Laura Nyro - Woman's Blues

What a voice! And what music... Perfect track from a revolutionary underrated album, "Eli and the Thirteenth Confession". All songs written by Laura Nyro.

Lyrics:
My lover's mouth
Been so good to me
My lover's mouth
Been so good to me
It promised joy for a jailhouse
And a broken key

Woah, God, I got a job
On the chamber's walls of heartache
Woah, God, it's hard
On the chamber's walls of heartache
Baby don't love me
Shuffle
'Cause another one do,
Another one do

My man's run off
Leave me motherless
My man's run off
Leave me motherless
That man, he ran
Just like a break in a dam

Woah, God, I got a job
On the chamber's walls of heartache
Woah, God, it's hard
On the chamber's walls of heartache
Baby don't love me
Shuffle
'Cause another one do
Another one too

Three, four five seven
Oh, you'll never get to heaven
Don't talk wonder
'Cause God broke thunder above
You were lookin' to hurt
And I was hurtin' to love
My my my my my

My my, well,
If it isn't everlovin' you
My my, well,
If it isn't everlovin' you

Go live as long as an elephant
Go live as long as an elephant
But there won't be
More lovin' woman than me

Woah, got to get gone
Better ride from the hill on my heartache
Woah, got to get gone
Better ride from the hill on heartache
Baby don't love me
Shuffle 'cause another one...

My baby don't love me
Hitchike and damn be done
Damn be done...

Yeah, I love Laura. :-)

No Artist has ever touched my Soul quite the way Laura Nyro does - not even the Beatles(and that's saying alot because I really, really love the Beatles!) I listen to the "Eli" album every chance I get, and each time I do, I ALWAYS feel like I'm experiencing the Magic of her songs for the very first time. Her performances are just so fresh, and full of vitality.

Fly on sweet Angel in the dark, and thank you for coming back to us, and answering our prayers every time we hear your songs!
