Texas Flood lyrics

Well now sittin' here so lonely....Feelin' oh so blue
My baby's tryin' to mistreat me and I don't know what to do
So I'm cryin'....Why do I have to feel this way
If I can't love my baby....I can't live another day

Yeah I've loved her for such a long time...To end it all this way
Sittin' here so lonely....Tears be fallin' just like rain
So I'm cryin'....Why do I have to feel this way

Well you've heard about love givin' sight to the blind
My baby's lovin' cause the sun to shine
She's my sweet little thang....She's my pride and joy
She's my sweet little baby....I'm her little lover boy

Yeah I love my baby....Heart and soul
Love like ours won't never grow old
She's my sweet little thang....She's my pride and joy
She's my sweet little baby....I'm her little lover boy

Well I'm love struck baby I must confess
Life without you darlin' is a solid mess
Thinkin' 'bout you baby give me such a thrill
I gotta have you baby....Can't get my fill
I love ya baby an' I know just what to do

I still remember....and let it be said
The way you make me feel it take a fool to forget
I swore a ton of bricks had hit me in the head

Well you’ve heard about love givin’ sight to the blind
My baby’s lovin’ cause the sun to shine
She’s my sweet little thang....she’s my pride and joy
She’s my sweet little baby....i’m her little lover boy

Yeah I love my baby....heart and soul
Love like ours won’t never grow old

Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman

If you drive a car, I'll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.

Well now tell me....What in the world can be wrong
I said tell me....What in the world can be wrong
Woke up this mornin'....Trouble knockin' at my door

I wonder what's the trouble....Great big troubles at my door
I wonder what's the trouble....Great big troubles at my door
Yes I'm goin' up to Macon....Don't wanna be here no more

I'd better forget it...Let this trouble pass

Mary had a little lamb
It's fleece was white as snow, yeah
Everywhere the child went
The little lamb was sure to go, yeah
He followed her to school one day
And broke the teachers rule
What a time did they have
That day at school

Tisket! Tasket! baby
A green and yellow basket
Sent a letter to my baby
On my way I past it

True love is gone....I's been played for a fool
True love is gone....I's been played for a fool
I'm turnin' the tables on you
You've been playin' dirty pool

You said you'd call the shots darlin'....All your friends thought that was cool...so cool baby
You said you'd call the shots darlin'....All your friends thought that was so cool

Went down to Tin Pan Alley....See what was going on
Things was too hot down there....Couldn't stay very long
Hey hey hey hey....Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the people down there....Livin' for their whisky, wine, and gin

I heard a woman scream....Yeah and I peeked through the door
Some cat was workin' on Annie with a....Lord with a two-by-four
