"Don't Cry No More"

Don't cry no more
Wipe away your tears
Don't cry no more baby
Wipe away your tears
And I know I know
That your love is real

Don't cry don't cry
I'm begging you
Don't cry no more baby
I'm begging you
Every tear you shed
Tells me that your love is real

Hey hey

You cried me a river
Cried me a sea
And I believe without a doubt
That you really really really love me

You cried me a river
Cried me a sea
And I believe without a doubt

"Downright Women"

"Downright Women"

She bathes herself
In sweet perfume
She helps herself
To all the rouge she can muster
She's a flustered thing

Oh my my my my my my my
She's my baby
She's my baby yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah

She wears her rouge
Like a summer day
She wears her perfume
Oh what a way yeah
She's a flustered thing

Oh my my my my my my my
And she's my baby
She's my baby yeah yeah yeah

She wears her rouge
Like a summer day yeah
She wears her perfume
But it all goes away yeah
I feel sorry
She could go so far
In her weird desire

She's got everything
And what's in-between
She's my baby
She's my baby yeah yeah yeah
Ooohhh...mmmmmmmm

"Dry Spell"

"Dry Spell"

I've got dust on my shoes
Need my crankcase drained
I've got dust on my shoes
Need my crankcase drained
Its been a mean dry spell
But I think its gonna rain

Well the storm clouds roll in
My dogs pulling on his chain
Well the storm clouds roll in
My dogs pulling on his chain
Its been a long dry spell
But I think its gonna rain
Let it rain now… now

When I look at my field
Everything is cracked and flayed
I say I look at my field
Everything is cracked and flayed
And then I wonder to myself
How much can a poor man take

If your well runs dry
You might loose your sugarcane
Mmmm that good sweet cane babe
If your well runs dry
You might lose your sugarcane
Mmm hmmm

Its been a mean dry spell
But I think its gonna rain
Its been a mean dry spell
But I think its gonna rain
Its been a mean dry spell
But I think its gonna rain

"Early In The Morning"

"Early In The Morning"

When a girl reach the age of eighteen
She begin to think she's grown
And that's the kind of girl
You can't never find at home
Come see me early in the morning
Baby 'bout the break of day
You oughta saw me hug my pillow
Where my baby used to lay

One drink of wine two drinks of gin
Pretty young girl got me in the state I'm in
Come see me early in the morning
Baby 'bout the break of day
Lord you oughta saw me hug my pillow
Where my baby used to lay

Passed by the juke joint
Peeked through the door
She was doing the boogie woogie
In the middle of the floor
Come see me early in the morning
Baby 'bout the break of day
Lord you oughta saw me hug my pillow
Where my baby used to lay

Where my baby used to lay

"Easy Living"

"Easy Living"

Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There is nothing in life but you

I never regret the years that I'm giving
They're easy to give when you're in love
I'm happy to do
Whatever I do for you

For you maybe I'm a fool but it's fun
People say you rule me with one wave of your hand
Darling it's grand
They just don't understand

Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There's nothing in life but you

For you maybe I'm a fool but it's fun
People say you rule me with one wave of your hand
Darling it's grand
They just don't understand

Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There's nothing in life but you

"Educated Fool"

"Educated Fool"

Well, the blues went to town on the back of a mule
He looked around and went to school.
Well, it didn't take long and he turned back around
Said Lord, please save me from an educated clown.
Educated fool, educated fool,
Educated fool, educated fool.

So the blues left the country in a Cadillac,
Said I'm leavin' this town and I won't be back.
All this readin' and writin' and arithmatic
And all this learnin' 'bout to make me sick.
Educated fool, educated fool,
Educated fool, educated fool.

Well, the blues went up the river on the back of a fish
Said if I could I'd have one wish.
Don't want no silver, diamonds and jewels,
Said Lord, please me from an educated fool.
Educated fool, educated fool,
Educated fool, educated fool.

Well, the blues jumped a rabbit and run him a mile,
The rabbit sat down and he cried like a child.
The blues said son you got to learn one rule,
Don't place no trust in a educated fool.
Educated fool, educated fool,
Educated fool, educated fool.

"Fade Into Light"

"Fade Into Light"

I see your breath
Your words in frozen space tonight
I hear a distant bell and you appear
Like some ancient one I'd never really seen

There's a light falling from your hair
A photograph I thought I'd lost somewhere
You're all of this to me my dream
And a universe of you I've never seen

And now it seems
Not long ago
I was emptiness
And you arose
And as the day
Fades to night
May we ever love
Fade into light

I feel the stillness of your eyes
And shadows fall away
The promise of a spring is waiting there
Underneath it all
Underneath it all

The sky is crying heavens raining tears
The flood of sorrow runs a million years
But across this universe or just next to me
You are calling

And now it seems
Not long ago
I was emptiness
And you arose
And as the day
Fades to night
May we ever love
Fade into light

And as the day
Fades to night
May we ever love
Fade into light

"Finding Her"

"Finding Her"

Finding her there in my doorway I bid her
Come in and sit down here beside my bare wall
Alright then for a while and even a smile
Neath her dark eyes did slip 'cross a cheek to her lip
But try to be brief for I'm here on relief
I've but moments to stay
And my time I must watch
Alright then for a moment just tell me your name
And let me look into your young proud eyes
My eyes are but your sins
My glory your wine
My visions your footsteps
Dear boy and I fled

"Flames Of Love"

"Flames Of Love"

I've tried to run I've tried to hide
It just don't do no good
Nights grow long and love grows strong
I'd leave you if I could
Can't believe this power of love
This hold you've got on me
It's been so strong it seems so long
It just won't let me be

Help me love my hearts a burning
Tell me why I keep returning
Set me up and turn me around
Flames of love keep burning me down

Put me off put me down
I won't die away
Love that's hotter than the sun
You know I'm here to stay
Do me right do me wrong
You're about to do me in
The way you move's a doggone crime
The way you loves a sin

Help me love my hearts a burning
Tell me why I keep returning
Set me up set me down
These flames of love are turning me around

My tongue gets tied my eyes go blind
The truth is plain to see
I'm hooked my friend it's near the end
And you won't let me be
I can't eat I can't sleep
You've got me in your spell
If this goes on I won't last long
Darling you know darn well

Help me love my hearts a burning
Tell me why I keep returning
I've tried to run I've tried to hide
It just don't do no good
The nights grow longer love grows stronger
I'd leave you if I could

Can't believe the power of love
This hold you've got on me
It's been so strong it seems so long
You just won't let me be

Do me right do me wrong
You're about to do me in

"Fly Like A Bird"

"Fly Like A Bird"

There was a howl that night
A howling like they'd never heard before
A cry so loud old granddad almost hit the door
He said
"I love this child
As much as any one that she ever bore
But I thank the Lord we won't be having any more"

Then the baby heard
The sweetest sound he'd ever heard
In tones so beautiful
He hung on every word
She sang
"Hush my love
Granny's little dove is gonna take to the sky"
It was on such a night he learned to fly like a bird

Now the years have passed
And memories come and go
He hears that voice
That rocked him gently so
A calm will descend
And there's peace at the end
Of the darkest night
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I fly like a bird

Now the years have passed
And memories come and go
He hears that voice
That rocked him gently so
Well the rains gonna fall
And the winds may blow
On the darkest night
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I fly like a bird

A calm will descend
And there's peace at the end
Of the darkest night
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I fly like a bird
