Empress of The Blues
It’d rained for days and the sky is dark….
Then I see her shoes….. I thought it was….
The Empress….of The Blues
The eyes of the woman, I met down the trail Was dark as her fingers, covered with soil
She came to me as She sang the truth
I know now; it was The Empress of The Blues
The truth She was singing, ‘bout her own life in vain
A life filled with sorrow, hard work and pain
A life of segregation, a life with the blues
I know now, it was The Empress of The Truth
The Fields of Mississippi was when as cold snow
But it was Black hands that picked them white balls row by row
The Lady was singing ‘bout their backs how they hurt
I know now, She was The Empress of The Dirt

Riding With The Devil
Horseback riding was never my thing
To me a horse is just too big
Much to nervous, way too tall
Too hard kicking, imagine it all
(the) Heroes from the western scene
Is Riding With The Devil, see what I mean
Now it is my turn to put on my boots
Jump up in the saddle and find the groove
Show who’s the boss, prove who’s The King
Stay on top of the Devil and riiiide…
Heroes from the western scene
Is Riding With The Devil, see what I mean
«Heroes from the western scene
Is Riding With The Devil, see what I mean»
Well, I was on top for a little while
Felt just good, Had a good time
(but) Reality kicked in and I said to myself:
«This horse is riding me,
I’m just a part of his game»
Heroes from the western scene
Is Riding With The Devil, see what I mean
Heroes from the western scene
Is Riding With The Devil, see what I mean
Horseback riding was never my thing
To me a horse is just too big
Much to nervous, way too tall
Too hard kicking, imagine it all
Heroes from the western scene
Is Riding With The Devil,
Is Riding With The Devil,
Is Riding With The Devil,
Is Riding With The Devil,
Is Riding With The Devil
Is Riding With The Devil’il’il’il’il’il’il
