歌詞
I met Ray Charles at the market yesterday
He was looking awfully blue
I said Ray what's gone wrong, what's amiss in your life?
He said Julie I've gone blind don't you know?
Now nothin's any good
It's worse than black and white
Now I'm not only lonely but I'm blind
What to do
What to do
What to do
What's gone on, Mr. Engineer?
I hear your train's run off the track
There were fourteen dead
And that train don't run no more
And there's no one but yourself to blame
Well I tried to stop in time said the old man with a sigh
But there was nothing I could do for all the world
What to do
What to do
What to do
Well what can you do
When things ain't so good
Now what can you do
When you're so alone
There's only you
You try to lean back
But you fall
Cause there's no one behind you
I don't know where to go
Tell me what can I do?
I can't kiss my baby anymore
Cause now he's gone off to war
He came running from the bottom of a trench
And now he's not like other boys
Baby's lost his head and he's lost his life
ANd he don't kiss his mama anymore
What to do
What to do
What to do
