1.Me And Mrs. Jones
Me and Mrs. Jones
We got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now
We meet every day at the same cafe
Six-thirty and no one knows she'll be there
Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
While the juke box plays our favorite songs
Me and Mrs. Jones
We got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now
We gotta be extra careful
That we don't build our hopes up too high
'Cause she's got her own obligations
And so do I
Me and Mrs. Jones
We got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now
Well, it's time for us to be leaving
And it hurts so much, it hurts so much inside
And now she'll go her way and I'll go mine
But tomorrow we'll meet
The same place, the same time
Me and Mrs. Jones
Same place
We both know that it's wrong
Same time
Every day at the same cafe
Same place
We got a thing going on
We know it's wrong
Same time
2.If You Don't Know Me By Now
If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me
All the things
That we've been through
You should understand me
Like I understand you
Now girl I know the difference
Between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothing
To break up our happy home
Don't get so excited
When I come home
A little late at night
Cos we only act like children
When we argue fuss and fight
If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me
We've all got our
Own funny moods
I've got mine,
Woman you've got yours too
Just trust in me like I trust in you
As long as we've been together
It should be so easy to do
Just get yourself together
Or we might as well say goodbye
What good is a love affair
When you can't see eye to eye
If you don't know me by now
You will never
Never never know me
3.Papa Was A Rolling Stone
It was the third of september
That day I'll always remember, yes I will
'cause that was the day that my daddy died
Never had a chance to see him, no
Never heard nothin' but bad things about him
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
Mama just hung her head and said
'papa was a rollin' stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died
All he left us was alone'
Hey, mama, is it true what they say
That papa never worked a day in his life
Some bad talk going around sayin'
Papa had there outside children
And another wife
That ain't right
Heard some talk about papa and his storefront
Preachin'
Talkin' about saving souls and all the time
Leaching
And dealing in dirt
Stealin' in the name of the lord
But mama she just said
'papa was a rollin' stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died
All he left us was alone'
Say, I heard my papa was a jack of all trades
Is that what sent papa to an early grave？
Folks say papa would beg, borrow or steal just
To pay his bills.
Hey, mama, folks say papa was never much on thinkin'
Spent most of his time chansin' women and drinkin'
But mother, I'm depending on you to tell me the
Truth
But my mama she just said
'papa was a rollin' stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died
All he left us was alone'
'papa was a rollin' stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died
All he left us was alone'
4.People Get Ready
People get ready
There's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear diesels humming
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord

People get ready
For the train to Jordan
Picking up passengers
From coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board them
There's room for all
Among the loved and lost
Now there ain't no room
For the hopeless sinner
Who's hard on mankind
Just to save his own(beleive me now)
Have pity on those
Whose chances are thinner
Cause there's no hiding place
From the Kingdom's Throne
So people get ready
There's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear diesels a- humming
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord

5.Georgia
Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
Georgia, Georgia, a song of you
Comes as sweet and clean
As moonlight through the pines

Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The roads leads back to you
Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find
Just and old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

7.New York State Of Mind

13.I Can't Stop Loving You
I can't stop lovin' you, so I've made up my mind
To live in memory of old lonesome times
I can't stop wantin' you, it's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
Those happy hours that we once knew
Though long ago, yeah they make me feel blue,
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart
I can't stop lovin' you, yes so I've made up my mind
To live in memory of old lonesome times
I can't stop wantin' you, it's so useless to say
So I'll just live my life, live my life in dreams of yesterday.
14.House Of The Rising Sun
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
Well it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know, I'm one
Well Mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Or you'll spend your life in sin and misery
In the house of the Rising Sun
Well there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
Well it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know, I'm one
