She said she was
A magic mama
And she could throw a mean tarot
And carried on without a comma
That she was someone I should know
(is that a real poncho… I mean
Is that a mexican poncho
Or is that a sears poncho?
Hmmm… No foolin…)
Dark lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music till her brew was done
Dark lady played back magic till the clock struck on the twelve
She told me more about me than I knew myself
I’ve got a black magic woman,
I’ve got a black magic woman,
I’ve got a black magic woman,
Got me so blind I can’t see,
That she’s a black magic woman,
She’s trying to make a devil out of me.
Raven hair and ruby lips
Sparks fly from her finger tips
Echoed voices in the night
She’s a restless spirit on an endless flight
You’ve painted up your lips
And rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating
Going out somewhere
The shadow on the wall
Tells me the sun is going down
Oh Ruby
Don’t take your love to town
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you’ll wait for me,
Hold me like you’ll never let me go.
‘Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane,
Don’t know when I’ll be back again,
Oh babe, I hate to go.
Going through security
I held her for so long
She finally looked at me in love,
And she was gone
I was born to wander
And it’s time for movin’ on
I was born to wander
Turn around and I’ll be gone, gone, gone
I’ve been wandering early and late
From the New York City to the Golden Gate,
And it don’t look like I’ll ever stop my wandering.
No, it don’t look like I’ll ever stop my wandering.
Never heard the whistle of a southbound freight,
Or the singing of it’s driving wheel,
No I, never did no wanderin’
Never did no wanderin’
Never did no wanderin’ after all
Stay back home where you belong -
The ones who live above us don’t know right from wrong.
Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner,
But he knew it wouldn’t last,
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona,
For some California grass.
Get back, get back,
Get back to where you once belonged…
We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words we’ve both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
We belong, we belong, we belong together
Together again
Gee, it’s good to be together again
I just can’t imagine that you’ve ever been gone!
It’s not starting over, it’s just going on!
It’s been so long since we took the time,
No-one’s to blame, I know time flies so quickly,
But when I see you darling,
It’s like we both are falling in love again,
It’ll be just like starting over…
If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I’d like to do
Is to save every day
'Til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
Longneck Bottle,
Let go my hand…
A bottle of red, a bottle of white
It all depends upon your appetite
I’ll meet you any time you want
In our Italian Restaurant
La-la-la-lasagna
You want-a some-a lasagna magnifico
Or a-maybe spaghetti
Ay, you supper’s a-ready now, where you go
Mama mia bambino
