Drop Dead Gorgeous
   
Totally out of control
She owns me
I didnt know that she'd know She stoned me
I think I got it bad and I cant let it go
I thought & youd be much better

All of the cashmere all orange & green
Shes naturally drop dead gorgeous
cleanly gardenia and black lessareen
shes naturally drop dead gorgeous
its so not fair

Completely inside my head imagine pretending
Shes the book that Ive read with a beautiful ending
It really drives me mad I cant leave her alone
cause I wont let me forget her

Rose colored glasses you know what that says
shes naturally drop dead gorgeous
Her sweet molasses on my slice of bread
shes naturally drop dead gorgeous

Totally out of control
She owned me

Sweet almond eyes just to see & be seen
shes naturally drop dead gorgeous
she tasted like cherries sweet loves grenadine
shes naturally drop dead gorgeous
Makes love like a rabbit to my velveteen
shes naturally drop dead gorgeous
a gem with a smile like a young norma jean
shes naturally drop dead gorgeous

Avant Garden
   
I had a friend who spoke of fate & he
knew of another place in space in time
he told of how me & my lady could look but we would never find said if you please I beg your pardon
sometimes the things you see they just aint so
you life can be an avant garden
cause loves what makes your garden grow

the sun leads the way the moon lights the sky
I see you & I lying in my Avant Garden
I dream of the day when our worlds collide
we wont be denied here inside our Avant Garden

Sometimes my life aint what it seeming
Right from the start its what your hearts believing
could all this just be lucid dreaming
but dreams aint just enough for me

the sun leads the way the moon lights the sky
I see you & I lying in my Avant Garden
I dream of the day when our worlds collide
we wont be denied here inside our Avant Garden

you know its just aint right
to deal with other shite
no one should ever be so broken hearted
dont ever be afraid cause when you got it made
yeah you dont even have to try

so i'll be waiting in your garden
watching all your flowers grow

the sun leads the way the moon lights the sky
I see you & I lying in my Avant Garden
I dream of the day when our worlds collide
you'll know we've arrived here inside our Avant Garden

the sun brings the rain the moon needs the sky
i see you & I lying in my Avant Garden
beware of the lies a word to the wise
there's sweet cherry pies
and truth inside our Avant Garden

Shame, Shame, Shame

Shame, Shame, Shame
   
(Brian Holland / Lamont Dozier / Edward Holland)

Well I tried to tell you baby
Running makes no sense
Now you got me baby
Up against this fence
And Ain't that a shame... shame shame
Shame... shame the way you do
Well it's a shame... shame shame
Oh it's a shame on you

Well now you walk out in the evening
Don't even say you're gone
6 o'clock in the morning
You come walking home

And ain't that a shame... shame, shame
Shame, shame the way you do
Oh it's a shame... shame... shame
Hey it's a shame on you

Well I be sittin' there waitin'
Listen everybody
Cryin' for you to come home
Especially you girls
When I wake up baby
Is it right to be left alone
I'm sittin' here all alone
While the one you love is never home

And ain't that a shame... shame... shame
I love too hard... my friends sometimes say
Shame... shame the way you do
But I believe... I believe that a woman should be loved that way
Well it's a shame... shame... shame
But it hurts me so inside to see her treat me so unkind
Oh it's shame on you
Somebody... somewhere tell her it's unfair

Eyesight To The Blind
   
(Sonny Boy Williamson)

You've talking about your woman
I wish to God... man... that you could see mine
You're talking about your woman
I wish to God that you could see mine
Every time the little girl start to loving... she bring eyesight to the blind
Lord... her daddy must been a millionaire... 'cause I can tell by the way she walk
Her daddy must been a millionaire... because I can tell by the way she walk
Every time she start to loving... the deaf and dumb begin to talk

I remember one Friday morning
We was lying down across the bed
Man in the next room a-dying... stopped dying and lift up his head
And said... Lord... ain't she pretty... and the whole state know she fin

Every time she start to loving... she bring eyesight to the blind
All right and all right... now
Lay it on me... lay it on me... lay it on me
Oh lordy... what a woman... what a woman

Yes... I declare she's pretty and the whole state knows she's fine
Man... I declare she's pretty... God knows I declare she's fine
Every time she starts to loving... whoo... she brings eyesight to the blind
I've got to get out of here... now... let's go... let's go... let's go now

Baby, Please Don't Go
   
(Big Joe Williams)

Baby please don't go
Baby please don't go
Baby please don't go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
I get you way'd out here and let you walk alone

Turn your lamp down low
Turn your lamp down low
Turn your lamp down low
I beg you all night long baby please don't go

You brought me way down here
You brought me way down here
You brought me way down here
'Bout to Rolling Forks you treat me like a dog

Baby please don't go
Baby please don't go
Baby please don't go back the New Orleans
I beg you all night long

Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
I get you way'd out here and let you walk alone

You know your man down gone
You know your man down gone
You know your man down gone
To the country farm with all the shackles on

Never Loved A Girl
   
[Originally "I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Loved You)" by Aretha Franklin]

You're a no good heartbreaker
You're a liar and you're a cheat
I don't know why I let you do these thing to me
My friends keep telling me that you ain't no good
They don't know that I would leave you if I could
I guess I'm on tight
And I'm stuck like glue
Cause I ain't never
I ain't never
I ain't never... no... no...
Loved a girl the way that I
I love you

Sometimes I know I thought
You would run out of fools
But I was so wrong
You got one that you'll never lose
The way you treat me is shame
How could you hurt me so bad
Baby you know that I'm the best thing that you ever had
Kiss me once again
Don't you never never say that we're through
Cause I ain't never
Never
Never no no
Loved a girl the way that I
I love you

I can't sleep at night I can't eat a bite
I guess I'll never be free
Since you got your hooks in me

I ain't never loved a girl
I ain't never loved a girl
Ain't never loved a girl that hurt me so bad
What am I gonna do about it
I tell you I'm gonna hold on to her
I'm gonna hold on to her

Back Back Train
   
(Mississippi Fred McDowell)

Well I look way down that lonesome road
Well I look way down that lonesome road
Way way down
Way way down
Way way down that lonesome road

I know that back back train will get'cha home
Back back train will get'cha home
Back back train
Back back train
Back back train will get'cha home... yeah

Well I thought I heard that church bell toll
I thought I heard that church bell toll
Told'chor lie
Told your lie
Told your lie somebody told me so... yeah

Huh hu hu...
Ho oh oh oh...

Well I'm goin' home on mornin' train... yeah

Back back train will take ya home

(Take me home... take me home)
Take me... take... awww... take me take me...

Huh hu hu... Ho oh oh oh...

Arrr... take me home...

You Gotta Move
   
(Mississippi Fred McDowell)

You gotta move
You gotta move
You gotta move... ch-ch-ch-child
You gotta move
Oh... when the Lord gets ready
You gotta move
You may be high
You may be low
You may be rich... child
You may be poor
But when the Lord gets ready
You gotta move


You see that woman... who walks the street
You see that police... upon his beat
But then the Lord gets ready
You gotta move
You gotta move
