Barefoot Lady

(album: Babylon - 1969)

Mission on the bayou
Barefoot lady playing
Coming down the line
Evening on my mind
Never stay in place, came and go away
Singing:

Flesh and her desire
In and out my mind
If I can't make her forget you
Than I can never own her
You keep getting younger
I keep feeling older

This man's in love with you –
You better believer it lady
You have the power to drive this fool crazy
And never remain the same
Ducking through the sugar cane
Look behind you. Woman –
Give your hand to this man...

This man's in love with you
You know you've everything
Just about as bright as it can be –
I need a concentrated, controlling urge
To get a hold on that girl

I need your constant presence
To make my heart feel love
That stone's too much
To carry all alone
