Burn It Up* (Bill Wharton)
Hey Mama Burn it up
Daddy found your lovin cup
Come on Mama rock n roll it
Drive that thing like you stole it
Do me right do me wrong
Do your daddy all night long
I wouldn't Mind It (Bill Wharton)
I wouldn't mind it I wouldn't mind it
I wouldn't mind it if you did if you did I wouldn't mind it at all
Help me find it I wouldn't mind it
I wouldn't mind it if you help me find it I wouldn't mind it at all
Get behind it I wouldn't mind it
I wouldn't mind it if you finally get behind it wouldn't mind it al al
I didn't mind it
I tried to find it
I got behind it
But I was blinded
Until I wined it
And I dined it
And I shined it
And aligned it
And I signed it
And I defined it
And refined it
I even rhymed it
I wouldn't mind it I wouldn't mind it
I wouldn't mind it if you did if you did I wouldn't mind it at all
Ce Soir C'est Bon (Bill Wharton)
Down in Louisiana there’s a girl that I once knew
Her daddy played piana and her mamma sang the blues
She would wail on the violin and dance beneath the moon
And then with a voice of an angel she’d sing a cajun tune
Ce soir c'est bon laissez les bon temps rouler
Ce soir c'est bon gonna be ok
Ce soir c'est bon what a beautiful day
Ce soir c'est bon laissez les bon temps rouler
Yeah we had a time down there where life’s a fais dodo
Hanging on the bayou in her cajun bungalow
Every night was a party every night was a show
Every night she would sing that song and let the good times roll
Ce soir c'est bon laissez les bon temps rouler
Sometimes late at night when the new moon shows a grin
Sometimes she will wake me from within the dream she’s in
From far away she’ll shake me and ask me how you been
And then I hear her singing that cajun tune again
Ce soir c'est bon laissez les bon temps rouler
Momma Don't Allow (Traditional)
Try This (Bill Wharton, Kendrick Jacobs, Neal Goree, Brett Crook)
So you got it bad they got you way down low
You been had that so and so
Oh so sad that's the way she goes
Bout to make you mad it's about to blow
Try this
You've been hacked it's the same old song
The world is whacked they done you wrong
It's a fact I knew it all along
What cha gonna do where do you belong
The big bad world is a wicked place
They cut your throat with a smiling face
That's all she wrote they closed the case
Wha cha gonna do for the human race
Double up slap it back this
Whole shebang is out of whack
Trouble up and down the street
This whole shebang goin make me freak
Top to bottom coast to coast
Yeah, we got em overdosed
A million stories diagnosed
They went in good and they came out toast
Got yourself in way too deep
That's a problem up and down the street
Been runnin way too fast
Been using way too much gas
And still about to come in last
It's hard for a man who got a past
You got nothing to show she's about to blow so
What d'ya owe where d'ya go
And after all is said and done
I have sure nuff had my fun
And after all the times I cried it's
Time for me to…
Try this
When you get down low
Try this
If you know you know
Try this
It's the way to go
Try this
When you get down low
Smile in a Basket (Bill Wharton)
Pick a smile from the basket on your way out the door
Coming or going it don't matter any more
Any kind of occasion any kind of a bore
That's what a smile in a basket's for
A smile in a basket is not a pretty song
Where did I put it, Where did I go wrong
I've got a bunch of em
Take two they're small
I keep one in my pocket 'case it takes us all night long
A smile in a basket 'll get ya through the day
Don't have to ask it don't have to pay
Don't cost a dime it's free of charge that's what it's for
Pick a smile from the basket on your way out the door
Don't Let the Devil Ride (Traditional)
Snuggling With My Baby (Bill Wharton)
I've been singin the blues about this and that
The good times the bad times the skinny and the fat
Sometimes I'm on top sometimes I fall flat
But now It's all good y'all because of where I'm at
Snugglin with my baby
Snugglin with my baby
When I'm snugglin with my baby
You know it's Christmas time
No need for cryin for cryin out loud
I'm defyin the overblown crowd
I'm relyin on the love that we have now
Snugglin' with my baby's all I need to make me proud
No troubled mind no raging storm
Safe and sound far away from harm
Let the world go by watch tv eat popcorn
Hol' up in our little place where it's nice and warm
Take that gloom with ya when you leave we
Left it all behind us and now we've
Got no more time to to sit around and grieve
We spend all our time on the gift that we receive
BBQ (Bill Wharton, Kendrick Jacobs)
I just love your cookin
Them sweet potato yams
I love your cornbread baby
But I’m crazy bout your hams
Crazy bout your hoppin John
And your catfish too
But mostly I'm just crazy baby
Bout your BBQ
I love me some
I want me some
I need me some
Some o your BBQ
Love is like a barbeque
Fallin off the bone
Something about your BBQ
The best I've ever known
Something bout the way you do
Makes it all your own
Crazy bout your BBQ
I can't leave that stuff alone
Slap a side of bacon
Pick them collard greens
Throw some hot sauce in there
You know what I mean
Get it good and greasy
Simmer it on down
Makin it is easy when ya
Hear that fat back sound
Chicken pork chops okra
Green tomatoes fried
Mac and cheese and black eyed peas and
Mama's pecan pie
Turkey wings and mustard greens
Biscuits on the side
Give me some of your BBQ
And I'll be satisfied
I love me some
Next Time You Wonder (Bill Wharton)
Next time you wonder
Where I went
Remember this day
And the words that I sent
You can see me in the clouds
You can see me in the trees
You can see me in the ocean
In the rocks in the leaves
You can see me in the flowers
That bloom for times like these
You can feel my spirit
Riding on the breeze
Look out the window
Look down the road
Look down into the very
Bottom of your soul
You know I’ll always be there
Because that’s where I’ve been
I left a part of me there
I’ll be there to the end
Look out the window
Look down the road
Look down into the very
Bottom of your soul
