Paroles
It was way past midnight
And she still couldn't fall asleep.
This night the dream was leaving
She tried so hard to keep.
And with the new day's dawning
She felt it drift away.
Not only for a cruise
Not only for a day
Too long ago, too long apart
She couldn't wait another day for
The captain of her heart.
As the day came up, she made a stop.
She stopped waiting another day for
The captain of her heart.

Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this, mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this, my mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
I went walking the other day and
Everything was going fine
Met a little boy named Billy Joe
And then I almost lost my mind
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this, my mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this, my mama said
And then she said someone would look at me
Like I'm looking at you someday
Then I might find
I don't want you any old way but I don't worry 'causre
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this, my mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this, my mama said
My eyes are wide open
But all that I can see is
Chapel bells a-tollin'
For everyone but-a me but I don't worry 'cause
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this, my mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this, my mama said
don't you worry
(Mama said, mama said, hey, hey) don't you worry, now
(Mama said, mama said, hey, hey)
(Mama said, mama said, hey, hey) mama said there'll be days like this
(Mama said, mama said, hey, hey) there'll be days like this, my mama said
(Mama said, mama said, hey, hey) mama said there'll be days like this
(Mama said, mama said, hey, hey) there'll be days like this, my mama said
(Mama said, mama said, hey, hey) don't you worry
Paroles
Since you came into my life
It's the same old situation
Empty days and lonely nights
Filled with bitterness and frustration.
Walking lonely in the cold
Trying to find the answer
Spend my money on a crystal ball
And the charms of a gypsy dancer
Trying to break the spell you hold on me.
You're miss misery
That song you lay on me
Set me free, set me free
Please, please, please.
Every day is filled with shame
My nights are filled with anger
Hollow lies, forced denial
If you told the truth I can't remember.
You know, I've got to find my way
Got to find a reason
Got to find your weakness
So I can end your witchin' season
Got to break this spell you hold on me.
Lead
Can't think how I got myself
Caught up in this nightmare
Evil schemes, midnight screams
Come on somebody listen to my prayer.
I'd give all I've got to give
Just to find my way out
Got it goin' but I can't let go
I'm trapped on this crazy roundabout
Tryin' to break this spell you hold on me.
Paroles
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don't go
Baby, your man done gone
Well, your man done gone
Well, your man done gone, left the county farm
He had his shackles on
Baby, please don't go
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog to get you way down here
I make you walk alone
Baby, please don't go
Hey
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don't go
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog get you way down here
Make you walk alone
Baby, please don't go
Know how I feel right now
My baby leavin', on that midnight train
And I'm cryin'
Baby, please don't go
Oh, baby please don't go
Baby, please don't go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don't go, yeah
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog to get you way down here
I make you walk alone
Baby, please don't go, yeah
Alright
