The Gringo's Tale

Beggin your pardon there stranger. You look like youre new to this town. Were a long way away from the beach here. You wont see many gringos around. Well I come from West Colorado.

The Graveyard Shift

I work the graveyard shift - stay up all night long. You'll wake up someday. And find your good gal gone. If you don't treat your baby right. She'll come see me.

The Galway Girl

Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk. Of a day -I-ay-I-ay. I met a little girl and we stopped to talk. Of a fine soft day -I-ay. And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do.

The Boy Who Never Cried

Long ago and far away. In a land no map can find. There lived in long forgotten days. A boy who never cried. He was his mother's only child. So she never wondered why.

Texas Eagle

My Grandaddy was a railroad man. When I was young he took me by the hand. Dragged me to the station at the break of dawn. Said "boy I got to show you somethin' 'fore it's gone".

Tecumseh Valley

The name she gave was Caroline. The daughter of a miner. And her ways were free and it seemed to me. The sunshine walked beside her. She come from Spencer 'coss the hill.

Steve's Last Ramble

I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin' round. Hangin' up my highway shoes. Lately when I walk they make a hollow sound. And they carry me away from you.

State Trooper

New Jersey Turnpike ridin' on a wet night. 'neath the refinery's glow, out where the great black rivers flow. License, registration, I ain't got none, but I got a clear conscience.

Sometimes She Forgets

If you see her out tonight. And she tells you it's just the lights. That bring her here and not her loneliness. That's what she says but sometimes she forgets.

Someday

There ain't a lot that you can do in this town. You drive down to the lake and then you turn back around. You go to school and you learn to read and write.

Shadowland

Way out yonder, where the wild wind blows. There's a place there lonely fools can go. Where if you hold your money, it'll burn your hand. So you buy you a ticket to the shadowland.

Rivers Of Babylon

By the rivers of Babylon. Where he sat down. And there he wept. When he remember Zion. . It was the wicked. . CHORUS. Carry us away captivity. Require from us a song.

Rich Man's War

Jimmy joined the army cause he had no place to go. There aint nobody hirin. round here since all the jobs went. down to Mexico. Reckoned that hed learn himself a trade maybe see the world.

Pilgrim

I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys. This ain't never been my home. Sometimes the road was rocky long the way, boys. But I was never travelin' alone.

Over Yonder (jonathan's Song)

The warden said he'd mail my letter. The chaplain's waitin' by the door. Tonight we'll cross the yard together. Then they can't hurt me anymore.. . I am going over yonder.

Outlaw's Honeymoon

Come on pretty baby won't you take me by the hand. I thought maybe that I could be your man. And for a while we could go in style. Come on we're goin' on an outlaw's honeymoon.

Nothin' Without You

I'm the keeper of your heart. I keep the flame when we're apart. I'm the lover in your arms. Or a baby soft and warm. I'm a hero in your eyes. I'm a comfort when you cry.

Northern Winds (instrumental)

Mystery Train Part Ii

There's a train a comin'. There's a train a comin. Hear them tracks a hummin'. There's a train a comin'. Can't you hear her blowin'. Can't you hear her blowin'.

My Old Friend The Blues

Just when every ray of hope was gone. I should have known that you would come along. I can't believe I ever doubted you. My old friend the blues. Another lonely night, a nameless town.
