Spend the night in Charlotte's bed You might get caught in Charlotte's web A satin rose, that's growing wild Charlotte holds more secrets, than the night She spins and weaves her magic spell Her body speaks, what words can't tell I'm a moth, she's a flame In a town that's all too quick, to smear her name But I'll take the likes of Charlotte and her kind Small-town talk, don't matter now that Charlotte's mine It may be true, that other men have found her bed But I'm the one who's caught in Charlotte's Web Charlotte took me late one night To a secret room, by candlelight She dealt the cards and read my hand Said she hoped that I would understand She turned two cards up, face to face She said, "Two hearts have found their place" Now all the rest is history The future's full of Charlotte loving me And I'll take the likes of Charlotte and her kind Small-town talk don't matter now that Charlotte's mine It may be true that other men have found her bed But I'm the one, who's caught in Charlotte's Web It may be true that other men have found her bed But I'm the one who's caught in Charlotte's Web (Charlotte's web) Charlotte's web, Charlotte's web Charlotte's web, Charlotte's web Charlotte's web

Daddy Sang Bass (Carl Perkins) I remember when I was a lad Times were hard and things were bad But there's a silver lining behind every cloud Just poor people that's all we were Tryin' to make a livin' out of black land dirt We'd get together in a family circle singin' loud. Daddy sang bass, mama sang tenor Me and little brother would join right in there Singin' seems to help a troubled soul One of these days and it won't be long I'll rejoin them in a song I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne. Oh no, the circle won't be broken By and by Lord, by and by Daddy sang bass, mama sang tenor Me and little brother would join right in there In the sky Lord, in the sky. --- Instrumental --- I remember after work Mama would call in all of us You could hear us singing for a country mile Now little brother has done gone on But I'll rejoin him in a song And we'll be together again up yonder in a while. Daddy sang bass, mama sang tenor Me and little brother would join right in there Singin' seems to help a troubled soul One of these days and it won't be long I'll rejoin them in a song I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne. Oh no, the circle won't be broken By and by Lord, by and by Daddy sang bass, mama sang tenor Me and little brother would join right in there In the sky Lord, in the sky. In the sky Lord, in the sky...
