Two mainstream die
You don't love me when I cry
Have to say goodbye
I don't want to say goodbye
Baby goodbye
And Mister I
I got funky blues
All over me
Such tender persuasion
I want, I want to die
You don't love me when I cry
Made me love to play
Made me promise I would stay
Then you stayed away
Mister I
I got drawn blind blues
All over me
Rubies and smoke rings
No no No you NO NO NO
I will go
I will stay
In the hours of my crying day
In the hours of my crying day
In the hours of my crying day
In the hours of my crying day, ah hey
In the hours of my crying a day, uh hey hey

I am soft and silly and my name is Lillianaloo
And sir you're grace in action to my satisfaction
Well my mama she's savin' cause my daddy's a ravin' crazy gambler
But you my captain are grace in action to my satisfaction oo

Come along now and I'll be your woman if you'll be my captain
I'll be your woman if you'll be my captain
I'll be your woman if you'll be my fearless captain
Die! I would lay me down and die, for my captain

I am soft and silly and my name is Lillianaloo
And sir you're fair black fashion for this winter's passion oo
I've been sold by sailors, I've been worn by tailors, soldiers wound me
But you my captain are medication for my reputation

Come along now and I'll be your woman if you'll be my captain
I'll be your woman if you'll be my captain
I'll be your woman if you'll be my fearless captain
Die! I would lay me down and die, for my captain

Madison smiled
and she hung with a band of strays
the band was gone
bringin it on
to the Broadway blaze
once I lived under the city in my sweet July

July mercy on broadway
don't you believe it
you better know what I say
she'll make you pay
down the alleyway
slippin up a sidestreet
shine
everybody
shine

on Broadway
jive and pray
There aint no mercy now
on Broadway

People and the landlords shine
down and gay wine
in the doom swept the band away
Baby on broadway
is she mild
like mother and child?
does she obey?
once I lived under the city in my sweet July

July mercy on broadway
don't you believe it
you better know what I say
she'll make you pay
Black city fair
ole road runner there
shine
everybody
shine

Come on, people! Come on, children!
COme on down to the glory river.
Gonna wash you up, and wash you down,
gonna lay the devil down, gonna lay that devil down.
I got fury in my soul,fury's gonna take me to the glory goal.
In my mind I can't study war no more.
Save the people! Save the children! Save the country now!
Come on, people! come on, children!
Come on down to the glory river.
Gonna wash you up and wash you down.
Gonna lay the devil down, gonna lay that devil down.
COme on people! Sons and mothers!
Keep the dream of the two young brothers.
Gonna take that dream and ride that dove.
We could build the dream with love, I know,
We could build the dream with love, I know,
We could build a dream with love, children,
We could build the dream with love, oh people,
We could build the dream with love, I know,
We could build the dream with love.
2nd verse:
Come on, people! Come on, children!
There's a king at the glory river.
And the precious king, he loved the people to sing;
Babes in the blinkin' sun sang
We Shall Overcome.

Don't go to gibsom cross the river
The devil is hungry
The devil is sweet
If you are soft then you will shiver
They hang the alley cats on gibsom street
I wish my baby were forbidden
I wish my world be struck by sleet
I wish to keep my mirror hidden
To hide the eyes that looked on gibsom street
There is a man he knows where I'm going
Gave me a strawberry to eat
I sucked its juices never knowing
That I would sleep that night on gibsom street

So winter froze the river
And winter birds don't sing
So winter makes you shiver
So time is gonna bring you spring

so he swears he'll never marry
Says that cuddles are a curse
Just tell him plain
You're on the next train
If love don't get there first

Time and love
Everybody
Time and love,
Nothing cures like
Time and love
Don't let the devil fool you
Here comes a dove
Nothing cures like Time and love

So winter froze the river
And winter birds don't sing
So winter makes you shiver
So time is gonna bring you spring

you been runnin', you been ramblin',
And you don't know what to do
A holy golden wager says
That love will see you through

Time and love

So Jesus was an angel
And mankind broke his wing
But Jesus gave his lifeline
So sacred bells could sing

now a woman is a fighter
Gathered white or African
A woman
Is a woman is a woman inside
Has miracles for her man

Time and love

There's a man who loves me
When it hurts inside
There's a man who loves me
When my hair is tied

When my hair is down
When I touch the man
Lord, I rise
To rooftops in his eyes

And don't you know
Now or never, never
Never will I roam

'Cause he's the man
He's the man
Who sends me home
Sends me home

I belong
To the man
Don't belong without him
When I sleep without him
Loneliness
Loneliness
My dreams with God
Softly waiting
I belong to the man
Sweet lovin' baby
Oh sweet lovin' baby
I want you
I could almost die
He says
There's gold in you darling
Drew gold
When I woke her
She's an ole clain smoker
Grace
And the Preacher
Blown fleets of sweet eyed dreams
Tonight
Loneliness
Loneliness
Natural windmill
Wheel weave and bless
My bed
My bed
My man
That's lovin baby
Oh sweet lovin baby
Where is the night luster?
Past my trials
Sparkling in flight
In your arms
For all my life.

Blue berry
A rush on rum
Of brush and drum
And the past is a blue note
Inside me
I ran away in the morningNew York tendaberry
Blue berry
Rugs and drapes and drugs
And capes
Sweet kids in hunger slums
Firecrackers break
And they cross
And they dust
And they skate
And the night comesI ran away in the morningNow I'm back
Unpacked
Sidewalk and pigeon
You look like a city
But you feel like a religion
To meNew York tendabery
True berry
I lost my eyes
I east wind skies
Here where I've cried
Where I've tried
Where God and the tendaberry rise
Where quakers and revolutionaries
Join for life
For precious years
Joined for life
Through silver tearsNew York tendaberry

Come on, people! Come on, children!

In my mind I can't study war no more.
Save the people! Save the children! Save the country now!
Come on, people! come on, children!

Gonna wash you up and wash you down.
Gonna lay the devil down, gonna lay that devil down.
COme on people! Sons and mothers!

Gonna take that dream and ride that dove.
We could build the dream with love, I know,
We could build the dream with love, I know,
We could build a dream with love, children,
We could build the dream with love, oh people,
We could build the dream with love, I know,
We could build the dream with love.
