Storm Brewin'

There's a storm brewin' - and it's headin' my way
I said there's a storm brewin' - and it's a bad bad day
Clouds gather - and it looks like rain
Nothin' I can do
Get on my knees and pray
There's a train comin' - and it knows my name
Good lord there's a train comin' - and I'm leavin' today
Wheels turnin' - and I'm on my way
Nothin' I can do
Get on my knees and pray
I know where I'm headin' - it's where I'm gonna stay
Oh lord where the sun's shinin' - shinin' every day
No worries - and there ain't no rain
All I'm gonna do
Take my guitar and play
So when the rain's fallin' - and the skies are grey
Oh lord when the blues are callin' - you gotta get away
Keep movin' - where there ain't no pain
All you gotta do
Get on your knees and pray

Hill Country Rain
04:39
|

|
We only left an hour ago, it's gettin' hard to see our way
I know that time is running out, not much light left in the day
The heavy rain is falling hard, escaping from this town
The road ahead is far from clear, so much water we thought we'd drown
We're drivin' in the Hill Country Rain
We're drivin' in the Hill Country Rain
Rosetta playin' on the radio, Didn't it rain children, didn't it rain
Such a sense of irony - our situation's just the same
There's nothin' biblical about this scene but it feels like Judgement Day
There ain't no dove to bring us hope, no light to guide our way
We're drivin' in the Hill Country Rain
We're drivin' in the Hill Country Rain
We only left an hour ago It's gettin' hard to see our way
I know that time is running out, not much light left in the day
The heavy rain is falling hard, escaping from this town
The road ahead is far from clear, so much water we thought we'd drown
We're drivin' in the Hill Country Rain
We're drivin' in the Hill Country Rain

Get Your Stomp On
03:42
|

|
Times are harder than they've been before
Got the rent man knockin' at your bedroom door
Just one thing can get these blues beat
You gotta get your stomp on and move your feet
You gotta get your stomp on
Get your stomp on
Get your stomp on
You gotta get your stomp on and move your feet
Sunk so low, got nothin' to lose
You got great big holes in your stompin' shoes
You need to ditch this crap and hit the street
You gotta get your stomp on and move your feet
You gotta get your stomp on
Get your stomp on
Get your stomp on
You gotta get your stomp on and move your feet
Turn your back on what you know
You know it ain't no use to you any more
You never know where you're going or who you'll meet
When you get your stomp on and move your feet
You gotta get your stomp on
Get your stomp on
Get your stomp on
You gotta get your stomp on and move your feet

Movin' On

The time has come for this old crow to fly
Spent far too long putting dreams aside
So long farewell, I'm moving on
So long farewell, I'm moving on
Worked all my life in a job I hate
Gonna get this done before it's too late
So long farewell, I'm moving on
So long farewell, I'm moving on
So here I go - my guitar and me
No shackles now - just playin' free
So long farewell, I'm moving on
So long farewell, I'm moving on
Just take the chance, you know I gotta try
Cos this old crow, oh he's gonna fly
So long farewell, I'm moving on
So long farewell, I'm moving on
And if I fail - then I know I tried
And I'll see you there - on the other side
So long farewell, I'm moving on
So long farewell, I'm moving on
So long farewell, I'm moving on
So long farewell, I'm moving on

R.J. Blues

He got the music in his soul
He got the music in his soul
He got the music
And he got some place to go
Two years gone to play the blues
Two years gone to play the blues
Two years gone
Son, he gonna spread the news
His soul was sold, that's what they say
His soul was sold, that's what they say
His soul was sold
He'll meet Diablo again some day
Well he did drink and he did fight
He did drink and he did fight
He did drink
Just one last drink, just one last night
He got the music in his soul
He got the music in his soul
He got the music
And he got some place to go

Deathly Blue
04:26
|

|
Put on a record and close my eyes
Be in your presence, go back in time
Listen to your music, hear your voice
Be right beside you, given the choice
To know what you knew, go where you went
To see what you saw and to know what it meant
The lord he was ready, was your turn to move
You nearly made it - he took you too soon
Son took his suitcase and went the same way
A lifetime of preaching and blues he would play
Frozen in time in the words of a song
Judgement Day came and now he is gone
Deathly Blue
Deathly Blue
You play your music - I'll learn from your hand
To know how you lived - then we'd all understand
Just to thank you and play you my song
To teach you the words and have you sing along
You tell me your stories - I'll listen and learn
Your spirit released me - and now it's my turn
I know who you were - walked a mile in your shoes
A life dedicated to playing the blues
You tell me your stories
I'll listen and learn
Your spirit released me
And now it's my turn
I know who you were
Walked a mile in your shoes
A life dedicated to playing the blues
You tell me your stories
Your spirit released me
Walked a mile in your shoes
It's your path that I choose
A life dedicated to playing the blues

Bury My Bones
03:21
|
|||
|
It's November and it's comin' cold
Hung around so long I done got old
The street's not where I wanna be
If it don't change soon, they gonna bury me
My guitar's the only thing I own
It goes with me everywhere I go
And when I play, it sings to me
If it don't change soon, they gonna bury me
I sit me down, for change I play
I get moved on each place I stay
Just a down-and-out, that's what they see
If it don't change soon, they gonna bury me
Lord when I die, I'll need your help
Cos I can't do it all by myself
In Heaven's where I wanna be
Things gonna change soon - and they'll bury me
Don't wanna travel on my own
So when they bury my old bones
Dig it deep and set me free
Just one last favour - bury my guitar with me

If The Cap Fits
03:14
|

|
When the music won't go away
It's all you're feelin' both night and day
If the cap fits - you're gonna wear it someday
You know the blues are in safe hands - hear it echoed across the land
If the cap fits, you're gonna wear it someday
Just keep your head down - that's what they say
Choose your direction - go your own way
If the cap fits - you're gonna wear it someday
When it's rainin' and skies are grey - You bring the sunshine each time you play
If the cap fits - you're gonna wear it someday
Well you ain't cut out to do no nine to five
Just do what you do to keep your soul alive
I know how you feel and it ain't no crime
You'll learn how to deal with these blues in time
Blues in time
When the music won't go away
It's all you're feelin' both night and day
If the cap fits - you're gonna wear it someday

Good Things

CHORUS:
Well my baby, she likes the good things
Well my baby, she likes the good things
She likes silver and gold and great big diamond rings
Work my ass off, bring home the bacon
Work my ass off, bring home the bacon
I just can't please her on the money I'm makin'
*INSTRUMENTAL*
She upped and left me, found someone better
She upped and left me, found someone better
She's been nothin' but trouble since the day I met her
CHORUS
*INSTRUMENTAL*
Kinda miss her, now ain't that funny
Kinda miss her, now ain't that funny
Ain't got no woman, I ain't short o' money
CHORUS x 2

Go It Alone
03:56
|

|
When trouble's on your trail
When others see you fail
Be strong, you don't need no-one
Brother, go it alone
When you're needy, no-one cares
You reach out - there's no-one there
Look within and you will find you
Brother, go it alone
If you're lonely, on your own
All your loved ones upped and gone
Close your eyes and say a prayer now
Brother, go it alone
When you're beaten, feeling low
When you've got no place to go
Stand up and be a man now
Brother, go it alone
Yes, brother, go it alone

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.

Dirty South Blues
by Robert Connely Farr
supported by 6 fans who also own โThe Blues Continuumโ
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 ๐
