HIGH SHERIFF OF CALHOUN PARRISH
(Tony Joe White)
It was said of the sheriff of Calhoun Parrish
Not to whiffer touched his daughter Emily
Far to look at her with a lustful eye were certain
To get you time in the pinna tannery
It was true she was quite voluptious
And it was true she had eyes for me
Then one night at a dance she walked up to me
And asked me would I meet her down by the creek uh
As I listened to her dangerous proposal
I thought about the high sheriff catching me
As I shook my head and quietly left the party
I heard a laughing say "You'll be sorry"
Then there came upon my door a loud disturbance
I opened it to the sheriff and his deputy
He said "Son did you molest my daughter?" uhu
I said "Sheriff I do not know of what you speak"
And they grabbed me roughly by the coller
And flung me sprawling out into the street
There were days in the jail with claustrophobia
And all out of there winked Emily
Well I find to work a bar loose from the window
And made my way into the woods of Calhoun
Late that night I came upon a cabin
It was the home of Ira Cross a friend I knew
Would ya'all mind if I sit down at your table?
Cause it's been a while since I've had time to eat
And I pay you all back when I'm able
But right now the high sheriff is after me
Yes he is
Oh yeah
WIDOW WIMBERLY
(Tony Joe White)
Widow Wimberly how will you manage now?
Widow Wimberly you've got to get by somehow
All your childrens have married off
And there's a grandchild you've never seen
And all your other kinfolks have moved away too
And mister Wimberly died last spring, yes he did
Widow Wimberly how do you still manage to smile?
Widow Wimberly I like to stop and talk with you a while
You ain't got no one to chop your wood
No one to mend your fence
If you had the money you could hire some help
But it is hard to even pay your rent, yes it is
La la Lord
Widow Wimberly how do you still manage to smile?
Widow Wimberly I like to stop and learn from you a while
Widow Wimberly how do you still manage to smile?
Widow Wimberly I like to stop and learn from you a while
CONJURE WOMAN
(Tony Joe White)
On a very hot and moonlit night
In the glow of a campfire
An old woman was mumblin' strange words
And the flame was jumpin' higher
Lawd, Lawd, Lawd she cried
If only I had a piece of a bad sign
Some people called her a conjure woman
It was said she cast a bad spell
Others said she was a witch
She'd chunk you in a deep dark well
All along the river
You could hear her soulful howl
If only I had the tongue of a hoot owl
Conjure woman, conjure woman
Conjure woman don't put no spell on me
Conjure woman stay away from me
Mmm, mmm, uh
She cried out in anguish
In the swamp where she stayed so long
And clutched the moss to her barren BReast
Her need for company was strong
Lawd, Lawd, Lawd she said
If only I had the tooth of a crawdad
Conjure woman, conjure woman, conjure woman
Conjure woman, conjure woman, conjure woman
Conjure wohuhu, conjure woman
Lord, don't you put no bad spell on me!
SAVE YOUR SUGAR FOR ME
(Tony Joe White)
See you in the hall room
Meet you after school
Laying in your backyard
Uh the grass is cool
Laying on our backs now
Looking at the sky
No words have passed between us
We say it with our eyes
Save your sugar for me, Save your sugar for me
Save your sugar for me, I'll save my sugar for you
And down in the swamps now
Running through the woods
Splashing in the water
Uh it feels so good
Witches hair are shining
Hanging of the trees
You begin to shiver
I hold you close to me
Save your sugar for me, Save your sugar for me
Save your sugar for me, I'll save my sugar for you
Midnight start to falling
I've got to get you home
You know I hate to go now
But we've been gone too long
Sneak you in your window
Kiss you through the screen
See you in the morning
I'll love you in my dreams
Save your sugar for me, Save your sugar for me
Save your sugar for me, I'll save my sugar for you
GROUPY GIRL
(Tony Joe White)
Once there was a young girl
Who was a good time fun girl
And she went through her young girl live a-singing
Then at the time of sixteen
She got into a new thing
She dugged the groups and the songs that they would sing
Into her life there came a long hair
Who said that she was nowhere
Unless she showed his friends some of her favours
Groupy girl you know you do your thing so fine
But groupy girl you get old before your time
Yeah
Like a joint she was passed 'round
By the groups that came into the town
And she no longer cared about her wellfare
With her leather bags and muskskin shoes
She acts as if she is nothing to lose
And she no longer combs her pretty long hair
Oh groupy girl you know you do your thing so fine
Yes you do!
Groupy girl you get old before your time

MY FRIEND
(D. Fritts, S. Oldham)
Just a tag along
Always in the way
You was so silly then
My friend
The patter of your feet
Followed me down the street
But I didn't know you then
My friend
From pigtails and playing with dolls
And all those childish things
You've became a woman
With all the beautiness it BRings
When I had my chance
I didn't make my plea
I was so foolish then
My friend
But now you're the star of the show
But you don't notice me
Oh how things might have been
My friend
Now I remember when you use to follow me round the block
Huh and I'ld chase you away
Now I wonder why I couldn't see that you changed your childish ways
And you become a woman and uh what a woman!
Just a tag along
Uh you was always in my way
You was so silly then
My friend
The patter of your feet
Uh you followed me down the street
But I didn't know you then
My friend
