1. I Shot The Sheriff

   Letra

   I shot the sheriff But I did not shoot the deputy I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot the deputy All around my home town They're trying to track me down They say they want to bring me in guilty For the killing of the deputy For the life of a deputy I said I shot the sheriff But I swear it was in self defense I shot the sheriff And they say it was a capital offense Sheriff John Brown always hated me For what? I don't know But every time that I plant a seed He said, "kill it before it grows" (2x) I said (2x) I shot the sheriff But I swear it was in self defense Freedom came my way one day And I started out of town All of a sudden I see Sheriff John Brown Aimin' to shoot me down So I shot, I shot him down I said (2x) I shot the sheriff But I did not shoot the deputy Reflexes got the better of me And what is to be must be Every day the bucket falls to the well One day the bottom will drop out Yes, one day the bottom will drop out I said I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot the deputy Oh, no, oh, no I shot the sheriff But I did not shoot no deputy Oh, no

   Letra

   It's late in the evening She's wondering what clothes to wear She'll put on her make-up And brushes her long blond hair And then she'll ask me: Do I look alright?

And I'll say: Yes, I feel wonderful tonight I feel wonderful Because I see the love light in your eyes And the wonder of it all Is that you just don't realize How much I love you It's time to go home now I've got an aching head So I'll give her the car keys She'll help me to bed And then I'll tell her As I turn out the light I say: My darling, you were wonderful tonight Oh, my darling, you were wonderful tonight Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

   What will you do when you get lonely And no one's waiting by your side? You've been running and hiding much too long You know it's just your foolish pride Layla You've got me on my knees, Layla Begging darling please, Layla Darling, won't you ease my worried mind? Tried to give you consolation When your old man, he let you down Like a fool, I fell in love with you You turned my whole world upside down Layla You've got me on my knees, Layla Begging darling please, Layla Darling, won't you ease my worried mind? Make the best of the situation Before I finally go insane Please don't say we'll never find a way Or tell me all my love's in vain Layla You've got me on my knees, Layla Begging darling please, Layla Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

7. Lay Down Sally

   Letra

   There is nothing that is wrong In wanting you to stay here with me. I know you've got somewhere to go, But won't you make yourself at home and stay with me? And don't you ever leave. Chorus: Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms. Don't you think you want someone to talk to? Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon. I've been trying all night long just to talk to you. The sun ain't nearly on the rise And we still got the moon and stars above. Underneath the velvet skies, Love is all that matters. Won't you stay with me? And don't you ever leave. I long to see the morning light Coloring your face so dreamily. So don't you go and say goodbye, You can lay your worries down and stay with me. And don't you ever leave.
8. Willie And The Hand Jive

   Letra

   I know a cat named Way-Out Willie, Got a cool little chick named Rocking Millie. He can walk and stroll and Susie Q And do that crazy hand jive, too. Mama, mama, look at Uncle Joe Doing the hand jive with sister Flo. Grandma gave baby sister a dime; Said, "Do that hand jive one more time." Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive, Do that crazy hand jive. Doctor and a lawyer and an Indian chief, They all dig that crazy beat. Way-Out Willie gave them all a treat When he did that hand jive with his feet. Chorus Willie and Millie got married last fall. They had a little Willie junior and that ain't all. Well, the kids got crazy and it's plain to see, Doing the hand jive on T.V. Chorus
9. Promises

   Letra

   I don't care if you never come home I don't mind if you just keep on rowin' away on a distant sea 'Cause I don't love you and you don't love me You cause a commotion when you come to town You give 'em a smile and they melt Having lovers and friends is all good and fine But I don't like yours and you don't like mine La la, la la la la La la, la la la la I don't care what you do at night Oh, and I don't care how you get your delights I'm gonna leave you alone I'll just let it be I don't love you and you don't love me I got a problem Can you relate? I got a woman callin' love hate We made a vow we'd always be friends How could we know that promises end? La la, la la la la La la, la la la la I tried to love you for years upon years You refuse to take me for real It's time you saw what I want you to see And I'd still love you if you just loved me I got a problem Can you relate? I got a woman callin' love hate We made a vow we'd always be friends How could we know that promises end? La la, la la la la La la, la la la la La la, la la la la La la, la la la la

11. Let It Grow

    Letra

    Standing at the crossroads, trying to read the signs To tell me which way I should go to find the answer And all the time I know Plant your love and let it grow Let it grow, let it grow Let it blossom, let it flow In the sun, the rain, the snow Love is lovely, let it grow Looking for a reason to check out of my mind Trying hard to get a friend that I can count on But there's nothing left to show Plant your love and let it grow Let it grow, let it grow Let it blossom, let it flow In the sun, the rain, the snow Love is lovely, let it grow Time is getting shorter and there's much for you to do Only ask and you will get what you are needing The rest is up to you Plant your love and let it grow Let it grow, let it grow Let it blossom, let it flow In the sun, the rain, the snow Love is lovely, let it grow Let it grow, let it grow Let it blossom, let it flow In the sun, the rain, the snow Love is lovely, let it grow
