Charles, Ray - Come With Me Lyrics






Come with me
Where the food is free
Where the landlord never comes near you
Be a guest in a house of rest
Where the best of fellows can cheer you.
There's your own little room
So cool, not too much light
Where you're one man for whom
No wife waits up at night
When day ends
You have lots of friends
Who will guard you well while you slumber
Safe from battle and strife
Safe from the wind and gale
Come with me to jail
You'll never have to fetch the milk
Or walk the dog at early dawn
There's no -"Get up- you're late for work!"
While you rest in the pearly dawn
You're never bored by politics
You're privileged to miss a row
Of tragedies by Sophocles
And diatribes by Cicero
Your brother's wife will never come
On Sunday noon to bring to you
Her little son who plays the lute,
Her little girl to sing to you
You can commit you little "sin"
And relatives won't yell "Fie!"
You needn't take the annual trip
To the oracle at Delphi
You snore and swear and stretch and yawn
In this, your strictly male house
The only way that sinners go to Heaven
Is in the jailhouse!

    COME LIVE WITH ME LYRICS

    Come live with me and won't you be my love?
    Share my bread and wine
    Be wife to me, be life to me, be mine

    Oh, come live with me and be my love
    Let our dreams combine
    Be great to me, be fate to me, be mine

    With these hands
    I'll build a roof to shield your head
    Yes, and with these hands
    I'll carve the wood for our baby's bed

    Oh, come live with me and be my love
    So I can love you all the time
    Be part of me, girl, be the heart of me, be mine

    Why don't y'all help me now?

    I'll try to do my best for you, I swear, I promise you
    And girl, didn't I tell you, I'll cry for you, don't you know?
    I will accompany you, I say my whole life through

    Oh, come live with me and won't you be my love?

    Saw him perform this on Carson one night. The audience was completely silent for at least a couple of seconds after the last note faded, and then exploded in applause. Carson just shook his head.

    Really true soul. It just doesn't get better than Ray Charles. Such true emotion and feeling. Cant get enough of Ray no matter what style he is doing. Don't overlook his piano and organ playing either. This is one of my favorites he is just making love to it.
