Thank you very much. This was recorded by Ray Charles and
several other people, actually.
In my room has got two windows
And sunhine never comes through
Ya know, it's oh so dark and lonely
Since I broke it off girl, with you
I live on a lonely avenue
Little girl don't say "I do"
And it's oh, so sad and blue
It's all because you
I could cry
(I could cry, I could cry)
I wanna die
(I could die, I could die)
I live on a (lonely avenue)
I live on a (lonely avenue)
Well, my cover's they feel like lead
And my pillow it feels like stone
But I toss and turn so every night
I'm not used to being alone
I live on a lonely avenue
I live, girl don't say "I do"
Ooh, feel so sad and blue
And it's all because of you
I could cry
(I could cry, I could cry)
Oooh-oh!
(I could die, could die, could die)
Yes, now I'm on a lonely avenue
Ooh, baby (lonely avenue)
Haji Ahkba, Haji Ahkba
Candy Dulfer, Candy Dulfer
Georgie Fame
Hold!
Be Bop a Lula she's my baby
Teena Lyle, Teena Lyle
Four o'clock in the morning
There's new full moon
Shining down through the trees, repeat that
Four o'clock in the morning, yeah
Ooh, the moon looking through the trees
I can see my baby
(Can see my baby)
But she can't see me
(But she can't see me)
Rain is over
It's already wet
How you suppose to know
Just what you get?
Ya gimme the highlight
You leave out the rest
You know what they told me
They said, "The west is best"
Keep on trying
Just all night long
It's a family affair
It's a family affair
It's a family affair ooo-ooo
Daughter and mother and papa
It's a family affair
Tell me about your brother
And you sister
Family affair
It's a family affair, yeah
It's a family affair
It's a family affair
Ooo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-ooo
Hear it for Jonn Savannah, Jonn Savannah
Van, can you excuse me?
Oh, excuse me
I like that tempo there
Hey, Van?
Yo!
How long will it be
Before I become a man?
Please tell me, how long will be
Before I become a man?
Will it be real soon
Or will it be when I get seventy-three?
I said I was uneducated
My clothes were worn and torn
But now I got a little education
And they keep on calling me a boy
Right Lord, please tell me
How long will it be, before I become a man? (it's up to you)
Will it be real soon
Or will it be when I hit ninety-three?
Sooner or later
Gonna tell ya, it's gonna end
Sooner or later
I do think it's gonna end
Will it be real soon
Or will it be when I get in my empty grave?
Whiskey and women
Brought me to my knees
I, I, said, whiskey and women
That brought me to my knees
Did I live my life too fast?
Now you thought, it's so almighty deep
Let's hear it for Jimmy Witherspoon
The Blues, the whole blues and nothing but the blues
The whole blues and nothing but the blues
You got the blues
The whole blues
Nothing but the blues
He's called, Jimmy Witherspoon
That's what he said
I want the one down the line
Give me something that was truly fine
She'll be cool
She'll be strong
She'll be real real gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
So lonely in here
So lonely in here
I wanna move
Oooooh, down the line
I wanna give her some loving
Truly fine
Show, you-you-you-you-you
You-you-you-you-you
Oow!
You gave me nothing
You gave me absolutely nothing
(You gave me nothing)
You gave me nothing (you gave me nothing)
You gave me nothing (you gave me nothing)
(You gave me nothing)
You give me nothing but the blues (you gave me nothing)
(You gave me nothing)
I wanna cry
(I could cry, I could cry, I could cry)
(I could die)
I wanna die!
(I could die, I could die)
(Lonely avenue, lonely avenue)
You-you-you-you-you-you (you gave me nothing)
You gave me nothing! (you gave me nothing)
(You gave me nothing)
Nothing but blues, nothing but blues (you gave me nothing, you gave me nothing)
(You gave me nothing)
(You gave me nothing)
(You gave me nothing)

But the blues, oh yeah (I could die, could die, could die)
