Live 01 Mar 1994 version
| Bruce Springsteen: | People get ready, there's a train coming |
| You don't need no baggage, just get onboard | |
| Bonnie Raitt: | All you need is faith to hear the diesels humming |
| Don't need no ticket, you just thank the lord | |
| B.B. King: | May not be the best-looking woman I ever did see |
| Nor have the charm of all the ladies of high society | |
| But the woman's got soul | |
| Worth all the money and gold | |
| All of my love belongs to the woman with soul | |
| Raphael Saadiq: | Hey, yeah |
| Love, love | |
| Sey, ah | |
| Freddie's dead | |
| That's what I said | |
| Let the man rap a plan | |
| Said he'd see him home | |
| But his hope was a rope | |
| And he should have known | |
| It was hard to understand | |
| There was love in this man | |
| I'm sure all would agree | |
| That his misery | |
| Was his woman and things | |
| Now that Freddie's dead, y'all | |
| Well, that's what I said | |
| Whoa! | |
| Bonnie Raitt: | Doo, doo, doo, doo |
| Doo, doo, doo, doo | |
| Doo, doo, doo, oh | |
| Hey, hey | |
| Doo, doo, doo, doo | |
| Bonnie Raitt: | If you look into your heart |
| With a positive mind | |
| Go on and take some inventory of your woman and your glory | |
| Leave the bad thing behind | |
| Everybody's got a story (everybody's got a story) | |
| About love and the good things | |
| Spices in your life | |
| Just got to pay the price | |
| Oh, you know what I mean | |
| Bruce Springsteen: | All through the caravan |
| She was dancing with all the men | |
| Waiting for the rising sun | |
| Everybody having fun | |
| I hated to see her go | |
| Knowing that she'd never know that I love her | |
| That I love... | |
| Bruce Springsteen: | I love you, gypsy woman |
| Gypsy woman | |
| I love you, gypsy woman | |
| Gypsy woman | |
| I love you, gypsy woman | |
| Gypsy woman | |
| Steve Winwood: | Say it's all right (it's all right) |
| Said, it's all right (oh, it's all right) | |
| It's all right to have a good time | |
| 'Cause it's all right, whoa, it's all right | |
| Steve Winwood: | You got to move it slow |
| When lights are low | |
| You move it, sounds like more | |
| 'Cause it's all right, oh, it's all right | |
| Raphael Saadiq: | Now, listen to the beat |
| And kind of move your feet | |
| 'Cause when you know you got soul | |
| Everybody knows that it's all right (oh, it's all right) | |
| Steve Winwood: | When you wake up early in the morning |
| Feeling sad like so many of us do | |
| Hum a little soul | |
| Make love your goal | |
| And surely something's got to come to you | |
| Steve Winwood: | It's all right (it's all right) |
| (It's all right, it's all right) | |
| Yeah, it's all right to have a good time | |
| 'Cause it's all right, whoa, it's all right | |
| It's all right to have a good time | |
| 'Cause it's all right | |
| All: | Whoa, it's all right |
