SOLDIER OF LOVE
Originariamente registrata da Arthur Alexander nel 1962
Introduzione alla canzone di "Thee Headcoats"


lay down your arms and surrender to me
oh lay down your arms and love me peacefully
use your arms for squeezing and pleasing the one that loves you so
oh there ain't no reason for you to declare war on the one who loves you so
so forget the other boys because my love is real
come off your battlefield
lay down your arms and surrender to me
yeah lay down your arms and love me peacefully
use your arms for squeezing and pleasing that's the way it's got to be
the welcomes you're using are hurting me bad
but someday you're going to retreat
cause my love baby is the truest you've ever had
a soldier of love that's hard to beat
lay down your arms and surrender to me
lay down your arms and love me peacefully, yeah...
use your arms to hold me tight...baby i don't wanna fight no more
use your arms to hold me tight...baby i don't wanna fight no more
oh baby, lay down your arms
oh baby, lay down your arms
oh baby, lay down your arms
oh baby, lay down your arms
please baby lay down your arms

oh where oh where can my baby be
the lord took her away from me
she's gone to heaven so i got to be good
so i can see my baby when i leave this world
we were out on a date in my daddy's car
we hadn't driven very far
there in the road straight up there
a car was stalled the engine was dead
i couldn't stop so i swerved to the right
i'll never forget the sound that night
the screaming tires, the busting glass
the painful scream that i heard last
oh where oh where can my baby be
the lord took her away from me
she's gone to heaven so i got to be good
so i can see my baby when i leave this world
when i woke up the rain was pouring down
there were people standing all around
something warm flowing through my eyes
but somehow i found my baby that night
i lifted her head she looked at me and said
hold me darling just a little while
i held her close i kissed her our last kiss
i found the love that i knew i had missed
well now she's gone even though i hold her tight
i lost my love, my life, that night
oh where oh where can my baby be
the lord took her away from me
she's gone to heaven so i got to be good
so i can see my baby when i leave this world
