  • Crossroads (buy)
  • It's a long way from home,
    Can't sleep at night.
    Call on your telephone;
    Something just ain't right.
    That's evil, evil is going on wrong.
    I want to warn you brother,
    You better watch your happy home.

    You make it to your house,
    Knock on the front door,
    Run 'round to the back;
    You'll catch him just before he goes.
    That's evil, evil is going on.
    I have warned you brother,
    You better watch your happy home.

    If you call on the telephone
    And she answers long and slow,
    Grab the first thing smoking
    And you have to haul her home. (*)
    That's evil, evil is going on wrong.
    I have warned you brother,
    You better watch your happy home.

    {* This is as close as I can come to something sensible; I'm pretty sure they
    flubbed the line, especially since the only released version is an outtake. The
    original Howlin' Wolf record has Grab the first train smoking if you have to
    hobo. The Jeff Healey Band perform the song on their Cover To Cover album
    with the line Catch that last train out, even if you have to haul. The Eric
    Clapton Book - Easy Guitar lists this line as Grab the first thing smoking,
    and you have ta holler go home. }
