Long Hot Summer Night
Written by - Jimi Hendrix
From - Electric Ladyland
It sure was a long long long hot summer night
As far as my eyes could see
Well, my heart was way down 
In a cold cold winter storm

Well, my darlin', where can you be? 
Where can you be, baby?
Where can you be?

There were three sugar walls and a two candy cane windows
But the serious mood melted ah all those in sight
Everybody's on fire but I'm uh snowin' in a cold blizzard

Where are you on this ah hot cold summer?
Where are you on this ah hot cold summer?
Where are you on this ah hot cold summer night?

Around about this time the telephone blew its horn across the room
Scared little Annie clean out of her mind and I tell ya
Roman the Candle he peeps out of his peek-a-boo hide and seek
And grabbed little Annie from the ceiling just in time
And the telephone keeps on screamin'
Yeah yeah yeah!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Hello, said my shaky voice, well how you doin'
I start to stutter
Ah, can't cha tell I'm ah doin' fine 
There was my baby talkin' she's way down 'cross the border

She says I'm gonna hurry to ya I've been a fool
And I'm tired of cryin'
Said I'm tired of cryin'

Yeah, a long long long hot summer night
As far as my eyes could see
But I can ah feel the heat comin' on as my baby's gettin' closer

I'm so glad that my baby's comin' to rescue me
So glad that my baby's comin' to rescue me
So glad my baby's comin' to rescue me
Rescue, rescue, rescue
Rescue, rescue
Rescue, rescue, what'd I say
Rescue me, rescue me
Rescue, rescue me, rescue me
Rescue
