The Boll Weevil Song




Transcriber's note: all words are spoken EXCEPT those in which are sung.

Let me tell ya a story about a boll weevil
Now, some of you may not know, but a boll weevil is an insect. And he's found
mostly where cotton grows. Now, where he comes from, hm, nobody really knows.
But this is the way the story goes.

The farmer said to the boll weevil "I see you're on the square" Boll weevil said to the
farmer "Say yep! My whole darn family's here"

The farmer said to the boll weevil "Say, why do you pick my farm?" The weevil just
laughed at the farmer 'n' said "We ain't gonna do ya much harm"

And the boll weevil said to the farmer, said " Farmer, I'd like to wish you well."
Farmer said to the boll weevil, "Yeah, an' I wish that you were in ****" (Ahh, you have a home all right, you have a home> (A real hot
home, ahhh

The Ties That Bind




Knowing you stand by me through good and bad
Makes all the difference in my life
And day by day, sweetheart, I find
These are the ties that bind

The little things you do that please me so
Aww, the way you always understand
When simple joys bring peace of mind
These are the ties that bind

You're all I need to see me through
Can I say more than this, my love?
I live just for your kiss, my love
I live just for your kiss, my love

Forever and a day, my love will live
Mmm, the flame of love will never die
So heart and soul please say you're mine
Held by the ties that bind

(These are the ties that bind)

Think Twice



Think twice before you answer
Think twice before you say "Yes"
I'm asking you if you love me true
'cause you're my happiness

Take your time, think it over
Think twice, then let me know
If you don't feel that your love is real
Tell me, although you'll hurt me so

Funny how a word can mean everything
That's why I want you to talk to me
To hear you say my name I'd give anything
Only you can decide what my future will be

Think twice before you answer
Think twice, whatever you do
A love as strong as mine can stand the test of time
Think twice of the one who loves you

Too Late To Turn Back Now


You don't know how much you hurt me
When you broke our precious vows
But I can't stop loving you
I know it's too late to turn back now

Though I said "Go-o on, be happy, bless you child"
I thought you could guess somehow
My secret heart was sayin'
"Man, it's too late to turn back now"

Was I a fool from the start
Building castles in the skies?
Or did I just dream I saw heaven
Shining in your eyes?

If you knew how much I love you, yes I do
Oh, my darling, your heart would bow
Mmm, yes, you'd know, you'd know why I have said
"It's too late to turn back now"

(Too late to turn back now)
Yes, I love you
(Too late to turn back now)

Two Tickets To Paradise



Money, I ain't got none
Problems, I sure got some
But I got two tickets to paradise
Dontcha wanna go ?

Sadness all round
Gladness just can't be found
But I got two tickets to paradise
Dontcha wanna go with me?

Everything I did was wrong, the day was dark as night
But I found a girl whose love was strong, now everything's all right
(All right!, all right!)

I got to hurry, my bag is packed
I'm leavin' and I ain't comin' back
'cause I got two tickets to paradise
Oh, now dontcha wanna go with me?

The first stop, we'll take a walk
Second stop, we'll have a talk
The third stop
Ooh-ee!, you better go with me

Everything I did was wrong, my days were dark as night
But I found a girl whose love was strong, now everything's all right
(All right!, all right!)

I got to hurry, my bag is packed
I'm leavin' and I ain't comin' back
'cause I got me two tickets to paradise
Now don't you want to go with me?

The first stop, we'll take a walk
Second stop, we'll have a talk
The third stop
Ooh-ee!, dontcha wanna go with me?

Now don't you want to go with me?
Be my guest, come on and go with me

Walk On the Wild Side


Sinner, hear what I'm sayin'
Sinner, you've been swingin', not prayin'
One day of prayin' and six nights of fun
The odds against goin' to heaven, six-to-one

You walk on the wild side, the Devil is waitin'
He's waitin' to take your hand
You walk on the wild side, you're walkin' with Satan
Away from the Promised Land
One day of prayin' and six nights of fun
The odds against going to heaven, six-to-one

You better cross over, you better walk humble or you're gonna stumble
And Satan is waitin' to take your hand
You walk on the wild side, you walk on the wild side
Away from the Promised Land
One day of prayin' and six nights of fun
The odds against going to heaven, six-to-one

The odds against going to heaven six-to-one
