This page contains lyrics to the following song(s):

Ludella
Sloppy Drunk
That's Alright

Ludella

Recorded in 1949 and issued under the name of "James A. Lane" (= Jimmy Rogers). This was actually take two.


1st verse:
Now Ludella you know I even painted your house red
I got you everything you need
Now Ludella you done start some side stuff baby
You're runnin' around on me
But Ludella, Ludella
Baby don't you hear me callin' you
Now you know I did all in the world I could Ludella
Baby just tryin' to get along with you

2nd verse:
Now I said goodbye Ludella baby
I declare I'm through with you
You can keep on runnin' around woman, I don't
Care what in the world you do
But Ludella, Ludella
Baby don't you hear me callin' you
Now I did everything in this world
Baby and I can't get along with you

Sloppy Drunk

This was transcribed from a radio broadcast of a 1972 recording.

Sloppy Drunk (Jimmy Rogers)

I would rather be sloppy drunk, than anything I know
I would rather be sloppy drunk, than anything I know
Give me another half a pint boy, then you will see me go

Now I love that moonshine whiskey now, tell the world I do
Yes I love that moonshine whiskey now, tell the world I do
Now this is the reason why that I drink, I'm just trying to get along with you

I said oh, oh, bring me another half a pint
I said mmmmh, bring me another half a pint
Well I believe I'll get drunk boy, and then we gonna rock this joint

Well I love that moonshine whiskey now, tell the world I do
Yes I love that moonshine whiskey now, tell the world I do
Now this is the reason why that I drink, I'm just trying to get along with you

I said oh, oh, bring me another half a pint
I said mmmmh, bring me another half a pint
Well I believe I'll get drunk boy, and then we gonna rock this joint

That's Alright

This was transcribed from a radio broadcast of a 1972 recording. As you can see (hear?) Freddie King played in the band too.

That's Alright (Jimmy Rogers)
 - Jimmy Rogers, 1972

You told me baby, once upon a time
You said if I would be yours, you would sure be mine
That's alright
I know you don't love me no more baby, but that's alright
Every night and day I wonder who is loving you tonight

You told me baby, your love for me was strong
When I woke up little girl, half of this big world was gone
That's alright
I guess I'll never be the same but that's alright
Every night and day I wonder who is loving you tonight

(Play the blues for me Freddie King!)

Please tell me baby, what's getting wrong with you?
You don't treat me halfway right baby, look a like you used to do
But that's alright
I guess I'll never be the same but that's alright
Every night and day I wonder who is loving you tonight
