My Girl
The Temptations

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day

When it's cold outside
I've got the month of May

I guess you'd say

What can make me feel this way
My girl, my girl, my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl
My girl

I've got so much honey

The bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song
Than the birds in the trees

Well, I guess you'd say

What can make me feel this way
My girl, my girl, my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl
My girl

Ohh ohh

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

I've got all the riches baby one man can claim

Well I guess you'd say

What can make me feel this way
My girl, my girl, my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl, my girl, talkin' 'bout my girl

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day with my girl

I've even got the month of May with my girl
Talkin' 'bout, talkin' 'bout, talkin' 'bout
Brown Eyed Girl
Van Morrison

Hey, where did we go?

Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow
Playin' a new game
Laughin' and a-runnin', hey, hey
Skippin' and a-jumpin'
In the misty morning fog with
Our, our hearts a-thumping and you

My brown-eyed girl
And you, my brown-eyed girl

And whatever happened

To Tuesday and so slow?
Going down the old mine with a
Transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hiding 'hind a rainbow's wall
Slipping and sliding
All along the waterfall with you

My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl

Do you remember when we used to sing?

Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da
Just like that
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da, la-tee-da

So hard to find my way

Now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometimes I'm overcome thinking 'bout it
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl

Do you remember when we used to sing?

Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da

Son of a Preacher Man
Dusty Springfield

Intro - 4 bars

Billy Ray was the preacher's son

And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered 'round and started talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my surprise

The only one who could ever reach me

Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes, he was, he was, ooh, yes, he was

Being good isn't always easy

No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come and tell me "Everything is alright"
He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is alright"
Can I get away again tonight?

The only one who could ever reach me

Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes, he was (was), he was (was), (ooh), Lord knows, he was (yes, he was)

How well I remember

The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowin'
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes, he was (was), he was (was), oh, yes, he was

He was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man

(The only one who could ever teach me)
I kissed me the son of a preacher man
(The only boy who could ever move me)
The sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man
(The only one who could ever groove me)
(Was the son of a preacher man)
(The only one who could ever reach me)
(Was the son of a)
