A Mess Of Blues, A Little Less Conversation, (Marie's the Name) of His Latest Flame

21. A Mess Of Blues

I just got your letter baby
Too bad you cant come home
I swear I’m goin crazy
Sittin here all alone
Since you’re gone
I got a mess of blues

I aint slept a wink since Sunday
I cant eat a thing all day
Every day is just blue Monday
Since you’ve been away
Since you’re gone
I got a mess of blues

Whoops there goes a teardrop
Rollin down my face
If you cry when you’re in love
It sure aint no disgrace

I gotta get myself together
Before I lose my mind
I’m gonna catch the next train goin
And leave my blues behind
Since you’re gone
I got a mess of blues

Whoops there goes a teardrop
Rollin down my face
If you cry when you’re in love
It sure aint no disgrace

I gotta get myself together
Before I lose my mind
I’m gonna catch the next train goin
And leave my blues behind
Since you’re gone
I got a mess of blues

Since you’re gone I got a mess of blues
Since you’re gone I got a mess of blues

22. A Little Less Conversation

A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation aint satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me baby

Baby close your eyes and listen to the music
Drifting through a summer breeze
Its a groovy night and I can show you how to use it
Come along with me and put your mind at ease

A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation aint satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me baby

Come on baby I’m tired of talking
Grab your coat and lets start walking
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Don’t procrastinate, don’t articulate
Girl its getting late, gettin upset waitin around

A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation aint satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me baby

23. (Marie's the Name) of His Latest Flame

A very old friend came by today
'cause he was telling everyone in town
About the love that he just found
And Marie’s the name of his latest flame

Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
He was gone but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry

He talked and talked and I heard him say
That she had the longest blackest hair
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
And Marie’s the name of his latest flame

Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie’s the name of his latest flame
