| 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
I'm going home to see my baby, I'm going home
So now, hurry up Mister Man
Load just as fast as you can
The plane is already late
I'm gonna get home as soon as I can
I wanted to take a bus
But they said the road was bad
I started to take a train but a freight was all they had
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
I'm going home to see my baby, I'm going home
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
I guess you'll never know
I would start tryin' to walk
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
I'm going home to see my baby, I'm going home

| The Letter | |
|
Yes, I want to write a letter
But I don't know just where to begin
Yes, I want to write a letter, people
But I don't know just where to begin
Well, I tell you, it's a sin, people
The way I've been treated by my so called friends
Yes, if I got a dollar
They want to borrow half a buck
Whoa, and if I want to gamble
They wanna jinx me and give me bad luck
So, I tell you it's a sin, people
The way I've been treated by my so called friends
Yes, they say friends
They're the greatest thing in the world
Yes, they say close, close friends
They're the greatest thing in the world
But I think that's all wrong people
Because my best friend have taken my girl
|
| You Never Know | |
|
Yeah, you never know how you hurt me, baby
How bad I feel inside
Oh, you never know how much you hurt me, woman
How bad I feel inside
I believed you when you said you loved me
Oh, but I know you lied
Oh, when I lay down in darkness
I keep hearin' your sweet voice
When I lay down in darkness, baby
I keep hearin' your sweet voice
And I remember you at chuch, woman, oh, and how I rejoice
I know the people are talkin', baby
But I don't care what they say
I realise that people talkin', baby
But I don't care what they say
I know I still love you, woman, and I want you home to stay
Yeah, if you ever change your mind, woman
Won't you please come on home
Oh, if you ever change your mind, baby
Won't you please come on home
Yes, I'm not good without you, baby
And you're not good to me gone
|
| Please Remember Me | |
|
I'm cryin' please, baby, honey, please remember me
I'm cryin' please, baby, please remember me
Well, it fills my heart with great consolation, darlin'
To know that you will remember me
Well, I want you to love me, baby
Like the snow falls on the cold, cold ground
Yes, I want you to love me, baby
Like the snow falls on the cold, cold ground
Lord, with your love like that, darlin'
I know you'll never let me down
Well, alright
Just talk to me, baby
Yes, alright
Well, when you were leavin', baby
Well, I could see the smile on your face
Oh, yes, when my baby was leavin'
People, I could see the smile on her face
Well, you know I'm so glad, people
There is no-one can take my place
|
| You Won't Listen | |
|
Yeah, you won't listen to nothing I tell you, woman
You keep on doin' as you please
Yeah, you won't listen to a thing I tell you, baby
You keep on doin' as you please
But I've taken it as long as I can, baby
When is this foolishness gonna cease
I worried myself crazy, baby
Cried both night and day
I worried myself crazy, woman
I cried both night and day
You didn't believe me, baby
When I told you I'm gonna leave one day
Yeah, you told me that you love me, woman
But action speaks louder than words
Well, you said that you love me, woman
But action speaks louder than words
I won't be foolin' around no more
That's a line everybody has heard
If you don't change for the better, baby
You better do it real soon
If you don't change for the better, woman
and you better do it real soon
Or you will wake up one of these mornings, baby
And find yourself in a empty room
|
| Sundown | |
|
Long about sundown, I've gotta be on my way
Sad long about sundown, I've gotta be on my way
Goin' back to my woman and this time I'm gonna stay
Yes, I've been gone for a long time
Wonder if I'm welcome home
Been gone for a long time
Wonder if I'm welcome home
So many things can happen
When a man leaves his baby all alone
Yes, it took a long time, baby
To realise what a fool I've been
Well, I said it took a long, long time, baby
To realise what a fool I've been
When I knock on the door
I wonder will she let me in
|
| You Shouldn't Have Left | |
|
You shouldn't have left me, baby
Baby, you shouldn't have gone away
Oh, you shouldn't have left me, baby
Baby, you shouldn't have gone away
Oh, you left the one that love you, woman
Cryin' every night and every day
Someone that you love more, baby
Made you break my heart in two
Someone that you love more, baby
Made you break my heart in two
I want you to remember, baby
The same thing could happen to you
When the pain's in your heart, woman
Make you feel like you could die
Oh, when the pain's, the pain's in your heart, baby
Make you feel like you could die
Oh, you'll know then that you shouldn't have left me, woman
Baby, and how it feels to say goodbye
|
| Shake Yours | |
|
Hello baby, I'm so glad to be back
I got the blues for you, baby, that's a natural fact
Now since I'm back let's get into our act
I love you, baby, more than words can say
You know I've missed you while I was away
Now, since I'm back, baby, now it's time to play
Let's rock, roll, while I sing
For you my love I'll do anything
You got to shake your boogie
I'm gonna shake mine too
You're a sweet little angel
Got a whole lot of loving for you
Come on let's swing
Let's have a ball
If you shake it, you can make it
Let's dance
