Woman I Love 00:59
Woman I love, she love me Woman I love at home Woman I love her only She won’t let me go
2.
Baby, I thought I might give you a ring, maybe at six or maybe one that’s green Ain’t decided yet Cause loving you girl is like cicada singing It started in the summer and every year it keeps on ringing, ringing and ringing When I’m with you I used to thirst for fame and fortune but Now all I want is the rain to stop pouring oh please God When I’m with you All I used to talk about was running away leaving this place but Now that you’ve come around I guess I’d stay just to see your face Yeah it’s true I don’t need anybody but you Oh no baby, oh no baby not when I’m with you, naw When I’m with you

Rural Cities 02:57
I’ve been wondering for oh so long But it keeps getting stranger so I move on It’s been lonely but not so bad The cracks in the pavement always led me back Swimming up stream, trying to push through Pullin at the seams instead of Just hanging loose, these Rural cities really, bring out the truth Big old hill gonna blow away And quiet little valley, floods in May Keep on pushin, don’t slow down And hold your breath when, spring comes to town Swimming up stream, trying to push through Pullin at the seams instead of Just hanging loose, these Rural cities really, bring out the truth These rural cities really, bring out the truth

Darlin' 00:58
Darlin’ Won’t you lay your burden down Lay it on the table Lay it on the ground Don’t let it break your heart It will if it hangs round Darlin’ won’t you lay your burden down
6.
Shade Tree 03:16
Oh, baby won’t you come under my shade tree I’ve been waiting, oh for such a long time What a rotten week, grass could be our sheets, come on Oh, Honey why such the long face you’ve been waiting oh, in such a long, long line But you’re such a peach let me prune your tree, come on Oh Lady, look at all this sunshine we’ve been wasting waiting for some cloudy skies Time don’t grow on trees but I won’t waste it please, come on Oh, the wind’s blowing coldly, my friends been phony, it’s really been bringing me down I’m far from holy but if you got to know me, I bet you’d stick around Oh, baby won’t you come under my shade tree I’ve been waiting, oh for such a long time What a rotten week, grass could be our sheets, come on Oh baby won’t you come under my shade tree I’ve been waiting, oh for such a long time
