Consecrate your soul
Or there's gonna be hell to pay
You've got them where they live
Come the Judgement Day
Father, forgive our sins
Mother, forgive us too
Forgive but don't forget
They never meant to hurt you
She's doing the widow walk
Since her ship went down
Aw you have seen her with a pretty boy
On the country side of town
Her captain is lost at sea
Her ship is forgotten too
Aw she'd admit she'd been singing
The hellfire brimstone blues
Should never have tried to rock
Should never have tried to roll
Aw but damn I don't regret
The 33 RPM Soul
The 33 RPM Soul
The 33 RPM Soul
The 33 RPM Soul
The 33 RPM Soul
Should never have tried to rock
Should never have tried to roll
Aw but damn I don't regret
The 33 RPM Soul
The 33 RPM Soul
The 33 RPM Soul
The 33 RPM Soul
The 33 RPM Soul

| BikeCoachDave (Columbia, Ky.) | Posted: Jun 15, 2012 - 06:27 Michelle Shockeds version of the blues just doesnt speak to me at all. Sorry. 3. |
| ckcotton (Adding snarky comments since 2007) | Posted: May 14, 2012 - 11:42 uhhh.. unenjoyable stretch of "blues" covers....... boring |
| ScottFromWyoming (Powell) | Posted: Feb 09, 2012 - 08:36 I never heard this on RP before (5 years since it was last played?)... great album. This song has some little quiet noodling at the start that makes you turn up the volume, then the drums kick in and blast out the windows.  |
| atw58 (Canada) | Posted: Sep 30, 2007 - 17:34 Arkansas Traveler is my favourite Shocked album with outstanding collaboration from the likes of Taj Mahal, Levon Helm, Alison Krauss etc. Well worth checking it out. |

It doesn't have the same impact in a debut LP sense, but overall I think this album is more impressive by far. Her swan song in a way, at least for that phase of her career. |

c. That's because Gilbert and Sullivan didn't write the lyrics/melody this time.........  |
