letra de Brown Eyed Handsome Man
Arrested on charges of unemployment,

He was sitting in the witness stand

The judge's wife called up the district attorney

Said you free that brown eyed man

You want your job you better free that brown eyed man

Flying across the desert in a TWA,

I saw a woman walking across the sand

She been a-walkin' thirty miles en route to Bombay.

To get a brown eyed handsome man

Her destination was a brown eyed handsome man

Way back in history three thousand years

Back every since the world began

There's been a whole lot of good women shed a tear

For a brown eyed handsome man

That's what the trouble was brown eyed handsome man

Beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind

Between a doctor and a lawyer man

Her mother told her daughter go out and find yourself

A brown eyed handsome man

That's what your daddy is a brown eyed handsome man

Milo Venus was a beautiful lass

She had the world in the palm of her hand

But she lost both her arms in a wrestling match

To get brown eyed handsome man

She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man

Two, three count with nobody on

He hit a high fly into the stand

Rounding third he was headed for home

It was a brown eyed handsome man

That won the game; it was a brown eyed handsome man

letra de Keeper Of The Flame
I'm the keeper of the flame

My torch of love lights his name

Ask no pity, beg my shame

I'm the keeper of the flame

Played with fire and I was burn

Gave a heart but I was spurn

All these time I have yearned

Just to have my love return

Years have passed by

The spark still remains

True love can't die

It smoulders in flame

When the fire is burning off

And the angels call my name

Dying love will leave no doubt

I'm the keeper of the flame

Years have passed by

The spark still remains

True love can't die

It smoulders in flame

When the fire is burning out

And the angels call my love

Dying love will leave no doubt

I'm the keeper of the flame

letra de Take Me To The Water
Take me to the water

Take me to the water

Take me to the water

To be baptized

None but the righteous

None but the righteous

None but the righteous

Shall be saved

So take me to the water

Take me to the water

Take me to the water

To be, to be baptized

I'm going back home, going back home

Gonna stay here no longer

I'm going back home, going back home

To be baptized

I Hold No GrudgeVer letra

letra de I Hold No Grudge
I hold no grudge

There's no resentment und'neath

I'll extend the laurel wreath and we'll be friends

But right there is where it ends

I hold no grudge

And I'll forgive you your mistake

But forgive me if I take it all to heart

And make sure that it doesn't start again

Yes I'm the kind of people

You can step on for a little while

But when I call it quits

Baby that's it

I'm the kind of people

You can hurt once in a while

But crawling just ain't my style

I hold no grudge

Deep inside me there's no regrets

But a gal who's been forgotten may forgive

But never once forget

letra de Come Ye
Come ye ye who would have peace

Hear me what I say now

I say come ye ye who would have peace

It's time to learn how to pray

I say come ye ye who have no fear

What tomorrow brings child

Start praying for a better world

Or peace and all good things

I say come ye ye who still have hope

That we can still survive now

Let's work together as we should

And fight to stay alive

I say come ye ye who would have love

It's time to take a stand

Don't mind abuse it must be paid

For the love of your fellow man

I say come ye come ye

Who would have hope

Who would have hope

Who would have hope

Who would have hope

Work SongVer letra

letra de Work Song
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang

Breaking rocks and serving my time

Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang

Because they done convicted me of crime

Hold it steady right there while I hit it

Well reckon that ought to get it

Been

Working and working

But I still got so terribly far to go

I commited crime Lord I needed

Crime of being hungry and poor

I left the grocery store man bleeding (breathing?)

When they caught me robbing his store

Hold it steady right there while I hit it

Well reckon that ought to get it

Been

Working and working

But I still got so terribly far to go

I heard the judge say five years

On chain-gang you gonna go

I heard the judge say five years labor

I heard my old man scream "Lordy, no!"

Hold it right there while I hit it

Well reckon that ought to get it

Been

Working and working

But I still got so terribly far to go

Gonna see my sweet honey bee

Gonna break this chain off to run

Gonna lay down somewhere shady

Lord I sure am hot in the sun

Hold it right there while I hit it

Well reckon that ought to get it

Been

Workin' and workin'

Been

Workin' and slavin'

An'

Workin' and workin'

But I still got so terribly far to go

letra de I Love My Baby
I love my baby

I've loved him so long

I love my baby

I've loved him since he was born

Now, sweet baby is gone

And done me oh so wrong

Come on back baby

Now understand

Come on back baby

Come back and hold me

And take me by my hand

Come back baby and take me by the hand

Don't you know I love you baby

Don't you understand

Just say you love me

And we'll go to the preacherman

Just say you love me

And before him we'll stand

We'll live our lives together

As we go hand in hand

You say you love me

We'll go to the preacherman

And we'll live our lives together

As we go hand in hand
