‘TI' mY BACK AIN’T GOT NO BONE-Esther Phillips
Standing in the rain, and I can feel a cold chill kreepin’ up my back.
And if it keeps on pourin’ down, I’ll be here tI' my daddy’s back. Yes I will
Stumblin through the city stompin everyone I see. Uh uh uh.
You got me going crazy. Strangers look like you to me. Yes they do now
Lord but if it takes me all night long, I gotta keep walkin tI' my back aint got no bone.
Ah, no bone.
Gum is in the showcase, they gone sing to come alive. Yes they do now.
It looks like they all laugh and say, hey why don’t you go somewhere and hide.
Stumbling through the city, heeeey, stomping everyone I see.
Lord you got me going crazy. Strangers look like you to me. Yes they do.
Hey but if it takes me all night long, I gotta keep stepping tI' my back ain’t got no bone.
Ah, no bone.
I gotta find my baby, I got ta find my baby. Lord I gotta keep walkin’ til I find my baby.
