1. _ Daddy Come And Get Me
In this mental institution, lookin' out through these iron bars
How could he put me in here, how could he go that far
Yes i need help but not this kind, he didn't love me from the start
But it's not my mind that's broken, it's my heart
Oh daddy come and get me and take me home with you
I'm depending on you daddy, there's nothing i can do
And you said that i could come to you if i ever was in need
But daddy i can't come to you, you'll have to come to me
When he said he loved another, i was crazy with jealousy
That's 'cause i was crazy over him and i couldn't stand to set him free
And i couldn't stand to lose him and i cried and cried for days
And he said that i was crazy but he just put me in here to get me out of his way
Daddy come and get me
Oh daddy come and get me and take me home with you
I'm depending on you daddy 'cause there's nothing else i can do
And you said that i could come to you if i ever was in need
But daddy i can't come to you, you'll have to come to me
Oh daddy, come and get me

2. _ In The Ghetto
As the snow flies
On a cold and gray chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto
People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me
Are we too blind to see
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way
Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto
And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto
Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car
Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto
As her young man dies
On a cold and gray chicago mornin'
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto

3. _ Little Bird
Beauty is a rare perfume
Precious, yet doesn't last long
Youth is but a playful breeze
That blows our way once then moves on
Love is a hidden treasure
Some never find where it lies
And memory is a little bird
Flies through life, live or dies
Chorus:
Little bird
Take me aboard your beautiful wings and let me fly
Fly me away back to yesterday
And drop me off there awhile
Let me smell the rare perfume of the sweet flower of beauty again
Let me run in the playful breeze of youth long gone with the wind
Let me sit for awhile by the place where i found the treasure of love
Then sing me a song as you fly me along on our long last journey above

4. _ In The Good Old Days (when Times Were Bad)
We'd get up before sun-up to get the work done up
We'd work in the fields till the sun had gone down
We've stood and we've cried as we have bristly watched
A hailstorm a' beatin' our crops to the ground
We've gone to bed hungry many nights in the past
In the good old days when times were bad
Chorus:
No amount of money could buy from me
The memories that i have of then
No amount of money could pay me
To go back and live through it again
I've seen daddy's hands break open and bleed
And i've seen him work till he's stiff as a board
An' i've seen momma layin' in suffer and sickness
In need of a doctor we couldn't afford
Anything at all was more than we had
In the good old days when times were bad
We've got up before and found ice on the floor
Where the wind would blow snow through the cracks in the wall
And i couldn't enjoy then, havin' a boyfriend
I had nothing decent to wear at all
So i long for a love that i never had
In the good old days when times were bad
Repeat chorus
Tag:
In the good old days when times were bad
In the good old days when times were bad

5. _ Mama Say A Prayer
The bright lights of the city are a pretty site to see
Perhaps they're extra pretty to a country girl like me
Temptation waits at every turn and it won't let me be
So mama when you pray tonight
Say a special prayer for me
I miss your tender good-night kiss of love and understanding
The good-night kisses i get now are cruel and so demanding
So mama when you pray tonight
And while you're on your knees
Mama say a special prayer for me
The nights get cold and lonely
When you're faraway from home
And lonely makes it easy for a good girl to go wrong
Evil eyes search through the night for lonely girls like me
So mama when you pray tonight
Say a special prayer for me
I miss your tender good-night kiss of love and understanding
These good-night kisses i get now are cruel and so demanding
So mama when you pray tonight
And while you're on your knees
Mama say a special prayer for me

6. _ Gypsy Joe And Me
We might have slept in a rail yard or camped by the river bank
We fed ourselves from the fruit of the land
And quenched our thirst with rain
We never did allow no roots to grow beneath our feet
Life just had no pattern for gypsy joe and me
All we had was each other and the rags upon our back
The closest thing to a home we new was some abandoned shack
But we had all we needed and the rest we didn't need
Life was free and simple for gypsy joe and me
Now gypsy was my little dog, i found by the road in a ditch
And so i named him gypsy, cause that name just seemed to fit
Oh and joe he was my man, the flower of my soul
Thou he never said he loved me, i just always seemed to know
While standing by the highway, thumbin' for a ride
The speeding wheels of a passing car, took gypsy's life
I lost him where i found him and his loss was misery
Now there's no more gypsy, there's just joe and me
Well the winter came and the snow did fall
And the night was cold and still
And the rags we wore were not enough
And joe he caught the chill
And he told me how he loved me
And in my arms he went to sleep
Now there's no more gypsy, no more joe, there's just me
While standin' here on the edge of this bridge
Lookin' down i see
The face of joe and gypsy, lookin' back at me
And somewhere in the distance i can hear them callin' me
Tonight we'll be together again
Gypsy, joe and me

7. _ Just The Way I Am
If you hear me crying in the night
Pretend that you don't hear me it's alright
Don't ask me why i'm crying, please don't make a sound
I don't know why, it's just the way i am
And if you think i act a little strange
And you don't understand when i do things
Like running through the fields while the rain is pouring down
I don't know why, it's just the way i am
And even though you may not understand me
I hope that you'll accept me like i am
For there are many sides of me, my mind and spirit must be free
And i might smile when other folks would frown
I don't know why, it's just the way i am
I might go out chasing butterflies
And if i fail to catch one i might cry
And if you want me you might find me in the meadow walking 'round
I don't know why, it's just the way i am
I might be home and busy cleaning house
And in the middle of my work i might go out
And go play games with children at the playground
It makes me happy, and that's just the way i am
And even though you may not understand me
I hope that you'll accept me like i am
For there are childish sides of me
My mind and spirit must be free
I might smile when you think i should frown
I don't know why, it's just the way i am

8. _ My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy
From a shack by a mountain stream
To a room in new orleans
So far from my blue ridge mountain home
The men i meet ain't warm and friendly
Like the one in old virginie
Oh they ain't real like my blue ridge mountain boy
I was just a little past eighteen
When i came to new orleans
I'd never been beyond my home state line
There was a boy who loved me dearly
But i broke his heart severely
When i left my blue ridge mountain boy
Life was dull in my hometown
Lights were out when the sun went down
And i thought that city life was more my style
But nights get lonely away from home
And it's easy to go wrong
The men ain't kind like my blue ridge mountain boy
New orleans held things in store
Things i'd never bargained for
And every night a different man knocks on my door
But late at night when all is still
I can hear a whippoorwill
As i cry for my blue ridge mountain boy
Oh but i can never go back home
Since the boy i love is gone
He grew tired of waiting for me to return
They say he married last october
But i never will get over
Oh the sweet love of my blue ridge mountain boy
Blue ridge mountain boy

9. _ The Carroll County Accident
Carroll county's pointed out as kind of square
The biggest thing that happens is the county fair
And i guess that's why it seemed like such a big event
What we all call the carroll county accident
The wreck was on the highway just inside the line
Walter browning lost his life and for a time
It seemed that mary ellen jones would surely die
But she lived long enough for her to testify
Now walter browning was a happy married man
And he wore a golden wedding ring upon his hand
But it was gone nobody knew just where it went
He'd lost it in the carroll county accident
Mary ellen testified he flagged her down
Said he was sick and could she drive him into town
And no one even doubted what she said was true
Cause she was well respected in the county too
Now i went down to see the wreck like all the rest
The bloody seats, the broken glass, the tangled mess
But i found something no one else had even seen
Behind the dash in mary's crumpled up machine
A little matchbox circled by a rubberband
And inside the ring from walter browning's hand
And it took a while to figure out just what it meant
The truth about the carroll county accident
By dark of night i dropped the ring into a well
And i took a sacred oath that i would never tell
The secret of the carroll county accident
Cause the county ordered dad a marble monument
I lost him in the carroll county accident
