Four more songs. 26, 27, 28, 29.


"Amarillo Baby"
Copyr.1994 
 Johnny Blood Composer 
John Blood Music Co.





North from Amarillo, I'm gone and Denver bound, 
Sunrise on a blue mesa, I feel that lonsome sound, 
Highway's beatin rythym, for my lonely cry, 
Amarillo Baby, since you said good-bye.

Our love was like the peaks, out in old New Mexico, 
It was hot when it was hot, but in time it grew so cold. 
As cold as the ashes underneath the fallen snow.
 (The mountains tell the story of why I'm feelin low.)

(yodel)


As I listen to the whistle of a long and lonesome train, 
Haulin coal out of the hills across the Texas plain. 
Amarillo Baby, will I see you face again? 
Will I find someone in Denver to take away this pain?

I'm aimin at the rockies to the mountains up so high, 
It's gonna be hard to lose these blues, but I know I gotta try. 
Love grew cold in Amarillo, it doesn't matter why. 
I'll find another darlin, then I won't need to cry.



(yodel)







"Lookin at a Fool"
Copyr.1994
Johnny Blood Composer
John Bloood Music Co.



I know it looks to you,
Like everything is cool,
You think you see a happy man,
But your lookin at a fool.
Lookin at a fool....

A fool who still believes,
That the best thing in this life,
Is to love someone who loves you too,
And to live as man and wife,
To live as man and wife.



You think you see a happy man,
So happy and carefree.
If you could see inside my heart,
You'ld see this misery,
You'ld see this misery.



Passing time so carelessly,
With a lady on my arm.
I don't love her, she don't love me.
Can't do each other harm,
Can't do us any harm.



I'll keep searchin, waitin, hopin,
Someday there could be,
Someone who's just waitin,
For someone just like me,
For someone just like me.











"Someone in Heaven today" 
Copyr. 1994 
John Blodgett
Johnny Blodgett Composer


There is someone in Heaven today,
The love of my life taken away,
And Lord, I pray tonight,
If there's a chance that she might,
Let her hear the words that I forgot to say.

I love you my darling, I do,
The happiness I've known belongs to you.
Till the light fades from my eyes,
Till the stars fall from the skies,
Forever, and ever I'll be true.





While I was out walking today,
I thought of things I'd found so hard to say,
Of the way I cared for you,
Of the dreams you made come true,
But you're gone, Heaven's called you away.



I love you my darling, I do,
The happiness I've known belongs to you.
Till the light fades from my eyes,
Till the stars fall from the skies,
Forever, and ever I'll be true.



If there's someone you care for tonight,
Take her in your arms and hold her tight.
Say the words she longs to hear,
Let her know how much you care,
She may never hear the words if you wait.



I love you my darling, I do,
The happiness I've known belongs to you.
Till the light fades from my eyes,
Till the stars fall from the skies,
Forever, and ever I'll be true.









"Big Black Cat"
copyright 1994
Johnny Blood Music Co.
Johnny Blood Composer



I was walkin down the street. Saw a big black cat.
He was sittin on a fence, with his tail through a slat.
I pulled that black tail, he let out a scream,
it sounded like me babe, since you split my scene.

I gotta find that woman, before I lose my mind.
She left me screamin the blues, I lost all....track a time.

Cat ran down the alley, bout a hundred and five,
Just like you left me babe, didn't even say good-bye.
He turned round the corner, disappeared from my sight.
You know I miss you in the daytime, but I'm screamin the blues at ni-i-ight.

I gotta find that woman, before I lose my mind.
She left me screamin the blues, I lost all....track a time.

She left me screamin the blues, I lost all....track a time.

Blodgett Quartet Jesus How I Need Thee


What fun for me to have family get together at my birthday party. My three children, Barry, Katie and Jason were good enough to offer their voices to my number 24th song for 2015. We use to be able to get together and sing all the time but as families grow and everyone is going in a different direction it is not that easy to do. I was just so blessed to have this time to sing with the kids.
The Lord gave me this song back in the early 70s. I trust that the Holy Spirit will bless you with music and lyric.

Oh for a drop of the blood that was shed so recklessly,
Oh for a touch of the hands that were scarred at Calvary
Oh for a spark of the wisdom that’s given so I might see,
A glimpse of the glory that’s promised for you and for me.

Jesus, How I need thee,
Oh, Spirit, Heaven speed thee,
Father, send the spirit to guide us on our way.
Glory to the Father,
The one God, there’s no other,
Perfect in your wisdom and mercy

For the wonders of your infinite love
I thank you Lord.
Thank you for the wisdom of your precious word,
We gather together to praise your name in one accord.
I know that I’m saved and I’m giving my life to my Lord.

Jesus, How I need thee,
Oh, Spirit, Heaven speed thee,
Father, send the spirit to guide us on our way.
Glory to the Father,
The one God, there’s no other.
Perfect in your wisdom and mercy.

The stars in the heavens and all of creation belong to thee.
From the dawning of time you love has shined through history.
At the very mention of your sweet name my troubles flee.
Thank you for all of the wonders that you’ve shown to me.

Jesus, How I need thee,
Oh, Spirit, Heaven speed thee,
Father, send the spirit to guide us on our way.
Glory to the Father,
The one God, there’s no other,
Perfect in your wisdom and mercy.

Perfect in your wisdom and mercy.
