The Saturday and Sunday Blues © & Published 1998-2012 by The Songs of Our Lives Publishing Words & Music By: James (Jimmy Mack) McIntosh Song KEY: E You've got everything to loose, when you get the Saturday and Sunday blues. I said, you've got everything to loose, when you get the Saturday and Sunday blues. If hard luck and troubles hit you on Friday, you got the Saturday and Sunday blues. Friday morning I got up, why not I had nothin' to loose. I went to have some coffee, it had all been used. So I went to take a shower, only cold water came through. I'm afraid to start my car, I’ve got the Saturday and Sunday blues. By the time I got to work, my job was nowhere to be found, the building I worked in had burned to the ground. You've got everything to loose, when you get the Saturday and Sunday blues. So I decided to go back home, found my woman with another man. Let me tell you people they weren’t just holding hands. You got everything to loose, when you've got the Saturday and Sunday blues, Saturday and Sunday blues. You'll know you've lost it all, when you get the Saturday and Sunday blues. I said when you've lost everything there is to loose, you've got the Saturday and Sunday blues.

Wake Up Call © & Published 1998-2012 By Songs of Our Lives Publishing Words & Music By: James (Jimmy Mack) McIntosh Song key: A You never know what's gonna happin' when you wake up. You won't know if the day will bring good or bad stuff. So why not wake up with good things on your mind, you might find out everything's gonna be fine. If it starts out good you might just go along. If it starts out bad you might just sing a song. If it starts out sad you just might still be glad. Tomorrow's another day no matter what goes wrong. You get a wake up call and that ain't all. You get a wake up call and that ain't all. I suggest some good blues tunes will take care of it all. Early in the morning when you get a wake up call. I get up slow i'm evil in the morning. You can't start me talkin' at the break of dawn. Hey, hey birdie can you help me sing my song. Hey somebody give me a wake up call. Wake me up now! Now you can think it over what the night might bring. I won't guarantee it will bring only, good things. But if you keep a clear head maybe things won't be so bad. So if you hear a good blues song just sing along. Sing along with me now You get a wake up call and that ain't all, all right. You get a wake up call and that ain't all. I suggest a good blues song will take care of it all. Early in the morning when you get a wake up call. You get a wake up call and that ain't all, all right. You get a wake up call and that ain't all. I suggest a good blues song will take care of it all. Early in the morning when you get a wake up call. Hear me now! Early in the morning when you get a wake up call. Early in the morning when you get a wake up call.

Telling Stories © & Published 1998-2012 By Songs Of Our Lives Publishing Music By: James (Jimmy Mack) McIntosh Words By: Deidre Lutts Key: G God gave me a mind for telling stories, and my baby she calls them lies. She said, come on home for breakfast. And I find her hanging clothes on the line. She's been smoking my tobacco and the neighbors they got eyes, they know her kids ain't got no daddy and my wife ain't got no prize. He ain't the man he used to be, you can see it in their eyes. They ain't telling stories, and they ain't about to tell no lies. Because god gave me a gift for stories and my wife she calls them lies. She said come on home for breakfast and her eggs they drive me wild. The bacon's in the icebox, and her potatoes are the best home made fries. I told her I found work in Nashville and she knew it was a lie. He ain't the man he used to be, you can see it in their eyes. They ain't telling stories, and they ain't telling lies. He ain't the man he used to be, you can see it in their eyes. They ain't telling stories, they ain't about to tell no lies. But God he gave me stories though the wife she calls them lies I used to know my name, I can no longer tell the time look me up in Nashville, I’ll be sitting with my wine because God he gave me stories, and I’ve told them way past my prime. He ain't the man he used to be, you can see it in their eyes. They ain't telling stories, they ain't telling lies. He ain't the man he used to be, you can see it in their eyes. They ain't telling stories, and there's always a price to lies.

For Crying Out Loud © & Published 1998-2012 By Songs Of Our Lives Publishing Words & Music By: James (Jimmy Mack) McIntosh Song Key: C For crying out loud why you going so fast. Slow down and catch up, catch up to the rest. The world is going pass you, might even harass you, get yourself together, you might catch up to the weather. For crying out loud what is going wrong? Every time you walk out, you walk into a storm. Times are tough, everything got rough, you don't seem to care. Everybody's pulling for you, and you don't wanna share. All the things people can do for you, and you don't wanna try. All the times you let love pass you by, even when it hits you in the eye. All the things people can do for you, you don't wanna try. All the times you let love pass you by, even when it hits you in the eye. For crying out loud, let's not take that drink. Stand up and fight, get right back in the ring, you can show yourself what you're all about. All the people can scream and shout. For crying out loud, for crying out loud, i think you know what it's all about. For crying out loud, for crying out loud, I think you know you gotta scream and shout. For crying out loud, for crying out loud, I think you've found out what it's all about. For crying out loud, for crying out loud, I think you know you gotta scream and shout.
