Canned Heat - Sandy's Blues Lyrics






I need you, babe, yeah, you know it's true
I need a woman that won't play me for no fool
When things go wrong, yeah baby
Yeah child, sometimes I cry for you
Yeah babe, I'm gonna cry for you

A man needs a woman to tell his troubles to
I swear don't you know, babe, yes it's you
When things go wrong, yeah baby, yeah
Yeah child, I cry for you
Don't you know I love you, babe, I'm gonna cry for you

You've got a good woman, I want you to take her everywhere you go
Please, treat her kinda gentle, babe, just so she'll know
When things go wrong, yeah baby
Yeah babe, I'm gonna cry for you
I'm gonna shed tears, child, I'm gonna cry for you
Now won't you [?]

We're all telling the truth now, darling
It's the blues now

Now I want you all to stand up right now and put your hands on the woman that you love

When things go wrong, yeah baby
It's gonna, it's gonna make me cry for you
Yeah child, I'm gonna cry for you

You know, people always asking me: 'Big Fat, why you always sing a sad sad song?'
Well, you know, I have me a little girl in Cleveland
You know, it's heard to makes me sing, this here song
I told her, when you need somebody to call your own
I'll be your leading post when you come home
Just remember, darling, when you get yourself together
Yeah child, don't you know I'm gonna cry for you?
Don't you know, child, I'm gonna cry for you?

Well, that's my story, yeah I just told you, baby
[?]

When things go wrong, yeah baby
I'll cry for you
Don't you know, child, I'm gonna cry for you?

    Το be a musician without cryin'it out loud,needs lots of sensivity.Every piece every note of this group proves it!!

    In case it hasn't been pointed out, the name of this legendary song is Sandy's Blues. It is important to get song titles right, to show respect for history, for the band, for your audience.

    I wore out 3 vinyl copies of this album. Have it on CD too. Most excellent Canned Heat.

  11. M.... ....

    One of my all-time favorite songs from one of my all-time favorite bands.  So sadly under-appreciated, especially now.

  12. E.... B....

    The rhythm guitar sounds so much like another song but I can't figure out which one. I though one by janis joplin but couldn't find it. The same rhythm is played with piano or trumpets, or both. If anyone has the same feeling and finds out which song, please enlighten me!

    E.... B....

    to love somebody bro

    E.... B....
