[Backwater Just Take Me]
Down at Backwater junction rolling down
the line
In the dark early morning I heard the one-forty-nine
I was walking down the
highway, needed somewhere to go
A lady laid beside me and she invited me home
She led me
cold, tired and hungry down the backwater road
In a house on the corner looking over the
track
I woke up with a fever and a pain in my back
She was lying there beside me, my fever
started to grow
Had a funny feeling but the lady said no
My lover needs a doctor down the
Backwater Road
Whatcha lookin' for, whatcha lookin' for
Lady do you know what cha'
lookin' for
Was I wrong to play along?
Lady was I right or lady was I
wrong?
Backwater doctor, you've got me breathing in time
It's ten-thirty in the morning
and I'm feeling alright
I went back to my lady but I wasn't to know
Lady left this morning
and she's not coming home
I was cold when she left me down the Backwater Road
I am just
a poor man, got nowhere to go
All my leaves have fallen, left me all alone
If I was a rich
man, if I was a king
I would give you all I have, give you everything
If you'd just take me,
just take me now
If you'd just take me
Never seen my daddy, died when I was
two
Mama did the best she could, taught me all she knew
Said that love was everything, tears
came to her eyes
Never knew the meaning, now I realise
Love is all you need, all you need
now
If you just take me
I'm trying hard to get you, I'm not the only one
Never had
a big car, but I'm not on the run
If love has got a meaning see it in my eyes
If you see the
beginning, then you'd realise
Love is all you need, all y |
