Hello, I'm new to this forum and it looks like a great resource. I am looking for the authors of two different blues songs: the first one is an up-tempo number called

"Back Against the Wall" and the beginning lyrics are:

Got my fingers crossed baby
well I'm hoping for the best
(repeat)
Man, I'm gambling all my future
my livelyhood and all the rest

I've got my back against the wall
I've got to gamble for my bread
(repeat)
soon my troubles will be over
and I can ease my weary head


The second song author that I'm looking for wrote this song called "Messin Round" I got it from a chess various artist cd but it might have been a bootleg because there is no performer or writer credits listed anywhere on the cd or cover!!
here's some of the lyrics to

"Messin Round"

I'm gonna cut you if you stand
Shoot you if you run
You've been messin with my woman
And I hope you had your fun
Messin round
You shouldn't do your messin round
You've been messin with my love
And the word's all over town

any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks David
