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 |

The sky is crying, look at the tears rolling down the streets. The sky is crying, look at the tears rolling down the streets. I looked out my window, the rain was falling down in sheets. My baby left me this morning, Lord knows I don't know the reason why. My baby left me this morning, I don't know the reason why. And everytime I think about it, I hang my head and cry. The sun is shining, although it's raining in my heart. The sun is shining, although it's raining in my heart. I love my baby, I hate to see us part. |

She is cryin, she is cryin. Shes been cryin all night long. Shes been cryin for her one and only son. She will weep, she will moan. She will moan the night away. She will weep and moan until the break of day. I had called for the doctor, But the doctor cant be found. So what could I do but sit and look around? Oh lord, wont you hear, Wont you hear me when I pray. Please send this girl her one and only son. She is cryin, she is cryin. She is cryin the whole night long. She is cryin for her one and only son. |

When a girl reach the age of 18 She begins to think she's grown, And hat's the kind of little girl You can never find at home. Come and see me early in the morning, Just about the break of day. Want to see me hug my pillow Where my baby used to lay? One drink of wine, Two drinks of gin. Pretty young got me In the shape I'm in. Chorus I pass by the juke joint, Look through the door. She's doing the boogie-woogie In the middle of the floor. Chorus First Verse 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. |

They picked me up, put me in the county jail. They picked me up, put me in the county jail. They wouldn't let my woman come and post my bail. Now I'm in prison, I've almost done my time. Now I'm in prison, I've almost done my time. They gave me six months, I had to work out nine. I know my baby, she's gonna jump and shout. I know my baby, she's gonna jump and shout. When the train comes in and I come walking out. Take these stripes from around me, chains from around my legs. Take these stripes from around me, chains from around my legs. The stripes don't hurt me; the chains could kill me dead. |

Well I never will forget that floating bridge. Lord I never will forget that floating bridge. Lord I never will forget that floating bridge. They tell me five minutes time underwater I was hid. I was going down and I throwed up my hands. As I was going down I throwed up my hands. As I was going down I throwed up my hands, Saying, "Please Lord, take me on dry land." Well they carried me in the house and they laid me 'cross the bed. Well they carried me in the house, they laid me 'cross the bed. Well they carried me in the house, they laid me 'cross the bed. I couldn't hear nothing but muddy water running 'round my head. Oh my mother often told me, "Quit playing a bum." My mother always told me, "Quit playing a bum." Lord, my mother always told me, "Son, quit playing a bum. Go out somewhere and make a crumb." All the people on the bridge was screaming and crying. Well all the people on the bridge was screaming and crying. All the people on the bridge stood screaming and crying, Saying, "Lord have mercy, wher's we g'wine?" |

When the sun rose this morning, I didn't have my baby by my side. When the sun rose this morning, I didn't have my baby by my side. I don't know where she was, I know she's out with some another guy. Don't the sun look lonesome shading down behind the trees? Don't the sun look lonesome shading down behind the trees? But don't your house look lonesome when your baby's packed to leave. Blow wind, blow wind, blow my baby back to me. Blow wind, blow wind, blow my baby back to me. Well you know if I don't soon find them, I will be in misery. Goodbye baby, that is all I have left to say. Goodbye baby, that is all I have left to say. But you have lost your good thing, go ahead and have your own way. |

Feel like someone's put the hurt on me, And it's making me feel sad. Feel like someone's trying to turn me away From the good times to the bad. Feel like someone's trying to teach me What is wrong from what is right. And I can't belong to everyone; Let me stay with you tonight. And I hope it makes somebody happy. Lord, I hope it makes somebody happy. This river's hard enough for me to swim, But there's nowhere left to hide. I ain't no swimmer but I won't give in Till I reach the other side. Chorus 'Cause it's all to make somebody happy. It takes us all to make somebody happy. |
