Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood Lyrics






Love Struck Baby

Well I'm a love struck baby I must confess
Life without darlin' is a solid mess
Thinkin' bout you baby gives me such a thrill
I gotta have you baby, can't get my fill
I love you baby and I know just what to do

I still remember and let it be said
The way you make me feel take a fool to forget
I swore a ton of bricks had hit me in the head
And what you do little baby ain't over it yet

Every time I see you make me feel so fine
Heart beatin' crazy, my blood run wild
Lovin' makes me feel like a might mighty man
Love me baby aint i your man

I'm a love struck baby
Yeah I'm a love struck baby
You got me love struck baby
And I know just what to do

Sparks start flyin' every time we meet
Let me tell you baby you knock me off my feet
Your kisses trip me up they're so dog gone sweet
Ya know baby you can't be beat

I'm a love struck baby
Yeah I'm a love struck baby
You got me love struck baby
And I know just what to do

Pride And Joy

Well you've heard about love givin' sight to the blind
My baby's lovin' cause the sun to shine
She's my sweet little thang, she's my pride and joy
She's my sweet little baby, I'm her little lover boy

Yeah I love my baby, heart and soul
Love like ours won't never grow old
She's my sweet little thang, she's my pride and joy
She's my sweet little baby, I'm her little lover boy

Yeah I love my lady, she's long and lean
You mess with her, you'll see a man get mean
She's my sweet little thang, she's my pride and joy
She's my sweet little baby, I'm her little lover boy

Well I love my baby, like the finest wine
Stick with her until the end of time
She's my sweet little thang, she's my pride and joy
She's my sweet little baby, I'm her little lover boy

Yeah I love my baby, my heart and soul
Love like ours won't never grow old
She's my sweet little thang, she's my pride and joy
She's my sweet little baby, I'm her little lover boy

Texas Flood

Well there's floodin' down in Texas....All of the telephone lines are down
Well there's floodin' down in Texas....All of the telephone lines are down
And I've been tryin' to call my baby....Lord and I can't get a single sound

Well dark clouds are rollin' in....Man I'm standin' out in the rain
Well dark clouds are rollin' in....Man I'm standin' out in the rain
Yeah flood water keep a rollin'....Man it's about to drive poor me insane

Well I'm leavin' you baby....Lord and I'm goin' back home to stay
Well I'm leavin' you baby....Lord and I'm goin' back home to stay
Well back home I know floods and tornados....Baby the sun shines every day

Tell Me

Well now tell me, what in the world can be wrong
I said tell me, what in the world can be wrong
Woke up this mornin', trouble knockin' at my door

I wonder what's the trouble, great big troubles at my door
I wonder what's the trouble, great big troubles at my door
Yes I'm goin' up to Macon, don't want to be here no more

I'd better forget it, let this trouble pass
I'd better forget it, let this trouble pass

Yes I wonder sometime, how long my trouble gonna last

I said goodbye, goodbye baby got to go
I said goodbye, goodbye baby got to go
I ain't hangin' 'round here, worrying where there's trouble no more

Trouble is knockin', trouble is knockin'
Trouble is knockin', trouble is knockin'
Trouble is knockin', can't be where it's at no more

Mary Had A Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb
It's fleece was white as snow, yeah
Everywhere the child went
The little lamb was sure to go, yeah
He followed her to school one day
And broke the teachers rule
What a time did they have
That day at school

Tisket! Tasket! baby
A green and yellow basket
Sent a letter to my baby
On my way I past it

Dirty Pool

True love is gone, I's been played for a fool
True love is gone, I's been played for a fool
I'm turnin' the tables on you
You've been playin' dirty pool

You said you'd call the shots darlin',
All your friends thought that was cool, so cool baby
You said you'd call the shots darlin',
All your friends thought that was so cool

Yeah when you shot at the eight-ball baby,
I knew you were playin' dirty pool

They say that life, life is a game of give and take
They say that life, life is a game of give and take
I'm tellin' you one thing right now little baby
I won't be the one to pay for your mistake

IM CRYIN

Well now sittin' here so lonely

Feelin' oh so blue

My baby's tryin' to mistreat me

And I don't know what to do

So I'm cryin'

Why do I have to feel this way

If I can't love my baby

I can't live another day


Yeah I've loved her for such a long time

To end it all this way

Sittin' here so lonely

Tears be fallin' just like rain

So I'm cryin'

Why do I have to feel this way

If I can't love my baby

I can't live another day


Yeah you know I love you baby

I'll do anything for you

But when we start to fightin'

I just get these same old blues

So I'm cryin'

Why do I have to feel this way

If I can't love my baby

I can't live another day


Yeah now when I first met you baby

At a dance and we did fine

Now we're together

And it's a total waste of time

So I'm cryin'

Why do I have to feel this way

If I can't love you baby

I can't live another day


Well I guess it's just my own fault

The truth I cannot hide

But if I ever get you back dear

I'll stay right by your side

I won't be cryin'

I'll stay happy that a way

I'll be lovin' my little baby

Every night and every day

Texas Flood is the debut studio album by the American blues rock band Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, released on June 13, 1983, by Epic Records. The album was named after a cover song featured on the album, "Texas Flood", which was first recorded by blues singer Larry Davis in 1958. Produced by the band and recording engineer Richard Mullen, Texas Flood was recorded in the space of three days at Jackson Browne's personal recording studio in Los Angeles. Vaughan wrote six of the album's ten tracks.

Two singles, "Love Struck Baby" and "Pride and Joy", were released from the album. A music video was made for "Love Struck Baby" and received regular rotation on MTV in 1983. Texas Flood was reissued in 1999 with five bonus tracks, including an interview segment, studio outtake, and three live tracks recorded on September 23, 1983, at The Palace in Hollywood, California. The album was reissued again in 2013, with two CDs in celebration of the album's 30th anniversary. Disc 1 is the original album with one bonus track, "Tin Pan Alley". Disc 2 is selections from a previously unreleased concert recorded at Ripley's Music Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on October 20, 1983, originally recorded for the King Biscuit Flower Hour radio program.

Texas Flood received positive reviews, with critics praising the deep blues sound, and Vaughan's songwriting, while some criticized the album for straying too far from mainstream rock. A retrospective review by AllMusic awarded it five out of five stars.
