We left our southern homes (I say, our southern homes) And wandered north to roam (I say, north to roam) Like birds, went seekin', (seekin') a brand new field of corn (field of corn) We don't know why we are here, (we don't know why we are here) But we're up here just the same (just the same) And we are just the lonesomest Girls that's ever born Some of these days, (some of these days) we are going far away, (I say, far away) Some of these days, (some of these days) we are going far away, (I say, far away) Where we have got a lot of friends And don't have no roof rent to pay Oh, there'll come a day, (there'll come a day) when from us you'll hear no news, (I say, you'll hear no news) Oh, there'll come a day, (there'll come a day) when from us you'll hear no news, (I say, you'll hear no news) Then you will know, (you will know) that we, (that we) have died, (have died) from Those lonesome far away blues

Gonna hop in the hack then turn on the key, Pop in the clutch, let the wheels roll free, Not a cloud in the sky, such a sunny day, Push in the button, let the top ten play. Come on honey, let me sing 'em away, Come on honey, let me sing 'em away, Oh, honey, let me sing your blues away. Give me a little of that old time love, Cause I ain't never had near enough. Honey, walk that walk with style and grace, This ain't no knock-down drag-out race. It don't matter much, pick any gear, Brind you a pound and drop the rear. Baby, baby what can I say, I'm here to drive those blues away. I sent a letter to a man I know, Said, "One for the money and two for the show." I wait all summer for his reply Said, "Three to get ready and four to fly." Only two things in the world I love, That's rock 'n' roll and my turtle dove. When I was a young man I needed good luck, But I'm a little bit older now and I know my stuff. Come on honey, let me sing 'em away, Come on honey, let me sing 'em away, Oh, honey, let me sing your blues away.

It was on a street so evil So bad that even hell disowned it Every single step was trouble For the fool who stumbled on it Eyes within the dark were watchin' I felt the sudden chill of danger Something told me "Keep on walking" Told me I should not have gone there Baby, 'cause you cut me like a knife (Ooh) without your love in my life Alone I walk in the night 'Cause I just can't stop this feeling It's torture It's torture It's torture Mm-mm... She was up a stair to nowhere A room forever I'll remember She stared as though I should have known her Tell me, what's your pain or pleasure?

Did the sound of your name turn a wheel Start a flame in me? (Ooh-ooh) baby Baby, 'cause you cut me like a knife Without your love in my life Alone I walk in the night And I just can't stop this feeling It's torture It's torture It's torture When you call my name (it's torture) It's heading 'round the flame (it's torture) When you call my name (it's torture) (Ay-ay-ay) It's torture It's torture It's torture When you call my name (it's torture) It's heading 'round the flame (it's torture) When you call my name (it's torture)
