Chorus: It's much too early for you to go home It’s a beautiful evening, I hate to spend it alone If you're worried about your mama, you can telephone It's much too early for you to go home Verse 1 The moon is shining through the window now Wasn't it the sun when we started out? You say your mama will worry if you don't go now Give me one more kiss, we'll explain it somehow. Chorus: It's much too early for you to go home It’s a beautiful evening, I hate to spend it alone If you're worried about your mama, you can telephone It's much too early for you to go home Verse 2 All the hugging and kissing, don't want to turn you loose You can be just a little bit late, we'll find an excuse You look so pretty I can't let you go So sit back down here another minute or so Chorus: 'Cause it's much too early for you to go home It’s a beautiful evening, I hate to spend it alone If you're worried about your mama, you can telephone It's much too early for you to go home

Stormy Blues 04:57
Verse 1: Bad storm's coming, blues falling down like rain Bad storm's coming, blues falling down like rain Your bags are packed and ready, Looks like you're leaving me again Verse 2 Lonesome wind is blowing, it's blowing across my mind Lonesome wind is blowing, it's blowing across my mind You say you love me mama, But why'd you treat me so unkind So unkind Verse 3 Blues all around me, just like a bad old hurricane Blues all around me, just like a bad old hurricane How can a sweet looking woman Cause a poor man so much pain So much pain

Verse 1: Lonely streets and sidewalks With no direction left to choose, Down to just regrets now, Nothing more to lose, I'm on the wrong side of midnight With nothing but the blues. Verse 2: Wish I had her here now, Wishing just don't do no good, She thinks I don't love her, Did I do all that I could? On the wrong side of midnight, Feelin' so misunderstood. Verse 3: Rain falling down now, Feel so lonely to the bone, Baby said she loved me, Oh but baby, now she's gone, It's the wrong side of midnight Time for me to just be gone, Yeah, I'm on the wrong side of midnight, Might as well go back home.

about

Still standing after all these years... it's about hard times and tough knocks and keepin' on going. Dusty's second blues album takes you to the wrong side of midnight with a wailin' Tele. Blues from mellow and sensuous to twelve-bar blues to a touch of 20s vaudeville-style blues, plus a tribute to the late, great Ray Charles.

Born in BC, Canada in 1947, Dusty started performing in bands in his early teens. He was always honing his craft, learning stagecraft from more experienced performers.

Dusty passed away in Nova Scotia in 2017. The man is gone, but his music lives on. Dusty's online presence is managed by Mrs. Dusty (Jeri-Lynn Woods). My goal is to share the magic and keep the Dusty Woods legacy alive.
