    Train To Nowhere
    (4:12)
    Youlden / Simmonds



    You can catch it if you want to ride
    Don't you worry if it pass you by
    You can catch it if you want to ride
    Don't you worry if it pass you by

    Lord you know the reason why
    On this train till I die
    Train I ride goes to God knows where
    I don't know and I don't care

    Train I ride goes to God knows where
    I don't know and I don't care
    If you aint got money don't despair
    'Cause you don't have to pay no fare

    Please now brother don't you ride this train
    Ride the wrong rails, live your life in vain
    Please now brother don't you ride this train
    Ride the wrong rails, live your life in vain

    She's Got A Ring In His Nose
    And A Ring On Her Hand

    (3:07)
    Youlden



    Well it ain’t something that I like to see
    And I hope it never happen to me
    When you see a smiling woman and a frowning man
    She got a ring in his nose and a ring on her hand

    Well I knew a guy he was real plucky
    That was of course until he got lucky
    When you see a smiling woman and a frowning man
    She got a ring in his nose and a ring on her hand

    Now all you men think that you’re all right
    And the one you got well she’s all right
    When you see a smiling woman and a frowning man
    She got a ring in his nose and a ring on her hand

    (break)

    Well I knew a guy he was real plucky
    That was of course until he got lucky
    When you see a smiling woman and a frowning man
    She got a ring in his nose and a ring on her hand

    Now all you men think that you’re all right
    And the one you got well she’s all right
    When you see a smiling woman and a frowning man
    She got a ring in his nose and a ring on her hand
    Ring in his nose and a ring on her hand
    Ring in his nose and a ring on her hand
    Ring in his nose and a ring on her hand
    Oh, how’s that?
    Everbody got to be unlucky sometime
    That’s the way it goes

    Louisiana Blues
        (9:06) *
    Waters



    Going to Louisiana baby behind the sun
    Going to Louisiana baby behind the sun
    You know I just found out
    My trouble's just begun

    I'm going to New Orleans get me a Mojo Hand
    I'm going to New Orleans get me a Mojo Hand
    I'm gonna get you women
    Right under my command

    If the river was whiskey and I was a diving duck
    If the river was whiskey and I was a diving duck
    I would swim to the bottom
    Drink myself back up

    Going to Louisiana baby behind the sun
    Going to Louisiana baby behind the sun
    You know I just found out
    My trouble's just begun

    If the river was whiskey and I was a diving duck
    If the river was whiskey and I was a diving duck
    I would swim to the bottom
    Drink myself back up

    When Bassist Rivers Jobe left Savoy Brown, Tone Stevens stepped into the breach and the deep end with a brief to acquaint himself with the band's repertoire quick smart. Playing it everynight was a sure-fire way to rapid assimilation. His initiation with revolving reels of magnetic oxide as a Savoyian though would not be in a soundproof booth, but at the City of Liecester College of Education as early as Friday December 6th, when it was proposed to capture the boys doing what they did best - playing live - to a student audience, the results to form part of their next long player.

    Mike Vernon takes up the story: ' Our engineering staff hauled the portable gear to Liecester, set it up in an afternoon, and patiently awaited the arrival of Savoy Brown. Finally they arrived, but regretfully without their lead singer. He had a bad case of the 'flu and so the other 'chanteur', Lonesome Dave, had to do the honors. Did them well too. There were some really good things there, some great guitar work, good rythym sounds and deft finger work on the 'eighty-eights' from Bob. An appreciative audience. Hard conscientious work from Roy (Baker) and the technical miracle workers. Swift manipulation of curtains and lights by the students. I still can't work out why I went...'
