- A Whole Lotta Soul
What's the matter with the place we live in?
Did Mother Nature get it wrong?
A rusted delta in the name of changing
And dig it till it's dead and gone
Oh, what you gonna tell the children
What you gonna tell the trees
What you gonna tell the spirit
- Broke And Lonely
I done lost all my money
Now I'm about to lose my mind, oh yeah
I done lost all my money
Now I'm about to lose my mind yes, I am
Now seeing like my baby
I try to leave poor me behind
- Can't You See
You were my devotion
But now you're my emotion
Can't you see, can't you see
Oh, what you done to me?
You were my inspiration
But now you're my deviation
Can't you see, can't you see
- Cherry Tree Blues
When I first met you, babe
I was green as I could be
When I first met you, babe
Lord, I was green as I could be
And then you know, I let you in my garden
And you went straight for my cherry tree
You didn't touch my apples
- Come And Get It
The night ain't over, baby
I got a lot of shaking to do
Won't you come over, baby
I wanna dance with you
So put your arms around me
Baby, better hold on tight
Don't worry 'bout tomorrow
'Cause baby, I'm yours tonight
- Darkness
I'm walkin' slow with a weary mind
She's draggin' me low i'm fallin' behind
You got me where you want me
Still I keep on tryin'
Tryin' to see through the darkness
Between you and I
- Gone Too Long
Now everytime I ask you where you gone
You wave bye bye and you blow your horn
You been ridin' around in your Cadillac
It feels like you're never ever comin' back
You been gone too long
You been gone so long
You been a gone, forgone
- Her Mind Is Gone
If you got a woman you don't understand
Don't have to call a Doctor
Give her to another Man
Cause her Mind is Gone
Yeah, her Mind is Gone
When a women does your wrong
She won't do right no more
- In It To Win It
I was born in southeast delta
Me friends with the snakes and 'gators
I knew them all by name
My daddy was a driller
He did his job with pride
My mama was raising horses
- Let Love Take Control
Now if you ever want to be happy
You better find some, yeah that's right
And if you ever want love to turn your way
You'd better get some, aw yeah
If you want everybody to be your friend
You better get you some
Oh you know what I'm talking about
- Long Lonely Bayou
Well she was mine and I was fine back then
I tried to say how much I
Loved her till the end
And there were times I could've
Said what I want to
And now she's gone
And I'm the Long Lonely Bayou
- Medicine
I'm losing my mind, babe, the worse things happen I fear
Begging for mercy, there ain't no connection out here
I'm getting sick of these things that's going on
My fever's high, my nights are long
One more shot to do me in
Bring me my medicine
Bring me my medicine
- mother earth blues
You may holler at me all the time
You may never go my way
Mother Earth is life for you
'Coz there's a debt you got to pay
Don't care how great you are
Don't care what you were
When it all ends up
- Next To Me
You can travel over oceans
And around the world
You can follow every notion
That you can afford
And some day when you're feeling all alone
And your thoughts turn back to home
Let them stray back my way
I hope you know your home is
- Nice And Warm
I can't wait to get back home
Where the sun is always nice and warm
I can't wait to get back home
Where the sun is always nice and warm
You know, it's freezin' out here
And the howlin' wind sends a nasty chill
Through my bones
- Nothing Takes The Place Of You
I moved your picture from my wall
And I replaced them baby
Both large and small
And each new day oh finds me so blue
Because nothing
Nothing takes the place of you
I read your letter, oh baby one by one
And I still love ya, ya know I do
- Shelter Me
The Earth can shake, the sky come down,
the mountains all fall to the ground.
But I will fear none of these things,
shelter me Lord underneath your wings.
Dark waters rise and thunders pound,
the wheels of war are going round
and all the walls are crumbling
- Shining Moon
Don't that moon look pretty
Shining down through the trees?
don't that shining moon look pretty, baby
Shining down through the trees?
You know I could see my baby, Lord, Lord
When she don't see me
Sometimes she calls me her little boy
- Sunrise
I watch the sunrise alone again
And I'm beginning to think that
That's my only friend
You find me every day, keep me warm
Yes, that's the only thing I
Can always count on
With your eyes in the sky
- What I Live For
So you say that this is it
You're just gonna leave
And take away all the little things that I need
Now wait just one minute
It's my life, babe and I want you in it
You are, baby, you are what I live for
Now sometimes I get bitter
