Joe Cocker – The Letter

give me a ticket for an airoplane
i ain’t got time to take no fast train
oh ,the lonely days are gone
i’ll be right home
my baby she wrote me a letter

i don’t care how much money i got to spend

oh the lonely days are gone
i’ll be right home
my baby, she wrote me a letter

oh ,the lonely days are gone
i’ll be back home
my baby she wrote me a letter

[solo]

i ain’t got time to take no fast train
oh ,the lonely days are gone
i’ll be back home
my baby she wrote me a letter

my baby wrote me a letter
my baby wrote me a letter
my baby wrote me a letter

Taj Mahal – Cakewalk Into Town 1973

I had the blues, so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown
You know I’m feeling so much better, I could cakewalk into town

Honey, I woke up this mornin’ feelin’ so good, you know I laid back down again
Throw your big leg over me mama, I might not feel this good again

My baby, my baby, I do love the way she walks
And when my woman gets sleepy, I love the way she baby-talks

My work is getting scarce, oh baby, my work it done got hard,
I spend my whole day stealin’ chickens Honey from the rich folks yard

I would love to take a picnic in the country and stay all day
I wouldn’t do nothing but while my blues away

I had the blues so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown
You know I’m feelin’ so much better I could cakewalk into town

Local Man Charged with Crimes Against Humanity

MUDCAT FALLS — In the first of its kind legal case, a local man has been charged with crimes against humanity for disabling safety devices and failing to follow product warning labels.

“Of course, we are serious,” said Calabash County Prosecutor Drew Phillips at a press conference. “The willful disregard for government-mandated safety is every bit as serious a threat to life as we know it on this planet as the use of fossil fuels, plastic drinking straws and InfoWars.com. You don’t think Congress is down there in Washington DC legislating for the hell of it, do you?”

Paul Rush is alleged to have transferred his medications to regular non-locking screw-top jars, applied lawn fertilizer without fully following label instructions, disabled the kill switch on his lawnmower, eaten undercooked meat, disconnected the seatbelt warning bell in his car, and chronically washed his hands for less than two full choruses of “Happy Birthday” after using public restrooms.

“If my client wasn’t a libertarian before, he sure is now,” said attorney Steve Dallas, who is defending Rush, “There should be a warning label on government that reads ‘keep out of the reach of idiots,’ for crying out loud.”

Authorities were alerted to Rush’s crime spree by his neighbor, a Democrat Precinct Captain, who was offended by his red baseball cap.

“It’s all a yuge misunderstanding,” said Dallas. “He’s a St. Louis Cardinals fan.”
