Dear landlord,. Please don't put a price on my soul.. My burden is heavy,. My dreams are beyond control.. When that steamboat whistle blows,. I'm gonna give you all I got to give,.
Crash on the levee, mama,. Water's gonna overflow,. Swamp's gonna rise,. No boat's gonna row.. Now, you can train on down. To Williams Point,. You can bust your feet,.
Love, oh don't we know. How can the river flow without you. Warming like the sand upon the land. How can we doubt you?. . Dark to me the night. And dim the morning light.
Morning shone among the shadows,. Sunlight bled upon the silence,. From the blackest night. Must come the morning sky.. . But yesterday was such a long time,.
Come all ye rolling minstrels. And together, we will try. To rouse the spirit of the earth. And move the rolling sky. . Those that dance, will start to dance.
Missed the morning too, didn't rise before noon.. She's a lazy lady today.. Always yawning, you with your eyes on the moon.. You're a crazy lady I'd say, da da da..
Within the fire and out upon the sea,. Crazy Man Michael was walking.. He met with a raven with eyes black as coals,. And shortly they were a-talking.
I know you're the wayward kind. The way you always drag behind. Show me a horse and I'll feed it hay. Show me the cart and I'll throw it away. Prettiest face I've ever seen.
Goodbye Norma Jean. Though I never knew you at all. You had the grace to hold yourself. While those around you crawled. They crawled out of the woodwork.
The Summertime's escaping, and the carnival's away,. And the sunshine is awaiting for another sunny day.. Breakers whisper to the shells upon the shore,.
Baby, every cloud has a silver lining. Baby every dog really has his day. And it matters to me to see you smiling. Why don't we blow all your cares away ?.
Baby that preacher gave you spring. In the window with his finger in the undertaker's wing. . Chorus. Oh, cajun woman. Some people still call you a queen.
Time stood dark and silent and the stars they gave no light. I wandered in an endless dream, haunted by the night. I saw four ghostly riders, the horses in a line.
In bruton town there lived a noble man. He had two sons and a daughter fair. By night and day they were contriving. For to fill their sister's heart with care.
If she knew what I've seen while I'm watching. Would she know where to smile, what to say?. When she leaves from her book to be with me. Where's her mind as she stands while I play?.
A box full of treasure and a golden comb. I was surely give to you when the moon is [young? ]. And christmas is in june.. . I will paint an evening of which there will be few,.
Come all you gallant bushrangers who gallop o'er the plains. Refuse to live in slavery, or wear the convict chains.. Attention pay to what I say, and value if I do.
Travelin' down that coaltown road,. Listen to my rubber tires whine;. Goodbye to buckeye and white sycamore,. I'm leavin' you behind.. I've been a coal miner all my life.
Lyrics (sandy denny version). . Catch a boat to england baby. Maybe to spain. Whereever I have gone. Whereever I've been and gone. Whereever I have gone.
One evening fair I took the air. Down by Blackwaterside. 'Twas gazing all around me. When the Irish lad I spied. . All through the first part of that night.
