Baby baby baby, I've got to have you for my own,
Baby baby baby, I've got to have you for my own,
If you ever need me baby, call me on the telephone.


Just give me five, ten, fifteen hours of your love,
Just give me five, ten, fifteen hours of your love,
Give me fifteen hours while that shiny moon's above.


I wanna love ya love ya love ya, love ya love ya all the time,
I wanna love ya love ya love ya, love ya love ya all the time,
I wanna love ya love ya baby, if I live to ninety nine!


Just give me five, ten, fifteen hours of your love,
Just give me five, ten, fifteen hours of your love,
Give me fifteen hours while that shiny moon's above.


I wanna hold ya hold ya hold ya, hold ya till the broad daylight,
I wanna hold ya hold ya hold ya, hold ya till the broad daylight,
I wanna thrill ya thrill ya thrill ya till the sun is shinin' bright.


So give me five, ten, fifteen hours there with you,
So give me five, ten, fifteen hours there with you,
Give me fifteen hours and I'll prove my love is true.

I hear the train a comin'
It's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone..
When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry..

I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But those people keep a movin'
And that's what tortures me...

Well if they freed me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....

Fools fall in love in a hurry
Fools give their hearts much too soon
Just put in two bars of stardust
Just hang out one silly moon
Oh! They've got their love torches burning
When they should be playing it cool
I used to laugh but now I'm the same
Take a look at a brand new fool

Fools fall in love just like schoolgirls
Blinded by rose colored dreams
They build their castles on wishes
With only rainbows for beams
Oh! They're making plans for the future
When they should be right back in school
I used to laugh but now I'm the same
Take a look at a brand new fool
All right!

They've got their love torches burning
When they should be playing it cool
I used to laugh but now I'm the same
Take a look at a brand new fool
Take a look at a brand new fool

Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear

You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever, in the morning
Fever all through the night

Sun lights up the daytime
And moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
And you know I'm gonna treat you right

You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever, in the morning
And fever all through the night

Everybody's got the fever
That is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago

Romeo loved Juliette
Juliette she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said, Julie, Baby
You're my flame

Thou giveth fever
When we kisseth
Fever with thy flaming youth
Fever, I'm afire
Fever, yeah, I burn, forsooth

Cap'in Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said, Daddy
Oh, don't you dare

He gives me fever
With his kisses
Fever when he holds me tight
Fever, I'm his misses
So Daddy, Won't you treat him right

Now you've listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
Chicks were born to give you fever
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade

They give you fever
When you kiss them
Fever if you live and learn
Fever, 'till you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn

Well I always knew I was crazy for you
How'd I know, you'd thrill me so
If this is love, well, it's fabulous

Your lips are close to mine
I get chills up my spine
And when they touch
I thrill so much
If this is love, it's fabulous

I read in a book
About love and it's charms
But I, I never knew
Till I held you in my arms

When I held you tight
Well, I know, I know, I'm right
'Cause only you, can do what you do
If this is love, it's fabulous

-Instrumental Break-

Well I always knew I was crazy for you
How'd I know, that you'd thrill me so
If this is love, well, it's fabulous

Your lips are close to mine
I get chills up my spine
And when they touch
I thrill so much
If this is love, well, it's fabulous

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
It's fabulous
If this is love, well, it's fabulous

My mama always taught me that good things come from adversityif we put our faith in the LordWe couldn't see much good in the flood waters when theywere causing us to have to leave homeBut when the water went downwe found that it had washed a load of rich black bottom dirt across our landThe following year we had the best cotton crop we'd ever hadI remember hearingHow high's the water, mama?Two feet high and risin'How high's the water, papa?Two feet high and risin'We can make it to the road in a homemade boatThat's the only thing we got left that'll floatIt's already over all the wheat and the oatsTwo feet high and risin'How high's the water, mama?Three feet high and risin'How high's the water, papa?Three feet high and risin'Well, the hives are goneI've lost my beesThe chickens are sleepin'In the willow treesCow's in water up past her kneesThree feet high and risin'How high's the water, mama?Four feet high and risin'How high's the water, papa?Four feet high and risin'Hey, come look through the window paneThe bus is comin', gonna take us to the trainLooks like we'll be blessed with a little more rain4 feet high and risin'How high's the water, mama?Five feet high and risin'How high's the water, papa?Five feet high and risin'Well, the rails are washed out north of townWe gotta head for higher groundWe can't come back till the water comes downFive feet high and risin'Well, it's five feet high and risin'
