Mortgage on my life,
Mortgage on my life.

"Before You Accuse Me"
(Bo Diddley)
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.

But you've been talkin' to someone else.
I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago.

Fill the land with smoke."

"My Baby Left Me"
(Arthur Crudup)
Yes, my baby left me, never said a word.
Was it something I done,
something that she heard?
You know she left me, my baby left me.
My
baby even left me, never said a word.
But, I stand at my window, wring my hands and cry.
I hate to lose
that woman, hate to say goodbye.
You know she left me, I say, she left
me.
My baby even left me, never said goodbye.
Help me, boy!
And now, one of these mornings, Lord, it won't be long,
You'll look
for me and, Baby, Daddy he'll be gone.
You know she left me, I say she
left me.
My baby even left me, never said a word.
Now, I stand at my window, wring my hands and moan.
All I know is
that the one I love is gone.
My baby left me, I say she left me.
My
baby even left me, never said goodbye.
My baby even left me, never said
goodbye.
"Who'll Stop the Rain"
(J. Fogerty)
Long as I remember The rain been comin' down.
Clouds of myst'ry
pourin' Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, Tryin' to
find the sun;
And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.
I went down Virginia, Seekin' shelter from the storm.
Caught up in
the fable, I watched the tower grow.
Five year plans and new deals,
Wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder, Still I wonder Who'll stop the
rain.
Heard the singers playin', How we cheered for more.
The crowd had
rushed together, Tryin' to keep warm.
Still the rain kept pourin',
Fallin' on my ears.
And I wonder, Still I wonder Who'll stop the
rain.
"I Heard It Through the Grapevine"
(Norman Whitfield, Barrett Strong)
Oo, Bet you're wond'ring how I knew 'bout your plans to make me
blue
With some other guy that you knew before?
Between the two of us
guys, you know I love you more.
It took me by surprise, I must say,
when I found out yesterday. Oo,
CHORUS:
I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you
be mine.
Oo, I heard it through the grapevine, and I'm just about to
lose my mind.
Honey, honey yeah.
You know that a man ain't supposed to cry, but these tears I can't hold
inside.
Losin' you would end my life you see, 'cause you mean that much
to me.
You could have told me yourself that you found someone
else.
Instead,
CHORUS
People say you "Hear from what you see, na na not from what you
hear."
I can't help bein' confused; if it's true, won't you tell me
dear?
Do you plan to let me go for the other guy that you knew before?
Oo,
CHORUS
CHORUS
"Long as I Can See the Light"
(J. Fogerty)
Put a candle in the window, 'cause I feel I've got to move.
Though
I'm going, going, I'll be coming home soon,
'Long as I can see the
light.
Pack my bag and let's get movin', 'cause I'm bound to drift a
while.
When I'm gone, gone, you don't have to worry long,
'Long as I
can see the light.
Guess I've got that old trav'lin' bone, 'cause this feelin' won't leave
me alone.
But I won't, won't be losin' my way, no, no
'Long as I can
see the light.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Oh, Yeah!
Put a candle in the window, 'cause I feel I've got to move.
Though
I'm going, going, I'll be coming home soon,
Long as I can see the
light.
Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the
light.
Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light.
