I’m like a puppy at the table
Like a puppy at the table
Gonna jump up just as soon as I am able
Like a puppy at the table
Like a puppy on the floor
I’m like a puppy on the floor
If you rub my belly, I will be back for more
Like a puppy on the floor
I’m not a puppy on a leash
Not a puppy on a leash
Don’t run away, ‘cause I won’t give you fleas
I’m not a puppy on a leash
I’m like a puppy at the table
Like a puppy at the table
Gonna jump up just as soon as I am able
Like a puppy at the table
Walking along the railroad track
Hoping that the night is cold and black
Cause in my mind I cant go back
I’m just walking along the Railroad track
Walking along the track at night
Knowing not a damn thing will turn out right
The strong make the rules, and the winners get to write
What only the dead know happened that night
I once met the devil, met him face to face
In a house full of servants, a luxurious place
I turned down his offer for a futile grace
Such an elegant man, such a beautiful face
Now I’m walking along the railroad track
Hoping that the night is cold and black
Cause in my mind I wont go back
Just walking along the Railroad track

Come home sick and tired, sun be burning my back all day
Woman be there waiting, say honey, where’s’ the pay?
I look down at the dirt, she say we aint had bread for three day
I say woman stop this naggin’, can’t you just go away
She say honey, what’s the problem, I will understan’
I will always be your woman, baby, you my man,
I look down at the dirt, she say we aint had bread for three day
I say woman stop this naggin’, up an’ walk away
Well ol’ Jim had a bottle, so I took eight, nine hit
Come home sloppy drunk, that woman just waitin’ to throw a fit
She say Lord this a fine sight, we aint had bread for three day
I say woman stop this naggin’ can’t you jus’ go away?
Repeat last verse, with Harmonica voicing the last line
He died behind the wheel
And the people who were there
Said he didn’t love his mother
No he really didn’t care
He died behind the wheel
And the people who were there
Said it really was a sight
Yes, that dirty underwear
Dirty underwear, yes that dirty underwear
He didn’t listen to his mother no he really didn’t care
Dirty underwear, yes that dirty underwear
He didn’t listen to his mother no he really didn’t care

Casey’s a puppy, and she barks a lot
But Casey’s the only puppy that we got
She might look harmless, but believe you me
If you were a squirrel you’d be up a tree
‘cause Casey the puppy dog chases squirrels
and Casey the puppy is a very good girl
When she hears the door she barks like a mad dog
When she trees a squirrel, she jumps like a frog
When I ride my bike, she tries to bite the gears,
I like my puppy, but my puppy is weird
‘cause Casey the puppy dog chases squirrels
and Casey the puppy is a very good girl
Casey got sick and kept falling down,
She wound up in the hospital, with no one around
She stayed with the vets for about a week
I was worried they might put puppy to sleep
[Solo passage – blues harp [harmonica]]
Now, Casey the puppy’s running in the yard
She can’t catch the squirrels, but she’s trying hard
Casey’s a puppy, and you heard it here,
I like my puppy, but my puppy is weird
Yeh, I like my puppy, but my puppy is weird

I don’t want to be electric, then I’d have to be plugged in
Maybe I’ll just go kinetic, paint my message on a train
I don’t want to be electric, then I’d have to be plugged in
Maybe I’ll go Democratic, you’ll never hear from me again
Oh my, I’m old and I’m sore, brain the size of some fucking dinosaur’s
Hey, Hey, I don’t know anymore, I must be some kind of fucking dinosaur
I can remember when I used to play,
You pull the harp out of your pants, and just blast away
Now, you need a harp, a mic, an amp, and a stage
And the soundman can make or break your day
Oh my, I’m old and I’m sore, brain the size of some fucking dinosaur’s
Hey, Hey, I don’t know anymore, I must be some kind of fucking dinosaur
Hey, Hey if there’s a God above,
What the Hell happened to Peace and Love?
I said, Hey, Hey if there’s a God above,
What the Hell happened to Peace and Love?
Oh my, I’m old and I’m sore, brain the size of some fucking dinosaur’s
Hey, Hey, I don’t know anymore, I must be some kind of fucking dinosaur
I can remember when I used to play,
pull the harp out of your pants, and just blast away
Now, you need a harp, a mic, an amp, and a stage
And the soundman can make or break your day
Oh my, I’m old and I’m sore, brain the size of some fucking dinosaur’s
Hey, Hey, I don’t know anymore, I must be some kind of fucking dinosaur
The problem I have with homeless people is some days I look like one
The problem I have with homeless people is I have a mother and father
And they have a son
And when the world was cold and rejected me
They took me in and helped me,
They took me in and held me,
They took me in and loved me
And the problem I have with homeless people is they have no one,
And I’m not the one who can help them
The problem I have with homeless people is my faith is not great enough
The problem is I pray for soft times for myself, not for people too rough
My faith won’t move mountains, my faith won’t part the Red Sea,
My faith is pretty damn useless, unless it concerns me
The problem I have with homeless people is they are God’s children
The problem I have is they are His children, and I will reject them
I will reject them from now till the day I pass on
I will reject him as I put a buck in his hand and walk on
The problem I have is I can do nothing, and I have done it
The problem I have is if it’s contagious, I don’t want to catch it
I’ll go out of my way to avoid those that I can
But I will always do the least that I can, because that’s who I am
The problem I have with homeless people is they have no place to sit
And I go to work and I hate it
But it’s all that I got
And I guess it’s a lot
And the problem I have with homeless people is sometimes I know when I’m wrong
And I don’t need no homeless person shuffling along
