The first I remember knowin'. Was that lonesome whistle blowin'. And a youngin's dream. Of growin' up to ride. . On a freight train leavin' town. Not knowin' where I was bound.
Compass card is spinning. Helm is swinging to and fro. Oh, where is the dog star. Oh, where's the moon. . You're a lost sailor. You've been too long at sea.
Went down last night to take a look around. Met little Sadie and I blew her down. Went right home, went to bed. Forty-four colt smokes under my head. .
Awoke today, felt your side of the bed;. The covers were still warm where you been layin'.. You were gone, oh gone, my heart was filled with dread;. You might not be sleeping here again..
Loose Lucy is my delight. She comes running and we ball all night. Round and round and round and round. Don't take much to get me on the ground. She's my yo-yo, I'm her string.
If I had a gun for every ace I have drawn. I could arm a town the size of Abilene. Don't you push me baby, because I'm moaning low. And you know I'm only in it for the gold.
I'm a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for days. Just a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for days. Keep everything in the barnyard people, upset in every way.
Gonna hop in the hack, then turn on the key. Pop in the clutch, let the wheels roll free. Not a cloud in the sky, such a sunny day. Push in the button, let the top ten play.
Saw a bird with a tear in his eye. Walking to New Orleans, my, my, my. Hey, now, Bird, wouldn't you rather die. than walk this world when you're born to fly?.
Lazy lightnin' sleepy fire in your eyes it's like desire in disguise. I keep on tryin' but I, I can't get through. Lazy lightnin' I'd like to find the proper potion.
Way down upon Sycamore Slough. White man sings the blues. Selling roses of paper mache. And flecks of starlight dew. . Swiped a bunch and threw them your way.
Morning comes, she follows the path to the river shore,. Lightly sung, her song is the latch on the morning's door.. See the sun sparkle in the reeds, silver beads, pass into the sea..
Lazy lightnin' sleepy fire in your eyes it's like desire in disguise. I keep on tryin' but I, I can't get through. Lazy lightnin' I'd like to find the proper potion.
I'm a king bee buzzing around your hive. Now I'm a king bee darling buzzing around your hive. Yeah, I can make some honey babe if you let me fly up inside.
Mama take this badge from me. I can't use it anymore. It's gettin' dark, too dark to see. Feels like I'm knockin' on Heaven's door. . Knock knock knockin' on Heaven's door.
Well you know Katie Mae is a good girl. Folks say she don't run around at night. I made a mistake and she don't run around at night. Yes, you can bet your last dollar Katie Mae will treat you right..
Some folks trust to reason, others trust to might. I don't trust to nothing, but I know it come out right. Say it once again now, whoa I hope you'll understand.
If I had a gun for every ace I have drawn,. I could arm a town the size of Abilene. Don't you push me baby,. 'Cause I'm all alone and you know I'm only in it for the gold.
Well, there ain't nobody safer than someone who doesn't care.. And it isn't even lonely when no one's ever there.. I had a lot of dreams once, but some of them came true,.
