Koko Taylor - Koko Taylor (2004) by Koko Taylor (보컬) on maniadb.com

I always thought that a man should be the boss in his home.
But how can a king rule his castle when he's always gone
(now listen)
I tried to do the things for you that a woman should do
But you take me for granted baby,
You must think I'm some kind of fool

But here's some food for thought
And I want you to understand
I can love you like a woman,
But oh! also fight you like a man
(did you hear what I said?)
It's allright

You rush out, and take your time coming in
Thats how its always been
You been treating me like I'm a piece of wood
Since I don't know when
But I'm a peaceful woman
I know violence is no good
But I can't demonstrate to you
To be understood

So I'm gonna tell you in plain english
Just as plain as I can
I'm gonna love you like a woman
But oh! also fight you like a man
(did you hear what I said?)
It's allright

Solo

Very first thing you said to me,
I wear the pants
Then you turned around and you started cheating
Showin me you got a trend

But baby your time,
Is very close at hand
I'm gonna love you like a woman
But oh! also fight you like a man
Tell the truth
(and don't think nothin' bout it!)
It's allright

I gonna get you back now baby ,tell the truth
Oh! it's allright...oh yeah
Tell the truth..I'm gonna fight you baby!
It's alright oh!
Tell the truth
Oh yeah

Tell Automatic Slim , tell Razor Totin' Jim
Tell Butcher Knife Totin' Annie, tell Fast Talking Fanny
A we gonna pitch a ball, a down to that union hall
We gonna romp and tromp till midnight
We gonna fuss and fight till daylight
We gonna pitch a wang dang doodle all night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
Tell Kudu-Crawlin' Red, tell Abyssinian Ned
Tell ol' Pistol Pete, everybody gonna meet
Tonight we need no rest, we really gonna throw a mess
We gonna to break out all of the windows,
we gonna kick down all the doors
We gonna pitch a wang dang doodle all night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
Tell Fats and Washboard Sam, that everybody gonna to jam
Tell Shaky and Boxcar Joe, we got sawdust on the floor
Tell Peg and Caroline Dye, we gonna have a time
When the fish scent fill the air, there'll be snuff juice everywhere
We gonna pitch a wang dang doodle all night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long

I got 29 ways just to get to my baby's door
I got 29 ways just to get to my baby's door
And if he need me bad I can find about two or three more

I got a way through the window,
I got a way down the hall,
and if the goin' get rough I got a hole in the wall
I got 29 ways to get to my baby's door
And when he need me bad I can find about two or three more

I got 29 ways just to get to my baby's door
I got 29 ways just to get to my baby's door
And when he need me bad I can find about two or three more

Now I got ways that I never have said
I got a trapdoor right under his bed
I got 29 ways just to get to my baby's door
And when he need me bad I can find about two or three more

I got 29 ways just to get to my baby's door
I got 29 ways just to get to my baby's door
And if he need me bad I can find about two or three more

I got a way through the front,
I got a way through the back,
I got a loose hole and I can ease through the crack
I got 29 ways just to get to my baby's door
And if he need me bad I can find about two or three more

I got 29 ways now
I got 29 ways y'all
I got 29 ways yeah
I got 29 ways now
I got 29 ways just to get to my baby's door

(Dixon, sp.:)
I went out to the insane asylum
And I found my baby out there
I said please come back to me darlin'
What in the world are you doin' here?
Then the little girl raised up her head
Tears was streamin' down from her eyes
And these are the things
That the little girl said

(sung:)
When your love has ceased to be (Lord, have mercy)
There's no other place for me (Mmmm)
If you don't hold me in your arms (Oh child oh child)
I'd rather be here from now on
Some people have an halfway fare
Without your love I ain't nowhere
Oh I can't eat and I can't sleep (oh child oh child)
Lord I can't even live in peace (Mmmm)
Please take me baby for your slave (Oooh)
And save me from that early grave
Some people have an halfway fare
Without your love I ain't nowhere

(Dixon, sp.:)
And then sorrow struck my heart
Tears began to stream down from my eyes
The only woman that I ever loved in whole my life
Out here in a place in a condition like this
And I began to thinkin' about what my mama told me when I was a little boy
She told me when I couldn't help myself, to get down on my knees and pray
Then I fell down on my knees
And these are the words that I said

(sung, both)
Save me save me save me babe,
Save me save me save me dear,
Whoa I don't know just how we made it
But I'm so glad our love is here
But I'm so glad our love is here
But I'm so glad our love is here...
