There's more to me then these old shoes I got on. I might look a little green. but girl I'm gunna take you there. gotta fake a smile sometimes. but the truth is in my eyes.
Daddy always told me no you'll never grow that tree,. Said sit down in that chair right there and watch me and you'll see,. Despite my best efforts, no I haven't grown that tree,.
When it's sugarcane time. Long around about June. I'll be walkin' with sugar. 'Neath that old sugar moon. . Gonna drop her a line. To expect me soon. Saccharine and some sugar.
Busted flat in Baton Rouge. Waitin' for the train. Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans. Bobby thumbed a diesel down. Just before it rained. Rode us all the way to New Orleans.
Oh say, little dogies, why don't you lay down?. You've wandered and trampled all over the ground.. Lay down, little dogies, lay down.. . I have cross-herded, trail-herded, circle-herded too.
I hear the train a-comin', it's rollin round the bend. And I ain't seen the sunshine since...I don't know when. I'm stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps dragging on.
I went down to the railroad yard, watch that train come by,. Knew the train would roll that day, but I did not know what time.. . I did not know what time, boys, did not know what time..
Why do I do just as you say?. Why must I just give you your way?. Why do I sigh?. Why do I try to forget?. . It must have been that something lovers call "Fate".
Today I passed you on the street and my heart fell at your feet. I can't help it if I'm still in love with you. Somebody else stood by your side and he looked so satisfied.
It's Your World and your smile turns on my sunshine. You have all the power it takes to make me blue. You control the way I feel both day and night time.
I said hello to the man that tried to win your hand. A long time ago.. I tried to smile as he talked of the days. When he was your beau,. But I could see he was a-shamin' me.
Oh my name it is nothin'. My age it means less. The country I come from. Is called the Midwest. I's taught and brought up there. The laws to abide. And that land that I live in.
In bed with my woman, just singin' the blues,. Heard the radio tellin' the news:. That the big Red Army took a hundred towns,. And Allies droppin' them two-ton bombs..
Two men rode in from the south, a rainy autumn night. The Sky above and the mud below. They walked into the Deacon's bar, they were Mexican by sight. The sky above and the mud below.
In bed with my woman, just singin' the blues,. Heard the radio tellin' the news:. That the big Red Army took a hundred towns,. And Allies droppin' them two-ton bombs..
My name is Juanano de Castro. My father was a Spanish Grandee. But I won my wife in a card game. To hell with those lords o'er the sea. . Well the South Coast is wild coast and lonely.
It was down in Old Joe's barroom,. On the corner by the square,. The usual crowd was assembled. And big Joe McKinney was there.. . He was standing at my shoulder..
[Chorus:]. Ride the blue wind high and free. She'll lead you down through misery. Leave you low, come time to go. Alone and low as low can be. . If I had a nickel I'd find a game.
When evening chores are over at the ranch house on the plains. And there's nothing left to do but lay around. I saddle up my pony and go riding down the trail.
Busted flat in Baton Rouge. Waitin' for the train. Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans. Bobby thumbed a diesel down. Just before it rained. Rode us all the way to New Orleans.
