I Love Your Lovin' Ways when you hold my hand
And with a little ssqueeze you make me understand
That I'm the only one underneath the sun for you, yes, for you
I L Y L W, yes, I L Y L W, yes I do.

I L Y L W when you kiss a kiss
The way you pop it up makes me go for this
Because it makes me feel I'm the only one you need, yes, you need
I L Y L W oh I L Y L W, yes indeed.

Oh yeah, your kisses make taste so good
Oh daddy, tell me, darling, you're not made of wood.

I L Y L W when you hold me tight
You're always good to me and you treat me right
So baby take my love 'cause it's made you, just you
I L Y L W oh I L Y L W yes i do...

My skin is black
My arms are long
My hair is woolly
My back is strong
Strong enough to take the pain
inflicted again and again
What do they call me
My name is AUNT SARAH
My name is Aunt Sarah

My skin is yellow
My hair is long
Between two worlds
I do belong
My father was rich and white
He forced my mother late one night
What do they call me
My name is SAFFRONIA
My name is Saffronia

My skin is tan
My hair is fine
My hips invite you
my mouth like wine
Whose little girl am I?
Anyone who has money to buy
What do they call me
My name is SWEET THING
My name is Sweet Thing

My skin is brown
my manner is tough
I'll kill the first mother I see
my life has been too rough
I'm awfully bitter these days
because my parents were slaves
What do they call me
My name is PEACHES

. . .


I would do anything, anything you say
If you would just be mine
What more, what more can I say?

I would give anything, anything I own
If you'd be my love
What more, what more can I say?

Anything I've got to give, it's not a lot to give
Baby if I'm giving it to you
Anything is nice to give
I don't have to think twice to give

That's how much I love you Daddy
That's how much I love you
I say that's how much I love you
That's how much I love you

I would go anywhere, anywhere you go
If you just say you wanted me too
What more can I say?

James Shelton

I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see...
And be what I want to be
When I think more than I want to think
Do things I never should do
I drink much more that I ought to drink
Because I brings me back you...

Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love
Listen to me... I cannot see clearly
Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?

Lilac wine is sweet and heady where's my love?
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love?

Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?

Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love...

Horace Ott

Don't try to blow out the sun for me baby
I'm not asking for what I know can't be
All that I ask is a kiss a day
And I'll give you love that'll never go away
Yes I will yes I will
I wouldn't ask you to lift up
This great big world little baby
I'm not that kind of a girl

All that I ask is a smile or two
And nothing in this world will be too good for you
Nobody nobody nobody nobody nobody
Nobody knows how deep my love for you really goes
But boy I want you to know
I wouldn't ask you to hold back the light of dawn baby
That's too much to ask to anyone

All that I ask is your loving ways
And I'll keep you happy
For the rest of your natural born days baby
You hear me talking to you
I'll keep you happy
I'll keep you happy for the rest of your days daddy
Just believe me

. . .


Break down and let it all out
Break down and let it all out

I've held back my tears
Just as long as I could
But now my eyes can see
It's all over for you and me
And holding back ain't gonna do no good

I'm gonna break down and let it all out
Break down and let it all out

I've hidden my heart too many times before
Now my aching heart knows that we're apart
And I can't hide it anymore

So I'm gonna break down and let it all out
Break down and let it all out

I remember when you used to love me and oh how sweet it was...
But it's not enough just to remember, 'cause
What good is the past?
Once upon a time...
All those old memories can set my heart at ease
So before I loose my mind...yeah

I'm gonna break down and let it all out
Break down and let it all out

My eyes are open and now I see it's all over for you and me
Break down and let it all out
Break down and let it all out

Now my aching heart knows that we're apart
Break down and let it all out
Break down and let it all out

All those old memories can set my heart at ease
Break down and let it all out
Break down and let it all out...

. . .


Why keep on breaking my heart?
When it's beating for you
Only you

Why do you toy with my dreams
They're depending on you to come true

When you invaded my mind
You took over complete control

Then i surrender to you
All my dreams, my heart and soul

Please say
There's a chance some day you may feel just the way
That i do

But why keep on breaking my heart
When it's beating for you
Only you

Why keep on breaking my heart
When it's beating for you
Only you

. . .


Love me, love me, love me, say you do
Let me fly away with you
For my love is like the wind
And wild is the wind

Give me more than one caress
Satisfy this hungriness
Let the wind blow through your heart
For wild is the wind

You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me
With your kiss my life begins
You're spring to me
All things to me

Don't you know you're life itself
Like a leaf clings to a tree
Oh my darling, cling to me
For we're creatures of the wind
And wild is the wind
So wild is the wind

You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me
With your kiss my life begins
Dady, you're spring to me
All things to me

Don't you know you're life itself
Like a leaf clings to a tree
Oh my darling, cling to me
For we're creatures of the wind
And wild is the wind
So wild is the wind

Wild is the wind
Wild is the wind
Wild is the wind

. . .


Traditional

Black is the color of my true love's hair
His face so soft and wondrous fair
The purest eyes
And the strongest hands
I love the ground on where he stands
I love the ground on where he stands

Black is the color of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair

Oh I love my lover
And well he knows
Yes, I love the ground on where he goes
And still I hope
That the time will come
When he and I will be as one
When he and I will be as one

So black is the color of my true love's hair
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Black is the color of my true love's hair

. . .


If I should lose you
The stars would fall from the sky
If I should lose you
The leaves would wither and die
The birds in maytime
Would sing a lonely refrain
And I would wander around
Hating the sound of rain

With you beside me
No wind in winter would blow
With you beside me
A rose would bloom in the snow
I gave you my love
But I was living a dream
And living would seem in vain
If I lost you

. . .


If I stay, I know I'm that I'ma share your love and that I couldn't take. And
If I go, we'll be apart and I know my heart would surely break. So, what
Difference does it make, which one I choose? Either way I lose.

Though I know, my love is true. I'd die if you ever told me good-bye. Ever told
Me good-bye. And I know, she loves you too. She would do, the same as I. What
Difference does it make, which one I choose? Either way I lose. Either way I
Lose. EIther way I lose.
