You made me leave my happy hoe
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you
Love brings such misery and pain
I guess I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you
Oh, it's too bad, oh, it's so sad
I'm in love with you
You love me, then you snub me
But what can I do
I'm so in love with you
Oh, I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues 'bout every night
Since I fell for you
Well, it's too bad, oh, it's so sad
That I'm in love with you
Oh, you love me, then you snub me
Oh, but what can I do
I'm so in love with you
Oh, I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues 'bout every night
Since I fell for you

I've got a right to love my baby
Oh, she treats me just like a king
Hey, I've got a right to love my baby
I said she treats me just like a king
Oh, she eases my mind, body and soul
My baby, she can do most anything
Oh, she's my doctor when I'm sick, people
She's my all around standby
Hey, she's my lawyer when I'm in trouble
And she's my mother when I wanna cry
I've got a right to love my baby
Hey, can't you see the reason why?
That gives me a right to love my baby
She's always here by my side
Hey, my sweet undersanding baby
She makes my temperature rise
And when it comes to kind treatment people
My baby's an angel in disguise
Well, when I'm sick she's my doctor
When I'm well she's my pride and joy
Hey, when I'm cold
When I'm cold she's my cover
And she calls me ";my little baby boy";
When I'm tired and wanna play, people
It's my baby that's my toy

You won't listen to nothing I tell you, baby
You keep on doing just as you please
Hey, you won't do nothing I tell you, baby
Keep on doing as you please
I've taken as long as I can, baby
When is this foolishness gonna cease
I've worried myself crazy, baby
Cried both night and day
I said I've worried myself crazy, baby
Cried both night and day
You don't believe me, baby
But I'm gonna leave one of these days
Well, you told me that you love me
But actions speak louder than words
Oh, you said you love me, baby
But action speaks louder than words
I won't be fooled no longer, baby
That line everybody's heard
Well, If you're gonna change, baby
You better do it real soon
Hey, If you're gonna change
For the better, baby
You better do it real soon
Because you'll wake up one of these mornings
Find yourself in a empty room

I'm in the wrong business
I swear I ain't lyin'
I stay hungry, broke all the time
I'm gonna send my guitar home
Leave these blues alone
I'm in the wrong business
I ain't lyin'
Should have been a boxer
Makin' the movie "Rocky 3"
I would be a star
Like the wrestler Mr. T
Should've been like Michael Jackson
When I was the age of five
But chose this guitar
Now I'm broke and can't survive
I'm in the wrong business
I ain't lyin'
'Cause I stay hungry, broke all the time
I'm gonna send my guitar home
Leave these blues alone
I'm in the wrong business
I ain't lyin'
These guitar freaks
Have made my blood sugar go up
Be better off
If I was driving a trailer truck
Like Boxcar Willie
I played these blues and made me a bum
I'm gonna give up this music
Move back to the farm
I'm in the wrong business
I ain't lyin'
'Cause I stay broke, hungry all the time
I'm gonna send my guitar home
Leave these blues alone
I'm in the wrong business
I ain't lyin'
I've played these blues
Now I'm full up to my neck
If I keep on playin' I tell you
I'm gonna do like Johnny Paycheck
He had a job
Got money for years
I'm gonna shelve my guitar
I ain't got no job to shelve
I'm in the wrong business
I ain't lyin'
Stay broke, hungry all the time
I'm gonna send my guitar home
Leave these blues alone
I'm in the wrong business
I ain't lyin'
I'm in the wrong business
I ain't lyin', folks
Stay broke, hungry all the time
I'm gonna send my guitar home
Leave these blues alone
I'm in the wrong business

The next woman I get
She gotta have job
I'm not tryin' to be no pimp
I just don't intend to work to hard
I won't have to buy the groceries
She gotta pay the rent
She gotta fill up my car every day
And give me account of every dime she spend
I made up my mind
If this is the way life has gotta be
I'm gonna do the same thing
The same thing they been doing to me
She gotta make me think she loves me
By staying in her place
And sleep in another room
So she won't be snorin' in my face
And when I ask her for some money
To go out on the town
I want you to hand it to me smilin'
And don't you have no frown
I made up my mind baby
If this is the way life has gotta be
Yes I'm gonna do the same thing
The same thing they been doing to me
Now when I ask for some money
To go out on the town
I want you to hand it to me smilin'
And don't you be no clown
Now that might sound cold to ya baby
You might think I'm unfair
But I've been hurt so many times
Till I, I really don't care
I made up my mind baby
If this is the way life has gotta be
I'm gonna do the same thing

You say you're leaving, you've shattered my dreams
All of our plans dear, forgotten it seems
Yes, it had to happen
I'm not surprised, but I'll, I'll survive
Your friends have shown you a much better way
All of my loving you baby, all of those years, ended today
Yes, you go on darlin'
I'll dry my eyes, but I'll, I'll survive
Go on! May God bless you
It was fun. While it was fun
Baby, I hate to lose you
I say I hate to lose you baby
It's all over! What's done is done
Hey! you go on darlin', seek your fortune and fame
All your good luck or bad luck
Your friends must take the blame
Oh! I can't beg you no more baby
I've got too much pride, but I'll, I'll survive
Oh, go on! May God bless you
Oh, it was fun. While it was fun
Oh baby, I hate to lose you
I say I hate to lose you baby
It's all over! What's done is done
Hey! You go on baby, seek your fortune and fame
All your good good luck or bad luck
Friends must take the blame
Oh! I can't beg you no more
I've got too much pride, but I'll, I'll survive
Oh! I'll, I'll survive

If heartaches brought fame
In love's crazy game
I'd be a legend in my time
If they gave gold statuettes
For tears and regrets
I'd be a legend in my time
But they don't give awards
And there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken
Over love that's in vain
If loneliness meant world acclaim
Then everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time
But they don't give awards
And there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken
Over love that's in vain
If loneliness meant world acclaim
Then everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time

I want to get married
But no woman will hear my plea
Yes, I want to get married
But no woman will hear my plea
Yes, it does seems somehow
I can't get one to walk down the aisle with me
Well, I've only been in love
But three times in my life
Yeah, the first, I couldn't satisfy her
But I've only been in love three times in my life
Yes, the second one was a juice-head
And the third was another man's wife
Yeah, they say, "Join the navy
If you really wanna see the world"
Yes, they say, "Join the navy
If you really wanna see the world"
Well, but I say join B.B. King
Baby, if you really want to be loved
Aaw, my time is gone
Babe, and I must say goodbye
Yes, my time is gone
Babe, I must say goodbye
So you women better watch out

Yeah, I stay in the mood for you, 'cause I just can't help myself
Yeah, I stay in the mood for you, 'cause I just can't help myself
You've always fooling around, givin' my love to somebody else
Still I stay in the mood for you and I can see you everywhere I go
Still I stay in the mood for you and I can see you everywhere I go
Well, if something soon don't happen, my heart is gonna break I know
Well, you said that you love me, you've sworn that you'll be true
But now you're tellin' stronger, that I'm just a fool you know
But I stay in the mood for you, 'cause I just can't help myself

Oh I need you baby
Yes I need you baby
Oh I need you baby
Come on back home to me
I'll make it all up to you, woman
Just you wait around and see
I was wrong baby
I thought I was having fun
I know I was wrong baby
I thought I was having fun
Yes I was young and foolish
I didn't know you was the one
Now I've settled down baby
And I know I'll treat you right
Oh I've settled down baby
And I know I'll treat you right
Yes, come on home now baby
I want you to come on home tonight
Oh I need you baby
Yes I need you baby
Well I need you woman
I need a good woman around
Every night about this time baby

Oh my darling I was so lonely
Searching for you and for you only
Oh my darling I love you so
Oh my darling my love is true
Longing for you, no one else will do
Oh my darling I love you so
When I first saw you dear I knew you were alone
I said to myself that I'd make you my own
Your brother caught us kissing
I though he would surely tell
Until he started playing those wedding bells
Now my darling I'm yours forever
Don't ever leave me, leave me never
Oh my darling I love you so
Oh yes it's true, now I have you
And best of all I know now
That I'll never have to be blue
Oh baby, I love you so

My song is a serious matter
It reflects what I feel
If I say I love you, I mean it
`Cause in my song
Every line is for real
Every man or woman
Enjoys going home
To a peaceful situation
To give love and receive love
Without any complications
Whether my tune is short or long
Whether my lyrics are weak or strong
I like to live the love
That I sing about in my song
I like to live the love
That I sing about in my song
Music is love
And my love is music
In perfect harmony
So when I sing
I have sung all about
The love of you and me
I never got angry with my guitar
`Cause when I strike a chord
It gives me what I wanna hear
So I'm finding out that
We are quite like my song together, my dear
Outside answers
Should always be forbidden
Problems should be solved
And never hidden
I like to live the love
That I sing about in my song
I like to live the love

There's a whole lot of talk around town
About the way you're carrying yourself
Whole lot of talk around town, woman
About the way you're carrying yourself
You're jiving everybody in town but old B., that's me
I know what you've been putting down
You got a rambling mind
Just don't wanna stay at home
You got a rambling mind, woman
You just don't wanna stay at home
You ain't got no job in town
And I know what you've been putting down
Everybody wants you, baby
Everybody but me
I said every, everybody wants you, woman
Everybody but me
You've been jiving everybody in town, baby
But I know what you've been putting down
You went out late last night
To a dinner show and a dance
You went out late last night, baby
A dinner show and a dance
You must've been a perfect clown
'Cause I know what you've been putting down
Yeah, you came home early this morning, woman
With a new hat, a new dress and a new pair of shoes
Came home early this morning, woman
With a new hat, a new dress and a new pair of shoes
You ain't been visiting your relatives in town

I know you don't love me no more
No more, no, no more
And I don't wanna be hurt
Anymore, anymore
I love so hard
Everything I did was no joy
If I can't love you right, baby
I don't have to love you at all
I know you don't want me no more
No more, no, no more
And I need someone else
Who's gonna love me more, love me more
Ain't no need me cryin' now
After you have put me down
If you don't want me no more, baby
Ain't no use you hangin' 'round
I know you don't want me no more
No more, no, no more
And I need someone else
Who's gonna love me more, love me more
Ain't no need me cryin' now
After you have put me down
If you don't want me no more, baby
Ain't no use you hangin' 'round
I know you don't want me no more
I know, I know
I don't wanna be hurt
Anymore, anymore
After you have put me down
Ain't no use you hangin' 'round
If you don't want me no more, baby

You painted your lips baby
And you painted your eyes too
Its gettin' to the place now woman
Till I can't hardly recognize you
If that's what it takes to be hip baby
Oh, I want you to be a square
I don't want you messing around baby
Oh, I don't want you cutting of your hair
I didn't say nothing to you baby
When you were wearing bikinis for close
Oh I even stood around baby
I watched you paint your toes
If that's what it takes to be hip baby
Oh, I want you to be a square
I don't want you messing up woman
Oh, I don't want you cutting of your hair
There's something about your girlfriend baby
I swear I can't understand
She got her hair cutt off the other day
And now she looks just like a man
If that's what it takes to be hip baby
Oh, I want you to be a square
I don't want you messing up baby

Those happy hours
That we once knew
Though long ago
Still makes me so blue
They say that time
Heals a broken heart
But time has stood still
Since we've been apart
I can't stop loving you
I've made up my mind
To live in memories
All the lonesome time
I can't stop wanting you
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life
In dreams of yesterday
Those happy, happy hours, baby
That we once knew
Though long ago
It still makes me blue
They say that time
Heals a broken heart
But time has stood still
Since we've been apart
I can't stop loving you, baby
I've made up my mind
To live in memories
All the lonesome time
I can't stop loving you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's useless to say
Useless to say
So I'll just live my life
In dreams of yesterday
Oh yeah, I've made up my mind
Made up my mind
So I'll just live my life
Live my life, yeah, yeah
I can't stop loving you
No, I can't
Baby, it's useless to say
Useless to say, yeah
So I'm gonna live my life
Live my life
In dreams of yesterday
Yesterday
I'm gonna, gonna live my life
Oh yeah, yes I am
In dreams of yesterday
Dreams of yesterday

I can hear my name ringin'
Ringin' all up and down the line
Yes I can hear my name ringin'
Ringin' all up and down the line
I don't believe my woman loves me
I believe I'm just messin' up my time
Yes, I have the blues before sunrise
With the tears gettin' to my eyes
I have the blues before sunrise
And the tears gettin' to my eyes
Yes, I get that funny feeling
It's the feeling I do despise
Yes, last night as I laid there dreamin'
I was layin' there by myself
Yes, last night as I laid dreamin'
I was layin' there by myself
I was just thinkin' if my woman don't love me

I've been down hearted baby, ever since the day we met
I said I've been down hearted baby, ever since the day we met
Our love is nothing but the blues, baby, how blue can you get?
You're evil when I'm with you, baby, and you're jealous when we're apart
I said you're evil when I'm with you, baby, and you're jealous when we're apart
How blue can you get baby, the answer is right here in my heart
I gave you a brand new Ford, but you said: "I want a Cadillac"
I bought you a ten dollar dinner, and you said: thanks for the snack
I let you live in my penthouse, you said it just a shack
I gave seven children, and now you wanna give them back
I said I've been down hearted baby, ever since the day we met

Don't you ever, feel sad
Lean on me, when the times are bad
When the day comes
And you're in doubt
In a river of trouble, about to drown
Hold on, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming
Hold on, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming
I'm on my way, your lover
If you get cold, yeah, I'll be your cover
Don't have to worry, because I'm here
No need to suffer because I'm here
Hold on, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming
Hold on, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming
Hold on, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming
Hold on, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming
Reach out to me, for satisfaction, yeah
Call my name, for quick reaction
Well don't you ever, feel sad
Lean on me, when times are bad
When the day comes
And you're in doubt
In a river of trouble, an about to drown
Hold on, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming
Hold on, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming

Turn out the light, sleep won't come
I think about what's going wrong
Lying so close, so alone
Please turn to me, I'm almost gone
Hold on, I feel our love is changing
Hold on, please don't let me disappear
Hold on, there's time to rearrange things
Hold on, I'm not me without you here
Put out your hand, touch desire
Where there's a spark, could be a fire
Open your arms, let me see
If there's still love in you for me
Hold on, I feel our love is changing
Hold on, please don't let me disappear
Hold on, there's time to rearrange things

Help the poor
Won't you help poor me
I need help from you baby
Need it desperately
I need you so much
I need your care
Need all the loving baby you can spare
Help the poor
Oh, baby won't you help poor me
Say you will
Say you'll help me on
I can't make it no longer
In this world alone
Baby I'm beggin' with tears in my eyes
For your love don't you realize
I need help
Oh baby help poor me
You are my inspiration
Baby that's makes be a king
But if you don't come to my rescue
I couldn't ever be anything
Help the poor
Won't you help poor me
Have a heart won't you baby
Listen to my plead
Oh I lost my courage till I found you
You got what it takes baby
To pull me through
Help the poor
Oh baby won't you help poor me
You are my inspiration
Baby that's makes be a king
But if you don't come to my rescue
I couldn't ever be anything
Help the poor
Won't you help poor me
Have a heart won't you baby
Listen to my plead
Oh I lost my courage till I found you
You got what it takes baby
To pull me through
Help the poor

You can lead a horse to water
But you can't make him drink
You can send a kid to college
But you can't make him think
You'll never miss your water, baby
Till the well runs dry
And you'll never miss me, baby
Till I say good-bye
Mm hm, you'd better heed my warning
The straw that broke the camel's back
Didn't have to be so big
And when you ran off and left me, baby
I almost blew my wig
They say he who has the last laugh
Always laughs the best
And I'm gonna laugh louder, baby
Than all the rest
Mm hm, baby, you'd better heed
You'd better heed my warning
If you want me to get out, baby
You know you don't have to push
But you'll find a bird in hand
Is worth two in the bush
There's no need to lock the barn door
When the cow is gone
But you're gonna miss me, baby
On some frosty dawn
Mm hm, you know you'd better heed
You'd better heed my warning
It's a long, long road
That don't have a turn
You have to be an early bird
If you wanna catch a worm
They say absence makes
The heart grow fonder
So it's plain to see
If the grass look greener yonder
Baby, that's where I'm gonna be
Mm hm, baby, you know you'd better heed

Baby lights her cigarette
And takes a look around
She says that morning sun
Sure does get her down
Nothing else to see
Just to help her lose
Those happy birthday blues
Grandpa takes a drink of wine
And tells it like it was
Tells me all he wants to do
Is what everybody does
Say he'd give the world
For a little girl
Just to help him lose
Those happy birthday blues
Happy birthday blues
Happy birthday blues
Got to pay your dues
Those happy birthday blues
In and out and on and on
Everybody goes
And where the fun with finally stops
Everybody knows
Girls it's me and you
Doing what we do
Just one way to lose

I want you to stop right there, baby
Baby, and try to understand
Hey, I might have been your fool for a while, baby
But I know I'm a good loving man
And you shouldn't lie to me, baby
Makes me mad as a man can be
I know when you got home last night
Your kissing me was your plan
I know you were just faking me, baby
'Cause you'd been out with your other man
And you shouldn't lie to me, baby
Makes me mad as a man can be
Hey, I can't quit you, baby
'Cause you're honey but the bees don't know
There's one thing I got to tell you, little girl
Just one thing before I go
That is you shouldn't lie to me, baby

Ah, because I'm not crazy, jealous, baby
It don't mean that I don't care
Ah, because I'm not crazy, jealous, baby
It don't mean that I don't care
Yes, because if you keep messin' up with me, darling
I tell you, they're gonna miss you around here
Yes, because I try to play cool, baby
Yes, you seem to think that I'm a fool
Yes, because I try to play it cool, woman
You seem to think that I'm a fool
Yes, but I'm gonna tell you my dear
Oh baby, they gonna miss you around here
Yes, you might as well stop your horses
Turn your wagon around
I know what's on your mind
And I ain't goin' for what your puttin' down
Oh, I played it cool, baby
And you seem to think I'm a fool
Yes, but I'm gonna tell you my dear
That they gonna miss you around here
Yes, stop your horses, turn your wagon around
I know what's on your mind
I ain't goin' for what your puttin' down
Because I play it cool, baby, don't mean that I'm a fool
Yes, I'm gonna tell you, baby

I'm going home to see my baby, I'm going home
I'm going home to see my baby, I'm going home

I'm going home to see my baby, I'm going home
I'm gonna take her in my arms
I'm gonna hold her all night long

If there is something wrong
Want to you please let me know
Because my baby needs me
And I really really must go
How bad I wanna see my woman

But walkin' is too slow
I'm going home to see my baby, I'm going home
I'm going home to see my baby, I'm going home
I'm gonna take her in my arms
I'm gonna hold her all night long

Yes, you thought you had a good thing, baby
You could do what you wanted to do
Yes, but you'd better find you another thing, baby
Because this thing is cutting out on you
I'm tired of you putting me down
I think I'll do like a mole and move underground
I tried to do everything for you, baby
Tried to give you everything, even the stars above
Oh but you wanted someone to play with, baby
And I needed me someone to love
I say I'm tired of you putting me down
I think I'll do like a mole and move underground
Yes, I can't be a winner, baby
Because I was born to lose
I go to bed every night with troubles, baby
Because I wake up thinking about you
I'm tired of you putting me down, baby
I think I'm gonna do like a mole and move underground
Oh I paid the cost, baby, I even sing the blues
I've done everything to please you
And I'm tired of paying my dues
And I'm tired of you putting me down
That's why I'm gonna do like a mole

I said Lord up in heaven
Honey, what's been wrong with you
Just give me one good reason
For what we've been going through
Oh, go on
'Cause you brought me to my knees
Go on, do just what you please
I'd rather you'd just leave me alone
So baby, go on
Are you sure you still love me?
All you seem to want to do is fight
Always telling me
I can't do anything right
You'd better go on
You've got me on my knees
Go on, do just what you please
I'd rather you just leave me alone
So baby, go on
Go on, go on, go on, baby, go on, go on
'Cause you brought me to my knees
Go on, do just what you please
You wanna lose your happy home
Then baby, go on
Now, I've run out of patience
And the chances are slim
Since I walked around the corner
Saw you kissing on him
You said he's just a long lost friend
If you please
You'd better take him home now
So darling, where's the keys
Go on, got me on my knees
Go on, do just what you please
You wanna lose your happy home
Then baby, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
I'd rather you just leave me alone
Baby, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, baby, go on

I was by myself
Tryin' to get my thoughts together
Tryin' to figure out me something
That would make my life a little better
So I came up with one thing
And I don't think I'm wrong
Ain't nothing but a fool want to live his life alone
So I got to get myself somebody
Somebody to call my own
Cause it ain't nothing but a fool want to live his life all alone
From log rollers to ditch diggers
From beggars to presidents
Whoah, everybody's got somebody if they got a little sense
So I got to get myself somebody
Somebody to call my own
Ain't nothing but a fool want to live his life all alone
Gettin' used to my baby's ways is the price I'm gonna pay
Gonna love her everyday when she talk too much and not know what she say
Gonna hold on to you baby like a dog holds on to a bone
Cause nothing in this world want to live his life alone
So I got to get myself somebody
Somebody to call my own
Cause it's nothing but a fool want to live his life all alone...all alone
Well I get so lonely sometimes...so lonely
Oh I get so lonely sometimes...I'm all alone

Don't understand
How I could be so blind
Something is changing
And I don't know why
Heaven knows how much I sacrifice
(I hear you, I hear you)
Now nothing in this world
Will ever change her mind
Freedom, what she needs
She wants freedom
'Cause she got dreams
In her heart it's time to go
A long way from home
Yes, it's a long way from home
I still remember
Her standing there
(Yeah, baby)
The sun was shining
On her soft brown hair
Well, all my life
Every tear I cried
I saw the future in her eyes
Now her heart says it's time to go
A long way from home
Freedom is what she needs
She wants freedom
'Cause she's got dreams
And I hope she knows she's not alone
'Cause it's a long way from home
It's a long way from home
I think about her and then I pray
That she'll be safe and warm
(Safe and warm)
I get on my knees
(Down on my knees)
Oh Lord
(Oh Lord)
Freedom is what she needs
She wants freedom
'Cause she's got dreams
Give her freedom to believe
Her heart says it's time to go
A long way from home
Such a long way from home
It's a long way from home
Freedom
(Uh huh, that's what I want)
Freedom
(That's what I need)
Freedom
(That's what I've got to have)
Freedom
(Oh baby, that's what I've gotta have)
Freedom
(Oh baby, baby)
Freedom
Freedom, freedom
(She needs freedom)
Freedom
(That's what she needs)
(She wants, she wants freedom)
Freedom, she wants freedom
(She's got to have)

When I was a young man
Just gotten out
I didn't know
What this world was all about
I was lied to, I was cheated

To learn the rules

Fool me twice, shame on me
Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, shame on me
Lady swore she loved me
Loved through and through
And then my pal said
She said she loved him, too
And the milkman and the postman
And in a dream

Fool me twice, shame on me
Fool me once
Do me as bad as you can do
Shame on you
Shame on you
Fool me twice
I'll be as mad as I can be
Shame on me

Banker took my money
Bought him a stake
The banker swore that one day
We'd both feel great
Then the 80's turned to the 90's
And my money can't be found
Banker's on a long trip
Out of town
Fool me once
Do me as bad as you can do
Shame on you
Shame on you
Fool me twice
I'll be as mad as I can be
Shame on me

And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
I've been out here so very long
I done lost all my direction
Baby, when you came my way

Drowning in the sea of love

Drowning in the sea of love
Sea of love, sea of love

Yes, you know I wouldn't lie
Well, if I don't love you baby
I swear I hope I die
Oh baby, don't you want a man like me?
Yeah baby, don't you want a man like me?
Well, you think only about our future
And forget about your used to be
Well now, this is my confession mama
And I'm thrilled by all your charms
It seems that I'm in heaven when you hold me in your arms
Now baby, you can have me for yourself
Well now, you was meant for me baby
And I don't want nobody else
Oh baby, don't you want a man like me?
Yeah baby, don't you want a man like me?
Well, you think only about our future

I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain and deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
Well, I guess when you met me
That it was just one of those things
But don't you ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
Woah, you're gonna love me like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
Won't that be fine
Day may be cloudy or sunny
We're either in or either out of the money
I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
Won't that be fine
Day may be cloudy or sunny

Here's to you honey
May Christmas bring you happiness

Headin' for the station with a pack on my back
I'm tired of transportation in the back of my hack
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety clack
And hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack
To pal around with democratic fellow named Mac
So take me right back to the track, Jack
Choo choo, choo choo, ch'boogie, woo woo
Woo woo, ch'boogie, choo choo, choo choo, ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack
You reach your destination but you don't go back
You need some compensation to get back in the black
You take a morning paper from the top of the stack
And read the situations from the front to the back
But the only job that's open needs a man with a knack
So put it right back in the rack, Jack
Choo choo, choo choo, ch'boogie, woo woo
Woo woo, ch'boogie, choo choo, choo choo, ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack
Gonna settle down by the railroad track
Live the life O'Riley in the beat down shack
When I hear a whistle I can peep through the crack
Watch the train rollin' when it's ballin' the jack
Love to hear the rhythm of the clickety clack
So take me right back to the track, Jack
Choo choo, choo choo, ch'boogie, woo woo
Woo woo, ch'boogie, choo choo, choo choo, ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack

I got a fine looking woman
I call her "that gal of mine"
Yes, she's a fine looking woman
I call her "that gal of mine"
Yes, the reason I love her
Because she's dressed so fine
Well, she's a fine looking woman
And she lives across the town
Well, she's a fine looking woman
And she lives across the town
Yeah, my baby's trying to leave me
She's trying to put me down
Hey, it's bye bye baby
Bye bye and fare you well
Hey, it's bye bye baby
Bye bye and fare you well
Well, what I'm gonna do now
Baby, it's hard to tell
Yeah, it's bye bye
Bye bye baby bye
Well, bye bye baby
Bye bye bye baby bye bye
Yes, since you're gonna leave me

Oh you're gonna miss me baby
And I'll be so far away
Oh you're gonna miss me baby
And I'll be so far away
You know you better change now baby
Baby there's always another day
Oh your friend will always tell you baby
They'll say that you're going strong
Oh your friend will always tell you baby
They'll say that you're going strong
Well they'll smile and call you lover
Fool, don't you know you're doing wrong
Oh you better stop right now baby
You better stop now and draw the line
Yes you better stop right now baby
Baby better stop now and draw the line
Oh, I want you to tell me that you love me baby

When I come home in the morning
And I knock on the door
I don't get that glad to see you welcome
The glad to see you welcome any more
Oh but to me
It's just like it used to be, baby
Because you're still my woman
You know a change have come
And I guess, I'll blame it on fate
The thing that once was love
It now seems to turn to hate
Oh, I guess it's too late
For me now, baby
But you're still my woman
You know I tried to be
The man you wanted me to be
But whatever I do, baby
It seems to add to your misery
Oh, you can do
What you want to, baby
But you're still my woman
You know I'm still hoping and praying
That someday I'll find someone to love me
So I can have love and peace of mind
Oh, I still love you
Like I did before, baby
Because you're still my woman
Your friends are all telling you
That I'm a no good so and so
They say that love and affection
Have now turned to a heart
A heart that's old and cold
It's the same old story
Same old story that's so often told
You're still my woman
You're still my woman
You're still my woman
You're still my woman

If you can't do no better, think I'd better get another that can
Yes, if you can't do no better, think I'd better get another that can
You know you're going around and cheap on me
You're doing nothing but losing a good man
You know life is too short to be worry, and I think you are not to understand
Yeah, life is too short to be worry think you are not to understand
You're keep going around and cheap on me
You ain't doing nothing but losing a good man
If I never said hello to you baby then I won't be say good bye
Hey, if I never said hello to you baby then I won't be say good bye
I got my cloths already packed now
I'm so hurt, I wanna cry
Oh, can you hear me, hear me baby?
Can you hear me?
Oh, I got my cloths
My cloths already packed now
I'm so hurt, I wanna cry
I wanna know why you treat me like you do baby
I wanna never tell me why
Yes, if you can't do me no better baby, think I'd better get another baby that can
Yes, if you can't do me no better baby, think I'd better get another baby that can
The way you treat me now baby, you ain't doing nothing but losing a good man
Hey, life is too short to be worry and I think you are not to understand
Hey, I say life is too short to be worry and I think you are not to understand
The way you treat me now baby, you ain't doing nothing but losing a good man

You're breakin' my heart baby,
And there ain't a damn thing I can do
Yes, you got me wringin' my hands and cryin' baby,
Well, you're breakin' my heart in two
Well, it's not easy for me to believe woman,
That you are doin' the things you do
Well, it's so hard for me to believe baby,
It's hard for me to believe you would do me wrong
Yes, please have mercy baby,
Won't you stay here where you belong?
Well you know I got the blues
I got the blues so bad now baby
Sometimes you make me wish,
Make me wish I'd never, never been born
Yes, I want to know why did you let me,
Why did you let me love you so long baby?
Why did you use me like a tool?
Yes, you played a game with my heart woman,

They say there ain't no woman that a man can trust
That they all use joo-joo, and goofy dust
But I don't argue baby
And I won't make no fuss
Cause I'm glad glad glad, I'm so glad baby
That you put it on me
Oh, I had pretty women in every town
And I played so hard when the sun went down
Oh, but you stopped my partying
You stopped my partying when you came around baby
Mmmm....and I'm so glad
I'm so glad, I'm so glad, I'm so glad baby
That you put it on me
If I hollered for help
The doctor would come
If I asked for medicine
You know he'd give me some
But that wouldn't cure me baby
Oh, and you know that wouldn't be no fun
So you just keep on, keep on mama
Oh, you just keep on puttin' it on me
Yes, just keep it up baby
Keep on puttin' it on me
Keep it up

Oh, baby you done lost your good thing now
Oh, baby you done lost your good thing now
Well the way I used to love you baby
Baby that's the way I hate you now
You used to say that you loved me
But baby I believe you've changed your mind
You used to say that you loved me
But baby I believe you've changed your mind
Well I don't blame you baby
Because you ain't what you used to be
Let me love you just one more time
Yes let me love you just one more time anyway
Oh, let me love you, let me love you, let me love you
One more time baby
Let me love you just one more time anyway
Oh you can't quit me now baby
Because you didn't mean me no good anyway
Well you know where I'm from baby
So please don't try to mistreat me
Yes you know where I'm from baby
So please don't try to mistreat me
Yes because I'll make your mother a present
Baby of you and your casket too
Oh you once said you loved me
And you would do anything I said
Oh you once said you loved me baby
And you would do anything I said
Oh but the way you treat me now baby
I just soon rather be dead
Oh, baby you done lost your good thing now
Oh, baby you done lost your good thing now
The way I used to love you

We've met before
In the same room of my imagination
And it gets so hard to deal with
Out strike temptation, yes it does
Yesterday in my mind
You were here but now we've parted
You need to come on back
And finish what we started, oh baby
I need to know
Who are you
And where did you come from
(Where did you come from, baby)
Who are you gonna give yourself to
And what are your plans
Tell me, baby
(I've really got to know now)
Who are you
And where are you going
Will you give yourself to me
Or some other man
I got to know, baby
You started what I thought
You intended to finish
You were right here yesterday
But today you vanished
When I woke up something told me
That I had been used
But I liked it
And when I couldn't find you
Lord, it gave me the blues
Now I really need to know
Who are you
And where did you come from
(And where did you come from, baby)
Who are you gonna give yourself to
Baby, what are your plans
Tell me, girl
Who are you
And where are we going
Will you give yourself to me
Or some other man, baby
Who are you, baby, who are you
Who are you, baby, who are you
I'd really like to know about you, baby
Who are you, baby
Where are we going

We are trav'ling in the footsteps
Of those who've gone before
And we'll all be reunited,
On a new and sunlit shore,
Oh, when the saints go marching in,
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Lord how I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in
And when the sun begins to shine
And when the sun begins to shine
Lord, how I want to be in that number
When the sun begins to shine
Oh, when the saints go marching in,
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Lord how I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in
Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call
Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call
Lord, how I want to be in that number
When the trumpet sounds its call
Oh, when the saints go marching in,
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Lord how I want to be in that number

The world goes 'round
No one knows what it all means
You're still out there
Looking for a brand new scene
And I'm still here
Never have been hard to find
When new gets old
I'll be playing on your mind
When it all comes down
Look for me I'll still be around
When it all comes down
Look for me I'll still be around
The day will come
When there's nothing new to see
And then you'll know
Here is where you want to be
You know my song
Used to take your heart away
That same old feelin'
Is gonna bring you back to stay
When it all comes down
Look for me I'll still be around
When it all comes down
Look for me I'll still be around
When it all comes down
Look for me I'll still be around
When it all comes down
Look for me I'll still be around
When it all comes down
Look for me I'll still be around
When it all comes down
Look for me I'll still be around
When it all, yes it will
I'll still be around
When it all comes down
I'll still be around

Someday I'll be gone
Believe me, it won't be long
When I leave you it's gonna grieve you
What you bet
You're abusing of our romance
I'm warning you in advance
You're gonna cry when I say bye bye
What you bet, what you bet
I smiled when you mistreated me
My friends called me a fool
I firmly believe where love is concerned
You've broken every rule
Oh, you got a good thing in me
You're gonna lose me, wait and see
You won't wake up until we break up
What you bet, what you bet
Oh, I smiled when you mistreated me
My friends called me a fool
I firmly believe where love is concerned
You've broken every rule
Oh, you got a good thing in me
You're gonna lose me, wait and see
You won't wake up until we break up

People say you love but one at time
For every woman there's a man
My baby say she wasn't put here forever
So she's gonna get as many as she can
What can I do
Yes, I just sing the blues
Well, I just sing the blues
'Cause that's the only thing I know to do
Well, some people may be wrong sometimes
But they can't be wrong all the time
Like they say a cat has nine lives
Nine loves has the woman of mine
What can I do
Yes, I just sing the blues
Well, I just sing the blues
'Cause that's the only thing I know to do
Well, the women are funny these days
They do wrong in so many ways
They'll have a man twiddling his fingers
Or either drinking his life away
What can I do
Yes, I just sing the blues
Well, I just sing the blues

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue, and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark say'n goodnight
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces, of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, sayin' "how do you do?"
They're really sayin' "I love you"
I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself, what a wonderful world

We can't make it baby
We can't last another year
We can't make it baby
We can't last another year
Well I try to treat you kind baby
But it seems like you got the wrong idea
I give you all of my money baby
To buy those real fine clothes
I give you all of my money baby
To buy those real fine clothes
I bought you a home and everything baby
Now you're trying to put old me outdoors
When I first met you baby
You had to do it out in the street
When I first met you baby
You had to do it out in the street
I put clothes on your back, baby
I put shoes on your feet
It seems right to me baby
Since you got your feet up off the ground
It seems right to me baby
Since you got your feet up off the ground
You're a real big-shot woman now

You never treated me gentle
Yet you spend up all of my gold
Then you look around for a young man
Tell me I'm too old
That's why we can't agree
Yeah, baby, we can't agree
Now if I don't see you no more, baby
It'll be way too soon for me
You're known for being a lover
You like to holler loud
One man for you ain't nothing
You talk so loud you draw a crowd
That's why we can't agree
Yes, baby, we can't agree
Now if I don't see you no more, baby
It'll be way too soon for me
You're used to eating hot dogs
When you go out to dine
I taught you what a steak was
And now you've almost lost your mind
That's why we can't agree
Yes, baby, we can't agree
Now if I don't see you no more, baby
Honey, that'll be way too soon for me
You know it will
Now your clothes look like a sifter
Because they had so many holes
You know we both
Came from the ghetto, baby
And everybody knows
We can't agree
Yes, baby, we can't agree
Now if I don't see you
No more, little woman
Honey, it'll be way too soon for me
Yes, it will
Another one of them crazy endings.

Yes, people are talkin' all over town
They say you don't love me
You gonna put me down
You better watch yourself baby
You better watch yourself
You better watch yourself woman
'Cause I got my eyes on you
Now you tell me what's the matter
What you gonna do
First you say you love me
Now you say we're through
You better watch yourself baby
Watch yourself
You better watch yourself woman
'Cause I got my eyes on you
I gave you my money
Everything too
A big fat house
Now baby what you gonna do
You better watch yourself
You better watch yourself
You better watch yourself woman
'Cause I got my eyes on you
Now you're gonna leave me
Leave me here to cry
Now you know I love you
You're my whole heart's desire
You better watch yourself baby
You better watch yourself
You better watch yourself woman
'Cause I got my eyes on you
Yes!
Yes, yes baby!
Yes, yes baby!
Yes, yes baby!
Yes, yes baby!
You better watch yourself woman
You better watch yourself
You better watch yourself baby

Well, my head's in misery
My heart's in a sling
I'm a walking Doctor Bill
People, my whole life is full of pain
Yes, I need my baby
People, I ain't signifyin'
Well, you know if I don't hurry up and find her
I believe I'm gonna lose my mind
Well, I walked my bedroom floor
Hung down my head and cried
I didn't exactly have the blues
I just want satisfied
Yes, I need my baby
People, I ain't signifyin'
Well, you know if I don't hurry up and find her
I believe I'm gonna lose my mind
Well, I can't sleep sound at night
I just cat-nap through the day
I can't hold out much lounger
People, livin' this-a-way, yeah!
Yes, I need my baby
People, I ain't signifyin'
Well, you know if I don't hurry up and find her
I believe I'm gonna lose my mind
I'm gonna leave here walkin' buddy
With my clothes in my hand
I got to find my big-legged woman
Before she gets her another man, yes!
Yes, I need my baby
People, I ain't signifyin'
Well, you know if I don't hurry up and find her
I believe I'm gonna lose my mind
She's a fine lookin' woman
Her shape is a dream
She's the lovin'-est female
People, I've ever seen, yes!
Yes, I need my baby
People, I ain't signifyin'
Well, you know if I don't hurry up and find her

When I first met you, said you would be mine
Found out later you was tellin' me a lie
And now I'm walkin', walkin' and cryin'
You don't love me no more
Now if there's one thing that I just can't stand
Can't stand to see you with another man
Because I'm walkin', walkin' and cryin'
You don't love me no more
I did all for you, did all I could
All I did darlin', it didn't do me no good
And now I'm walkin', walkin' and cryin'
You don't love me no more
Now I'm goin' on, goin' on my way
I know you don't love me now darlin'
But you will some old day
Because I'm walkin', walkin' and cryin'

Oh, by loving you
Loving you, my darling
Oh, you've become
Much more than a lover to me
Yes, you are my companion
Oh, you're my friend
And baby, you know
You're a part of me
Oh, and that's why
Why I'm so lonely
Oh, I'm so lonely
These passing days
Because I miss you
My darling
Not just one
But in so many, so many ways
Oh, there's nothing left
Nothing left inside of me
Oh, that loves you
Any less than before
Oh, and if you
Wanna know the truth, baby
If you really, really
Wanna know the truth, baby
You know I want you
And need you even more
Oh, what's done is done, baby
So I've been told
Oh, but I can't stop loving you
Seems like I love you more
And I'll keep on loving you, baby
Until, until I'm dead and cold
Oh, there's nothing left inside of me
Oh, that loves you any less than before
M, and if you really
If you really, if you really
Wanna know the truth, baby
I love you, I love you
I love you even more
What is done, what is done
What is done is done
Oh, but you know
I just can't stop loving you
I tell you the truth
I love you more, baby
And I'll keep on loving you
Until I'm dead

I know you've been cheatin' on me baby
And I know you don't mean me no good
Oh I know you've been cheatin' on me, woman
And I know you don't mean me no good
That's why I blame myself
I didn't treat you like I should
Oh, I was too good to you baby
I gave you everything I own
Yes, I was too good to you woman
I gave you everything I own
That's why I blame myself
Every time you do me wrong
You got your eyes wide open woman
But you're travelling down the wrong road
Oh you got your eyes wide open baby
And you're travelling down the wrong road
Yes, a wine drinkin' and cheatin', woman

Sometimes I wonder
Just what am I fighting for?
I win some battles
But I always lose the war
I keep right on stumblin'
In this no-man's land out here
But I know
Mmmmm yes, I know
There must be a better world somewhere
Flying high
Some joker clips my wings
Just because he gets a kick
Out of doing those kind of things
I keep on fallin' in space
Or just hangin' in mid-air
But I know
Ohh yes, I know
There has just got to be a better world somewhere
Every woman I want
Only wants herself
Everybody I love
Seems to love somebody else
And every woman
Got a license to break my heart
And every love, oh it's over
Over before it gets a chance to start
If it ain't dead
Maybe in the year after
Instead of tears
I'll learn all about laughter
But meanwhile I'm stuck out here
It just ain't fair, but I know
I said I know
Oh yes, I know
There must be a better world somewhere
There's just gotta be
Gotta be a better world somewhere

Yes, it was the worst thing in my life
The worst thing I ever witnessed to
The worst thing in my life
The worst thing I ever witnessed to
When the woman that I love
Went to say it was really through
Yes I said take it easy baby
A lot of things came before we part
Yes I said take it easy baby
A lot of things came before we part
Yes, a lot of the foolish things you've doin' baby
I want to know what do you think you're doing to me
Because you think you've so sweet
Yes, don't say that you want to leave me baby
But think of the shape you'll be in
Yes, don't say that you want to leave me baby
But just think of the shape you'll be in
I want to know you'll hate you ever met me
And you'll hate the day when we began
Why should you acusse me baby
Without me givin' you a cause
Want to know why should you acusse me baby
Without me givin' you a cause
I know I've been good to you baby
As if I was Santa Claus
Yes, you don't think much of your life baby
Baby to put yourself on the spot
Yes, you don't think much of your life baby
Honey to put yourself on the spot
Yes, when the people see me clowin' woman

The blues has got me
And there is teardrops in my eyes
Oh, the blues has got me
There is teardrops in my eyes
Yes, dark is the night
Since my baby said goodbye
Oh, how I've suffered
Since my baby wnet away
Yes, how I've suffered
Since my baby wnet away
Yes, I've got that feeling
That my baby's gone to stay
Take me back, darling
Forgive me for the wrongs I've done
Ah, take me back, darling
Forgive me for the wrongs I've done
Now I know that I love you
And you're the only one
Talk to me baby
Call me on the telephone
Yes, talk to me baby
Call me on the telephone
Well, the blues has got me
And I want my baby home
If your baby loves you
Keep her home and treat her nice
Oh, if your baby loves you
Keep her home and treat her nice
Well, never mistreat a good woman

My baby gives me love
As good as love can be
I just leave her crying
When the blues come over me
Up on a mountain
I'm drowning in the sea
All the clocks say midnight
When the blues come over me
The blues come over me
I pack it up and go
The blues come over me
I catch the wind and blow
And some will take the wine
And some will take the night
When everything's all wrong
Then anything is all right
Some put in a song
And some sing it for their dues
Some go to sleep and wake up
Tangled in the blues
The blues come over me
I pack it up and go
The blues come over me
I catch the wind and blow
The blues come in a whisper
And make you scream and shout
And you'll do most anything
Just to let them out
I may think I'm happy
I may think I'm free
Nothing don't mean nothing
When the blues come over me
The blues come up behind
The blues wait up ahead
The blues ask why you are born
If you just end up dead
The blues, talking about the blues
The blues, oh the blues, the blues
Talking about the blues
When the blues come over me
Talking about the blues
I have to go away
The blues, the blues
When the blues come over me

There ain't no road too rough to walk
There ain't no talk too sweet to talk
Wherever you are, it's where I'll be
'Cos that's how much you mean to me
All the money in the whole round world
Wouldn't be enough for you, little girl
Wish I could give you a money tree
'Cos that's how much you mean to me
A girl like you needs some loving
Teasin', squeezin' and huggin'
Step right up and take my hand
I wanna be your great big hunk of man
Baby, I wanna have your picture
To put it in my, my storybook
While it out big so the world can see

Hey baby, you ain't treating me right
You go off everyday and don't come home til night
That ain't the way to do it
That ain't the way to do it
That ain't the way to do it
That ain't the way to get along
Well I'm pickin' you up and takin' you to my house
Now you're up and you're treating me like a mouse
That ain't the way to do it
That ain't the way to do it
That ain't the way to do it
That ain't the way to get along
Well I takin' you into my house and did everything I could
You told everybody in the neighborhood
That ain't the way to do it
That ain't the way to do it
That ain't the way to do it
That ain't the way to get along
Well if you got a little woman and she won't treat you right
Beat her three times a day and whoop her a little at night
That ain't the way to do it
That ain't the way to do it
That ain't the way to do it

Just tell me baby! Just tell me baby!
What can I do to change your mind?
Hey, hey, hey baby
What can I do to change your mind
I've got the blues about you baby*
You keep me worried all the time
You say you love me
I believe you do
But I think you're trying to quit me
And what more can I do?
Hey, hey, hey baby
What can I do to change your mind?
I've got the blues about you baby
You keep me worried all the time
You've got a man in the east
You've got a man in the west
I'm sitting here wondering
Which one you love the best
Hey, hey, hey baby
What can I do to change your mind?
Got the blues about you baby
Keep me worried all the time
*in the original version:
I've got the freight train blues

Woke up this morning I was all alone
Saw your picture by the telephone
I was missing you oh so bad
Wish I had you here to hold
All I've got is this touch-tone phone
So I guess I'll give you a call
Operator help me please
Get thru to my baby way overseas
Time's wastin' oh so fast
Hello baby tell me is that you
I don't know what we're gonna do
But for now I'm glad I got you on the line
Well it feels so fine
Knowing you're all right
But you're miles away
Lord it's not the same
Well I woke up this morning I was all alone
Saw your picture by the telephone
I've been missing you baby oh so bad
I love you baby with all my might
Come on home and squeeze me tight
Long distance lovin's

If you're gonna walk on my love, baby
The least you can do is take off your shoes
Yeah, if you're gonna walk on my love, baby
The least you can do is take off your shoes
Yes, how can you hurt me so bad, baby
After I've been so good to you
Coming home last night about half past ten
I saw you with another man, baby
Coming out of the Dewdrop Inn
You know I recognized the dress
I bought you, baby
To match your red shoes
But you said if I didn't touch you
Hey, I could have been used
If you're gonna walk on my love, baby
The least you can do is take off your shoes
I wanna know how can you hurt me so bad, baby
After I've been so good to you
Your love is so good, baby
You know it's hard to complain
But I've been out here knocking about fifteen minutes
In this cold pouring rain
I hear the music played inside
So you know I know you're at home
Who's in there with you, baby
I believe you are doing me wrong
If you're gonna walk on my love, baby
The least you can do is take off your shoes
I wanna know how can you hurt me so bad, baby
After I've been so good to you
Please walk beside me, baby
Why do you wanna treat me like a fool
Oh please, please, walk beside me, baby
Why do you treat me like a fool
If you're just gonna walk on my love, baby
Baby, please take off your shoes
Oh, baby, baby, baby
I know you hear me calling you
Oh, I know you know your name, baby
Why do you treat me just like a fool
Yeah, if you're just gonna
Gonna walk on my love, baby
Oh, do me a favor, please take off your shoes
Take 'em all, baby

When I first met you, baby
Baby, you were just sweet sixteen
When I first met you, baby
Baby, you were just sweet sixteen
You just left your home then, woman
Ah, the sweetest thing I'd ever seen
But you wouldn't do nothing, baby
You wouldn't do anything I asked to
You wouldn't do nothing for me, baby
You wouldn't do anything I asked to
You know you ran away from your home, baby
And now you wanna run away from old B. too
You know I loved you, baby
I loved you before I could call your name
You know I loved you, baby
Baby I loved you, I love you before I could call your name
Well, it seems like everything I do now baby
Everything I do is in vain
My brother's in Korea, baby
My sister's down in New Orleans
Brother's in Korea baby
My sister's down in New Orleans
You know I'm having so much trouble woman
Baby, I wonder, what in the world is gonna happen to me
You know I love you
And I'll do anything you tell me to
You know I love you
And I'll do anything you tell me to
Well, there ain't nothing in the world, woman
Babe, it ain't nothing
Nothing in the world I wouldn't do it for you
You can treat me mean, baby
But I'll keep on loving you just the same
You can treat me mean baby
But I'll keep on loving you just the same
But one of these days, baby
You're gonna give a lot of money
To hear someone call my name
Yes, sweet sixteen baby... sweet sixteen...
Yes, the sweetest thing baby
The sweetest thing I ever seen
You know I'm having so much trouble, woman
Baby I wonder
Yes I wonder
Baby I wonder

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin' dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around people lookin' half dead
Walkin' on the sidewalk out of their match head
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find me a girl
Come on, come on, dance all night
Despite the heat it will be alright
And baby, don't you know it's a pity?
The days can be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city
Cool town evening in the city
Dressed so fine and lookin' so pretty
Cool cat lookin' for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm [Incomprehensible] like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the roof top
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find me a girl
Come on, come on, we'll dance all night
Despite the heat it will be alright
And baby, don't you know it's a pity
The days can be like the nights
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find me a girl
Come on, come on, we'll dance all night
Despite the heat it will be alright
And baby, don't you know it's a pity
The days can be like the nights
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city
Hot town, summer in the city
[Incomprehensible]
Hot town, summer in the city

They called it stormy Monday,but Tuesday is just as bad
Oh, they called it, they called it stormy monday,
But Tuesday, Tuesday is just as bad
Oh, Wednesday is worst And Thursday oh so sad
The eagle flies on Friday now, Saturday I'll go out to play
Oh, the eagle, the eagle flies on Friday Saturday I'll go out and play
Sunday I'll go to church, and I fall on my knees and pray
I say, Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me
But Lord, Lord have mercy Lord have mercy on me
You know I'm crazy 'bout my baby

I've got something up my sleeve
I've got something up my sleeve
Without saying the word
I'm ready for a party tonight
My fire is on the front burner
Can't you tell by the mood I'm in
You have no need to doubt
Do I have to spell it out
Just read between the lines
Yeah, tonight we're going to unwind
I'll make you see
Baby, we can talk it out
Everything, everything
That I'm thinking about
I've got something up my sleeve
I've got something up my sleeve
Something up my sleeve
There's a place just for two
And it's just right for me and you
To let our emotions go free
And be what we wanna be
Turn off the lights
Pull out the phone
Do not disturb
Nobody's home
Baby, for so long
I wanted to get next to you
Just let me love you
There's no telling what I may do
'Cause -
I've got something up my sleeve
I've got something up my sleeve
Something up my sleeve
Stay with me, baby
We can work it out
Just let me get next to you
Ain't no telling what I may do
I've got something up my sleeve
I've got something up my sleeve
I've got something up my sleeve
I've got something up my sleeve, baby
I've got something, baby
Up my sleeve, baby
Give me a chance

Somebody done changed
Somebody done changed the lock on that door
Somebody done changed
They done changed the lock on that door
'Cause the key I got won't fit that lock no more
Now I came home last night about half past ten
Tried to get the key in the lock but I couldn't get it in
'Cause somebody done changed
They done changed the lock on that door
'Cause the key I got won't fit that lock no more
I looked through the window to see what I could see
She was talking to someone else
I know it wasn't me
She said, "daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, you don't have to go
'Cause I done changed, I done changed that lock on my door"
She changed the bed around, even painted the door
She even changed the carpet, I mean on the floor
My baby changed
Oh she done changed the lock on my door
'Cause the key I got won't fit that lock no more
Well, I walked down the street, lookin' where I used to go
She's got a mean black snake, and I can't go there no more
My baby changed
She done changed the lock on my door

Well, this past day, darlin'
Don't have to cry no more
Well, past day, darlin'
Yes, I don't have to cry no more
Well, I found my baby
Don't have to walk from door to door
Well, I look around me
Lord, my baby can't be found
I look around me
Well, my baby, she can't be found
Well, I don't have to walk around no more
Don't have to go down to the bowlin' ground
Alright now
Oh, I'm sayin' goodbye
Well, I won't say goodbye no more
Oh, I'm sayin' goodbye, baby
No, don't have to say goodbye no more
Well, I found my baby

Oh, I'm so excited, think about you all the time
Yes, I can't wait to see you baby
You really best of my mind
You're so fine, wanna hold you all the time
Oh, when, when you touch me baby, tears of joy I'm crying
Oh, and when you hold me chills run up and down my spine
You're so fine, think about you all the time
Yes, I'm so excited, I met peace with the world
Oh, can this love be real? I'm talking about my new, new love
You're so fine baby, wanna love you all the time
Hey, I'm so excited, don't know what you're doing myself
Oh, I'm so happy baby, don't need nobody else
You're so fine baby, think about you all the time
Yes, when I look in your eyes, you put me in a trance
Oh, I just shake all over baby, oh, I feel like I wanna dance
You're so fine baby, wanna hold you all the time
How can this be a dream, can this really happen to me?
Oh, surely loved at last, seems like a fantasy
You're so fine baby, wanna hold you all the time
Oh, I thought I've been in love, so many, many times
Oh, but this new love, has really messed up my mind
You're so fine, think about you all the time
You're so nice and lovin', everything you do is right
I just can't wait, I can't wait baby
Can't wait for you to hold me tight

Well hello pretty baby
I just called to say that we're through
Because I'm so tired of sneakin' around with you
I want to meet you in the sunlight
Not in a secret rendezvous
Because I'm so tired of sneakin' around with you
Oh you never, you're never meant to be mine
I was just too blind to see
Oh but I've got my pride, so why should we hide
When you might as well be free
Oh I love, you know I love you
Oh, and I want to tell the world I do
That's why I'm so tired of sneakin' around with you
Oh I'm so tired of sneakin' around with you

Some people says the man's made out of mud,
some people says of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bone,
a mind that's week and a back that's strong
You load sixteen tons, so what do you get,
another day older and deeper in debt
So, St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go,
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine,
picked up my shovel and I went to the mine
I loaded sixteen ton of number nine coal,
the straw-boss said, "God-dog your soul"
You load sixteen tons and, now, what do you get,
another day older and deeper in debt
So, St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go,
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin' when it was drizzle in rain,
fightin' and shootin' is my middle name
Born in a canebreak
by an ol' mama hound,
no high-tone mama can make me walk the line
I load sixteen tons, so what do you get,
another day older and deeper in debt
So, St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go,
I owe my soul to the company store
You see me comin' you better step aside,
a lot of men didn't and a whole lot of them died
One fist of iron and one of steal,
the right one don't get you, boy, the left one will
So, load sixteen ton, what do you get,
another day older and deeper in debt
So, St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go,

O lord I, I will serve You
I will serve You everyday
All my life I, I will praise You
Hear me calling now I pray
I will worship You only
Now I bow before Your throne Lord
Holy Father hear me calling
This is Your servant's prayer, Lord
When I'm sad You make me happy
Keep me safe from hurt and harm
When I'm burdened or I'm lonely
Comfort me within Your arms
Never leave me, ever keep me
You I'll follow anywhere Lord
Holy Father hear me calling
This is Your servant's prayer Lord
I give to You my life
My all I give to Thee
O Lord receive my offering today
This is Your servant's prayer
You gave to me Your love
Your son at Calvary
O Lord receive my Offering today

I wonder helplessly day by day
It's so much easier to run away
My mind is telling my body so
Never know which way to go
I'm always there for you baby
You let me see
If we can get closer everyday
I wanna be
Held by you
I wanna be
Touched by you
I wanna be
I wanna be loved by you
I wanna be
Anything you want me to
Don't mean nothing when you're growing old
Nobody knows what the future holds
I am left with a bitter taste
Turn away from that beautiful chase
I'm always there for you baby
You let me see
If we can get closer everyday
I wanna be
Held by you
I wanna be
Touched by you
I wanna be
I wanna be loved by you
I wanna be
