(ParfittLancaster) [Backwater Just Take Me] Down at Backwater junction rolling down the line In the dark early morning I heard the one-forty-nine I was walking down the highway, needed somewhere to go A lady laid beside me and she invited me home She led me cold, tired and hungry down the backwater road In a house on the corner looking over the track I woke up with a fever and a pain in my back She was lying there beside me, my fever started to grow Had a funny feeling but the lady said no My lover needs a doctor down the Backwater Road Whatcha lookin' for, whatcha lookin' for Lady do you know what cha' lookin' for Was I wrong to play along? Lady was I right or lady was I wrong? Backwater doctor, you've got me breathing in time It's ten-thirty in the morning and I'm feeling alright I went back to my lady but I wasn't to know Lady left this morning and she's not coming home I was cold when she left me down the Backwater Road I am just a poor man, got nowhere to go All my leaves have fallen, left me all alone If I was a rich man, if I was a king I would give you all I have, give you everything If you'd just take me, just take me now If you'd just take me Never seen my daddy, died when I was two Mama did the best she could, taught me all she knew Said that love was everything, tears came to her eyes Never knew the meaning, now I realise Love is all you need, all you need now If you just take me I'm trying hard to get you, I'm not the only one Never had a big car, but I'm not on the run If love has got a meaning see it in my eyes If you see the beginning, then you'd realise Love is all you need, all you
