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.

Tag
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

Don't mess with my toot toot
Don't mess with my toot toot

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

99 and a half won't do

I got to have all your love
Both night and day, oh yeah
Not just a little part, but all of your heart
Oh yes, I do, child

Ninety-nine and a half just won't do

No, ain't gonna get it, no, no
Don't be led in the wrong direction (oh no)
Start this thing, a man needs a little love and affection
Oh yes, he do, child

Ninety-nine and a half just won't do (whoa)

Just won't get it (no, no)
We got to bring it all down
And start getting right, oh yes we do now, child
Stop messin' around

And keep things up tight

Oh, yeah

We got to realize that ninety-nine and a half just won't do

No, got to have a hundred, oh yeah
Got to have a hundred (no)
Ain't no use in foolin' ourselves, honey
We ain't gonna be able to get by on ninety-nine

No, got to have a hundred
Lord have mercy
Just won't do no

It just won't do, now

I'll Have A New Body

---

On that resurrection morning
When all dead in Christ shall rise
I'll have a new body
Praise the Lord, I'll have a new life

Won't it be so bright and fair
When we meet our loved ones there
I'll have a new body
Praise the Lord, I'll have a new life

I'll have a new home of glory eternal
Where the redeemed of God shall stand
There'll be no more sorrow
(No more pain)
There'll be no more strife

Raised in the likeness of my Savior
Ready to live in Paradise
I'll have a new body
Praise the Lord, I'll have a new life

When old Gabriel blows his trumpet
And we walk the streets of gold
I'll have a new body
Praise the Lord, I'll have a new life

No more pain worry sorrow
In this wicked world of sin
I'll have a new body
Praise the Lord, I'll have a new life

I'll have a new home of glory eternal
Where the redeemed of God shall stand
There'll be no more sorrow
(No more pain)
There'll be no more strife

Raised in the likeness of my Savior
Ready to live in Paradise
I'll have a new body
Praise the Lord, I'll have a new life

Oh dear brother are you living
For that day when Christ shall come
I'll have a new body
Praise the Lord, I'll have a new life

Graves all bursting saints a shouting
Heavenly beauty all around
I'll have a new body
Praise the Lord, I'll have a new life

I'll have a new home of glory eternal
Where the redeemed of God shall stand
There'll be no more sorrow
(No more pain)
There'll be no more strife

Raised in the likeness of my Savior
Ready to live in Paradise
I'll have a new body
Praise the Lord, I'll have a new life

Ozark Mountain Lullaby

In the cradle deep baby sleeps by the warm soft firelight
Mama's singin' daddy's hummin' the Ozark Mountain lullaby
La la la la la la la lala loulou lou loulou la
Mama's singin' daddy's hummin' the Ozark Mountain lullaby

Mama's fixin' up some supper daddy's workin' up a sweat
Cause anytime the creek might rise and the crops ain't all in yet
Sister's got her chores to do and Lord knows I've got mine
We rest our head when the day is ended to the Ozark Mountain lullaby
La la la la la la la lala loulou lou loulou la
Mama's singin' daddy's hummin' the Ozark Mountain lullaby

The Lord smiles on our country home
The love that's not here to buy
And while we children grow we learn to know
That love is the tie that binds
Someday when we're on our own with a family by and by
We'll be singin' to our children the Ozark Mountain lullaby
La la la la la la la lala loulou lou loulou la
Mama's singin' daddy's hummin' the Ozark Mountain lullaby

La la la la la la la...

You're No Good

Feelin' better now that we're through
Feelin' better, 'cause I'm over you
I learned my lesson, it left a scar
Now I see how you really are

You're no good

You're no good
Baby, you're no good

I'm gonna say it again
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good

I broke a heart that's gentle and true
Well, I broke a heart over someone like you
I'll beg his forgiveness on bended knee
I wouldn't blame him if he said to me

You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good

I'm gonna say it again
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good

And I'm going my way
Forget about you, baby

I'm gonna say it again

Satin sheets to lie on,

I'm not happy don't you see?

Big long Cadillac,

I want you to set me free

I found another man
who can give more than you can
Though you've given me
everything money can buy

But your money can't hold me tight
Like he does on a long, long night
You know
you didn't keep me satisfied

Truck Drivin' Man

Short intro
Last note of 2d bang
I stopped at a road house in Texas
It was a little place called Hamburg Dan's
And I heard that old jukebox a playin'
A song about a truck drivin' man

Pour me another cup of coffee
For it is the best in the land
I'll put a nickel in the jukebox
And play The Truck Drivin' Man

The waitress just brought me some coffee
I thanked her but called her again
I said that old song sure does fit me
'Cause I'm a truck drivin' man

Pour me another cup of coffee
For it is the best in the land
I'll put a nickel in the jukebox
And play The Truck Drivin' Man

Bridge

I climbed back aboard my old semi
And then like a flash I was gone
I got them old truck wheels a rollin'
I'm on my way to San Antone

Pour me another cup of coffee
For it is the best in the land
I'll put a nickel in the jukebox
And play The Truck Drivin' Man
And play The Truck Drivin' Man

The Great Judgment Morning

I dreamed that the great judgement morning
Had dawned and the trumpet had blown
I dreamed that the nations had gathered
To judgement before the white throne

From the throne came a bright shining angel
And stood on the land and the sea
And swore with her hand raised to heaven
That time was no longer to be

And oh, what weeping and wailing
As the lost were told of their fate
They cried for the rocks and the mountains
They prayed, but their prayers were too late

The rich man was there, but his money
Had melted and vanished away
A pauper stood there in the judgment
His debts were too many to pay

The great man was there, but his greatness
When death came, was left far behind
The angel that opened the records
No trace of his greatness could find

The widow stood there and the orphans
God heard and remembered their cries
No sorrow in heaven forever
God wiped all the tears from their eyes

The gambler was there, and the drunkard
And they who had sold them the drink
With people who gave them the license
Together in hell they did sink

And oh, what weeping and wailing
As the lost were told of their fate
They cried for the rocks and the mountains
They prayed, but their prayers were too late

The moral man to the judgment
But self-righteousness would not do
All the men who had crucified Jesus
Had passed off as moral men, too

And the souls that had put off salvation
"Not tonight, I'll get saved by and by
No time now to think of religion"
But at last they'd found time to die

And oh, what weeping and wailing
As the lost were told of their fate
They cried for the rocks and the mountains
And they prayed, but their prayers were too late

Rocky Top

Intro
One 'verse' and a short riff
Wish that I was on ol' Rocky Top
Down in the Tennessee hills
Ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top
Ain't no telephone bills

Once I had a girl on Rocky Top
Half bear, other half cat
Wild as a mink, but sweet as soda pop
I still dream about that

Rocky Top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol' Rocky Top
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee

Bridge
Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top
Ground's too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top
Get their corn from a jar

Once two strangers climbed ol' Rocky Top
Lookin' for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top
Reckon they never will

Rocky Top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol' Rocky Top
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee

Bridge
I've had years of cramped-up city life
Stuck like a duck in a pen
All I know is it's a pity life
Can't be simple again

Rocky Top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol' Rocky Top
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee

Verse 4
One day I'll go back to Rocky Top
to look up my old neighbors
Can't say who's still on Rocky Top
gettin' poorer for their labors

Tumbling Dice

People try to rape me
Always think I'm crazy
Make me burn the candle right down
Baby I can't stay
I don't need your jewels in my frown

Now all you women are low-down gamblers
Cheating like I don't know how
Baby I go crazy
There's fever in the funkhouse now

Well this low-down bitching
Got my poor feet a-itching
Can't you see the deuce is still wild
Baby get it straight
You got to roll me
And call me the tumbling dice

Always in a hurry
Never stop to worry
Can't see the time passing by
Honey got no money
I'm sixes and sevens and nines

Well hey now baby I'm the rank outsider
You can be my partner in crime
Baby get it straight
You got to roll me
Call me the tumbling dice

Bridge
I said my my my
I'm the lone crapshooter
Playing the field every night
Baby get it straight
You got to roll me
Call me the tumbling dice

You got to roll me
Babe you got to roll me
Babe you got to roll me
Oh oh oh you got to roll me
Woo hoo hoo you got to roll me
Woah babe you got to roll me
Baby babe you got to roll me

[Intro]
The night was clear and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down

[Verse 1]
I was standing on the corner when I heard my bulldog bark
He was barkin' at two men who was gamblin' in the dark, ah yeah

It was Stagger Lee and Billy, two men who gambled late
Stagger Lee threw seven, Billy swore that he threw eight, ah yeah

Stagger Lee (Stagger Lee) cried Billy (Stagger Lee)
"Oh, you know I ain't goin' for that" (Stagger Lee)

"You done stole all my money and my brand new Cadillac" (Stagger Lee)
A looka here, y'all (Stagger Lee)

[Bridge]
Now, Stagger Lee went home and he brought back a long forty-four
He said "I got to pay Billy a little debt I owe"
Listen, let me tell ya

[Verse 2]
Stagger Lee (Stagger Lee) went to the barroom (Stagger Lee)
And he stood on the barroom floor (Stagger Lee)
He said "Don't nobody move" and he pulled his forty-four (Stagger Lee)

Yes, he did, y'all (Stagger Lee)
"Stagger Lee" cried Billy, "Oh, please don't take my life
I got three little children and a very sickly wife," oh yeah

Stagger Lee (Stagger Lee) shot Billy (Stagger Lee)
Oh, he shot that poor boy so bad (Stagger Lee)
That the bullet went through Billy, broke the bartender's glass
(Stagger Lee) Yes, it did, y'all (Stagger Lee)

[Outro]
Well, Billy's gone on home now
but one thing about it:
it'll teach you gamblers a lesson

(Stagger Lee, woo)
(Stagger Lee, woo)
Billy's gone on home

Left three children to weep and moan

He's gone on home
he's gone on home
He can't shake, rattle and roll no more

D-I-V-O-R-C-E

Our little boy is four years old and quite a little man
So we spell out the words we don't want him to understand
Like T-O-Y or maybe S-U-R P-R-I-S-E
But the words we're hiding from him now
Tear the heart right out of me.

Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E; becomes final today
Me and little J-O-E will be goin' away
I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E.

Watch him smile, he thinks it Christmas
Or his 5th Birthday
And he thinks C-U-S-T-O-D-Y spells fun or play
I spell out all the hurtin' words
And turn my head when I speak
'Cause I can't spell away this hurt
That's drippin' down my cheek.

Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E; becomes final today
Me and little J-O-E will be goin' away
I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E.

Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad

I've never seen the inside of a bar room
Or listened to a Jukebox all night long
But I see these are the things that bring you pleasure
So I'm gonna make some changes in our home

I've heard it said if you can't beat 'em join 'em
So if that's the way you wanted me to be
I'll change if it takes that to make you happy
From now on you're gonna see a different me

Because your good girl's gonna go bad
I'm gonna be the swinginest swinger you've ever had
If you like 'em painted up, powdered up
Then you oughta be glad
'Cause your good girl's gonna go bad

I'll even learn to like the taste of whisky
In fact, you'll hardly recognise your wife
I'll buy some brand new clothes and dress up fancy
For my journey to the wilder side of life

Because your good girl's gonna go bad
I'm gonna be the swinginest swinger you've ever had
If you like 'em painted up, powdered up
Then you oughta be glad
'Cause your good girl's gonna go bad

Oh yeah, your good girl's gonna go bad

I ain't gonna be messin' 'round with no cocaine

Angel of death

---

In the great book of John
You're warned of the day
When you'll be laid
Beneath the cold clay

The Angel of Death
Will come from the sky
And claim your poor soul
When the time comes to die

When the Angel of Death
Comes down after you
Can you smile and say
That you have been true

Can you truthfully say
With your dying breath
That you're ready to meet
The Angel of Death

When the lights all grow dim
And the dark shadows creep
And then your lived ones
Are gathered to weep

Can you face them and say
With your dying breath
That you're ready to meet
The Angel of Death

When the Angel of Death
Comes down after you
Can you smile and say
That you have been true

Can you truthfully say
With your dying breath
That you're ready to meet
The Angel of Death

A Gallant Kerry Soldier

A Gallant Kerry soldier
lay dying on the Liffey banks
He lay dying there while escaping
from the cruel Black And Tan

A comrade held him kindly
with his head upon his knee
And to him did softly whisper,
take this message to Tralee

Tell my mother not to sorrow.
It would give me peace and joy
To know that she's the mother proud
of her own dear Irish boy

Tell her I'm dying quiet happily
and from trouble I am free
Won't you take this lonely message
to my mother in Tralee.

Short bridge

Tell my only little brother
I'm dying a hero's death
That I fought for dear old Ireland
in my last long heaving breath

Tell him always love his country
and never a traitor be
Won't you take this lonely message
to the brave boys in Tralee.

But oh there is another
and for her I can scarcely speak,
Would she weep if she could see me,
expiring tired and weak

She would 'cause she was kind to me
and good friends we used to be
Won't you take this lonely message
to my Eileen in Tralee.

Short bridge
Did she not regret our parting
for indeed it would be her lot
For she shared in all the sufferings
of her own dear Irish coll

Tell her I'm dying quiet happily
and the truth I give to thee
May she never know one sorrow
in her home in sweet Tralee.

As he spoke his voice grew weaker.
He clasped his comrade's hand
God with you, his comrade speaks,
proud son of Paddy's land

He kissed him as a brother.
Heaven be your bed, says he.
Cruel war has rudely taken
our brave boy from Tralee
Outro

One of these days

I won't have to chop no wood I can be bad or I can be good
I can be any way that I feel one of these days
Oh, I won't answer to anyone, I'll get up with the mornin' sun
But I'll be gone like a bird could fly one of these days

I might be a woman/man that's dressed in black, be a hobo by the railroad track
Goin' any place that I want to go one of these days
Do anything, that I want, if I want to, or if I don't
But I'll be gone like the wayward wind one of these days

One of these days it will soon be all over, cut and dry
And I won't have this urge to go all bottled up inside
One of these days I'll look back, and I'll say I left in time
'Cause somewhere for me, I know there's peace of mind

Short bridge
I might someday be a preacher man, carry the Lord's Book in my hand
Going 'cross the country singing loud as I can one of these days
But I won't have trouble on my back, cutting like the Devil with a chopping axe
Got to shake it off of my back one of these days

One of these days it will soon be all over, cut and dry
And I won't have this urge to go all bottled up inside
One of these days I'll look back, and I'll say I left in time
'Cause somewhere for me, I know there's peace of mind
There's gotta/gonna be peace of mind for me one of these days

The Glen of Aherlo

On a mountain, wild and eery
stood a brave young volunteer
By his side, his darling Mary
fondly ties his bandoleer

On his shoulder, she lay crying
Oh my love, please don't go
for I know that men are dying
in the Glen of Aherlo

I must go though I am hounded
from the home and the friends I know
for my comrades are surrounded
in the Glen of Aherlo

As he marched away to glory
to return she knew not when,
loud sounds told the story
of the fighting in the glen

And the sound of rifles firing
set her free young heart to fear
Mary breath-ed a prayer to heaven
for her brave young volunteer

I must go tho I am hounded
from the home and the friends I know
for my comrades are surrounded
in the Glen of Aherlo

On a mountain wild and eery
in the land he loved the best
his young comrades and his Mary
simply laid him down to rest

There a lonely watch was keeping
while her young heart cried its fill
For altho he lies a-sleeping,
far away she hears him still

I must go though I am hounded
from the home and the friends I know
for my comrades are surrounded
in the Glen of Aherlo

I must go though I am hounded
from the home and the friends I know
for my comrades are surrounded
in the Glen of Aherlo

When the pale horse and his rider goes by

Listen poor sinner, you`re driftin` away
From the Dear Savior, who`s pleading to- day
What will you do, when the Savior ain`t nigh
When the Pale Horse, and his rider goes by

The time now ain`t long, when the Savior will come
Then you`ll be judged, by the deeds you have done
On that judgment day, you`ll weep and you`ll cry
When the Pale Horse, and his rider goes by

When that trumpet sounds, on the sinners below
Not even the angels, in heaven will know
It's then that you`ll wish, you had Jesus nigh
When the Pale Horse, and his rider goes by

Won`t you redeem, your poor wicked soul
You can`t pay your way, with Silver and Gold
If you`re not saved, you`ll be lost in the night
When the Pale Horse, and his rider goes by

Your cheatin' heart (Tammy version)

Your cheatin' heart
will tell on you
You'll cry and cry
the whole night thru

You're gonna walk the floor
just the way I do
Your cheating heart
will tell on you

When tears come down
like falling rain
Your gonna toss around
and call my name

Your gonna walk the floor
just the way that I do
Your cheating heart
will tell on you

When tears come down

you're gonna toss around
and call my name

Your gonna walk the floor
just the way that I do

Your cheating heart. Hank and Loretta

Your cheatin' heart
will make you weep
You'll cry and cry
and try to sleep

But sleep won't come
the whole night through
Your cheatin' heart
will tell on you

When tears come down
like fallin' rain
You'll toss around
and call my name

You'll walk the floor
the way I do
Your cheatin' heart
will tell on you

Bridge
Your cheatin' heart
will pine someday
And crave the love
you threw away

The time will come
when you'll be blue
Your cheatin' heart
will tell on you

When tears come down
like fallin' rain
You'll toss around
and call my name

You'll walk the floor
the way I do
Your cheatin' heart
will tell on you

Southern nights

[Verse 1]
Southern nights
Have you ever felt a Southern night?
Free as a breeze
Not to mention the trees
Whistlin' tunes that you know and love so

[Verse 2]
Southern nights
Just as good even when you, close your eyes
I apologize
To anyone who can truly say
He has found a better way

Bridge
[Verse 3]
Southern skies
Have you ever sought the Southern skies? (In Southern sky)
Its precious beauty, lies just beyond the eye
It goes runnin' through your soul
Like the stories told of old

[Verse 4]
Old man
He and his dog that walk the old land
Every flower in his cold hand
As he slowly walks by
Weepin' willows would cry for joy


[Verse 5]
Feels so good
Feels so good, it's frightening
Wish I could
Stop this world from fighting
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da

[Verse 6]
Mystery
Like this and many others in the trees
Blow in the night
In the Southern skies

[Verse 7]
Southern nights
They feel so good it's frightening
Wish I could (Southern nights)
Stop this world from fighting
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da, la-da-da
Da-DA-da, da-da-da-da-da-da

Country roads

[Verse 1]
Almost Heaven, West Virginia

Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze

[Chorus]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

[Verse 2]
All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

[Chorus]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

[Vocal bridge]
I hear her voice in the morning hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road, I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

[Chorus]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

[Outro]
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

I Am Bound For The Promised Land

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land
Where my possessions lie

I am bound for the promised land
I am bound for the promised land
Oh, who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land

O'er all those wide extended plains
Shine on eternal day
There God the Son forever reigns
And scatters night away

I am bound for the promised land
I am bound for the promised land
Oh, who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land

No chilling winds nor poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death
Are felt and feared no more

I am bound for the promised land
I am bound for the promised land
Oh, who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land

When shall I reach that happy place
And be forever blessed?
When shall I see my Father's face
And in His bosom rest?

I am bound for the promised land
I am bound for the promised land
Oh, who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land

Long outro

The Timbercutter's song

Tired and hungry, thirsty and weak
I been a-cuttin' timber at the fork of the creek
I been a-cuttin' timber at the fork of the creek

Way down yonder on the Yankee banks
where the bullfrogs jump from bank to bank
there's a pretty little woman in a pine log shack
walkin' the floor till I get back

Store man store man cash my check
Have you got any beads for a lady's neck?
I need some tobacco and a fishin' line
Some bacon and beans and a jug of wine

Tired and hungry, thirsty and weak
I been a-cuttin' timber at the fork of the creek
I been a-cuttin' timber at the fork of the creek

Give me an ax and a real good file
Some talcum powder for the youngest child
A banjo string for my old grandpa
and kidney pills for my mother in law

The biggest timber that I ever did see
I stuck my ax in a virgin tree
It took three weeks to chop her down
The whole earth trembled when she hit the ground

Tired and hungry, thirsty and weak
I been a-cuttin' timber at the fork of the creek
I been a-cuttin' timber at the fork of the creek

When my sweet woman wears them pearls,
I get some smiles from the other girls.
But it won't do them gals no good.
Cause I'm a true-blue pecker-wood.

I need some rosin for my fiddle bow.
Some turpentine for my snake-bit toe.
I know that's more than my check will pay.
Could you loan me a dollar till the next pay day?

Tired and hungry, thirsty and weak
I been a-cuttin' timber at the fork of the creek
I been a-cuttin' timber at the fork of the creek

Fade-out
I been a-cuttin' timber at the fork of the creek
I been a-cuttin' timber at the fork of the creek

Rainbow Stew

Ba ba BAH, ba ba BUM...then 2 beats

There's a big, brown cloud in the city
And the countryside's a sin
The price of life is too high to give up
It's gotta come down again

But worldwide war is over and done
And the dream of peace comes true
We'll all be drinkin' that free Bubble Up
And eatin' that rainbow stew

When they find out how to burn water
And the gasoline car is gone
When an airplane flies without any fuel
And the sunlight heats our home

But one of these days when the air clears up
And the sun comes shinin' through
We'll all be drinkin' that free Bubble Up
And eatin' that rainbow stew

2 beats
Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon
Underneath that sky of blue
We'll all be drinkin' that free Bubble Up
And eatin' that rainbow stew

Bridge/breakdown

Piano break
(Here comes Don)
Horn break

You don't have to get high to get happy
Just think about what's in store
When people start doin' what they oughta be doin'
Then they won't be booin' no more

When a President goes through the White House door
Does what he says he'll do
We'll all be drinkin' that free Bubble Up
And eatin' that rainbow stew

Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon
Underneath that sky of blue
We'll all be drinkin' that free Bubble Up
And eatin' that rainbow stew

Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon
Underneath that sky of blue
We'll all be drinkin' free Bubble Up
And eatin' that rainbow stew

Quick outro

California Cotton Fields

Tanya version

Intro
Three bangs

My driftin' memory goes back to the spring of '43
When I was just a child in momma's arms
My daddy plowed the ground and promised someday we would leave
This run-down mortgaged Oklahoma farm

Then one night I heard my daddy sayin' to my momma
That he finally saved enough for her to go
California was his dream, a paradise, for he had seen
Pictures, in magazines, that told him so

Refrain
California cotton fields
Where labor camps were filled with weary men with broken dreams
California cotton fields
Was close to wealth as daddy ever came

Bridge
Almost everything we had was sold or left behind
From daddy's plow to the soup that momma canned
Some folks came to say farewell or see what all we had to sell
Some just came to shake my daddy's hand

That model A was loaded down and California bound
A change of luck was just four days away
But the only change that I remember seeing in my daddy
Was when his dark hair turned to silver gray

Refrain
California cotton fields
Where labor camps were filled with weary men with broken dreams
California cotton fields
Was close to wealth as daddy ever came

Quick outro
California cotton fields
Fade
Where labor camps were filled with weary men with broken dreams

Paradise

Two bangs
When I was a child my family would travel
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
There's a backwoods old town that's often remembered
So many times that my memories are worn.

And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry my son/child, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

Bridge
3 ding dongs
Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River
To an abandoned old prison down by Airdrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill.

And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry my son/child, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

Short bridge
Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man.

And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry my son/child, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

—

Lynn drops final verse
+++++++++++++++++
When I die let my ashes float down the Green River
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam
I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin'
Just five miles away from wherever I am.

And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

Vocal intro/semi-refrain
I got the hungries for your love
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line

Well, I ain't got nothing but the shirt on my back
And an old, two button, suit
I walked out on my job about a week ago
And now I'm sleepin' in a telephone booth

But I'm a-gonna be the richest guy around
The day, you say, you're mine
I got the hungries for your love
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line

Well, when I first saw you, babe, you nearly made me wreck
My ol' '49 Cadillac
I knew at a glance that it was you for me
Yell, I had to have your love by heck

I got nothin', to lose, but my time
I got the hungries for your love
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line

Well, you made me the top dog on your hill
And, I was, overjoyed

Well, I'm a-losin' weight and a-turnin' mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

Just the kind to fit my, dreams and plans

Streets of Bakersfield

I came here looking for something
I couldn't find anywhere else
I don't want to be nobody
Just wanna chance to be myself

I've done a thousand miles of thumbin'
Yes I've worn blisters on my heels
Trying to find me something better
on the streets of Bakersfield

You don't know me, but you don't like me
You say you care less how I feel
How many of you that sit and judge me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

Bridge
Spent some time in San Francisco
spent a night there in the can
They threw this drunk man in my jail cell
I took fifteen dollars from that man

I left him my watch and my old house key
I don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal
Then I thanked him as he was sleeping
And I headed out for Bakersfield

You don't know me, but you don't like me
You say you care less how I feel
How many of you that sit and judge me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

Outro
How many of you that sit and judge me

Look away ye rollin' river
And with notions, his canoe was laden
Look away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

And he said, Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Look away ye rollin' river
And it was for her I crossed the waters
Look away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Bridge
All instruments, banjo up
Sg: Soft fiddle bit
Well, it's fair-thee-well, I'm bound to leave you
Look away ye rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you
Look away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Bridge
All instruments, dobro up
Sg: Fiddle bit
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Look away ye rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Sing Me Back Home

3d heavy drum beat
The warden, led a prisoner, down the hallway to his doom
I stood up, to say goodbye like all the rest
And I heard him, tell the warden, just before he reached my cell
"Let my guitar, playing friend do my request"

Let him sing me back home, with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories, come alive
Take me away, and turn back the years
Sing me back home, before I die

I recall last Sunday morning, a choir from off the streets
Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him, tell the singers, "There's a song my mama sang
Could I hear it once, before you move along?"

Won't ya sing me back home, with the the song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away, and turn back the years
Sing me back home, before I die
Sing me back home, before I die

Last refrain optional
Won't you sing me back home, the the song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
Sing me back home before I die

Love's Gonna Live Here

Oh the sun's gonna shine, in my life once more
Love's gonna live here again
Things are gonna be the way they, were before
Love's gonna live here again

Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here again
No more loneliness, only happiness
Love's gonna live here again

Bridge
I hear bells a-ringing, I hear birds a-singing
Love's gonna live here again
I hear bee's a-humming, and I know the day's a-coming
Love's gonna live here again

Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here again

No more loneliness, only happiness
Love's gonna live here again
Love's gonna live here again

Wayfaring Stranger

Intro with Mandolin (one 'verse')
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woe
And there's no sickness, no toil nor danger
In that bright land to which I go

I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home

Bridge
Breakdown: Guitar, dobro, fiddle, banjo

I know dark clouds will gather round me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
In Christ redeemed, their vigils keep

I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I go
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home

Bridge
Breakdown: Mandolin/banjo, bass
I want to wear that crown of glory
When I get home to that bright land
Well, I want to shout salvation's story
In concert with all the blood-washed band

Outro
I'm going there to see my Savior
I'm going there no more to roam

No Roots

Bass intro
2 bangs and a bong
I like digging holes and
Hiding things inside them
When I grow old I hope
I won't forget to find them
'Cause I've got memories and
Travel like gypsies in the night

I build a home and wait for
Someone to tear it down
Then pack it up in boxes
Head for the next town running
'Cause I've got memories and
Travel like gypsies in the night

And a thousand times I've seen this road
A thousand times

I've got no roots
For my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots
For my home was never on the ground
I've got no ro-o-o-o-o-ots
I've got no ro-o-o-o-o-ots [x2]

I like standing still
But that's just a wishful plan
Ask me where I come from
I'll say a different land
But I've got memories and
Travel like gypsies in the night

I count gates and numbers
Then play the guessing game
It's just the place that changes
The rest is still the same
But I've got memories and
Travel like gypsies in the night

And a thousand times I've seen this road
A thousand times

I've got no roots
For my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots
For my home was never on the ground
I've got no ro-o-o-o-o-ots
I've got no ro-o-o-o-o-ots [x2]

I like digging holes
Hiding things inside them
When I grow old
I won't forget to find them [x2]

I've got no roots

Bridge
I've got no roots
For my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots
For my home was never on the ground
I've got no ro-o-o-o-o-ots
I've got no ro-o-o-o-o-ots

Midnight mover. Wilson Pickett

I'm a midnight mover
All night through
I'm a midnight teaser
Real soul pleaser
I'm a midnight hugger
All night long
And a lover

Trust in me when you're down and out
I will always bring you up
They call me the midnight mover
I'm a midnight walker
Sweet soul talker

I'm a midnight creeper
All day sleeper
I'm a midnight rover
Have to look things overr>
Leave your love light shinin' bright
Makes me know that everything's all right

I'm a mover, groover, teaser, pleasure
Hugger, lover, walker, talker

Got to be a midnight mover
Got to be a midnight groover
Got to be a midnight teaser
Got to be a midnight pleasure
Got to be a midnight hunger
Got to be a midnight lover
Got to be a midnight walker
Got to be a midnight talker
Got to be a midnight creeper

Mother in law

(Mother-in-law), mother-in-law
(Mother-in=law), mother-in-law

The worst person I know
(Mother-in-law), mother-in-law
She worries me so

(Mother-in-law), mother-in-law

If she'd leave us alone
We would have a happy home
Sent from down below

(Mother-in-law), mother-in-law
(Mother-in-law), mother-in-law

Satan should be her name
(Mother-in-law), mother-in-law
To me they're 'bout the same

(Mother-in-law), mother-in-law

Every time I open my mouth
Steps in to try put me out
How could she stoop so low

(Mother-in-law), mother-in-law
(Mother-in-law), mother-in-law

Bridge
I come home with my pay

(Mother-in-law), mother-in-law
She asks me what I made

(Mother-in-law), mother-in-law

She thinks her advice is the constitution
But if she would leave that would be the solution
And don't come back no more

(Mother-in-law) MYYY mother-in-law, mother in law

A Cabin in Gloryland

Many years I've been lookin' for a place to call home
But I fail yet to find it, so I must travel on
I don't care for fine mansions on earth's sinkin' sand
Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land

Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land
In the shade of the tree of life that it may ever stand
Where I can just hear the angels sing and shake Jesus' hand
Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land

Blessed Lord, I'm not askin' to live in the midst
For I know I'm not worthy of such splendor as this
But I'm askin' for mercy while humbly I stand
Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land

Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land
In the shade of the tree of life that it may ever stand
Where I can just hear the angels sing and shake Jesus' hand
Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land

I have many loved one's who've gone on this way
On the Great Final mornin' shall I hear them say
Come and join in the singin' and play in our band
Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land

Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land
In the shade of the tree of life that it may ever stand
Where I can just hear the angels sing and shake Jesus' hand
Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land

I shot the sheriff Clapton

fix garbled lyrics
(i shot the sheriff)
but I did not shoot the deputy

(I shot the sheriff) but I didn't shoot the deputy

All around in my home town
(i shot the sheriff) They're trying to track me down
They say they want to bring me in
For the killing of a deputy
For the life of a deputy, but I say
(i shot the sheriff) but I swear it was in self-defense

(I shot the sheriff) they say it is a capital offense
i say
For what I don't know
Every time that I plant a seed
he say kill it before it grows
kill it before it grows
but I swear it was in self-defense

(I shot the sheriff) but I swear it was in self-defense
Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town
All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down
So I shot, I shot him down, I say but I did not shoot the deputy

(I shot the sheriff) but I didn't shoot the deputy
Reflexes got the better of me
And what is to be must be
Every day the bucket goes to the well
One day the bottom will drop out
Yes, one day the bottom will drop out,
but I say

(I shot the sheriff) but I did not shoot no deputy, oh no
(I shot the sherif f) but I didn't shoot the deputy
All around in my home town
They're trying to track me down
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy
For the of a deputy, but I say
but I swear it was in self-defense


(I shot sheriff) they say it is a capital offense
Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what I don't know

Every time that I plant a seed
He said, "Kill it before it grows"
He said, "Kill it before it grows",

I say
but I swear it was in self-defense
(I shot the sheriff) but I swear it was in self-defense
Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town
All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down
So I shot, I shot him down, I say
but I did not shoot the deputy

(i shot the sheriff) but I didn't shoot the deputy
Reflexes got the better of me
And what is to be must be
Every day the bucket goes to the well
One day the bottom will drop out
Yes, one day the bottom will drop out, but I say
but I didn't shoot the deputy, oh no
(I shot the sheriff) but I did not shoot no deputy, oh no

Texas. Tanya

 

When I die I may not go to heaven

I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boys
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been

New York couldn't hold my attention
Detroit City couldn't sing my song
If tomorrow finds me busted flat in Dallas
I won't care, 'cause at least I'll know I'm home

When I die I may not go to heaven
I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boys
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been

I'd ride through all of Hell and half of Texas
Just to hear Willie Nelson sing a country song
Beer just ain't as cold in old Milwaukee
My body's here, but my soul's in San Antone

When I die I may not go to heaven
Well I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boys
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been

When I die, well, I may not go to heaven
I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boys
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been

When I die, well, I may not go to heaven, no
I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been

When I die, well, I may not go to heaven, no
I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boys
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been

When I die well, I may not go to heaven, no
I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas
Texas is as close as I've been

When I die well, I may not go to heaven, no
I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been

When I die well, I may not go to heaven
I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go
