They say that richard cory owns one-half of this here town
With political connections, spread his wealth around
Born into society a banker's only child
He had everything a man could want,
Power, grace and style

But i work in his factory
And i curse the life i'm livin'
And i curse my poverty
That i wish that i could be
Yeah i wish that i could be
I wish that i could be, richard cory

The papers print his pictures
Almost everywhere he go
Richard cory at the opera,
Richard cory at the show
And the rumours of his a parties
And the orgies on his yacht
Well, he surely must be happy
With everything that he has got

But i, work in his factory
And i curse the life i'm livin'
And i curse my poverty
And i wish that i could be
I wish that i can be, yeah
I wish that i can be, richard cory

He freely gives to charity
Had that common touch
They were grateful for his patronage
And thanked him very much
But my mind was filled with wonder
When the evening headlines
That richard cory went home last night
And put a bullet through his head

But i, i, i, work in his factory
And i, i don't dig the life i'm livin'
And i don't dig my poverty
And i wish that i could be
Yeah and i wish that i could be
Yeah wish that i could be, richard cory

And i wish that i could be
I wish that i could be
Somehow i wish that i could be
A just like a richard cory
Just li-i-i-ike, richard co-ory
A richard cory
A richard cory
Fades
A richard cory, just a man, just a boy

Across a crowded room
Some sunny wind-swept afternoon
Is none too soon for me to miss

Between the under sky

To wonder why we do so?

Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out baby, the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now baby blue

The highway is for gamblers better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
The sky too is fallin in over you- ooo
And it's all over now baby blue

(instrumental)

Leave your stepping stones behind
There's something that calls for you
Forget the debt you left that will not follow you

Your lover who has just walked through the door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
The carpet too is foldin' over you
And it's all over now baby blue

Well strike another match, yeah, go start a-new

Yeah, the long road that's taking me back.
Gonna live in the hills, far away in the hills,
And i'm gonna dress in black.

Way high in the hills in georgia,
Gonna live in an old tin shack.
Nobody i'll see and no one will see me
And i'm gonna dress in black.

'cause i went down big city,
Had money, had money in my sack,
Found a girl so fine i thought she was mine,
But she left me without my shirt to my back.

Way out in the hills in georgia,
I'll live in my old tin shack.
I'll think of the time that woman was mine
And i'm gonna dress in black, yeah.

'cause i went, i went down the big city,

When friends were friends
And company was right
We'd talk and talk and sing
All through the night.
Morning came leisurely and bright
Downtown we'd walk
And passers by
Would shudder with delight
Mmmmmm!
Good times...
All the cats were there
Just dirty enough to say
"we don't care."
But the management had had complaints
About some cats with long long hair
"look look look"
And the people'd stare
"why, you won't be allowed in
Anywhere"
Barred from pubs and clubs and
Dancehalls
Made the scene at the spanish rooms
At the falls
And man, four pints of that scrumpy was
Enough to have you
Out of your mind.
Climbing up the walls
Out of your mind
But it was a gas, all the same
Now just around about this time with
The help of the three j's
Started playin' at the maritime.
That's jerry, jerry and jimmy
You know they were always fine
They helped us run the maritime.
And don't forget kit
Hitting people on the head and
Knockin' them out
You know he did his best and all
Was something else...

Now people say, who are
Or what are them
That little one sings and that big
One plays the guitar with
A thumble on his finger runs it up
And down the strings
The bass player don't shave much
I think they're all a little bit
Touched
But the people came
And that's how we made our name
Too much it was
Yeah, good times
Wild, sweaty, crude, ugly
And mad.
And sometimes just a little bit sad
Yeah, they sneered and all
But up there, we just havin' a ball
It was a gas, you know
Some good times...
We are the them take it or leave it
You know they took it
It kept coming
And we worked for the people
Sweet sweat
And the misty misty atmosphere
Gimme another drink of beer baby
Gotta get goin' here...
Blues come rollin'
Down all your avenue
Won't stop at the city hall
Just a few steps away
You can look up at
Maritime hotel
Just a little bit sad
Gotta walk away
Wish it well...
