"Night Life/please Send Me Someone To Love"

"Night Life/please Send Me Someone To Love"


When the evening, the evening sun goes down
You gonna find me somewhere hanging around
The night life, people, it ain't no good life
But it's my life, yeah

All the people just like you and me
Everybody's dreaming
Dreaming about their old used to be
The night life, hey, it ain't no good life, people
Oh but it's my life

Yes listen to the blues, people
Listen to what they're saying
Yes listen to the blues, people
Listen to the way they're playing

Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
If it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love, someone to love

Show the world, show them how to get along
Peace will enter when hate is gone
If it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Please send me someone to love

Nights I lay awake and ponder world's troubles
And my answer is always the same
Unless man put an end to this damnable sin
Hate will put the world in a flame, what a shame

Just because I'm, because I'm in misery
Oh I don't beg, I don't beg for no sympathy
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love, yeah

Oh the night life, people it ain't no good life
But it's my life, yeah
So please, please, please, please, please, please
Please send me someone to love
Someone to love

"No Good"

"No Good"


Your letter I read early this morning baby
and I read every word you had to say
Your letter I read early this morning baby
And I read every word you had to say
But if you love me like you say you do baby
I wanna know what in the world did you go away?

Your letter said that you're doing ok baby
But then I read: "Please, let me come back home."
Your letter read that you're doing ok now baby
And then you said: "Please, let me come back home"
You said you were so tired, so tired baby
And you would have someone you could call your own

Yes, my memory don't me fail on me baby
You know I'll remember the day you left
Yeah, my memory don't fail on me baby
You know I'll remember the day you left
You know you said baby: "I believe you now baby."
That you were grown and you've been taking care yourself

Oh, and here is my answer to you letter baby
And the words come straight from my heart
Oh, here is the answer to you letter baby
And the words come straight from my heart
Yes, I loved you then I can still love you now baby
But I'm afraid to play the bar

"No Money, No Luck"

"No Money, No Luck"


Well, my bad luck is falling
Falling down like rain
Bad luck is falling
Falling down like rain
No matter what I do
Seems like my luck won't never change

I felt kinda lucky
My luck was running slow
The last hand I caught four aces
And the police broke down the door
I said, Lord
Lord, what can a poor boy do?
Well, ain't it bad when you can't make no money
Seems like all the bad breaks will come to you

Yeah, I got home this morning
She was looking kinda funny
She said "Don't come in, daddy
Daddy, unless you got some money"
And I said, Lord
Lord, what can a poor boy do?
Well, ain't it tough when you can't make no money
Without your woman turning her back on you

Well now, I asked my woman for some dinner
She looked at me like a fool
She said, "I'm playing checkers, daddy
And I think it's your turn to move"
I said, oh
Lord, what can a poor boy do?
Yes, it's bad when you can't make no money
And your woman turns her back on you

"Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out"

"Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out"


I once lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money I didn't care
Always taking my friends out for a good time
Buying champagne, gin and wine
But just as soon as my dough got low
I couldn't find a friend, no place I go
If I ever get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna squeeze it, and squeeze it
Till the eagle grins

Nobody knows you when you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And your friends, you haven't any
And as soon as you get on your feet again
Everybody is your long lost friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt, but
Nobody wants you when you're down and out

You know folks, I once had a mansion
Way up on the side of a hill
I'd give champagne and caviar parties
Just for fun and get a thrill
But you know things they just can't stay like that forever
And now I can't muscle up enough money
To buy a shot of gin

But you know, if I ever get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna squeeze it, and squeeze it till the eagle grins
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you
Nobody needs you
Nobody wants you when you're down and out

Nobody loves me, but my mother,
And she could me jivin' too.
Nobody loves me, but my mother,
And she could me jivin' too.
Now you see why I act so funny, baby,
When you do the things you do.

"Ole Time Religion"

"Ole Time Religion"


Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It is good enough for me
It was good for my old mother
It was good for my old mother
It was good for my old mother
And it's good enough for me
It was good for the hebrew children
It was good for the hebrew children
It was good for the hebrew children
And it's good enough for me
It was good for Paul and Silas
It was good for Paul and Silas
It was good for Paul and Silas
And it's good enough for me
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It is good enough for me
It was good for my old father
It was good for my old father
It was good for my old father
And it's good enough for me
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It is good enough for me
It was good for the hebrew children
It was good for the hebrew children
It was good for the hebrew children
And it's good enough for me
I want that old time religion
I want that old time religion
I want that old time religion
It is good enough for me

"On My Word Of Honor"

"On My Word Of Honor"


On my word of honor
All my love belongs to you
Please put your faith in me
You see how true I'll be
On my word of honor
You can trust me with your heart
And I pledge mine to you
It's yours my whole life through
Baby, lips never kiss you
Again if they're telling you a lie
And forever, ever, ever, ever and ever
I cross my heart and hope to die
On my word of honor
You mean everything to me
I swear by stars above
I'll keep my word, my love
Baby, lips never kiss you
Again if they're telling you a lie
And forever, ever, ever, ever and ever
I cross my heart and hope to die
On my word of honor
You mean everything to me
I swear by stars above
I'll keep my word, my love

"On The Way"

"On The Way"


Well you know I'll always love you
But it would have been a lie
If I said that I could please you
Every moment that I try

Wouldn't want to see you crying
So I hope you don't mind the things I say
On the way

Well we've been travelling for a long time
And we finally finished here
Though I said some things to hurt you
Well, it was only out of fear

Wouldn't want to see you crying
So I hope you don't mind the things I say
On the way

Well you know I’ll always love you
Everything will be alright
If I know you don't mind the things I say
On the way

Well, I know you don't mind the things I say
On the way

Well you know I’ll always love you
Everything will be ok
If I know you don't mind the things I say
On the way

"One Of Those Nights"

"One Of Those Nights"


Come here, baby
Let me wrap you around my fingers
I want you so much
And love's just a touch away
So touch me, baby
And you'll feel a man on fire
Just hold on to me
'Cause it's gonna be one of those nights

Oh one of those nights
When love has us right in its hands
Oh here in the dark
What you do to my heart
Woman, your wonder don't end
And it's one of those nights
One of those nights again

Darling, I know
I know this ain't no time for talking
But you know I've just got to tell you
I just have to tell you
How I feel right now
And I wanna say, baby, you're something
And I'm wrapped around your finger
I want you again
'Cause I'm so far into one of those nights

Oh one of those nights
When love has us right in its hands
Oh here in the dark
What you do to my heart
Woman, your wonder don't end
And it's one of those nights
One of those nights again
