Southern Woman
Written by james young, raymond brandle
Lead vocals by james young
First met you in a southern town
On a warm november day
You made me smoke like a whirlwind
I knew we had nothing to say
Love me but dont try and make me stay
Southern woman
Take my soul but dont you take my life
Southern woman
Make me feel good but dont you tell my wife
[guitar solo]
Once again in the early spring
I touched your ravens crown
Your wild eyed stories of rare delight
Like to knock me down
Its getting so damn hard to put you down
Southern woman
Take my soul but dont you take my life
Southern woman
Make me feel good but dont you tell my wife
[instrumental solos]
Southern woman
Take my soul but dont you take my life
Southern woman
Make me feel good but dont you tell my wife
Southern woman
Take my soul but dont you take my life
Southern woman
Make me feel good but dont you tell my wife
Southern woman
Yeah

Im A Southern Man
Tony joe white
Send me a pan of corn bread with some turnip greens on the side
And if you really want to mess with my head give me anything southern fried
Give me some faded blue jeans and a pair of old cowboy boots
And Im gonna tell you where I come from tell you somethin about my roots
Im a southern man, Im a southern man,
Im a southern man, (spoken) Im a southern man
Send me a woman to love me with a lot of meat on her bones
Theres something about a big lady I just cant leave em alone
Id like to take her down to the river go skinny dippin in the night
Aint nothin like being with my lady and makin love in the pale moon light
Cause Im a southern man, a hah ah Im a southern man, Im a southern
Man, southern man, Im a southern man
Give me that soulful music it sure makes me feel so nice
So I can do the alligator and get it on every saturday night
Give me that southern comfort, give me annie greensprings wine
Take me on down to the bayou and Ill sure have a real good time
Im a southern man repeated many times to end

Your Southern Can Is Mine
Lookie here momma let me explain ya this
If ya wanna get crooked ill even give ya my fist
Ya might read from revelation back to genesis
Ya keep forgetten your southern can belongs to me
So there aint no use in bringin no jive to me
Your southern can is mine in the mornin
Your southern can belongs to me
Ya might go uptown have me arrested, put in jail
Some hotshots got money gonna pull my bail
Soon as i get out, hit the ground
Your southern can is worth a thousand, half a pound
So there aint no use in bringin no jive to me
Your southern can is mine, talkin about it
Your southern can belongs to me
Ya might take it from the south, baby, hide it up north
Understand ya cant rule me and be my boss
Take it from the east and hide in the west
But when i get ya momma your canll see no rest
So there aint no use in bringin no jive to me
Your southern can is mine, im screamin
Your southern can belongs to me
Now baby, ashes to ashes, sand to sand
When i hit ya momma then ya feel my hand
Give ya punch through that barbed wire fence
When i hit ya baby, ya know i make no sence
So there aint no use in bringin no jive to me
Your southern can is mine, i know it
Your southern can belongs to me
Now look here woman, dont get hot
Im gettin me a brick outta my backyard
So there aint no use in bringin no jive to me
Your southern can is mine, im takin about it
Your southern can belongs to me
Well if i catch you momma down in the heart of town
Im gonna grab me a brick and tear your can on down
So there aint no use in bringin no jive to me
Your southern can is mine, i know it
Your southern can belongs to me
You maybe get bed sick, cause youre graveyard bound
Im gonna make you moan like a graveyard hound
So there aint no use in bringin no jive to me
Your southern can is mine, im screamin
Your southern can belongs to me

Southern man better keep your head
Dont forget what your good book said
Southern change gonna come as last
Now your crosses are burning fast

Tall white fences
Little shacks

Bull whips cracking

Wild Eyed Southern Boys
Its a hot night at the juke joint
And the bands pumpin rhythm and blues
Gonna spill a little rock and roll blood tonight
Gonna make some front page news
And the ladies hate the violence
Still they never seem to look away
Cause they love those
Wild eyed southern boys
Wild eyed boys
Wild eyed southern boys
Its a southern point of honor
You got a get right in on the action
You can hear the outlaws holler
Fight for the lady in black
And she's just one in a million
But she's all I need tonight
Cause she loves those
Wild eyed southern boys
Wild eyed boys
Wild eyed southern boys
Wild eyed boys
Oohhh yeah
Wild eyed boys
A man of wealth and power
Is out on the dance hall floor
He got a champagne Eldorado parked outside the door
And he's looking for a honky tonk angel
But he don't stand a chance in hell
Cause he ain't no wild eyed southern boy
Wild eyed boy
Wild eyed southern boy
Wild eyed
Wild eyed southern boy
Wild eyed southern boys
Wild eyed boy
Wild eyed southern boy
Wild eyed boy

Wild eyed southern boys

Southern Belle
Killing a southern belle is all you know how to do
That and give other people hell
Its what they expect from you too
But I wouldnt have you how you want
I dont wanna walk around
I dont even want to breathe
I live in a southern town
Where all you can do is grit yr teeth
But I wouldnt have you how you want
How come youre not ashamed of what you are?
And sorry that youre the one she got?
Aint nobody talking now
Nobody nothings said
No ones about to shout
Nobodys seen red
But I wouldnt have you how you want
Youre killing a southern belle
Killing a southern belle
Killing a southern belle

On Time
I aint got time , only got a dime to make a last call
Im gettin soaking wet and it aint rained yet since last fall
I got myself a coach ticket on the southern railroad line
I dont have to worry cause I know it never leaves on time
Late last night we made love and evrything was all right
You walked out the door and the only thing I saw was the hall light
I got myself a coach ticket on the southern railroad line
I dont have to worry cause I know it never leaves on time
(break)
Why didnt you see that you dont feel the same way as I do
I understood before that you couldnt take much more as I knew
I got myself a coach ticket on the southern railroad line
I dont have to worry cause I know it never leaves on time

Southern Women
(g.& d. rossington, j. van zant, e. king)
Im the kind of man that loves all the girls
From debutantes to honky-tonk queens
Ive tasted every brand all around the world
But all I see are peaches in my dreams
Im talkin bout, Im talkin bout them southern women
Its a well known fact across the dixie line
And if a man dont agree I can tell you hes blind
They can drink with the best and the hell with the rest
And if she takes you home you aint gettin no rest
(chorus)
Im talkin bout, Im talkin bout them southern women
Im talkin bout theyll love you so slow them southern women
Them southern girls
They look like angels on saturday night oh-lord they got a wild side
Take you places that youve never been make a man come back again
Talk about mamas southern belle little girl learned her lesson well
Aint no others can cast a spell like the sweet southern women
(repeat chorus)
They can make a man feel so proud they can capture him with a southern style
Little girl learned her lesson well aint no others can cast a spell
Like the sweet southern women them southern girls

Again & Again & Again
Now you dont wanna be the little woman
No you dont want to be the little woman
I love. no, no, no, no. I love.
Now you dont wanna stay in my school
You dont wanna be the one thats cool.
You dont wanna be the little woman I love.
Youre up all night and we can let it hang out right. (yeah!)
I said good-bye to all my expectations the day you walked out of my life.
Winter time is coming now
Gimme a sign if you can somehow.
Make it clear where youre heading for
Will I see you someday at my door?
Taking it all into consideration
Loves a game I never win.
Ive been in very similr situations,
Again and again and again.
Oh, no. now you dont wanna be the little woman
No, you dont want to be the little woman
I love. no, no, no, no. I love.
Now you dont wanna stay in my home
You just wanna be on your own.
You dont wanna be the little woman I love.
Take it away!
- guitar solo -
Ah, yeah!
Well things were fine all the summer long
Then things changed, so where did we go wrong?
We can run but we cannot hide
In the greener grass on the other side.
Taking it all into consideraton,
Loves a game I never win.
Ive been in very similr situations,
Again and again and again.

Hey Hey
Well, Ive seen some women
They put your soul on ice
They want a piece of the action
But they never let you roll the dice.
Thats the kind of woman
Bring a good man down
Thats the kind of woman
I dont want around
Hey hey.
I got a woman that dances
She knows how to jump and shout
Now she dont wanna use me
cause she knows how it wears me out.
Yeah, shes the woman
With the magic touch
She dont want to lose me
cause she loves me too much
Hey hey.
Hey hey, my woman looks good to me
Hey hey, my woman looks good to me.
Yeah, she knows how to please me
She knows how to set me free.
Get off of that couch
Turn off that m.t.v.
Get off of that couch
Turn off your m.t.v.
Hey hey, my woman looks good to me.

Mother's Grave
southern men just dont cry.
he stood by his mother's grave,
not a flinch, not a sound...
except cars passing by.
not a good son,
too many wild nights,
& run-ins with the law...
but he could still remember...
her dumplings, & the books
she read to him at night...
the way she taught him to think for himself,
told him never to follow anyone...
her old Bible, & her tired smiling eyes...
southern men just dont cry...
but weeping's a state of mind!

Dark Southern Skies
faded sign falling down
from an abandoned mill
mailboxes full of
unopened bills
houses with no curtains
old cars up on blocks
all the stores are empty
all the doors are locked
dark southern skies
no one's home anymore
no one hears the cry
no one sweeps the floor
man without work
his woman turns away
dark southern skies
and there's no one left to pray...
empty crib gathers dust
a Bible by the bed
workboots in the corner
with this ring i thee wed
pictures on the wall
dont answer in the night
and empty still looks empty
in the morning light
dark southern skies
no one's home anymore
no one hears the cry
no one sweeps the floor
man without work
his woman turns away
dark southern skies
there's no one left to pray....

Someday She Is Going To Hit Back
Woman dont like it - hurting her this way
Someday she is going to hit back
The woman dont like me in her own way
Someday she is going to hit back
Woman dont like it - treating her like this
Someday she is going to hit back
The woman she dont love the lonely
Someday she is going to hit back
Woman dont like it - begging on her knees
Someday she is going to hit back
Oh please, please, dont desert me
Someday she is going to hit back
Woman dont like it - treating her this way
Someday she is going to hit back
There is tenderness in the heart of the lonely
Someday she is going to hit back
(solo)
Someday she is going to hit back (4 times)
Woman dont like it (4 times)
Someday she is going to hit back (4 times)
She feels so lonely
Woman dont like it
She feels so blue
Woman dont like it
He has lost her now
Woman dont like it
Oh... woman, you knew what she could do
Woman dont like it
Woman dont like it - says it has to stop
Someday she is going to hit back
The woman she says she doesnt love me
Someday she is going to hit back
Woman dont like it - the woman dont say a lot
Someday she is going to hit back
With one last kiss she leaves him lonely
Someday she is going to hit back

If I Had A Woman Like You
Orbison/dees
Hey young and innocent girl
You dont even know that Im around
One loving your world and he doesnt know what he has found
Oh, I need you so
But you wear a gold wedding ring
If I had a woman, if I had a woman
If I had a woman, a woman like you.
True, you love your man
You love him true like no one can
Uh, what I would do to be in be in his shoes but I understand
Youre beautifully bound
Tied up to loves silver chain
If I had a woman, if I had a woman
If I had a woman, a woman like you.
Twilight finds me alone
Midnight and Im on my own
I have numbers to phone but I dont have a woman like you
I dont have a woman like you
Lie, Id tell a lie
If I said I did not love you
I know very well why all of my dreams cannot come true
Here, I need you here
But you wear a clear diamond stone
If I had a woman, if I had a woman
If I had a woman, a woman like you.

Im A Good Old Rebel
(traditional, arranged by ry cooder)
Oh, Im a good old rebel
Now thats just what I am
For this fair land of freedom
I do not care a damn.
Im glad I fought against it
I only wish wed won.
And I dont want no pardon
For anything Ive done.
I hates the yankee nation
And everything they do,
I hates the declaration
Of independence, too;
I hates the glorious union-
tis dripping with our blood-
And I hates their striped banner,
I fought it all I could.
Three hundred thousand yankees
Stiffen in southern dust
We got three hundred thousand
Before they conquered us
They died of southern fever
And southern steel and shot
And I wish it was three million
Instead of what we got.
I want to reconstruct it
Im better now than then
And for that carpet beggar
I dont give a damn
So Im a forward the frontier
Soon as I can go
I could bear a weapon
And start for mexico

A Natural Woman
(gerry goffin, carole king, jerry wexler)
Producers for bonnie: david mackay, ronnie scott, steve wolfe
Looking out on the morning rain i used to feel uninspired
And when i knew i'd have to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day i met you life was so unkind
Your love was the key to my peace of mind
'cause you make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman
When my soul was in the lost and found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
'till your kiss helped me name it
Now i'm no longer doubtful of what i'm living for
'cause if i make you happy i don't need to do more
You make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman
Oh, baby, what you've done to me! (what you've done to me!)
You make me feel so good inside (good inside)
And i just want to be (want to be) close to you
You make me feel so alive!
You make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural, natural woman
You make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural, natural woman
You make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural, woman, a natural woman
