LET MY PEOPLE GO (CAPO 2 F#m)
When Israel was in Egypt land
Let my people go!
Oppressed so hard they could not stand
Let my people go!
So the God said: go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt land
Tell all pharaoes to
Let my people go!
So moses went to Egypt land
Let my people go!
He made all pharaoes understand
Let my people go!
Yes the lord said: go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt land
Tell all pharaoes to
Let my people go!
Thus spoke the lord, bold Moses said:
-let my people go!
if not I'll smite, your firstborn's dead
-let my people go!
God-the lord said : go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt land
Tell all pharaoes to
Let my people go
PERSONAL JESUS
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there
Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
HEY YA (E7)
My baby don't mess around
Because she loves me so
This I know fo sho!
But does she really wanna
But can't stand to see me walk out the door
Don't try to fight the feeling
Because the thought alone is killin' me right now
Thank God for Mom and Dad
For sticking to together
Like we don't know how
Hey ya! Hey ya!
You think you've got it
Oh, you think you've got it
But got it just don't get it when there's nothin' at all
We get together
Oh, we get together
But separate's always better when there's feelings involved
Know what they say -its
Nothing lasts forever!
Then what makes it, then what makes it
Then what makes it, then what makes it
Then what makes love the exception?
So why, oh, why, oh
Why, oh, why, oh, why, oh
Are we still in denial when we know we're not happy here
Hey ya! HEY YA
WAYFARING STRANGER (capo 3 Cm)
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling thru this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright world to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm justgoing over home
I know dark clouds will gather around me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep
I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
WILL THE CIRCLE (capo 4 C#)
I was standing by my window
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
There's better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Lord, I told that undertaker
"Undertaker, please drive slow
For this body you are hauling
Lord, I hate to see her go"
Then I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave
Went back home, Lord, my home was lonely
Now my mother she has gone
All my brothers, sisters crying
What a home, so sad and lone
A LIFE THATS GOOD
Sitting here tonight, by the fire light
It reminds me I already have more than I should.
I don't need fame, no one to know my name.
At the end of the day, Lord I pray
I have a life that's good.
Two arms around me
Heaven to ground me
And a family that always calls me home.
Four wheels to get there.
Enough love to share and a
Sweet, sweet, sweet song.
At the end of the day, Lord I pray
I have a life that's good.
Sometimes I'm hard on me,
When dreams don't come easy
I wanna look back and say I did all that I could.
At the end of the day, Lord I pray
I have a life that's good.
SUMMERTIME
Summertime
and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich
and your ma is good lookin'
So hush, little baby,
don't you cry
One of these mornings
You gonna rise up singin'
Yes, you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
Mm, but 'til that morning
There is nothin' can harm you
Yes, with daddy and mommy
standin' by
DELIAH GONE
Delia, oh, Delia
Delia all my life
If I hadn't shot poor Delia
I'd have had her for my wife
Delia's gone, one more round
Delia's gone
I went up to Memphis
And I met Delia there
Found her in her parlor
And I tied her to her chair
Delia's gone, one more round
Delia's gone
She was low down and trifling
And she was cold and mean
Kind of evil make me want to
Grab my sub machine
Delia's gone, one more round
Delia's gone
First time I shot her
I shot her in the side
Hard to watch her suffer
But with the second shot she died
Delia's gone, one more round
Delia's gone
But jailer, oh, jailer
Jailer, I can't sleep
'Cause all around my bedside
I hear the patter of Delia's feet
Delia's gone, one more round
Delia's gone
So if your woman's devilish
You can let her run
Or you can bring her down and do her
Like Delia got done
Delia's gone, one more round
Delia's gone
SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET
Grab your coat and grab your hat baby
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Just direct your feet
On the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear that pitter-pat there?
That happy tune is yours now
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade
With those blues on parade
But I'm not afraid, baby
My rover, crossed over
If I never have a cent
I'll be rich as Rockefeller
With gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street
FRESH
Conversation is going 'round
People talking 'bout the girl who's come to town
Lovely lady, pretty as can be
No one knows her name she's just a mystery
I have seen her
Maybe once or twice
One thing I can say
Ooh, she's very nice
She's a lady
One I really want to know
Somehow I've got to let my feeling show
She’s fresh so fresh exciting
She's so exciting to me
(She's fresh, fresh) exciting
She's so inviting to me, yeah
I've been thinking about the way you walk
Baby I like the way you talk
Tell you something I really can't hide
Heaven must have sent you to be by my side
Fresh and lovely
Like a dream come true
I'll give anything to spend the night with you
What a feeling and I can't stop it baby
Miss frisky lady take me away
Fresh as a summer breeze
She'll take you by surprise
She means so much to me
I'll do whatever
To make her mine, baby
LITTLE BOXES
Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky
Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes all the same
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same
And the people in the houses
All went to the university
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same
And there's doctors and lawyers
And business executives
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same
And they all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis dry
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same
And the boys go into business
And marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same
There's a pink one and a green one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same
HOME OF THE BLUES
Just around the corner there's heartache
Down the street that losers use
If you can wade in through the teardrops
You'll find me at the home of the blues
I walk and cry while my heartbeat
Keeps time with the drag of my shoes
The sun never shines through this window of mine
It's dark at the home of the blues
Oh, but the place is filled with the sweetest memories
Memories so sweet that I cry
Dreams that I've had left me feeling so bad
I just want to give up and lay down and die
So if you just lost your sweetheart
And it seems there's no good way to choose
Come along with me misery loves company
You're welcome at the home of the blues
IT AINT ME BABE
Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want, babe
I'm not the one you need
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who's never weak but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
Go lightly from the ledge, babe
Go lightly on the ground
I'm not the one you want, babe
I will only let you down
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who will promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes for you
Someone to close his heart
Someone who will die for you and more
Go melt back in the night
Everything inside is made of stone
There's nothing in here moving
And anyway I'm not alone
You say you're looking for someone
Who'll pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
And to come each time you call
A lover for your life and nothing more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
I WAS THE WHEN IT HAPPEN
There are some people who say we cannot tell
Whether we are saved or whether all is well
They say we only can hope and trust that it is so
Well, I was there when it happened and so I guess
I ought to know
Yes, I know when Jesus saved me,
(saved my soul)
The very moment He forgave me,
(made me whole)
He took away my heavy burdens
Lord, He gave me peace within, (peace within)
Satan can't make me doubt it, (I won't doubt it)
It's real and I'm going to shout it, (I'm going to
shout it)
I was there when it happened
And so I guess I ought to know
I don't care who tells me salvation is not real
Though the world may argue, that we cannot feel
The heavy burden's lifted and the vile sins go
I was there when it happened and so I guess I
ought to know
I FLY AWAY
Some glad morning when this life is over
I'll fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh, Glory
I'll fly away
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away
Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joy shall never end
I'll fly away
ST JAMES INFIRMARY
I went down to the St. James Infirmary
Saw my baby there
She was stretched out on a long, white table
So cool, so sweet, so fair
Let her go, let her go
God bless her
Wherever she may be
She can search this whole wide world over
She won't ever find another man like me
When I die, bury me a straight laced shoes
A box backed suit and a Stetson hat
Put 20 dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys'll know I died standin' pat
BAMBINO
Bambino, bambino
Ne pleure pas, bambino
Les yeux battus
La mine triste et les joues blêmes
Tu ne dors plus
Tu n'es que l'ombre de toi-même
Seul dans la rue
Tu rôdes comme une âme en peine
Et tous les soirs sous sa fenêtre on peut te voir
Je sais bien que tu l'adores
Et qu'elle a des jolis yeux
Mais tu es trop jeune encore
Pour jouer les amoureux
Et gratta, gratta sur le tuo mandolino
Mon petit bambino
Ta musique est plus jolie
Que tout le ciel de l'Italie
Et canta, canta de ta voix câline
Mon petit bambino
Tu peux chanter tant que tu veux
Elle ne te prend pas au sérieux
Avec tes cheveux si blonds
Tu as l'air d'un chérubin
Va plutôt jouer au ballon
Comme font tous les gamins
Tu peux fumer comme un monsieur des cigarettes
Te déhancher sur le trottoir quand tu la guettes
Tu peux pencher sur ton oreille ta casquette
Ce n'est pas ça, que dans son cœur, te vieillira
L'amour et la jalousie
Ne sont pas des jeux d'enfant
Et tu as toute la vie
Pour souffrir comme les grands
Et gratta, gratta sur le tuo mandolino
Mon petit bambino
Ta musique est plus jolie
Que tout le ciel de l'Italie
Et canta, canta de ta voix câline
Mon petit bambino
Tu peux chanter tant que tu veux
Elle ne te prend pas au sérieux
Si tu as trop de tourments
Ne le garde pas pour toi
Va le dire à ta maman
Les mamans c'est fait pour ça
Là, blotti dans l'ombre douce de ses bras
Pleure un bon coup, et ton chagrin s'envolera
FOLSOM PRISON BLUES
I Hear The Train A-Comin'; It's Rollin' 'Round The Bend,
And I Ain't Seen The Sunshine Since I Don't Know
When,
I'm Stuck At Folsom Prison And Time Keeps Draggin'
On.
But That Train Keeps A-Rollin'
On Down To San Antone.
When I Was Just A Baby, My Mama Told Me. Son,
Always Be A Good Boy; Don't Ever Play With Guns.
But I Shot A Man In Reno Just To Watch Him Die.
When I Hear That Whistle Blowin'
I Hang My Head And Cry.
I Bet There's Rich Folks Eatin' In A Fancy Dining Car.
They're Prob'ly Drinkin' Coffee And Smokin' Big Cigars,
But I Know I Had It Comin', I Know I Can't Be Free,
But Those People Keep A-Movin',
And That's What Tortures Me.
Well, If They Freed Me From This
Prison, If That Railroad Train Was Mine,
I Bet I'd Move On Over A Little Farther Down The Line,
Far From Folsom Prison, That's Where I Want To Stay,
And I'd Let That Lonesome Whistle
Blow My Blues Away.
JOSHUA
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
Jericho, Jericho,
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
And the walls came tumblin' down.
You may talk about your kings of Gideon,
You may talk about your men of Saul,
There's none like good old Joshua
At the battle of Jericho.
Up to the walls of Jericho,
He marched with spear in hand.
"Go blow those ram horns",
Joshua cried,
"'Cause the battle is in my hand".
Then the lamb, ram, sheep horns
Began to blow,
Trumpets began to sound,
Joshua commanded the children to shout,
And the walls came tumblin' down.
That morning
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
Jericho, Jericho,
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
And the walls came tumblin' down.
COCAINE BLUES
Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down
I went right home and I went to bed
I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head
Got up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun
Took a shot of cocaine and away I run
Made a good run but I ran too slow
They overtook me down in Juarez Mexico
Late in the hot joints takin' the pills
In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill
He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown
You're the dirty heck that shot your woman down
Said yes, oh yes my name is Willy Lee
If you've got the warrant just a-read it to me
Shot her down because she made me slow
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more
When I was arrested I was dressed in black
They put me on a train and they took me back
Had no friend for to go my bail
They slapped my dried up carcass in that county jail
Early next mornin' bout a half past nine
I spied the sheriff coming down the line
Ah, and he coughed as he cleared his throat
He said come on you dirty heck into that district court
Into the courtroom my trial began
Where I was handled by twelve honest men
Just before the jury started out
I saw the little judge commence to look about
In about five minutes in walked the man
Holding the verdict in his right hand
The verdict read in the first degree
I hollered Lawdy Lawdy, have a mercy on me
The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen
99 years in the Folsom pen
99 years underneath that ground
I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down
Come on you've gotta listen unto me
Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be
CRY RY CRY
Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes
down
I think you only live to see the lights of town
I wasted my time when I would try, try, try
Cause when the lights have lost their glow, you'll cry,
cry, cry
Soon your sugar-daddies will all be gone
You'll wake up some cold day and find you're alone
You'll call for me but I'm gonna tell you: "Bye, bye,
bye!"
When I turn around and walk away, you'll cry, cry, cry
You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll cry alone
When everyone's forgotten and you're left on your
own
You're gonna cry, cry, cry
I lie awake at night to wait 'til you come in
You stay a little while and then you're gone again
Every question that I ask, I get a lie, lie, lie
For every lie you tell, you're gonna cry, cry, cry
When your fickle love gets old, no one will care for
you
Then you'll come back to me for a little love that's
true
I'll tell you no and then you'll ask me: "Why, why,
why?"
When I remind you of all of this, you'll cry, cry, cry
You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll want me then
It'll hurt when you think of the fool you've been
You're gonna cry, cry, cry
BLACK ORPHEUS
TRAVAILLER CEST TROP DUR
Travailler, c'est trop dur et voler c'est pas beau
Demander la charité, c'est quelque chose j'peux pas faire
Chaque jour que moi je vis, on me demande comment je vis
Je dis que j'vis sur l'amour et j'espère de vivre vieux
Moi je prends mon violon, et j'attrape mon archet
Et je joue ma vieille valse pour faire mes amis danser
Vous connaissez, mes chers amis, la vie est bien, bien trop
courte
Pour se faire des misères, allons danser ce soir
Travailler, c'est trop dur et voler c'est pas beau
Demander la charité, c'est quelque chose j'peux pas faire
Chaque jour que moi je vis, on me demande comment je vis
Je dis que j'vis sur l'amour et j'espère de vivre vieux
Moi je fais la musique c'est presque tous les soirs
Traîner tout partout et puis chanter dans le whisky bar
Y a des fois tu connais, j'aimerais lâcher et puis m'en aller
Mais je suis revenu ce soir pour le plaisir d'chanter
Travailler, c'est trop dur et voler c'est pas beau
Demander la charité, c'est quelque chose j'peux pas faire
Chaque jour que moi je vis, on me demande comment je vis
Je dis que j'vis sur l'amour, et j'espère de vivre vieux
COUNTRY ROAD
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads
SUNNY
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain.
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain.
The dark days are gone, and the bright days are
here,
My Sunny one shines so sincere.
Sunny one so true, I love you.
Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet.
Sunny, thank you for the love you brought my way.
You gave to me your all and all.
Now I feel ten feet tall.
Sunny one so true, I love you.
Sunny, thank you for the truth you let me see.
Sunny, thank you for the facts from A to C.
My life was torn like a wind-blown sand,
And the rock was formed when you held my hand.
Sunny one so true, I love you.
Sunny, thank you for the smile upon your face.
Sunny, thank you for the gleam that shows its grace.
You're my spark of nature's fire,
You're my sweet complete desire.
Sunny one so true, I love you.

YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.
I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me and love another,
You'll regret it all some day:
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But not you've left me and love another;
You have shattered all of my dreams:
In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me
When I awake my poor heart pains.
So when you come back and make me happy
I'll forgive you dear, I'll take all the blame.

WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS (capo 4)
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
And what a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer
I SAW TH LIGHT(capo 7)
I wandered so aimless life filled with sin
I wouldn't let my dear Savior in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
Just like a blind man I wandered alone
Worries and fears I claimed for my own
Then like the blind man that God gave back
his sight
REFRAIN
I was a fool to wander and stray
Straight is the gate and narrow's the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
YOUR MAN (capo1)
Baby, lock the door and turn the lights down low
And put some music on that's soft and slow
Baby, we ain't got no place to go
I hope you understand
I've been thinking 'bout this all day long
Never felt a feeling quite this strong
I can't believe how much it turns me on
Just to be your man
There's no hurry, don't you worry
We can take our time
Come a little closer, let's go over
What I had in mind
REFRAIN
Ain't nobody ever love nobody
The way that I love you
We're alone now
You don't know how long I've wanted to
JACKSON (capo6)
We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout,
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson
Ever since the fire went out.
I'm goin' to Jackson, I'm gonna mess around,
Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson,
Look out Jackson town.
Well, go on down to Jackson; go ahead and wreck your health.
Go play your hand you big-talkin' man, make a big fool of yourself,
Yeah, go to Jackson; go comb your hair!
Honey, I'm gonna snowball Jackson.
See if I care.
When I breeze into that city, people gonna stoop and bow. (Hah!)
All them women gonna make me, teach 'em what they don't know
how,
I'm goin' to Jackson, you turn-a loosen my coat.
'Cos I'm goin' to Jackson.
"Goodbye, " that's all she wrote.
But they'll laugh at you in Jackson, and I'll be dancin' on a Pony
Keg.
They'll lead you 'round town like a scalded hound,
With your tail tucked between your legs,
Yeah, go to Jackson, you big-talkin' man.
And I'll be waitin' in Jackson, behind my Jaypan Fan.
Well now, we got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout,
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out.
I'm goin' to Jackson, and that's a fact.
Yeah, we're goin' to Jackson, ain't never comin' back.
