"Going Down Slow"

"Going Down Slow"


I have had my fun if I never get well no more.
I have had my fun if I never get well no more.

All of my health is failing;
Lord, I'm going down slow,
I'm going down slow.

Please write my mother and tell her the shape I'm in.
Please write my mother and tell her the shape I'm in.

Tell her to pray for me,
Forgive me for my sin,
For all of my sin.

On the next train south, look for my clothes back home.
On the next train south, look for my clothes back home.

'Cause all of my health is failing;
Lord, I'm going down slow,
I'm going down slow.

All of my health is failing;
Lord, I'm going down slow,
I'm going down slow.

Feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow.
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow.
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow.
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow.
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow.

"Going Left"

"Going Left"


[Chorus:]
(Well) I'm goin' left
'Til you lead me to the right
Lead me to what is right
I'm goin' left
'Til you lead me to the right
Lead me to what is right

There's a train people say
I could ride to get my whole life straight
But the bridge on the way
Has a toll too much for me to pay
Yes I know it must be
What I chose could mean my destiny
Lights are green all is go
But my heart keeps telling my mind no

[Chorus]

There's a plane over there
Where all are given even share
What you get is so small
It's like never having nothing at all
Take my hand says a friend
A will stick with you until the end
But I'm in doubt I must decline
'Cause even friends can change their lines

[Chorus]

"Golden Ring"

"Golden Ring"


[Chorus:]
He gave to you a golden ring;
It made you happy, it made you sing.
And I played for you on my guitar;
It didn't last long, we didn't go far.

And though the times have changed,
We're rearranged.
Will the ties that bind remain the same?

You came around after a while;
Everyone said that I made you smile.
It all went well, and suddenly then
You heard that he would marry again.

[Chorus]

Well I know that I have been here before;
I've trod on your wings, I've opened the door.
If I gave to you a golden ring
Would I make you happy, would I make you sing?

[Chorus 2x]

"Good Morning Little Schoolgirl"

"Good Morning Little Schoolgirl"


Good morning, little schoolgirl.
Good morning, little schoolgirl.
Can I go home with you?
Won't you let me go home with you,
So I can hug, hug, squeeze, squeeze?
If you let me I can tease you baby.
Hey, hey hey hey. Hey hey hey hey. Hey, yeah.

Let's dance, little schoolgirl.
Let's dance, little schoolgirl.
Won't you let me take you to the hop, hop,
Have a party at the soda shop
So we can do the twist, do the stroll
To the music of the rock 'n' roll.
Hey, hey hey hey. Hey hey hey hey. Hey, yeah.

[Repeat First Verse]

Good morning, little schoolgirl.
Good morning, little schoolgirl.
Can I go home with you?
Won't you let me go home with you?
Tell your mama and your papa that I love you.
Tell your sisters and your brother that I love you.
Hey, hey hey hey. Hey, hey hey hey.
Hey, hey hey hey. Hey, hey hey hey.

"Goodnight Irene"

"Goodnight Irene"


Last Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife are parted
Gonna take a little stroll downtown

Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene
I´ll see you in my dreams

Stop ramblin´, stop your gamblin´
Stop stayin´out late at night
Come home to your wife and your family
And sit by the fire so bright
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene
I´ll see you in my dreams

I love Irene, God knows I do
Love her ´til the rivers run dry
If irene should ever turn her back on me
Gonna take morphine and die

Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene
I´ll see you in my dreams
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene
I´ll see you in my dreams
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

"Got To Get Better In A Little While"

"Got To Get Better In A Little While"


Don't you know what's wrong with me?
I'm seeing things I don't want to see.
Sniffing things that ain't no good for me.
I'm going down fast, won't you say a prayer for me?

[Chorus:]
It's got to get better in a little while.
It's got to get better in a little while.
It's got to get better in a little while.
It's got to get better in a little while.

The sun's got to shine on my guitar someday.

Revolution all across the land.
Just like Sly, you got to take a stand.
Please don't hurt nobody, don't knock them down;
Give them a helping hand to get off the ground.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

Still one thing that you can do;
Fall down on your knees and pray.
I know the Lord's gonna answer you.
Don't do it tomorrow, do it today.

[Chorus]

"Got You On My Mind"

"Got You On My Mind"


I've got you on my mind, I'm feeling kind of sad and low.
Got you on my mind, feeling kind of sad and low.
I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go.

[Chorus:]
Tears begin to fall every time I hear your name.
Tears begin to fall every time I hear your name.
But since you went away, nothing seems to be the same.

No matter how I try,
My heart just don't see why
I can't forget you.
If ever it should be
You want to come back to me,
You know I'd let you.

[Repeat First Verse]

[Chorus]

[Repeat First Verse]

I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go.
I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go.

"Gotta Get Over"
(feat. Chaka Khan)

"Gotta Get Over"
(feat. Chaka Khan)



Can you feel a wind blowing, got me talking to myself
One more day, one more truth, got to find out where
Feel the blow of the river taking me there
Good Lord only get you so far, then you got to help yourself
I don’t need no reason, reason to hang my head

Cause I gotta get over
Get on over to the good side
Lord I gotta get over
Get over, you get a lil' closer
I gotta get over
Getting closer to the good side
Gotta get over
Getting over, over

I've been breaking like the waves upon the sand
You know I need some fortitude, gonna keep it close at hand
And I gotta shake it if I’m gonna break it on down the line
Ain't nobody can help me if I stay helpless all the time

I gotta get over
Get on over to the good side
Gotta get over
Help me get a little closer
I gotta get over
Getting closer to the good side
Lord I gotta get over,
Getting over, over.

"Grand Illusion"

"Grand Illusion"


I saw you in a dream, it hit me like a bright light
Flashing on a screen, visions of my whole life.
I used to chase the moment of desire
Back to when my young heart burned like a fire.

It was just a, nothing but a grand illusion.
Heart was quicker than the eye.
Nothing but a grand illusion,
Legend in my own mind.

I held you in my arms till the other side of midnight.
Kept you in my mind, you got me through some long nights.
Standing on the threshold of desire,
Caught between the madness and the fire.

[Repeat First Chorus]

It was all a grand illusion.
Hand was quicker than the eye.
Nothing but a grand illusion,
Legends in our own minds.

I used to chase the moments of desire
Back to when my young heart burned like a fire.

It was just a, nothing but a, it was all a grand illusion.
Nothing but a grand illusion.
It was all a grand illusion,
Legend in my own mind.

It was just a grand illusion.
Nothing but a grand illusion.
It was just a grand illusion,
Legend in our own mind.

"Groaning The Blues"

"Groaning The Blues"


I'm so tired of moaning,
Trying to groan away my blues.
I'm so tired of moaning,
Trying to groan away my blues.
I keep weeping and crying
Every time I think of you.

I would rather die of starvation,
Perish out in the desert sun,
I would rather die of starvation,
Perish out in the desert sun,
Than to think of some other man
Holding you in his arms.

My heart gets so heavy
Lord I shakes down in my bones.
My heart gets so heavy,
Lord I shakes down in my bones.
I can't hurt a murderer,
Oh Lord, but I'm forced to weep and moan.
