No more time to tell how
This is the season of what
Now is the time of returning
With our thought jewels polished and gleaming
No more time to tell how
This is the season of what
Now is the time of returning
With our thought jewels polished and gleaming
Fire, fire on the mountain
Fire, fire on the mountain
Fire, fire on the mountain
Fire, fire on the mountain
Wind inside and the wind outside
Tangled in the window blind
Tell me why you treat me so unkind
Down where the sun don't shine
Lonely and I call your name
No place left to go, ain't that a shame?
Well I followed her to St Louis later on down the river
A freighter says she's been here, but she's gone, boy, she's gone
Well I found her trail in Memphis but she just walked up the bluff
Raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone
Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble,
Ancient footprints are everywhere.
Well you can almost think that you're seein' double
On a cold dark night on the Spanish Stairs.
Well, can't you see that you're killing each other's soul
Well, you're both out in the streets and you got no place to go
Your constant battes are getting to be a bore
So go somewhere else and continue your cream puff war
Oh I come to you a ragged laughing stranger
And you come to me an angel of the night
So all dance and we will sing, for it doesn't mean a thing
To remember that the only time is now
November and more, as I wait for the score,
They're telling me forgiveness is the key to every door.
A slow winder day a night like forever,
Sink like a stone, float like a feather.
Never know now, just don't never know, no.
Well it's been heaven, but even the rainbows will end.
Now my sails are fillin' and the wind is willin'.
And I'm as good as gone again.
I say row Jimmy row, gonna get there, I don't know
Seems a common way to go, get out and row, row, row, row, row.
There comes a redeemer, and he slowly too fades away,
And there follows his wagon behind him that's loaded with clay.
And the seeds that were silent all burst into bloom, and decay,
and night comes so quiet, it's close on the heels of the day.
They love each other, Lord you can see that it's true,
Lord you can see that it's true, Lord you can see that it's true.
Come on boys and wager if you have got the mind,
If you've got a dollar boys, lay it on the line,
Hand me my old guitar, pass the whiskey round,
Won't you tell everybody you meet that the Candyman's in town.
Me and my uncle went riding down
South Colorado, West Texas bound
We stopped over in Santa Fe
That being the point just about half way
And you know it was the hottest part of the day
Going home, going home
By the waterside I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul
Happy home
Happy home
Happy home
Happy home
Happy home
Happy home
That's where I'm gonna make my happy home
Delia went a-walking down on Singapore Street
A three-piece band on the corner played "Nearer My God to Thee"
But Delia whistled a different tune, what tune could it be?
The song that woman sang was "Look Out Stagger Lee".
The song that Delia sang was "Look Out Stagger Lee".
Well I'm a wanted man in Texas, busted jail and I'm gone for good
Well I'm a wanted man in Texas, busted jail and I'm gone for good
Well the sheriff couldn't catch me
But his little girl sure wished she would
Since I'm passing your way today
Well, well, well, you can never tell
I just stopped in 'cause I want to say
Well, well, well, you can never tell
I recall your darkness
When it crackled like a thunder cloud
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
I can hear it beat out loud
Been walking all morning
Went walking all night
I can't see much difference
Between the dark and light
And I feel the wind
And I taste the rain
Never in my mind
To cause so much pain
Baby baby's gonna lose her sweet man,
Dupree come out with a losing hand,
Baby's gonna weep it up for a while,
Then go out and find another sweet man gonna treat her with style.
I need a West L.A. girl, already know what I need to know
I need a West L.A. girl, already know what I need to know
Lord, just how far to go.
Annie laid her head down in the roses.
She had ribbons, ribbons, ribbons, in her long brown hair.
I don't know, maybe it was the roses,
All I know I could not leave her there.
From the coal mines of Kentucky
To the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standing right beside me, Lord
Through everything I done
Bobby's body kept me from the cold
The bottles stand as empty now, as they were filled before
Time there was and plenty, but from that cup no more
Though I could not caution all, I still might warn a few
Don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools
Operator, can you help me
Help me if you please
Give me the right area code
And the number that I need
My rider left upon the midnight flyer
Singing like a summer breeze
The girl I love, she's sweet and true,
You know the dress she wears, sweet mama, it's pink and blue,
She brings me coffee, you know she brings me tea,
She brings me 'bout every damm thing but the jailhouse key.
Everywhere I go, the people all know
Everyone's doin' that rag.
Everywhere I go, the people all know
Everyone's doin' that rag.
Run, run, run for the roses
Sooner it opens, the quicker it closes
Man, oh, man, oh friend of mine
All good things in all good time
All good things in all good time
Never had such a good time
In my life before
I'd like to have it one time more
One good ride from start to end
I'd like to take that ride again
