Momma, he’s crazy,
Crazy over me…
And I’m crazy for loving you
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I’m crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I’m crazy for loving you.
Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees
And begged you not to leave
Because I’d go berserk?
Well you left me anyhow
And then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I’ve gone
Completely out of my mind
So keep on playing those mind games forever,
Doing the ritual dance,
Into the sun
And they’re coming to take me away ha-haaa
They’re coming to take me away ho-ho hee-hee ha-haaa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I’ll be happy to see those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they’re coming to take me away ha-haaa
I built my house from barley rice
Green pepper walls and water ice
Tables of paper wood, windows of light
And everything emptying into white.
A simple garden, with acres of sky
A Brown-haired dogmouse
If one dropped by
Yellow Delanie would sleep well at night
With everything emptying into white.
We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
Understand this,
I’m not looking for true Love tonight,
If you want to be my little baby,
You can meet me in the pale moonlight…
NM - forgot to refresh…
And I’m trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the night’s magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Come on home, girl Mama cried on the phone
Too soon to lose my baby yet, my girl should be at home
But try to understand, try to understand
Try, try, try to understand, he’s a magic man, Mama, ah
He’s a magic man
We’ve got magic to do
Just for you
We’ve got miracle plays to play
We’ve got parts to perform
Hearts to warm
Kings and things to take by storm
As we go along
You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You’re the one who can put out the fire
NM
Hush hush, sweet Charlotte
Charlotte, don’t you cry
Hush hush, sweet Charlotte
He’ll love you till he dies
And every night after he shall die
Yes every night when he’s gone
The wind will sing to you this lullaby
Sweet Charlotte was loved by John
That’s the night that the lights went out in Georgia
That’s the night that they hung an innocent man
Well, don’t trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
'cause the judge in the town’s got bloodstains on his hands
I said Georgia,
Ooh Georgia, no peace I find,
Just an old sweet song,
Keeps Georgia on my mind,
Georgia on my mind…
In my mind I’m gone to Carolina
Can’t you see the sunshine?
Can’t you just feel the moonshine?
Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind?
Yes, I’m gone to Carolina in my mind
Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning,
No one could be sweeter than my sweetie when I meet her in the morning…
