Summertime

Summertime, time, time,
Child, the living's easy.
Fish are jumping out
And the cotton, lord,
Cotton's high, lord, so high.
Your daddy's rich
And your ma is so good-looking, baby.
She's looking good now,
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,
No, no, no, no, don't you cry.
Don't you cry!
One of these mornings
You're gonna rise, rise up singing,
You're gonna spread your wings,
Child, and take, take to the sky,
Lord, the sky.
Until that morning
Honey, n-n-nothing's going to harm you now,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

A Woman Left Lonely

A woman left lonely will soon grow tired of waiting,
Shell do crazy things, yeah, on lonely occasions.
A simple conversation for the new men now and again
Makes a touchy situation when a good face come into your head.
And when she gets lonely, shes thinking bout her man,
She knows hes taking her for granted, yeah yeah,
Honey, she doesnt understand, no no no no!
Well, the fevers of the night, they burn an unloved woman
Yeah, those red-hot flames try to push old love aside.
A woman left lonely, shes the victim of her man, yes she is.
When he cant keep up his own way, good lord,
Shes got to do the best that she can, yeah!
A woman left lonely, lord, that lonely girl,
Lord, lord, lord!

Nobody Knows You When Youre Down & Out

Well, once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money, no, I didnt care
Takin my friend john out for a mighty good time
Buyin high-priced liquor, champagne and wine.
Then I began to fall so low,
Didnt have a friend, nor no place to go.
If I get my hands on a dollar again
Im goin to hold on to it until the eagle grins.
Soon as I get back up on my feet again
Everybody wants to be my long-lost friend.
Its might strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when youre down and out.
Lord, soon as I get up on my feet again
Everybody wants to be my long-lost friend
Its mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when youre down and out.
Thats what I mean when youre down and out.

Blindman

Well, the blind man, he stood on the way and cried
Blind man, he stood on the way and cried
Blind man stood on the way and cried,
Crying, oh, show me the way, show me the way,
Show me the way, the way to go home.
My daddy stood on that-a way and cried
My daddy stood on that-a way and cried
Daddy stood on the way and cried,
Crying, oh, show me the way, show me the way,
Show me the way, the way to go home.
Now now now, the blind man, he stood on the way and cried
Blind man, he stood on the way and cried
Blind man stood on the way and cried,
Crying, oh, show me the way, show me the way,
Show me the way, the way to go home.
Show me the way, show me the way,
Show me the way, the way to go home.

Nobody Knows You When You Are Down And Out

Well, once I lived the life of a millionaire, spending my money, no, I didn't care
Takin' my friend John out for a mighty good time
Buyin' high-priced liquor, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low, didn't have a friend, nor no place to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm goin' to hold on to it until the eagle grins
Soon as I get back up on my feet again, everybody wants to be my long-lost friend
It's might strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
Lord, soon as I get up on my feet again, everybody wants to be my long-lost friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
That's what I mean, when you're down and out

Silver Threads & Golden Needles

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And Ill never drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine.
You cant buy my love with money, for I never was that kind,
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine.
Go ahead!
I dont want your golden mansions with a tear in every room,
All I wants the love you promised, beneath the halo moon.
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheatin game.
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And Ill never drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine.
You cant buy my love with money, for I never was that kind,
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine.
