There’ll be laughing, singing, and music swinging,
Dancing in the street.
Philadelphia, P.A.
Baltimore and D.C. now.
Can’t forget the Motor City.
I was bruised and battered, I couldn’t tell what I felt.
I was unrecognizable to myself.
Saw my reflection in a window and didn’t know my own face.
Oh brother are you gonna leave me wastin’ away
On the streets of Philadelphia.
Oh, Philadelphia freedom,
Shine on me,
I love you
Shine the light through the eyes of the ones left behind…
Shine the light
Shine the light
Weave, weave, weave me the sunshine out of the falling rain
Weave me the hope of a new tomorrow, fill my cup again
If only I could heal your sorrow
Shine on me again
I’d help you to find your new tomorrow
Shine on me again
It’s just a state of mind, freedom and time has got me frozen up inside
I wanna recognise under this moonlight that God is on my side
With senses running wild we touched the sky, it looks like Heaven in my eyes
Moonlight medicine keeps me alive, don’t let your senses be denied
Won’t you shine, some light in my mind
The more I find, the more I need your medicine in my life
Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people Look back and lament
Another day’s useless Energy spent
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young
Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight
Red is grey and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an Illusion?
You gotta look sharp
You gotta look sharp
And you gotta have no illusions
Just keep going your way looking over your shoulder
I looked back to see if you looked back
And you looked back to see if I looked back
To see if you looked back to see if I was looking at you
Hey good lookin’?
Whatcha got cookin’?
How’s about cookin’ up something good with me…?
Won’t you come home, Bill Bailey, won’t you come home
I’ve moaned the whole night long
I’ll do the cookin’, honey, I’ll pay the rent
I know I done you wrong
You remember that rainy evenin’
I threw you out…with nothin’ but a fine tooth comb
Ya, I know I’m to blame, now… ain’t it a shame
Bill Bailey, won’t you please come home
She’s a witch of trouble in electric blue,
In her own mad mind she’s in love with you.
With you.
Now what you gonna do?
Strange brew, kill what’s inside of you.
She’s some kind of demon messing in the glue.
If you don’t watch out it’ll stick to you.
To you.
What kind of fool are you?
Strange brew, kill what’s inside of you.
Strange as it now seems
Of zombie voodoo gris gris
And the witch-queen of New Orleans
She lived in a magic possessed
By the devils skew
From a shack near the swamp lands
Made of mud be brick
Marie stirred her witches brew
Come on everybody, take a trip with me,
Well, down the Mississippi down to New Orleans.
They got the honeysuckle’s bloomin’ 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.
Good morning, America how are you??
Don’t you know me? I’m your native son,
I’m the train they call 'The City of New Orleans,
I’ll be gone 500 miles when the day is gone…
I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked 1000 miles to fall down at your door
In the heavens, stars are dancing
And the mountain moon is new,
What a rare night for romancing,
Mind if I make love to you?
Since the dear day of our meeting
I’ve wanted to tell you all I long to do,
Dawn is nearing, time is fleeting,
Mind if I make love to you?
Baby, if I think about you
Think about love…
Darlin’ if I live without you
I live without love…
And if I had the sun and moon
They were shinin’…
I would give you both night and day
Love satisfyin’…
Feel like makin’
Feel like makin’ love
Feel like makin’ love
Feel like makin’ love
Feel like makin’ love to you
Night and day
Under the hide of me
There’s an oh such a hungry
Yearnin’ burnin’ inside of me
And it’s torment won’t be through
'Til you let me spend my life
Making love to you
Day and night
Night and day
You know the night time, darling (night and day)
Is the right time (night and day)
To be (night and day)
With the one you love, now (night and day)
I’m not content to be with you in the daytime
Girl, I want to be with you all of the time
The only time I feel alright is by your side
Girl, I want to be with you all of the time
All day and all of the night
