Words and Music by John Kay



If my name, Lord, comes around no more

I will surely miss it for a while or so

Should my friends desert me

I would try to make it on my own

And if the stars forsake me

I will surely find my way alone



But don't you take what we've got

Baby, please stay with me

And if you go, leave my heart

Baby, please set me free

On my life I swear to you truly, darlin

I never thought we'd drift apart

If you know, please let me go, darlin'

Don't leave me fishin' in the dark



Now, if my hands stop movin'

And my cash don't come

If I lost my power

I would sell my soul and start again

And if my demon left me

I would chase him down from where he came
