You have your rules and regulations,
You say his love is my salvation,
Then talk of faith and segregation.
You say that I must wait,
He will communicate,
I will not join your congregation.

You force me into situations,
Preach bad of sin and fornication,
Forget your sworded celebration.
My heart fills up with rage.
Who are you to gauge
The purpose of my world's creation?

I cannot see the light your seeing,
I have my own thoughts to believe in,
I will not heed the words your hearing.
I will not be accused,
My liberty abused,
You chose the cross that you are bearing.

Y'want me to believe the word's you read
But I don't believe in what your good book says,
I just believe that when I'm dead, I'm dead.
You say I must repent,
Bow down and show respect,
I am a man and I will not be led.

Cat's eye, apple pie, what am I gonna do?
The woman I loved walked out on me.
What am I gonna do?
Hound dog, bullfrog, she just up and gone,
The woman I love has done me wrong.
What am I gonna do?
Green beans, black-eyed peas,
What am I gonna do?
The woman I love has let me down.
What am I gonna do?

She's a delta queen, you know what I mean,
As mean as wildfire lightnin',
She can win and break the heart of any man.
She's the delta queen of New Orleans,
And she loved me somethin' frightnin',
But she left me for a dollar wavin' man.

In my life there's places I've seen,
Places I've been in my life.
In my life there's things I have done,
Times I have won in my life.

Ships I have known,
Winds that have blown.

In my time were people who cared,
People who shared in my time.
Welcomed the good, accepted the bad,
Enjoyed what I had in my time.

People I've known
Times on my own

And now I'm growing old,
In memory I can hold
My picture-book unfolds and I
Can feel myself grow cold.

In my life there's times to forget,
Things to regret in my life.
May have done wrong but tried to do right,
I followed the light in my life.

Now the lights grow dim,
My days are closing in.

Woke up this morning,
My dog was dead.
Someone disliked him
And shot him through the head.

Woke up this morning,
My cat had died.
I know I'll miss her,
Sat down and cried.

Came home this evening,
My hog was gone.
People here don't like me,
I think I'll soon move on.

Now somethings happened
That would make a saint frown.
I turned my back and
My house burned down.

Called her name, but the wind blew strong.
I called in vain, though I tried so long.
Called the sea to bring her home,
But the sea don't hear and I'm still alone.
I feel an emptiness inside,
Something within me I can't hide.

Standing here looking at the sky,
But the light I see can't tell me why
I feel an emptiness inside,
Something within me I can't hide.

Every time I stop to think
That's the time I get lonely,
That's the time it hurts the most
Every time I get lonely.

What went wrong, who am I to blame?
Did I take too long to call her name?
I feel an emptiness inside,
Something within me I can't hide.

Sometimes I feel I've been hung on a line,
Wasting my time.
Sometimes I feel I've been hung upside down,
You turned me around, just a fool about you.

Sometimes I feel I've been left on the moon,
Fed with a spoon.
Sometimes I feel like a dog with no bone,
Or a toad with no stone, just a fool about you.

Sometimes I feel like saying goodbye
'Cause I'm living a lie.
Sometimes I feel like a clock with no time,
Or a verse with no rhyme, just a fool about you.

Sometimes I feel like a bird with no wing,
Or a bee with no sting.
Sometimes I feel like a train with no line,
Or a glass with no wine, just a fool about you.

Everybody knows I'm a fool about you,
Gonna fool, just a crazy fool.
Everybody knows I can't live without you,
So what am I gonna to do?

Love, now that you're gone,
I just can't carry on.
Love left a space,
I can't erase that face.
Love that I knew gone like the morning dew.
What will I do without her?

Love, where is she now?
I sit and think of how
She used to be
Happy to be with me.
Love that I knew gone like the morning dew.
What will I do without her?

(Without her...)

Love, left me for good,
I never thought she would.
Now I'm alone,
Wondering where she's gone.
Love that I knew gone like the morning dew.
What will I do without her?

Standing, watching a pale blue moon,
Rising slowly in the winter sky.
Waiting, hoping she'll be home soon,
And I won't ask her where or why.

As the evening shadows fall,
Madelaine, Madelaine,
I can hear the night wind call,
Call her name, Madelaine.

Turning slowly I hear her call
Echo softly through the silver pines.
Walking home the first snowflake falls,
Still she's always on my mind.

As the evening shadows fall,
Madelaine, Madelaine,
I can hear the night wind call,
Call her name, Madelaine.

Every song I sing's a sad song,
Every note seems out of key.
Every line I write falls out of rhyme,
Since you're far away from me.

Every night I watch the stars fall,
Watch them till I'm fast asleep.
But when I'm sleeping, I'm not dreaming, oh no,
Since you're far away from me.

Oh, but I need you,
Honest I do.
You know that I miss you,
I'll always miss you.

Every song I hear's a sad song,
Every word applies to me.
Loneliness is something I know about,
Since you're far away from me.

Mist upon the hill can remember murder,
Mist upon the hill that once flowed with blood
Helped to cover up an approaching army,
Hid the killing lust in the eyes of men.

Sitting by the fire was a sentry sleeping,
Rolled up in their beds were children that play,
Unsuspecting what was to fall upon them,
None of them would see the dawn next day.

Bloody were the blades that fell on children,
Hate the blinding light tried to kill a name,
The mountains only know all the souls that died there,
Glen Coe from that day can recall the shame.

The quiet of the night never gave them warning,
The silence of the hills wouldn't let them know,
They'd never rise again on a mist-filled morning,
Never see the sunrise above Glen Coe.

If you see my baby
With another man
Keep it a secret if you can.

If you see my baby
With another man
Don't tell me even if you can.

bridge:
You know, I could not stand the pain
So if you think you are my friend.

I hope you never see her
With another man
But if you do, don't you understand?

(lead)

(bridge)

She's everything I longed for
She took so long to find
But I'd be lost if she changed her mind.

If you see my baby
If you see my baby
If you see my baby
If you see my baby...
