Allman Brothers Band The Allman Brothers Lyrics
1.Black Hearted Woman

Black hearted woman
Can't you see your poor man dyin'
Can't count on both hands, babe
All the lonely nights I've been cryin'
Well I'm tired of all your slippery ways
I can't take your evil lyin'
Oh no
Black hearted woman
Cheap trouble and pain is all you play
Black hearted woman
Cheap trouble and pain is all you play
Some time thinking I'll be much better
If I was stiff down in my grave
No, I just can't stay
Yesterday I was your man
Now you don't know my name
Yesterday I was your man
Now you don't know my name
Well I'm going out to find a new way babe
Oh, to get back into your game
Yeah, yeah
One of these days
I'm gonna catch you with your back door man
One of these days, yeah
I'm gonna catch you with your back door man
I'll be moving on down the road, pretty baby
Oh, to start all over again
Oh yeah


2.Dreams

Just one more mornin'
I had to wake up with the blues
Pulled myself outta bed, yeah
Put on my walkin' shoes
Went up on the mountain
To see what I could see
The whole world was fallin'
Right down in front of me
chorus:
'Cause I'm hung up on dreams
I'll never see, yeah baby
Ah, help me baby
Or this will surely be the end of me, yeah
Pull myself together
Put on a new face
Climb down off the hilltop, baby
Get back in the race
chorus
Pull myself together
Put on a new face
Climb down off the hilltop, baby
Get back in the race
chorus


3.Every Hungry Woman

Yeah, sad eyed woman
Boogie 'til the break of dawn
Yeah, long a-bout the break of day, yeah
Oh, your man has up and gone
You got 13 lovely children
No proud father knocking at your door
Yeah, but every hungry woman
Has been in your place before
Yeah, the doctor keep calling
Woah, found you'd fallen
Yeah, you backed him in the corner
Oh, you're doing what you wanna
You got 14 lovely children
No proud father knocking at your door
Yeah, but every hungry woman
Has been in your place before
You got 15 lovely children
No proud father knocking at your door
Yeah, but every hungry woman
Has been in your place before
Yeah, the doctor keep calling
Woah, found you'd fallen
Yeah, you backed him in the corner
Oh, you're doing what you wanna
You got 16 lovely children
No proud father knocking at your door
Yeah, but every hungry woman
Has been in your place before
Oh, yeah
Sad eyed woman
Ohhhh


4.It's Not My Cross To Bear

Yeah, yeah, yeah
I have not come, yeah
To testify
About our bad, bad misfortune
And I ain't here a wond'rin' why
But I'll live on and I'll be strong
'Cause it just ain't my cross to bear
I sat down and wrote you a long letter
It was just the other day
Said, sure as the sunrise, baby
Tomorrow I'll be up and on my way
But I'll live on and I'll be strong
'Cause it just ain't my cross to bear
Oh no
Oh, but I'll live on and I'll be strong
'Cause it just ain't my cross to bear
Yes now baby
But in the end, baby
Long towards the end of your road
Don't reach out for me, babe
'Cause I'm not gonna carry your load
But I'll live on and I'll be strong
'Cause it just ain't my cross to bear
Yeah, yeah


5.Whipping Post

I been run down
Lord, I been lied to
And I don't know why
I let that mean woman make out a fool
She took all my money
Wrecked my new car
Now she's with one of my good-time buddies,
Drinkin' in some cross-town bar
Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like I been
Tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'
My friends tell me
That I been such a fool
But I got to stand there an' take it
All for loving you
Drown myself in sorrow
As I look at what you done
Nothin' seems to change;
That bad times stay the same,
And I can't run
Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like I been
Tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'

Don't care how long you go,
I don't care how long you stay,
It's good kind treatment,
Bring you home someday.
Someday baby, you ain't gonna trouble,
Poor me, anymore.
Now you keep on bettin',
That the dice won't pass.
Well i know, and i know,
Whoa, oh you're livin' too fast.
Someday baby, you ain't gonna trouble,
Poor me, anymore.
Yeah, i'll tell everybody,
In my neighborhood.
You're a kind little woman,
But you don't do me no good.
But someday baby, you ain't gonna trouble,
Poor me, anymore.
I know you're leaving,
If you call that's gone.
Oh without my lovin' yeah,
Oh, you can't stay long.
Someday baby, you ain't gonna trouble,
Poor me, anymore.
Well good bye baby,
Yeah well take my hand.

Who can't have no man.
But someday baby, you ain't gonna trouble,
Poor me, anymore. trouble no more.
