1. _ I Believe
Walk blindly to the light and reach out for his hand.
Don't ask any question and don't try to understand.
Open up your mind and then open up your heart,
and you will see that you and me aren't far apart.
'Cause I believe that love is the answer.
I believe that love will find a way.
Violence has spread world wide
and there's fam'lies on the street.
We sell drugs to children now.
Oh, why can't we just see
that all we do is eliminate our future
with the things we do today?
Money is our incentive now, so that makes it okay.
But I believe that love is the answer.
I believe that love will find a way.
I believe that love is the answer.
I believe that love will find a way.
I've been seeing Lisa now for a little over a year.
She says she'd never been so happy,
but Lisa lives in fear that one day
daddy's gonna find out she's in love
with a nigger from the streets.
Oh, how he would lose it then,
but she's still here with me.
'Cause she believes that love will see it through
and they'll understand.
He'll see me as a person and not just a black man.
'Cause I believe that love is the answer.
I believe that love will find a way.
I believe, I believe, I believe,
I believe that love is the answer.
I believe that love will find a way.
Love will find a way.
Love will find a way.
Love will find a way.
love will find a way.
Love will find a way.
Love will find a way.
Love will find a way.
love will find a way.
Love will find a way.
Love will find a way.
Love will find a way.

2. _ Done Somebody Wrong
The bell just toned, my baby done caught that train and
gone
Yes, the bell just toned, my baby done caught that train and
gone
It's all my fault, I must have done somebody wrong, oh
yeah
Everything that happened, you know I am to blame
Everything that's happened, you know I am to blame
I'm gonna find me a doctor, maybe my luck will change, oh
yeah
My mother told me these days would surely come,
but I, wouldn't listen to her, said, "I gotta have some
fun"
Aah, I must-a did somebody wrong,
uuh, it's all my fault, I must-a did somebody wrong

3. _ Stranger Blues
I'm a stranger here
And I just moved into your town
I'm a stranger here
And I just moved into your town
Because I'm a stranger
Everybody's doggin' me around
Doggin' me around
Sometimes I wonder why they treat a stranger so
Yes sir, sometimes I wonder why they treat a stranger so
They all should remember that they're
They're gonna reap just what they sow
Just what they sow
Sometimes I wonder do my baby know I'm here
Sometimes I wonder do my baby know I'm here
You know that she do
My baby don't really care
Well, I'm goin' down south if I wear out 99 pair of shoes
Well, I'm goin' down south if I wear out 99 pair of shoes
You know I will be welcome, I won't have these stranger blues
These stranger blues
Well, the train stopped here cause the tracks are out of line
Well, the train stopped here cause the tracks are out of line
I'm gonna pack my bags
I'm gonna move on down that line

4. _ Rollin' and Tumblin'
I roll and I tumble, I cried the whole night long
Yes, I roll and I tumble, I cried the whole night long
I got up this morning, feeling that something going on wrong
Well now I want you to love me baby, or please let me be
Yes, love me baby, or please let me be
If you don't like my peaches, please don't shake my tree
Well, I want you to love me baby, and come on and say you'll be mine
I want you to love me baby, come on and say you'll be mine
If you don't like my potatoes, please don't dig up my vine

5. _ Sky is Crying
The sky is crying,
Can you see the tears roll down the street.
The sky is crying,
Can you see the tears roll down the street.
I've been looking for my baby
And I've been wondering where can she be
I my baby early one morning
She was walking on down the street
I my baby early one morning
She was walking on down the street
You know it hurt me, hurt me so bad
It made my poor heart skip a beat
I got a real, real fine feeling
That my baby she don't love me no more
I got a real, real fine feeling
That my baby she don't love me no more
You know the sky's been crying
Can see you see the tears roll down my door

7. _ Shake Your Moneymaker
Shake your moneymaker [Repeat: x5]
And then
Shake your moneymaker [Repeat: x5]
And then
I got a girl who lives up on the hill
I got a girl who lives up on the hill
Talk she gonna love me,
but I don't believe she will
You gotta shake your moneymaker
Shake your moneymaker, baby
Shake your moneymaker
Shake your moneymaker
You gotta shake your moneymaker
And then
I got a girl and she just won't be true
I got a girl and she just won't be true
She's locked to the bridge,
she won't do a thing I tell her to do
She won't shake her moneymaker
Won't shake her moneymaker
She want to roll her activator
She won't shake her moneymaker
She won't shake her moneymaker
She won't

8. _ Dust My Broom
I'm a get up in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm a get up in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
I quit the best girl I'm lovin'
Now my friends can get in my room
I'm gonna write a letter, telephone every town I know
I'm gonna write a letter, telephone every town I know
If I don't find her in ? (Matilda or West Hills, Lord) ?
She be in East Monroe I know
And I don't want no woman
Want every downtown man she meets
No I don't want no woman
Want every downtown man she meets
Man, she's a no good doney
They shouldn't allow her on the street, yeah
I believe, I believe my time ain't long
I believe, I believe my time ain't long
I ain't gonna leave my baby
And break up my happy home

10. _ It Hurts Me Too
You said you was hurtin, you almost lost your mind.
Now, the man you love, he hurt you all the time.
But, when things go wrong, oh, wrong with you,
It hurts me too.
You'll love him more when you should love him less.
Why lick up behind him and take his mess?
But, when things go wrong, whoa, wrong with you,
It hurts me too.
He love another woman, yes, I love you,
But, you love him and stick to him like glue.
When things go wrong, oh, wrong with you,
It hurts me too.
Now, he better leave you or you better put him down.
No, I won't stand to see you pushed around.
But, when things go wrong, oh, wrong with you,
It hurts me too.

12. _ Look On Yonder Wall
Look on yonder wall and hand me down my walkin' cane
Look on yonder wall and hand me down my walkin' cane
I got me another woman, baby, yon' come your man
Look on yonder wall and hand me down my walkin' cane
Look on yonder wall and hand me down my walkin' cane
I got me another woman and, uhh, baby, yon' come your man
You hurried up and went to the wall,
And you know it was tough, uhh
I don't know how many men you's killed,
But, I know you done killed enough for two
Look on yonder wall and hand me down my walkin' cane
Look on yonder wall and hand me down my walkin' cane
I got me another woman, now baby, yon' come your man
Oh yeah
I love you baby, but you just can't treat me right,
Spend all my money and walk the streets all night
But, look on yonder wall and hand me down my walkin' cane
I got me another woman, and baby, yon' come your man

14. _ Standing At the Crossroads
Well I'm standin' at the crossroads,
With my head hung down and cryin'
Well I'm standin' at the crossroads,
With my head hung down and cryin'
Well I was thinkin' about my baby,
And I know she can't be found
I work hard for my baby,
And she treats me like a slave
I work hard for my baby,
And she treats me like a slave
Well she was be tired of livin',
I'll put her six feet in the grave
Well I'm standin' at the crossroads,
And my baby's not around
Well I'm standin' at the crossroads,
And my baby's not around
I began to wonder,
If this is Elmore's second down
I' standin' here waitin' baby,
With my heart right in my hand
I' standin' here waitin' baby,
With my heart right in my hand
I'm thinkin' about my baby,
And she's out with another man
