No Reason For Livin'
(from the Soundtrack of the Motion Picture "Janis" )

I ain't got no reason to livin', I can't find no cause to die
Lord, I ain't got no reason for livin', you give me no cause to die
Lord, I ain't got no reasons for stay here, give me no cause to try
I got these blues, I gotta find me that middle road

Well, I ain't got mother to love me, ain't got no father to care
Lord, I ain't got mother to love me, ain't got no father to care
Lord, I ain't got no reasons to go on, give me no cause to stay here
I got these blues, I gotta finally know why

Well, I ain't got no reason for walkin', I guess I'm gonna fall or standstill
Lord, I ain't got no reason for walkin', guess I'm gonna fall or standstill
Lord I ain't got no reason for goin', give me no cause to stay here
I got these blues, Lord I gotta finally know why

Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out
(from the Soundtrack of the Motion Picture "Janis" )

Well, once I lived the life of a millionaire, spending my money, no, I didn't care
Takin' my friend John out for a mighty good time
Buyin' high-priced liquor, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low, didn't have a friend, nor no place to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm goin' to hold on to it until the eagle grins

Soon as I get back up on my feet again, everybody wants to be my long-lost friend
It's might strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when you're down and out

Lord, soon as I get up on my feet again, everybody wants to be my long-lost friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
That's what I mean, when you're down and out

Oh My Soul
(recording of July 28 1966, San Francisco )

(spoken: This is an ol' Little Richard tune called "Oh My Soul")

Oh, my soul!
Oh, my soul!

Baby baby baby, give me all the love you've got
Don't you know you've got the best love in the house
I said love, I said love, oh, my soul!

Baby baby baby love your daddy all night long
Baby, baby, love you all night long
Love you, I'm gonna kiss you, oh, my soul!

Now baby baby, well you drive me crazy
Oh, baby baby, well you drive me crazy
I said love, I said love, oh, my soul!

Baby baby, you drive me crazy
Baby baby, ah you drive me crazy
I said love,I said love...

Baby baby, drive me crazy, love you all night long
Oh, baby, love you, love you all night long
I said baby, I said baby, oh, my soul!

(spoken: Thank you very much)

One Night Stand

When I'm on the road playin' in a town without a name,
And I'm feelin' low an' everybody looks the same.
Well, you catch my eye, and then you come on strong an' try to make your play.
Just because we loved tonight, please don't you think it's gonna stay that way.

Don't you know that you're nothin' more than a one night stand.
Tomorrow I'll be on my way, an' you can catch me if you can.
Honey, take me by the hand and play that game again, yeah.

Everywhere I go, the people wanna make some time with me.
That's okay, if the next day I can be free.
Well, it's feelin' good and you're the one I'm lovin' tonight,
Well, don't you go and spoil it, babe, by trying to get yourself all uptight.

Don't you know that you're nothing more than a one night stand.
I'll be on my way an' you can catch me if you can.
Honey, take me by the hand and play that game again, yeah!!!

St. James Infirmary

I went down to old Joe's bar room, on the corner by the square
Well, the drinks were bein' served as usual, and this motley crowd was there

Well, on my left stood Joe McKennedy, and his eyes were bloodshot red
When he told me that sad story, these were the words he said:

I went down to the St. James infirmary, I saw my baby there
She was stretched out on a long white table, so cold, and fine, and fair
Go ahead!

Let her go, let her go, God bless her, wherever she may be
She can search this world over, never find another man like me

Yes, sixteen coal black horses, to pull that rubber tied hack
Well, it's seventeen miles to the graveyard, but my baby's never comin' back

Well, now you've heard my story, well, have another round of booze
And if anyone should ever, ever ask you, I've got the St. James infirmary blues!

Whisperman

People come around the window,
People come around the door
People come around and ask me
If I can say some more
'Cause I'm a whisperman, yes I am!

I can read somebody's back hand, and I can read your mind
What you need is body heat, ask for it any time
'Cause I'm a whisperman, yeah, yes I am!

I can see up your staircase, and I can see down your hall,
I can see almost anything, or anything at all,
'Cause I'm a whisperman, yeah, yes I am!

I can see behind your eyelid,
I can see behind your head
I can only check you on the windshield,
Write them on your bed.
'Cause I'm a whisperman, yeah, yes I am!
