You got to get your message; a stone message, honey.

A lovely line, baby, I've been wanting a line, watch it.

 Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa

 I keep singing them sad, sad songs, y'all
 Sad songs is all I know
 I keep singing them sad, sad songs, y'all
 Sad songs is all I know

 It has a sweet melody tonight
 Anybody can sing it any old time
 It touches your heart
 Puts you in a groove
 And when you sing this song
 It'll make your whole body move

 It goes, Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
 Your turn
 My turn
 Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
 Your turn now

 All my life I've been singin' sad songs
 Tryin' to get my message to you, honey
 But that's the only song, y'all, I can sing
 And when you get through singin'
 My message will be to you

 It goes, Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
 Your turn now

 It's a lovely song, y'all
 Sweet music, honey
 It's just a line, oh but
 It tells a story, baby
 You got to get the message
 A stone message, honey
 A lovely line, baby
 I'm worried in mind, watch me

 Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
 Your turn
 Everybody's turn, everybody
 Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
 One more time
 Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
 Worried in mind, y'all
 Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa...
