"Sunday In Savannah"

"Sunday In Savannah"

One more
Sunday in Savannah
Hear the whole creation shoutin'
Praise the Lord
See them flinging out the banner
While the congregation says amen

Young folk
Tendin' Sunday School
They sing merrilly 'bout the golden rule
Horse sense preaching all the day
They all hollar in the righteous way

It's time for me to call on Mother Hannah
While she sits there wishing for her last reward
One more Sunday in Savannah
One more Sunday in Atlanta
It's the same thing
Same feeling

Don't ya dare
Go fishin' son
Amen

"Suzanne"

"Suzanne"

Suzanne takes you down to her place BY (near) the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night FOREVER (beside her)
And you know that she's half crazy
AND (But) that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
(then) She gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.

NOW (And) Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
'CAUSE (And) you think maybe you('ll) CAN trust him
'CAUSE (For) he's touched your perfect body with his mind.

Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
BETWEEN (Among) the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning, LEANING out for love
And they will lean that way forever

"Take Care Of Business"

"Take Care Of Business"

Don't talk just hold me closer
Let me sit on top of your knee
Go ahead and take care of business
For me for me for me

Oh Lord, don't keep me waiting
Be as firm as can be
Go ahead and take care of business
For me for me for me

In all my life no-one has touched me so close
Nor made me feel so sweet
I said to you you are God's gift to all womanhood
Take it from me take it from me

You know you know that I love you truly
And I want the whole round world to see
How you can take care of business
For me for me for me

Go take care of business for me
Yeah yeah go take care of business for me

"Take Me To The Water"

"Take Me To The Water"

Take me to the water
Take me to the water
Take me to the water
To be baptized

None but the righteous
None but the righteous
None but the righteous
Shall be saved

So take me to the water
Take me to the water
Take me to the water
To be, to be baptized

I'm going back home, going back home
Gonna stay here no longer
I'm going back home, going back home
To be baptized

"Take My Hand Precious Lord"

"Take My Hand Precious Lord"

Precious Lord, Take my hand,
Lead me on, let me stand,
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn.
Through the storm, Through the night,
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, Lead me home.

When my way grows drear precious Lord linger near
When my light is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call
Hold my hand lest I fall
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

When the darkness appears and the night draws near
And the day is past and gone
At the river I stand
Guide my feet, hold my hand
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I'm tired, I'm weak, I'm lone
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

"Tell Me More And More And Then Some"

"Tell Me More And More And Then Some"

Tell me more and then some
Daddy you know what I wanna hear
I want some more and then some of that
I love you only dear

I want some more and then some
Oh how you feel
And then when you done told me
About a million times
How much you love me
And you're through
Start right back again

I've made the same mistake
I know the awful ache
Of a little heart that's been double crossed
The waiting's been so long so long
It's hard to be believing
I thought I'd missed my guess
I thought happiness for me was lost

I want more some more
Some more and then some
You know how I love that stuff
Whisper from now on till Doomsday
But I never
No I never no I never
Will get enough

"That's All"

"That's All"

I can only give you country walks in spring time
The hand to hold when leaves begin to fall
And the lover's burning lights were born on the winter nights
That's all that's all

There are those I know who have told you
They could give you the whole round world for a toy
All I have are my arms to enfold you
And a love time can never destroy destroy

So if you're wondering what I'm asking in return dear
You'll be so surprised to know my demands are very small
Just say it's me that you adore for now and evermore
That's all that's all

"That's All I Ask"

"That's All I Ask"

Don't try to blow out the sun for me baby
I'm not asking for what I know can't be
All that I ask is a kiss a day
And I'll give you love that'll never go away
Yes I will yes I will
I wouldn't ask you to lift up
This great big world little baby
I'm not that kind of a girl

All that I ask is a smile or two
And nothing in this world will be too good for you
Nobody nobody nobody nobody nobody
Nobody knows how deep my love for you really goes
But boy I want you to know
I wouldn't ask you to hold back the light of dawn baby
That's too much to ask to anyone

All that I ask is your loving ways
And I'll keep you happy
For the rest of your natural born days baby
You hear me talking to you
I'll keep you happy
I'll keep you happy for the rest of your days daddy
Just believe me

"That's All I Want From You"

"That's All I Want From You"

A little love that slowly
Grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you
A sunny day with hopes up
To the skies
Not a day that comes and
Dies
That's all I want from you

Don't let me down, oh show
Me that you care
Remember when you give, you
Also get your share
Don't let me down, I have
No time to wait
Tomorrow might not come,
When dreamers dream too late

A little love that slowly
Grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you
A sunny day with hopes up
To the skies
Not one that comes and dies
That's all I want from you

Don't let me down, oh show
Me that you care
Remember when you give, you
Also get your share
Don't let me down, I have
No time to wait
Tomorrow might not come,
When dreamers dream too late

A little love that slowly
Grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you

"That's Him Over There"

"That's Him Over There"

I see your face in this room full of faces
I'm trying hard not to stare
Strange to see you again, here of all places
That's him over there

My baby looks the same as he did when I met him
I'd know that laugh anywhere
It was so foolish of me to think I'd forget him
That's him over there

I wish I could be the girl at his side
The one who has taken my place
Can everyone see what I'm trying to hide?
Isn't it written all over my face?

Oh I guess that you know what extremes I have gone to
To prove that I didn't care
You were so anxious to meet the dream that I've hung onto
Well, that's him, that's my Jim, over there
