1. _ Leopard-skin Pill-box Hat
Well, i see you got your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat
Yes, i see you got your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat
Well, you must tell me, baby
How your head feels under somethin' like that
Under your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat
Well, you look so pretty in it
Honey, can i jump on it sometime?
Yes, i just wanna see
If it's really that expensive kind
You know it balances on your head
Just like a mattress balances
On a bottle of wine
Your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat
Well, if you wanna see the sun rise
Honey, i know where
We'll go out and see it sometime
We'll both just sit there and stare
Me with my belt
Wrapped around my head
And you just sittin' there
In your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat
Well, i asked the doctor if i could see you
It's bad for your health, he said
Yes, i disobeyed his orders
I came to see you
But i found him there instead
You know, i don't mind him cheatin' on me
But i sure wish he'd take that off his head
Your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat
Well, i see you got a new boyfriend
You know, i never seen him before
Well, i saw him
Makin' love to you
You forgot to close the garage door
You might think he loves you for your money
But i know what he really loves you for
It's your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat

2. _ I Want You
The guilty undertaker sighs,
The lonesome organ grinder cries,
The silver saxophones say i should refuse you.
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn,
But it's not that way,
I wasn't born to lose you.
I want you, i want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, i want you.
The drunken politician leaps
Upon the street where mothers weep
And the saviors who are fast asleep,
They wait for you.
And i wait for them to interrupt
Me drinkin' from my broken cup
And ask me to
Open up the gate for you.
I want you, i want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, i want you.
Now all my fathers, they've gone down
True love they've been without it.
But all their daughters put me down
'cause i don't think about it.
Well, i return to the queen of spades
And talk with my chambermaid.
She knows that i'm not afraid
To look at her.
She is good to me
And there's nothing she doesn't see.
She knows where i'd like to be
But it doesn't matter.
I want you, i want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, i want you.
Now your dancing child with his chinese suit,
He spoke to me, i took his flute.
No, i wasn't very cute to him,
Was i?
But i did it, though, because he lied
Because he took you for a ride
And because time was on his side
And because i . . .
I want you, i want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, i want you.

3. _ Rainy Day Women #12 & 35
Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good,
They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would.
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home.
Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone.
But i would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, they'll stone ya when you're walkin' 'long the street.
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to keep your seat.
They'll stone ya when you're walkin' on the floor.
They'll stone ya when you're walkin' to the door.
But i would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
They'll stone ya when you are young and able.
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to make a buck.
They'll stone ya and then they'll say, "good luck."
Tell ya what, i would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, they'll stone you and say that it's the end.
Then they'll stone you and then they'll come back again.
They'll stone you when you're riding in your car.
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
Yes, but i would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, they'll stone you when you walk all alone.
They'll stone you when you are walking home.
They'll stone you and then say you are brave.
They'll stone you when you are set down in your grave.
But i would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.

4. _ Pledging My Time
Well, early in the mornin'
'til late at night,
I got a poison headache,
But i feel all right.
I'm pledging my time to you,
Hopin' you'll come through, too.
Well, the hobo jumped up,
He came down natur'lly.
After he stole my baby,
Then he wanted to steal me.
But i'm pledging my time to you,
Hopin' you'll come through, too.
Won't you come with me, baby?
I'll take you where you wanna go.
And if it don't work out,
You'll be the first to know.
I'm pledging my time to you,
Hopin' you'll come through, too.
Well, the room is so stuffy,
I can hardly breathe.
Ev'rybody's gone but me and you
And i can't be the last to leave.
I'm pledging my time to you,
Hopin' you'll come through, too.
Well, they sent for the ambulance
And one was sent.
Somebody got lucky
But it was an accident.
Now i'm pledging my time to you,
Hopin' you'll come through, too.

5. _ Just Like A Woman
Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as i stand inside the rain
Ev'rybody knows
That baby's got new clothes
But lately i see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls.
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.
Queen mary, she's my friend
Yes, i believe i'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess
Hat baby can't be blessed
Till she sees finally that she's like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls.
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.
It was raining from the first
And i was dying there of thirst
So i came in here
And your long-time curse hurts
But what's worse
Is this pain in here
I can't stay in here
Ain't it clear that?br>
I just can't fit
Yes, i believe it's time for us to quit
When we meet again
Introduced as friends
Please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world.
Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes, you do
You make love just like a woman, yes, you do
Then you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl.

6. _ Sad-eyed Lady Of The Lowlands
With your mercury mouth in the missionary times,
And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes,
And your silver cross, and your voice like chimes,
Oh, who among them do they think could bury you?
With your pockets well protected at last,
And your streetcar visions which you place on the grass,
And your flesh like silk, and your face like glass,
Who among them do they think could carry you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes,
My warehouse eyes, my arabian drums,
Should i leave them by your gate,
Or, sad-eyed lady, should i wait?
With your sheets like metal and your belt like lace,
And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace,
And your basement clothes and your hollow face,
Who among them can think he could outguess you?
With your silhouette when the sunlight dims
Into your eyes where the moonlight swims,
And your match-book songs and your gypsy hymns,
Who among them would try to impress you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes,
My warehouse eyes, my arabian drums,
Should i leave them by your gate,
Or, sad-eyed lady, should i wait?
The kings of tyrus with their convict list
Are waiting in line for their geranium kiss,
And you wouldn't know it would happen like this,
But who among them really wants just to kiss you?
With your childhood flames on your midnight rug,
And your spanish manners and your mother's drugs,
And your cowboy mouth and your curfew plugs,
Who among them do you think could resist you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes,
My warehouse eyes, my arabian drums,
Should i leave them by your gate,
Or, sad-eyed lady, should i wait?
Oh, the farmers and the businessmen, they all did decide
To show you the dead angels that they used to hide.
But why did they pick you to sympathize with their side?
Oh, how could they ever mistake you?
They wished you'd accepted the blame for the farm,
But with the sea at your feet and the phony false alarm,
And with the child of a hoodlum wrapped up in your arms,
How could they ever, ever persuade you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes,
My warehouse eyes, my arabian drums,
Should i leave them by your gate,
Or, sad-eyed lady, should i wait?
With your sheet-metal memory of cannery row,
And your magazine-husband who one day just had to go,
And your gentleness now, which you just can't help but show,
Who among them do you think would employ you?
Now you stand with your thief, you're on his parole
With your holy medallion which your fingertips fold,
And your saintlike face and your ghostlike soul,
Oh, who among them do you think could destroy you
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes,
My warehouse eyes, my arabian drums,
Should i leave them by your gate,
Or, sad-eyed lady, should i wait?

7. _ 4th Time Around
When she said,
"don't waste your words, they're just lies,"
I cried she was deaf.
And she worked on my face until breaking my eyes,
Then said, "what else you got left?"
It was then that i got up to leave
But she said, "don't forget,
Everybody must give something back
For something they get."
I stood there and hummed,
I tapped on her drum and asked her how come.
And she buttoned her boot,
And straightened her suit,
Then she said, "don't get cute."
So i forced my hands in my pockets
And felt with my thumbs,
And gallantly handed her
My very last piece of gum.
She threw me outside,
I stood in the dirt where ev'ryone walked.
And after finding i'd
Forgotten my shirt,
I went back and knocked.
I waited in the hallway, she went to get it,
And i tried to make sense
Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair
That leaned up against . . .
Her jamaican rum
And when she did come, i asked her for some.
She said, "no, dear."
I said, "your words aren't clear,
You'd better spit out your gum."
She screamed till her face got so red
Then she fell on the floor,
And i covered her up and then
Thought i'd go look through her drawer.
And, when i was through
I filled up my shoe
And brought it to you.
And you, you took me in,
You loved me then
You didn't waste time.
And i, i never took much,
I never asked for your crutch.
Now don't ask for mine.

8. _ Obviously Five Believers
Early in the mornin'
Early in the mornin'
I'm callin' you to
I'm callin' you to
Please come home
Yes, i guess i could make it without you
If i just didn't feel so all alone
Don't let me down
Don't let me down

No i won't
You know i can if you can, honey
But, honey, please don't
I got my black dog barkin'
Black dog barkin'
Yes it is now
Yes it is now
Outside my yard
Yes, i could tell you what he means
If i just didn't have to try so hard
Your mama's workin'
Your mama's moanin'
She's cryin' you know
She's tryin' you know
You better go now
Well, i'd tell you what she wants
But i just don't know how
Fifteen jugglers

Five believers

All dressed like men
Tell yo' mama not to worry because
They're just my friends
Early in the mornin'
Early in the mornin'
I'm callin' you to
I'm callin' you to
Please come home
Yes, i could make it without you

9. _ Most Likely You Go Your Way And I'll Go Mine
You say you love me
And you're thinkin' of me,
But you know you could be wrong.
You say you told me
That you wanna hold me,
But you know you're not that strong.
I just can't do what i done before,
I just can't beg you any more.
I'm gonna let you pass
And i'll go last.
Then time will tell just who fell
And who's been left behind,
When you go your way and i go mine.
You say you disturb me
And you don't deserve me,
But you know sometimes you lie.
You say you're shakin'
And you're always achin',
But you know how hard you try.
Sometimes it gets so hard to care,
It can't be this way ev'rywhere.
And i'm gonna let you pass,
Yes, and i'll go last.
Then time will tell just who fell
And who's been left behind,
When you go your way and i go mine.
The judge, he holds a grudge,
He's gonna call on you.
But he's badly built
And he walks on stilts,
Watch out he don't fall on you.
You say you're sorry
For tellin' stories
That you know i believe are true.
You say ya got some
Other kinda lover
And yes, i believe you do.
You say my kisses are not like his,
But this time i'm not gonna tell you why that is.
I'm just gonna let you pass,
Yes, and i'll go last.
Then time will tell who fell
And who's been left behind,
When you go your way and i go mine.

10. _ Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again
Oh, the ragman draws circles
Up and down the block.
I'd ask him what the matter was
But i know that he don't talk.
And the ladies treat me kindly
And furnish me with tape,
But deep inside my heart
I know i can't escape.
Oh, mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the memphis blues again.
Well, shakespeare, he's in the alley
With his pointed shoes and his bells,
Speaking to some french girl,
Who says she knows me well.
And i would send a message
To find out if she's talked,
But the post office has been stolen
And the mailbox is locked.
Oh, mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the memphis blues again.
Mona tried to tell me
To stay away from the train line.
She said that all the railroad men
Just drink up your blood like wine.
An' i said, "oh, i didn't know that,
But then again, there's only one i've met
An' he just smoked my eyelids
An' punched my cigarette."
Oh, mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the memphis blues again.
Grandpa died last week
And now he's buried in the rocks,
But everybody still talks about
How badly they were shocked.
But me, i expected it to happen,
I knew he'd lost control
When he built a fire on main street
And shot it full of holes.
Oh, mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the memphis blues again.
Now the senator came down here
Showing ev'ryone his gun,
Handing out free tickets
To the wedding of his son.
An' me, i nearly got busted
An' wouldn't it be my luck
To get caught without a ticket
And be discovered beneath a truck.
Oh, mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the memphis blues again.
Now the preacher looked so baffled
When i asked him why he dressed
With twenty pounds of headlines
Stapled to his chest.
But he cursed me when i proved it to him,
Then i whispered, "not even you can hide.
You see, you're just like me,
I hope you're satisfied."
Oh, mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the memphis blues again.
Now the rainman gave me two cures,
Then he said, "jump right in."
The one was texas medicine,
The other was just railroad gin.
An' like a fool i mixed them
An' it strangled up my mind,
An' now people just get uglier
An' i have no sense of time.
Oh, mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the memphis blues again.
When ruthie says come see her
In her honky-tonk lagoon,
Where i can watch her waltz for free
'neath her panamanian moon.
An' i say, "aw come on now,
You must know about my debutante."
An' she says, "your debutante just knows what you need
But i know what you want."
Oh, mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the memphis blues again.
Now the bricks lay on grand street
Where the neon madmen climb.
They all fall there so perfectly,
It all seems so well timed.
An' here i sit so patiently
Waiting to find out what price
You have to pay to get out of
Going through all these things twice.
Oh, mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the memphis blues again.

11. _ Visions Of Johanna
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it
And louise holds a handful of rain, temptin' you to defy it
Lights flicker from the opposite loft
In this room the heat pipes just cough
The country music station plays soft
But there's nothing, really nothing to turn off
Just louise and her lover so entwined
And these visions of johanna that conquer my mind
In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain
And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the "d" train
We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight
Ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane
Louise, she's all right, she's just near
She's delicate and seems like veneer
But she just makes it all too concise and too clear
That johanna's not here
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
Where these visions of johanna have now taken my place
Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously
He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously
And when bringing her name up
He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
He's sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all
Muttering small talk at the wall while i'm in the hall
How can i explain?
Oh, it's so hard to get on
And these visions of johanna, they kept me up past the dawn
Inside the museums, infinity goes up on trial
Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
But mona lisa musta had the highway blues
You can tell by the way she smiles
See the primitive wallflower freeze
When the jelly-faced women all sneeze
Hear the one with the mustache say, "jeeze
I can't find my knees"
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
But these visions of johanna, they make it all seem so cruel
The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him
Sayin', "name me someone that's not a parasite and i'll go out and say a prayer for him"
But like louise always says
"ya can't look at much, can ya man?"
As she, herself, prepares for him
And madonna, she still has not showed
We see this empty cage now corrode
Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
The fiddler, he now steps to the road
He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed
On the back of the fish truck that loads
While my conscience explodes
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
And these visions of johanna are now all that remain

12. _ One Of Us Must Know (sooner Or Later)
I didn't mean to treat you so bad
You shouldn't take it so personal
I didn't mean to make you so sad
You just happened to be there, that's all
When i saw you say "goodbye" to your friend and smile
I thought that it was well understood
That you'd be comin' back in a little while
I didn't know that you were sayin' "goodbye" for good
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
You just did what you're supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That i really did try to get close to you
I couldn't see what you could show me
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
I couldn't see how you could know me
But you said you knew me and i believed you did
When you whispered in my ear
And asked me if i was leavin' with you or her
I didn't realize just what i did hear
I didn't realize how young you were
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
You just did what you're supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That i really did try to get close to you
I couldn't see when it started snowin'
Your voice was all that i heard
I couldn't see where we were goin'
But you said you knew an' i took your word
And then you told me later, as i apologized
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
An' i told you, as you clawed out my eyes
That i never really meant to do you any harm
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
You just did what you're supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That i really did try to get close to you

13. _ Temporary Like Achilles
Standing on your window, honey,
Yes, i've been here before.
Feeling so harmless,
I'm looking at your second door.
How come you don't send me no regards?
You know i want your lovin',
Honey, why are you so hard?
Kneeling 'neath your ceiling,
Yes, i guess i'll be here for a while.
I'm tryin' to read your portrait, but,
I'm helpless, like a rich man's child.
How come you send someone out to have me barred?
You know i want your lovin',
Honey, why are you so hard?
Like a poor fool in his prime,
Yes, i know you can hear me walk,
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime,
Or is it just solid rock?
Well, i rush into your hallway,
Lean against your velvet door.
I watch upon your scorpion
Who crawls across your circus floor.
Just what do you think you have to guard?
You know i want your lovin', honey, but you're so hard.
Achilles is in your alleyway,
He don't want me here,
He does brag.
He's pointing to the sky
And he's hungry, like a man in drag.
How come you get someone like him to be your guard?
You know i want your lovin',
Honey. but you're so hard.

14. _ Absolutely Sweet Marie
Well, your railroad gate, you know i just can't jump it
Sometimes it gets so hard, you see
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
With all these promises you left for me
But where are you tonight, sweet marie?
Well, i waited for you when i was half sick
Yes, i waited for you when you hated me
Well, i waited for you inside of the frozen traffic
When you knew i had some other place to be
Now, where are you tonight, sweet marie?
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously
But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
Well, six white horses that you did promise
Were fin'lly delivered down to the penitentiary
But to live outside the law, you must be honest
I know you always say that you agree
But where are you tonight, sweet marie?
Well, i don't know how it happened
But the river-boat captain, he knows my fate
But ev'rybody else, even yourself
They're just gonna have to wait.
Well, i got the fever down in my pockets
The persian drunkard, he follows me
Yes, i can take him to your house but i can't unlock it
You see, you forgot to leave me with the key
Oh, where are you tonight, sweet marie?
Now, i been in jail when all my mail showed
That a man can't give his address out to bad company
And now i stand here lookin' at your yellow railroad
In the ruins of your balcony
Wond'ring where you are tonight, sweet marie.
