WHEN LOVE COMES TO TOWN
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was a sailor, I was lost in sea
I was under the waves, before love rescued me
I was a fighter I could turn on a threat
Now I stand accused of the things I've said.
When love comes to town,
I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town,
I'm gonna catch that flame.
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down,
But I did what I did before love came to town.
Used to make love under a red sunset,
I was making promises I was soon to forget.
She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown,
But I left her standing before love came to town.
Ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream,
The notes were turning blue when I fell into a dream
As the music played I saw my life turn around
That was the day before love came to town.
Love comes to town,
I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town,
I'm gonna catch that flame.
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down,
But I did what I did before love came to town.
I was there when they crucified my lord
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
I threw the dice when they pierced his side,
But I've seen love conquer the great divide
SWEET SIXTEEN
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
Oh, I wonder what in the world's gonna happen to me
THE THRILL IS GONE
(Ver letra en "Completely Well (1969)")
AIN'T NOBODY'S BIZNESS
If I attend church all day Sunday, come back home and raise
(spoken) I think I feel hur or shall I go a little further, do a little more?
Ain't nobody's bizness what I do
If one day I have ham and bacon, and the next day, ain't nothin' shakin'
No it ain't nobody's bizness what I do
Ain't Nobody's Bizness from earlies 60's
If me and my baby fuss and fight
Well, and the next minute we're all right
It ain't nobody's bizness what I do
If one day we have ham and bacon
And the next day ain't nothing shakin'
I tell you it ain't nobody's bizness what I do
Oh, I'm three, three times seven
Oh, that makes twenty-one
Ah, that ain't nobody's bizness what I do
Oh, if I attend church all day Sunday
And cabaret all day Monday
It ain't nobody's bizness what I do
If I stay out all night
Spending my money I tell you that's all right
Because it ain't nobody's bizness what I do
It ain't nobody's bizness what I do
PAYING THE COST TO BE THE BOSS
You act like you don't want to listen
When I'm talking to you
You think you outta do baby
Anything you wanna do
You must be crazy baby
You just gotta be outta your mind
As long as I'm payin' the bills woman
I'm payin' the cost to be the boss
I'll drink if I want to
And play a little poker too
Don't you say nothing to me
As long as I'm taking care of you
As long as I'm workin baby
And payin' all the bills
I don't want no mouth from you
About the way I'm supposed to live
You must be crazy woman
Just gotta be outta your mind
As long as I foot the bills
I'm payin' the cost to be the boss
Now that you got me
You act like you ashamed
You don't act like my woman
You just usin' my name
I tell you I'm gonna have all the money
And I don't want no back-talk
Cause if you don't like the way I'm doin'
Just pick up your things and walk
You gotta be crazy baby
You must be outta your mind
As long as I'm payin' the bills woman
I'm payin' the cost to be the boss
ALL OVER AGAIN
I've got a good mind to give up living, and go shopping instead
I say, I've got a good mind to give up living, and go shopping instead
To pick up me a tombstone, and be pronounced dead
When I read your letter this morning, that was in your place in bed
I read your letter this morning, that was in your place in bed
That's when I decided, that I would be better off dead
It read, there is no use you looking, or ever hoping to get me back
Oh, there's no use you looking, or ever hoping to get me back
Yes, because it's all over now, and you can bet on that
NIGHT LIFE
(Ver letra en "Blues Is King (1967)")
SINCE I MET YOU BABY
Since I met you baby
My whole life has changed
Since I met you baby
My whole life has changed
And everybody tells me
That I'm not the same
I don't need nobody
To tell my troubles to
I don't need nobody
To tell my troubles to
'Cause since I met you baby
All I need is you
Since I met you baby
I'm a happy man
Since I met you baby
I'm a happy man
I'm gonna try to please you
In every way I can
Since I met you baby
I'm a happy man
Since I met you baby
I'm a happy man
For since I met you baby
All I need is you
All I need is you
GUESS WHO?
Someone really loves you
Guess who
Someone really cares
Guess who
S'open your heart,
oh, then surely you'll see,
oh, that the someone who really cares is me
Someone will wait eternally
Someone who'll want your love,
oh so desp'rately
Open your heart,
oh, then surely you'll see,
oh, that the someone who really cares,
who really cares is me
PEACE TO THE WORLD
Raise up your hands
And put a smile on your face

We're proud and strong
So stand up tall

Beginning right here
So jump on to it
And have no fear

And bring peace to the world
Let's all get together
