Otis Redding Album

I've been missing you for so many days
I keep wanting you, lord, in so many ways
I cant get you off of my mind
But true love is so hard to find

I want yet another day
Ooh, I need another day
Darling, let me have another day
And I can be anything that you want me to be, now

The sweet things you used to do to me
Sometimes you used to say them to me
I can't forget those lovely days
But this is the price I am about to pay

Ooh, I want another day
You can let me have just one more day
Ooh, I need one more day, yeah
And I will do anything that you want me to do

I will do anything that you want me to do, now
Say anything that you want me to say
Buy you anything you want me to buy
And I can cherish you till the day I die

If you let me have another day
Please let me have one more day
Ooh, I want just one more day, lord
And it can be anything that you want me to be

Ooh no, ooh
Just one more day now
You can let me have just another day, now
Please I want to stay and the day after and the day after
And I want all the days
And I want all the days
And I want you here by my side
And I don't want you do leave me
And you can let me have one more day

Like the size of the fish
Like the rope
Like the tale of

But everyday, it grows a little more
And it grows
My love for you, it grows
Hey, hey, hey
But where it's gonna stop

I said it grows and grows
It grows and grows

Like the need of
Like the of his heart
I say, everyday it grows and grows
Hey, hey
But where it's gonna stop

Nobody knows, it grows and grows
Everyday
And everynight, it grows
My love for just keeps on growing

It's early in the morning
About a quarter till three
I'm sittin' here talkin' with my baby
Over cigarettes and coffee, now
And to tell you that
Darling I've been so satisfied
Honey since I met you
Baby since I met you, ooh

All the places that I've been around
And all the good looking girls I've met
They just don't seem to fit in
Knowing this particularly sad, yeah

But it seemed so natural, darling
That you and I are here
Just talking over cigarettes and drinking coffee, ooh now

And whole my heart cries out
Love at last I've found you, ooh now
And honey won't you let me
Just be my whole life around you
And while I complete, I complete my whole life would be, yeah
If you would take things under consideration
And walk down this hour with me
And I would love it, yeah


People I say it's so early in the morning
Ou, it's a quarter till three
We're sittin' here talkin'
Over cigarettes and drinking coffee, now, lord
And I'll like to show you, well
I've known nothing but good old joy
Since I met you, darling
Honey since I've met you, baby yeah

I would love to have another drink of coffee, now
And please, darling, help me smoke this one more cigarette, now
I don't want no cream and sugar
'cause I've got you, now darling
But just let me enjoy
Help me to enjoy
This good time that we'll have, baby
It's so early, so early in the morning
So early, so early in the morning
And I've got you
And you've got me
And we'll have each other
And we don't, we don't want nothing but joy, y'all
Nothing but joy...

[Chorus:]
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang

All day long they work so hard
till the sun's comin' down
workin on the highways and biways
and wearin a frown

I hear them moanin' their lives away
and then you hear somebody say

[Chorus]


Hear someone sayin'
whoa I work, work so hard
See my woman, who I love so dear,
but I, I've got to work right here.

[Chorus]

My, my, my, my, I work so hard
Give me water, I'm thirsty
Whoa I, I work so hard

You hear them moanin' their lives away,
and then you hear somebody say

[Chorus 2x]

(Jimmie Cox)
Once I lived the life
of a millionaire
Spending my money
Oh I didn't care
Taking my friends out
For a mighty good time
Oh we'd drink that good gin
Champagne and wine

But oh just as soon
As my money got low
I couldn't find nobody
And I had no place to go
And if I ever get my hands
On a dollar again
I'm gonna hold on
Till the eagle wins
Cause I found out

Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out

Lord have mercy

Yeah, yeah, now listen
Now in your pocket
There's not one penny
And all of them good friends
You found out you haven't got any
Nobody come around
But the landlord and the taxman
Your ex-wife who says
She wants more alimony


Then there's a knock on the door
And it's a woman you don't know
Says she's having your baby
She'll walk on in

But oh just as soon
as the money roll in
Here they all come sayings
That they're you're long lost friends
But if I ever get my hands
On a dollar again
I believe, I believe I'll hold on
Till the eagle wins
Cause I found out

Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out

Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out

Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out

Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody, nobody, nobody

I don't know what you got baby
But you're so good to me
I don't what you're doing wrong to me baby
But you're so good to me

Honey, I've been loving you for a long time
And you're still good to me
I've been loving you woman, twenty long years
I'll love you twenty more
'Cause I've got that will to try, huh

I remember those sweet kisses you give me last night
And man they we're so good to me
All of that good, good, good old loving you give me, baby
Honey, we were sure good to me

I've been loving you woman, twenty long years
If it takes forty more
Honey, I let my will to try, huh

I don't know what you're doing to me, baby
But it sure is good to me
Whatever you do wrong honey, I don't care, baby
Because you're so good to me

I'm gonna keep loving you woman, for twenty more years
After that I'm going for forty
'Cause I got my will to try

I've been loving you woman too long
But I'm just gonna keep on loving you all day long, honey
I'm never gonna dissatisfy you in no kind of way, honey
And I'm gonna love you baby long in the early morning sun
You're just so good to me baby
And I love, love, love you, honey
I just love, love, love you, baby
I just keep on loving you honey
'Cause you're so good to me
So so good to me...

[Harmonica with words spoken through song]

Aww I'm itchy
And I don't know where to scratch
Come here baby
Scratch my back
I know you can do it
So baby get to it

Aww you're workin with it now
You got me feelin' so good
Just lookin' up to the sun now baby


Uuummmmm

This little girl sho' knows how'd scratch

Now you're doin' the chicken scratch

Aww its lookin' good baby

Just gettin' scratchy

That's what I'm talkin' bout

I wanna tell you a story
Every man oughta know
If you want a little lovin
You gotta start real slow
She's gonna love you tonight now
If you just treat her right now

Squeeze her real gentle
Gotta make her feel good
Tell her that you love her


Like you know you should
So if you don't treat her right
She won't love you tonight

If you practice my method
Just as hard as you can
You're gonna get a reputation
As a lovin man
And you'll be glad every night
That you treated her right

Out in the street, all night
While the one who love me
She was sitting at home


I was a fool
Paying the bills
Everybody makes a mistake sometimes

But when I got home, oh
My baby, she was gone
And I found a letter
Right there on the kitchen floor, it read:

"I tried to wait for you to come, honey
But like a fool..."
I'm sorry
Everybody makes a mistake sometimes

"So if you are running around with somebody else
Try to satisfy, man you can't satisfy your selfish self
Man, you gotta take heed
'Cause that same thing might happen to you someday
Everybody makes a mistake sometimes

I know, because I've made mine
I made a great big one
I made a great big one
I want you to come back to me baby
I love you darling
I love you baby

I don't do the things that you do
And I don't go the places that you go
And I don't say the bad things that you say

but I love you any ole way, dar
I love you any ole way, now
I love you any ole way
But I want you to say that it's true

Wherever you go darlin' I will go
When you get there honey I will be there
Just to hear the sweet words that you say
It's I love you every way, now
I love you any ole way, now, now
I love you every way
And I want you to say that it's true

Sittin' on my hutch
Waiting for her to come
So I can hold her
Here in my arms
Watching my watch


As the time pass
Wandering how long my love is gonna last, now

Baby one more time
You're making me feel allright, oh, oh now

Wherever you go darlin' I will go
Whenever you get there I bet I will be there
Just to hear the sweet words that you'll say

Is I love you every way, now, now
I love you any ole way, now
I love you every way, now, now
And I love you any ole way, now
And I love you any ole way, now

I'm just wanting you just more every day, now
I'm just wanting you more and more every day
And I'm just needing you and needing and needing you, ooh
And I'm just wanting and wanting and wanting you more

If you need a little lovin'
Call on me....(alright)
If you want a little huggin'
Call on me baby....(mmhmm)

Oh I'll be right here at home.
All you gotta do is pick up the telephone and dial now

(Chorus):
6-3-4-5-7-8-9 (that's my number!)
6-3-4-5-7-8-9

And if you need a little huggin'
Call on me...(that's all you gotta do now)
And if you want some kissin'
Call on me baby....(all right!)

No more lonely nights, when you'll be alone.
All you gotta do is pick up your telephone and dial now...

(Chorus)

Oh. I'll be right there.
Just as soon as I can. (oh)
And if I'll be a little bit late now,
I hope that you'll understand (whoa-yah...allright)

And if you need a little lovin'
Call on me....(Lord have mercy)
And if you want some kissin'
Call on me baby....(that's all you got to do now...)

No more lonely nights, when you'll be alone.
All you gotta do is pick up your telephone and dial now...
