And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself-Well...How did I get here?

Baby, do me a favor, keep our business to yourself.
Please, darling, do me a favor, keep our business to yourself.
I don't want you to tell nobody in your family,
And don't mention it to nobody else.

Don't tell your mother,
Don't tell your father,
Don't tell your sister,
Don't mention it to your brother.

Please, darling, keep our business to yourself.
Don't you tell nobody,
And don't mention it to nobody else.

I don't want your millions, mister
I don't want your diamond ring
All I want is my job back mister
Give me back my job to me.

I Have the Touch

Wanting contact
I'm wanting contact
I'm wanting contact with you
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Give me the thing I understand
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Shake those hands, shake those hands

so many ways to understand
one for every woman and every man
been that way since the world began

I hear the drumming of the surf and I have to dance
stepping to the rhythm of circumstance---
making contact ...

They ain't but two things, boys
In this world
I don't understand :
One's a two-faced woman
And one's a lying man.

As through this *world you wander
you'll meet lots of funny men
Some will rob you with a six gun
and some with a fountain pen
Yes as through this world you wander
as through this world you roam
you won't never see an outlaw
drive a family from their home

Step up, buddies, and listen to my song
I'll sing it to you right, but you may sing it wrong,
All about a man named Otto Wood,
I can't tell you all, but I wish I could.

He walked in a pawn shop a rainy day,
And with the clerk he had a quarrel, they say.
Pulled out his pistol and he struck him a blow,
And this is the way the story goes.

They put him in the pen, but it done no good,
It wouldn't hold the man they call Otto Wood.
It wasn't very long till he slipped outside,
Drawed a gun on the guard, said, "Take me for a ride."

Second time they caught him was away out west,
In the holdup game, he got shot through the breast.
They brought him back and when he got well,
They locked him down in a dungeon cell.

Otto Wood
