Rock Me Baby

Words & music by B.B. King/Joe Josea

Baby, baby, baby
I want you to come on home
Want you to come on home

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I want you to rock me baby
Rock me all night long

Oh now listen to this
I want you to rock me baby
Rock me all night long
All night long

Roll me woman
Just roll me like you roll a wagon wheel
Oh yeah keep on rolling me
Just let me rock and roll
Just like a wagon wheel

Rocking me baby, rocking me baby
Um, rocking me baby
Just keep on rocking me baby
Like I know I need it
Like I know I need your love

Hear me call your name
Hear me call your name
Baby, baby
I've been losing my mind
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Why don't you come on home

Baby, baby


Ricochet

Words & music by Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice

You were good
I was bad
I just want everything you had

Don't run, don't run
Oh, baby, have some fun
Good loving is meant for two
A bit for me and a bit for you

Oh please, oh let me free
Stop my misery

Kneel and pray
Oh baby this is what I say
You did right, I did wrong
Let me sing my simple song

Baby, baby, baby

Guitar solo - early version of The Mule riff

You better turn around
Look at the ground
Tell me what you found

Make me feel good

C'mon yeah
I like it...


Kneel And Pray
Performed live at the Paradiso Club, Amsterdam, 24th August 1969

Words & music by Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice

You were good
I was bad
I just want everything you had

Good loving is meant for two
A bit for me and a bit for you
Alright, oh yeah
C'mon and make my bed

Oh, baby, baby, I...c'mon

Kneel and pray
Oh baby this is what I say
You did right, I did wrong
Let me sing my simple song

Oh baby, oh please
Oh tremble on my knees

Yeah, yeah, I need you so
Come in, come in, oh let us play with sin

Alright, yeah

Kneel and pray
Oh baby this is what I say

Oh...

Lady, lady, lady

You better turn around
Look at the ground
Tell me what you found

Aaah, oh yeah

I wanna feel so good inside you

Alright

I can't hear you
I can't see you
I need you

You better turn around
Look at the ground
Tell me what you found


Georgia On My Mind

Words & music by Hoagy Carmichael/Stuart Gorrell

Georgia, Georgia, just smile and ease my pain
An old sweet song
Georgia on my mind

Georgia, Georgia, just smile...
An old sweet song, baby
Georgia on my mind

(I love you baby, I love you so )
or...
(You know what I'm talking about)


Vocal Improvisations aka Blues Forever

Words & music by various unknown composers

Live In London:

So we stepped ashore hmmm...
And I looked behind...I did

Woman, y'now I need your help
Black woman, y'now I need your help
To help me make it home

You got to listen

California Jam:

Hmm...
You know, please believe me
Ooooh...
Oh yeah
Because when I go down
I believe
I believe in you
And I don't know what I'm going to do

One thing I'd like to say
But I can't say it right now

Lord y'know what I'm talking about
Oh God, hmmm....


Lucille

Words & music by Collins/Penniman

Lucille, come back where you belong.
Oh, Lucille, come back where you belong.
I ain't nothing to ya, sing you such a beautiful song.

I woke up this morning, Lucille was not in sight.
I asked her friends about her but all their lips were tight. Lucille, come back where you belong.
I ain't nothing to ya, sing you such a beautiful song.


Lay Lady Lay

Words & music by Bob Dylan

I have never heard Deep Purple's version, so here are Bob Dylan's full lyrics:

Lay lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine

Lay lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen

Stay lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you

Lay lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead


Going Down

Words & music by Don Nix

Yeah, I'm going down
Going down, down, down, down, down I'm going down Going down, down, down, down, down
Got my head out the window my feet are on the ground


Not Fade Away

Words & music by Norman Petty/Charles Hardin

Now, I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
Well I'm gonna love you night and day
Love is love and not fade away
Love is love and not fade away


It's Only Make Believe

Words & music by Conway Twitty/Jack Nance

I have never heard Deep Purple's version, so here are Conway Twitty's full lyrics:

People stop and stare
They think you really care
But myself I deceive I know it's only make believe.

My one and only prayer
Is that someday you'll care
My hopes, my dreams come true
My one and only you.

No one will ever know
How much I love you so
My only prayer will be
Someday you'll care for me
But it's only make believe.

My hopes,my dreams come true
My life I give to you
My heart, a wedding ring
My all, my everything
My heart,I can't control
You rule my very soul
My only prayer will be
Someday you'll care for me
But it's only make belief.

My one and only prayer
Is that someday you'll care
My hopes, my dreams come true
My one and only you
No one will ever know
How much I love you so
My hopes, my prayers, my schemes
You are my everything
But it's only make
It's only make
Yes, it's only make believe.


John Stew aka Jam Stew

Words & music by Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice

Came the morning, did you see my light
Came the morning, did you see my light
Such a mean-eyed woman, I almost died of fright
Such a mean-eyed woman, I almost died of fright

Organ solo

Came the day-time, did you see my light
Came the day-time, did you see my light
Such a mean-eyed woman, yeah I did right
Such a mean-eyed woman, yeah I did right

Guitar solo
