You know I got a letter from a friend of mine
In Newcastle-Upon-a'Tyne the other day
He said to me "Eric I heard you've been havin' some trouble down in the smoke with the girls"
He said "You wanna catch that flyin' Scotsman back up here to Newcastle,
'Cause we've got enough females to go around up here
And I can figure you can find yourself a little somethin'
And because people around here don't go away stealin' each others loved ones away from one another,
Like they do down there in the smoke"
He also said in the letter that, ah,
Things don't happen like that here on Tyne
And I believed every word he said, now
Things don't happen like that here on Tyne
One more thing he told me now
Things don't happen like that here on Tyne
He said to me babe
Things don't happen like that here on Tyne
He said, all right, all right
So I'm sayin' to you who are listen'
If you've been unlucky in love
And you've lost somebody love
And you hear a voice that comes to you in the middle of the night and says
It says I want you to get on up
Listen to me,
I want you to get on up and find yourself another one
If your havin' breakfast one morning and out from behind the teapot a little voice says,
Listen, Hey! I want you to get on up now
If your out in the mornin' on your job
And a voice come to you on your job and says,
Get up! Get Up!
And you know its not the foreman
Its a little voice that says
You wanna get up and walk ...(?) women
Go on and find yourself somebody
That's what you'd better do.
Because I'll tell you one thing
There's one thing I found out
One thing I found out
Took me a long time to find it out
Yeahit took me a long time to find out
But I,.think I got it now
Oh yeah..
One monkey don't stop no show
Yes, its true baby
One monkey don't stop no show
Don't let one monkey stop up your show
One monkey don't stop no show
One monkey don't stop no show

"This song was written by John Lee Hooker
About his wife, her name is Maudie
Everytime he has an arguement with her
He has to write a new verse to keep her happy
He was over here at London a short while back
And he taught me this song .......?"
Oh Maudie, baby, I love you
Mmm, baby, I love you
Yeah, you've been gone so long
Girl, I miss you so
Oh Maudie, why did you hurt me?
Mmm, Maudie, I said why did you hurt me?
You know I need your sweet lovin' like a flower needs the rain
Sometimes when they'd have an argument
He'd take her by the hand and say,
"Maudie, you know I love you
You know I need you
And I got just one thing to say baby.ho!"
Hey Maudie, baby don't you know I love you
Oh, Maudie, I said baby don't you know I love you
I've been gone so long, God, I miss you so much
Sometimes Johns old lady
She'd turn around to him and say,
"John, if you don't quit your messin' around baby,
I'm gonna walk right outta that door
With my bag in my hand."
John would say, "Hey!"
Well, Maudie, sweet little girl, baby,
Oh Maudie, be my sweet little girl, baby,
When you touch my hand
My head is all in a whirl now baby
I love you Maudie
I said I love you Maudie
Oh, love you Maudie
Ooh, love you Maudie
You know I need, I need, I need, need, yeah
I said Maudie, baby, I love you
Oh Maudie, baby, I love you
I love you Maudie
You've been gone so long,
How I've missed you too much
I love you.

Girl, what have I done?
For you to mistreat me this way
I'm left out of everything
Each and every day
I'm just an outcast
I don´t know how long I'm goin' to last
Lord, when will it be over
Baby, come on and help me discover
I guess I've got to do my best
But my girl gives me unhappiness
Lord, no matter how hard I try
Tears keep comin' down from my eyes
I'm just an outcast
I don't know how long I´m gonna last
Lord, when will it be over
Baby, come on and help me discover
[Instrumental break: guitar-organ exchanges]
You know, I'm just a young boy
But she treats me like last year's toy
I want her, for myself
I want her and nobody else
I'm just an outcast
Don't know how long I can last
Oh, when will it be over
Baby, come on and help me discover
I'm just an outcast--
Waauuggh!--
An' I don't know how long I can last--
Ow!--
I think I can make it--
I've got to try and make it--
Waauuggh!

They're really rocking in Boston,
In Philadelphia PA,
Deep in the heart of Texas,
On down the Frisco Bay.
All over Saint Louis
And down in New Orleans.
All the cats want to dance with
Sweet little sixteen.

Sweet little sixteen,
She's just got to have
About half a million
Framed autopraphs.
Her wall is filled with pictures,
She gets them one by one.
Becomes so excited,
Oh watch her at the run boy.

Oh mommy mommy,
Please may I go.
You know it's such a sight to see
Somebody steal the show.
Oh daddy daddy,
I beg of you.
Please say it to mommy
It's alright with you.

Sweet little sixteen
She's got the grown up blues.
Tight dresses and lipstick,
She's sporting in high heeled boots.
Oh but tomorrow morning
She'll have to change her trend
Become sweet sixteen
And back in class again.

They're really rocking in Boston,
In Philadelphia PA,
Deep in the heart of Texas
And down the Frisco Bay.
All over Saint Louis,
On down in New Orleans.
All the cats want to dance with
Sweet little sixteen.

Hey!
Love her in the evenin'
Show your home at night
Always a little lover
She will treat you right
Does she act good?
Does she talk nice?
Does she dress cool?
She's nobody's fool
Set her soul on fire
And make love to your one desire
Love her.. and she'll return it
Oh
She don't need no mustang
No parkling penthouse too
All she wants is your lovin'
All she wants is you
Does she speak french?
Act cool?
She'll cook soul food, know what I mean
Set her soul on fire
And make love to your one desire
She will love you, if you return it
Oh
Keep her warm in winter
Protect her when it's warm
Love her, love her, love her
And your love will go on and on
Does she speak french?
She will love you
No one above you
Give you children, if you want any
Set her soul on fire
And make love to your one desire
She will love you, if you return it
I got one thing I gotta say..
Return it
Return my love
Return my love
Return my love...
