"Take It Home"

"Take It Home"


Way down South there's a clear stream running
In the night I feel my heart turning
I'm feeling some day I'd like to come
Back to the place I started from
Take it home
Country night with the stars above me
Way down there with the ones who love me
Mother, Sister, Father, Son
They mean more than anyone
Take it home
Fall winds blow and the red leaves falling
Don't know there's a voice keeps calling
Saying, you have found your song
You've been gone so long
Take it home
Seems my life is a long road winding
Gone so far but the ties are binding
I'll pack up my bags and fly away
To a far better day
Take it home
Don't know why I was made to wander
I've seen the light, lord I've felt the thunder
Someday I'll go home again
And I know they'll take me in
Take it home

"Take Off Your Shoes"

"Take Off Your Shoes"


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
Oh, yeah

"Teardrops From My Eyes"

"Teardrops From My Eyes"


Come back to me, baby
I feel so all alone
It rained last night
And things ain't right
Without my baby home
Every time it rains
I think of you
And that's the time
I feel so blue
When the rain starts falling
My love comes tumbling down
And it's raining
Teardrops from my eyes
If you see clouds
Here in my eyes
It's just because
You said good-bye
Although the sun is shining
There's no more summer skies
'Cause it's raining
Teardrops from my eyes
Remember the night you told me
Our love would always be
I wouldn't be blue and lonely
If you'd come back to me
Every single cloud
Would disappear
I'd wear a smile
If you were here
So baby, won't you hurry
Because I miss you so
And it's raining
Teardrops from my eyes
Remember the night you told me
Our love would always be
I wouldn't be blue and lonely
If you'd come back to me
Every single cloud
Would disappear
I'd wear a smile
If you were here
So baby, won't you hurry
Because I miss you so
And it's raining
Teardrops from my eyes

"Telephone Song"

"Telephone Song"


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
Gonna drive me out of my mind

"That Ain't The Way To Do It"

"That Ain't The Way To Do It"


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
That ain't the way to get along

"That Evil Child"

"That Evil Child"


Whenever I try to hold my baby,
She just stand there for a while
No matter how I try to please that woman,
She won't even crack a smile
Lord, maybe you in heaven can help me,
'cause this is one evil child
Oh, I say maybe, maybe somebody can help me,
Because this is one evil child
When I buy her flowers or candy she just looks at me and growls,
She say, "You must be guilty or have a guilty conscience buddy",
Because I'm convicted without a trial
She just grunts when I call baby, hmm one evil child
I said, "Lord, maybe you can help me, because she's a strange and evil child"
Still, I'm tryin' to please my woman but she 'bout to drive me wild
I buy her hundred dollar dresses, people,
Still she complains about the style
Won't somebody give me a suggestion?
Help me with this evil child
Oh, maybe the Lord in heaven above can help me

"That's How Much You Mean To Me"

"That's How Much You Mean To 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
'Cos that's how much you mean to me
