Ain't no sunshine when she's gone It's not warm when she's away Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And she's always gone too long Anytime she goes away Wonder this time where she's gone Wonder if she's gone to stay Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And this house just ain't no home Anytime she goes away I know, I know, I know, I know.. That I can't leave no thing alone Ain't no sunshine when she's gone Ain't no sunshine when she's gone Only darkness every day Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And this house just ain't no home Anytime she goes away Ain't no sunshine when she's gone It's not warm when she's away Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And she's always gone too long Anytime she goes away Anytime she goes away... |

Grandma's hands Clapped in church on Sunday morning Grandma's hands Played a tambourine so well Grandma's hands Used to issue out a warning She'd say, "Billy don't you run so fast Might fall on a piece of glass "Might be snakes there in that grass" Grandma's hands Grandma's hands Soothed a local unwed mother Grandma's hands Used to ache sometimes and swell Grandma's hands Used to lift her face and tell her, "Baby, Grandma understands That you really love that man Put yourself in Jesus hands" Grandma's hands Grandma's hands Used to hand me piece of candy Grandma's hands Picked me up each time I fell Grandma's hands Boy, they really came in handy She'd say, "Matty don' you whip that boy What you want to spank him for? He didn' drop no apple core" But I don't have Grandma anymore If I get to Heaven I'll look for Grandma's hands |

She couldn't stand me anymore so she just took the kids and went.
You see, I've got a drinkin' problem, all the money that we had I spent. Now I must die by my own hand ‘cause I'm not man enough to live alone. Hey, hey, she's better off without me and I'm better off dead now that she's gone. Ah, she gave the most, took the least, she even had the priest come to our home. And I cried and prayed and promised that I'd leave the stuff alone. Now I must leave what I can't face, I hope she finds the kids a happy home. Hey, hey she's better off without me and I'm better off dead now that she's gone. She used to call her friend and cry, then the man cut off the telephone. She'd sit and cry while I went out and pawned the things we owned. Now I must die by my own hand ‘cause I'm not man enough to live alone. Hey, hey she's better off without me and I'm better off dead. |

You can live your life in a crowded city
You can walk along a crowded street But the city really ain't no bigger Than the friendly people, friendly people that you meet You might be a sweet young, sweet young pretty pretty And at the dances you can't keep your seat But if dances don't lead to romances You might as well be born, be born with two left feet You might be a sweet-toned sure 'nuff high-class talker You might be a stone, stone expert at kissing But it don't do too much good to be talkin' Brother, when there ain'n no, ain't nobody listenin' And if you are shy, just not much of a talker Don't impress the people that you meet You might as well be a lonely walker In a lonely town, on a lonely street |

Maybe the lateness of the hour
Makes me seem bluer than I am But in my heart there is a shower, I hope she'll be happier with him. Maybe the darkness of the hour Makes me seem lonelier than I am, But over the darkness I have no power, Hope she'll be happier with him. I can't believe that she don't want to see me, We lived and loved with each other so long. I never thought that she really would leave me, But she's gone. Maybe the lateness of the hour Makes me seem bluer than I am, But in my heart there is a shower, Hope she'll be happier with him. |
