Won't You Feel Good That Morning (Leslie / Day)
Can't take no more lies or cheating
I had took a long hard
Dragged out miserable life you see
Nothing means much to me
Stand up, call out
Don't take nothing low down
It's much better
When you're making your own way
Your own say
Won't we feel good that morning
Going along our way together
Won't we feel good that day hey, hey, hey, hey
Going along together
Taking our time in seeking our pleasure
Won't we feel good that day hey, hey, hey, hey
Won't we feel good that morning
Going along our way
Won't we feel good that morning
Won't we feel good that day
Won't we feel good that morning
Won't we feel good that day
Stand up, call out
Don't take nothing low down
It's much better
When you're making your own way
Your own say
Won't we feel good that morning
Going along our way together
Won't we feel good that day hey, hey, hey, hey
Going along together
Taking our time in seeking our pleasure
Won't we feel good that day hey, hey, hey, hey
Won't we feel good that morning
Going along our way together
Won't we feel good that day hey, hey, hey, hey
Touch (Rickfors)
Quiet shadows plays in the evening
In the cold sea the sun went down
Bright stars on the blue water
In the hours of the night
All the sweetness touched by hands
Everything's close but so far away
Everything's given to people as a law
The wind rests
The creek is like a mirror
And the sailor takes down the sails
Over the meadow
The mist is dancing
You can't believe it
But this is all yours
All the sweetness touched by hands
Everything's close but so far away
Everything's given to people as a law
Break
Quiet shadows plays in the evening
In the cold sea the sun went down
Bright stars on the blue water
In the hours of the night
All the sweetness touched by hands
Everything's close but so far away
Everything's given to people as a law
Words Don't Come Easy (Jennings)
Standing in the shadow of a Spanish lady
Second hand bargain
With a song so sad and a rose in her hand
Was crying
Lonely rooms in back of bars
Bright lights and sitting out in the stars
There was room to write a poem
But the words don't come easy
They're hung on frozen lips standing there
While the world's anticipating love
And the words don't come easy
Lady laughs a laughing tear and says
All we really need today
Is the sun in our life
The sun in our life
Money was only mean to buy time
No money left over
Made the street to show that the door was open
Out in the silence of the angry crowd
Only the beggars crying aloud
Not a precious thing was spoken
But the words don't come easy
They're hung on frozen lips standing there
While the world's anticipating love
And the words don't come easy
Lady laughs a laughing tear and says
All we really need today
Is the sun in our life
The sun in our life
Magic Woman Touch (Jennings / Watt-Roy)
I'm looking through at yesterday
All my life thrown away
Keep searching for the same old clue
How can I get to you
Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch
Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch
I know there's been a change in me
Ask me why I don't know
My friends no longer speak to me
Pass me by I don't know
Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch
Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch
I've made up my mind
On what I'm gonna do
This feeling inside
Making it all right, making it all right
Making it all right with me
Break
Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch
Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch
Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch
Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch
Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch
Lizzy and The Rainman (Henley / O'Dell)
He came riding in on a sunrise
A hot west Texas day
A fancy man in a painted wagon
Some fancy things to say
Looks like you folks'll need some water
Well water is my game
For the small price of a hundred dollars
I bet you I can make it rain
So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come
Someone start a fire burning, somebody beat the drum
Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before the day is over you folks'll see some rain
They all just stood a staring trying to believe
But there was one named Lizzy Cooper said he was a lying cheat
She said you call yourself a rainman, well you oughta be ashamed
For starting all these people dreaming thinking you can make it rain
So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come
Someone keep the fire burning, somebody beat the drum
Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before the day is over you folks'll see some rain
Oh Lizzy, a man's gotta have a dream
And if you can't walk on the inside with me
I'll meet you in between
Come with me Lizzy
And the stars'll write your name
And if you still think I'm lying to you
Look yonder here comes the rain
So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come
Someone keep the fire burning, somebody beat the drum
Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before the day is over you folks'll see some rain
So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come
Someone keep the fire burning, somebody beat the drum
Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before the day is over you folks'll see some rain
Down River (Ackles)
Good to see you again, Rosie
I know I've changed a lot since then
You're lookin' fine, babe
Three years that ain't long, Rosie
I still remember our song
When you were mine, babe
Times change, times change I know
But it sure moves slow
Down river when you're locked away
Hey why didn't you write, Rosie
I stayed awake most every night
Countin' my time, babe
Oh no I ain't mad Rosie
I know you had to mind your dad
But just a line, babe
Oh sure I remember then, why
We went all through school
Ain't that right
Well he ain't no fool
He's a good man, Rosie
Hold him tight as you can
Don't ask me why, babe
Yeah nice seein' you again, Rosie
Me, I got things to do
Well good-bye, babe
Times change, times change I know
But it sure moves slow
Down river when you're locked away
Times change, times change I know
But it sure moves slow
Down river when you're locked away
Rosie, down river
Down river when you're locked away
Rosie, I'm losing
Down river
Slow Down (Leslie / Day)
Got to stop from running
Got to make myself slow down
If I need some loving
Got to find some love around
I can't hold on
It's been so long
And I'd do anything
To find some love, good love
If I slow down
If I take a look around
Maybe I'll come across
Some home sweet home
If I slow down
Yeah if I slow down
If I slow down
Yeah if I slow down
Break
I can't hold on
It's been so long
And I'd do anything
To find some love, good love
If I slow down
If I take a look around
Maybe I'll come across
Some home sweet home
Got to stop from running
Got to make myself slow down
If I need some loving
Got to find some love around
If I slow down
Yeah if I slow down
If I slow down
Baby if I slow down
If I slow down
Baby if I slow down
If I slow down
Baby if I slow down
Delaware Taggett And The Outlaw Boys (Jennings)
Young girls and porches are filling out
Tempers and torches are burning
Brown is the colour of town
Living in thunder
Hair on my top lip now I'm a man
I so often hear and feel it
Nice paying the price for being kept under
Mama says don't hang around that front gate too long
Boys like you who stay too late are surely gonna go so wrong
But Mama there's safety in numbers
The first time I've ever felt strong
Delaware Taggett and the Outlaw Boys
Adding a laugh to the Broadway noise
Slipping around when your mind don't wanna go home
Off-duty porters lay sleeping wives
On-duty daughters are finding
Why just touching a boy gives a thrill like a shiver
Whispers and shadows are moving fast
No prizes given to people
Last drowned in the past down on the river
Mama says don't hang around that front gate too long
Boys like you who stay too late are surely gonna go so wrong
But Mama there's safety in numbers
The first time I've ever felt strong
Delaware Taggett and the Outlaw Boys
Adding a laugh to the Broadway noise
Slipping around when your mind don't wanna go home
Jesus Was A Crossmaker (Sill)
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flying low for me
One time I trusted a stranger
'cause I heard his sweet song
And it was gently enticing me
There was something wrong
When I turned he was gone
Blinding me, his song remains reminding me
He's a bandit and a heartbreaker
Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flying low for me
He wages war with the devil
A pistol by his side
And though he chases him out windows
Won't give him a place to hide
He keeps his door open wide
Fighting him
He lights a lamp inviting him
He's a bandit and a heartbreaker
Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flying low for me
I hear the thunder come rumbling
The light never looked so dim
I see the junction get nearer
And danger's in the wind
And either road's looking grim
Hiding me I flee, desire dividing me
He's a bandit and a heartbreaker
Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker
Yeah but Jesus was a crossmaker
Romany (Jennings)
Take me home
Sailing on with Romany wandering
To and fro on an icy morning
Feeling calm to have an old friend 'round
Feeling warm to see the wind blow down
Take me home
Where the saints and children laughing
Tell the Dutchman ships are passing
Feeling safe to reach the harbor sound
Feeling warm to see the wind blow down
Take me home
Leave the galley sailors talking
Leave the bridge and captain's walking
Feeling naked on the covered ground
Feeling warm to see the wind blow down
The wind blowed
Down in the moonless light
The sea was dark
The breeze was light
Everyone's thoughts were their own
Caught by the ocean thief
The bow hit on a coral reef
Romany sank like a stone
Break
Down in the moonless light
The sea was dark
The breeze was light
Everyone's thoughts were their own
Caught by the ocean thief
The bow hit on a coral reef
Romany sank like a stone
Take me home
Sailing on with Romany wandering
To and fro on an icy morning
Feeling calm to have an old friend 'round
Feeling warm to see the wind blow down
Blue In The Morning (Lynch / Hicks)
I'm gonna be blue in the morning
I'm gonna be blue in the morning
Soon as I saw the look in her eyes
I should known it was over over
I'm gonna be blue in the morning
'Cause I can't take a warning
Meet a girl and fall in love
With just a pretty face so easy easy
God help, me don't wanna be
Don't wanna be a loser
Loser no more
Please help me, help me to see
Help me to see the chooser
Chooser for sure
Break
I'm gonna be blue in the morning
'Cause I can't take a warning
Meet a girl and fall in love
With just a pretty face so easy easy
God help, me don't wanna be
Don't wanna be a loser
Loser no more
Please help me, help me to see
Help me to see the chooser
Chooser for sure
God help, me don't wanna be
Don't wanna be a loser
Loser no more
Courage Of Your Convictions (Rush / Cullers)
If you know you're right
When the others are wrong
It's hard to sit and take it
They treat you like you've lost your senses
Call you troublemaker
I'm not trying to cause you trouble
I don't wanna fight
Someone's got to stand up sometime
And do what's right
Just have the courage of
The courage of your convictions
People tell you do what's right
And set and good example
Sometimes right means who to hate
Listen to the people
I'm not trying to mess your mind up
But it's plain to see
People pulling from both sides
It's agitating me
So have the courage of
The courage of your convictions
Break
People teaming up on sides
Hating one another
Know your heart before you join
A team to hurt your brother
If there's a way to lead us from this
Like in troubled times
It won't be found through blood and hate
But through courageous minds
So have the courage of
The courage of your convictions
The Baby
Passion of the spring came the baby
And in the passion of the spring came the baby
Words that were spoken in the anger of youth only half the truth
Touched by the child bride while deep inside her lie the real truth
He was the passion of the spring he was the baby
And half-forgotten in the passing of time the real crime
Brother to brother with backs to each other the war sign
And in the passion of the spring came the baby
Come back mama mama sing him a song
Tell him all that was wrong
Tell him all that you had that was bad
Tell him all that was good mama
You know that you should mama
Remember the good mama
Break
And in the passion of the spring
Came the baby
Come back mama mama sing him a song
Tell him all that was wrong
Tell him all that you had that was bad
Tell him all that was good mama
You know that you should mama
Remember the good mama
And with a light that you show
Let him go
Let him go let him go
Let him go let him let him go
Words that were spoken in the anger of youth only half the truth
Touched by the child bride while deep inside her lie the real truth
He was the passion of the spring he was the baby
He was the passion of the spring he was the baby
He was the passion of the spring he was the baby
And in the passion of the spring came the baby
And in the passion of the spring came the baby
The baby yeah the baby
The baby yeah the baby
The baby yeah the baby

Indian Girl (Sylvester)
I see the snowflakes falling
I hear the drumbeat calling
I am just only lonely Indian girl
Braver than all the braves now
I sit at every pow-wow
I fought a million men for Indian girl
Ten hides and twenty horses
It's what the tribal law says
Too much for me to pay for Indian girl
Oh sun shine on sun shine on
Take my darkness away
Oh sun shine on sun shine on
And bring this girl my way
Far from her lonely teepee
Wind sends her sweetness to me
Too much for me to bear my Indian girl
Gather your things together
And bring your wedding feather
We'll steal away forever Indian girl
Oh sun shine on sun shine on
The path that leads away
Oh sun shine on sun shine on
This our brightest day
If It Wasn't For The Reason
Another day gone and I think of you
Wonder where you're goin', wonder what you do, without me
A telephone call from a friend I know
Left me feelin' bitter, left me feelin' so unhappy
'Cause if you couldn't wait for 24 hours
What good would telegrams and flowers do
If it wasn't for the reason that I love you, baby
I wouldn't have another thing to say to you
Might as well stay for a day or two
Find another friend and have a drink or two to pass the time
Talkin' over troubles in a whisky daze
A little drop of cognac helps a man to face the lonely times
'Cause it's sad being home and I've given up tryin'
I've got no lyin' that I wanna do
If it wasn't for the reason that I love you, baby
I wouldn't have another thing to say to you
Break
Wish I could find a way, work out the words to say
You cheated and you lied, you took away the little pride I had inside
If it wasn't for the reason that I love you, baby
I wouldn't have another thing to say to you
Another day gone and I think of you
Wonder where you're goin', wonder what to do, without me
A telephone call from a friend I know
Left me feelin' bitter, left me feelin' so unhappy
Might as well stay for a day or two
Find another friend and have a drink or two to pass the time
Talkin' over troubles in a whisky daze
A little drop of cognac helps a man to face
Papa Rain
Witchy Woman
Raven hair and ruby lips
Sparks fly from her finger tips
Echoed voices in the night
She's a restless spirit on an endless flight
Wooo hooo witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye
She held me spellbound in the night
Dancing shadows and firelight
Crazy laughter in another room
And she drove herself to madness
With a silver spoon
Woo hoo witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye
Break
I know you want a lover,
Let me tell your brother
She's been sleeping in the Devil's bed.
There's a rumour going round
Someone's underground
She can rock you in the nighttime
Make your skin turn red
Woo hoo witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye
Oh Granny (Taylor)
Granny got up early one sunny day
Went to get the ferry down to Nashville
Went to find my sister who had run away
Run off with a barker on a fair wheel
Oh Granny don't you bother with her
She really didn't love us anyway
No Granny don't you bring her back home
You're never gonna make her wanna stay
Granny brought us both up from the age of four
Gave us education and a home yeah
Made sure we were brung up in a proper way
Granny worked her fingers to the bone yeah
Oh Granny don't you bother with her
She really didn't love us anyway
No Granny don't you bring her back home
You're never gonna make her wanna stay
No Granny she really didn't love us anyway
No Granny I won't bother with her
I know she'll never ever wanna stay
Break
Oh Granny don't you bother with her
She really didn't love us anyway
No Granny don't you bring her back home
You're never gonna make her wanna stay
Just the other day my granny passed away
Doc says she was pining for her baby
Now I go to put some flowers on her grave
She really was a very special lady
Oh Granny I won't bother with her
She really didn't love us anyway
No Granny I wouldn't bring her back home
You're never gonna make her wanna stay
No Granny she really didn't love us anyway
No Granny I won't bother with her
I know she'll never ever wanna stay
No Granny she really didn't love us anyway
No Granny I won't bother with her
I know she'll never ever wanna stay
I had a dream
I had a dream
You were so near to me
But when I woke you were gone
When I woke you were gone
Break
Thinking of you
Being so far away
I guess I got memories
Guess I got memories
Lying alone I feel your golden hair
Skyline of silver-blue
Trying to find words to pacify
My feelings of loneliness for you
Break
Lying alone I feel your golden hair
Skyline of silver-blue
Trying to find words to pacify
My feelings of loneliness for you
I had a dream
You are so near to me
But when I wake you are gone
When I wake you are gone
When I wake you are gone |
