Voo doo womanbobby goldsboroyou make a rose afraid to grow.you make a wind forget to blow.you make the sun up in the sky forget to shine,and you are driving me out of my mind, now.you make a bell forget to ring.you make a bird forget to sing.you make a weeping willow tree forget to cry,and you bring clouds that cover up the sky now.you’re a voodoo woman, that’s plain to see.you’re a voodoo woman, so stay away from me.you make a dog forget to growl.you make the wind forget to howl.and voodoo woman you break every heart you see,so voodoo woman stay away from me now.you’re a voodoo woman, that’s plain to see,you’re a voodoo woman, so stay away from me.you make a dog forget to growl.you make the wind forget to howl.and voodoo woman you break every heart you see,so voodoo woman stay away from me.transcribed by: jody farmer

STRAIGHT LIFE
The straight lifebobby goldsborosometimes i imagine myself as a drifter,seeker of fortunes, connoisseur of great wines. dashing through meadows of yellow and green,trying to catch the impossible dream,leavin’ the straight life behind.sometimes my thoughts may find me in mexico,drinkin’ tequila goin’ out of my mind.havin’ a ball on a couple ‘a bob,treatin’ the ladies to corn on the cob,leavin’ the straight life behind.suddenly all my silly thoughts disappear,she comes to me softly with crackers and beer,winkin’ and blinkin’ and blowin’ in my ear,runnin’ away with my mind.it’s great to be in love, i’m not really thinkin’ ofleavin’ the straight life behindi’m just playin’ a game in my mind.doo do do do do do do do doonce in a while in my mind i go bummin’,goin’ to nowhere, with no worry of timerunnin’ along chasin’ after a train,hummin’ a song in the sun and the rain,leavin’ the straight life behind.i can just see me on a tropical island,ridin’ the surf and drinkin’ coconut wine.havin’ me fun with golden girls in the sand,chasin’ the sun through an innocent land,leavin’ the straight life behind.suddenly all my silly thoughts disappear,she comes to me softly with crackers and beer,winkin’ and blinkin’ and blowin’ in my ear,runnin’ away with my mind.it’s great to be in love, i’m not really thinkin’ ofleavin’ the straight life behind,i’m just playin’ a game in my mind.do doo do do do do doo do dotranscribed by: jody farmer

SUMMER (THE FIRST TIME)
It was a hot afternoon,
last day of june,
and the sun was a demon,
the clouds were afraid,
one-ten in the shade,
and the pavement was steaming.
i told billy-ray,
in his red chevrolet,
i needed time for some thinking,
i was just walking by,
when i looked in her eye,
and i swore it was winking.
She was 31 and i was 17,
i knew nothing about love, she knew everything,
when i saw down beside her on the front porch swing,
and wondered what the coming night would bring.
The sun closed her eyes,
as it climbed in the sky,
and it started to swelter,
the sweat trickled down the front of her gown,
and i thought it would melt her.
She through back her hair,
like i wasn’t there,
and she sipped on a julep,
her shoulders were bare,
and i tried not to stare,
when i looked at her two lips.
And when she looked at me,
i heard her softly say,
i know you’re young,
you don’t know what to do or say,
but stay with me until the sun has gone away,
and i will chase the boy in you away.
And then she smiled and we talked for a while,
and we walked for a mile to the sea,
we sat on the sand, and the boy took her hand,
but i saw the sun rise as a man.
Ten years have gone by,
since i looked in her eye,
but the memory lingers,
i got back in my mind,
to the very first time,
and feel the touch of her fingers,
It was a hot afternoon,
last day of june,
and the sun was a demon,
the clouds were afraid,
one-ten in the shade,
and the pavement was steaming…
