Here's a tale of Tom 
Who worked the railroads long
His wife would cook his meal
As he would change the wheel

Poor Tom, Seventh Son, Always knew what's goin on 
Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom 
There ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom 

Worked for thirty years 
Sharing hopes and fears 
Dreamin' of the day 
He could turn and say 

Poor Tom, work's done, been lazin' out in the noonday sun 

Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom 

His wife was Annie Mae 
With any man a game she'd play
When Tom was out of town 
She couldn't keep her dress down 

Poor Tom, Seventh Son, always knew what's goin on 

Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom 

And so it was one day 
People got to Annie Mae (?) 
Tom stood, a gun in his hand 
And stopped her runnin' around 

Poor Tom, Seventh Son, gotta die for what you've done 

All those years of work are thrown away 
To ease your mind is that all you can say? 

But what about that grandson on your knee? 
Them railroad songs, Tom would sing to me

Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom 

Keep-a Truckin' 

I can't quit you babe 
Woman I think I'm gonna put you down for a little while 
I can't quit you babe 
I... think I'm gonna put you down for a while 
I said you messed up my happy home 
Made me mistreat my only child 

You built my hopes so high 
Baby then you let me down so low 
You built my hopes so high then ya let me down... so low 
Don'tcha realize sweet baby? 
Woman I don't know... which way to go 

Woman I can't quit you babe 
I think I'm gonna put you down for a while 

Ooh...know I  feel so strange looking out the door 
oooh...tryin hard to change but can't let go 
oooh...cryin' tears of pain and more and more 
oooh...everyday is the same as the one before 

I'm walkin the floor over you 
I'm walkin the floor 

Every heart that breaks is a heart that's cold 
To the hand that takes your dreamless soul

Ooh...Is it long to wait, is it much to pay? 
oooh...Sometimes it's hard waiting for the day.

you know it's hard. I said it's hard 
You know it's true. I said it's hard 
you know it's hard. You know it's true 

Every tear that falls is a smile that's lost
When you hear the call can you count the cost?
As you stand alone do you wonder how?
Can you step aside, does it matter now?

Every love that's changed ?-?-?-?-?-?
In the eye of the night  ?-?-?- 
In the day everything ?-?-?-? 
She was smilin' a tear at her waters fall ?? 

you know it's true. You know it's true now 

I'm walkin the floor over you 
I'm walkin' the floor 
Every tear that falls is a smile that's lost
When you hear the call can you count the cost?
As you stand alone do you wonder how?
Can you step aside, does it matter now?

Does it matter now? (repeat) 

I hear ya knock on my door 
I ain't been saving this scene for ya honey 
Don't wantcha ringin my bell 
It's too late for you to be my honey 

ooh, it's my love 
ooh, it's my own true love 
ooh, it's my own true love

Don't want you wasting my time 
Tired of ya doing the things that you do 
It's no use standing in line 
Follow the line, you better follow queue 

I say, ooooh, it's my love 
oooh, it's my own true love 
oooh, it's my own true love

I could sail a river run dead, but I know it's dead
I could I wish for a million, yeah. But I know it's dead
I could cry within the darkness, I sail away 
I save a lifetime forever
But you know, you know, you know what I say 

And I say Ooh, it's my love 
Oooh, it's my own true love (repeat) 

Darlene, oooh Darlene, oooh Darlene,

When I see you on the street, it makes my heart go flitter 
I see you walkin with all those guys 
It makes me feel so sick 

And I don't care what people say 
And I don't care what they do 
Sweet child I gotta make you mine 
You're the only thing that I want: You! 
Baby Baby when you walk down the block, 
See the people (????) 
Woooh! Child! Oh ya drive me wild!

Oh baby, I got my car

I'm gonna take you every place 
I'm gonna boogie-woogie-woogie-woogie that's fine 

I'm gonna prove it, Darlene 
I'm gonna make ya my girl 
I'm gonna boogie, Darlene 
I'm gonna send ya in another world 

Cause I love Darlene, I gotta love 'er, Yes I do 
I've been savin all my money 
I've been workin all day long 
I gotta give it all back to you! 

Instrumental

It starts out like a murmur 
Then it grows like thunder 
Until it bursts inside of you 
Try to hold it steady 
Wait until you're ready 
Any second now will do 
Throw the door wide open 
Not a word is spoken 
Anything that you want to do 

Ya know, ya know, ya know... 

Don't you feel the same way? 
Don't you feel the same way? 
But you don't know what to do 
No time for hesitatin' 
Ain't no time for hesitatin' 
All you got to do is move 
They say you're feeling blue, well 
I just found a cure 
It's a thing you gotta do, yeah 

Ya know, ya know, ya know... 

Now listen: You say your body's aching? 
I know that it's aching 
Chill bumps come up on you 
Yeah, the funny fool 
I love the funny fool 
?Just like foolin' after school? 
And then you ask for medication 
Who cares for medication 
When you've worn away the cure 

Ya know, ya know, ya know... 
Go back to the country 
Yeah, go back to the country 
Feel a change is good for you 
When you keep convincin' 
Ah, don't keep convincin' 
What's that creeping up behind a you? 
It's just an old friend 
It's just an old friend 
And what's that he's got for you? 

Ya know, ya know, ya know... 

Do your dance do your dance do your dance 
Oooooh, medication. Medication! Medication! 

Wanna tell you about the girl I love 
My she looks so fine 
She's the only one that I been dreamin' of 
Maybe someday she will be all mine 
I wanna tell her that I love her so 
I thrill with her every touch 
I need to tell her she's the only one I really love 

I got a woman, wanna ball all day 
I got a woman, she won't be true, no 
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time 
I said I got a little woman and she won't be true 

Sunday morning when we go down to church 
See the menfolk standin' in line 
I said they come to pray to the Lord 
With my little girl, looks so fine 
In the evening when the sun is sinkin' low 
Everybody's with the one they love 
I walk the town, Keep a-searchin' all around 
Lookin' for my street corner girl 

I got a woman, wanna ball all day 
I got a woman, she won't be true, no no 
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time 
I said I got a little woman and she won't be true 

In the bars, with the men who play guitars 
Singin', drinkin' and rememberin' the times 
My little lover does a midnight shift 
She followed around all the time 
I guess there's just one thing a-left for me to do 
Gonna pack my bags and move on my way 
Cause I got a worried mind 
Sharin' what I thought was mine 
Gonna leave her where the guitars play 

I got a woman, she won't be true, no no 
I got a woman, wanna ball all day 
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time 
I got a little woman and she won't be true 

(Hey hey what can I do) 

I said she won't be true 

(Hey Hey, What can I say?) 

Hey hey, what can I do 
I got a woman, she won't be true 
Lord, hear what I say 
I got a woman, wanna ball all day 

Asked sweet mama, Let me be her kid 
She said, "You might get hurt if you don't keep it hid" 

Well I know my baby, If I see her in the dark 
I said I know my rider, If I see her in the dark 

Now, I goin' to Rosedale, Take my rider by my side 
Still barrelhouse, If it's on the riverside, yeah 
I know my baby, Lord, I said, "is really sloppy drunk" 
I know my mama, Lord, a brownskin, but she ain't no plum 

See my baby, tell her, Tell her hurry home 
Had no lovin', since my baby been gone 
See my baby, Tell hurry on home 
I ain't had, Lord, my right mind, Since my rider's been gone 

Hey, she promises, She's my rider 
I wanna tell you, She's my rider 
I know you're mine, She's my rider 
She ain't but sixteen, But she's my rider 

I'm goin' to Rosedale, Take my rider by side 
Anybody argue with me man, I'll keep them satisfied 
Well, see my baby, tell her, Tell her the shape I'm in 
Ain't had no lovin', Lord, since you know when 

Spoken: Why don't you come into my kitchen 

She's a kindhearted lady. She studies evil all the time 
She's a kindhearted woman. She studies evil all the time 

Squeeze my lemon 'til the juice runs down my leg 
Squeeze it so hard, I'll fall right out of bed 
Squeeze my lemon, 'til the juice runs down my leg 

Spoken: I wonder if you know what I'm talkin' about 

Oh, but the way that you squeeze it girl 
I swear I'm gonna fall right out of bed 

She's a good rider 
She's my kindhearted lady 
I'm gonna take my rider by my side 
I said her front teeth are lined with gold 
She's gotta mortgage on my body, got a lien on my soul 
She's my brownskin sugar plum...
