It's three a.m. or after and I'm still awake. I thought I'd soon forget you when you went away. I wonder how much longer a man can live this way. It's three a.m. or after and I'm still awake.
Where'd you get that dress?. Where'd you learn to walk like that?. Don't talk back, tell me where you've been. Maybe I don't want to know oh, Lord why me?.
Angray words were spoken and I left my baby in a cloud of gloom. Got into my car and drove around until I spurted this saloon. Came inside and bought a drink then I saw you and felt a burning glow.
The Japany's moon is bright tonight and Tokio is full of life. Busy people everywhere but busy people just don't care. I wanna go stateside oh Lord I wanna go stateside.
I met you and we married we planned our future well. Built our home on happiness then suddenly it fell. It wasn't long there after our love began to tilt.
At first when I heard of some people who say that old time religion is real. I said I'll go down take a look at the crowd for it's just a weak mind that I feel.
Mama died when I was born last July daddy took to drinking long before he died. Grandma kept me up until her passing somebody's always leaving. I've met Betty Jo at school for orphans in those two years we saw each other often.
One day the train was passin' I caught it crawlin' by. To look this old world over under God's blue sky. My darling stood there weeping as I was looking back.
As I sit at this bar and drink it over thoughts of you keep running through my mind. So I build myself a ship inside this bottle sail away leave all my blues behind.
That face in the mirror across the bar from me. Keeps staring back as if to say is this where you should be. But drinking helps forget her though I won't forget her long.
On a long lonesome journey I am going oh my sweet little darling don't cry. For in shackles and chains they will take me to a prison to live till I die.
I'm always second choice I'm never first with you. Oh how it hurts to see you out with someone new. But I'll wait around while you play around and have your fun.
Oh Lord I'm just a poor man but I've worked like a slave. I may not know what please me until I'm in my grave. I've lived without a lot of things I've only got one plea.
In a crowded honky tonk music starts to play. Happy couples all around dance the night away. At a table in a corner I sit all alone. Every song's the sad one since my baby's gone.
====================. You come into this country. You cant get real jobs. Boats, and boats, and boats of you. Go home you fuckin slobs. Sellin hot dogs on the corner.
Ruthless and vicious, he'll stomp on your face. Deadly, malicious, stay outta his space. He'll rip your eyes out, don't you look the wrong way. And once you meet him, there's no time to pray.
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see thee. Away, you rollin' river. Oh, Shenandoah, i long to see. Away, I'm bound to go. Across the wide Missouri. . Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter.
Stand up for me, and we'll stand together.. I'm the sky above you, and I love you, every one.. . Stand up for me, for your great grandmother,. for your father, brother, and each other, and everyone..
Someone is calling her shorewards. Much like horses. Raising dogs will sing to me. Hold back the tears in my comfort. We move forwards. In these pauses the storm corrodes.
Slip!. Let me talk to you for a minute. I'm like, baby. Where did your love go. You say that I got it but it's so damn hard to believe, yeah. I said, baby.
