Joe Tex, These Taming Blues Lyrics

is it ever gonna not be so hard to see you around?
am i really really really really gonna have to really gonna have to really have to leave town?

(woo!)

i mean i called upon a bunch of angels calling angels ain't you supposed to come and take away these blues?

i mean we came upon a bunch of rabies and there is nothing all us little animals can do.

all five kinds of reins, all nine kinds of thunderings and
eighteen white horses who will not ever come to me!

don't plant no more feet, love, in that garden of blame.
don't break me no more, love; i'm already tame.

is it ever gonna stop this trouble of just being around my friend?
am i really really really really gonna have to really gonna have to really have to leave town again?

i mean i lay myself upon the water calling, "water, ain't you supposed to come and save us all from all these flames?"
i mean we're caught among the awful branches and you know they're burning us and yes they're burning all of us's names.

and i stood on the shore all wilted and wondering,
"ain't you got no home for me, ain't you still sweet tonight?"

so don't plant no more feet, love, in that forest of blame.
don't break me no more, love; i'm already tame.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
