Lyrics
1. Farther Up The RoadFarther on up the road
Someone gonna hurt you
Like you hurt me
Farther on up the road
Someone gonna hurt you
Like you hurt me
Farther on up the road
Baby you just wait and see
You got to reap just what you sow
That old saying is true
You got to reap just what you sow
That old saying is true
Like you mistreated someone
Someone gonna mistreat you
Mmm baby
Now you're laughing pretty baby
Someday you're gonna be crying
Now you're laughing pretty baby
Some someday you're gonna be crying
Farther on up the road
You’ll find out I wasn't lying
Yeah baby
Mmm baby
Farther on up the road
When you're all alone and blue
Farther on up the road
When you're all alone and blue
You gonna ask me to
Take you back baby
But I'll have somebody new
Mmm baby
Mmm baby
2. Ain’t That Lovin’ You
You build my hopes so high
And then you let me down so low
It makes no difference darlin’
I just love you more & more
Every time you smile
You know, I’m smiling with you
Every time you cry
You know I shed a few tears too
Ain’t that lovin’ you baby?
Ain’t that lovin’ you?
Oh that’s lovin’ you
Ain’t that lovin’ you baby?
I don’t believe
I don’t believe you know what I’m talkin’ about

I’m talkin’ about love, love, love
I’m talkin’ about love, love, love
I’m talkin’ about love, love, love
I’m talkin’ about love, love, love
You know I told you darlin’
That I’d never let you down
And no matter what you do
I’ll always be around
You treat me like a schoolboy
That you know it’s true
It makes no difference darlin’
I’ll take care of you
Ain’t that lovin’ you baby?

3. I’m Too Far Gone (To Turn Around)
If I reach out to you
Like a child would do
Darling, don't let me down
I need you so and
I’ll let you know that
I'm too far gone to turn around
If I give you my heart
Please don't tear it apart
Don't treat me like dirt
On the ground
Give me a break
For Heaven's sake, cause
I'm too far gone to turn around
I'm too far gone
I’m too far gone
Stop now
I'm flying high like
A bird in the sky
Darling, don't let me drop
I'm begging you
Whatever you do
Don't turn my life upside down
I love you so
And I guess you know
I'm too far gone to turn around yeah
Too far gone to turn around
Let me tell you
Oh – to turn round
4. Poverty
Up every morning with the sun
I work all day til the evening comes
Blisters and corns all in my hands
Lord, have mercy on a working man
I guess I'm gonna die just like I’m living
In poverty
My pay goes down and my tax goes up
I drink my tea from a broken cup
Between my woman and Uncle Sam
I can't figure out whose fool I am
I guess I'm gonna die just like I'm living
In poverty
Oh, Lord, it's so hard
But it's fair
Everybody talks but
Nobody really cares
Lord!
I can't save a dime, can't buy me one cent
I pay my bills, I can't pay my rent
The old lady's fussing and the kids are crying
They won't let me join the welfare line
I guess I'm gonna die just like I'm living
In poverty
They say there’s one poverty
They say it's going around now
But all I need is people Oh Lord
They're trying to keep you down now
Oh!
Poverty
That's where I'm gonna stay now
Oh Lord!
It seems that’s where I’m gonna stay
5. Yolanda
If you’re in Charleston
Look out for a woman
Hanging out in a bright red Cadillac
She took my money
She left me crying
And I don’t know will I ever make it back?
Oh Yolanda
Why you forsake me?
Why you just lay, lay, laid my body down?
Oh Yolanda
Why did you leave me?
In this wilderness with no money down
I was wealthy and lonely when I met her
Had a house, a job and a Cadillac
A lovely wife, a beautiful daughter
I lost them all when she called & I answered back
Oh Yolanda
Why you forsake me?
Why you just lay, lay, lay my body down?
Oh Yolanda
Why did you leave me?
In this wilderness with no money down
If you’re in Charleston
Look out for a woman
Hanging out in a bright red Cadillac
She took my money
She left me crying
And I don’t know will I ever make it back?
Oh Yolanda
Why you forsake me?
Why you just lay, lay, lay my body down?
Oh Yolanda
Why did you leave me?
In this wilderness with no money down
In this wilderness with no money down
Why did you leave me?
You gone
Oh now you’re gone
Where have you gone?
6. Stormy Monday Blues
They call it Stormy Monday but Tuesday’s just as bad
They call it Stormy Monday but Tuesday’s just as bad
Wednesday’s worse, Lord and Thursday’s all so sad
The eagle flies on Friday, Saturday I go out to play
Yes the eagle flies on Friday, Saturday I go out to play
Sunday I go to church and I kneel down and pray
Woah, woah yeah
And this is what I said baby “Lord, Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on me”
You know I cried
“Lord have mercy, lord have mercy on me”
You know I’m tryin’ to find my baby
Won’t somebody please send her home to me
Well I cried “Lord, have mercy, Lord have mercy on me”
You know I’m tryin’, tryin’ to find my baby
Woah, send her home to me
Woah, yeah
7. I Wouldn’t Treat A Dog (The Way You Treated Me)
Hmm, oh Lord, well listen
When I was up
You would always come round
But when I needed a friend
Oh, you could never be found
I got a hole
Where my heart used to be
I wouldn't treat a dog, no, no
The way you treated me
The way you treated me
When time was good, oh Lord
All your loving was the same
But when the going got rough
You hardly knew my name
You locked me up
And you threw away the key
I wouldn't treat a dog, oh Lord
The way you treated me
Got me crying for
A love that I needed
Begging like a dog for a bone
Although I spent all
My time pleading
You turned your back
And you leave
One of these old days
Lord knows, oh yeah it's true
Just when you need me the most
I'll walk right out on you
And you'll say as you're
Begging down on your bended knees
I wouldn't treat a dog
No, no, the way you treated me
The way you treated me
Oh no no
I wouldn’t do it to you baby
8. I’ll Take Care Of You
I know you’ve been hurt by someone else
I can tell by the way you carry yourself
But if you let me, here’s what I’ll do
I’ll take care of you
I, I’ve loved and lost the same as you
So you see, I know just what you’ve been through
But if you’ll let me, here’s what I’ll do
Oh, I just got to take care of you
You won’t ever have to worry
You won’t ever have to cry
I’ll be there beside you
To dry your weeping eyes
So darling, tell me that you’ll be true
For there is no doubt in my mind, I know what I want to do
Understand, sure as one and one is two
Oh, you know I’ll take care of you
I’ll take care of you
9. Chains Of Love
Chains of love
Tied my heart to you
Chains of love
Made me feel so blue
Now I'm your prisoner
Tell me
What are you going to do?
Well, if you're gonna leave me
Please won't you set me free
And, oh, if you're gonna leave me
Please set me free
And oh I can't stand here with these chains,
Oh, unless you stay here with me
Well it's three o'clock
In the morning baby
Lord, and the moon
Is shining bright
And, oh, it's three o'clock
In the morning baby
Let me tell you
The moon is shining bright
And oh I can’t stand here with these chains
Oh unless you stay here with me tonight
Lord yeah
Chains of love
