A workin' man can't get nowhere today. The Hag

---

Instrumental intro
For years I've been bustin' my rear
To make a livin' but it ain't made
For years I've been tryin' to pay off my bills,
But they ain't paid.

I owe every dime I make, to every soul I know
The higher up I reach the farther down I go
And this old broken back of mine is all I've got to show, and anyway
A working man can't get nowhere today.

Lord, a working man can't get nowhere today
A working man ain't got no time to play
Today I work my fanny off and leave it lay
A working man can't get nowhere today.

Instrumental bridge
I pay my income tax and the government gives back
What I got coming, Lord, but it ain't much
I pay my child support 'cause I'm a law abiding sort
And an easy touch, yet I starve myself to death...

Tryin' to keep my family fed; I keep my budget tight
Tryin' to get myself ahead, but I know I'll still be in debt
On the day that I fall dead; that's why I say
Lord, a working man can't get nowhere today.

Well a working man can't get nowhere today
A working man ain't got no time to play
Tonight I work my fanny off, and leave it lay
A working man can't get nowhere today.

Ain't no good chain gang

---

… Bet it ain't raining back home
Bet your sister's still on the phone
Bet Momma's in the kitchen, cooking fried chicken
Wishing that I hadn't done wrong

… Momma, don't you worry about it none though
Everything's gonna be all right, Momma
They're teaching us a lot of new things in here Momma
Things like

… There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot checks down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang

Instrumental bridge
… Papa's reading yesterday's mail
Wishing that the hay was all baled
I bet he's a-wishing we could go fishing
And here I am a-laying in jail

… Well, Papa, don't you worry about it none now
Everything's gonna be all right, Papa
They're teaching us a lesson a day we're learning pretty well too
We've already learned a whole lot of stuff already
Things like

… There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot checks down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang

Refrain and outro

… There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot checks down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang

Instrumental

Fadeout of repeating refrain
… There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot checks down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang...

Battle of Armageddon. Hank

---

There's a mighty battle coming and it's well nigh on its way
It'll be fought at Amu-godden, it shall be a sad, sad day
In the Book of Revelation, words in chapter sixteen say
There'll be gathered there great armies for that battle on that day.

All the way from the gates of Eden to the Battle of Amu-godden
There's been troubles and tribulation, there'll be sorrow and despair.
He has said "Be ye not troubled for these things shall come to pass."
Then your life will be eternal when you dwell with Him at last.

Turn the pages of your Bible, in St. Matthew you will see
Start with chapter twenty-four and read from one to thirty-three
In our Savior's blessed words He said on earth, He prophesised
For He spoke of this great battle that is coming by and by.

All the way from the gates of Eden to the Battle of Amu-godden
There's been troubles and tribulation, there'll be sorrow and despair.
He has said "Be ye not troubled for these things shall come to pass."
Then your life will be eternal when you dwell with Him at last.

There'll be nation against nation, there'll be war and rumor of war
There'll be great signs in Heaven, in the sun, the moon, the stars
Oh, the hearts of men shall fail them, there'll be gnashing of the teeth
Those who seek it will recieve it, mercy at the Savior's feet.

All the way from the gates of Eden to the Battle of Amu-godden
There's been troubles and tribulation, there'll be sorrow and despair.
He has said "Be ye not troubled for these things shall come to pass."
Then your life will be eternal when you dwell with Him at last...

Angel from Montgomery

Intro
4 bangs
I am an old woman
Named after my mother
My old man is another
Child that's grown old

If dreams were thunder
And lightnin' was desire
This old house would've burnt down
At a long time ago

Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo

Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go

When I was a young girl
Well, I had me a cowboy
He weren't much to look at
Just a free ramblin' man

But that was a long time
And no matter how I tried
Those years just flow by
Like a broken down dam

Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo

Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go

There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear 'em they're buzzin'
And I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today

How the hell can a person
Go to work in the mornin'
And come home in the evenin'
And have nothin' to say

Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo

Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go

Say that you love me

Have mercy, baby, on a poor girl like me
You know I'm falling, falling, falling at your feet
I'm tingling right from my head to my toes
So help me, help me, help me make the feeling go

'Cause when the lovin' starts and the lights go down
And there's not another living soul around
You woo me until the sun comes up
And you say that you love me

Have pity, baby, just when I thought it was over
And now you got me runnin', runnin', runnin' for cover
I'm begging you for a little sympathy
And if you use me again, it'll be the end of me

'Cause when the lovin' starts and the lights go down
But there's not another living soul around
You woo me until the sun comes up
And you say that you love me

Baby, baby, hope you're gonna stay away
'Cause I'm getting weaker, weaker every day
I guess I'm not as strong as I used to be
And if you use me again, it'll be the end of me

'Cause when the lovin' starts and the lights go down
There's not another living soul around
You woo me until the sun comes up
And you say that you love me

'Cause when the lovin' starts and the lights go down
There's not another living soul around
You woo me until the sun comes up
And you say that you love me
Say that you love me
Say that you love me

Falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling (yeah)
Falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling

My Toot Toot

Intro
2 instrumental refrains
Don't mess with my toot toot
Don't mess with my toot toot
Now you can have the other woman
But don't mess with my toot toot

She was born in a birth suit
The doctor slapped her behind [slap!]
He said you're gonna be special
Hey you're gonna be fine

You can look as much
But if you much as touch
You're gonna have yourself a case
I'm gonna break your face

So don't mess with my toot toot
Don't mess with my toot toot
Now you can have the other woman
But don't mess with my toot toot

Bridge
2 instrumental refrains
Don't mess with my toot toot
Don't mess with my toot toot
Now you can have the other woman
But don't mess with my toot toot

She was born in a birth suit
The doctor slapped her behind
He said you're gonna be special
You're gonna be fine

Now you can look as much
But if you much as touch
You're gonna have yourself a case
I'm gonna break your face

So don't mess with my toot toot
Don't mess with my toot toot
Now you can have the other woman
But don't mess with my toot toot

Bridge
2 instrumental refrains
Don't mess with my toot toot

Engine No. 9. Pickett

Engine, engine number 9
Can you get me back on time?
Move on, move on down the track
Keep that steam comin' out the stack

Huh, keep on movin', keep on movin'
Keep on movin', OW

Engine, engine number 9
Keep on movin' down the line
Seems like I've been gone for days
I can't wait to see my baby's face

Look here, been so long since I held her
Been so long since I held her, OW

Instrumental bridge
(rock/jazz improv)

Been so long since I held her
Been so long since I kissed her, OW

Engine, engine number 9
Move on, move on down the line
Seems like I've been gone for days
I can't wait to see my baby's face

Move on, move on, OW
Move on, OW
Good God Almighty, got to get there
Ha, huh, ha

Oh, this soundin' alright?

I think I'm gonna hold it a little bit longer
I'm gonna let the boys cook this a little bit
Uh
