- A Song For You
i've been so many places
in my life and times
i've sung alot of songs
i've made some bad rhymes
i've acted out my love on stages
with ten thousand people watching
but we're alone now
- Crystal Closet Queen
This songs dedicated to the undiluted queen of rock and roll,
And she knows who she is.
Left my home down in the heart of Georgia
Headed out to Hollywood.
All I took with me was my healing music,
Preaching every step that I could.
You ain't heard my rock and roll music,
- Delta Lady
Woman of the country
Now, I found you
Longing in your soft
And fertile delta
And I whisper sighs
To satisfy your longing
For the warm and tender
- Hummingbird
Sometimes I get impatient
But she cools me without words
And she comes so sweet and softly
My hummingbird and have you heard
That I thought my life had ended
But I find that it's just begun
Cause she gets me where I live
I'll give all I have to give
- I Put A Spell On You
1, 2, 1, 2, 3
1, 2, 1, 2
I put a spell on you (I put a spell on you)
I put a spell on you (I put a spell on you)
I put a spell on you (I put a spell on you)
I put a spell on you (I put a spell on you)
- Magic Mirror
I'm standing by the highway
Suitcase by my side
There's no place I want to go
I just thought I'd catch a ride
Many people look my way
And many pass me by
In moments of reflection
- Of Thee I Sing
Hung up in a Pennsylvania mining town
Got down to Boston in time for tea
Don't know exactly just what's going down
Better hang around until I see.
She uses beauty like a knife
She cuts me even more, she changes
Right before my eyes into something ugly and sore.
- Queen Of The Roller Derby
Gonna tell you a story that you wont believe
But I fell in love last Friday evenin'
With a girl I saw on a bar room TV screen
Well I was just gettin' ready to get my hat
When she caught my eye and I put it back
And I ordered myself a couple o more shots and beers
- Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
I'll lay around this shack
'Til the mail train comes back
An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
I ain't gonna work on the railroad
(You ain't gonna work at all if you can help it)
- Sixteen Tons
Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
- The Ballad Of Hollis Brown
Hollis Brown
He lived on the outside of town
Hollis Brown
He lived on the outside of town
With his wife and five children
And his cabin brokin' down.
You looked for work and money
- Tight Rope
I'm up on the tight wire
One side's ice and one is fire
It's a circus game with you and me
I'm up on the tight rope
One side's hate and one is hope
But the top hat on my head is all you see
And the wire seems to be the only place for me
A comedy of errors and I'm falling
