What a trial life has been
why did I ever trust in you?
Don't you think that it's a sin
For you to treat me like you do?
Like a ship lost at sea
I had no one guiding me
Out of all the folks I've seen
I had to fall in love with you
Oh, why I'm all alone
So heartsick and weary
Trying my best to be bright and cheery
You're having your fun
Draggin' my heart around
You keep doing things I pretend not to notice
Everyone sees, they know who the goat is
So keep up your fun draggin' my poor heart around
Most of the time
You treat me just like any old stranger
But I won't give you up
I'll just be like the dog in the manger
You know I'm a fool, but how can you blame me?
So deep in love that nothing can change me
So keep up your fun draggin' my poor heart around
Most of the time
You treat me just like any old stranger
But I won't give you up
I'll just be like the dog in the manger
You know I'm a fool, but how can you blame me?
So deep in love that nothing can change me
So keep up your fun draggin' my poor heart around

Hearing Naomi open up her voice on this blues track is great! This very lively record is a great pick-me-up. Fine musicianship, solid singer, highly swinging. Alex P

I love this ENTIRE album!!! How to chose a favourite (Well Read Baby?!) Keenan's album is a tour de force of songs that were written now, but he's so totally internalized the style that they sound like they are from another century! The musicianship, arrangements, and the voice of Laura Windley are great. This is my fave vocal showing from Laura, too! (and she has lots of great records) Can't recommend this highly enough Alex P
