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! Oh Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah, He's still alive. Oh Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah, A hundred and five. 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 though it hurt, he knew he should. Yeah! Oh Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah, He's still alive. Still cookin'! Oh Uncle Li--jiah, Uncle Lijiah, A hundred and five. 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. Yeah! Oh, Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah, He's still alive. Still cookin'! Oh, Uncle Li--jiah, Uncle Lijiah, A hundred and five.Yeah! Oh Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah He's still alive. Still cookin', yeah! Oh Uncle Li--jiah, Uncle Lijiah, A hundred and five. |

I went to the window
To look for some memories we had But it seemed that the window Had lost all its meaning That's sad I gazed thru the window But things didn't look like before For the things I used to see I know I'll see them no more Some things may seem So unimportant and small But to the one's who love them most Like the trees they are tall For it was better that i first saw The things I most wanted in life And to see them again would alleviate all strife Now woman if you want me Then I'll want you I'll want you Woman if you'll have me Then I'll have you I'll have you I went to the window To look for some memories we had But it seemed that the window Had lost all its meaning That's sad I gazed thru the window But things didn't look like before For the things I used to see I know I'll see them no more |

There's a girl that I recall
In the hills of Arkansas Her eyes were green, her eyes were brown She had the prettiest eyes around Then we walked And the beauty of the land Times were and good and times were bad But times was one thing We both had. Sure was She turned me on to love that night She turned me on to what was right She turned me on to love that night She held me close. She held me tight So tight Oh lucky days and lovely nights We saw the beauty >From the mountainsides There came a fall There came a spring There came our love Can ya hear it sing Sure can Take a chance |

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 |
