Baby when you walk that sweet walk,
You walk it good.
Yes you walk it good.
Baby when you talk that sweet talk,
Oh it sounds so good.

With a little bit of concentration,
And a little bit of hold my hand,
And a little bit of raving madness,
You know it makes me feel,
Both my feet are back on the ground.

And when the rythm takes me,
It feels so good,
Oh so good.
Maybe if it keeps a-shaking,
It will do you good.

With a little bit of stop-a-shaking,
And a little bit of fly right down,
And a little bit of sweet con carne,
It makes me feel,
I got my feet on the ground.

Now baby when you move it makes me,
Really feel so good,
Oh so good.
And I'm so glad,
And I'm good.

With a little bit of concentration,
And a little bit of helping hand,
And a little bit of saving madness,
You know it makes me feel,
I'm back on the ground.

It feels so strange to be at the door,
Trying hard to change but can't let go.
Crying tears of pain and more and more,
Everyday is the same as the one before.

I'm walking the floor over you.

Every heart that breaks is a heart that's gold,
To the hand that takes your dream that's sold.
Is it long to wait? Is it much too late?
Sometimes it's hard when you wanted the pain.

You know it's hard,
I said it's hard,
You know it's true.
I said it's hard,
You know it's hard,
You know it's true.

Every tear that falls the smile is gone.
When you hear the call can you count the cards?
Can you stand alone? Do you want [????]?
Can you step aside does it matter now?

Every love that's shared [????] away.
Can't hide in the light for the heart [????].
Every day of [????].
She was smiling a tear and her waters fall.

I'm walking the floor over you.

Every tear that falls the smile is gone.
When you hear the call can you count the cards?
Can you stand alone? Do you want [????]?
Can you step aside does it matter now?

And I don't care what they do.

I was a young man I couldn't resist.
Started thinking it all over just what I had missed.
Got me a girl and I kissed her and then,
Whoops oh lord well I did it again.
Now I got ten children of my own.
I got another child on the way that makes eleven.
But you know I'm in constant heaven.
I know it's all right in my mind.
I got a little schoolgirl and she's all mine.
I can't get through to her because it doesn't permit.
But I'm gonna give her everything I've got to give.

Oh Rosie,
Oh, girl.

I've been to London,
Seen seven wonders,
I know to trip is just to fall.
I used to walk it,
Sometimes I'd roll it,
I always knew what it was for.

There can be no denying,
That we'll really shake em down.
And the flag we're flying,
Is the new flag of the land.
If we could just join hands.
If we could just join hands.
If we could just join hands.

Converse the planet,
When heaven send me,
I saw the kings who rule them all.
Still by the firelight,
And purple moonlight,
I hear the rusting rivers call.

And the wind is crying,
Of a love that won't grow cold.
My lover she is lying,
On the dark side of the globe.
If we could just join hands.
If we could just join hands.
If we could just join hands.

You got me rocking when I ought to be alone,
Darling come on tell me darling which way to go.
You keep me rocking baby then you keep me spinning,
Won't you tell me darling which way to go.

Oh how I wonder,
Oh how I worry,
And I would dearly like to know.
I always wonder,
If earthly plunder,
Will leave us anything to show.

And our time is flying,
See the candle burning low.
Is the new world rising,
From the shambles of the old?
If we could just join hands.
If we could just join hands.
If we could just join hands.

Oh baby it's crying time,
Oh baby I got to fly.
Got to try to find a way,
Got to try to get away.
Cause you know I gotta get away from you.

Oh baby, the river's red,
Oh baby, in my head.
There's a funny feeling going on.
I don't think I can hold out long.

And when the owls cry in the night,
Oh baby baby, when the pines begin to cry.
Baby baby baby how do you feel.
If the river runs dry baby,
How do you feel.

Craze baby the rainbow's end,
Mmm baby it's just a den for those who hide.
Who hide their love to depths of life,
And ruin dreams that we all knew so babe.

And when the owls cry in the night,
And baby when the pines begin to cry,
Oh baby baby how do you feel.
If the rivers run dry baby,
How do you feel.

When I done quit hollering baby,
I believe I shake 'em on down.
Get my baby, won't be late,
You know by that I mean seconds late,
Must I shake 'em on down.
Well I've been mistreated babe,
I believe I'll shake 'em on down.

Well I ain't no monkey,
I can't climb no tree.
No brown skin woman gonna make
No monkey out of me.
I ain't no monkey,
I can't climb no tree.
I been mistreated babe,
I believe I'll shake 'em on down.
Well I've been mistreated babe,
I believe I'll shake 'em on down.

Put on your night shirt mama,
We gonna shake 'em on down.
We're both gonna shake 'em on down.
Well I've been mistreated babe,
I believe I'll shake 'em on down.

Gave my baby a twenty dollar bill.

I'm sure my shot gun will.
I gave my baby a twenty dollar bill.

I'm sure my shot gun will.

I can't quit you babe.
So I think I'm gonna put you down for a while.
I can't quit you babe.
I think I'm gonna put you down for a while.
I said you messed up my happy home.
Made me mistreat my only child.

You know I love you babe.
My love for you I could never hide.
You know I love you babe.
My love for you I could never hide.
When I feel you near me little girl,
I know you are my one desire.

When you hear me moaning and groaning babe,
You know it hurts me deep down inside.
When you hear me moaning and groaning babe,
You know it hurts me deep down inside.
When you hear me, You know you're my one desire.

I was burned in the heat of the moment,
No, it could've been the heat of the day.
When I learned how my time had been wasted,
Dear fellows I turned away.
Now I've got friends who will give me the shoulder,
When I should happen to fall.
The timing is right, now I'm older.
I've got friends who will give in before I fall.

Corner of bleaker and nowhere noway,
In the land of not quite day.
A shiver runs down my backbone,
Face in the mirror turns grey.
So I looked around for a hitch from a raindeer,
Said you oughtta find him out in the day.
I turned around to look for the snowman,
To my surprise he'd melted away yeah.

The moon and the stars fill the order,
As the tide tends to ebb and sway.
The sun in my soul's sinking lower,
While the hope in my hands turns to clay.
I don't ask that my feet fall on clover,
I don't roam at opportunity's door.
Why don't you ask my advice, take it slower,
Let your story will be your finest reward.

Lost on the path to attainment,
Search in the eyes of the wise.
When I bled from the heart of the matter,
I started bleeding without a disguise.
Now everything's finally happened,
Now and then you've got to take time to pause.
[????] down on the ground and you're messing with [?????],
If you land in a boat without oars.

Hey babe, hey babe, hey babe,
I lost my way.
Hey babe, hey babe,
I really, really did now.
Hey babe, hey babe,
I don't know where I'm gonna find it.
Hey babe, hey babe,
Do you wanna know,
Do you really really wanna help me yeah?

Let me tell you now babe,
Let me tell you,
That is fells so good that it must be right.

Now my babe,
Let me tell you,
That it feels so good that it must be right.

Now my babe,
Let me tell you,
If it feels so good.

With a purple umbrella and a fifty cent hat,
Living, loving, she's just a woman.
She's going aroung town in her aged Cadillac,
Living, loving, she's just a woman.

Come on babe on the round about,
Ride on the merry-go-round.
We all know what your name is,
So you better lay your money down.

One time love,
Take care how you use it,
Try to make it last all night.
And if you take your pick,
Be careful how you choose it,
Sometimes it's hard to feel it bite.
Feel it bite.

A man who I know,
Went down to Louisiana,
Had himeself a bad, bad fight.
And when the sun peeks through,
Shines down on [????],

How come twenty four hours,
Baby sometimes seem to slip into day.
Oh twenty-four hours,
Baby sometimes seem to slip into day.
When a minute seems like a lifetime,
Ooh baby when I feel this way.

Sittin lookin at the clock,
Oh time moves so slow.
I've been watchin for the hands to move,
Until I just can't look no more.

How come twenty four hours,
Baby sometimes slip into day.
A minute seems like a lifetime,
Baby when I feel this way.

To sing a song for you,
I recall you used to say.
Oh baby this one's for me to you,
Which in the end is you anyway.

How come twenty four hours,
Baby sometimes slip into day.
A minute seems like a lifetime,
Oh baby when I feel this way.

There was a time that I stood tall,
In the eyes of other men.
But by my own choice I left you,
And now I can't get back again.

How come twenty four hours,
Sometimes slip into day.
Well well well,
A minute seems like a lifetime,
Baby when I feel this way.
A minute seems like a lifetime,
Oh baby when I feel this way.
