Ten Years After - I Can't Keep From Crying, Sometimes ( L2 )

I can't keep from crying sometimes
I can't keep from crying sometimes
Oh momma she's dead and gone
And I know I'm all alone
I can't keep from crying sometimes


Early in the morning
About the break of day
I fall down on my knees
I fall down and I pray
I think about my woman
My woman who's long gone
I can't keep from crying sometimes
I can't keep from crying sometimes


Oh momma she's dead and gone
And I know I'm all alone
I can't keep from crying sometimes
Later in the evening
I watch the sun go down
I think about my woman


But my woman Lord she ain't around
My heart is filled with sadness
And my eyes are filled with tears
I can't keep from crying sometimes
I can't keep from crying sometimes
Oh momma she's dead and gone
And I know I'm all alone
I can't keep from crying sometimes

Ten Years After - Love Like a Man ( S1 )

"Love Like a Man" is a song and hit single by British blues rock group Ten Years After, first released in 1970 and taken from their album Cricklewood Green.

Singles chart success

The single is the group's only hit in the UK Singles Chart. Written by the group's lead vocalist Alvin Lee and produced by the group, it was the band's fourth single. The song entered the UK charts at #48 in June 1970 and reached #10 in August finally leaving the chart in October 1970. In the US, it reached #98.

Unusually, the A-side of this single is to be played at 45 rpm whilst the B-side is to be played at 33 rpm. The B-side is a live version of the song recorded at Bill Graham's Fillmore East and runs at 7:56 in marked contrast to the A-side's shorter, 3:05. Earlier versions of the disc carried no mention that the B-side is 'live' only an overprint in black ink on the paper label that the playing speed is 33 rpm.

Tean Years After - I Want To Know ( L1 )

I want to know why do you always run around
I want to know why do you always run around
Every man I know is watching you pull me down

I want to know, do you really mean to hurt me
I want to know, do you really mean to hurt me

Well, I'm tryin' to understand the way you always treat me
I want to know if I can come home every night
I want to know if I can come home every night
Well, oh woman, oh woman, why can't you try to treat me right

I wanna know, I wanna know
Hey hey I want want, I wanna know, oo oh
All right, what do you say
Well woman, oh woman, why can't you try to treat me right

Ten Years After - Ten Years After ( D1 )

Ten Years After is the debut album by the English blues rock band Ten Years After. It was one of the first blues rock albums released by British musicians. The album is also low on original material in comparison to the band's later works which were, in most cases, entirely composed of Alvin Lee's songs.

It features "Spoonful", a Howlin' Wolf song (written for him by Willie Dixon) that the Britishblues rock group Cream covered as well (on their albums Fresh Cream and Wheels of Fire).
