[spoken]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 [X2]Little Robert Anthony wants to come and play. 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. [X2]I've got to get to you, baby, baby, please come home.
«The Lemon Song»I should have quit you, long time ago. [X2]I wouldn't be here, my children, down on this killin' floor. I should have listened, baby, to my second mind [X2]Everytime I go away and leave you, darling, you send me the blues way down the line. Said, people worry I can't keep you satisfied. Let me tell you baby, you ain't nothin but a two-bit, no-good jive. Went to sleep last night, worked as hard as I can, Bring home my money, you take my money, give it to another man. I should have quit you, baby, such a long time ago. I wouldn't be here with all my troubles, down on this killing floor. Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg. [X2]The way you squeeze my lemon, I'm gonna fall right out of bed. I'm gonna leave my children down on this killing floor.
«Heartbreaker»Hey fellas, have you heard the news? You know that Annie's back in town? It won't take long just watch and see how the fellas lay their money down. Her style is new but the face is the same as it was so long ago, But from her eyes, a different smile like that of one who knows. Well, it's been ten years and maybe more since I first set eyes on you. The best years of my life gone by, here I am alone and blue. Some people cry and some people die by the wicked ways of love; But I'll just keep on rollin' along with the grace of the Lord above. People talkin' all around 'bout the way you left me flat, I don't care what the people say, I know where their jive is at. One thing I do have on my mind, if you can clarify please do, It's the way you call me by another guy's name when I try to make love to you. I try to make love but it ain't no use. Work so hard I couldn't unwind, get some money saved; Abuse my love a thousand times, however hard I tried. Heartbreaker, your time has come, can't take your evil way; Go away, Heartbreaker.
«What Is And What Should Never Be»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. [Chorus]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. 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. [Chorus]Oh the wind wont blow and we really shouldn't go and it only goes to show. 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 wellbut they're never gonna know that I move like hell.
«Ramble On»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. Sometimes I grow so tired, but I know I've got one thing I got to do... [Chorus]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 to' our health we drank a thousand times, it's time to Ramble On. [Chorus]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....yeah. [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!
«Living Loving Maid (She's Just A Woman)»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. [Chorus]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 tales of how it used to be. Livin', lovin', she's just a woman. With the butler and the maid and the servants three. Livin', lovin', she's just a woman. 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.
«Bring It On Home»Baby, baby... I'm gonna bring it on home to you. I've got my ticket, I've got that load. Got up, gone higher, all aboard. Take my seat, right way back. ooh yeah. Watch this train roll down the track. I'm gonna bring it on home, Bring it on home to you. Watch out, watch out... Try to tell you baby, what you tryin' to do? Tryin' to love me baby, love some other man too. Bring it on home... Went a little walk downtown, messed and got back late. Found a note there waiting, it said, «Daddy, I just can't wait.» Bring it on home... Bring it back home to me baby... Tell you, pretty baby, you love to mess me `round. I'm gonna give you lovin', baby, gonna move you out o' town. Bring it on home... Sweetest little baby, daddy ever saw. I'm gonna give you lovin' baby, I'm gonna give you more. Bring it on home... Bring it on home, Bring it on home to you...
«Black Dog»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. [Chorus]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 through my head. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Hey, baby, oh, baby, pretty baby, Tell me won't you you do me now. Didn't take too long 'fore I found out, what people mean my down and out. Spent my money, took my car, started telling 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, won't tell me no lies, make me a happy man.
«Stairway To Heaven»There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold And she's buying the stairway to heaven. When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for. Ooh, ooh, and she's buying the stairway to heaven. There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings. In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings, Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven. Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, it makes me wonder. There's a feeling I get when I look to the west, And my spirit is crying for leaving. In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees, And the voices of those who stand looking. Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, it really makes me wonder. And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason. And a new day will dawn for those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter. If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now, It's just a spring clean for the May queen. Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on. And it makes me wonder. Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know, The piper's calling you to join him, Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind. And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul. There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything still turns to gold. And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last. When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll. And she's buying the stairway to heaven.
«Since I've Been Loving You»Working from seven to eleven every night, It really makes life a drag, I don't think that's right. I've really, really been the best of fools, I did what I could. 'Cause I love you, baby, How I love you, darling, How I love you, baby, How I love you, girl, little girl. But baby, Since I've Been Loving You. I'm about to lose my worried mind, oh, yeah. Everybody trying to tell me 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 every night, I said It kinda makes my life a drag. Lord, that ain't right... 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. 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 back door man. I've been working from seven, seven, seven, to eleven every night, It kinda makes my life a drag... Baby, Since I've Been Loving You, I'm about to lose, I'm about lose to my worried mind.
«Out On The Tiles»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. [Chorus]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.
«Four Sticks»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. [Chorus]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, 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]
«Going To California»Spent my days with a woman unkind, Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine. Made up my mind to make a new start, Going To California with an aching in my heart. Someone told me there's a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair. Took my chances on a big jet plane, never let them tell you that they're all the same. The sea was red and the sky was grey, wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today. The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake as the children of the sun began to awake. Seems that the wrath of the Gods Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow; I think I might be sinking. Throw me a line if I reach it in time I'll meet you up there where the path Runs straight and high. To find a queen without a king, They say she plays guitar and cries and sings... la la la Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born. Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams, Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.
«When The Levee Breaks»If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break, [X2]When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay. Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, [X2]Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home, Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well. Don't it make you feel bad When you're tryin' to find your way home, You don't know which way to go? If you're goin' down South They go no work to do, If you don't know about Chicago. Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good, Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good, When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move. All last night sat on the levee and moaned, [X2]Thinkin' about me baby and my happy home. Going, going to Chicago... Going to Chicago... Sorry but I can't take you... Going down... going down now... going down....
«The Battle Of Evermore»Queen of Light took her bow, And then she turned to go,The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom, And walked the night alone.Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.The dark Lord rides in force tonight, And time will tell us all.Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes.Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all.I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley blow,I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow.The apples of the valley hold, The seeds of happiness,The ground is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no.Dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light.The apples turn to brown and black, The tyrant's face is red.Oh war is the common cry, Pick up you swords and fly.The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know.Oh, well, the night is long the beads of time pass slow,Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath,The drums will shake the castle wall, the ring wraiths ride in black, Ride on.Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter than before.No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold.Oh dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back. Bring it back.At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by,With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes.
«That's The Way»I don't know how I'm gonna tell you,I can't play with you no more,I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me,My friend, the girl next door.I can't believe what people saying,You're gonna let your hair hang down,I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long,You're in the darker side of town.And when I'm out I see you walking,Why don't your eyes see me,Could it be you've found another game to play,What did mama say to me.That's the way, oh,That's the way it ought to be,Yeah, yeah, mama sayThat's the way it ought to stay.And yesterday I saw you standing by the river,And weren't those tears that filled your eyes,And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying,Had they got you hypnotized?And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers,But all that lives is born to die.And so I say to you that nothing really matters,And all you do is stand and cry.I don't know what to say about it,When all you ears have turned away,But now's the time to look and look again at what you see,Is that the way it ought to stay?That's the way...That's the way it oughtta beOh don't you know now, mama said..That's the way it's gonna stay, yeah.
«Bron-Y-Aur Stomp»Ah caught you smiling at me, That's the way it should be, Like a leaf is to a tree, so fine. Ah all the good times we had, I sang love songs so glad Always smiling, never sad, so fine. [Chorus]As we walk down the country lanes, I'll be singing a song, Hear me calling your name. Hear the wind within the trees, Telling Mother Nature 'bout you and me. Well if the sun shines so bright, Or on our way it's darkest night The road we choose is always right, so fine. Ah can your love be so strong When so many loves go wrong Will our love go on and on... [Chorus]My, my la de la come on now it ain't too far, Tell your friends all around the world, Ain't no companion like a blue eyed merle. Come on now well let me tell you, What you're missing, missing, 'round them brick walls. So of one thing I am sure, It's a friendship so pure, Angels singing all around my door, so fine. Yeah, ain't but one thing to do Spend my natural life with you, You're the finest dog I knew, so fine. When you're old and your eyes are dim, There ain't no old Shep gonna happen again, We'll still go walking down country lanes, I'll sing the same old songs, Hear me call your name.
«The Rain Song»This is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to know You are the sunlight in my growing - so little warmth I've felt before. It isn't hard to feel me glowing - I watched the fire that grew so low. It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me Keepers of the Gloom. Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune. Ain't so hard to recognize - These things are clear to all from time to time. Talk Talk - I've felt the coldness of my winter I never thought it would ever go. I cursed the gloom that set upon us... But I know that I love you so These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall This is the wonder of devotion - I see the torch we all must hold. This is the mystery of the quotient - Upon us all a little rain must fall.
«Over The Hills And Far Away»Hey lady--you got the love I need Maybe more than enough. Oh Darling... walk a while with me 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...

"Royal Orleans"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 nightNow love gets hot, but fire preceded waterPoor 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.

Achilles' Last Stand"It was an April morning when they told us we should go As I turn to you, you smiled at me How could we say no? With all the fun to have, to live the dreams we always had Oh, the songs to sing, when we at last return again Sending off a glancing kiss, to those who claim they know Below the streets that steam and hiss, The devil's in his hole Oh to sail away, To sandy lands and other days Oh to touch the dream, Hides inside and never seen. Into the sun the south the north, at last the birds have flown The shackles of commitment fell, In pieces on the ground Oh to ride the wind, To tread the air above the din Oh to laugh aloud, Dancing as we fought the crowd To seek the man whose pointing hand, The giant step unfolds With guidance from the curving path, That churns up into stone If one bell should ring, in celebration for a king So fast the heart should beat, As proud the head with heavy feet. Days went by when you and I, bathed in eternal summers glow As far away and distant, Our mutual child did grow Oh the sweet refrain, Soothes the soul and calms the pain Oh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again Wandering & wandering, What place to rest the search The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth From the earth... I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way [X2]Oh the mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth.
"Tea For One"How come twenty four hours, Baby sometimes seem to slip into days? Oh twenty-four hours, Baby sometimes seem to slip into days A minute seems like a lifetime, baby when I feel this way Sittin, lookin at the clock, time moves so slow I've been watchin for the hands to move Until I just can't look no more How come twenty four hours, Baby sometimes seems to slip into days? A minute seems like a lifetime, Baby when I feel this way. To sing a song for you, I recall you used to say "Oh baby this one's for we two", Which in the end is you anyway How come twenty four hours, Baby sometimes slip into days? A minute seems like a lifetime, baby when I feel this way. There was a time that I stood tall, In the eyes of other men But by my own choice I left you woman, And now I can't get back again How come twenty-four hours, sometimes slip into days? A minute seems like a lifetime, Baby when I feel this way A minute seems like a lifetime When I feel this way...I feel this way
"Sick Again"From the window of your rented limousine, I saw your pretty blue eyes One day soon you're gonna reach sixteen, Painted lady in the city of lies. Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need, yeah Clutching pages from your teenage dream In the lobby of the Hotel Paradise Through the circus of the L.A. queens. How fast your learn the downhill side Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need,. Lips like cherries and the brow of a queen, Come on, flash it in my eyes Said you dug me since you were thirteen,Then you giggle as you heave and sigh. Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need. Hours, hours, and the moments in between, Oh, baby, I couldn't count the times the fun of comin', oh the pain in leavin', Baby, dry those silver eyes Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need, Ooh, that's right.
"Fool In The Rain"Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining Like a star that can't wait for the night I hate to think I've been blinded baby Why can't I see you tonight? And the warmth of your smile starts a-burnin' And the thrill of your touch gives me fright And I'm shaking so much, really yearning Why don't you show up, make it all right? Yeah, it's all right.

"In The Evening"In the evening, When the day is done I'm looking for a woman, but the girl don't come So don't let her, Play you for a fool She don't show no pity baby, she don't make no rules [Chorus:] Oh, oh, I need your love, I need your love Oh, I need your love, I just got to have So don't you let her, Oh, get under your skin It's only bad luck and trouble, From the day that you begin I hear you crying in the darkness, Don't ask nobody's help Ain't no pockets full of mercy baby, Cause you can only blame yourself [Chorus]Oh it's simple, All the pain that you go through You can turn away from fortune, fortune, Cause that's all that's left to you It's lonely at the bottom, Man, it's dizzy at the top But if you're standing in the middle, Ain't no way you're gonna stop [Chorus]Oh whatever that your days may bring No use hiding in a corner, Cause that won't change a thing If you're dancing in the doldrums, One day soon, it's got to stop, it's got to stop When you're the master of the off-chance, When you don't expect a lot [Chorus]
