C.C. RIDER

1971 slow version

Well I said C, CC Rider
Come on see, just what you've done
I said now C, CC Rider
Come on see, see just what you've done
Well you made me love you woman, now your man is gone

I said I'm going, I'm gonna see my baby
And I wont get back here until the fall
I said I'm gone, gonna see my baby
And I wont get back here until the fall
If I find myself with a new love
I might not come back to this city at all
Oh no no, Oh baby

Well I said C, I said CC Rider
Come on C, see what you have done
Now you have gone away and left me
And your old man's come home
Well I'm gonna see my baby
And I wont get back here until the fall
I said I'm gonna see my baby
And I wont get back here until the fall
If I find myself a true love
I might not get back here at all

Well now C., C. C. Rider, see now the moon is shining bright,
Well now C., C. C. Rider, see now the moon is shining bright,
Just might find me that good girl and everything would be alright
I said CC Rider, CC Rider, I said CC Rider
I said CC Rider, I said CC Rider, I said CC Rider
