Fossil Medley: I'll Be Doggone / Try It Baby / Can I Get A Witness / You're A Wonderful One / Stubborn Kind Of Fellow / How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) (Live 1974)

[Intro]

Alright, just stay with me, baby

Clap your hands, that'll help me out right

All right, I'm gon' be with you, baby

Just stay with me

I wanna sing a medley of my hit songs for you

I wanna see if you remember some of these old songs

[Part I: I'll Be Doggone]

[Verse]

I'll be doggone if I wouldn't work all day, ah baby

And I'll be doggone if I wouldn't bring you my pay

Oh no, baby, thank you

But if I caught you running around and

Blowing my money all over this town

[Chorus]

I, woo, be doggone

I'd be long, oh, long gone, baby

Wouldn't be doggone

I'd be long, oh, long gone

Let's move on up now

Alright, we're doing good now

This is it

[Part II: Try It Baby]

[Verse]

And now you're moving on up, pretty baby

You're leaving me behind

Everybody seems to love you

Girl, you're doing just fine, fine, fine

[Chorus]

But take away your good looks

And all, all your fancy clothes

Why don't you just

Try it, baby

Try it, baby

Try it, baby

Try it, darlin'

You'll see

Nobody loves you but me, baby

Nobody loves you but me, darlin'

[Outro]

Yeah, we rollin' now, we rollin'

Keep it on up one time

I told you we got it, woo

All night, baby

Sure we're sure, all night, oh

Woo, well, Gene, I ain't count one off in a long time

Gene, Gene, Gene, Gene

Let me count this one off one time

Gene, here we go

A-one, a-two, a-one, two, three, four

[Part III: Can I Get a Witness]

[Intro]

Woo, alright

[Verse]

Ah, listen everybody, especially you girls

Is it right to be left alone

While the one you love is never home?

I love too hard, my friends sometimes say

But I believe, I believe

A woman should be loved that way

But it hurts me so inside

To see her treat me so unkind

Somebody, somewhere tell her it's unfair

[Chorus]

Can I get a witness?

Can I get a witness?

I want a witness

Can I get a witness?

I want a witness

I want a witness

[Outro]

You've given everything you had

Even tossin' in my sleep

Oh, let it go, Gene

Let it run a while, Gene

Let it go right there, Gene

Gene, let it run right there

I wanna talk to one young lady in the audience

[Part IV: You're a Wonderful One]

[Verse]

You are so wonderful

Being near you is all that I...

Come here, baby, come here, baby, you

You show me more kindness in little ways

Than I've ever known, baby, I just wanna sing to her, my days

Tell me we'll stay together

Let me love you forever, I love you

[Chorus]

You're a wonderful one

You're a wonderful one, oh

[Part V: Stubborn Kind of Fellow]

[Intro]

Say yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Oh baby, ooh, say yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Feel like it, you can sing

[Verse]

I try to put my arms around you

All because I wanna hold you tight

Every time I reach for you, baby

And try to kiss you, you're just jumping out of sight

[Chorus]

Oh, I've got news for you

You know I've made plans for two

I guess I'm just a stubborn kind of fellow

Got my mind made up to love you

Oh, yeah

[Bridge]

Say yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Ah little baby, yes, ah baby, say yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

I see you, baby, I see you

I guess I'm just a stubborn kind of fellow

Got my mind made up to love you

You, you

[Outro]

Thank you

Thank you

[Part VI: How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)]

[Intro]

Oh darling, how sweet it is to be loved by you

Oh, yes it is, baby

In the back there

[Verse 1]

I needed the shelter of someone's arms, oh, there you were

I needed someone to understand my ups and downs

And oh, there you were

With sweet love and devotion

Deeply touching my emotion

I wanna stop, and thank you, baby

I wanna stop, and thank you, baby, woo

[Chorus]

How sweet it is to be loved by you

Oh, I mean it, baby, oh yes, you're so sweet

Woo-hoo, baby

[Verse 2]

You were better to me than I've been to myself

For me, there's you, nobody else

I want to stop, I got to stop

Stop it, baby

Stop

[Interlude]

Oh, Lord have mercy

Wait a minute, ah, wait a minute

How sweet it is, woo, Lord have mercy

I've got to stop

How sweet it is, baby

I had to break the speed down right here where it's nice and groovy

I want the groove to lay right here

I want to talk to you, tell you how sweet it is, baby

Oh, it's so sweet, how sweet it is

Oh, it's so sweet, darlin', oh yes it is

Oh, it's so sweet

You know it's sweet

How sweet...

Wait a minute, I want everybody in the house to turn to the person sitting next to them and say 'how sweet it is'

That gentleman didn't like that, sir

How sweet it is, baby

Loving you every day

How sweet it is to be loved by you

You know, ladies and gentlemen, I got to take this time on this song to express to you my sincere thanks

I'm not leaving you

But this song, I have to tell you, I love you, you've been so good to me

I love you, how sweet it is to be loved by you

How sweet it is

So sweet deep down inside my soul

Oh Lord, how sweet it is, woo, woo

Oh, how sweet it is loving you, baby

I think I've been gone a long time

I think I wanna tell you how sweet it is, baby

I wish I could come down there and talk to you, baby

I wish I could walk down and tell you how sweet it is

Oh, you're so good to me, how sweet it is loving you, baby

Oh Lord, yeah

How sweet it is to be loved by you

Oh, Gene, Gene, Gene, I'm ready to go on

Tell 'em 'bout it, Gene

How sweet it is to be loved by you

Oh, woo-hoo-ooh, woo-hoo

How sweet it is to be loved by you, and you, and you

How sweet it is

[Outro]

Thank you

Thank you very kindly, ladies and gentlemen
