Working For The Man

Roy orbison
Re-recorded version of 1987
----------------------------------
Hey now
You better listen to me every one of you
We got a lot of lot of lot of lot of work to do
Forget about your women
No, no water can
Today you're working for the man
Well pick up your feet
We got a deadline to meet
I'm gonna see you make it on time
Now, don't relax
I want elbows and backs
I wanna see everybody from behind
'cause you're working for the man
Working for the man
Gotta make him a hand
When you're working for the man
Well i'm pickin' em' up

Love Working On You

(jim collins/craig wiseman)
You woke up this morning
Changes were taking place
You looked in the mirror
A smile was all over your face
cause out of nowhere
Someone was there
Who dared to climb
Those walls you made
Its exciting, a little frightening
But girl dont you be afraid
Thats just the love working
Love working on you
Thats just the love working
Working on pulling you through
Cant even remember
All the sorrow that you left behind
Its a brand new day
Theres a bright new way
And your tears have turned into wine

Fall Together

Looking through the looking glass, looking back at me
Ive got x-ray rear view vision but I dont like what I see
Now, I should not bitch and moan but theres not much I can do
When youre hangin by a thread and Im hangin on to you
Baby, we can fall apart or we can fall together
Its a long way down
We can make a new start, never say never
We can fall apart or we can fall together
Fall together
Fall together
Fall together
Now I know you feel compelled when youre way down in the dumps
Every road can take some turns, every road has got its bumps
Now you got to know yourself, you got to play it smart
cause you suffer for your sanity if you suffer for your art
Baby, we can fall apart or we can fall together
Its a long way down
We can make a new start, never say never
We can fall apart or we can fall together
Fall together

Can We Get Together Again

Written by chuck jackson and marvin yancy
I really enjoyed ya, yes, I did
We got to get together and do it all again some time
Though its been quite a while since weve been together
I cant get you right off my mind
So Im simply asking you, baby, can we get together
Oh gee, can we get together again
I wanna know, when can we get together
Some day (some day), some way (some way)
Youre a miracle boy, thats what you are (hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
Youre that part of me that I been missing (hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
Before you came along I was alive, thats true
But I was just barely, barely attempting, yeah
Can we get together, baby, baby
Please can we get together again
Oh, when can we get together
Some day, (some day) some way (some way)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You brought so much sunshine, yeah
Into this empty life of mine

Virginia's Story

Elizabeth Gates-Wooten is my Grand mom.

She was born in Canada with her father and brothers.
They owned a Barber Shoppe.
I don't remember exactly where in Canada.
I believe it was right over the border like Windsor or Toronto.
I never knew exactly where it was.

When she was old enough she got married.

First, she married a man by the name of Frank Gates.
He was from Madagascar.
He fathered my mom and her brother and sister.
The boy's name was Frank Gates, Jr.
Two girls name were Anna and Agnes.

Agnes was my mother.

Frank Gates went crazy after the war
He drank a lot and died

Clampdown

Taking off his turban they said is this man a jew
Cause theyre working for the clampdown
And they put up a poster saying we earn more than you
When were working for the clampdown
We will teach our twisted speech
To the young believers
Train our blue-eyed men
To be young believers
Judge said five to ten - I said double that again
Im not working for the clampdown
Well no one born with a living soul
Could be working for the clampdown
Kick over the wall cause governments to fall
How can you refuse it
Let fury have the hour, anger can be power
Dont you know that you can use it
The voices in your head are calling
Stop wasting your time theres nothing coming
Only a fool would think someone could save you
The men at the factory are old and cunning

You die; I die

You sleep; I sleep; as we replenished our dreary
bodies with astoundingly rejuvenating sleep;
harmoniously together,

You eat; I eat; as we consumed ravishing food to
magnificently appease the tumultuous pangs of hunger
in our famished stomachs; symbiotically together,

You paint; I paint; as we sketched the marvelous glory
of this mesmerizing planet on the canvas of our
impeccable souls; perpetually together,

You dance; I dance; as we gyrated our persona
uninhibitedly under the resplendently milky moonlight;
ecstatically swaying to the beats of the seductive
night; eternally together,

You smile; I smile; as we rhapsodically rejoiced each
moment bequeathed upon us by the Almighty Lord;
romantically together,

No More Chain Gang

He was black and handsome
And mighty mighty brave
Comin from the backwoods
The grandson of a slave
He was caught for something
They knew hed never done
And he was diggin ditches
Out in the burnin sun
Working on the chain gang-no more
Working on the chain gang-no more
Working on the chain gang-no more
Working on the chain gang-no more
No more, no more, no more
Man he was a giant
And iron he could bend
And he swore hed fight them
Down to the bitter end
Though he was no talker
His burnin eyes would say
You may keep on tryin

You and I Sail The World

You and I sail the world
You and I cross the equator
You and I visit Oceania
You and I discover the ocean

You and I sleep together
You and I rock together
You and I pray together
You and I break bread together

You and I rise together
You and I climb together
You and I dine together
You and I laugh together

You and I lock hands together
You and I cry together
You and I dock together
You and me home together

Together

Together we will live
Together we'll die
Together we will live
Together we'll die
Madness is fragile and fragile is she
In chaos she's agile and madness is me
We knew from the beginning it wasn't alright
Like being in a padded room for more than one night
Judgment escaped me I speak for us both
Like the bond that we made let's call it an oath
Together we will live
Together we'll die
Together we will live
Together we'll die
Filled with the confidence of nothing to loose
Armed with an axe and a whole lot of booze
Plans were made down to each detail
With a plan like that how could we fail
We packed all our gear in the trunck of my brother's car
'Cause time is running out says the clock on the wall
