01-HIT THE ROAD, JACK
Ray Charles
What you say?
Hit the road Jack
And don't you come back
no more, no more, no more, no more.
Hit the road Jack
And don't you come back
no more, no more, no more, no more.
Woah Woman, oh woman,
don't treat me so mean
You're the meanest old woman
that I've ever seen
I guess if you said so
I'd have to pack my things and go
[That's right!]
What you say?
[Hit the road Jack
And don't you come back
no more, no more, no more, no more.
Hit the road Jack
And don't you come back
no more, no more, no more, no more.
Now baby, listen baby,
don't ya treat me this-a way
'Cause I'll be back
on my feet some day
[Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood
You ain't got no money, you just ain't no good]
Well, I guess if you say so
I'd have to pack my things and go
[That's right!]
What you say?
[Hit the road Jack
And don't you come back
no more, no more, no more, no more.
Hit the road Jack
Well
[don't you come back no more.]
Uh, what you say?
[don't you come back no more.]
I didn't understand you
[don't you come back no more.]
You can't mean that
[And don't you come back no more.]
Oh, now baby, please
[don't you come back no more.]
What you tryin' to do to me?
[don't you come back no more.]
Oh, don't treat me like that
[don't you come back no more.]
And don't you come back
no more, no more, no more, no more.
02-GEORGIA ON MY MIND - Sol M
Ray Charles
Georgia
Georgia
The whole day through
(the whole day through)
Just an old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
(Georgia on my mind)
I said: A-Georgia
Georgia
A song of you
(a song of you)
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight
through the pines
Other arms a-reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still, in the peaceful dreams, I see
The road leads back to you
I said: Georgia
Oh, Georgia
No peace I find
(no peace I find)
Just an old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
(Georgia on my mind, oh)
Other arms a-reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still, in peaceful dreams, I see
The road leads back to you
Oh, oh, Georgia
Georgia
No peace, no peace I find
Just an old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
(Georgia on my mind)
I said: Just an old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
03-MESS AROUND - C1 Re M
Ray Charles
Ah, you can talk about the pit,
barbecue
The band was jumpin',
the people too
Ah, mess around
They doin' the mess around
They doin' the mess around
Everybody doin' the mess around
Ah, everybody was juiced, you can,
bet your soul
They did the boogie-woogie,
with a steady roll
They mess around
They doin' the mess around
They doin' the mess around
Everybody doin' the mess around
Now, ah, when I say stop
don't you move a peg
When I say go, just ah,
shake your leg
And do the mess around
I declare, do the mess around
Yeah do the mess around
Everybody's doin' the mess around
Now let me have it there boy
Now you got it boy
(Yeah, ah, mess around,
go on mess around)
(Mess around, boy)
Now this band's goin' to play from,
9 to 1
Everybody here's gonna
have some fun
Doin' the mess around
Ah, doin' the mess around
They doin' the mess around
Everybody doin' the mess around
Now you see that girl, with that,
diamond ring
She knows how to,
shake that thing
Mess around
I declare, she can mess around
Ah, mess around
Everybody do the mess around
04-SAY NO MORE - C1 La m
Ray Charles
Say no more
I think you′ll never understand
I have refused the same demand
All my life!
Say no more
In my book there can be no blame
When you pretend I have no shame
You're half right!
All along
You kept trying to pin me down
Turn me into your house clown ...
If I don′t fit the bill ...
All the same
I loved you then
I love you still!
Want to know the truth?
I caught a nasty bug
And when it got ahold of me
I could not shake it free!
A lasting blue note
Has been haunting me!
It's like an old mistress
Forever chasing me ...
But say no more
I may not be an easy man
But the way you played your hand
I couldn't stand!
It′s too bad
There is much more we could have done!
But now those days are dead and gone
Nothing lasts!
All along
You made me feel this useless guilt
Can you look back on what we built?
I wonder what you saw in me ...
Tell me was it real?
Was it love?
You tell me ...
And though you think of it
As the cause of my fall!
Never mind, I′m blessed ...
I'm here ... at all!
