Jeremiah Johnson Ruf Records - Straitjacket Blues in Her Eyes 
 
Every time I see your face, baby I can feel your pain 
Every time I hold your hand, lord your trembling in shame 
That’s when I realized, she’s got the blues in her eyes 
 
Baby when I held you like I did, and when I loved your heart and soul 
When I pulled you in so tight, when your tears ran through the night 
That’s when I realized, she’s got the blues in her eyes 
 
Every time I see your face, baby I can feel your pain 
Every time I hold your hand, lord your trembling in shame 
That’s when I realized, she’s got the blues in her eyes

Jeremiah Johnson Ruf Records - Straitjacket 9th and Russell 
 
I was born in a town on the banks of the Mississippi 
well I remember as a child walking on that cobblestone 
39th and Flad didn’t seem to suit me 
So I’m headed on down to the gulf of Mexico 
 
With my feet in the sand at the end of the Mississippi 
With a beer in hand eating jambalaya in Mardi Gras 
Lord knows I didn’t wanna leave her 
But Katrina came along and sure enough changed it all 

changed it all for me
 
Headed back down to the town by the Mississippi 
I’m feeling proud looking round with my feet on that cobblestone 
And 9th and Russell it seems to suit me 
I think I’ll settle on down till the banks they over flow 
 
I’m gonna settle on down till the banks they over flow 

Jeremiah Johnson Ruf Records - Straitjacket Old School 
 
Old School, old School, old School, a bloody nose and black eye 
When I was a kid, messing round in the school yard, sure enough you know I got into a fight 
And he was bigger than me no, and I knew I’d get whipped, you gotta stand your ground and be proud I’m talking bout 
Toe to toe, blow to blow, and don’t you know, no bodies gotta die 
 
Old School, old School, old School, a bloody nose and black eye 
When I was 20, hanging round downtown running round like a clown having a good time 
Trouble is I was with no, my best friends girl, I got a beating down and I’ll never forget lesson learned 
Toe to toe, blow to blow, and don’t you know, no bodies gotta die 
 
Old School, old School, old School, a bloody nose and black eye 
Now that I’m so much older bolder, I learned my lesson a long time ago, ain’t gonna play no fool 
People running round with their balls on their hips, I see them falling down, falling down like dominos 
Line em up, knock en down, and shoot em up 
Toe to toe, blow to blow, and don’t you know, no bodies gotta die 
 
Old School, old School, old School, a bloody nose and black eye 
Nobody’s gotta die, nobody’s gotta die before their time 

Jeremiah Johnson Ruf Records - Straitjacket Hold my Hand 
 
Have you ever fell in love, without even a single hug, 
have you ever thought about something so strange 
Have you ever had a day when you walked along and said, 
Feels like you found yourself a million-dollar bill 
 
Darling don’t you understand, 
Woman I want to be your man 
Baby just you and me  
Yeah darling can’t you see 
Woman won’t you hold my hand 
 
Have you ever had a time, when you walked along in life 
Felt like everything was gonna be alight 
Have you ever had a place, where your heart wants to stay 
And you never wanna go back where you came from 
 
Darling don’t you understand, 
Woman I want to be your man 
Baby just you and me  
Yeah darling can’t you see 
Woman won’t you hold my hand 
 
Have you ever fell in love, without even a single hug, 
Feels like you found yourself a million-dollar bill

Jeremiah Johnson Ruf Records - Straitjacket Rock’n Roll Music to the World 
 
Lyrics as performed by Jeremiah Johnson    ---     Song written by Alvin Lee from Ten Years After 
We did some rock and roll up in Texas, and all the folks from the coast towns said 
You better watch yourself up in Texas, or you might just end up dead, boy 
But the people I found, Grooving to the sound 
Of the rock and roll music in the air,  
We all had a ball, With no hassles at all 
Pretty soon I'm gonna go back there 
 
I'm singing Rock and roll music to the world, Rock and roll music to the world 
Ain't no relation To the, united nations 
Keep rock and rolling to the world 
Give peace a chance, Get up and dance 
Rock and roll music to the world 
 
I'm gonna scream, I'm gonna shout, Get my emotions, And work them all right out 
I wanna live, No need to fight, Wait for tonight, When I sing 
Rock and roll music to the world 
 
Rock and roll music to the world, Rock and roll music to the world 
Ain't got no calling, Except for balling, Rock and roll music to the world 
Don't need no boost, Just turn me loose 
And I sing Rock and roll music to the world 
Rock and roll music to the world, Rock and roll music to the world 
Ain't no relation To the, united nations, Keep rock and rolling to the world 
Don't need no boost, Just turn me loose 
And I sing Rock and roll music to the world
