Lyrics


1. HOLD ON, I'M COMIN'

Well don't you ever be sad
Lean on me when times are bad
When the day comes and you're in doubt,
In a river of trouble, about to drown.

Hold on, I'm coming.
Hold on, I'm coming.

I'm on my way, your lover
When you get cold, yeah, I'll be your cover
Don't have to worry because I'm here.
Don't need to suffer because I'm here.

Chorus Twice

Reach out to me for satisfaction.
Call my name, quick reaction.

Well don't you ever feel sad
Lean on me when times are bad
When the day comes and you're in doubt,
In a river of trouble and about to drown.


2. IN THE MIDNIGHT HOUR

I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumbling down
I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
When there's no one else around
I'm gonna take you girl and hold you
Do all things I told you
In the midnight hour
Yes I am, whoa, yes I am

I’m gonna wait 'til the stars come out
See them twinkle in your eyes
I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
That's when my love begins to shine
You're the only girl I know
Really love you so
In the midnight hour

I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumbling down
I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
That's when my love begins to shine
Just you and I, oh baby, just you and I


3. SHE CAUGHT THE KATY

She caught the Katy
And left me a mule to ride
She caught the Katy
And left me a mule to ride
Now my baby caught the Katy
Left me a mule to ride
The train pulled out
I swung on behind
Crazy 'bout her
That hard headed woman of mine

Man, my baby's long
Great gosh almighty my baby's tall
You know my baby's long
Great gosh almighty my baby's tall
Yeah my baby she's long
My baby she's tall
She's sleepin' with her head in the kitchen
And her feet's out in the hall
Crazy 'bout her
That hard headed woman of mine

Well I love my baby
She's so fine
But I wish she'd come and see me some time
She don't believe in our love, ah
Look whatta hole I'm in
She don't believe what I'm sayin'
Kid look whatta shape I'm in
Huh-huh

She caught the Katy
And left me a mule to ride
She caught the Katy
And left me a mule to ride
Well my baby caught the Katy
Left me a mule to ride
The train pulled out
I swung on behind
Crazy 'bout that hard headed woman
Hard headed woman of mine
Huh-huh, huh-huh


4. THE THRILL IS GONE

The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong baby
And you'll be sorry someday

The thrill is gone
It's gone away from me
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although I'll still live on
But so lonely I'll be

The thrill is gone
It's gone away for good
Oh, the thrill is gone baby
Baby its gone away for good
Someday I know I'll be over it all baby
Just like I know a man should

You know I'm free, free now baby
I'm free from your spell
I'm free, free now
I'm free from your spell
And now that it's over
All I can do is wish you well

7. KNOCK ON WOOD

I don't want to lose you, this good thing
That I got 'cause if I do
I will surely,
Surely lose a lot.
'Cause your love is better
Than any love I know.
It's like thunder and lightning,
The way you love me is frightening.
You better knock, knock on wood, baby.

I'm not superstitious about ya
But I can't take no chance.
I got me spinnin', baby,
You know I'm in a trance.
'Cause your love is better
Than any love I know.
It's like thunder and lightning,
The way you love me is frightening.
You better knock, knock on wood, baby.

It's no secret about it,
That woman is my loving cup
'Cause she sees to it
That I get enough.
Just one touch from here,
You know it means so much.
It's like thunder and lightning,
The way you love me is frightening.
You better knock, knock on wood, baby.

You better knock, knock, knock on wood ...


8. RAISE YOUR HAND

If there's something you need
That you just don't have
Well just don't sit there
Feeling bad
Come on now get up
Try and understand
Just raise your hand

Baby here I am
You know I'm standing in line
I wanna give you my love
Please let me try
Come on now get up
Try and understand
Just raise your hand


9. PETER GUNN THEME

Every night your line is busy,
All that buzzin' makes me dizzy.
Couldn't count on all my fingers
All the dates you had with swingers.
Bye-bye.
Bye, baby.
I'm gonna kiss you goodbye
And walk right through that doorway.
So long.
I'm leaving.
This is the last time we'll meet
On the street going your way.
Don't look surprised
You know you've buttered your bread.
Now it's fair
You should stare
At the back of my head.
If you write a letter to me
My former friend
Don't you end
With an R.S.V.P.

11. HEY BARTENDER

I went balling the other night
I started drinking and got real tight
I blew each and all my friends
I felt so good I had to blow it again

I said Hey bartender
Hey man, looka here
A draw one, draw two, draw three, four glasses of beer

Well I saw a chick sitting on the end
I said Baby can't we be friends
You're looking sweet as you can be
Well come on down and drink with me

I said Hey bartender
Hey man looka here
Draw one, draw two, draw three, four glasses of beer

I looked at the clock and it was half past four

Hey bartender
Hey man look a here
A draw one, draw two, draw three, four glasses of beer

Well jukebox girl is everything
All the cats began to sing

Draw one, two, three, four glasses of beer

14. GREEN ONIONS

All right people.
The rest of the hard working all star blues brothers are gonna be out here in a minute,
Including my little brother jake. but right now,
I’d like to talk a little bit about thi
E you’re hearing. this is ofcourse the green onions tune. It was a very big hit in the Early sixties in this country.
And ofcourse it was composed and recorded in memphis, Tennessee, right here
E united states of america.
You know, people,
I believe that this tune can be acquinted
With the great classical music around the world.

Now you go to germany, you’ve got your bach, your beethoven, your brahms...
Here in america you’ve got your fred mcdowell,
Your irving berlin, your glenn miller,
And your booker t and the mg’s
Ple. another example of the great contributions in music And culture that this country Has made around the world. And as you look around the world today,
You see this country spurned.

You see backs turned on this country. well people,
I’m gonna tell you something, this continent, north america,
Is the stronghold! this is where we’re gonna make our stand in this decade! yeah,
E, I’ve got something to say to the state department.
I say take that archaic monroe doctrine,
And that marshall plan that says we’re supposed to police force the world,
And throw ’em out! let’s
Home for the next ten years people!
Right here in north america
And enjoy the music and culture that is ours.
Yeah, I got one more thing to say.

I’m just talking about the music, people,
And what it does to me.
And that is, as you look around the world,
You go to the soviet union or great britain or france,
You name it, any country... ev
Dy is doing flips and twists just to get into a genuine pair of american blue jeans!
And to hear this music and we got it all here in america,
The land of the chrysler 440 cubic inch engine!
