(Don Rich)   Vocal: Don Rich      Well, my baby left me about a week ago   Said she found herself a brand new man   And the boss said son I'll have to let you go   And I've had about all I can stand.      That's why I'm roamin' the town just a paintin' it 'round   I said they get the best of me   So just in case that you should see me ace   Kindly lay a little light on me.      Well, I said lay a little light on me   Lay a little light on me   Don't wanna hear no moanin', right banana growin'   I've heard enough of that can't you see.      Lay a little light on me   Lay a little light on me.   Tell me all the good news, I don't wanna hear the bad news   Lay a little light on me.      --- Instrumental ---      Well, if everything that I done lately ain't worth a dime   No nothing seems to work out right   Like a bad idea that went all wrong   It sure been an uphill fight.      But the life they say goes on day by day   And there's no use to sit here a cryin'   'Cause I can change the tide on the oceans wide   This old bad luck's gotta change sometime.      Yeah, lay a little light on me   Lay a little light on me.   Tell me all the good news, I don't wanna hear the bad news   Lay a little light on me.      Yeah, lay a little light on me...
