1. _ Jawbone
E f# b a e
Oh, jawbone, when did you first go wrong?
F#7 b a e
Oh, jawbone, where is it you belong?
D d/f# g b/f#
Three time looser, you'l never learn,
Em c a
Lay down your tools before you burn.
D g b/f#
Ya keep on runnin' and hidin' your face,
Em c a
Spreadin' your heat all over the place.
(chorus:)
B e c#m f#m
I'm a thief and i dig it!
E c#m
I'm up on a beef, i'm gonna rig it!
E c#m
I'm a thief and i dig it!
Oh, jawbone, why don't cha sit and moan?
Oh, jawbone, you know that it's stone for stone.
Sneak through the night upon your toes,
To look in your eye, it never shows.
Your name upon the post office wall,
Put you on edge 'cause they wrote it too small!
(chorus)
Oh, jawbone, revenge stays on your mind.
Oh, jawbone, you been doin' too much time.
Pull off a job with an inside man,
Who needs the cash and likes your plan.
Then you will know just who to thank,
When you land right back in the tank.
(chorus)
Oh, jawbone, why dont'cha go home?
Oh, jawbone, where is it you belong?
Boostin' and goin' out on the lam,
Ya know that you'll steal anything that you can.
Temptation stands just behind the door,
So what you wanna go and open it for?
(chorus)

3. _ Get Up, Jake
(chorus:)
A bm
Get up, jake, it's late in the mornin'
D a
The rain is pourin' and we got work to do.
Bm
Get up, jake, there's no need a-lyin',
D a
You tell me that you're dyin', but i know it's not true.
A g d a
Now, me and jake, we work down on the river,
G d a
On the ferry "baltimore".
G d a
And when jake don't rise up in the mornin',
G d a
People lined up all along the shore.
(chorus)
Crap game will take you to the cleaners,
Rye whiskey to the grave.
River woman don't you come no closer,
'cause me and jake got no time to save, oh, oh,
(chorus)
Dirty dan he came up from savannah,
Carried a mean streak in his eye.
Now, him and jake both wanted annabella,
I guess one man here has got to die.
Get up, jake, it's late in the mornin'
The rain is pourin' and we got work to do.
Get up, jake, there's no need a-dyin',
Annabelle's cryin' and it's all for you.

4. _ Up On Cripple Creek
A d
When i get off of this mountain, you know where i want to go?
A d e
Straight down the mississippi river, to the gulf of mexico
A d
To lake charles, louisiana, little bessie, girl that i once knew
A d e
She told me just to come on by, if there's anything she could do
Refrain:
A
Up on cripple creek she sends me
D
If i spring a leak she mends me
E
I don't have to speak, she defends me
F#m g
A drunkard's dream if i ever did see one
Good luck had just stung me, to the race track i did go
She bet on one horse to win and i bet on another to show
The odds were in my favor, i had 'em five to one
When that nag to win came around the track, sure enough she had won
(refrain)
I took up all of my winnings, and i gave my little bessie half
And she tore it up and threw it in my face, just for a laugh
Now there's one thing in the whole wide world, i sure would like to see
That's when that little love of mine, dips her doughnut in my tea
(refrain)
Now me and my mate were back at the shack, we had spike jones on the box
She said, "i can't take the way he sings, but i love to hear him talk"
Now that just gave my heart a throb, to the bottom of my feet
And i swore and i took another pull, my bessie can't be beat
(refrain)
Now there's a flood out in california and up north it's freezing cold
And this living on the road is getting pretty old
So i guess i'll call up my big mama, tell her i'll be rolling in
But you know, deep down, i'm kind of tempted
To go and see my bessie again.
(refrain)

A bm a/c# d
Walked on down the road a mile, went to the house that brings a smile

Sat upon my grandpa's knee, and what do you think he said to me?

Hangin' on a string from your... when you believe, you will relieve the only soul

Ollie showed me the fork in the road.
You can take to the left or go straight to the right,
Use your days and save your nights,
Be careful where you step, and watch wha-cha eat,
Sleep with the light on and you got it beat.
(repeat chorus)
Ollie warned me it's a mean old world,
The street don't greet ya, yes, it's true;
But what am i supposed to do:
Read the writing on the wall,
I heard itwhen i was very small.
(repeat chorus)
E f#m
Wash my hand in lye water, i got a date with the
E f#m
Captains daughter. you can go and tell your brother. we sure gonna
E f#m
Love one another, oh! you

May be right and ya might be wrong, i ain't gonna worry all day long.

Snow's gonna come and the frost gonna bite, my old car froze
E f#m
Up last night. ain't no reason to hang your head i could wake up in the
E f#m
Mornin' dead. oh! and
E f#m
If i thought it would do any good, i'd stand on the rock where moses stood.

7. _ The Unfaithful Servant
E7 d/f# g d/f# a/e am7
Unfaithful servant, i hear you leavin' soon in the mornin'
G d/f e7 asus4
What did you do to the lady, that she's gonna have to send you away?
G d/f# a/e am7
Unfaithful servant, you don't have to say you're sorry,
G d/f# e7 asus4
If you done it just for the spite, or did ya do it just for the glory?
Bm/g a/f#
Like a stranger you turned your back,
C/g g f#7
Left your keys and gone to pack.
Bm/g a/f#
Bear in mind who's to blame, and all the shame;
E7 em7 ebmaj7
She really cared, the time she spared and the home you shared.
Unfaithful servant, i can hear the whistle blowin,
Yes, that train is a-comin' and soon you'll be goin'.
Let us not bow our heads for we won't be complainin';
Life has been good to us all
Even when that sky is rainin'.
To take it like a grain of salt
Is all i can do. it's no one's fault,
Makes no diff'rence if we fade away.
It's just as it was, it's much to cold for me to stay.
D bm
Goodbye to that country home,
D a bm
So long to a lady i have known,
D bm
Farewell to my other side,
E7 asus4
I'd best just take it in stride.
G d/f# a/e am7
Unfaithful servant, you'll learn to find your place;
G d/f#
I can see it in your smile,
E7 asus4
And, yes, i can see it in your face.
Bm/g# a/f#
The mem'ries will linger on,
C/g a f#7
But the good old days, they're all gone,
Bm/g# a/f#
Oh! lonesome servant, can't you see,
E7 em7 ebmaj7
That we're still one and the same, just you and me.

8. _ Jemima Surrender
D e7
Jemima surrender, i'm gonna give it to you,
G a7
Ain't no pretender, gonna ride in my canoe.
D g f
If i were a barker in a girly show,
D g f d g a7
Tell ya what i'd do, i'd lock the door, tear my shirt and let my river flow.
G em
Oh, oh, sweet jemima wont'cha come out tonight?
G a7 d
The ground is so warm and the moon is so bright!
Jemima surrender, i'm gonna give it to you,
I'll bring over my fender
And i'll play all night for you.
There's a bird on my head
And his mouth won't talk,
You know he laughs just like a goose,
But looks like a hawk
Jemima, you know what i'm try'n to say,
Meet me in front and we'll fly away.
You can change your name
You can find a new walk
You can change a lock, its all the same
You don't have to give out
If you'll only give in
You can jump and shout
But can't you see girl, that i'm bound to win
Jemima surrender, i'm gonna give it to you,
Ain't no pretender, gonna see my tattoo;
I hand you my rod and you hand me that line,
That's what you do, now, we ain't doing much fishin'
Or drinkin' any wine.
Sweet jemima, if i were king
I'd fix you up with a diamond ring.

9. _ Whispering Pines
Cadd9 cmaj7 em7 am
If you find me in a gloom, or catch me in a dream
Am/g f bb g7
Inside my lonely room, there is no in between
Cadd9 em7
Whispering pines, rising of the tide
Am am/g
If only one star shines
F bb g7-9/d bb7/d
That's just enough to get inside
Eb eb7
I will wait until it all goes 'round
Abmaj7 cm/g
With you in sight, the lost are found
Cmaj7 em7
Foghorn through the night, calling out to sea
Am am/g f bb g7
Protect my only light, 'cause she once belonged to me
Cmaj7 em7
Let the waves rush in, let the seagulls cry
Am am/g f bb g7-9/d bb7/d
For if i live again, these hopes will never die
Eb eb7
I can feel you standing there
Abmaj7 cm/g
But i dont see you anywhere
Cmaj7 em eb ab6 gsus4 g7
Cmaj7 em7
Standing by the well, wishing for the rains
Am am/g f bb g7-9
Reaching for the clouds, for nothing else remains
C em7
Drifting in a daze, when evening will be done
Am
Try looking through a haze
Am/g f bb g7-9/d bb7/d
At an empty house, in the cold, cold sun
Eb eb7
I will wait until it all goes round
Abmaj7 cm/g cmaj7 cadd9
With you in sight, the lost are found

10. _ King Harvest (has Surely Come)
Corn in the fields.
Listen to the rice when the wind blows 'cross the water,
F/a fm/ab c
King harvest has surely come.
Am g bb f/g c
I work for the union 'cause she's so good to me;
Am f
And i'm bound to come out on top,
Dm e
That's where i should be.
Am bb c g
I will hear ev'ry word the boss may say,
Am bb c g
For he's the one who hands me down my pay.
Am bb c g
Looks like this time i'm gonna get to stay,
Am bb c g am g bb f
I'm a union man, now, all the way.
The smell of the leaves,
From the magnolia trees in the meadow,
King harvest has surely come.
Dry summer, then comes fall,
Which i depend on most of all.
Hey, rainmaker, can't you hear my call?
Please let these crops grow tall.
Long enough i've been up on skid row
And it's plain to see, i've nothin to show.
I'm glad to pay those union dues,
Just don't judge me by my shoes.
Scarecrow and a yellow moon,
And pretty soon a carnival on the edge of town,
King harvest has surely come.
Last year, this time, wasn't no joke,
My whole barn went up in smoke.
My horse jethro, well he went mad
And i can't remember things bein' so bad.
Then there comes a man with a paper and a pen
Tellin' us our hard times are about to end.
And then, if they don't give us what we like
He said, "men, that's when you gotta go on strike."
Corn in the fields.
Listen to the rice when the wind blows 'cross the water,
King harvest has surely come.

(chorus:)
F c/e
Look out, cleveland, the storm is comin' through,
Dm7 am/e dm/f g7 c
And it's runnin' right up on you.
F c/e
Look out, houston, there'll be thunder on the hill;
Dm7 am/e dm/f g7 c
Bye-bye, baby, don't cha lie so still.
G c
Was wedn'sday evenin' when first we heard the word,
G c
It did not come by train nor bird.
E7 am am/g
T'was when ben pike stepped down to say,
F g c
"this old town's gonna blow away."
Chain lightnin', frightnin' as it may seem,
Must not be mistaken for just another dream.
Justice of peace don't know his own fate,
But he'll go down in the shelter late.
(chorus)
Hidin' your money won't do no good,
Build a big wall, you know you would if you could, yeah!
When clouds of warnin' come into view,
It'll get the ol' woman right outta her shoe.

I can't wait to sniff that air,
Dip'n snuff, i won't have no care,
That big rockin' chair won't go nowhere.
Hear the sound, willie boy,
The flyin' dutchman's on the reef.
It's my belief
We've used up all our time,
This hill's to steep to climb,
And the days that remain ain't worth a dime.
Oh, to be home again,
Down in old virginny,
With my very best friend,
They call him ragtime willie.
Would-a-been nice just t'see the folks,
Listen once again to the stale jokes,
That big rockin' chair won't go nowhere.
I can hear something calling on me
[second voice concurrent with first]
And you know where i want to be
Oh willie don't you hear that sound
[second voice as above]
Oh to be home again down in old virginny
I just want to get my feet back on the ground
Oh to be home again down in old virginny
[second voice as above]
I'd love to see my very best friend
They call him rag-time willie
[second voice as above]
I believe old rockin chair's got me
[second voice as above]
Oh to be home again
