Why is this window so dirty and gray?. I cant see you through it anymore. It may be the smoke, its hard to say. The fact is this place has too many doors.
Hey, the dusty Miller,. And his dusty coat,. He will win a shilling,. Or he win a groat. Dusty was the coat,. Dusty was the colour,. Dusty was the kiss.
Out on the perilous deep. Where dangers silently creep. And storms so violently sweep. You're drifting to far from the shore. . Drifting too far from the shore (from the shore).
Down in the willow garden where me and my love did meet. There we sat a-courting my love fell off to sleep. I had a bottle of burgundy wine which my true love did not know.
In the shadow of the pines. Lives a girl and I know that she is mine. Life's worth livin' any time. Down in Caroline.. . It's no matter where I roam. she'll be waitin' there I know.

Put on your best new dress,. And let your hair hand down. Leave behind that kitchen mess,. We're going out on the town. I'll put my new boots on,. Brush off my hat.
What goes on in your mind. Don't say I'm the jealous kind. Think of all the promises we made now. You might find another girl. Living in your different world.
All of the day, all of the night. You do the things that make me feel so right. My shining star, my guiding light. (My shining light). And that's the day and night, babe.
The younger kids are sleeping. Mama's working nights. You are heavy on my mind. So I just thought I'd write. . Money's hard to come by. Outside of that we're fine.
Down in the Willow garden. Where me and my love did meet. As we sat a-courtin'. My love fell off to sleep. I had a bottle of Burgundy wine. My love she did not know.
Oh, what a crazy party,. All the gang's here too,. The beat is really jumping,. Like a kangaroo,. I'm full of soda and potato chips,. But now I wanna get a taste,.
Down at the cross where my Saviour died,. down where for cleansing from sin I cried,. There to my heart was the blood applied;. Glory to His name!. Chorus:.
The real people went away. But I'll find a better word, someday. Leaving only me and my dreams. My cattle and a resonator. I drove all the beast down right under your nose.
