Drop down, baby, let your daddy see.
Drop down, mama, just dream of me
Well, my mama allow me to fool around all night long
Well, i may look like i'm crazy, i should know right from wrong
See me comin', throw your man out the door
Ain't no stranger, been this way before
See me comin', mama, throw your man out the door
I ain't no stranger, i been this way before.

Put on your night shirt and your morning gown
You know by night i'm gonna shake 'em down
Put on your night shirt mama, and your morning gown
Well, you know by night i'm gonna shake 'em down
Your custard pie, yeah, sweet and nice
When you cut it, mama, save me a slice
Your custard pie, i declare, it's sweet and nice
I like your custard pie
When you cut it, mama... mama, please save me a slice.

Save me a slice of your custard pie.
Drop down

Her face is cracked from smiling,
All the fears that she's been hiding,
And it seems pretty soon ev'rybody's gonna know.
And her voice is sore from shouting,
Cheering winners who are losing,
And she worries if their days are few
And soon they'll have to go.

*my, my, my, i'm so happy,
I'm gonna join the band,
We are gonna dance and sing in celebration,
We are in the promised land.

She hears them talk of new ways
To protect the home she lives in,
Then she wonders what it's all about
When they break down the door.
Her name is brown or white or black,
You know her very well,
You hear her cries of mercy
As the winners toll the bell.

* chorus

There is a train that leaves the station
Heading for your destination,
But the price you pay to nowhere has increased a dollar more.
Yes, it has!
And if you walk you're gonna get there
Tho' it takes a little longer,
And when you see it in the distance
You will wring your hands and moan.

Here's a tale of tom
Who worked the railroads long
His wife would cook his meal
As he would change the wheel

Poor tom, seventh son, always knew what's goin on
Ain't a thing that you can hide from tom
There ain't nothing that you can hide from tom

Worked for thirty years
Sharing hopes and fears
Dreamin' of the day
He could turn and say

Poor tom, work's done, been lazin' out in the noonday sun

Ain't a thing that you can hide from tom

His wife was annie mae
With any man a game she'd play
When tom was out of town
She couldn't keep her dress down

Poor tom, seventh son, always knew what's goin on

Ain't a thing that you can hide from tom

And so it was one day
People got to annie mae (?)
Tom stood, a gun in his hand
And stopped her runnin' around

Poor tom, seventh son, gotta die for what you've done

All those years of work are thrown away
To ease your mind is that all you can say?

But what about that grandson on your knee?
Them railroad songs, tom would sing to me

Ain't nothing that you can hide from tom

Keep-a truckin'

Oh oh oh oh oh oh, you don't have to go oh oh oh oh oh
You don't have to go oh oh oh oh oh, baby please don't go.
Ay ay ay ay ay ay, all those tears i cry ay ay ay ay ay
All those tears i cry ay ay ay ay ay, baby please don't go.

Chorus

When i read the letter you wrote, it made me mad mad mad
When i read the news that it brought me
It made me sad sad sad, but i still love you so
I can't let you go, i love you- ooh baby i love you.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh, every breath i take oh oh oh oh oh
Every move i make oh oh oh oh oh, baby please don't go.
Ay ay ay ay ay ay, you hurt me to my soul ay ay ay ay ay
You hurt me to my soul ay ay ay ay ay,
Darling please don't go.

Chorus

Oh oh oh oh oh oh, you don't have to go oh oh oh oh oh
You don't have to go oh oh oh oh oh
(baby please don't go)
(whatever happened to rosie and the originals?)

Sisters of the way-side bide their time in quiet peace,
Await their place within the ring of calm;
Still stand to turn in seconds of release,
Await the call they know may never come.
In times of lightness, no intruder dared upon
To jeopardize the course, upset the run;
And all was joy and hands were raised toward the sun
As love in the halls of plenty overrun.

Still in their bliss unchallenged mighty feast,
Unending dances shadowed on the day.
Within their walls, their daunting formless keep,
Preserved their joy and kept their doubts at bay.
Faceless legions stood in readiness to weep,
Just turn a coin, bring order to the fray;
And everything is soon no sooner thought than deed,
But no one seemed to question in anyway.

How keen the storied hunter's eye prevails upon the land
To seek the unsuspecting and the weak;
And powerless the fabled sat, too smug to lift a hand
Toward the foe that threatened from the deep.
Who cares to dry the cheeks of those who saddened stand
Adrift upon a sea of futile speech?
And to fall to fate and make the 'status plan'
Where was your word, where did you go?
Where was your helping, where was your bow? bow.
Dull is the armour, cold is the day.
Hard was the journey, dark was the way. way.
I heard the word; i couldn't stay. oh.
I couldn't stand it another day, another day,
Another day, another day.

Touched by the timely coming,
Roused from the keeper's sleep,
Release the grip, throw down the key.

Held now within the knowing,
Rest now within the peace.
Take of the fruit, but guard the seed.

They had to stay!

Held now within the knowing,
Rest now within the beat.
Take of the fruit, but guard the seed...

(dixon)

I can't quit you babe
Woman i think i'm gonna put you down for a little while
I can't quit you babe

Nobody's fault but mine (x 2)
Trying to save my soul tonight
It's nobody's fault but mine

Devil he told me to roll (x2)
How to roll the log tonight
Nobody's fault but mine

Brother he showed me the gong?
Brother he showed me the ding dong ding dong
How to roll, the log tonight
Oh, it's nobody's fault but mine

Got a monkey on my back. (x 2)
Gonna change my ways tonight
Nobody's fault but mine

I will get down rollin' tonight
Nobody's fault

In the days of my youth
I was told what it means to be a man,
Now i've reached the age
I've tried to do all those things the best i can.
No matter how i try,
I find my way into the same old jam.

*good times, bad times,
You know i had my share;
When my woman left home
For a brown eyed man,
Well, i still don't seem to care.

Sixteen: i fell in love
With a girl as sweet as could be,
Only took a couple of days
Till she was rid of me.
She swore that she would be all mine
And love me till the end,
But when i whispered in her ear
I lost another friend, oooh.

* chorus

I know what it means to be alone,
I sure do wish i was at home.
I don't care what the neighbors say,
I'm gonna love you each and every day.
You can feel the beat within my heart.
Realize, sweet babe, we ain't ever gonna part.

Wanna tell you about the girl i love
My she looks so fine
She's the only one that i been dreamin' of
Maybe someday she will be all mine
I wanna tell her that i love her so
I thrill with her every touch
I need to tell her she's the only one i really love

I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman, she won't be true, no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said i got a little woman and she won't be true

Sunday morning when we go down to church
See the menfolk standin' in line
I said they come to pray to the lord
With my little girl, looks so fine
In the evening when the sun is sinkin' low
Everybody's with the one they love
I walk the town, keep a-searchin' all around
Lookin' for my street corner girl

I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman, she won't be true, no no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said i got a little woman and she won't be true

In the bars, with the men who play guitars
Singin', drinkin' and rememberin' the times
My little lover does a midnight shift
She balled around all the time
I guess there's just one thing a-left for me to do
Gonna pack my bags and move on my way
Cause i got a worried mind
Sharin' what i thought was mine
Gonna leave her where the guitars play

I got a woman, she won't be true, no no
I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I got a little woman and she won't be true

(hey hey what can i do)

I said she won't be true

(hey hey, what can i say?)

Hey hey, what can i do
I got a woman, she won't be true
Lord, hear what i say
I got a woman, wanna ball all day

Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move
Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove.
Oh, oh, child, way you shake that thing
Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.
Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way
Watch your honey drip, can't keep away.

*ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah., ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah.

I gotta roll, can't stand still,
Got a flame in my heart, can't get my fill,
Eyes that shine burning red,
Dreams of you all thru my head.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.

Hey, baby, oh, baby, pretty baby,
Tell me what you do me now.
(repeat)

Didn't take too long 'fore i found out
What people mean my down and out.
Spent my money, took my car,
Started tellin' her friends she wants to be a star.
I don't know but i been told
A big legged woman ain't got no soul.

* chorus

All i ask for when i pray,
Steady rollin' woman gonna come my way.
Need a woman gonna hold my hand
And tell me no lies, make me a happy man.

Been dazed and confused for so long it's not true,
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Lots of people talk and few of them know,
Soul of a woman was created below. yeah!
You hurt and abused tellin' all of your lies,
Run around sweet baby, lord how they hypnotize.
Sweet little baby, i don't know where you've been,
Gonna love you baby, here i come again.
Every day i work so hard
Bringin' home my hard earned pay
Try to love you baby, but you push me away.
Don't know where you're goin'
Only know just where you've been,
Sweet little baby, i want you again.
Been dazed and confused for so long, it's not true,
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Take it easy baby, let them say what they will.
Will your tongue wag so much when i send you the bill?

*if the sun refused to shine,
I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea,
There will still be you and me.

Kind woman, i give you my all,
Kind woman, nothing more.
Little drops of rain whisper of the pain,
Tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
Together we shall go until we die.
My, my, my, an inspiration is what you are to me,
Inspiration, look see.
And so today, my world it smiles,
Your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
Thanks to you it will be done,
For you to me are the only one.
Happiness, no more be sad,
Happiness....i'm glad.

*chorus

(page/plant)

Then as it was, then again it will be
An' though the course may change sometimes
Rivers always reach the sea
Blind stars of fortune, each have several rays
On the wings of maybe, down in birds of prey
Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to grow
But as the eagle leaves the nest, it's got so far to go

Changes fill my time, baby, that's alright with me
In the midst i think of you, and how it used to be

Did you ever really need somebody, and really need 'em bad
Did you ever really want somebody, the best love you ever had
Do you ever remember me, baby, did it feel so good
'cause it was just the first time, and you knew you would

Through the eyes an' i sparkle, senses growing keen
Taste your love along the way, see your feathers preen
Kind of makes makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to grow
We are eagles of one nest, the nest is in our soul

Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to me
Never thought i'd see your face the way it used to be
Oh darlin', oh darlin'

I'm never gonna leave you. i never gonna leave
Holdin' on, ten years gone
Ten years gone, holdin' on, ten years gone

(jones/page/plant)

I received a message from my brother across the water
He sat laughin' as he wrote the end's in sight
So i said goodbye to all my friends
And packed my hopes inside a matchbox
'cause i know it's time to fly

Come on, meet me in the morning, meet me in the middle of the night
The morning light is comin', don't it make you wanna go and feel alright

I just jumped a train that never stops,
So now somehow i'll know i never finished payin' for my ride
Just n' someone pushed a gun into my hand
Tell me i'm the type of man to fight the fight that i'll require

Come on, meet me in the morning, meet me in the middle of the night
The morning light is comin', don't it make you wanna go and feel alright

Oh, mama, well i think it's time i'm leavin'
Nothin' here to make me stay
Whoa, mama, well it must be time i'm goin'
They're knockin' down them doors
They're tryin' to take me away

Please mr. brakeman, won't you ring your bell. and ring loud and clear
Please mr. fireman, won't you ring your bell
Tell the people they got to fly away from here

I once saw a picture of a lady with a baby
Southern lady, had a very, very special smile
We are in the middle of a change in destination
When the train stops, all together we will smile
Oh, meet me in the morning. won't you meet me in the middle of the night, night, night
Everybody know the mornin' time is comin'
Don't it make you wanna feel alright. ah, ah, yeah
Make me feel alright. fly now, baby
Get to fly, yeah. fly now, baby

(page/plant)

Well i just got into town today
To find my girl who's gone away
She took the greyhound at the general store
I searched myself i searched the town
When i finally did sit down
I find myself no wiser than before

She said we couldn't do no wrong
No other love could be so strong
She locked up my heart in her bottom drawer
Now she took my heart she took my keys
From in my old blue dungarees
And i'll never go to texas anymore

* chorus: now my baby's gone i don't know what to do
She took my love and walked right out the door
And if i ever find that girl i know one thing for sure
I'm gonna give her something like she never had before

I took her love at seventeen
A little late these days it seems
But they said heaven is well worth waiting for
I took her word i took it all
Beneath the sign that said "u-haul"
She left angels hangin round for more

Chorus

I thought i had it all sewn up
Our love, a plot, a pick-up truck
But folks said she was after something more
I never did quite understand
All that talk about rockin' bands
But they just rolled my doll right out the door
Oh yeah, they just rolled my doll right out the door!

Close the door, put out the light.
No, they won't be home tonight.
The snow falls hard and don't you know?
The winds of thor are blowing cold.
They're wearing steel that's bright and true
They carry news that must get through, oooh
They choose the path where no-one goes.
They hold no quarter, they hold no quarter.
Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The dogs of doom are howling more
They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for me and you
They choose the path where no-one goes.
They hold no quarter, they ask no quarter.
The pain, the pain without quarter.
They ask no quarter.
Yeah! without quarter, quarter, yeah!
The dogs of doom are howling more!
I hear the dogs of doom are howling more!

Instrumental

Walkin' in the park just the other day, baby,
What do you, what do you think i saw?
Crowds of people sittin' on the grass with flowers in their hair said,
"hey, boy, do you wanna score?"
And you know how it is;
I really don't know what time it was, woh, oh,
So i asked them if i could stay awhile.
I didn't notice but it had got very dark and i was really,
Really out of my mind.
Just then a policeman stepped up to me and asked us said,
"please, hey, would we care to all get in line,
Get in line."
Well you know,
They asked us to stay for tea and have some fun,
Oh, oh, he said that his friends would all drop by, ooh.
Why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see,
And baby, baby, baby, do you like it?
There you sit, sitting spare like a book on a shelf rustin'
Ah, not trying to fight it.
You really don't care if they're coming, oh, oh,
I know that it's all a state of mind, ooh.
If you go down in the streets today, baby, you better,
You better open your eyes.
Folk down there really don't care, really don't care,
Don't care, really don't
Which, which way the pressure lies,
So i've decided what i'm gonna do now.
So i'm packing my bags for the misty mountains
Where the spirits go now,
Over the hills where the spirits fly, ooh, i really don't know.

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,
Think i see my friends coming,
Riding a many mile.
Friends, did you get some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my dear friends,
To keep me from the gallows pole?
What did you bring me to keep me from the gallows pole?
I couldn't get no silver, i couldn't get no gold,
You know that we're too damn poor
To keep you from the gallows pole.
Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,
I think i see my brother coming,
Riding a many mile.
Brother, did you get me some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my brother,
To keep me from the gallows pole?
Brother, i brought you some silver,
I brought a little gold,
I brought a little of ev'ry thing
To keep you from the gallows pole.
Yes, i brought you to keep you from the gallows pole.
Hangman, hangman, turn your head awhile,
I think i see my sister coming,
Riding a many mile, mile, mile.
Sister, i implore you, take him by the hand,
Take him to some shady bower,
Save me from the wrath of this man,
Please take him,
Save me from the wrath of this man, man.
Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile,
Pray tell me that i'm free to ride,
Ride for many mile, mile, mile.
Oh, yes, you got a fine sister,
She warmed my blood from cold,
Brought my blood to boiling hot
To keep you from the gallows pole,
Your brother brought me silver,
Your sister warmed my soul,
But now i laugh and pull so hard
And see you swinging on the gallows pole
Keep-a-swingin'!
Swingin' on the gallows pole!

I had a dream, oh, yeah, crazy dream, uh-huh.
Anything i wanted to know, any place i needed to go
Hear my song
Yeah...people don't you listen now? sing along!
Oh, you don't know what you're missing now.
Any little song that you know
Everything that's small has to grow.
And it has to grow!, push push, yeah!
California sunlight, sweet calcutta rain
Honolulu starbright--the song remains the same. ooh! ooh!
Here we go!, honolulu now...
Sing out hare hare, dance the hoochie koo.
City lights are oh so bright, as we go sliding
Sliding, sliding through., oh!

I was burned in the heat of the moment,
Though it couldn't have been the heat of the day
When i learned how my time had been wasted,
(and a) tear fell as i turned away

Now i've got friends who will give me their shoulder,
Event i should happen to fall
Time and his bride growing older
I've got friends who will give me fuck all

(on the) corner of bleeker and nowhere
In the land of not quite day
A shiver runs down my backbone
Face in the mirror turns grey

So (i) looked round to hitch up the reindeer
Searching hard trying to brighten the day
I turned around to look for the snowman
To my surprise he'd melted away.

As the moon and the stars call the order
Inside my tides dance the ebb and sway
The sun in my soul's sinking lower
While the hope in my hands turns to clay
I don't ask that my field's full of clover
I don't moan at opportunity's door
And if you ask my advice, take it slower
Then your story'd be your finest reward.

Lost on the path to attainment
Search in the eyes of the wise
When i bled from the heart of the matter
I started bleeding without a disguise

Now everything's fine under heaven
Now and then you've got to take time to pause
When you're down on the ground, don't be messin' around
Or you'll land in a boat without oars
Hey babe, hey babe, hey babe,
I lost my way.

Hey babe, hey babe,
I don't know where i'm gonna find it.

Hey babe, hey babe,
Do you wanna know,
Do you really, really, wanna help me, yeah?

Let me tell you now, babe
Let me tell you
That it feels so good that it must be right

Now my babe,
Let me tell you
That it feels so good that it must be right...

I wanna tell you bout my good thing
I ain't disclosing no names but--
He sure is a good friend and!
I ain't gonna tell you where he comes from, no!
If i tell you you wont come again! hey!
I ain't gonna tell you nothin but i do will, but i know, yeah!
I should do but i know now let me tell you bout my girl:
Open up a newspaper and what do i see? ahh, ah
See my girl, ah, looking at me
Ooh, and when she walks, ooh, lemme tell ya:
She walks and when she talks, she talks and
When she looks at me in the eye
She's my baby lord i wanna make her mine
Tell me baby what you want me to do!
You want me to love you, love some other man too?
Ain't gonna call me mr. pitiful, no!
I don't need no respect from nobody no! no!

She's the one that really makes me whirl and twirl!
And she's the kind of lover that makes me me fill the whole world and
She's the one who really makes me jump and shout, ooh!
She's the kind of girl--i know what it's all about!
Take it take it
Excuse me
Oh will ya excuse me
I'm just trying to find the bridge
Has anybody seen the bridge?

I ain't seen the bridge!
(where's that confounded bridge?)

(jones/page/plant)

Oh she's my baby, let me tell you why
Hey, she drives me crazy, she's the apple of my eye
'cause she is my girl, and she can never do wrong
If i dream too much at night, somebody please bring me down

Hey, i love that little lady, i got to be her fool
Ain't no other like my baby, i can break the golden rule
'cause i get down on my knees, oh, i pray that love won't die
And if i always try to please, i don't know the reason why, yeah

If she would come back, only stay with me

Every little bit of my love, etc., i give to you girl

I don't have to go by plane
I ain't gotta go by car
I don't care just where my darling is
People i just don't care how far

I don't care if i got to go back home
I don't care what i got to stand to her back
I'm gonna crawl

I've really, really been the best of fools,
I did what i could, yeah
'cause i love you, baby,
How i love you, darling,
How i love you, baby,

That you didn't mean me no good.
I've been trying, lord, let me tell you,
Let me tell you i really did the best i could.
I've been working from seven to eleven ev'ry night,
I said it kinda makes my life a drag.
Lord, that ain't right, no no!
Since i've been loving you,
I'm about to lose my worried mind.
Said i've been crying,
My tears they fell like rain,
Don't you hear,
Don't you hear them falling,
Don't you hear,
Don't you hear them falling.
Said i been cryin, yeah!
Oh my tears they felt like rain.
Don't you hear them falling?
Don't you hear them?
Do you remember, mama, when i knocked upon your door?
I said you had the nerve to tell me
You didn't want me no more, yeah
I open my front door, hear my back door slam,
You must have one of them new fangled,
New fangled back door man,
I've been working from seven, seven, seven,
To eleven ev'ry night,
It kinda makes my life a drag, a drag, drag,
Ah, yeah, it makes a drag.
Baby, since i've been loving you,
I'm about to lose,
I'm about to lose, lose my worried mind.
Just one more!
Oh yeah
Since i've been loving you, i'm about to lose my worried mind.

One time love, take care how you use it
Try to make it last all night, and if you take your pick
Be careful how you choose it, sometimes its hard to feel it bite
Feel it bite.

A man i know, went down to louisiana,
Had himself a bad, bad fight
And when the sun peeked through
John cameron with suzanna,
He kissed the whiskers, left & right
Whiskers!

Now, now, now, fright subsides
Out at a hotel in the quarter, our friends check in to pass the night
Now love gets hot, but fire preceded water
Poor whiskers set the room alight.
Whiskers!

Down on bourbon street, you know it's right
You can see my friend, they run around all through the night
Most everywhere, until the closet's bare
Run for the razor, doin' up my hair

New orleans queens, sure know how to schmooze it
Maybe for some that seems alright
When i step out, strut down with my sugar
She'd best not talk like barry white!

One time love, take care how you use it
Try to make it last all night, and if you take your pick
Be careful how you choose it, sometimes its hard to feel it bite
Feel it bite.

Ooh...know i feel so strange looking out the door
Oooh...tryin hard to change but can't let go
Oooh...cryin' tears of pain and more and more
Oooh...everyday is the same as the one before

I'm walkin the floor over you
I'm walkin the floor

Every heart that breaks is a heart that's cold
To the hand that takes your dreamless soul

Ooh...is it long to wait, is it much to pay?
Oooh...sometimes it's hard waiting for the day.

You know it's hard. i said it's hard
You know it's true. i said it's hard
You know it's hard. you know it's true

Every tear that falls is a smile that's lost
When you hear the call can you count the cost?
As you stand alone do you wonder how?
Can you step aside, does it matter now?

Every love that's changed ?-?-?-?-?-?
In the eye of the night ?-?-?-
In the day everything ?-?-?-?
She was smilin' a tear at her waters fall ??

You know it's true. you know it's true now

I'm walkin the floor over you
I'm walkin' the floor
Every tear that falls is a smile that's lost
When you hear the call can you count the cost?
As you stand alone do you wonder how?
Can you step aside, does it matter now?

Does it matter now? (repeat)

Ooh, come on baby... be my baby

When i see you on the street, it makes my heart go flitter
I see you walkin with all those guys
It makes me feel so sick

And i don't care what people say
And i don't care what they do
Sweet child i gotta make you mine
You're the only thing that i want: you!
Baby baby when you walk down the block,
See the people (????)
Woooh! child! oh ya drive me wild!

I'm gonna send ya in another world

Cause i love darlene, i gotta love 'er, yes i do
I've been savin all my money
I've been workin all day long
I gotta give it all back to you!

Measuring a summer's day,
I only finds it slips away to grey,
The hours, they bring me pain.

*tangerine, tangerine,
Living reflection from a dream;
I was her love, she was my queen,
And now a thousand years between.

Thinking how it used to be,
Does she still remember times like these?
To think of us again?
And i do.

* chorus

Baby, when you walk that sweet walk
Oh, you walk it good, yes you walk it good
Baby, when you talk that sweet talk
Oh, it sounds so good, oh so good

With a little bit of concentration
And a little bit of helpin' hands, yeah
And a little bit of raving madness
You know it makes me feel, baby
Both my feet are back on the ground

And when the rhythm takes me
It feels so good, oh so good
Baby if it keeps a-shaking
It will do you good, oh so much good

With a little bit of stop-a-shakin' shakin'
And a little bit of ?fly right down?
And a little bit of sweet con-carne
It makes me feel, makes me feel
I got my feet on the ground

Ooh now baby, when you move it makes me
Really feel so good, oh so good
And i'm so glad, so glad, so glad, so glad
And i'm good, oh, so good
With a little bit of concentration
And a little bit of helping hand
And a little bit of ?saving madness?
You know it makes me feel, baby
I'm back on the ground oh yes, sure does
It makes me feel back on the ground.

I'm feelin' good child!
Down on the ground.
Sha la la la...

You said i was the only, with my lemon in your hand
Exhibition is your habit, emotion second hand.
Had to pull away to save me, maybe next time around
And she said, 'don't you wanna'?
Don't you wanna cook it, cook it, cook it?
Hadn't planned to, could not stand to try it, fry it, na na na yeah.

Heard a cry for mercy, in the city of the damned
Oh oh babe, damned. down in the pits you go no lower
The next stop's underground. oh, hello underground.
Wine and roses ain't quite over, fate deals a losing hand
And i said: didn't mean to... did not mean to fail
You didn't plan it, you over-ran it

You wanna do it, you wanna
You wanna do it when you wanna
You wanna do it, do it when you wanna

When you blow it, babe, you got to blow it right
Oh baby, if you fake it, mama, baby, fake with all your might
When you fake it, mama, please fake it right (for yourself babe)

When you fake it baby,
You're fakin' it for your life, for your life, for your life, for your life
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it when you wanna
Do it, do it, do it, do it when you wanna

Oh, i can have you, baby, but i don't know what to do, yeah
Sometime, baby, nothin' i could do
On the balance of a crystal, payin' through the nose
And when they couldn't resist you, i thought you'd go with the flow.

And now your stage is empty, bring down the curtain, baby please.
Fold up your show
Hadn't planned to, could not stand to fry in it
Hadn't planned it, i over-ran it, (fryin)
For your life, for your life.

Leaves are falling all around,
It's time i was on my way.
Thanks to you, i'm much obliged
For such a pleasant stay.
But now it's time for me to go,
The autumn moon lights my way.
For now i smell the rain,
And with it pain,
And it's headed my way.
Ah, sometimes i grow so tired,
But i know i've got one thing i got to do,

*ramble on,
And now's the time, the time is now
To sing my song.
I'm goin' 'round the world,
I got to find my girl, on my way.
I've been this way ten years to the day, ramble on,
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.

Got no time to for spreadin' roots,
The time has come to be gone.
And tho' our health we drank a thousand times,
It's time to ramble on.

* chorus

I ain't tellin' no lie.
Mine's a tale that can't be told,
My freedom i hold dear;
How years ago in days of old
When magic filled the air,
T'was in the darkest depths of mordor
I met a girl so fair,
But gollum, and the evil one crept up
And slipped away with her.
Her, her....yea.
Ain't nothing i can do, no.

* chorus

Gonna ramble on, sing my song
Gotta keep-a-searchin' for my baby...
Gonna work my way, round the world
I can't stop this feelin' in my heart
Gotta keep searchin' for my baby
I can't find my bluebird!
I'd listen to my bluebird sing but i can't find my blue bird
A-keep-a ramblin' baby...

As i walk down the highway all i do is sing this song,
And a train that's passin' my way helps the rhythm move along.
There is no doubt about the words are clear,
The voice is strong, is oh so strong.
I'm just a simple guy, i live from day to day.
A ray of sunshine melts my frown and blows my blues away,
There's nothing more that i can say but on a day like today
I pass the time away and walk a quiet mile with you.

*all i need from you is all your love,
All you got to give to me is all your love,
All i need from you is all your love,
All you got to give to me is all your love.

Oooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, oh yeah.
I'm so glad i'm living and gonna tell the world i am,
I got me a fine woman and she says that i'm her man,
One thing that i know for sure gonna give her all the loving
Like nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody can.
Standing in the noonday sun trying to flag a ride,
People go and people come, see my rider right by my side,
It's a total disgrace, they set the pace, it must be a race
And the best thing i can do is run.

* chorus

And if you feel that you can't go on. and your will's sinkin' low
Just believe and you can't go wrong.
In the light you will find the road. you will find the road

Oh, did you ever believe that i could leave you, standing out in the cold
I know how it feels 'cause i have slipped through to the very depths of my soul.
I just wanna show what i'd give you it is from every bend in the road
Now listen to me
Oh, whoa-whoa, as i was and really would be for you, too, honey
As you would for me, oh, i would share your load.
Let me share your load. ooh, let me share, share your load

And if you feel that you can't go on
In the light you will find the road

Though the winds of change may blow around you, but that will always be so
When love is pain it can devour you, if you are never alone
I would share your load. i would share your load
Baby, let me, oh, let me

In the light
Everybody needs the light.
In the light, in the light, in the light

Light, light, light, in the light
Light, light, light, in the light, ooh, yeah
Light, light, light, in the light

hey lady--you got the love i need
Maybe more than enough.
Oh darling... walk a while with me
Ooh, you've got so much...
Many have i loved, many times been bitten
Many times i've gazed, along the open road.
Many times i've lied, many times i've listened
Many times i've wondered, how much there is to know.
Many dreams come true, and some have silver linings
I live for my dream, and a pocketful of gold.
Mellow is the man, who knows what he's been missing
Many many men, can't see the open road.
Many is a word, that only leaves you guessing
Guessing 'bout a thing, you really ought to know, ooh!
You really ought to know, i really ought to know!
Oooh, you know i should, you know i should, you know i should...

(page/plant)

Let me take you to the movies. can i take you to the show
Let me be yours ever truly. can i make your garden grow

From the houses of the holy, we can watch the white doves go
From the door comes satan's daughter, and it only goes to show. you know.

There's an angel on my shoulder, in my hand a sword of gold
Let me wander in your garden. and the seeds of love i'll sow. you know.

So the world is spinning faster. are you dizzy when you're stoned
Let the music be your master. will you heed the master's call
Oh... satan and man.

Said there ain't no use in crying. cause it will only, only drive you mad
Does it hurt to hear them lying? was this the only world you had? oh-oh

So let me take you, take you to the movie. can i take you, baby, to the show.
Why don't you let me be yours ever truly. can i make your garden grow
You know.

Oh, baby, it's cryin' time, oh, baby, i got to fly.
Got to try to find a way, got to try to get away,
'cause you know i gotta get away from you, babe.
Oh, baby, the river's red, oh, baby, in my head.
There's a funny feelin' goin' on, i don't think i can hold out long.

*and when the owls cry in the night,
Oh, baby, baby, when the pines begin to cry,
Baby, baby, baby, how do you feel?
If the river runs dry, baby, how do you feel?

Craze, baby, the rainbow's end, mmm, baby, it's just a den
For those who hide, who hide their love to depths of life
And ruin dreams that we all knew so, babe.

* chorus

How many more times,
Treat me the way you wanna do?
How many more times,
Treat me the way you wanna do?
When i give you all my love,
Please, please be true.
I'll give you all i've got to give,
Rings, pearls, and all.
I'll give you all i've got to give,
Rings, pearls, and all.
I've got to get you together baby,
I'm sure, sure you're gonna crawl.
Wanna love some other man too!
I was a young man, i couldn't resist
Started thinkin' it all over, just what i had missed.
Got me a girl and i kissed her and then and then...
Whoops, oh lordy, well i did it again.
Now i got ten children of my own
I got another child on the way that makes eleven.
But i'm in constant heaven.
I know it's all right in my mind
'cause i got a little schoolgirl and she's all mine
I can't get through to her 'cause it doesn't permit
But i'm gonna give her everything i've got to give.
Oh, rosie, oh, girl x2
Steal away now, steal away
Steal away baby, steal away
Little robert anthony wants to come and play.
Why don't you come to me baby?
Steal away, all right, all right...
Well they call me the hunter, that's my name
They call me the hunter, that's how i got my fame
Ain't no need to hide,
Ain't no need to run
'cause i've got you in the sights of my..........gun!
How many more times
Barrelhouse all night long, all right!
How many more times
Barrelhouse all night long?
I've got to get to you, baby
Baby, please come home.
Why don't you listen to me babe?
Why don't you please come home? x3
Ooh!

With a purple umbrella and a fifty cent hat,
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.
Missus cool rides out in her aged cadillac.
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

*come on, babe on the round about,
Ride on the merry-go-round,
We all know what your name is,
So you better lay your money down.

Alimony, alimony payin' your bills,
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.
When your conscience hits, you knock it back with pills.
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

* chorus

Tellin' tall ( helen told ??) tales of how it used to be,
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.
With the butler and the maid and the servants three ( servantry ? ).
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman, oh, you got it.
Nobody hears a single word you say.
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.
But you keep on talkin' till your dyin' day.
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

* chorus

Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

And if i say to you tomorrow,
Take my hand, child, come with me.
It's to a castle i will take you,
Where what's to be, they say will be.

*catch the wind, see us spin,
Sail away, leave today,
Way up high in the sky.
But the wind won't blow,
You really shouldn't go,
It only goes to show
That you will be mine
By takin' our time. ooh!

And if you say to me tomorrow,
Oh what fun it all would be,
Then what's to stop us, pretty baby,
But what is and what should never be.

* chorus

So if you wake up with the sunrise,
And all your dreams are still as new,
And happiness is what you need so bad,
Girl, the answer lies with you, yeah.

* chorus

Hey, oh
Oh the wind wont blow and we really shouldn't go
And it only goes to show-ow-ow.
Catch the wind, we're gonna see it spin
We're gonna...sail, little girl
Do do do, bop bop a do-oh
My my my my my my yeah
Everybody i know seems to know me well
--but does anybody know i'm gonna move like hell
--but they're never gonna know cause i move like hell.
