7.She's On The Ball

Lyrics:Ray Charles
Music:Ray Charles

If you beg a date
She says, 'You're too late'
Then later, she gives you a call
Don't hesitate, you're in for a break
'Cause Jack, she's on the ball

If she winks at you
Don't you miss that cue
For this is no time for a stall
Man, call a hack, and get to your shack
'Cause Jack, she's on the ball

No use in her denying
You don't have to do much trying
Just remember this, when she gives you her kiss
Her heart, and soul, are pining

So remember Gates
It's never too late
If ever she starts 'n to stall
Just bait your trap, she'll fall just like that
'Cause Jack, she's on the ball

{solos}

No use in her denying
You don't have to do much trying
'Cause remember this, if she gives you her kiss
Her heart, and soul, are pining

So remember-gate
It's never too late
Whenever she starts 'n to stall
Just bait your trap, she'll fall just like that
'Cause Jack, she's on the ball
Mm, Jack, she's on the ball
(I'm tellin' you buddy)
Jack, she's on the ball
(Of course, if she's fine it's understood that)
Jack, she's on the ball


8.Sittin' On Top Of The World

Written:Bo Carter/Little Walter Jacobs

Worked all summer,
And all the fall
Had to take my Christmas
In overalls

Now she's gone,
And I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world

When I had you baby
You wouldn't treat me right
You stayed away
Both day and night

Now she's gone
And I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world

It's been days
when I didn't know your name
Why should I cry
Cry in vain

Now she's gone
And I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world


9.Can't You See Darlin'

Lyrics:Ray Charles

10.A Sentimental Blues

Lyrics:Rod Andre
Music:Rod Andre

A sentimental blues
Will worry you
And make you do
Things that you
Wouldn't do
Only when you
Hear these blues

A sentimental blues
Will wet your eye
You wonder why
You heave a sigh
You start to cry
Each time that you
Hear these blues

Sigh, sigh, sigh
And drool
Cry, cry, cry
You fool
Yes, I know that it's cool

A sentimental blues
Deep down inside
Will make you hide
Your foolish pride
A sentimental blues
Will make you lose
Your mind

{solos}

Sigh, sigh, sigh
And drool
Cry, cry, cry
You fool
Yes, I know that it's cool

A sentimental blues
Deep down inside
Will make you hide
Your foolish pride
A sentimental blues
Will make you lose
Your mind

14.I'm Movin' On

Lyrics:H.Snow
Music:H.Snow

That big eight-wheeler runnin' down the track
Means your true lovin' daddy ain't acomin' back
'Cause he's movin on, he's rollin on
You were flyin to high for my little ol' sky
So I'm movin' on

But some day baby when you've had you play
Your gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
Keep movin' on, keep rollin' on
You were flyin to high for my little ol' sky
So I'm movin' on. Move on baby.

Mr. Farmer won't you please listen to me
'Cause I gotta pretty momma in Tennessee
Keep rollin on, keep movin' on,
Please listen to me let this rattler free
And keep movin' on
Move on ol' son, move on

Well I told you baby from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
And now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
But I'm movin' on
Move on baby, move on
I said move on, I said move on,
I said move on, I said move on,
Well I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
I said move on, I said move on
I said move on, I said move on

Well, I've got a woman
Way cross town
She's good to me oh, yeah
Say. I've got a woman
Way cross town
She's good to me oh, yeah

She's here in the morning,
loving me
Yeah, she's a kind of friend to me

She says she love me early in the morning
Just for me
Oh, yeah you know she loves me
Oh, naturally

She's there to love me both day and night
No groans or fusses, treats me right
Never running in the street
Loving me alone
She knows a woman's place is around home at night

Well, she's my baby
And I'm her loving man

20.Georgia On My Mind

Written:Stuart Gorrell/Hoagy Carmichael

Georgia, Georgia,
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

I'm say Georgia
Georgia
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

I said Georgia,
Ooh Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

Georgia,
Georgia,
No peace, no peace I find
Just this old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

I said just an old sweet song,
Keeps Georgia on my mind
