CHORUS

Oh Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah
He's still alive
Oh Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah
A hundred and five

There was a time early in life
When he gambled to gain
And he carried a knife
And he was winnin' that very night
He cussed the devil, yes he cussed him good
He swore he'd lick 'em
Yes he swore he could
And he dared him to come to
Him if he would Yeah

CHORUS

It was early in the mornin'
When he got to bed
To rest his weary gamblin' head
When he heard the angry words
His pappy said


"Lijiah go and fetch some wood!"
He heard his words
And up he stood
Even tho it hurt he knew he should

CHORUS

Outside he heard the rattle of chains
And he ran from someone
He thought insane
As he heard the devil
Callin' out his name
The devil grabbed his suspenders well
And he trembled
As he felt the hand from hell
And he let out with a hairy yell

He jumped in bed with his
Maw and Paw
And he told 'em that
The devil was in Arkansas
And he told 'em he'd
Quit gamblin'
Or break the law

CHORUS

Yeah they call me yeah Hot n Nasty
Yeah they call me uh Mister Fancy
Yeah when you ball me
Yeah you're hot n nasty
Oh when you ball me
You're Miss Fancy
Right

When I come a knockin' at your door
Let me in and I'll tell you some more
No two men are ever the same
And they tell me
Jim Dandy is my name

CHORUS

They say Jim Dandy is my name
They say Jim Dandy is my name
Always to blame
Always to blame
And always just the same
Yeah Hot N Nasty

CHORUS

Hot N Nasty

Now there's somethin' I'd like to talk to you about
at this particular moment, and that's about the one
thing that we won't be able to do together. Unless we
all become as one. And if we all become as one, then
we can walk thru it together. Now I ain't walked thru
it all the way yet. But there was a time I walked
into it, and I had to go into it alone, that's this
place called the Halls of Karma. Now when you go into
the Halls of Karma the way I did, I don't know, it
might have been hallucination, but I think it was
real. You see I felt the presence of the two energies;
the positive and the negative; of God and the Devil,
however you want it. And they were pullin' and
decidin' and wondering what to do with my soul, and I
couldn't take this at this moment 'cause I had to come
back to be with you people to do a thing and I proved
to 'em, in bargainin' with 'em that I had a thing to
do for the good of all of us. Out of this bargain,
the devil, he got my body for the good in his needs
while I'm here on earth and the Lord, he's got my mind
for the good of the universe and for the good of man.
And they both got me in between 'cause they both got
my soul. So the next time I come up, I want the Lord
to, Please have Mercy, On My Soul

I've walked through the Halls of Karma
I shook hands with both the Devil and God
They turned my eyes to the inside to see
Where my energies have gone
Yes I've run with both all through my life
I've respected and reflected them both
Yes the sympathy of God as he looked
At my life the excitement of the Devil as we talked

So Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on my soul

The Devil said, "scratch my back and I'll
Scratch your back for sure"
So you have done all these sins for him
My heart could not be pure
I found out what means more to me
Than anything on this earth
To be ready for my judgement day
Ready to face the truth

So Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on my soul

I hope I've done the right things
For both your sake and mine
I preach in what I live for
My only fear is fear of time
I wanted to look logical
to both my "Maker" and his host
But this trip of life must be complete
or my cards will be lost.

So Lord Please Have Mercy on My Soul

When troubles got you down
and sorrow's all around
if you think your loves all been in vain
just cry to end the pain.

Please keep the faith, we need it.

You look for a way out
of this sea of doubt.
It looks hard I understand
swimmin when you can't see land.

Please keep the faith, we need it.

You need to see the country
but something holds you back.
Travel near, far and wide.
Have no fear or nothing to hide.

Please keep the faith, we need it.
If you're tired of the human race,
and you can't find yourself in pace,
there's too many games goin round
and the Man's tryin to bring you down.

Please keep the faith, we need it.

Fever in my mind, I had a little bit.
Money in my pocket, just a little bit.
Gave the doctor what I had.
Money only makes me sad.
I still got the fever in my mind.

Doctor told me that I had
A little bit of fever in my head.
And he said it'd go away.
When he said it'd go away.
I listened to him but I knew
That it would stay because
The fever that I had was in
My mind - in my mind.

Doctor told me that I had a little bit
Of fever in my head , just a little bit.

But I knew what he would say
He would try to make me stay,
If I had a fever in my mind.

Oh no, Oh no, Oh no
Oh no, In my mind.

White-headed woman (2)
ain't had a chance yet (2)
White-headed woman (2)
only got your pants wet, (2)
You know I want you,
you want me too I bet, (2)

White-headed woman (2)
maybe when the time is right. (2)
White-headed woman (2)
maybe you can spend the night. (2)
Won't get much sleep then
but we'll feel all right. (2)

I can tell by the look in your eyes
it has come of no surprise.
By the way that you lick your lips
you know what you're gonna get.

Cause I want you
White-headed woman. (2)

I want you this afternoon (2)
White-headed woman (2) please come soon. (2)
I can feel the vibes
a humpin on through the room. (2)

White-headed woman.

I want, I need
I need to feel a fertile woman

There are many kinds of love
that make their homes on this earth
but we're gonna take a look at the love
havin untold of worth - untold of worth
not the kind with dyin vows, or even the
question why
but the kind made by two animals
just to look up and watch it fly

I want, I need
I need to feel a fertile woman



Do you like to be excited
oh I like to be excited too
so come on we'll raise some excitement
oh yea that's what we'll do
gonna raise some excitement with you
tell me fertil woman
do i come on too strong
for us to come together
and to sing out life's song
just to sing out life's song

I want, I need
I need to feel a fertile woman

If you believe, I mean really believe
follow me and find your way back through time
from the power I possess I can see through the maze
I can see man's progress cause earth's dyin days
but if we go back to nature and live in the wilderness
just another animal pure, earth'id live
longer and we'd live less

Why do we need to live to be so old
when we could live free to die young and bold
man is an animal gone mad
yes he's turned into a monster
our generation is his offspring
yes mutants of the monster

My power is magic
from a wish on a star
yea earning the wish is karmic
to help what good spirits there still are

But when you've been granted the
privilege of bein heard
yea take great care with this power and
watch every word
for when you know someone's listenin
your words can mean a great deal yea
they can be the key to magic thoughts
havin never been revealed

Why do we need to live to be so old
when we could live free to die young and bold
man is an animal gone mad
yes he's turned into a monster
our generation is his offspring
yes mutants of the monster
We're mutants of the monster

I was sitting on a mountain top.
30,000 feet to drop.
Tied me on a runaway horse
Uh huh, that's right, of course.
Jim Dandy to the rescue!
Go, Jim Dandy! Go, Jim Dandy!

One day, I met a girl named Sue.
She was feeling kind of blue.

Who can't stand to see a little girl cry.

Got a message from my mermaid queen.
She was hanging on a fishing line.
Mr. Dandy didn't waste no time!
Jim Dandy to the rescue!

Once upon a time, I went to Maine.
Got a ticket on a DC plane.
