"Loose Talk"

"Loose Talk"



So long we've been married last burden we've carried
Though fate kept us humble and made our love true
But plans that we'd make up someone seems to break up
Oh darling what else can we do
We may have to leave here to find piece of mind dear
Some place where we can live a life of our own
Oh I know you love me and happy we could be if some folks would leave us alone

When I go out walking there's lots of loose talking
They say we're unhappy and we'll break apart
But darling it's not true because I still love you and I do it all with my heart
We may have to leave here...

They say you are leaving that you are deceiving
But you tell me they say the same about me
But we'll show them there on that loose talk and do harm
And hope that's the truth they will see
We may have to leave here...

"Louisiana Man"

"Louisiana Man"


At first mom and papa called little boy Ned
They raised him on the banks of the river bed
A houseboat tied to a big tall tree
A home for my mama and my papa and me.

The clock strikes three, papa jumps to his feet
Already mama's cookin' papa somethin' to eat
At half past, papa he's ready to go
He hops in his piro, headed down the bayou.

They got fishin' lines strung across the Louisiana River
Gonna catch a big fish for us to eat
They're settin' traps in the swamp catchin' everythin' he can
Gonna make a livin' he's a Louisiana man.
Gonna make a livin' he's a Louisiana man.

Muskart hides a hangin' by the dozen
Even got a lady make a muskart's cousin
Pile of hide dryin' in the hot, hot sun
Tomorrow papa's gonna turn them into mon.

[Instrumental]

They call my mama Rita and my daddy Jack
A little baby brother on the floor that's Mac
Rynn and Lynn are the family twins
Big brother Ed's on the bayou fishin'.

On the river floats papa's great big boat
That's how my papa goes into town
Makes every bit of the night and the day
Then ever reach the place where the people stay.

I can hardly wait until tomorrow comes around
That's the day my papa takes his fures to town
Papa promised me that I could go
Even gonna see a cowboy show.

I see the cowboys and Indians for the first time then
Told my pappy, gotta go again
Papa said, son we got the lines to run
We'll come back again that there's work to be done.

And they got fishin' lines strung across the Louisiana River
Gonna catch a big fish for us to eat
They're settin' traps in the swamp catchin' everythin' he can
Gonna make a livin' he's a Louisiana man.
Gonna make a livin' he's a Louisiana man.
Gonna make a livin' he's a Louisiana man.
Gonna make a livin' he's a Louisiana man...

"Love Is Me"

"Love Is Me"


I'm gonna kiss you
Like you ain't never been kissed before
I'm gonna squeeze you and tease you
And leave you a beggin' for more.

I'm gonna love you and leave you
Dry in the southern heat
For the name of the game is love
And the love is me.

You gonna know for sure
That you met your Waterloo
You gonna think that a full grown tiger's
Got a hold on you.

Well, when I get through
You gonna wish you'd let me be
For the name of the game is love
And the love is me.

[Instrumental]

You been a walkin' around with
Your head up in the air
You been a lookin' at me
Like less you couldn't care.

But I'm a gonna change all of that
Just wait and see
For the name of the game is love
And the love is me.

You gonna know for sure
That you met your Waterloo
You gonna think that a full grown tiger's
Got a hold on you.

Well, when I get through
You gonna wish you'd let me be
For the name of the game is love
And the love is me.

Yeah, the name of the game is love
And the love is me...

"Love Makes The World Go Around"

"Love Makes The World Go Around"


Love makes the world go around
Love makes the world go around
Sometimes up (and sometimes down)
But love makes the world go around.

When it comes right down to it you just gotta go do it
'Cause love is a thing that just won't wait
Sometimes it can spite ya or just right up and bite ya
And sometimes go up right in your face

Love makes the world go around
Love makes the world go around
Sometimes up (and sometimes down)
But love makes the world go around.

[Instrumental]

(The first time that you feel it your first thought is to steal it
And run under a rock somewhere and hide
But once that you've been smitten you can't keep it hidden
Or it just might teach you a polite.)

Love makes the world go around
Love makes the world go around
Sometimes up (and sometimes down)
But love makes the world go around.

Sometimes up and sometimes down
But love makes the world go around...

"Love Minus Zero No Limit"

"Love Minus Zero No Limit"



My love speaks like silence
Without ideals or violence
She doesn't have to say she's faithful
Yet she's true like ice like fire
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love laughs like the flower
Valentines can't buy her

In the dimestores and the stations
People talk of situations
Read books, repeat questions
Draw conclusions on the wall
Some speak of the future
My love she speaks softly
She knows there's no success like failure
And that failure's no success at all

Oh, the cloak and dagger dangles
Madams light the candles
In ceremonies of the horsemen
Even pawns must hold a grudge
Wind howls like a hammer
Night blows cold and rainy
My love she's like the raven
At my window with a broken wing... mhm

"Love's Gonna Live Here"

"Love's Gonna Live Here"



Oh the sun's gonna shine, in my life once more
Love's gonna live here again
Things are gonna be the way they, were before
Love's gonna live here again

Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here again
No more loneliness, only happiness
Love's gonna live here again

I hear bells a-ringin', I hear birds a-singin'
Love's gonna live here again
I hear bee's a-hummin, and I know the days' a-comin'
Love's gonna live here again

Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here again
No more loneliness, only happiness
Love's gonna live here again
Love's gonna live here again

"Lyin' Again"

"Lyin' Again"


She's out there somewhere
I don't really care
I'm proud to say that we had
Just a casual affair.

We drifted together
Then drifted apart
And I crossed her name
From my heart.

But, I'm lying again, yes, lying again
One kiss from her could start me crying again
If you could see behind this game of pretend
You'd see my heart crying, I'd be lying again.

[Instrumental]

If she ever phones
Please say that I am not home
Just tell her I'm busy
And to leave me alone

I hope she's happy
For I plan to be
A she's
Just a memory to me

But, I'm lying again, yes, lying again
One kiss from her could start me crying again
If you could see behind this game of pretend
You'd see my heart crying, I'd be lying again...

"Made In Japan"

"Made In Japan"



My transistor radio comes from far away
And when it's night over here over there it's a breakin day
I remember all the good times I had a walkin in the sand
With the beautiful girl that I met made in Japan

The beauty of her face was beyond my wildest dreams
Like cherry blossoms blooming in the mountain in the early spring
As we walked by the river and she softly took hold of my hand
Thats when I fell deep in love with the girl made in Japan

In the dark of night we would lay on Tokyo Bay
And the singin of the birds woke us up at the break of day
Her smiling eyes always seemed to try to understand
All the love in my heart for the girl made in Japan

My transistor radio comes from far away
And when it's night over here over there it's a breakin day
She cried when she said she'd been promised to another man
Thats when I left my heart with the girl made in Japan
Yes my heart will always be with the girl made in Japan.

"Maybe If I Close My Eyes"
(feat. Susan Raye)

"Maybe If I Close My Eyes"
(feat. Susan Raye)



Maybe if I close my eyes it will go away
If I pretend there never was a thing tween you and me
For I can't sleep and I can't eat it haunts me night and day
But maybe if I close my eyes it will go away.

You say you're a fascination that I will soon forget
That it won't be long and I'll forget you ever did exist
But when I love I really love yes I'll go all the way
Maybe if I close my eyes it will go away.

You say that I must accept the truth that you're not coming back
Be reasonable at my age and faithful to the fact
But when I love I really love yes I'll go all the way
But maybe if I close my eyes it will go away...

"Memphis, Tennessee"

"Memphis, Tennessee"



Long distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find the party, try to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
'Cause my uncle took the message, and he wrote it on the wall

Help me, operator, get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd call me here from Memphis, Tennessee
Her home is on the southside, high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge

The last time I saw Marie, she was a waving me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes
We were torn apart because her mom would not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee

Help me, operator, more than this I cannot add
Only that I miss her so and all the fun we had
Marie is only six years old, information, please
Help to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
