guitar Solo/Chorus

Rose Of Sharon
03:34
|
|||
|
I lead with my left
You lead with your right
The dust finally settles
You're clean out of sight
Rose of Sharon
Why don't you come on
Why don't you come on home
I come here with water
Your world is on fire
I'm met when the smoke clears
With the screech of your tires
Rose of Sharon
Why don't you come on
Why don't you come on home
Your mother's light
Your father's pride
Provide you a place
Where you can hide
Rose of Sharon
Why don't you come on
Why don't you come on home

Baby how long
Baby how long
Must you go
Baby how long
She caught the train
She caught the train
With her gold
Gold ball and chain
But baby don't cry
Baby don't cry
Your tears will dry
Your tears will dry
Solo
I wait for her
I wait for her
In the rain
In the rain

Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go, down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don't go
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
, I get you way out here,
I'll let you walk alone
Baby, please don't go
Turn your lamp down low
Turn your lamp down low
Turn your lamp down low
, I get you way down here,
You know I loved you so
Oh baby, please don't go

Gypsy Eyes
03:21
|
|||
|
You got me howlin' now baby
Howlin' at the moon
Just one bite of your love
To ease these Blues.
Your taking all my money
But honey I don't care
You got me screeching my tyres
Then home to bed
Chorus
I lay there thinking of the shadows Drinking from that loving cup
And when the next morning comes, I'll be back in line
To see those gypsy eyes
She's got the devils touch
Now I'm under her spell
I know I can't shake it
I love my gypsy eyes
Chorus

My Nest Is Still Warm
03:51
|
|||
|
Well my nest is still warm baby
Well but my little bird, my little bird has flown
Well my nest is still warm baby
Well but my little bird, my little bird has flown
You know she left me early,
Well I don’t know where my baby’s gone
You know I work from sun up
Lord and I slave till the moonlight
You know I work from sun up
Lord and I slave till the moonlight
And I’m wondering, lord I’m wondering now
I maybe didn’t treat my baby right
( Verse 1 repeat )

Goodbye Baby
02:50
|
|||
|
My minds done, gone thinking about you baby
And the time has come that I'll be moving on
Oh this loneliness...
That crawls through my skin
And all the lies, when I know your with him
Chorus
Goodbye Baby, Baby Goodbye
Goodbye Baby, Baby Goodbye
That old train, keeps on moving me around
Still at every stop, I see your face in the crowd
Haunting me with your smile, to take me back
But I just shake my head...
Cause it's too late for that
Chorus
Goodbye Baby, Baby Goodbye
Goodbye Baby, Baby Goodbye
Solo/Chorus/End

New Orleans Woman
04:08
|
|||
|
You picked me up
Oh just to put me down
Now the word on the street
She's gone left town
Now I'm the last
The last to know
As the rain came down
I was all alone
Chorus
Oh New Orleans woman
Down by the bayou
Won't you bring your love, bring it back home
Oh New Orleans woman
Playin' that Zydeco
Won't you bring your love, bring it back home
Her voice could heal your soul
And make your heart rock n' roll
Make a poor man rich
And another man whole
And by the swamp we had a garden
And loving it just kept it green
But now I spend my nights alone
Looking for my baby
Chorus...

|
Baby how long
Baby how long
Must you go
Baby how long
She caught the train
She caught the train
With her gold
Gold ball and chain
But baby don't cry
Baby don't cry
Your tears will dry
Your tears will dry
Solo
I wait for her
I wait for her
In the rain
In the rain

Dirty South Blues
by Robert Connely Farr
supported by 9 fans who also own “Catfish”
Goddamn, Robert, you are the man! Some damn fine southern blues, unlike any I have experienced. The replay value on this son of a bitch is outstanding. I believe I'm on my 10th spin after what a week? Dark lullabies to calm the disturbed & disturb the comforted I have to say, I have never heard a version of Killing Floor Blues quite like Robert's. Only one of the many reasons I keep coming back to this 💎

Country Supper
by Robert Connely Farr
supported by 8 fans who also own “Catfish”
Truly a work of beauty, another masterpiece in Southern blues & rock. Robert has that swagger, not even bragging, but it's straight talent. This man is a god-damned prodigy, harkening back to even Robert Johnson, if I must be honest. Each rotation is just a joy.

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!
