LONG TIME GONE
Out on the lonesome highway
Suitcase and an old guitar
Just outside Oklahoma City
In a place called Johnny's Roadside Bar
Having fun
Son of a gun
I ain't fit to be tied
I'm on my way back to Georgia
Won't you give me a ride

Sometimes it at easy
When you don't have much to spare
Traveling light
Lord, counting on my fifth
But the little bit hear and there
She's got the prettiest big brown eyes
When she's satisfied
But I'm on way back to Georgia, boys
Won't you give me a ride

I'm a long time gone
On my way back home, Lord
Long time gone, gone

I'm a long time gone
On my way back home, Lord
Long time gone, gone

I'm a long time gone
On my way back home, Lord

Long time gone, gone

MEAN OLD WORLD
This city mean old world, try livin' by yourself
This city mean old world, try livin' by yourself
Can't get the one you love, have to use somebody else

I've got the blues, gonna pack my things and go
I've got the blues, gonna pack my things and go
Guess you don't love me, lovin' mister so and so

Sometimes I wonder why can your love be so cold
Sometimes I wonder why can your love be so cold

I guess you don't love me, gonna pack my things and go

MIDNIGHT BLUES
Got the blues like midnight.
Honey won't be long 'fore day.
Got the blues like midnight.
Honey won't be long 'fore day.
Wish that tornado would blow my blues away.

Lord, I can tell my bulldog
when I hear him bark
Lord, I can tell my bulldog
when I hear him bark
Lord, I can tell my baby when I hear her in the dark.

Got the blues like midnight.
Honey won't be long 'fore day.
Got the blues like midnight.
Honey won't be long 'fore day.

Lord I wish a tornado would blow my blues away

MORNING DEW
Walk me out in the morning dew, my heart
Walk me out in the morning dew, my heart
You know I can't walk you out in the morning dew, my heart
You know I can't walk you out in the morning dew, my heart

Thought I heard a young girl cry, yeah
Thought I heard a young girl cry, yeah
No you didn't hear no young girl cry at all
No you didn't hear no young girl cry

Thought I heard a young girl cry, yeah
Thought I heard a young girl cry, yeah
No you didn't hear no young girl cry
No you didn't hear no young girl cry at all

Now there is no morning dew
Now there is no morning dew
What they've been saying all these years as come true
What they've been saying all these years as come true
Got no morning dew, woh

MULTICOLORED LADY
Got on a bus in Memphis,
Destination Rome.
Georgia ain't no paradise
but a place I just call home.
I sat next to a broken hearted bride
She was cryin', tryin' so hard to hide
her selfish sorrow.

I tried to get her talkin'
She didn't have much to say
She asked me for a map to death row
But I didn't know the way
She had lost a million in the game
One look out the window at the pine trees and the rain
It wasn't her day.

Multicolored lady
you ain't like no rainbow I've ever seen
Multicolored lady
Angry red, passion blue, but mostly shades of green

Midnight came and brought more rain,
nothing seemed to ease her pain.
The hours that we talked seemed like minutes all in vein.
I watched as her tears kept runnin' wide
Bye and bye and bye, way back after a while
She started smilin'.

Multicolored lady
You ain't like no rainbow I've ever known.
Multicolored lady
Come go with me, I'll take you to my home
Oh, by the way, I'm bound for Rome.

NANCY
Walking in the midnight rain
Thought I heard a southbound train
Call your name, Nancy

Walking in the rain all day
Guess there weren't nobody goin' my way
They didn't stop at all
But I will get back to you if I have to crawl

Nancy I’ve told you in my letter
Things didn't appear to be no better at all
And this ol' highway's a hell of a line
Nancy I’ve just spent my last dime to make this call
Oh Nancy, I'll get back to you if I have to crawl
Oh yeah, oh Nancy, oh yeah...

I left my home for a job in the city
It's a crying shame, It's a pity
It ain't livin' at all
Nobody knows my name
They don't even give a hang about me ‘t all
Nancy, baby I'm getting back to you if I have to crawl

Nancy I told you in my letter
Things didn't appear to be no better at all
This ol' highway's a hell of a line
Nancy I’ve just spent my last dime to make this call
Nancy, baby I'll get back to you if I have to crawl
Oh yeah yeah oh oh
Oh Nancy
Oh Nancy

NIGHT GAMES
It's five o'clock, thank God it's Friday
Anticipation's drivin' me wild
One more hour is, one more eternity
I can't wait just to see your smile
We can dance out on the high wire
Up so high we can't look down
Close your eyes, dive in the deep end
We'll go the distance baby, one more time

Let's play, night games
Let's do, some nighttimes things

Bright lights shine in the starlight,
We're drawn like moth to a flame
Fly straight into the candel
Oh, baby here we go again

Let's play, night games

Let's do, some nighttimes things

OCEAN AWASH THE GUNWALE
Our lives are hanging in the balance
Or they're dangling by a thread
A spark of life brought down from an angel
To raise the stranger from the dead
Once more we're cheating on the reaper
With all the gypsy in our souls
Cause I know there's a God up in heaven
Who must love rock and roll

Once again we sail home to Sarasota
As the ocean awash the gunwale
But she still keeps her head above water
Guess we're all gonna live to tell this tale

And here's to the you for always hangin' in
Without you there's no reason to go
I'd be lying face down in some river
Waiting on an angel to take me back home

Once again we sail home to Sarasota
with the ocean awash the gunwale
But she still keeps her head above water
Guess we're all gonna live to tell this tale

Once again we sail home to Sarasota
with the ocean awash the gunwale
But she still keeps her head above water
Guess we're all gonna live to tell this tale

PLEASE BE WITH ME
Upon my word what does it mean?
Is it love or is it me
That makes me change so suddenly
From looking out to feeling free?

I sit here lying in my bed
Wondering what it was I said
That made me think I lost my head
When I knew I lost my heart instead

So won't you please read my signs be a gypsy
Tell me what I hope to find deep within me
And because you can't find my mind please be with me

And of all the better things I've heard
Loving you has made the words
And all the rest seem so absurd
Cause in the end it all comes out I'm sure

So won't you please read my signs be a gypsy
Tell me what I hope to find deep within me

And because you can't find my mind please be with me

RAIN
When the rain comes,
They run and hide their head,
Might as well be dead,
When the rain comes,
When the rain comes.

When the sun shines,
They slip into the shade,
Drink their lemonade,
When the sun shines,
When the sun shines.

Rain, I don't mind, I dont mind.
Shine, the weather is fine.

I can show you,
When I starts to rain,
Everything's gonna be the same, yeah,
I can show you, I can show you.

Rain, I don't mind, I don't mind.
Shine, the weather is fine.

SHAPES OF THINGS
Shapes of things before my eyes
Just teach me to despise
Will time make man more wise?

Here within my lonely frame
My eyes just hurt my brain
But will they seem the same?

Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Come tomorrow, may be a soldier
Come tomorrow, will I be bolder than today?

Soon I hope that I will find
Loves deep within my mind
I won't disgrace my kind

Soon into your passing hands
Please don't destroy these lands
Don't make them desert sands

Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Come tomorrow, may be a soldier
Come tomorrow will I be bolder than today?

Soon I hope that I will find
Loves deep within my mind
I won't disgrace my kin

Soon into your passing hands
Please don't destroy these lands
Don't make them desert sands

SHE HAS FUNNY CARS
Every day I try so hard to know your mind
And find out what's inside you
Time goes on and I don't know just who you are
Or how I'm going to find you

You can do whatever you please
The world's waiting to be seized
You can collect all neglect
Or all the self-respect you need, what you need

And I know... and I know... and I know

Your mind's guaranteed
It's all you'll ever need
So what do you want with me?

We live but once
But good things can be found around
In spite of all the sorrow

If you see black
You can't look back
You can't look front
You cannot face tomorrow

Some have it nice
Fat and round, flash, paradise
They're very wise to their disguise
Trying to revolutionize tomorrow

And I know... and I know... and I know

Your mind's guaranteed
It's all you'll ever need

So what do you want with me

SLIP AWAY
What would I give, just for a few moments
What would I give , just to have you near
Tell me you will try, to slip away somehow
Oh, I need you darlin', I want to see you right now

Can you slip away, slip away, slip away hey hey hey
Oh, I need you so

Now I know it's wrong, the things I ask you to do
But please belive me darlin', I don't mean to hurt you
But could you just slip away, without him knowin' you're gone
Then we could meet somewhere, somewhere where we're both not known

Can you slip away, slip away, slip away hey hey hey
Oh, I need you so

Love, oh love, how sweet it is

The way you make me feel sometime, darling, how sweet it is.

SPOONFUL
Now could be spoonful of diamonds
Could be spoonful of gold
Just want a spoon ot your precious love
Satisfy my soul

I’m just wild about it, crazy about it
Everybody’s talking about
Well that spoon, that spoon, that
Well that spoon, that spoon, that

Now it could be spoonful of coffee
Could be spoonful of tea
Just want a spoon of your precious love
That's good enough for me

I’m just wild about it, crazy about it
Everybody’s talking about
Well that spoon, that spoon, that
Well that spoon, that spoon, that

Now it could be a spoonful of water
Shade from the desert sand
Just one spoon of my good, good love
Will save you from another man

I’m just wild about it, crazy about it
Everybody’s talking about
Well that spoon, that spoon, that

Well that spoon, that spoon, that

THE SAME THING
To make a man go crazy, a woman wear her dress so tight
To make a man go crazy, a woman wear her dress so tight
Must be the same thing make a tom cat fight all night.

Make you feel so good when your baby get her evening gown
Make you feel so good when your baby get her evening gown
Must be the same thing make a preacher lay his bible down.

Oh, the same thing,
Oh, the same thing,
Tell me who is to blame,
Whole world fighting about the same thing.

Makes all these men chase some big leg woman down?
What makes all these men chase a big leg woman down?
Must be the same thing make a poor dog a hurtin' hound.

Oh, the same thing,
Oh, the same thing,
Tell me who is to blame,
Whole world fighting about that same thing.

Oh, the same thing,
Oh, the same thing,
Tell me who is to blame,

Whole world fighting about that same thing.

THE WEIGHT
I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past DEAD
I just need some place where I can lay my head
Hey, mister, can you tell me, where a man might find a bed
He just grinned and shook my hand, “No”, was all he said.

Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me

I picked up my bags, I went looking for a place to hide
Then I saw old Carmen and the devil walking side by side
I said, “Hey Carmen, c'mon, let's go downtown”
She said, “I gotta go, but my friend can stick around”

Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me

Go down, Miss moses, ain't nothin you can say
It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on judgement day
Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Annalee
He said, “Do me a favor, so, won't you stay and keep Annalee comapany”

Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog
said, “I will fix your rag, if you'll take Jack, my dog”
I said, “Wait a minute Chester-you know, I'm a peaceful man”
He said, “That's ok, boy, won't you feed him when you can”

Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me

Get you cannonball, now to take me down the line
My bag is sinking low, and I do believe it's time
To get back to miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here, with her regards for everyone

Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free

Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me

THORN AND A WILD ROSE
He came from the streets, she came from the mountains
A faded star and an angel without wings,
Their passions flowed like a deep running river
They had nothing left to lose and everything to gain and he said

Let's make a garden said the thorn to the wild rose,
plant some seeds deep in the ground,
Let's make a garden said the thorn to the wild rose,
strong enough to hold us down

Seasons will change, we'll last forever we'll see the snow and the
falling of the leaves
High on the hill with the sky all around us, we'll watch it grow
from two wild seeds

Let's make a garden said the thorn to the wild rose,
plant some seeds deep in the ground,
Let's make a garden said the thorn to the wild rose,
where it's springtime all around

He came from the streets, she came from the mountains
A faded star and an angel without wings,
Their passions flowed like a deep running river
They had nothing left to lose and everything to gain and he said

Let's make a garden said the thorn to the wild rose,
plant some seeds deep in the ground,
Let's make a garden said the thorn to the wild rose,
where it's springtime all around

Let's make a garden said the thorn to the wild rose,
plant some seeds deep in the ground,
Let's make a garden said the thorn to the wild rose,

where it's springtime all around

TOMBSTONE EYES
Not so long ago, just a few years back
We used to hang out down by the railroad track.
The guitars they played and the singers made rhyme
It was a good time for being free.

Bouquet of flowers on her kitchen window sill
Listen to Bob Dylan’s new stuff he'd just done in Jacksonville
Lay down on the hillside and look up at the sky
We had it all you and I.

And the lives we were living started to feel like yesterday
People started driftin and goin their separate ways
The wind started blowin and the sky began to cry
You and I we didnt make it, I wished we'd never said goodbye

I hope I never see those eyes again
Eyes that used to be my best friend's
And we gave it all away for the diamonds in the dust
With a hungry voice still howlin in the wind
A heart of stone no longer lasts, her eyes no longer cry
I know I'll never see those tombstone eyes again.

And I know I'll never see those tombstone eyes again

No more religious message just a story to tell
I keep on track on Sunday, peace and love, heaven and hell.
I'm a mean beat street drifter, with the sun shining from a face
Ah but that was long ago, another time, another place.

I hope I never see those eyes again
Eyes that used to be my best friend's
And we gave it all away for the diamonds in the dust
With a hungry voice still howlin in the wind
A heart of stone no longer lasts, her eyes no longer cry

I know I'll never see those tombstone eyes again.

WORRIED DOWN WITH THE BLUES
Lying here for hours
Can't get my eyes to close
Can't get one moment's peace
To save my dog-gone soul

I've been doin' more than drinkin'
Tryin' to ease my pain
Everywhere I go
Somebody speaks your name

Oh my friends keep on askin'
Boy what's wrong with you?
I say I'm worried
Worried down with the blues

Try to be a good man
Work my fingers to the bone
And you return the favor
By messing up my happy home

You played so many dirty tricks
Till I lost my faith in you
Now you want me to take you back
What's a poor man supposed to do?

Worried down with the blues
Oh, yes I am
Worried down with the blues
Oh, I feel like I was born to lose

Used to walk with pride with my head held high
Now I'm starin' down at my shoes
Yes I am worried
Worried down with the blues

You made me turn my back
On my very best friend
And when my back was turned
You were messin' around with him

I'd give up everything
To have you by my side
'Cause in the cold, cold night when I reach for you
I'm holdin' to my foolish pride

Worried down with the blues
Oh, yes I am
Worried down with the blues
Feel like I was born to lose

Used to walk with pride with my head held high
Now I'm starin' down at my shoes
Yes I am worried
Worried down with the blues, oh yeah

YOU CAN’T LOSE WHAT YOU AIN’T NEVER HAD
Had a sweet little girl, ran off, took her the baby boy.
People ain't that sad?

Ah, you can't spend what you ain't got.
You can't lose what you never had.

I had a sweet little home, got drunk, burned it down.
People ain't so sad?
Oh, I had a sweet little home, got drunk, burned it down.
