I wish I was in the land of cotton. Old times there are not forgotten. Look away, look away, look away to Dixie Land. In Dixie Land where i was born. Early on one frosty morn.
There's a whole lot of people suffering tonight. From the disease of conceit. Whole lot of people struggling tonight. From the disease of conceit. . Come right down the highway.
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed. You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road.. The stage was set, the lights went out all around the old hotel,.
Gonna walk down that dirt road 'til someone will let me ride. Gonna walk down that dirt road 'til someone will let me ride. If i can't find my baby i'm gonna run away and hide.
If I had wings like noah's dove. I'd fly up the river to the one I love. Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well. . If I met your man, who was long and tall.
Fat man lookin' in a blade of steel. Thin man lookin' at his last meal. Hollow man lookin' in a cottonfield. For dignity. . Wise man lookin' in a blade of grass.
They're selling postcards of the hanging. They're painting the passports brown. The beauty parlor is filled with sailors. The circus is in town. . Here comes the blind commissioner.
1. Now There's a man you'll hear about. Most anywhere you go,. And his holdings are in Texas. And his name is Diamond Joe.. . 2. And he carries all his money.
Delia was a gambling girl, gambled all around,. Delia was a gambling girl, she laid her money down.. All the friends I ever had are gone.. . Delia's dear ol' mother took a trip out West,.
When you're sad and when you're lonely. And you haven't got a friend. Just remember that death is not the end. . And all that you held sacred. Falls down and does not mend.
Uttering idle words from a reprobate mind,. Clinging to strange promises, dying on the line,. Never bein' able to separate the good from the bad,. Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it,.
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,.
Oh, the benches were stained with tears and perspiration,. The birdies were flying from tree to tree.. There was little to say, there was no conversation.
I'm old tom moore from the bummer's shore in that good old golden days. they call me a bummer and a ginsot too, but what cares i for praise?. i wander around from town to town just like a roving sign.
Oh, the gentlemen are talking and the midnight moon is on the riverside,. They're drinking up and walking and it is time for me to slide.. I live in another world where life and death are memorized,.
Strange, when you leave me, rain comes down, down, down. When you withdraw from me, towers come tumbling down, down, down. . Here comes the sound that I've been waiting for.
How can you say. that your not responsible?. What does it have to do with me?. What is my reaction?. What should it be?. Confronted by this latest atrocity.
I've been down so long,. being down don't bother me. . I've been down so long,. being down don't bother me. I'm gonna take all my troubles,. drown 'em in the deep blue sea.
Young teacher the subject. Of schoolgirl fantasy. She wants him so badly. Knows what she wants to be. Inside her there's longing. This girl's an open page.
I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date. I'm in a cold sweat, I panic, and it makes me late. I knew you never asked for this. I know.
