Big Bill Broonzy - Warm, Witty & Wise (1999) by Big Bill Broonzy (보컬) on maniadb.com

Early early one morning, water was comin' in my door
Early one morning, water was comin' in my door
It was the old high(?) river, tellin' us to get ready and go

It was dark and it was rainin', you could hear that howlin' wind
It was dark and it was rainin', baby you could hear that howlin' wind
If I get away this time, I will never come here again

Hey my baby was cryin', I didn't have a thing to eat
Hey hey hey, I didn't have a thing to eat
Hey the water had come in, wash everything I had down the street

I was hollerin' for mercy, and it weren't no boats around
Hey I was hollerin' for mercy, and it weren't no boats around
Hey that looks like people, I've gotta stay right here and drown

Hey my house started shakin', started floatin' on down the stream
Hey my house started shakin', went on floatin' on down the stream
It was dark as midnight, people began to holler and scream

I'm gonna tell you, baby
Something I want you to do
Don't stay out all night, baby
And I want your little heart to be true

Gal, because night time is the right time
To be with the one you love
Oh, with the one you love

Now don't forget, baby
I love you with all my might
If you get home before midnight, baby
I declare everything will be all right

Gal, because night time is the right time
To be in the bed with the one you love
With the one you love

I ain't gonna beat you, baby
I declare I ain't gonna dog you around
Gal, I'm just gonna warn you, baby
Before the news gets all over town

Gal, that night time is the right time
To be in the bed with the one you love
With the one you love

Play it, mister man
Night time is the right time

Listen to me, baby
I mean with your whole heart and mind
I just want to hold you, baby
In my arms and hold you for a long, long time

Gal, because night time is the right time
Baby, to be with the one you love
Oh, with the one you love

You say you're gettin' old, Lord, older every day
You say you're gettin' old, yeah, you say you're gettin' older every day
Now you ain't but fifty, oh Lord, boy you shouldn't feel that way

Now when you get so old, you can't work at no mill
Yeah, when you get so old, Lord boy you can't work at no mill
Now don't you make no date, oh Lord buddy that you can't fill

Now if your luck don't change, boy don't you be sad
Yeah, if your luck don't change, now buddy don't you be sad
Now you really gotta learn Lord to take the good now with the bad

Now when you get old, and your good girl don't want you around
Oh Lord, when you get old, and your good girl don't want you around
Now you know you done run out of commission, ooh boy I declare you are poorhouse bound

Now don't laugh buddy, Lord it nobody's downfall
Oh Lord, don't laugh buddy, I mean it nobody's downfall
Because if your woman would check up on you, ooh Lord she put another mule in your stall
