Cherry Oh Baby lyrics

Cherry oh, Cherry oh, baby,
Don't you know I'm in need of thee?
If you don't believe it's true,
What have you left me to do?
So long I've been waiting,
For you to come right in.
And now that we are together,
Please make my joy run over.
[Chorus:]
Oh oh ee oh oh ee oh,
Oh oh ee oh ee oh ee oh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
Cherry, oh, Cherry, oh, baby,

Keep on Moving lyrics

[Chorus:]
Lord I gotta keep on moving.
Lord I gotta get on down.
Lord I gotta keep on moving.
Where I can't be found
Law is coming after me.
I've been accused of a killing
Lord knows I didn't do
For hanging me they are willing yeah
That's why I gotta get on through.
Law is coming after me.
[Chorus]
I've got two boys and a woman
They're just gonna suffer now.
Lord forgive me for not going back

Please Don't Make Me Cry lyrics

You say you are going to leave me
I'm begging you to stay
My baby I can't get through any way
No I can't
And when I wake up in the morning
You are gone
Little pretty thing
You know I'll be all alone
[Chorus:]
You'll hear me crying (mmmmmmm)
Please don't make me cry (mmm mmmm)
'cos I can't say good-bye (mmmmm)
Please don't make me cry
Because I know
There will be nothing left for me

Sweet Sensation lyrics

I can feel those thrill's walking over
When you hold me tight
Now I feel those pains aching over
When you say goodnight
[Chorus:]
Oh what sweet sensation
Lord what strange devotion
You've got love and devotion
And I won't forget your charm
Now there's nothing left for me to say girl
But stay in your world
You've got so much soul deep inside girl
And love that's richer than gold

Johnny Too Bad lyrics

Walking down the road
With a pistol in your waist
Johnny you're too bad
Walking down the road
With a ratchet in your waist
Johhny you're too bad
[Chorus:]
You're just robbin' and stabbin'
And lootin' and shooting
You're too bad repeat
One of these day's
When you hear a voice say come,
Where you gonna run to?
One of these day's
When you hear a voice say come,
where you gonna run to?
[Chorus]

Red, Red Wine lyrics

Red, red wine
Go to my head
Make me forget that I
Still need her so
Red, red wine
It's up to you
All I can do, I've done
But memories won't go
No, memories won't go
I'd have thought
That with time
Thoughts of you
Would leave my head
I was wrong
And I find
Just one thing makes me forget
Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearin' apart
My blue, blue heart

Guilty lyrics

Well hello baby
Come sit down, make your self comfortable
Tell me somthing, how long have we known each other?
About ten months huh?
Say what's that on your finger? An engagement ring?
So you and John are getting engaged, huh?
You know he's a mighty lucky guy
Should be proud to have a woman like you
Listen, I've got something to tell you
Don't think I'm getting fresh or anything like that

She Caught the Train lyrics

Another night of loneliness.
My love is gone
She made a fuss and she was wrong,
yet she is gone
I asked her friends if they'd seen her
They said she'd take the train
I ran to catch the train,
Oh my, the train is gone
Another night of loneliness.
My love is gone
She made a fuss and she was wrong,
yet she is gone
I ran to catch the train,
Oh my, the train is gone

Version Girl lyrics

[Chorus:]
Version Girl, what's your name?
Oh you come and you go,
Version Girl, what's your name?
Just like the morning sun.
It's so hard to find a personality with charms like yours for me.
oo-ee oo-ee oo-ee
Version girl, what's your name?
Don't you know I long to say.
Version Girl, what's your name?
It's so hard to find a personality with charms like yours for me
oo-ee oo-ee oo-ee

Many Rivers to Cross lyrics

Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost as I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross and it's only my will
That keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years and,
I merely survive because of my pride.
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left and she didn't say why

Kingston Town lyrics

The night seems to fade,
But the moonlight lingers on
There are wonders for everyone
The stars shine so bright,
But they're fading after dawn
There is magic in Kingston Town

Oh Kingston Town,
The place I long to be
If I had the whole world
I would give it away
Just to see, the girls at play
Ooh, ooh, ooh

And when I am king,
surely I would need a queen

Johnny Too Bad lyrics

Walking down the road
With a pistol in your waist
Johnny you're too bad
Walking down the road
With a ratchet in your waist
Johhny you're too bad
[Chorus:]
You're just robbin' and stabbin'
And lootin' and shooting
You're too bad repeat
One of these day's
When you hear a voice say come,
Where you gonna run to?
One of these day's
When you hear a voice say come,
where you gonna run to?
[Chorus]

Here I Am (Come And Take Me) lyrics

I can't believe that it's real
The way that you make me feel
A burning deep down inside
A love that I cannot hide

I know it's you and me babe
That makes the world go round
Ah keeping you in love with me baby
Laying all my troubles down

[Chorus:]
Here I am babe, come and take me
Here I am babe, wont ya come and take me
Take me by the hand, ooh show me
Here I am babe, oooooaaah
