So Many Roads To Ramble  copyright 2003  Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
So many roads to ramble, stormy seas to cross / So many roads to ramble, stormy seas to cross / This lonesome life is such a gamble, true love is often lost / So many words unspoken, many tales untold / So many words unspoken, many tales untold
So many hearts have been broken, and lovers left out in the cold / So many songs to sing, so many tales to tell / So many good intentions pave the road to Hell / When romance is the cost and love begins to die / So many chances lost, the lovers were afraid to die / How often times I've wondered about women and their men / They tell each other that they're sorry / Then they do it all again / How many times I've wondered 'bout the ways of fools in love / They're convinced that their good fortune is sent down from up above / But when the road gets rocky and their romance falls apart / They disavow religion and curse their broken hearts / So many miles to cover before we reach the end / When every fool and friend and lover has to stop and start again.

Danger In a Midnight Smile  copyright 1990 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
Danger in a midnight smile / Danger in her hypnotic style / knees weaken when I watch her walk / heart breaks when I hear her talk / in spite of all the danger sign I'm gonna make her mine / Black magic in a midnight glance / this could be tragic / still I gotta take a chance / my mind reminds me I should turn away, / I want to live to love another day /  in spite of all the danger sign I'm gonna make her mine / Danger in a midnight kiss / she's a stranger, this could be hit or miss/ no way to know if I'm a foe or a friend / I'm gonna hang until the bitter end /  in spite of all the danger sign I'm gonna make her mine / Disaster in her painted lips / walk past her and feel her fingertips / I'm so excited I can't catch my breath / my heart attacks me and I'm scared to death /  in spite of all the danger sign I'm gonna make her mine /

Night Rider  copyright 1986 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
I travel by the stars,  moonlight lights my way / I travel by the stars moonlight lights my way / I'm a nightrider can't stand the light of day?When you ride by night you don't see where you been / When you ride by night you don't see where you been / So there's no regret when the passion passes on again / chorus:  / I come sneakin', creepin' slippin, slidin' silently on my way / Gonna grip you, grab you, gonna stun you, gonna stab you / ‘Til the sun lights up the day / I'm a night rider you're never gonna see my face / Make no mistake...it was me, / I spent the evening at your place / You'll never see me when I go sneakin' by / You'll never see me when I go sneakin' by / but you'll feel my touch know my mournful cry / chorus:

Still Blue Cuz I Don't Have You  copyright 1995  Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
I got a pin stripe suit, alligator shoes / Got a pork pie hat and the walking blues / I got a Rolex watch and a little bit of time to lose / But I’m still blue cuz I don’t have you / Got a pocket fulla money all in 20 dollar bills/ Got a big old house up on the top of the hill/ Got a Cadillac and I got a chauffeur too / But I’m still blue cuz I don’t have you / Man, this life’s mystery/ Earthly possessions just don’t meant that much to me / Mister all that glistens isn’t gold / What you gonna do when there is no one home to hold / Got a big screen TV with remote control/ Got a CD player playing that rock n’ roll / Got a VCR and I get the satellite too / But I’m still blue cuz I don’t have you / Oh, what’s the use of living high / Everything they’re givin is just pie up in the sky / I got power and wealth, hell I even got my health / Still there’s something special that I need / Got an offshore bank, a stock portfolio / Got a Lear jet waiting and it’s raring to go / I got a lot of everything it’s true / But I’m still blue cuz I don’t have you

With or Without  copyright 1990 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
Can't live with‘em, can't live without / Make you wanna tear your hair, make you wanna jump and shout / Believe you oughta leave’em, but there's a lingering doubt / Can't live with ‘em, can't live without / Hurts when you're together, hurts when you're apart  You’re in for nasty weather / You're gonna end up with a broken heart / But there's something about that impetuous pout / Can't live with’em, can't live without / It’s unreal, how do they always gain control / You feel a funky feeling deep inside your soul / Hate it when you’re with’em, miss’em when they’re gone / You don't know how you stand it / But your love for them goes on and on / Mass confusion is what it's all about / Can't live with’em, can't live with out / Can't breathe, you wonder why you feel this way / Can't leave, the pull is stronger every day / You fight for independence but you feel like a slave / Wrap the love around you, gonna end up in the  grave / Masochism is what it's all about / Can't live with’em, can't live without

Blood Red Sunset  copyright 1990 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
It was a blood red sunset in a gray Nagoya sky / It was a blood red sunset in a gray Nagoya sky / Black smoke from the rice fields burnin' in my eyes / I saw a gray-haired stranger, 10,000 miles from home / I saw a gray-haired stranger, 10,000 miles from home / And the blues was on him like a dog is on a bone / Too old to ramble, too young to settle down / Too old to ramble, too young to settle down / His consolation roaming from town to town / When you see him passing, please don't shed a tear / When you see him passing, please don't shed a tear / He knows he's lucky to be livin.  He's just happy to be here

All of These Blues  copyright 1988 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson / Erkan Ogur
Rain is rainin', water is flowing / Nothin' but clouds through the window I see / All of these blues, all of these blues are fallin' on me / I have no pleasure, don't have no pain / Even my supper don't satisfy me / All of these blues, all of these blues are fallin' on me / I can't stand the rain, I can't stand the pain / I can't stand the dirty day-to-day / I can't stand this knife cutting at my life / I can't stand here feeling this a way / Now the rain is freezin', snow is fallin' / The ice in my heart is for love that can't be / All of these blues, all of these blues are fallin' on me

Nobody's Fault But Mine  copyright 1990 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
She's gone and it's nobody's fault but mine  / She's gone it was too much whiskey, too much wine / She's gone and now I'm crying all the time / She's gone and it's nobody's fault but mine / She's gone, I declare I was a fool / She's gone, should'a thought about the golden rule / She's gone i shoulda tried to toe the line / She's gone and it's nobody's fault but mine / I took what I could take though I had nothing I could give / I lived the kind of life a man is not supposed to live / I acted like a fool and I messed up my life / Slipped and fell and cut myself with my own knife / She's gone and there's nothing left but the blues / She's gone and there's nothing left to lose / She's gone I didn't see the danger sign / She's gone and it's nobody's fault but mine / Sitting here at home where only loneliness prevails / The woman I ignored has taken the wind outta my sails / Drifting in the doldrums no direction in my life / A victim of my propensity for causing strife / She's gone another story at an end  / She's gone I lost a lover and my best friend / She's gone and I'm crying all the time / She's gone and it's nobody's fault but mine

Mother Nature’s Deadly Dance  copyright 1999 Robert ‘One-Man’ Johnson
For years we did our dirty deeds/ Took more from her than a person needs / Built dams and cut down all her trees, / Dragged the fish out of the seven seas, / Plundered Mother for her oil and gold, / Raped and pillaged, ’til our souls were sold, / Made more babies than the earth could hold, / Closed our eyes and watched it all unfold / Sinners won’t stand a chance, Sinners won’t stand a chance, Sinners won’t stand a chance / When Mother Nature does her deadly dance / She shrugs her shoulders and the buildings sway / She bumps and grinds and the people pray / A simple shimmy of her hefty hips  / Terror streams from the people’s lips / Early morning or late at night / You get a tingle, something’s just not right / Stars go dim and the skies turn dark / Birds stop singing, dogs begin to bark / Sinners won’t stand a chance, Sinners won’t stand a chance, Sinners won’t stand a chance / When Mother Nature does her deadly dance / A ragged man with angry eyes says / " Mother’s deadly dance is no surprise. / I don’t think she can take no more / We gonna reap the things we sow. / If we don’t change our wasteful ways, / We best begin to count our dying days! / Hey! Don’t turn and look the other way! / You might be lying here some day!  / Sinners won’t stand a chance, Sinners won’t stand a chance, Sinners won’t stand a chance / When Mother Nature does her deadly dance." / She pulls her skirt up to her knobby knees / Eagle rocks the leaves off the frightened trees / She stamps her feet and causes tidal waves, / Disturbs the dead folks sleeping in their graves. / She pirouettes. starts to dance again in a / Frenzied reverie of dark revenge / Cross your fingers, hope she takes a rest / Pray your home can stand the test / Sinners won’t stand a chance, Sinners won’t stand a chance, Sinners won’t stand a chance / When Mother Nature does her deadly dance
