ONE OF THESE DAYS
One of these days, boys,
gonna see my baby,
Gonna see my baby
comin' down the road.
She'll have my pardon
Pardon in her apron, wo, Lord,
Gonna see the governor
who said, "Release my man."

She's comin' down the road, boy,
she's comin' down the road,
Red dress on, yeah,
she's got her red dress on.
She's comin' down the road, boy,
she's comin' down the road,
Her bags down low,
she's got her bags down low.

One of these days, boys,
gonna see my woman;
She'll have my children,
children on her knee.
I'll run up to my woman
and hold her in my arms,
Tears in her eyes,

she says, "I'm glad you're free."

HERE THEY COME
Here they come, and they fly with the power of the sun.
Here they come, and they're going to touch everyone.
Far, far have they come.

Here they come, and the fire on their wings doesn't burn.
Here they come, and they know everything we must learn.
Round, round we must turn.

Watch out you sinners, don't you know that your time has come?
watch out you winners, now it's the same for everyone.

Here they come, and the stars in their eyes seem to glow.
Here they come, and the fear in our hearts starts to go.

Now, now, now we all know

I'D LOVE TO CHANGE THE WORLD
Everywhere is freaks and hairies, dykes and fairies;
Tell me where is sanity?
Tax the rich, feed the poor, till there are no rich no more.
I'd love to change the world
but I don't know what to do,
So I'll leave it up to you.

Population, keeps on breeding, nation bleeding,
Still more feeding economy.
Life is funny, skies are sunny, bees make honey,
Who needs money? Monopoly!
I'd love to change the world
but I don't know what to do,
So I'll leave it up to you...
Oh yeah,

World pollution, there's no solution, institution, electrocution,
Just black and white, rich or poor, them and us,
We'll stop the war!

I'd love to change the world
but I don't know what to do,

So I'll leave it up to you...

OVER THE HILL
I got water on the brain, my mind is like a drain;
Here I go again
over the hill.
My eyes don't seem to clear, I'm not sure what I hear;
It seems I'm goin' clear
over the hill.

Like a cripple and his crutch,
I have leaned a bit too much;
Seems that I should never touch again.
Now it seems it's plain to see
that this stuff is killin' me;
Got to quit so I'll be free again.

I got too much to lose, no one can fill my shoes;
Think I'll leave the blues

over the hill

BABY WON'T YOU LET ME ROCK & ROLL YOU
Baby won't you let me, rock and roll you
Baby won't you let me, really stroll you
Baby won't you let me, rock and roll you now - ha!

Baby won't you let me, really shake you
Baby won't you let me, really break you
Baby won't you let me, really take you now !

Well you, remember baby how it used to be
I used to rock and roll you on my knee
Well I, tell you baby gonna be alright
I'm gonna rock and roll you all through the night

Baby won't you let me, really shake you
Baby won't you let me, really break you
Baby won't you let me, oh, really make you love, wow !

Yeah, well, I tell you baby gonna be alright
I'm gonna rock you all through the night
Tell you honey how it's gonna be
You're gonna rockin’, you around my knee
Oh won't you let me, sock it to you
Baby won't you let me, oh, drive it to you

Baby won't you let me, really roll you now !

ONCE THERE WAS A TIME
Once there was a time I'd rob my mama
For a good meal and a smoke.
Once there was a time I'd sell my brother
For a dollar when I was broke.

But I'd never sell my guitar
And my strings were always sharp.
'Cause if I don't have a guitar,
I'll be strummin' on some angel's harp.

And if I don't get to heaven
And I go down there below,
Better be a guitar when I get there
Or I will refuse to go

Once there was a time I was hungry
And I'd find my food in some bin.
But I'd never, never sell my guitar

'Cause that would, darlin', that would be a sin.

Once there was a time I was hungry

And I'd find my food in some bin.

But I'd never, never sell my guitar
'Cause that would, darlin', that would be a sin.

LET THE SKY FALL
Let the sky fall, let the sea sink;
Let the earth shake, let the sun blink.
Let the universe go spinning free,
If my darlin' ever leaves me.

Let the air freeze, let the moon cry;
Let the stars go out, let the world die.
Let my eyes go blind, let the grass turn blue,
If I ever think of leavin' you.

Let our love be, with our minds free;
Let our hearts beat, let our eyes see.
Let the universe share our love,

Let me be what you're thinkin' of.

HARD MONKEYS
Got no monkey on my back
and I'm never goin' to crack.
'Cause it's a good life,
too good to lose;
But it's a hard world
with the junkie blues.

Got no streetcar called Desire
and I'll never light the fire.
'Cause it's a good life,
too good to lose;
But it's a hard world
with the junkie blues.

Got no monkey on my back
and I'm never goin' to crack.
'Cause it's a good life,
too good to lose;
But it's a hard world

with the junkie blues

I'VE BEEN THERE TOO
There's someone somewhere
who can't go on;
Their life is cryin',
it's all gone wrong.
What can I say now
to help you get through,
Except to say that,
I've been there too?

Your soul is achin'
you can't see it through;
But time is healin',
each day you do.
Keep on lookin' forward
forget the past;
It's up to you now,
don't let it last.
You got to wake up, shake up, you got a right to live;
Shake up, don't break up, you've got a lot to give.

You'll wake up one morning'
you start to feel good;
The sun in the blue sky,
looks like it should.
'Cause time is a healer
it's strange but it's true;
So keep lookin' forward,
the sun will come through.
You got to wake up, shake up, you got a right to live;
Shake up, don't break up, you've got a lot to give.

You got to wake up, shake up, you got a right to live;
Shake up, don't break up, you've got a lot to give.

There's someone somewhere
who can't go on;
Their life is cryin',
it's all gone wrong.
What can I say now
to help you get through,
Except to say that,
I've been there too?

You got to wake up, shake up, you got a right to live;

Shake up, don't break up, you've got a lot to give.
