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

Fat Man:
	 
Fat man at the window 
Bet you know why 
Fat man at the window 
Nobody wants to buy 
Fat man, fat man, fat man 
Nobody wants to know him 
Fat man 

Fat man at the mirror 
Don't let it break easy 
Fat man at the mirror 
Got no heart to please 
Fat man, fat man, fat man 
Nobody wants to know him 
Fat man 

Nobody wants to talk to him 
Walk with him, be seen with him 
Nobody wants to speak to him 
Be with him, look like him 

Fat man at the window 
Bet you know why 
Fat man at the window 
Nobody wants to buy 
Fat man, fat man, fat man 
Nobody wants to know him 
Fat man 

Nobody wants to talk to him 
Walk with him, be seen with him 
Nobody wants to speak to him 
Be with him, look like him

Country Girl:
	 
You are a girl from the country 
Your eyes remind me of the sun 
You came to visit in the city 
And won the heart's of everyone 

You are a girl from the country 
Your hair is colored like the corn 
I have never been outside the city 
I am no friend to anyone 

Country girl won't you stay a while 
Won't you stay a while with me 
Country girl won't you stay a while 
Let me see you smile for me 

You are a girl from the country 
Before you came iwas alone 
Please say you'll take me to the country 
And let me share your country home 

Country girl won't you stay a while 
Won't you stay a while with me 
Country girl won't you stay a while 
Let me see you smile for me

Morning Dew:
	 
Walk me out in the morning dew 
Walk me out in the morning dew today 
I can't walk you out in no morning dew 
I can't walk you out in no morning dew at all 

Thought I heard a young girl cryin' mama 
Thought I heard a young girl cry today 
You never heard no young girl cryin' 
You never heard no young girl cry at all 

Thought I heard a young boy cryin' mama 
Thought I heard a young boy cry today 
You didn't hear no young boy cryin' buddy 
You never heard no young boy cry at all 

Thought I heard a young man cryin' mama 
Thought I heard a young man cry today 
You never heard no young man cryin' 
You never heard no young man cry at all 

Now there is no more morning dew 
Now there is no more morning dew 
What they've been sayin' all these years is true 
Now there is no more morning dew.

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

Top
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
