Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy  
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry  
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely  
Sunshine almost always makes me high

Sunshine came softly through my a-window today  
Could’ve tripped out easy but I’ve changed my ways  
It’ll take time, I know it but in a while  
You’re gonna be mine, I know it, we’ll do it in style

Take a little trip, take a little trip  
Take a little trip and see  
Take a little trip, take a little trip  
Take a little trip with me

She and I went on the run  
Don’t care 'bout re-lig-ion  
I’m gonna marry the woman I love  
Down by the Wexford border

She was Nancy Mulligan  
And I was William Sheeran  
She took my name, and then we were one  
Down by the Wexford border

Down by the Old Mill Stream where I first met you  
With your eyes of blue, dressed in gingham too  
It was there I knew that you loved me too  
You were sixteen, (you were sixteen)  
My village queen, (my village queen)  
By the Old Mill Stream

You come on like a dream  
Peaches and cream  
Lips like strawberry wine  
You’re sixteen, you’re beautiful and you’re mine (ooh, mine all mine)

Ten little dancing maidens, dancing oh so fine!  
Ten little happy fingers, and they’re mine, all mine!  
They’re mine, they’re mine!  
Oh, isn’t that just fine?  
Not three, not five, not seven, and not nine!

A little bit of Monica in my life, a little bit of Erica by my side  
A little bit of Rita is all I need, a little bit of Tina is what I see  
A little bit of Sandra in the sun, a little bit of Mary all night long  
A little bit of Jessica here I am  
A little bit of you makes me your man

Jessie is a friend  
Yeah, I know, he’s been a good friend of mine  
But lately something’s changed that ain’t hard to define  
Jessie’s got himself a girl and I want to make her mine

And she’s watching him with those eyes  
And she’s loving him with that body, I just know it  
Yeah, and he’s holding her in his arms late, late at night  
You know, I wish that I had  
Jessie’s girl

Jesse come home, there’s a hole in the bed  
Where we slept; now it’s growing cold.  
Jesse your face, in the place where we lay  
By the hearth, all apart, it hangs on my heart

Jessie paint your pictures  
About how it’s gonna be  
By now I should know better  
Your dreams are never free  
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea  
Oh Jessie you can always sell any dream to me  
Oh Jessie you can always sell any dream to me

It’s coming closer  
The flames are now licking my body  
Won’t you help me  
I feel like I’m slipping away  
It’s hard to breathe  
And my chest is a-heaving  
Lord, have mercy  
I’m burning a hole where I lay

Your kisses lift me higher  
Like the sweet song of a choir  
You light my morning sky  
With burning love  
With burning love

This red-hot emotion  
Puts fireworks in motion  
It looks like the 4th of July  
There’s no use in fighting  
This fire you’ve ignited  
Just stand back and watch the sparks fly  
Baby, I’m burnin’, out of control  
Baby, I’m burnin’, body and soul  
Hot as a pistol that’s flamin’ desire  
Baby, I’m burnin’, you got me on fire

Always took candy from strangers  
Didn’t wanna get me no trade  
Never want to be like papa  
Working for the boss ev’ry night and day

I need a love to keep me happy  
I need a love, baby won’t ya keep me happy  
Baby, won’t ya keep me happy  
Baby, please keep me

My mama was the cold North wind,  
My daddy was the son, of a railroad man from west of hell,  
Where the trains don’t even run……  
Never heard the whistle of a southbound freight,  
Or the singing of it’s driving wheel,  
No I, never did not wanderin’  
Never did not wanderin’  
Never did not wanderin’ after all

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end  
To be stuck inside of Mobile  
With the Memphis blues again
