James Alley Blues (with Roger McGuinn) (Live)

Times right now ain't nothin' like they used to be Well times right now ain't nothin' like they used to be You know I'll tell you all the truth, won't you take my word from me Well I seen better days, but I ain't puttin' up with these Well I've seen better days, but I ain't puttin' up with these I had a lot better time with those women down in New Orleans Well I was born in the country so she thinks I'm easy to lose Well I was born in the country so she thinks I'm easy to lose She wants to hitch me to a wagon and drive me like a mule I bought her a gold ring and I pay the rent I bought her a gold ring and I pay the rent She tried to get me to wash her clothes but I got good common sense Well if you don't want me then why don't you just tell me so Well if you don't want me then why don't you just tell me so It ain't like I'm a man that ain't got nowhere else to go I give you sugar for sugar, but all you want is salt for salt I give you sugar for sugar, but all you want is salt for salt Well if you can't get along with me, then it's your own fault Well, you want me to love you, but then you just treat me mean Yea, you want me to love you, but then you just treat me mean You're my daily thought and you're my nightly dream Well, sometimes I think that you're just too sweet to die Ah, sometimes I think that you're just too sweet to die And other times I think that you ought to be buried alive
