Show Me The Way

Hey Mama, Show me the way,

I’m caught in your trap

Hey Mama, Show me the way, 

There’s no turning back

 

Sure, I been tryin’

Tryin’ to free myself from your clutch,

I been tryin’,

Tryin’ to free my heart from your touch,

 

But I’m not givin’ up,

No, I’m not givin’ up,

Just show me the way.

 

Hey Mama, teach me to talk,

And to know what to say

Hey Mama, show what you got,

Don’t take it away.

 

Sure, I been tryin’

Tryin’ to free myself from your clutch,

I been tryin’,

But now and then the goin’ gets tough,

 

But I’m not givin’ up

No, I’m not givin’ up

Just show me the way.

 

Sometimes you can’t see what it is you got,

Like when you’re standin’ on a mountain top,

So take a good look around,

The only way to get off is to 

Get down, Get down, Get down!

 

Harp solo:

 

Show me the way,

Get Down, Get Down,

Show me the way,

 

Sure, I been tryin’

Tryin’ to free myself from your clutch,

I been tryin’,

But now and then the goin’ gets tough,

 

But I’m not givin’ up

No, I’m not givin’ up

Just show me the way, 

Just show me the way,

Just show me the way,

Just show me the way.
