In The Midnight Hour

I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour,
that's when my love comes tumblin' down.
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour,
when there's no one else around.
I'm gonna take you girl and hold you
and do all the things I told you
in the midnight hour, yes I am.
Yes I am.
I'm gonna wait till the stars come out
and see that sweet love in your eyes.
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour,
that's when my love begins to shine.
You're the only girl I know
that really loves me so
in the midnight hour.
Just you and I, oh baby.
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour,
that's when my love comes tumblin' down.
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour,
that's when my love begins to shine.
Just you and I.
Just you and I, nobody around.
Just you and I.
Just you and I.

You're So Fine


(Im Looking Rather Wasted,
now that your gone,
now that i know,
your on your own..)X2


Have you Seen The Very Thing,
Thats Making all the noise,
so shimmering
Do you Know? Youre not alone,
cause every little body on the surface has a siver ring
and get it right, my brother bright,
thats making all the noise so very white
Do you Know? Youre not alone
cause every little body on the surface has a better home

Chorus:-
Im Looking Rather Wasted,
now that your gone,
now that i know,
your on your own.X4

look and see,
what better be
Tales telling of a story so tenderly,
Do you Know? Youre not alone,
cause every little body on the surface has a silver seem
and get it right, my mother bright
thats making all the noise, so very white
Do you Know? Youre not alone
cause every little body on the surface has a better home

Chorus X4

Have you seen this very thing,
thats making all the noise,
so shimmering
dont you know you are chocking by exception,
you know im not allowing this when your going home

Man....... Mustang Sally is still one of my "get your groove going" songs.

RIP Wilson.... your music will live on for you man.

Aside from everything else that's good about Wilson Pickett, he also knew talent when he heard it. His Hey Jude album features guitar work by a young Duane Allman.

No problem, just though you might like to know.
