My baby loves me, she gets a feeling so fine  
And when she love me, she makes me know that she’s mine  
And when she kisses, I feel the fire get hot  
She never misses, she gives it all that she’s got  
And when she asks me if everything is okay  
I got my answer, the only thing I can say  
I say yeh yeh, that’s what I say  
I say yeh yeh

Well, down the Mississippi down to New Orleans  
They got the honeysuckle growing on the honeysuckle vine  
And love is a-blooming there all the time  
You know every southern belle is a Mississippi Queen  
Down the Mississippi, down to New Orleans

Would you recognize Jesus if you met Him face to face?  
Or would you wonder if He’s just another one you could not place?  
You may not find Him coming in a chariot of the Lord,  
Jesus could be riding in a '49 Ford.

Some children see Him lily white,  
The baby Jesus born this night.  
Some children see Him lily white,  
With tresses soft and fair.

He came into the shop and looked me straight between the eyes  
And said “You know I’m Jesus”, and I must have looked surprised  
Because he said “Please don’t be hasty, no-one understands  
But I’ve got a way to prove it” and he lifted up his hands.

He was the man who called himself Jesus.

My song is love unknown,

My Savior’s love to me;

Love to the loveless shown,

That they might lovely be.

O who am I,

That for my sake

My Lord should take

Frail flesh, and die?

Flying back from Lubbock, I saw Jesus on a plane.

Jesus is my co-pilot  
Or that’s just what they  
But it’s not the savior  
Who guides me every day  
The soul that’s deep inside of me  
Once so clean and pure  
Now a festering sore  
A pain I can’t endure

I have stood here before  
Inside the pouring rain

Running 'round my brain  
I guess I’m always hoping  
That you’ll end this reign  
But it’s my destiny  
To be the king of pain

Nobody feels any pain  
Tonight as I stand inside the rain  
Everybody knows that baby’s got new clothes  
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows  
Have fallen from her curls
