You Ain’t Unlucky ©2021
Lyrics and Music Written by Veronica Lewis
Life lifts you up, sometimes it puts you down
Think you got a plan, then it spins you all around
Might not feel good, but that don’t it’s bad
Yeah I know it’s raining, but why you gotta be so sad.
Let me tell ya
It’s just another one of those things
Some people – it’s all the same
Take they credit, can’t take the blame
Like one bad apple don’t spoil the bunch
One bad day shouldn’t really mean that much
Yeah don’t worry
It’s just another one of those things
No, No you ain’t unlucky, just gotta change the way you see
Think it’s bad every cherry has a pit
honey, inside every pit is a whole other tree
Let me tell ya
It’s one of those things
Well, you give everything you got, every single little last drop
Try to build bridges everywhere you go
Sometimes you feel you ain’t got nothing left to show
Let me tell ya
It’s just another one of those things
Life lifts you up, sometimes if puts you down
Think you got a plan, then it spins you all around
Might not feel good, but that don’t it’s bad
Yeah I know it’s raining, but why gotta be so sad.
Let me tell ya
It’s probably just another one of those things
Yeah let me tell ya
It’s probably another one of those things

Clarksdale Sun ©2019
Lyrics and Music written by Veronica Lewis
Well I rolled up, jumped out, and the heat knocked me down
Yeah, I rolled up, jumped out, and the heat knocked me down
It's an angry kind of hot, and this here sun gonna do me in
I showed up on your back porch, and you run me off
Well I showed up on your back porch, you done run me off
You're an angry kind of woman, and I ain't got no time to mess
You're an angry kind of woman and I ain't got no time to mess
We headin’ on down to Hopson,
Sun can’t shine no more
Well we headin’ on down to Hopson,
Sun can’t shine no more
Gonna beat down that angry sun,
With a Boogie Woogie bass and drum
Abraham, the man, he said, he said, we hittin’ it hard tonight
Well Abe done said, yes he did, we hittin’ hard tonight
Gonna beat down that angry sun,
With a Boogie Woogie bass and drum
Well, we takin’ down to Zero, writins’ on the wall
Yes we takin’ it down to Zero, writins’ on the wall
We gonna beat down that angry sun,
With a Boogie Woogie bass and drum
We gonna beat down that angry sun,
With a Boogie Woogie bass and drum.

Memphis Train©2019
Words and Music by Veronica Lewis
Well I heard the train when I was just a child
It called my name and said to ride a while
I felt a thundering pound that got deep inside
And I knew I couldn’t let the train pass me by
Yeah I know I’m going to ride the 6:01
So c’mon everyone let’s have some fun
Memphis Train, Memphis Train
I heard the whistle calling my name
Memphis Train, Memphis Train
Have you heard that whistle calling your name?
I know I’ma going to ride the 6:01 in style
So c’mon everyone let’s ride awhile
When I got on board I knew what to do
I saw Pinetop, Jerry Lee and Katie too
Yeah I know I’m going to ride the 6:01
So c’mon everyone let’s have some fun
Memphis Train, Memphis Train
I heard the whistle calling my name
Memphis Train, Memphis Train
Have you heard that whistle calling your name?
The Memphis train barrels down the line
With a Boogie Woogie rhythm and 8 beat time
Going full tilt with a head of steam
Clicketey – Clack gonna chase my dream
Yeah I know I’m going to ride the 6:01
So c’mon everyone let’s have some fun
Memphis Train, Memphis Train
I heard the whistle calling my name
Memphis Train, Memphis Train
So c’mon everyone let’s ride awhile

Put Your Wig On Mama ©2019
(Dedicated to my own Mama)
Lyrics and Music written by Veronica Lewis
Put your wig on Mama, you ain’t frying no chicken tonight
Put your wig on Mama, you ain’t frying no chicken tonight
So forget what you are cooking cause you're going out that right.
Well I’m putting on my wig and throwing the pots away
Well I’m putting on my wig and throwing the pots away
Well Mama’s going out and Mama’s there to stay.
I got my wig on Daddy and you're the one cooking tonight,
Got my wig on Daddy and you're the one cooking tonight.
So you better getting to cooking Daddy, cause I'm going out that's right.
Well you better get to cooking Daddy before the pots get cold
Because Mama’s not doing anything ...anything she's told.
So get that biggie wig of your head Daddy cause your going out that’s right.
Got my wig on Daddy I ain't frying no chicken tonight.
Got my wig on Daddy I ain't frying no chicken tonight.
So you better getting to cooking Daddy, cause I’m going out that's right.

Fool Me Twice ©2020
Lyrics and music by Veronica Lewis
Well you’re tripping and lying and playin’ me again
Yeah you’re tripping and lying and playin’ me again
Well fool me once shame on you
Fool me twice that's a shame on me
Well you’re singin’ me a sad song but I ain’t hearing it no more
Well you’re singin’ me a sad song but I ain’t hearing it no more
Yeah maybe one of these days
What comes out I ain’t already heard
Well I done spending good time on a bad time anymore
I’m done spending good time on a bad time anymore
Yeah maybe one of these days
What comes out I ain’t already heard
Well I’m tired of your double crossing and livin’ this way
Lord I’m tired of your double crossing and livin’ this way
Well fool me once shame on you
Fool me twice that's a shame on me
Well you’re trippin’ and lyin’ and playin’ me again
Yeah you’re trippin’ and lyin’ and playin’ me again
Well fool me once shame on you
Fool me twice that's a shame on me
