1. _ Lay Down Sally
By eric clapton, marcy levy and george terry
There is nothing that is wrong
In wanting you to stay here with me.
I know you've got somewhere to go,
But won't you make yourself at home and stay with me?
And don't you ever leave.
Lay down, sally, and rest you in my arms.
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, sally, no need to leave so soon.
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you.
The sun ain't nearly on the rise
And we still got the moon and stars above.
Underneath the velvet skies,
Love is all that matters. won't you stay with me?
And don't you ever leave.
Chorus
I long to see the morning light
Coloring your face so dreamily.
So don't you go and say goodbye,
You can lay your worries down and stay with me.
And don't you ever leave.

2. _ Layla
(by eric clapton and jim gordon)
What'll you do when you get lonely
No one waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, i'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, i fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.
Chorus
Let's make the best of the situation
Before i finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.
Chorus

3. _ Cocaine
By j. j. cale
If you wanna hang out you've got to take her out; cocaine.
If you wanna get down, down on the ground; cocaine.
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie; cocaine.
If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues; cocaine.
When your day is done and you wanna run; cocaine.
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie; cocaine.
If your thing is gone and you wanna ride on; cocaine.
Don't forget this fact, you can't get it back; cocaine.
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie; cocaine.
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie; cocaine.

4. _ I Shot The Sheriff
By bob marley
I shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff, but i did not 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 life of a deputy.
But i say:
I shot the sheriff, but i swear it was in self-defense.
I shot the sheriff, and 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:
I shot the sheriff, 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:
I shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot the deputy.
Reflexes got the better of me
And what is to be must be.
Every day the bucket goes to the well,
But 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 the deputy, oh no.
I shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot the deputy, oh no.

5. _ Let It Grow
(by eric clapton)
I'm standin' at the crossroads
Tryin' to read the signs
To tell me which way i should
Go to find the answer
And all the time i know
Let your love and let it grow.
Let it grow, let it grow,
Let it blossom, let it flow.
In the sun and in the snow
Love is lovely, let it grow.
Lookin' for a reason
To check out on my mind.
It's so hard to find a
Friend that i can count on.
There's nothin' left to show,
Plant your love and let it grow.
Let it grow...
Time is gettin' shorter
And there's much for you to do,
Only ask'n you will get what you are needin',
The rest is up to you.
Plant your love and let it grow.
Let it grow...

6. _ Promises
By richard feldman and roger linn
I don't care if you never come home,
I don't mind if you just keep on
Rowing away on a distant sea,
'cause i don't love you and you don't love me.
You cause a commotion when you come to town;
You give 'em a smile and they melt.
Having lovers and friends is all good and fine,
But i don't like yours and you don't like mine.
La la, la la la la la.
La la, la la la la la.
I don't care what you do at night,
Oh, and i don't care how you get your delights.
I'm gonna leave you alone, i'll just let it be,
I don't love you and you don't love me.
I got a problem. can you relate?
I got a woman calling love hate.
We made a vow we'd always be friends.
How could we know that promises end?
La la, la la la la la.
La la, la la la la la.
I tried to love you for years upon years,
You refuse to take me for real.
It's time you saw what i want you to see,
And i'd still love you if you'd just love me.
Chorus
La la, la la la la la.
La la, la la la la la.
La la, la la la la la.
La la, la la la la la.

7. _ Willie And The Hand Jive
got a cool little chick named rocking millie.
He can walk and stroll and susie q
And do that crazy hand jive, too.
Mama, mama, look at uncle joe
Doing the hand jive with sister flo.
Grandma gave baby sister a dime;
Said, "do that hand jive one more time."
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive,
Do that crazy jive.
Doctor and a lawyer and an indian chief,
They all dig that crazy beat.
Way-out willie gave them all a treat
When he did that hand jive with his feet.
Chorus
Willie and millie got married last fall.
They had a little willie junior and that ain't all.
Well, the kids got crazy and it's plain to see,
Doing the hand jive on t.v.

9. _ After Midnight
By j. j. cale
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we're gonna chug-a-lug and shout.
We're gonna stimulate some action;
We're gonna get some satisfaction.
We're gonna find out what it is all about.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we're gonna shake your tambourine.
After midnight, it's all gonna be peaches and cream.
We're gonna cause talk and suspicion;
We're gonna give an exhibition.
We're gonna find out what it is all about.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
Second verse
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.

10. _ Knockin' On Heaven's Door
By bob dylan
Ma, take this badge off of me.
I can't use it any more.
It's getting dark, too dark to see.
Feel like i'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heavens door.
Ma, take these guns away from me.
I can't shoot them any more.
There's a long black cloud following me.
Feel like i'm knockin' on heaven's door.

11. _ Wonderful Tonight
(by eric clapton)
It's late in the evening
She's wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her make up
And brushes her long blonde hair
And then she asks me
Do i look alright
And i say yes, you look wonderful tonight
We go a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
That's walking around with me
And then she asks me
Do you feel alright
And i say yes, i feel wonderful tonight
I feel wonderful
Because i see the love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize
How much i love you
It's time to go home now
And i've got an aching head
So i give her the car keys
She helps me to bed
And then i tell her
As i turn out the light
I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight
