Ray Charles Tribute EP

 Hit The Road Jack

Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more

Woman woman, don't treat me so mean
You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen
I guess if you said so I'd have to pack my things and go

Now listen don't ya treat me this way
Cause I'll be back on my feet some day
Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood
You ain't got no money you just ain't no good
Well, I guess if you say so I'd have to pack my things and go

Don't you come back no more what you say?
Don't you come back no more I didn't understand you
Don't you come back no more you can't mean that
Don't you come back no more now please
Don't you come back no more what you tryin' to do to me?
Don't you come back no more don't treat me like that

Sweet Potato Pie

Lord I feel fine today I'm walking on cloud nine today
I'm over that line today happiness is finally mine today
I guess I'm just a lucky guy and I'm prepared to tell you why
It's strictly on account of my Sweet Potato Pie

I'm the fellow that she loves the most the main reason why she left the coast
She's my little girlzina that much hotter that a jalapeno
Tender like a night in June sweeter than a honeymoon
Brighter than a silver spoon just as crazy as a loon
Softer than a lullabye deeper than the midnight sky
Soulful as a baby's cry My Sweet Potato Pie

I used to see her around the neighborhood I wonder how she grew up so good
She belonged to Freddy and he was bad and I never was ready to make him mad
I'm glad I had to wait awhile a little bit too juvenile
I needed to refine my style a silk suit and a crocodile smile
So let the whole damn world go by because I just want to testify
From now on it's me and my Sweet Potato Pie

Moon Over Miami

Moon over Miami shine on my love and me,
So we can stroll beside the roll, of the rolling sea.
Moon Over Miami shine on as we begin,
A dream or two that may come true when the tide comes in.

Hark to the song of the smiling troubadours hark to the throbbing guitars,
Hear how the waves offer thunderous applause after each song to the stars.
Moon over Miami you know we're waiting for,
A little love, a little kiss on Miami Shore

Let The Good Times Roll

Everybody let's have some fun
You only live but once and when you're dead you're done
So let the good times roll I said let the good times roll,
I don't care if you're young or old you oughtta get together and let the good times roll

Don't sit there mumbling talking trash
If you want to have a ball you got to go out and spend some cash
And let the good times roll now I'm talkin' about the good times,
Well it makes no difference whether you're young or old,
All you got to do is get together and let the good times roll

You all tell everybody, Ray Charles in town I got a dollar and a quarter and I'm just ringing the clock,
But don't let no female, play me cheap I got fifty cents more than I'm gonna keep.
So let the good times roll now I tell y'all I'm gonna let the good times roll now,
Well it don't make no difference if you're young or old,
All you got to do is get together and let the good times roll
No matter whether, rainy weather if you want to have a ball 
You got to get yourself together get yourself under control and let the good times roll

Georgia On My Mind

Georgia, Georgia the whole day through
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
I said Georgia, Georgia a song of you
Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach out to me other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see the road leads back to you

I said Georgia Georgia no peace I find
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
Other arms reach out to me other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see the road leads back to you

Georgia, Georgia no peace, no peace I find
Just an old, sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
I said just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
Other arms reach out to me other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see the road leads back to you

One Mint Julep

One early morning as I was walking I met a woman, we started talking
I took her home to get a few nips but all I had was a mint julep
I don't remember just how I started I only know that we should have parted
I stole a kiss and then another I didn't mean to take it further
One mint julep was the cause of it all

The lights were burning low, there in the parlor
When through the kitchen door up popped her father
He said I saw you when you kissed my daughter
Better wed her right now, or face a slaughter
I didn't know just what I was doing, I had to marry or face ruin
A mint julep, a mint julep a mint julep, a mint julep
One mint julep was the cause of it all

Now, I don't want to bore you with my troubles
But from now on I'll be thinking double
I'm through with flirting and drinking whiskey
I got six extra children from getting frisky
A mint julep, a mint julep a mint julep, a mint julep
One mint julep was the cause of it all
