Fox In The Hen House
Words and Music by JS Blues
There’s a fox in the hen house,
Tell Farmer Joe to get his gun
Now, there’s a fox in the hen house,
Tell Farmer Joe to get his gun
Better fire one over his head, now
And watch that rascal run!
Now, Farmer Joe sent in his hound dog
To chase that rascal out
Said, Farmer Joe sent in his hound dog
To chase that rascal out
But, the dog comes out with egg on his tail
And Feathers all over his snout
(Should have known not to trust that egg sucking dog!)
(Solo)
Now, the hen house is a rockin’
From midnight ’til morning sun
Yes, the hen house is a rockin’
From midnight ’til morning sun
There’s a fox in the hen house
The ladies sure are havin’ some fun!
Now, there’s a fox in the hen house
There’s a fox in the hen house
Said, there’s a fox in the hen house
There’s a fox in the hen house
There’s a fox in the hen house
The ladies sure be havin’ some fun!
Shut The Door
Words and Music by JS Blues
You know, I told miss Daisy I loved her
And there’s nothing that I want more
Than to take her by the hand, and be her only man
I ain’t never felt this way before
She looked me in the eye, and gave me her reply she said…
Shut the door!
Chorus
Shut the door. My Daisy told me, shut the door.
She left my heart on the floor, I guess that’s what a mop is for. Shut the door.
So, I went to see miss Daisy’s mama
My love for Daisy I was confessin’
On bended knee, I made my plea
I ask the lady for her blessing
She said my baby girl needs more, and I am just too poor
And then she shut the door!
Chorus
Shut the door. The lady she shut the door. Lord have mercy.
Like her daughter I adored, she gave me the what for and then she, Shut the door!
Solo
So, if Cupid knocks and tries to sell you
What you bought a hundred times before
Don’t believe the sales pitch, ’cause love can be a bitch
You’ve fallen for that scam before
Those arrows may be cute, but give the Cherub the boot, and then you
Shut the door!
Chorus
Shut the door. It’s time to go and shut the door.
Fool me once, shame on you ’cause I’m not fallen for number two.
Shut the door!
Chorus
Shut the door. My Daisy told me shut the door.
It’s O.K., It’s alright, I’m going out on the town tonight. Shut the door.
I gotta go, I’ll see you later The girl had a mouth like an alligator! Shut the door.
It may be mean, it may be crass, but don’t let it hit you in your ass.
Shut the door! (That’s what I’m talking about)

Which one can I do for you?

Crying (Reprise)
Words and Music by JS Blues
If time heals wounds
And helps ease the pain
Then somebody tell me
Why it just grows deeper every day?
They say faith will lead you
Oh, but someone is lying
I can’t find a reason
I am crying
(Solo)
Now, days last forever
The nights so dark and cold
And someone or something
Has taken away my very soul
Inside I am empty
Although, I am trying
I have no more to give
I am crying
(Solo)
Best Friends
Words and Music by JS Blues
You and me
We’ve been friends since we we’re kids
And we stood up for each other
No matter what we did
Sometimes we were angels
And sometimes we got caught
Maybe we didn’t conquer the world
But, we gave it our best shot
And the best part of every adventure
Was spending time with my best friend
Now, our lives, they have changed a lot
The two of us are older
But one thing that has stayed the same
We still stand shoulder to shoulder
And we have celebrated good things
Each and every year
And when the times, they weren’t so good
We even cried some tears
And I will always be your solid rock
That you can stand on, again and again
And I will always have your back
Cause we will always be best friends
(Solo)
And I will always be your solid rock
That you can count on, again and again
And I will always have your heart
Cause you and I are very best friends
I Was Born To Sing The Blues
Words and Music by JS Blues
I was born to play this guitar
Every chord, and every note
And I was born to sing this song
And every line that I wrote
And every minute, of every day
It makes me feel good
Chorus
No need for worries
And every time I’m on the stage
I share my stories with you
‘Cause I was born to sing the blues, yeah
The blues are made for everyone
Every color and every creed
A simple message that can lift you up
And change your life if you believe
‘Cause there are times you need a friend
To help you through
Chorus
And when you’re down, you’re not alone
Just switch on your radio and they’re be there for you
Because we are all born to live the blues
(Solo)
‘Cause every day we all sing the blues
Tell Me Why
Words and Music by JS Blues
I lay a wreath
On the frozen ground
A teardrop rolls down my face
It’s been 3 years
Since that darkest of days
But, it still feels like yesterday
What kind of demon
Crept up on you
And wrapped around your whole life?
Nobody knew
How badly you hurt
We can’t find a reason why?
Chorus
If only you could have seen
The love surrounding you
If only you called on your friends
We were there, for you
But now, you’ve been taken away
And there’s nothing more that anyone can do
Will someone please tell me one thing
Tell me why? Tell me why?
(Solo)
I pray one day
I’ll see you again
When I look up at the sky
Until that day
I’ll hurt deep inside
Will someone please, tell me why?
Please, tell me why?
TV Preacher
Words and Music by JS Blues
His right hand up to God
His left one in his pocket
The man lights up a stage
Like a fork stuck in a socket
He tells you life is great
The skies will soon be sunny
The Lord will stop the rain
If you just send him your money
Chorus
TV Preacher
Loves his fortune and fame
TV Preacher
The Devil knows your name
His net worth is in the millions
He’s got the greatest toys
When the whore last night got boring
He called on his alter boys
His wife thinks he’s a holy man
His kids worship him too
When it all falls down on top his head
What will the Savior do?
Chorus
TV Preacher
Almighty and all knowing
TV Preacher
It’s hot down where you’re going!
(Solo)
Chorus
TV Preacher
You kept everybody guessing
TV Preacher
It’s time for your confessions
You dug yourself deep
So, deep in a hole
TV Preacher
It’s time to save your soul
Quiet Moment
Words and Music by JS Blues
And in this quiet moment
The world, it fades away
The morning sun just rising
Shines in to kiss your face
And as you lie there sleeping
My mind is swept away
I have no words to say
My only thought today is you
(Solo)
If one night you are sleeping
And I’m still awake
A falling star I’m seeing
Will grant a wish my way
I want a quiet moment
For each and every day
And when that wish comes true
Each day I wake, I’ll be with you
