They'll take you right down where you don't want to go
If you talk too fast and you walk too slow
Shanghaid, shanghaid
Been locked up and shanghaid
Shanghaid, shanghaid
Been locked up and shanghaid
I tried to live by the golden rule
Do unto others and they'll do unto you
Every time i get turned on i end up singing the same song
Shanghaid, shanghaid
Been locked up and shanghaid
Shanghaid, shanghaid
Been locked up and shanghaid
I was crossing the desert on a sunny day
I met two women that passed my way
They took me to a tent and they locked the door and all they
Ever said was "more, more"
Shanghaid, shanghaid
Been locked up and shanghaid
Shanghaid, shanghaid
Been locked up and shanghaid
And i'm standing right here with my usual slack
Police got me for talking back
"you're out on the street, you'd better watch your step
If you talk too loud, now button your lip"
Shanghaid, shanghaid
Been locked up and shanghaid
Shanghaid, shanghaid
Been locked up and shanghaid
Sitting in a bar in west berlin
Sipping on a glass that's low again
Talking to a woman i thought i knew
The lights went out and i did too
Shanghaid, shanghaid
Been locked up and shanghaid
Shanghaid, shanghaid
Been locked up and shanghaid

Lady luck, please just listen to me
Mistress of fantasy
Send a dream my way
Can you come and make my day
Lady luck, elusive as you are
You're just a fleeding star
You never hit the sky
With you i seem to fly
Lady luck, hold on to my hand
I'm standing on shifting sand
I'm a dreamer don't you know
Lady luck, just don't let go
Lady luck, hard as it may seem
When you pass out all your dreams
Could you keep me in your mind
I'd like to see you one more time

I hear a whistle, i hear a moan
Must be my baby coming home
She's been down in tupelo, singing that river boat song
She is a dancer, a river queen
She'll teach them gamblers most anything
She's been down in tupelo, singing that river boat song
Many nights i spend alone
Many days there ain't nobody home
Many times i wish she was here
Yeah, that river boat whistle blows
I know she's getting near
River captain, bring my baby home
I get so lonesome since she's been gone
She's been down in tupelo, working the river boat song

Trains don't run forever
Fire goes out sometime
Gotta tell you, baby
We've come to the end of the line
Pages of yesterday
Fill this book of mine
Gotta tell you, baby
It is the end of the line
I can't remember those good old days
They are from a different time
I gotta tell you, baby
We've come to the end of the line

Have you ever been down to new orleans
Lord, lord, them crazy queens
Crying the blues is what they do down there
Fortune teller, he knows your name
Fortune teller, he'll tell you your game
Crying the blues, that's what they do down there
Money dripping from a willow tree
He never want me
Lazy bones, i ain't got a dime
Just biding my time
If i find a way to choose
New orleans, where they're crying the blues
Drinking bourbon from a dixie cup
Hanging out till the sun comes up
Crying the blues is what they do down there
French women, all i need
Up and down old bourbon street
Crying the blues is what they do down there
If i find a way to choose
New orleans, where they're singing the blues

Sometime in the morning, before the break of day
I lose my direction, i can't find my way
I can't find nobody to tell my troubles to
I get so sad and lonesome
Guess i'll tell 'em all to you
Got me at a disadvantage, you had me outta here
I just want loving, the way don't seem clear
Got me at a disadvantage, that's the way i feel
Love is forever
Love is for real
Some kind of fascination, that's the reason why
First time i seen you, you were so shy
Got me at a disadvantage, that's the way i feel
Love is forever
Love is for real

I've got a fine-looking woman, she's fine and brown
She likes to boogie in the kitchen, likes to boogie 'round town
Hold on baby, hold on baby
Hold on baby, you're moving too fast for me
Talking about that woman, she's up early in the morning
Making love with me before the break of dawn
Hold on baby, hold on baby
Hold on baby, you're moving too fast for me
Every night about twelve o'clock
She starts making love to me till i think i'm gonna drop
Hold on baby, hold on baby
Hold on baby, you're moving too fast for me
She's a fine-looking woman, she's fine, no doubt
Everything i need but she's wearing me out
Hold on baby, hold on baby
Hold on baby, you're moving too fast for me
Don't get me wrong, i'm a-tellin' you right
Since i met her i get no sleep at night
Hold on baby, hold on baby
Hold on baby, you're moving too fast for me
