You have a heart and I have a key. Lie back and let me unlock you. Those heathens you hang with down by the sea. All they want to do is defrock you. .
I'm back in the saddle again. Out where a friend is a friend. Where the long horn cattle feed. On the lonely jimson weed. . Back in the saddle again. I'm riding the range once more.
Who has dressed you in strange clothes of sand?. Who has taken you far from my land?. Who has said that my sayings were wrong?. And who will say that I stayed much too long?.
The captains fore-arm like bunched-up rope. With A-N-I-T-A wrigglin' free on a skull 'n dagger. And a portrait of Christ, nailed to an anchor. Etched into his upper.
Anthony, Anthony. Oh, he said. He can't love me. But I think he can. . Yes, I think he can. And I told him that. Just before he ran. Just before he ran.
By the time I get to Phoenix he'll be risin'. He'll find the note I left hangin' on his door. And he'll laugh when he reads the part that says I'm leavin'.
I could have done better things. If someone shut my mouth. Or somebody clipped my wings. So many wasted evenings. Talking the same sweet talk. Always the last ones leaving.
Brother, my cup is empty. And I haven't got a penny. For to buy no more whiskey. I have to go home. . Oh brother, my cup is empty. And I haven't got a penny.
It's time to bid this whole world goodbye. Oh, glory, time to fly away. We'll meet our savior in the sky. Hallelujah, the 21st of May. . Sinner, heed these words of mine.
Up those stone steps I climb. Hail this joyful day's return. Into its great shadowed vault I go. Hail the Pentecostal morn. . The reading is from Luke 24.
Catch a boat to England, baby, maybe to Spain. Wherever I have gone, wherever I've been and gone. Wherever I have gone, the blues I'd to sing. . Go bring me whiskey, baby, go bring me gin.
This garden that I built for you. That you sit in now and yearn. I will never leave it, dear. I could not bear to return. And find it all untended. With the trees all bended low.
Snow in springtime, storm in the sea. Mist at my window, no leaf on my tree. Showers in the garden with no flowers to touch. When will you bring us your sunshine and such..
Black days of winter all were through. The blossoms came and they brought you. Clouds left the sky. And I knew the reason why. They made way for you and the blossom..
It's up in the morning it's on the downs. And little white clouds like gamboling lambs. And I am breathless over you. And the red-breasted robin beats his wings.
Blundertown is drowned in no brainstorm. smothered in mud at the foot of the river. the color vague is slapped around stupid. blood dries to a very dull color.
Old black mountain. Tried to spit in your face. Old black mountain. Tried to spit in your face. Baby's grubbing whiskey. Oh, she's practicing. . Old black mountain.
A black eyed dog he called at my door. The black eyed dog he called for more. A black eyed dog he knew my name. A black eyed dog he knew my name. The black eyed dog, a black eyed dog.
I got a blue bird. A blue bird on my shoulder. I got a blue bird. A blue bird on my shoulder. . I saw her standing. Standing by the water. She was naked.
