Lucinda Williams - Ramblin` (2005) by Lucinda Williams (보컬) on maniadb.com

Motherless children
Have a hard time
When their mother's dead
Motherless children
Have a hard time
When their mother's dead

Wanderin' round
From door to door
They don't have
No place to go
Motherless children
Have a hard time
When their mother's dead

Some people say
Your sister will do
When your mother's dead
Some people say
Your sister will do
When your mother's dead

Some people say
Your sister will do
Soon as she marries
Turn her back on you
Motherless children
Have a hard time
When their mother's dead

Some people say
Your auntie will do
When your mother's dead
Some people say
Your auntie will do
When your mother's dead

Some people say
Your auntie will do
Make a start
Then prove untrue
Motherless children
Have a hard time
When their mother's dead

Your husband may do
The best he can
When your mother's dead
Your husband may do
The best he can
When your mother's dead

Your husband may do
The best he can
But your husband
Don't understand
Motherless children
Have a hard time
When their mother's dead

Jesus will be
A father to you
When your mother's dead
Jesus will be
A father to you
When your mother's dead

Jesus will be
A father to you
Through pain and sorrows
He'll lead you through
Motherless children
Have a hard time
When their mother's dead

Motherless children
Have a hard time
When their mother's dead
I say motherless children
Have a hard time
When their mother's dead

Wanderin' round
From door to door
They don't have
No place to go
Motherless children
Have a hard time
When their mother's dead

Motherless children
Have a hard time
When their mother's dead

I keep drinkin' malted milk
Tryin' to drive my blues away
I keep drinkin' malted milk
Tryin' to drive my blues away
And it is as welcome to my lovin'
As the flower is in May

Malted milk, malted milk
Keep on rushin' to my head
Malted milk, malted milk
Keep on rushin' to my head
I got a funny, funny feelin'
And I'm talkin' all out my head

Honey, fix me one more drink
And hug your lady one more time
Honey, fix me one more drink
And hug your lady one more time
Keep on stirrin' my malted milk, Daddy
Until I change my mind

Oh, my door knob keeps on turnin'
There must be spooks here 'round my bed
Oh, my door knob keeps on turnin'
There must be spooks here 'round my bed
I got a funny, funny feelin'
And the hair's risin' on my head

Malted milk, malted milk
Keep on rushin' to my head
Malted milk, malted milk
Keep on rushin' to my head
I got a funny, funny feelin'
And I'm talkin' all out my head

I keep drinkin' malted milk
Tryin' to drive my blues away
I keep drinkin' malted milk
Tryin' to drive my blues away
And it is as welcome to my lovin'
As the flower is in May

I been lookin for my old man
I can't find him nowhere
I think I'll go Chicago
And look around over there

If I can't find him
Go back on the river and sit right down
That man keep a worryin' poor me
I'm gonna jump overboard and drown

My man, he come sit down
He come sit down right beside me
He said: "Would be good, Mama
If you just come with me"

And I go with my baby
What man like a woman with a sassy child
I won't have to ask him no questions
Man, because he knows the reason why

I feel so disgusted
I don't know what to do
I think I'll go uptown
Try to find me somethin' new

Meet a man with a Cadillac
Whoah man, and plenty money too
I won't have to wake up
Early in the mornin'
'Cause I won't have nothin'
In the world to do

When I was up
In Memphis, Tennessee
Jug band music
Sounds so sweet to me
Because it sounds so sweet
And they're hard to beat
Ri-da-doo-dee, jug band music
Certainly was a treat for me

Well, I went to my man
Put my hand on his knees
And said: "If you can't play the jug
You can't play with me"
Because it sounds so sweet
And they're hard to beat
Ri-da-doo-dee, jug band music
Certainly was a treat for me

And then I took off my socks
I took off my shoes
I danced all night
To the jug band blues
Because it sounds sweet
And they're hard to beat
Ri-da-doo-dee, jug band music
Certainly was a treat for me

And then I went back home
Turned on my radio
Jug band music
Made me stop and slow
Because it sounds so sweet
And they're hard to beat
Ri-da-doo-dee, jug band music
Certainly was a treat for me

And it was way downtown
In Memphis, Tennessee
Jug band music
Sounds so sweet to me
Because it sounds so sweet
And they're hard to beat
Ri-da-doo-dee, jug band music
Certainly was a treat for
Jug band music
Certainly was a treat for
Jug band music
Certainly was a treat for me

I can't keep walkin' down the street
'Fore some pretty daddy start breakin' down with me
Stop breakin' down
Please, please, stop breakin' down
I got the stuff that'll bust your brains out, baby
Make you lose your mind

These no good men love to ape and clown
They don't do nothin' but tear my good reputation down
Stop breakin' down
Please, please, stop breakin' down
I got the stuff that'll bust you brains out, baby
Make you lose your mind

I can't walk the streets now, I can't consolate my mind
'Fore some no good man starts breakin' down
Stop breakin' down
Please, please, stop breakin' down
I got the stuff that'll bust your brains out, baby
Make you lose your mind

I give my baby the ninety-ninth degree
Then he rose up and brought a pistol down on me
Stop breakin' down
Please, please, stop breakin' down
I got the stuff that'll bust your brains out, baby
Make you lose your mind

I can't keep walkin' down the street
'Fore some no good man start breakin' down with me
Stop breakin' down
Please, please, stop breakin' down
I got the stuff that'll bust your brains out, baby
Make you lose your mind

I got the stuff that'll bust your brains out, baby
Make you lose your mind

You can drop down, Daddy
Let your Mama see
You got something, baby
That keeps on worrying me

Well, my mama won't allow me
To fool around late at night
Said: "You may be too young
Some men might not treat you right"

Well, the Jack of Diamonds
Told the Queen of Spades:
"Oh, come on, babe
Let's talk and creep away"

Oh my, my mama won't allow me
To fool around all night long
Said: "You may be too young
Some men might treat you wrong"

Well, stop scratching on my window
Stop knocking on my screen
You're an evil man
And I know this what you mean

Well, my mama won't allow me
To fool around late at night
Said: "You may be too young
Some men might not treat you right"

Well, you know some of these men
Full of so much job
Got a handful of "gimme"
Mouthful of much or bly

Oh my, my mama won't allow me
To fool around all night long
Said: "You may be too young
Some men might treat you wrong"

Well, if you see me coming
Through your woman outdoors
I ain't no stranger
I've been here before

But my mama won't allow me
To fool around late at night
Said: "You may be too young
Some men might not treat you right"

You can drop down, Daddy
Let your Mama see
You got something, baby
That keeps on worrying me

Oh my, my mama won't allow me
To fool around all night long
Said: "You may be too young
Some men might treat you wrong"

Said: "You may be too young
Some men might treat you right"

My little darling, oh, how I love you
How I love you, none can tell
In your heart you love another
Little darling pal of mine

Many a day with you I've rambled
Happiest hours with you I've spent
Thought I had your heart forever
Now I find it's only lent

My little darling, oh, how I love you
How I love you, none can tell
In your heart you love another
Little darling pal of mine

Many a night while you lay sleeping
Dreaming of your amber skies
Was a poor girl broken-hearted
Listening to the winds that sigh

My little darling, oh, how I love you
How I love you, none can tell
In your heart you love another
Little darling pal of mine

Just three things that I wish for
It's my casket, shroud and grave
When I'm gone, don't weep for me
Just kiss those lips that you betrayed

My little darling, oh, how I love you
How I love you, none can tell
In your heart you love another
Little darling pal of mine

Honey, make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Honey, make it down, make it soft and low
Then maybe my good gal she won't know

I'm goin' up the country through the sleedin' snow
Goin' up the country through the sleedin' snow
I'm goin' up the country through the sleedin' snow
Ain't no telling just how fur I'll go

I get my breakfast here and my dinner in Tennessee
Get my breakfast here and my dinner in Tennessee
I get my breakfast here and my dinner in Tennessee
I told you I's a-commin' soon, you'd better look for me

Honey, I can't lay down on your bed
You know that I can't lay down on your bed
Yes, you know that I can't lay down 'cross your pretty bed
'cause my good woman she might kill me dead

And don't you let my good gal catch you here
No don't you let my good gal catch you here
Doo, she might shoot you, cut and stump you too
Ain't no tellin' what o' she might do

Ooh, make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Honey, make it down, make it soft and low
Then maybe my good gal she won't know

Now the way I've been sleepin' my back and shoulders' tired
The way I've been sleepin' my back and shoulders' tired
The way I've been sleepin' my back and shoulders' tired
Thinking goin' turn over, tryin' sleepin' on my side

Ooh , make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Honey, make it down, make it soft and low
Then maybe my good gal she won't know
(Make that pallet, honey)

1.What a beautiful thought I am thinking
Con-cerning a great speckled bird
Remember her name is re-corded
On the pages of God's Holy Word.

2. All the other birds are flocking 'round her
And she is despised by the squad
But the great speckled bird in the Bible
Is one with the great church of God.

3. All the other churches are against her
They envy her glory and fame
They hate her because she is chosen
And has not denied Jesus' name.

4. Desiring to lower her standard
They watch every move that she makes
They long to find fault with her teachings
But really they find no mistake.

5. She is spreading her wings for a journey
She's going to leave by and by
When the trumpet shall sound in the morning
She'll rise and go up in the sky.

6. In the presence of all her despisers
With a song never uttered before
She will rise and be gone in a moment
Till the great tribulation is o'er.

7. I am glad I have learned of her meekness
I am proud that my name is on her book
For I want to be one never fearing
The face of my Savior to look.
8. When He cometh descending from heaven
On the cloud that He writes in His Word
I'll be joyfully carried to meet Him
On the wings of that great speckled bird.

How many times
Have you heard someone say
If I had his money
I'd do things my way
How little they know
That it's so hard to find
One rich man in a hundred
With a satisfied mind

Once I was living
In fortune and fame
And everthing I could dream of
To get a start in life's game
And suddenly it happened
I lost every dime
But I'm richer by far
With a satisfied mind

No money can buy back
Your youth when your old
Or a friend when you're lonely
Or a heart that's grown cold
And the world's richest man
Is a pauper at times
Compared to the man
With a satisfied mind

When my life is over
And my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones
I'll leave there's no doubt
But there's one thing for certain
When it comes my time
I'll leave this old world
With a satisfied mind
I'll leave this old world
With a satisfied mind
