We met in the springtime when the blossoms unfold
The pasture's green and the meadow gold
Our love was in flower as the summer grew on
Her love like the leaves have all withered and gone

Roses have faded and there's frost at my door
The bird of the morning won't sing anymore
The grass in the valley has started to die

I've grown tired, of the words of the single man
Hangin' lifeless on his every word -- o man
You don't understand dear man
The little angel held out her hand
Sayin' father, father I love you
O praise jesus I got her

Ok yeah billygoat an we'll play farm

(Creedence Clearwater Revival)

I see a bad moon rising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightning
I see bad times today

Chorus:

No man ever seen the face of his foe no
He ain't made of flesh n bone
He's the one who sits up close beside you
An when he is there you're alone

Every man is evil yes every man is a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongues sing
In the black soul choir

I changed my mind
And looked no better
Hard of hart blind blind to his higher art
My frustration
My anger in disguise i slip under
I slip under quiet
He spots me anyhow
Chalk up my name

listen closely to me now my darlin' girl
there's one who's out to have you
an jus' his breath will burn your curls
don't you fret you needn't bother
don't you fret no here comes the father yet

mmmmm , alright!

lovely lovely carol sue
i see the heel of the father
crush the head of the serpent for you
an' that beast who found
his way up to your room
you know the one the one
who's colors are never true
yeah you do

Hey mister with your iron feet yeah
Never waver from your path
You think you got a way with somethin' boy
Well, see his hand an' feel his staff

Hey you got a way with words alright yeah
An' quite a way with the ladies
Your thoughts are troubled

Just as sure as that suns gonna shine
When he comes at his table I will dine
Just as sure as that dog's gonna whine
In my heart no longer will I pine
Just as sure as by evil you are torn
The sky will open up an an angel blow his horn
an down come Jesus lookin' so fine
Just as sure as that girl she is mine....

The devil's brand is on my bones
An from inside the holy ghost groans
Sure as shootin' the undertaker knows
He lays the headstones in endless rows

Ye one an all we croak like a raven
It's the dead an the dyin' we're cravin'
Ye one an all

I can see clearly from my diamond eyes
I'm going to the mountain with a fire spirit
No one will accept all of me, so the fire will stop

And for the straights that got fire cars
I'm going to the mountain with a fire spirit
No one will take all of me, and the fire will stop

Word by word
She spoke to me
Hidden neath a mess of bygone linnen
She listens as to dry a thousand tongues
My love is thin and thinning
Some cherised flower
Flutters through
Gentleborn beloved you

I surely knew it was a trap ye
Yet my hands they would not listen
I shoulda known your word was flap
Comin' out all sweet an drippin'
O so where could I go yes but to the lord
I been to your house an' see what you adore
I left there stiff stiff as a board
Where could I go but to the lord

Fire is the color of my true love's hair
Near to the father sits his golden chair
By prayer and petition to the king on his left
Light is the burden that i bear

O so enchanting are these
Lovely chains that bind you
Beneath their deadly weight

07. Harm's Way

There ain't nothin' that ain't in my way
An like the fool I am for my own gain I pray
You say you found, a way back inside my closet

Don't let your mind do all your walking
Boy you'll stumble every time
That road I seen the devil stalking
Dealin' only with the dyin'

G'on let the door hitem
where my hound dog shoulda bittem
Leave him open, leave em there

09. Heel on the Shovel

i'm diggin' you a shallow grave
an to the sun your face i'll raise
i'm diggin' you a shallow grave

Come to my house an we'll pick bones
Their hands outside ready with stones
Come to my yard
I got whiskey an' chairs
We'll hang on the porch
As the good men stare

You ain't never spoke true

I look for him in everywhere
In everywhere I found him not
Exhausted I sleep in steppe

In the dream my gray horse spoke to me
Find me neath the killing cliff
Find me neath the killing cliff

On from here walkin dreams awake
I think not I think not
The sky comes king blown in every direction
And of no country
I am straw

It is no mystery
I know my way from here

01. I Seen What I Saw

I seen ya in your red room laughin'
With your shinin' coffee can
So many wrongs all kinds a goins on

Little Johanna, girl of my prairie
Help me fill this house with living words
Further up and further in, let 'em fly from our lips
Just like birds, just like birds

All that dark woods from Pakistan
The glory, the glory lodged inside
Strive to enter the narrow gate child

Trim your dress, trim your dress
Trim your dress in the parasol style

If you have hips, if you have hips
Trim your dress in the parasol style

Trim your dress, trim your dress
Trim your dress in the parasol style

To Hell with boys creepin' up slowly
Swingin' them shovels 'round
Diggin' up words of pleasure
From evil hollow ground

O - an here's one now girl
The devil is in his eye
You'd better start stirring up soil boy

wicked, wicked
from the mouth i spout - o lord
don' let these thoughts come out
my knees they knock and my feet they fail
the thoughts i think i see your face turn pale
take my hand an' you will see - the one in the wayback
take my hand an' you will be the one atop the swayback
your word so pretty

early one days morning
i came upon a fine young horse
i mounted up and led him onward
he was gray as the sky above

i slept down by the river
and what a sad dream i had
i´m afraid my love

The chill of Coffeeville, she's in those hills still
Kindness of her face so white
The chill of Coffeeville, Lord, pray it be Your will
That she dwell in Your house tonight

As one with spirit, yes, she goes where it goes
What my little girl sees from the sill, nobody knows
As one with spirit, yeah, she goes where it leads

Is anything as lovely to me
As the truth in love
I'll take it over freedom any day
It brings me ever an' this time to my knees
An' on my knees i run away

Yes i know your sticks and stones they
They will easily break these bones an'

well hey i been down that a way
with a dream on my arm
yet me an' my love we could not stay
we heard voices of children
an' by little hands were led astray

all the boughs bend for us
all the earth awaits thee

12. Prison Shoe Romp

are ya listenin' boy the man he hung see
you've heard it said that's what he done for me
did ya hear that girl -- the man he calls your name

Are you weary my friends of me comin' 'round
Draggin' my chains 'cross your floor
You once had a stained glass look in your eye
Well, not any more

The train moves fast as I walk this track
Carryin' sin in my sack
Same in the front as it is in the rear

I'm a rompin' dead boy
On a long road
What opened up my eyes to this
I'm just trying to keep 'em closed

Hey, feller what ya got in that sac
Is it somethin' for me?
A little knowin' is a dangerous thing boy

04. Scrawled in Sap

o the sky grey orange
an the walls stained blue
an i laid right down on the golden satin with you

I see the world through the eyes of an idiot
Talkin' big white trash
Before the girls an boys inside of my soul
They make my path
In the mirror there I see my father's face in glass
I know I am not anyone yet too afraid to ask

I will pawn you my watch

tonight you've caught your breath
you've lost your american spirit
if only i could catch my death yeah
jus' give me long enough to fear it

her talk ain't like the other girls
she takes my livin' at a glance
we hear the locust's rasp back and forth

Self sent a twister
A tearin' after me
Gonna bust my house to splinters yes
An' take all that's dear to me

You say you saw it comin' yeah
But still you did not flee
I was too weak i couldn't move

i guess you didn't hear me
when i told you for the first time
well don't you worry
it won't be the last
all i need a floorboard
an' a wooden shoe
step aside an' let my lady through

the strong man he will kneel down
whalst angels strip him of cloak and crown
through bitter lips come vile breath
he is the last one to confess
there will be no pity for him
we must kill him where he stands
no there will be no mercy for him
nor for any of his klan

See my love cut down the lane
Sways and grinds ooh, that's your play
Ya treat me like your prayers
Though i'm alone
Yer drivin' me to pray, "trouble" i'm undone
Hold me up
Will ye be my doll?
Hold me up

When they poured across the border
I was cautioned to surrender,
this I could not do;
I took my gun and vanished.

I have changed my name so often,
I've lost my wife and children
but I have many friends,

'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world below
There is no sickness, no toil, nor danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to see my Father
And all my loved ones who've gone on
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
