paroles de chanson Soul Meeting - Solomon Burke

Is Arthur here?
Yeah
Is Joe here?
Yeah, yeah
Where's Solomon?
Right here
I see Don comin' in now, man
Come on in the door, Don
And here come Benny with him
Benny, Benny King, come on, hey
Hey man, Joe's packin' up his bags, man
Where you goin', Joe?
I'm goin' back to Baton Rouge, man
I thought you had a good thing goin' here
I ain't got nothin' goin' up here in New York, man, listen

Huh, 'cause the rent up here, mmm, much too high
And I'm just tired of makin' no money tryin' to get by
Listen, I can't see, huh, payin' all of my rent
For a room that's got a room and a bed
Listen, leave me alone, huh, 'cause I'm beat, y'all
I know down in Baton Rouge, uh, I can sleep at ease, ow
Benny King, what you doin'?

Look here, man, I'd like to go, but let me tell you one thing
Listen, Joe, I'd like to go
I've got a sweet little girl that lives next door
You know we, we've made a date
I can't hardly go down south and make her wait
I've been to Louisiana, I've been to Jacksonville
But I finally found my darlin' to make me say I will
Give me Don

Y'all remember, huh, when I made that song called "Mercy"?
My woman had her bags packed up under the bed
I looked around, I said, "Now, baby, don't leave me
If you do, baby, I know I'm dead"
That's why I'm tellin' you, Joe
Last time I went south, I came back to an empty house
And I cried mercy, mercy, mercy, ow, so much mercy, ow

Mercy, ow
Yeah, alright, come on, Sol, King Sol, huh
Listen, everybody, I want you guys to
Clap your hands one time, listen to this
Nobody gonna make me stay at home
Honey, don't you wait for me like the telephone steady goin' on
I'm gonna sing my soul songs, sell love potions, ha
Oh honey, from the Mississippi River to the land of Goshen, ha
Don't you know, if they don't like that, ha
I'm just gonna sit on my throne and
Steady get over, get over, get over
Like a big fat rat now, huh-huh

That sweet soul woman, she's alright, haha
That sweet soul woman got what I like, baby
She's alright, so doggone sweet
I'm gonna stay right here and let my dear love shine
What can I do, haha, what can I say
When you got a woman lovin' you and pleasin' you this way, ow

Huh, oh, got to, got to have a little bit of
Mercy (Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy)
Got to, got to, got to, got to have mercy
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy)
Got to have it in my soul (Lord have
Mercy, Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy)
You got to get in my soul (Lord have
Mercy, Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy)
