Jackie Scott - I'm Tired

I remember the day…
I remember it…well
My baby looked right through me…and I could tell…
He would not even touch me…
Couldn’t look me in the eyes…
His lips says ‘I’m sorry’…
Why it’s hard to say goodbye…
And I’m tired…and I’m ready to lay down…
He won’t kiss me no more…
Don’t even conversate…
I put his food on the table,
And he won’t even touch his plate…
Even a blind man…even a blind man can see…
I can feel it in my soul…my baby’s slipping away from me…

They say you reap… just what you sow…
But I really really really reaaallyyyy noooo want him to go… but I’m tired…
And I’m ready to lay down…I can feel it in my soul…
My baby won’t be hanging around…
Got to get myself together…don’t worry no more…
God give me strength to get up, turn off the light and lock the door….
But I’m so tired… and I’m just ready to lay down…
Hmmmmm… I got a strange strange feeling that my baby won’t be hanging around…

Jackie Scott & The Housewreckers have local roots that make Hampton Roads home. Coming from varied backgrounds and influences makes for a hot combination of blues and R&B packed with soul when you encounter and fall under the power of Jackie Scott & The Housewreckers.

The Housewreckers are: Mark Hopkins, guitar; Darren Simons, drums; Rich Rolifino, bass; Hugh Williams (Chuck Williams), saxophone; and special guests Tyler Bevington, keyboard; and Ricky Cordner, guitar.

Scott has spent the last few years honing her craft as a vocalist and her quest lead her to the steamy windows of Chicago's blues scene. It was in Chicago that Scott received her baptism into the blues.

Musicians and performers, great and small, all freely shared in their wealth of skill, time and talent to help her grow as a blues entertainer. Nellie Travis, Chicago blues woman and Westside bluesman and Howlin' Wolf sidekick, Eddie Shaw, played a major part in mentoring her into the blues Chicago style.

Don’s Tunes is about the music. It’s about the sound. It’s about the real thing.

I remember the day
I remember it well
My baby looked right through me and I could tell
He would not even touch me
Couldn’t look me in the eyes
His lips says I’m sorry
Why it’s hard to say goodbye
And I’m tired and I’m ready to lay down

He won’t kiss me no more
Don’t even conversate
I put his food on the table
And he won’t even touch his plate
Even a blind man even a blind man can see
I can feel it in my soul my baby’s slipping away from me

They say you reap
Just what you sow
But I really really really really no want him to go
But I’m tired
And I’m ready to lay down
I can feel it in my soul
My baby won’t be hanging around

Got to get myself together
Don’t worry no more
God give me strength to get up, turn off the light and lock the door
But I’m so tired
And I’m just ready to lay down
I got a strange strange feeling that my baby won’t be hanging around

Love is not between two beautiful faces but between two souls 💗💗💗

[ВикторРева-эю]

Никакие слова не смогут выразить ЧУВСВА и ПЕРЕЖИВАНИЯ....
ТОЛЬКО МУЗЫКА.
Лишь ей подвластно НАСТРОЕНИЕ.
ЛЮБЛЮ и Счастлив от ЛЮБВИ.
Мира всем.

One of these songs you keep returning to for some reason. So hauntingly beautiful and so totally sad. Well done, in her vocals you can feel her despair losing the love she thought would be there for ever. Together with this group of great musicians, this is completely the whole package.
