"Tramp"
(originally by Lowell Fulson)



Tramp -
You can call me that.
I don't wear continental clothes.. Stuts and hats.
But I'm a lover
Mama was - Papa too.
I'm not a child.. Love is all I know to do.

Call me country
That a new word
I'll answer when You call me, Baby, I mean, if that makes You feel good...
But I'm just a lover
Mama was - Papa too.
But I'm not a child.. Love is all I know to do.

Now.. Whatever You call me,
I'll even go for that!
'Cause I keep a fat bank roll in my pocket Baby!
You know, I want three Cadillacs -
'Cause I'm just a lover.
Mama was - Papa too.
I'm not a child.. Love is all I know to do.

"True Fine Love"


I ain't complainin'
But I'd sure like to find me
A true, fine love

That's as sweet as your mother

"Walks Like A Lady"

"Walks Like A Lady"


Everybody wants to be her man
Everybody knows her name
And every single time that she walks by
Everybody just falls back lame
Everybody wants to see her
Ain't nobody wants to talk
They're afraid that they might say too much
Afraid that she might walk

You know she walks like a lady
But she acts like a child
She can drive you crazy
Yeah, she can drive you wild

Talks like a baby
But she looks like a lady to me

Why do they blame her
Why do they call her name that way
All they want to do is
Try to shame her
Try to make her play their game that way
They'll never chain her down
They'll never make her stay that way
She's not that way
You can't explain her cause all she wants to do is

Walk like a lady
But she acts like a child
She can drive you crazy
Yeah, she can drive you wild
Talks like a baby, but she looks like a lady to me

Time just keeps on passin'
Till I finally asked her out
She said pick me up at eight
And don't be late
And we'll see what you're about

Up to the drive just ready to roll
The girl was no where to be seen
She stood me up, she knocked me down
Boy, that girl is mean

You know she walks like a lady
But she acts like a child
She can drive you crazy
Yeah, she can drive you wild
Talks like a baby, but she looks like a lady to me

Why do they blame her
Why do they call her name that way
All they want to do is
Try to shame her
Try to make her play their game that way
They'll never chain her down
They'll never make her stay that way
She's not that way
You can't explain her cause all she wants to do is

Walk like a lady
Talk like a lady
You know she walks like a lady
You know she talks like a baby
Walk like a lady
Talk like a lady
You know she walks like a lady
You know she talks like a baby
Looks like a lady to me
Looks like a lady to me
Looks like a lady to me

"When Sunny Gets Blue"

"When Sunny Gets Blue"


When Sunny gets blue
Her eyes get gray and cloudy
Then the rain begins to fall
Pitter, patter, pitter, patter
Love has gone so what can matter
No lover man comes to call

When Sunny gets blue
She breathes a sigh of sadness
Like the wind that stirs the tree
Wind that sets the leaves to swayin'
Like some violins are playin'
Weird and haunting melody

People used to love to hear her laugh, to see her smile
That's how she got her name
Since that sad affair
She's lost her smile, she's changed her style
Somehow she's not the same
But memories will fade and pretty dreams will rise up
Where her other dreams fell through
Hurry new love, hurry here
And brush away each falling tear and hold her near
When Sunny gets blue

People used to love to hear her laugh, to see her smile
That's how she got her name
Since that sad affair
She's lost her smile, she's changed her style
Somehow she's not the same
But memories will fade and pretty dreams will rise up
Where her other dreams fell through
Hurry new love, hurry here
And brush away each falling tear and hold her near
When Sunny gets blue

"While I'm Waiting"

"While I'm Waiting"


I left my message on your number
In hopes that you might call
Riding high on good intentions
Still hanging on the wall
Although my words were never all too
Clear it's understood
It's never too late to say in other ways
Something in our lives we'll rearrange
More than just your call on holiday

Ring me up, don't bring me down
Don't let me hear you won't
Come through tonight
Ring me up, don't bring me down
You know this lonely heart stands by me
While I'm waiting

Remembering how it came together
The meaning in your eyes
Now words fall out like perfect strangers
We both apologize
In all this time I thought I knew you
And over looked somehow the reasons why
You kept inside

Ring me up, don't bring me down
Don't let me hear you won't
Come through tonight
This lonely heart stands by me
While I'm waiting

Ring me up, don't bring me down
Don't let me hear you won't
Come through tonight

Ring me up, don't bring me down
Here's hoping the days gone by we'll see again
This lonely heart stands by and I'm still waiting
Ooh still waiting
Ooh still waiting

My baby caught the train, left me all alone

"Wide River"

"Wide River"


Wide river
She opens her mouth to the sea
Singing dear, dear ocean, now
Here is a kiss from me

And she runs like a river to the setting sun
She runs like a river that has never been won
She runs like a river that will always be free

Wide river
Carry me back home
To the place I love
That I call my own

And we can run like a river to the setting sun
Run like a river that has never been won
Run like a river that will always be free

Wide river
Do you remember me
It was not so long ago
That you set me free

And now I run like a river to the setting sun
I run like a river that has never been won
I run like a river that will always be free

Come on baby
Let's run in circles
Come on darling let's circle each other
And find the love, all the love that we need

Come on baby, let's circle each other
Well, we can do, do for each other
I'll do for you, and you'll do for me

And we can run like a river to the setting sun
Run like a river that has never been won
Run like a river that will always be free

And we can run like a river to the setting sun
Run like a river that has never been won
Run like a river that will always be free

And we can run like a river to the setting sun
Run like a river that has never been won
Run like a river that will always be free

"Wild Mountain Honey"

"Wild Mountain Honey"


Ooh, mama
Well look what's been done
You can only see the stars
After a setting sun

You run for the money
You don't even know about wild mountain honey

Come on mama
Heal this lonesome man
Grow the tree of wholeness
In this desert land

Come on children
Now learn how to run
By heaven, the stars, the moon and the sun

Come on papa
Your end is the means
Don't trade your love and goodness
For the golden machine

You run for the money
You don't even know about wild mountain honey
