Goodnight Irene

Sometime I live the country. Sometime I live in town. Sometime I have a grave notion. To jump into the river and drown. . Quit your ramblin' quit your gamblin'.

Gold Tooth

The air is turning cold outside. It's a rabbi in a brothel for the third time. The gold tooth of a broken man. A white glove in a purse down at the bottom of the sea.

Go There

I could hear them singing like they are gonna fall out. Raising hands and hoping,. singing, bringing in the sheets soldiers marching by. I want to go there when I die.

Footprints

Skip across the dust. In the corner of my room, yeah. While the walls pull away. . And keep my hiding spirit shuffling, oh. And keep my hiding spirit shuffling, oh boy.

Fleashine

Fleashine, shoeshine, man of fifteen. Brings the house in with a smile. All twelve teeth tell myriad stories. One upon one and one. . The breath in his hand waving.

Flash Cards

Bouncin' across the lake of ten years. Like a stone tossed from the burglar's hand. Holdin' my breath, then I'm sinkin'. Waves in circle like a memory slowly fade away, slowly fade.

Fare Thee Well

Fare Thee Well. . (traditional). . You told me on the phone. That you don't have no man at all. Fare thee well. Babe fare thee well. You just told me on the phone.

Doxology

Dock Boggs Country Blues

come all you good time people. while I've got money to spend. tomorrow might be monday. and I never have a dollar nor a friend. . when I had plenty of money, good people.

Cypress Grove

I'd rather be buried way down in some cypress grove. I'd rather be buried way down in some cypress grove. To have me a woman that I can't control. . Your knee-bone gon' aching and your body sure getting cold.

Circle Wars

The sidewalk coughed up weeds and cracks. A book, a magazine and a penny and a dime. Oh, and Carl looked behind him making sure the scene was empty. Breathed a sigh of bewilderment noting that it was.

Cardboard Box Of Batteries

Make a dent in the shovel, run the mud through a sieve. Paste your hopes on a windmill blade, plant it up on the hill. Pencil sharpened with a putty knife, pretty girl as a pretty nun.

Capman Bootman

baseball cap and flannel arms. dancing with a voodoo doll. sweat rolls down the old guitar. seeing things the way they are. a crooked look lay on his brow.

Untouchable

Life, Life is a crazy game. How many times you felt alone. Stuck on the ground like nobody can help you. They are people we meet. They are people we leave.

You Can't Break My Heart

What good does true love do?. Why'd I fall in love with you?. You can break a promise but. You can't break my heart.. . If I can't change your mind.. You go your way and I'll go mine..

What Else Can I Do?

What else can I do. but to sit and think of you. and how love walked through that door. and moved boldly 'cross the floor. but love's not here anymore.

Till We Start To Kiss

How I thought I knew you well. Little difference I can tell is. Something all along that I have missed. . Never stood so near before. Never been quite here before and it.

This Was The One

It wasn't planned. Taking her hand to cross the street. Was as natural a thing as he'd ever done. He knew, what had begun. . This was the one. This was the one.

Rainy Day Woman

You string me along.. My friends say it wrong.. They tell me I'm crazy.. I'm reading the cards and asking the stars.. The outlook is hazy.. Oh, never mind the weather..

One Fine Day

One fine day you'll look at me. And you will know our love was meant to be. One fine day you're gonna want me for your girl. . These arms I long for will open wide.
