Lyrics

1. I PUT A SPELL ON YOU

I put a spell on you
Because you're mine.
You better stop
The things that you're doing.

I said "Watch out!
I aingt lying, yeah!
I aingt gonna take none of your
Fooling around;

I aingt gonna take none of your
Putting me down;
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine.
All right!


2. THE WORKING MAN

Well, I was born on a Sunday;
On Thursday I had me a job.
I was born on a Sunday; By
Thursday I was working out on the job.

I aingt never had no day off
Since I learned right from wrong.
Mama said I was bad, I did something to her head.
Mama said I was bad, I did something to her head.
And poppa threw me out, ooh, said,
"I gotta earn my own way."

[Chorus]
I aingt never been in trouble;
I aingt got the time.
I don't mess around with magic, child.
What I got is mine.

Whatever you say, Lord, well, that's what I'm gonna do.
Whatever you say, well, that's what I'm gonna do.
'Cause I'm the Working Man,
Lord, and I do the job for you.

[Chorus]

Every Friday, well, that's when I get paid.
Don't take me on Friday, Lord,
'cause that's when I get paid.
Let me die on Saturday night, ooh,
Before Sunday gets my head.

I like the way you talk,

You say that you'll be true,
You say that you'll be true,
You say that you'll be true,
Baby I love you, Susie Q.

You say that you'll be mine,
You say that you'll be mine,
You say that you'll be mine,
Baby all the time, Susie Q.

Oh Susie Q,
Oh Susie Q,
Oh Susie Q baby I love you,
Susie Q.

I like the way you walk,

4. NINETY-NINE AND A HALF

I got to have all your love, night and day.
Not just a little part, but all of your heart, sugar.

[Chorus]

Ninety-nine and a half just won't do.
Oh, no, no, just won't get it.

Don' t be led in the wrong direction.
To start this thing off right,
A man need a little love and affection,
Yes he do, now.

[Chorus]

All right. Lookie here,
We got to bring it all down, start getting it right.
We got to stop this messing around,
And keep the thing up tight,
Yes we do, now.

[Chorus]

All right, sugar.
Got to have a hundred,
Got to have a hundred.
All right.
Ooh, I must do, I must do,
I must do now.

Oh! Got to have a hundred!
Got to have a hundred!
Oh! Got to have a hu-hu-hu-hu-hu-hundred, too right.
Got to have a hundred, now. Oh!


5. GET DOWN WOMAN

Well, Get Down Woman, before I have to go.
Well, Get Down Woman, before I have to go.
You know, ya hurt me with your bad mouth,
An' I just don't wanna know.

Well, slow down, baby, and gimme a little time.
Well, slow down, baby, and gimme a little time.
If you want me hanging 'round,
Gotta give me some peace of mind.

Oh, get down boy.

Well, get back, woman, before you bring it down.
Well, now, get back, baby, before you bring it down.
Or you can tell it to the wall,
Without me hanging around.


6. PORTERVILLE

It's been an awful long time since I been home,
But you won't catch me going back down there alone.
Things they said when I was young
Are quite enough to get me hung.
I don't care! I don't care!

They came and took my Dad away to serve some time,
But it was me that paid the debt he left behind.
Folks said I was full of sin, because I was the next of kin.
I don't care! I don't care!

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!
I don't care! I don't care!

Folks were out one night to put me up a fence,
And you can guess that I've been running ever since.
Aingt no one that's 'bout to help,
And I'll keep on, I tell myself.
I don't care! I don't care!

I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!

Aingt no one that's 'bout to help,
And I'll keep on, I tell myself.
I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!


7. GLOOMY

Some people laugh in the dark,
Some people cry alone.
Some people talk without saying a thing,
And ev'rything turns out Gloomy.

Some people count your money,
Someone is counting your days.
And Somebody got to keep track of your mind.
When ev'rything turns out Gloomy.

Brothers'll make you look sideways,
Fathers'll make you look back.
And when you're done talking, you still got to shoot,
Cause ev'rything turns out Gloomy.

Ooooooh! Ooooooh


8. WALKING ON THE WATER

Late last night, I went for a walk,
Down by the river near my home.
Couldn't believe, with my own eyes,
And I swear I'll never leave my home again.

I saw a man walking on the water.
Coming right at me from the other side.
Calling out my name; "Do not be afraid."
Feet begin to run, pounding in my brain;
I don't want to go; I don't want to go.

No, no, no, no, no...
I don't want to go.

Mmmmmmm...
