letra de The Pusher
You know I smoked a lot of grass,Oh Lord

And I popped a lot of pills

But I never did touch nothing

That my spirit couldn't kill

You know I see a lot of people walkin' round

Here with tombstones in their eyes

'Cause the pusher don't care

Child if you live or if you die

God damn on the pusher, yea yea

I said God damn him

God damn him, pusher man

You know the dealer

I said the dealer is a man

With lots of love racks in his hand

But the pusher is a monster

Good God, oh Lord he's my natural man

You know the dealer

The dealer takes a nickel lord

And sells you lots of sweet dreams

And lord knows we need lots a sweet dreams

But here comes the pusher

Takes your body and leaves your mind a screen

God damn on the pusher

I said God damn the pusher

He's not a natural man

You know the dealer takes a nickel

And he sells a box of sweet dreams

But he pusher takes your body

He takes your body

He takes your body

And he leaves your mind a screen

God damn him

God damn him, God damn him

God damn him, God damn the pusher

If I were the president, hear me, of this land

I'd declare totale war on the pusher man

Gimme now, now

I'd shoot him if he stands

I'd cut him if he runs yea

I'd kill him with my Bible

My razor and my gun

God damn him, God damn him

Oh, the pusher

God damn the pusher man

letra de Mr. Bojangles
I knew a man Bojangles

And he danced for you

In worn out shoes

With silver hair, a ragged shirt

And baggy pants, the old soft shoe

He jumped so high, he jumped so high

Then he lightly touched down

I met him in a cell in New Orleans

I was down and out

He looked at me to be the eyes of age

As he spoke right out

He talked of life, he talked of life

He laughed, slapped his leg a step

He said his name, Bojangles

And he danced a lick across the cell

He grabbed his pants

in fettered stance

Oh, he jumped up high

Then he clicked his heels

He let go a laugh, he let go a laugh

Shook back his clothes all around

Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles

Mr. Bojangles, dance!

He danced for those

At minstrel shows and county fairs

Throughout the south

He spoke with tears of 15 years

How his dog and him traveled about

His dog up and died, he up and died

After 20 years he still grieves

He said I dance now

At every chance in honky tonks

For drink and tips

But most of the time

I spend behind these county bars

Cause I drinks a bit

He shook his head

And as he shook his head

I heard someone ask him

Please, please

Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles

Mr. Bojangles, dance!

letra de I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl
I want a little sugar

In my bowl

I want a little sweetness

Down in my soul

I could stand some lovin'

Oh so bad

I feel so funny and I feel so sad

I want a little steam

On my clothes

Maybe I can fix things up

So they'll go

Whatsa matter Daddy

Come on, save my soul

I need some sugar in my bowl

I ain't foolin'

I want some sugar in my bowl

You been acting different

I've been told

Soothe me

I want some sugar in my bowl

I want some steam

On my clothes

Maybe I can fix things up so they'll go

Whatsa matter Daddy

Come on, save my soul

I want some sugar in my bowl

I ain't foolin'

I want some sugar hmmm

In my bowl.

letra de Dambala
Oh Dambala come Dambala

Oh Dambala come Dambala

Think of the wings of a three toed frog

Eat weeds from the deepest part of sea

Oh Dambala come Dambala

Oh Dambala come Dambala

On the seventh day God will be there

On the seventh night satan will be there

On the seventh day God will be there

On the seventh night satan will be there

You slavers will know

What its like to be a slave

Slave to your heart

Slave to your soul

Oh Dambala come Dambala

Oh Dambala come Dambala

You slavers will know what its

Like to be a slave

Slave to your mind

Slave to your race

You won't go to heaven

You won't go to hell

You remain in your graves

With the stench and the smell

Oh Dambala come Dambala

Oh Dambala come Dambala
Let It Be MeVer letra 3:35

letra de Let It Be Me
I bless the day I found you,

I want to stay around you

And so I beg you, let it be me.

Don't take this heaven from one,

If you must cling to someone

Now and forever, let it be me.

Each time we meet, love,

I find complete love.

Without your sweet love

What would life be?

So never leave me lonely,

Tell me you'll love me only

And that you'll always let it be me.

If for each bit of gladness

Someone must taste of sadness

I'll bear the sorrow, let it be me.

No matter what the price is

I'll make no sacrifices.

Through each tomorrow let it be me.

To you I'm praying,

Hear what I'm saying.

Please, let your heart beat

For me, just me.

And never leave me lonely,

Tell me you'll love me only

And that you'll always let it be me,

Let it be me.

[Original French lyrics]

Comme l'argile

L'insecte fragile

L'esclave docile

Je t'appartiens

De tout mo'ntre

Tu es le seul ma'tre

Je dois me soumettre

Je t'appartiens

Si tu condamnes

Jetant mon ‰me

Au creux des flammes

Je n'y peux rien1

Avec les peines

L'amour et la haine

Coulant dans mes veines

Je t'appartiens

Que puis-je faire

Pour te satisfaire

Patron de la terre

Sur mon chemin

Comme les anges

Chanter tes louanges

Mais je ne suis pas un ange

Tu le sais bien

Je ne suis qu'un homme

Rien qu'un pauvre homme

Je t'aime comme

Comme un copain

Souvent je pense

Que dans ton immense

Palais de silence

Tu dois'tre bien

Gotta go home now

You know about the holy roller church?

Ain't that were it started?

Ha Ha I know

We've outgrown it now

And I cry that I think that I can't do

I like money yah

I like all of it

But I know where my roots are

You hear me

Sometimes my daughter says

"Mamma I don't understand them people"

I don't either, but I'm fond of 'em

And I like it

Say hey hey

Need your help, hey hey

Cool down now, hey hey

Obeah woman

Yes, I'm the Obeah woman

Do you know what one is?

Ha do you know what an Obeah woman is?

I'm the Obeah woman from beneath the sea

To get to satan you gotta pass through me

'Cause I know the angels name by name

I can eat thunder and drink the rain

Been through enough

Yeah they call me Nita and Pices too

There ain't nothing that I can't do

If I choose to, if you let me

Ha I'm the Obeah woman, above pain

I can eat thunder and drink the rain

I kiss the moon and hug the sun

And call the spirits and make 'em run

You hear me?

You hear me?

'Cause I ain't praying, never was

Just waiting for my time

Waiting for to die

Hackle and patience

Hackle and patience oh yeah

Obeah now

Obeah Obeah now

I'm the Obeah woman from beneath the sea

To get to satan baby you gotta pass through me

I know the angels name by name

I can eat thunder and drink the rain

How you think I lasted this long?

Alright, alright

I kiss the moon and hug the sun

O yeah oh well oh well

You people from the islands

Know about the Obeah woman

I didn't put the name on myself

And I don't like it

Sometimes, but the weight is too heavy

The weight is too heavy

Let' finish it
