Saturday night I was downtown Working for the FBI Sitting in a nest of bad men Whisky bottles piling high
Bootlegging boozer on the west side Full of people who are doing wrong Just about to call up the DA man When I heard this woman singing a song
A pair of 45's made me open my eyes My temperature started to rise She was a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5-9 beautiful tall With just one look I was a bad mess 'Cos that long cool woman had it all
I saw her heading to the table Well a tall walking big black cat When Charlie said I hope that you're able boy Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at Well then suddenly we heard a siren And everybody started to run Jumping out of doors and tables Well I heard somebody shooting a gun
Well the DA was pumping my left hand And she was holding my right Well I told her don't get scared 'Cos you're gonna be spared Well I'm gonna be forgiven If I wanna spend my living With a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5-9 beautiful tall With just one look I was a bad mess 'Cos that long cool woman had it all
(Sill) Sweet silver angels over the sea please come down flying low for me
One time I trusted a stranger 'cause I heard his sweet song And it was gently enticing me though there was something wrong When I turned he was gone
Blinding me his song remains reminding me he's a bandit and a heartbreaker Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker
chorus
He wages war with the devil a pistol by his side And though he chases him out my window and won't give him a place to hide He keeps his door open wide Fighting him he lights a lamp inviting him He's a bandit and a heartbreaker oh but Jesus was a crossmaker
chorus
I hear the thunder come rumbling the light never looked so dim I see the junction get nearer and danger's in the wind and either road's looking grim
Hiding me I flee desire's dividing me He's a bandit and a heartbreaker Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker Yeah but Jesus was a crossmaker
Saturday night I was downtown Working for the FBI Sitting in a nest of bad men Whiskey bottles piling high

A pair of 45's made me open my eyes My temperature started to rise She was a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5'9" beautiful tall With just one look I was a bad mess 'Cause that long cool woman had it all
Woo!
I saw her head up to the table With a tall walking big black cat Well, Charlie said "I hope that you're able, boy 'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at" When suddenly we heard the sirens And everybody started to run I jumped down and across the table When I heard somebody shooting a gun
Well, the DA was pumping my left hand And then she was a-holding my right Well, I told her "Don't get scared 'Cause you're gonna be spared"
Well I've gotta be forgiven If I wanna spend my living With a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5'9" beautiful tall Well, with just one look I was a bad mess 'Cause that long cool woman had it all Had it all, had it all Had it all, had it all Had it all, had it all
(Hicks / Lynch) Sipping at the wine I'm drinking all the time I'm drinking kinda slow And I'm hoping it won't go See when I get dry I just sit and cry over my baby Seems that in the past It was gonna last Somewhere it went wrong All the good times gone But I don't know why So I sit and cry over my baby
Well, now, yeah I thought that, I thought that If we could take it, we'd love each other so much We'd be sure to make it But oh baby oh my baby Look what we've got There's nothing at all
Thinking of the bad times Stretched out on my bed Images of you, girl Running through my head Wish that I could die So I lay and cry over my baby
(Sylvester) Sitting here alone Drinking from an empty can of beer Wishing you were here
Think I hear the bell Must be my imagination Hoping you'll appear
Are you feeling well Would you write a letter just to say Had a lovely day
I never realized How lonely I would be without you I guess I'll pull down the blind I've finished all the wine I guess I'll pull down the blind I feel I'm feeling fine
Had a busy day Brought in the milk And saw the folks next door Who could ask for more
Tomorrow leaves today I look at a photograph of you and me How's the family
I guess I'll pull down the blind I've finished all the wine I guess I'll pull down the blind I feel I'm feeling fine
(Hicks / Lynch) Next time I meet a girl, I won't ask her her name Or where she's been, or where she came from The last time I found love it only brought me pain The problems almost took me over
I was washing up for mother, I was lighting pipes for papa And fetching water And that's got nothing at all, that's got nothing at all To do with love
Next time I meet a girl I won't tell her my name Or where I've been Or where I came from
I'll take a hold of her And love her just the same No need to mention past acquaintances
I just want someone to love me And someone to like the presents That I bought her 'Cause that's got something to do Yes, that's got something to do To do with love
Each girl I meet comes up wronger And I can't take it all much longer No, I can't no
(Hicks / Lynch) Where where is the promised land Where where is the promised land It can't be found in Viet Nam It can't be where the eagle has landed If we want peace for every man We've gotta make the world demand it
Now I see the flag is flying We've got to help them stop the dying We must bring back the soldier boys We mustn't let them die for nothing War's a better game when played with toys Let's change the game and let's start loving
Soldiers never fight alone There's just as much fighting going on at home Protests, violence, marches It's all going on at home Bring them all back home (repeat)
(Sylvester / Clarke) I look to the east and I look to the west trying to find a place where there's rest You know where I go, you know it's the same show people turning their backs, not wanting to know
Look there son, you'll find hungry mouths saying please feed me well I'm only a child All around you'll find fallow ground but you can't plow a field with a hundred missiles
You know the score You know it's war Death and destruction We gotta change it now Lord only knows how to turn it into more
Where have all the rainbows gone Where where where My, oh God, says he's seen better days Where, where, where
Speak to me, Lord Speak to me, Lord Come on down with Your fiery sword Rid this place of all its hate Show Your face before it's too late
You know the score You know it's war Death and destruction Death and destruction
Death and destruction We gotta change it now Lord only knows how
It's over, well over In my mind and in my heart It's over, well over But then again, it didn't have a good start You'd tell me, try to sell me It could have been all I asked It's over, well over Yes, there it flows away a distant past Now it's a long, dark road Yes, it's a long, dark road And you know I loved you Yes, you know I loved you - 간 주 중 - Now it's a long, dark road Yes, it's a long, dark road And you know I loved you Yes, you know I loved you It's over, well over And we can't revive what's passed It's gone now, moved on now, But then again, it didn't have a chance to last (No, no, no, a chance to last) Now it's a long, dark road Yes, it's a long, dark road And you know I loved you Yes, you know I loved you Now it's a long, dark road Yes, it's a long, dark road
