T-Bone Shuffle Songtext
von Robert Cray

In our band, we play all different kinds of things
I like gospel, I like jazz and so forth
And I wanna learn a lot about music
And I wanna keep the blues tradition in it too
So we′re just gonna let everything kinda mesh

Tell me what's the reason you keep on teasing me
Tell me what′s the reason you keep on teasing me
Well, I don't understand it, baby
You got me smokin' hard this evening

Now let your hair down
Let′s we have a natural ball
Now let your hair down
Babe, let′s have a natural ball
If you don't let your hair down, sweet mama
Ooh, we can′t have no fun at all


No, you can't take it with you, baby
And that′s one thing for sure
No, no, no, no, you can't take it with you, baby
And I know that′s for sure, yes it is
Man, there ain't nothin' in the world
That a TRC shuffle won′t cure, I swear

You know, once you get it out
Once you, once you know what your problems are
Then you know how to, you know, to, to get rid of ′em
And when, and when people come out and see an entertainer
And, and they watch this guy talkin' about what he′s going through
And they relate to it
Then they, "Hey, this guy, you know
This guy's sharing the same thing I′m doing"
It's real, he′s talkin', talkin' ′bout real life situations
And I feel comfortable being that way

Rather than being all made up and just shuckin′ and jivin'
′Cause, I mean, it's communication with people

Run here, baby, sit down on your daddy′s knee
Run here, baby, sit down on your daddy's knee
I′ve got something here, mama
Something is ailing me, play it, man

Thank you
