Witchdoctor Woman: I'll make the stars fall out of the sky Make the seas and the rivers run dry There is nothing I can't do Lord I'll put my spell on you Praise the mountains down to the ground Make the clouds and the rain fall down There is nothing I can't do Lord I'll put my spell on you I'm your witchdoctor woman And I'm gonna put my spell on you I'm your witchdoctor woman Lord I got my mind on you I'll make the stars fall out of the sky Make the seas and the rivers run dry There is nothing I can't do Lord I'll put my spell on you I'm your witchdoctor woman And I'm gonna put my spell on you I'm your witchdoctor woman Lord I got my mind on you Praise the mountains down to the ground Make the clouds and the rain fall down There is nothing I can't do Lord I'll put my spell on you I'm your witchdoctor woman And I'm gonna put my spell on you I'm your witchdoctor woman Lord I got my mind on you |

Dear John: You came 'round today You never even knocked on my door Your note tried to say That you don't love me no more I want you by my side cause I wanna be your man I'm burning up inside cause I wanna be your man I had to be told From people that I meet in the street They are turning cold Without you I would not be complete I want you by my side cause I wanna be your man I'm burning up inside cause I wanna be your man Why did you write me in a letter A word from you would be much better I want you by my side cause I wanna be your man I'm burning up inside cause I wanna be your man Don't cast me aside Without you I could never survive Why did you decide To kill the love that keeps me alive I want you by my side cause I wanna be your man I'm burning up inside cause I wanna be your man |

Empty Arms, Empty Heart: Now you say you're leaving Leaving me without a friend How can you do what you're doing to me How can you say you want to be free of me Now you say it's over And your walkin' out my door Tellin' me you're going away for good Never coming back and I'll never see you again You left me here with my empty arms My empty rooms And my empty heart is crying Nothing is left for me now you're gone It just ain't right and I know it can't last I'm dying Now you say you're leaving Leaving me without a friend How can you do what you're doing to me How can you say you want to be free of me |

I Had A Dream: I had a dream I had a dream I saw the mission band, playing on the green It was the saddest thing, I have ever seen What did it mean, what did it all mean? And in my dream, in my same dream I saw the soldiers marching, on the green The band played a funeral march Many a tear was seen All in my dream, all in my dream I heard the lesson read, I heard the choir I saw the falling leaves, landing everywhere I saw the family gathered, crying in despair I was not there, I was not there |

Red Light Lady: Down at the house with the red light She works from seven til dawn You'll find her there any time that you like Some days a week she'll be on Down at the house with the red light I was a boy not to sure of myself When I was first taken down Down to the house with the red light Two miles west of town I paid my fee and I went on in Into the house with the red light Pull up a chair up the stairs The key was cold and dampened my hand Opened the door, heard her say 'into my room and set yourself down' She let us lie on this shiny brass bed Curtains and flowers in her hair She played my soul and she shattered my head Could not believe I was there Down at the house with the red light I fell in love with that lady First love I knew, she gave me Seven days a week, you can find her Down ay the house with the red light I fell in love with that lady |

The King Is Dead: I have not come to worship you Only flowers at your throne I have not come to plead or beg Or to claim what is my own Oh I know you are the king And you'll say what is wrong I have come to cut you down And to leave your body dead You do not mean so much to me Nor that crown upon your head You are just as sad as me You are lonely flesh and blood And the time has come for you to die And now you bleed, please spare my life You know I'm the chosen one I don't believe what you bequeth And I must do what must be done You say you're the only king Your words just fall like rain |

Friends: Just sit yourself down friend Pull up a chair friend There ain't nobody here friend But the people you need Roll yourself a joint friend Empty your head friend Make yourself at home friend This is where you belong Put your feet up on the fire If it makes you feel much better Have a glass of homegrown wine Don't you think it tastes fine Tear you away friend On a planet to space friend Faster than you can think friend You'll be there before you know |
