Old Dan's

Another lazy mornin'
No need to get down on anyone
My son
Coffee's in the kitchen
Woman on the run
No need to get bothered
I'l think about monday
When monday comes
It's two for one
Mister hoot 'n holler
Gotta make a dollar
Another lazy mornin'
I took time to make town 'n stock a pint or two
The most delicious brew
Keepin' up with the joneses
I hope no one telephones us
I'd take a place in the country
But for now the old back yard
Looks to me like fifty acres
Of the roundest ground in town

Another lazy mornin'
Come suppertime i'm gonna light my barbecue
Nothin' new
Only that she loves me
And nothin' i know can change me
No need to get bothered
I do more livin' than it might seem
Some dream
Livin' like a pauper
Bless my darlin' daughter

I'd like to know what makes a man go
Over land and sea
I guess it must get kinda lonesome
That's the way i used to be

Another lazy mornin'
No need to get down on anyone
Such fun
Coffee's in the kitchen
Woman on the run

Gotta make your mind up
Every single day
(i) hate to see you lonely
Losin' me this way
Lookin' for the man
Who stole my love from me
Gotta know the reason
Why my baby's leavin'
My pony won't go
Where i want him to go no more

Gotta make your mind up
If you're gonna stay
I don't see no sense in
Anything you say

Since you met the guy
Who told you i was wrong
You do all the livin'
While i do all the givin'
My pony won't go
He can't find no oats to eat

Gotta make your mind up
Every single day
(i) hate to see you lonely
Losin' me this way

Lookin' for the man
Whole stole my love from me
Gotta know the reason
Why my baby's leavin'
My pony won't go
Where i want him to go no more

I come to this garden
I come here to rest
Early each day upon risin'
I think of my lost love
From over the sea
And sometimes i've wondered
If she thinks of me
I long to recall every kiss, every kind word
I miss her so much i could die
But the creatures of evil
Have captured her heart
And that same old obsession
Still keeps us apart

There's peace in the garden
There's peace in the air
Peace in the sound of the river
There's peace in the meadow
The sun shines like gold
And if she were with me
There'd be peace in my soul

I long to return to the place, i remember
The taste of her lips close to mine
I could do much better
If i could be strong
Come into my garden
But leave me alone

I come to this garden
I come here to rest
Just as the night comes stealin'
Someone is weeping
She's calling my name
Deep in the garden
Deep in my brain

I long to recall every kiss, every kind word
I miss her so much i could die
But the creatures of evil
Have captured her heart
And that same old obsession
Still keeps us apart
But the creatures of evil
Have captured her heart
And that same old obsession
Still keeps us apart

Where did ya go when the snow lay on the ground
What did ya do when the rain began to fall
How did it feel when i looked through your soul
When was the last time you wanted my love
How many nights did you cry your dreams to sleep
Why did you hide what you knew would not stay hidden
How could you put yourself through like you did
I'm not the kind that would hold you that way

Drop me a line if ya wake up feelin' bad
I'm still a friend and i'd like to hear from you
Where does it say love should last forever
When was the last time i told that to you

Farewell to annabel, farewell
Farewell to annabel, farewell
Farewell to annabel, fare thee well
Farewell to annabel, farewell

She is my flower
And she blooms for the one who loves her best
The miners stop to watch as she walks
They know her love is not for sale
She will never fail me 'cause i know
I watch her grow
And the mother of a miner's child
Waits for me beside the kitchen door
She is my light
In this place where the darkness never ends
She'll guide me where the tunnels twist and bend
She's the only one who listens when i tell her
I got less than i can spend
She knows the pace
Oh mother of a miner's child
Was away the coal dust from my face

When the night shift's done
She'll be waiting by the table when i come
Searchin' for another dream to chase
Oh mother of a miner's child
I know that you still think about the day
When we'll be movin' on
Remember dear old daddy and
The promise that i made to carry on

Sometimes i smile
In the cage where the cables softly hum
I'd curse that old straw boss to the bone
But the mother of a miner's child
Is waiting for her paycheck to come home
Come saturday
And he is just a miner's boy
I hope that he will find a better way

She is my flower
And she blooms for the one who loves her best
The miners stop to watch as she walks
They know her love is not for sale
She will never fail me 'cause i know
I watch her grow
And the mother of a miner's child
Waits for me beside the kitchen door
