"Since I Met You Baby"

"Since I Met You Baby"



Since I met you baby
My whole life has changed
Since I met you baby
My whole life has changed
All my friends tell me
I'm not the same
Let me tell you
Since I met you baby
I'm a happy man
Since I met you baby
Looks like I'm a happy man

I'm gonna try and please you
In every way that I can
Let me tell you

I don't need nobody
To tell my troubles to
I don't need nobody
To tell my troubles to

Oh, 'cause since I met you baby
All I need is you
And oh, pretty baby
You know I love you baby
Better than I do myself
When I'm with you
I don't need nobody else
Love me in the morning
You got to love me late at night
Love me in the morning
You got to love me late at night
When you love me
I hope everything is allright

"Sittin' In The Sun"

"Sittin' In The Sun"



Sittin' in the sun counting my money
fanned by my summer-breeze
Sweeter than the honey is counting my money
Those greenbacks on the trees
Comes the summer shower drops of rain falling
Sweeter than the christ-mass chimes
And here on those jungles upon the roof shingles
Like pennies, nickles and dimes

Though it is knows that what I own
is not a lot to move
fills of gold that I behold
are in my bank-account,
I'm sitting in the sun
counting my money
happy as can be
and to top it all when shadows fall
I look to heaven and I see
there's a silver dollar
in the sky shining down on me

Can you wonder why I'm in
sittin' in the sun
counting my money
happy as can be
and to top it all when shadows fall
I look to heaven and I see
there's a silver dollar
in the sky shining down on me

"Smoke Rings"

"Smoke Rings"



Where do they go
Those smoke rings I blow each night?
Oh, what do they do
Those circles of blue and white?
Why do they seem to picture a dream of love
And why do they fade, that phantom parade of love?

Puff, puff, puff, puff your cares away
Puff, puff, puff, night and day
Blow, blow them in the air
Silky little rings
Blow, blow them everywhere
Give your troubles wings!

Oh little smoke rings I love
Please take me above
Take me with you!

"So Long"

"So Long"



so long, so long
jee, I hate to see you go
you mean the world to me you know
you've been mine so long

so long, so long
hope we meet again some day
if we do I hope you'll say
darling, my mind was wrong

all alone with my memories of you
I hope you are lonely too
you're my own
even though we're oh so far apart
I shall keep you here in my heart

so long, though you leave me and I cry?
this will never be goodbye
you've been mine so long

all alone with my memories of you
I hope you are lonely too
you're my own
even though we're oh so far apart
I shall keep you here in my heart

so long, though you leave me in a pry?
this will never be goodbye
you've been mine so long

"Solitude"

"Solitude"



In my solitude you haunt me
with memories of days gone by
In my solitude you taunt me
with memories that never die
I sit in my chair, I feel despair
No one can be so sad
With gloom everywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad
In my solitude I pray
dear Lord above send back my love

"Somebody Have Mercy"

"Somebody Have Mercy"



Somebody have mercy and tell me what is wrong with me
Somebody have mercy and tell me what is wrong with me
Sometimes I don't know how I stand the things this woman do to me

Let me tell you
When I think about how she do me
The tears fall down like rain, like rain
When I think about how she do me
The tears fall down like rain, like rain
When I think i've got her chained down
She starts actin' up again

Oh let me tell you
I'm goin' down to the bus station
With a suitcase in my hand, yes I am
I'm goin' down to the bus station
With a suitcase in my hand, yes I am
I'm gonna grab me an armful of greyhound
And ride just as close I can
Do that thing for me now

Let me tell you one more time
Somebody have mercy I wonder what is wrong with me, lord have mercy
Somebody have mercy I wonder what is wrong with me, yeah
Sometimes I don't know how I stand the things this woman do to me

Do that one more time, my fellas
I'm standin' here wonderin', baby
With a matchbox hole in my clothes, yes
I am standin', wonderin', baby,
With a matchbox hole in my clothes, yes I am
Oh I got a long way to get there
And I got-a some time to go

"Somebody's Gonna Miss Me"

"Somebody's Gonna Miss Me"



Somebody's gonna miss me
Somebody's gonna miss me
Somebody's gonna miss me when I'm gone

Baby, somebody's gonna miss me
Somebody's gonna miss me
Somebody's gonna miss me when I'm gone

Yeah, when I begin to roam
A long long way from home
I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Oh yes you will
When your friends all put you down
And there ain't nobody else around
I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Baby let me tell you, I know you're gonna miss me
I know you're gonna miss me
I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Oh baby, I know you're gonna miss me
I know you're gonna miss me
I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Baby, I always kept you in my care
Ready to give and always to share
That's why you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Oh yes you will

Someday you may forget me
And regret the day that you ever met me
But still you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Baby let me tell you, I know you're gonna miss me
I know you're gonna miss me
I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Oh I know you're gonna miss me
I know you're gonna miss me
I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

"Someday"

"Someday"



I know that someday you want me to want you
When I'm in love with somebody new
You expect me to be true
and to keep on loving you
Although I am blue,
you think I can't forget you

Although you don't want to meet now
I'll get along somehow
And I won't want you

 

[fox69]

"Soothe Me"

"Soothe Me"



Soothe me baby, soothe me
Soothe me with your kindness
For you know your powerful love is
Soothing to me
Soothe me baby, soothe me
Soothe me with your kindness
For you know your powerful love is
Soothing to me

Oh how I used to ramble
And how I used to roam
Oh but since I met that baby of mine
All I do is stay at home
And I tell her:

Soothe me baby, soothe me
Soothe me with your kindness
For you know your powerful love is
Soothing to me

Oh, I used to have a lot of girls
Have them big and small
Oh, but since I met that baby of mine
I know no other girls at all
I just tell her

Soothe me baby, soothe me
Soothe me with your kindness
For you know your powerful love is
Soothing to me

It's so soothing to me
Your love, babe, is soothing to me

"South Of The Border (Down Mexico Way)"

"South Of The Border (Down Mexico Way)"



Ai-ai-ai-ai
oh-oh-oh-oh
ai-ai-ai-ai
oh-oh-oh-oh

south of the border
down Mexico way
that's where I fell in love
when stars above came out to play

and now as I wonder
my thoughts ever stray
south of the border
down Mexico way

she was the picture
in old Spanish lace
just for a tender while
I kissed the smile
upon her face
for it was siesta
and we were so gay
south of the border
down Mexico way

then she sighed as she whispered manana
never dreaming that we were parting
and I lied as I whisperd manana
for our tomorrow never came

south of the border
I rode back one day
there in a veil of white by candlelight
she kneeled to pray
the missionbells told me
that I musn't stay
south of the border
down mexico way

Ai-ai-ai-ai
oh-oh-oh-oh
