Put Up Or Shut Up put up or shut up baby stop teasing me put up or shut up baby and set me free don't say you're gonna love me then you leave me here in misery you say you're the one that wants me and you tell me what you're gonna do now the phone ain't ringin' and i've been thinkin' it's just like you to promise the moon well well well baby it's too late I’ll find another date 'cause life's too short to sit around here and wait put up or shut up baby stop teasing me put up or shut up baby and set me free don't say you're gonna love me then you leave me here in misery well i gave you everything you asked for and i never asked for much now i feel like a fool for trying to be cool all i wanted was your red hot love well well well do what you want to do 'cause baby I’m through with you you never gave me nothin' but a bad case of the blues put up or shut up baby stop teasing me put up or shut up baby and set me free don't say you're gonna love me then you leave me here in misery well they say that you should never gamble more than you can stand to lose but, I’d rather put my money on a one armed bandit than to let it keep riding on you well well well do what you want to do 'cause baby I’m through with you gonna find me somebody who knows how to love me too put up or shut up baby stop teasing me put up or shut up baby and set me free don't say you're gonna love me then you leave me here in misery Words and music by Billy Roues and Ronny Freitag © 1995 Sharkabilly Music (ASCAP) International copyright secured.

2.	Whiskey Hands 02:59	lyrics	buy track
WHISKEY HANDS take your whiskey hands out a ‘my pockets there ain't nothin' there at least not for you you're always beggin' for things i wish you'd stop it cravin' all the very things you know i can't use my life's already been soiled by your bourbon fingers washed by the drivin' rain, but they never come clean one hundred proof in my veins i hear you callin' a voice half garbled only i know what it means take your whiskey hands off a ‘my wallet take that billfold off the bar it's not for you that was the money i was savin' up for Christmas to buy my darlin' girl that pretty dress of blue take your whiskey hands off a ‘that pistol things have been much worse before but i can't say when is it the barrel of a gun or the mouth of a bottle one way is quicker but they both lead to the end to the end... to the end... to the end… Words & music by Billy Roues © 1993 Sharkabilly Music (ASCAP).

about

We take a bit of a dark turn here with a couple from the UpSouth Archives. Both songs recorded in the mid 90's at Gary Solomon's Schuyler Road Studio in Nyack NY. Gary also mixed and mastered them. Put Up Or Shut Up (1993) is a co-write with long time friend and collaborator Ronny Freitag who also played acoustic guitar on the live in studio rockabilly rave up. The second is the original Willy and Mud acoustic duo on Whiskey Hands, (1993) a conversation of an alcoholic with his cravings personified by his very own hands which refuse to listen to his entreaties.
