"(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay"

"(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay"


Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothin's gonna come my way

So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home

Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

[Whistle]

"A Change Is Gonna Come"
(originally by Sam Cooke)

"A Change Is Gonna Come"
(originally by Sam Cooke)



I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been running ever since

It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will

It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know
What's up there beyond the sky

It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will

When I go to my brother, my brother, my brother
And I say, "Brother, help me please"
But he winds up knockin' me
Right down on my, on the knees

And there been times that I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now I think
I'm able to carry on

It's been a long
A long, long time coming
Well, I know, I know change gonna come
Oh, yes it will

It's been a long
It's been a long, long time coming
Well, I know, I know, I know change gonna come
Oh, yes it will

"A Hard Nut To Crack"

"A Hard Nut To Crack"



I play the game of the modern romeo but never in my life did I see
A woman as square as a pool table and twice as green
I gave you all of my money and all of my loving too
But now you're goin' around just a telling everybody that I made a fool of you
Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don't know
I ask the man from up above, help me to save your love
I want you
You're a hard nut to crack
You take a strong man and break his back
I don't know but I've been told, next to you my life's been cold
You're a demon, girl, you know you're outta sight

Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don't know
Ask the man from up above, help me to save your love
I want you

Know the guy you're giving my money
And you come home and call me honey
You look like you made a resolution, took my best friend john and put him in an institution
You're a demon, girl you know you're outta sight

Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don't know
I ask the man from up above to help me to save your love
I want you

You're a hard nut to crack

"Ain't No Sunshine"
(originally by Bill Withers)

"Ain't No Sunshine"
(originally by Bill Withers)



Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
She's always gone too long anytime she goes away

And I know

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
She's always gone too long anytime she goes away

I wonder this time where she's gone?
I wonder if she's gone to stay?
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away

And I know

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
She's always gone too long anytime she goes away

Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And everybody knows this house just ain't no home

"Ain't No Way"

"Ain't No Way"



Ain't no way for me to love you if you won't let me
It ain't no way for me to give you all you need
If you won't let me give all of me

I know that a mans duty is to have and love a woman
And that's the way it was planned
Oh but how can I, how can I, how can I give you all the things I can
If you're tying both of my hands

It ain't no way, it ain't no way, just ain't no way, ain't no way baby

It ain't no way for me to love you if you won't let me

Stop trying to be someone you're not
The hard cold truth is, woman, you paid too much for what you got
And if you need me, baby, say, say you do,
Baby, I, baby, baby, don't you know that I need you

It ain't no way
I tell you that it ain't no way, it ain't no way, it ain't no way baby, baby, baby, baby
Just ain't no way, sure ain't no way
It ain't no way for me to love you if you won't let me

"Ain't That Peculiar"

"Ain't That Peculiar"



You do me wrong
But I'm still crazy about you
Stay away too long
And I can't do without you

Every chance you get
You seem to just hurt me more and more

But each hurt just makes my love go stronger
Stronger than before

I know flowers grow from rain
But how can love grow from pain

Ain't that peculiar, baby?
Peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar, baby?
Peculiar as it can be

You tell me lies
It should be obvious to me
But I'm so much in love with you, baby
That I don't want to see

That the things you do and say
Are designed to make me blue
But it's a doggone shame my love for you
Makes all your lies seem true

But if the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make my love stronger?

Ain't that peculiar, baby?
Peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar, baby?
Peculiar as it can be

I cried so much just as like a child
That's lost it's toy
Baby, baby, you think these tears I cry
Are tears of joy

A child can cry so much
And then you do everything they say
No, no, no, like a child my tears don't help me
To get my way

I know love can last through years
But how can love last through tears?

Ain't that peculiar, baby?
Peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar, baby?
Peculiar as it can be

I don't understand
Why you made me cry so much?
I don't understand
Why you lie so much?

And made me cry tears of pain
You made me cry for all that rain
I don't understand
Don't understand sometimes

Ain't that peculiar, baby?
Ain't that peculiar, baby?
Peculiar as it can be

Ain't that peculiar?
Peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar, baby?

"All These Things"

"All These Things"



The touch of your lips next to mine
Gets me excited and makes me feel fine
The touch of your hand and your sweet hello
Oh, the fire inside you when you're holding me close

Your love so warm and tender
Oh, the thrill is so divine
It is all these things that make you mine
Make you mine

If you would leave
Lord, I surely, I surely would die
When you were ten minutes late
I started to cry

Oh, I've got it bad but it's all right
Oh, as long as you're here
Every, oh, every, every, every night
Your love, your love, your love, your love
So warm and tender, oh, and I know the thrill
I know the thrill is so divine
It is all these things that make you mine

All that makes you mine
All that makes you mine
Never, never, never leave me
Oh, you'll always be mine

"Amazing Grace"

"Amazing Grace"



Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once, I once was lost, oh, now am found
I was blind, oh, but now I see

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have, I have already, already come
T'was grace that brought me safe this far
And grace shall lead me home

Our world shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, who called me here, here below
Will be forever mine

 

[fox69]

"Amen"

"Amen"



Amen

Sleeping little baby
Wrapped in a manger
On Christmas morning
Singing in the temple
Talking with the elders
Tomorrow there's wisdom
Down at the Jordan
John was babtizing
And saving all the sinners
Singing at the seaside
Talking with the fishermen
He made them deciples
Saving all sinners
Keep on pushing now
Tomorrow there's wisdom
