You Goin' Miss Your Candyman Lyrics

I know you, rider
Baby, you might miss me when I'm gone,
I say, baby, when I'm gone
Better think on it, rider
Baby, you might miss me when I'm gone, gone, gone
I tell you when I'm gone now
I do declare you're gonna miss your candyman, yeah
Keepin' you safe and warm
Yeah, keepin' you out of harm

Now well, I'm goin away, baby
Yeah, I won't be back till fall
Child, I won't be back
Until late next fall now
Well I'm pushin' out, baby
Yeah I won't be back till fall
If I can find myself a good lovin women
I might not ever come back at all
I might not ever come back at all

Well the way I love my baby
I know she's gonna love me some
Yeah, my baby gonna love me some
The way I love my baby
I know she's gonna love me some
Oh when she folds her lovin' arm around me
Lord, it's just like a circle goin' round the sun
In all the whole world it ain't but one
Just like a circle goin' round the sun
Just like a circle goin' round the sun
Just like a circle goes round the sun
Wheelin' like a circle goin' around the sun
Dealin' like a circle round the sun
Reelin' like a circle goin' round the sun
Feelin' like a circle goin' round the sun
Around the sun, round the sun
Round the sun, round the sun
Well, around the sun

Now I know you, rider
Baby you might miss me when I'm gone,
Yeah, now baby, when I'm gone
You better think on it, rider
Baby you might miss me when I'm gone,
When I'm gone, oh mama when I'm gone
I do declare you're gonna miss your candyman
Well from keepin' you safe and warm
Yeah, baby, keepin' you out of harm
Now where you gonna go when it start to storm
Where you gonna go when it start to storm
Where you gonna go when it start to storm
Start to storm, start to storm
Start to storm, start to storm
Start to storm, start to storm
Start to storm, start to storm

Woouhouhououh, woouhouhououh...

I know you, rider
Baby, you might miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone, said when I'm gone now
I know you, rider
Baby you might miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone, baby, when I'm gone
Now I know you, rider
Girl, you're gonna miss me
Baby when I'm gone, yeah
I said when I'm gone
Baby when I'm gone
Baby when I'm gone

Terry Callier

Terry Callier (24 May 1945 - 28 Oct 2012) was an American jazz, soul and folk guitarist and singer-songwriter from Chicago, Illinois. Callier, a childhood friend of Curtis Mayfield, began recording in 1963 but never reached stardom despite a series of regional hits in the 1960s and 70s and three outstanding albums for Cadet: 'Occasional Rain' (1972), 'What Color Is Love' (1973) and 'I Just Can't Help Myself' (1974). In 1983, he gained custody of his 12-year-old daughter Sundiata and decided to retire from music to look for a steadier income. He took classes in computer programming and landed a job at the University of Chicago in 1984. He re-emerged from obscurity when British DJs discovered his old recordings and began to play his songs in clubs in the early 1990s. Acid Jazz Records head Eddie Pillar brought Callier to play clubs in Britain beginning in 1991 and he began to make regular trips to play gigs during his vacation time from work.

In the late 1990s Callier began his comeback to recorded music, contributing to Beth Orton's Best Bit EP in 1997 and releasing the album Timepeace in 1998, which won the United Nations' Time For Peace award for outstanding artistic achievement contributing to world peace. His colleagues at the University of Chicago never learned of Callier's life as a musician, but after the award the news of his secret life became widely known and subsequently led to his firing.[3][9]

As well as touring internationally, Callier continued his recording career, releasing five albums since Timepeace, including Lifetime (1999), Alive (2001), Speak Your Peace (2002) and Lookin' Out (2004). May 2009 saw his album Hidden Conversations featuring Massive Attack released on Mr Bongo records.[7][9] In 2001, Callier performed "Satin Doll" for the Red Hot Organization's compilation album Red Hot + Indigo, a tribute to Duke Ellington, which raised money for various charities devoted to increasing AIDS awareness and fighting the disease. Callier died on October 28, 2012, after a long illness. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
