I know a cat named Way-Out Willie, Got a cool little chick named Rocking Millie. He can walk and stroll and Susie Q And do that crazy hand jive, too. Mama, mama, look at Uncle Joe Doing the hand jive with sister Flo. Grandma gave baby sister a dime; Said, "Do that hand jive one more time." Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive, Do that crazy hand jive. Doctor and a lawyer and an Indian chief, They all dig that crazy beat. Way-Out Willie gave them all a treat When he did that hand jive with his feet. Chorus Willie and Millie got married last fall. They had a little Willie junior and that ain't all. Well, the kids got crazy and it's plain to see, Doing the hand jive on T.V. Chorus |

Ready, get ready. Ready. He's a man who's going to break your heart. Ready, get ready. Ready. He's a man who's going to break your heart. Well, you've been fooling 'round and I don't know why. Left me on my own, sitting high and dry. But I'm going to get you back, just you wait and see; You can't do those things that you're doing to me. Chorus I've never needed a running 'round pissing hound, Checking out the bitches in heat. You've got a lot of nerve, dishing out what you serve, Waggling your piece of meat. Chorus I want to get revenge on your sinful sins. I got to get you back for what you did back then. And now you've got it back, life is misery. Well, ha ha ha to you, ha ha to me. Ready, get ready. Ready. He's the one that's going to break your heart. Ready, get ready. Ready. He's the one that's going to break your heart, break your heart, Break your heart, break your heart. Get ready, get ready, get ready. He's the one who's going to break your heart, break your heart, Break your heart, break your heart, Break your heart, break your heart, Break your heart. Get ready, get ready, get ready. 'Cause he's the one who's going to break your heart, break your heart, Break your heart, break your heart. |

I just talked to my baby on the telephone, She said, "Stop what you're doing and baby come on home." I can't hold out, I can't hold out too long. I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone. You said, "Baby don't you worry, you're my heart's desire. You know that I love you, I can't stand to see you cry." I can't hold out, I can't hold out too long. I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone. She said, "Baby you can run, you can walk or fly. You know that I love you, you're my heart's desire." I can't hold out, I can't hold out too long. I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone, oh yeah. I talked to my baby, I talked to my baby. I talked to my baby, I talked to my baby. I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone. |

by Charles Scott Boyer
Oh my word, what does it mean? Is it love or is it me That makes me change so suddenly? Looking out, feeling free. Sit here lying in my bed, Wondering what it was I'd said That made me think I'd lost my head, When I knew I lost my heart instead. Won't you please read my signs, be a gypsy. Tell me what I hope to find deep within me. Because you can find my mind, please be with me. Of all the better things I've heard, Loving you has made the words And all the rest seem so absurd, 'Cause in the end it all comes out unsure. Chorus |

Standing at the cross roads
Trying to read the signs To tell me which way I should go to find the answer And all the time I know Plant your love and let it grow * Let it grow let it grow Let it blossom let it flow In the summer rain in the snow Love is lovely (let it grow) let it grow Looking for a reason To check out of my mind It hard to get a friend That I can count on There's nothing left to show Plant your love and let it grow * Repeat Time is getting shorter But there's much for you to do Only asking what do I need to do The rest is up to you Plant you love and let it grow * Repeat * Repeat |

I am a steady rollin' man and I roll both night and day. I am a steady rollin' man and I roll both night and day. But I ain't got no sweet woman, woo-hoo Lord, to be rollin' this way. I am the man that rolls when icicles are hanging on the tree. I am the man that rolls when icicles are hanging on the tree. Why can't you hear me begging mama, woo-hoo Lord, down on my bended knee?

My heart was leaping in the sun; My friends all say that you're the one. Let me get this one thing very clear: There ain't enough going on down here. Mainline Florida, oh say. Mainline Florida, O.K. Her arms were open, open wide; Her invitation's a changing tide. I could remember not long ago We took a cruise down on Hotel Row. Chorus Second Verse Chorus |

Have you ever been walking down that lonesome road?
Have you ever been walking, walking down that lonesome road? All you got in this world, Lord I declare she's dead and gone. Things look so black, you got to travel alone. Things look so black, you got to travel alone. All you got in this world, Lord I declare she's gone. It ain't too good, ain't got a shelter over your head. It don't look so good, when you ain't got a shelter over your head. When you could have been sleeping on a feather bed, yeah. Walkin'. Have you ever been walking, walking down that lonesome road? Have you ever been walking, walking down that lonesome road? When all you got in this world, Lord I declare she's gone. |

You don't know me, baby,
Like I know myself. I just want to love you, baby, But you leave me on the shelf. Ain't that lovin' you, baby? Ain't that lovin' you, baby? Ain't that lovin' you, baby? But you don't even know my name. Let me tell you something, I swear to God it's true. If you give your love to me, I'm gonna give it all to you. You know it's true. Chorus They may kill me, baby, And bury me like they do. My body will lie, but my spirit's gonna find Only you. Chorus |

Put it in your pocket, leave it in your shoe. Plug it in your socket, flush it down the loo. Hey baby, show me something new. Put it in your hat, put it in your can. Feed it to your cat, share it with your band. Hey baby, help me understand. Well they're fighting in the kitchen and they're fighting in the hall. Up against the dark and up against the wall. Why don't you meet me in the bottom, baby; bring your running shoes. |

Smile, though your heart is aching.
Smile, even though it's breaking. Though there are clouds in the sky, You'll get by... If you smile through your fears and sorrows. Smile and maybe tomorrow. You'll see the sun come shining through. If you just light up your face with gladness, Hide every trace of sadness. Although a tear may be ever, ever so near. That's the time you must keep on trying. Smile, what's the use of crying? You'll find life is still worthwhile If you'll just smile, come on and smile. If you just smile. |

Standing at the crossroads, trying to read the signs
To tell me which way I should go to find the answer, And all the time I know, Plant your love and let it grow. [Chorus:] Let it grow, let it grow, Let it blossom, let it flow. In the sun, the rain, the snow, Love is lovely, let it grow. Looking for a reason to check out of my mind, Trying hard to get a friend that I can count on, But there's nothing left to show, Plant your love and let it grow. [Chorus] Time is getting shorter and there's much for you to do. Only ask and you will get what you are needing, The rest is up to you. Plant your love and let it grow. [Chorus 2x] |

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change. You are the reason I've been waiting so long. Somebody holds the key. But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home. Come down on your own and leave your body alone. Somebody must change. You are the reason I've been waiting all these years. Somebody holds the key. Chorus But I can't find my way home. But I can't find my way home. But I can't find my way home. But I can't find my way home. Still I can't find my way home, And I ain't done nothing wrong, But I can't find my way home |

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy. All around in my home town They're trying to track me down. They say they want to bring me in guilty For the killing of a deputy, For the life of a deputy. But I say: I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense. I shot the sheriff, and they say it is a capital offense. Sheriff John Brown always hated me; For what I don't know. Every time that I plant a seed He said, "Kill it before it grows." He said, "Kill it before it grows." I say: I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense. I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense. Freedom came my way one day And I started out of town. All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown Aiming to shoot me down. So I shot, I shot him down. I say: I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy. I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy. Reflexes got the better of me And what is to be must be. Every day the bucket goes to the well, But one day the bottom will drop out, Yes, one day the bottom will drop out. But I say: I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no. I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no. |

Well she′s walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that′s running ′round. Butterflies and zebras, fairy tales, That′s all she ever thinks about. When I′m sad she comes to me With a thousand smiles she gives to me free. Said, ″It′s all right, take anything you want, Anything you want, anything.″ Fly on, little wing |

Thinkin' 'bout the times you drove in my car
Thinkin' that I might have drove you too far And I'm thinkin' 'bout the love that you laid on my table I told you not to wander 'round in the dark I told you 'bout the swans, that they live in the park Then I told you 'bout our kid, now he's married to Mabel Yes, I told you that the light goes up and down Don't you notice how the wheel goes 'round And you better pick yourself up from the ground Before they bring the curtain down Yes, before they bring the curtain down Talkin' 'bout a girl that looks quite like you She didn't have the time to wait in the queue She cried away her life since she fell off the cradle |

What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side? You've been running and hiding much too long. You know it's just your foolish pride. Layla, you've got me on my knees. Layla, I'm begging, darling please. Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind. I tried to give you consolation When your old man had let you down. Like a fool, I fell in love with you, Turned my whole world upside down. Let's make the best of the situation Before I finally go insane. Please don't say we'll never find a way And tell me all my love's in vain. |

The rain is falling through the mists
Of sorrow that surrounded me The sun could never thaw away The mist that lays around me Let it rain, let it rain Let your love rain down on me Let it rain, let it rain Let it rain, rain, rain My life was like a desert flower Burning in the sun Until I found the way to love Was harder said than done Now I know the secret There is nothing that I lack If I give my love to you You′ll surely give it back |
