Everybody's Cryin Mercy
Mose Allison
Audre May Music - BMI

I don't believe the things I'm seein'
I've been wonderin' 'bout some things I've heard
Everybody's crying mercy
When they don't know the meaning of the word

A bad enough situation
Is sure enough getting worse
Everybody's crying justice
Just as soon as there's business first

Toe to toe, touch and go
Give a cheer and get your own souvenir

Well you know the people running round in circles
Don't know what they're headed for
Everybody's crying peace on earth
Just as soon as we win this war

Straight ahead, gotta knock em dead
So pack your kit, choose your own hypocrite

You don't have to go to off-Broadway
To see something plain absurd
Everybody's crying mercy
When they don't know the meaning of the word

Nobody knows the meaning of the word

Write Me A Few Of Your Lines/ Kokomo Blues
Mississippi Fred McDowell
Tradition Music - BMI

When you get home baby
write me a few of your lines
when you get home little baby
write me a few of your lines
that'll be consolation
Lord Honey oh my worried mind

Left my baby
standin' in the backdoor cryin'
Well I left my little baby
standing in the backdoor cryin'
I never felt so sorry
Lord Honey till he said goodbye

Kokomo me baby
Kokomo me right
Kokomo your mama,
she'll be back tomorrow night
I'd like to cry in your arms tonight
baby don't you wanna go?
Right on to Lemon Light City
Sweet home Kokomo

Go on down to the river baby
goin' to sit down on the ground
well I'm goin' down to the river baby
goin' to sit down on the ground
And let the way of the water
Lord Honey wash my troubles down

Kokomo me baby
Kokomo me right
Kokomo your mama,
she'll be back tomorrow night
I gotta cry with you baby
baby don't you wanna go?
Right on to Lemon Light City
Sweet home Kokomo

Guilty
Randy Newman
WB Music Corp & Randy Newman - ASCAP

Yeah baby, I've been drinking, and I shouldn't come by I know
But I found myself in trouble darling, and I had nowhere else to go

Got some whiskey from a bar man, got some cocaine from a friend
I just had to keep on moving, till I was back in your arms again
----
Well I'm guilty, yeah I'm guilty, I'll be guilty for the rest of my life
How come I never do, what I'm supposed to do
How come nothing that I try to do ever turns out right
----
Well you know how it is with me baby, you know I just can't stand myself
It takes a whole lot of medicine, for me to pretend to be somebody else.
