Lay a Little Light on Me

(Don Rich)

Vocal: Don Rich



Well, my baby left me about a week ago

Said she found herself a brand new man

And the boss said son I'll have to let you go

And I've had about all I can stand.



That's why I'm roamin' the town just a paintin' it 'round

I said they get the best of me

So just in case that you should see me ace

Kindly lay a little light on me.



Well, I said lay a little light on me

Lay a little light on me

Don't wanna hear no moanin', right banana growin'

I've heard enough of that can't you see.



Lay a little light on me

Lay a little light on me.

Tell me all the good news, I don't wanna hear the bad news

Lay a little light on me.

Well, if everything that I done lately ain't worth a dime

No nothing seems to work out right

Like a bad idea that went all wrong

It sure been an uphill fight.



But the life they say goes on day by day

And there's no use to sit here a cryin'

'Cause I can change the tide on the oceans wide

This old bad luck's gotta change sometime.



Yeah, lay a little light on me

Lay a little light on me.

Tell me all the good news, I don't wanna hear the bad news

Lay a little light on me.



Yeah, lay a little light on me...
