HIGH WATER EVERYWHERE
Well there’s high water everywhere
Lord the river overflows
Well there’s high water everywhere
Lord the river overflows
You go where its high boy
Down to hill country road

Still the water was rising
I been sinking down
Man, that water was rising
At all places around
Where the fifty men and children,
come to sink and drown

Now we’re looking at New Orleans,
where the crest stood high
Nobody said it was rising,
one more time silver lie
Should move up much higher,
before I sink and die

BRIDGE TO BETTER DAYS
You sit in your big house baby
you drive your fancy car
you treat me like I’m not there
but I guess that’s who you are
Well I’m on the bridge to better days
(better days are coming now)

Tired of asking all my friends
please help me once more
This old life that I’m leading
got me down on the floor
Well I’m on the bridge to better days
(better days are coming now)
Better days are coming now
(better days are coming now)

Gonna be a matter of time
you know the sun will rise
Used to say it was in my head
I was led along instead
I’m on the bridge to better days
(better days are coming now)
Better days are coming now

(better days are coming now)

ASKING AROUND FOR YOU
If I get to heaven
the first thing I’ll do
‘Fore I meet my maker
I’m gonna ask around for you
All of heaven gotta know
your beauty all too true
I’ll tap an angel on the shoulder
and I’ll be asking around for you

She found a place up there
where we all can sit and talk a while
play some cards and drink black coffee
How I’d love to see you smile
If I get to heaven now
Oh, I’m praying that I do
It’ll be the first thing I do
I’ll tap an angel on the shoulder
and I’ll be asking around for you

I’m sure you found a place up there
where we all can sit and talk a while
play some cards and drink black coffee
I’d love to see you smile
If I get to heaven now
oh I’m praying that I do
I’ll be the first thing I do
I’ll tap an angel on the shoulder
and I’ll be asking around for you

I’ll tap an angel on the shoulder

and I’ll be coming home to you

SO MANY ROADS
So many roads
So many trains to ride
So many roads
So many trains to ride
I’ve got to find my baby
‘Fore I could be satisfied

I was standing at my window
When I heard that whistle blow
I was standing at my window
When I heard that whistle blow
I thought it was a straight line
Oh, but I saw it bow

Yeeaahhh…

It was a mean old fireman
And a cruel engineer
It was a mean old fireman
And a cruel engineer
Yes it took my baby
Oh, it left me standing here

So many roads
So many trains to ride
So many roads
So many trains to ride
I’ve got to find my baby

‘Fore I satisfy

I DON’T BELIEVE
I don't believe, I don't believe you'd let me down
I don't believe, I don't believe you'd let me down
Yes, when I needed you baby, honey, you're always around

I don't believe, I don't believe you got somebody
else
I don't believe, I don't believe you got somebody
else
Yes, if you didn't want me, baby, honey, you would
have left me on the shelf

When I was hungry, you gave me food,
You treated me like a king, you never was rude
You bought me clothes, the best in town
Wherever what happened, baby, I was always around
I don't believe, I don’t believe you'd let me down,
yes, when I needed you baby, honey, you always around

When I was hungry, you gave me food,
You treated me like a king, you never was rude
You bought me clothes, the best in town
Wherever what happened, baby, I was always around
I don't believe, I don’t believe you'd let me down,
yes, when I needed you baby, honey, you always around

I don't believe, I don't believe you got somebody
else
I don't believe, I don't believe you got somebody
else

yes, when I needed you baby, honey, left me on the shelf

TAMP ‘EM UP SOLID
Na na na na na na na na na...
Tamp 'em up solid, so they won't come down
Tamp 'em up solid, so they won't come down
Baby, when you marry your railroad man
Every day'll be pay day, dollar bill in your hand
Tamp 'em up solid, so they won't come down
Tamp 'em up solid, so they won't come down
Mary and the baby laying in the bed
Thinking about the money that I ain't made
Tamp 'em up solid so they won't come down
Tamp 'em up solid, so they won't come down

Captain called the water boy and the water boy laughed
Captain kicked the water boy yelling, "Yes, yes, yes"
So tamp 'em up solid, so they won't come down
Tamp 'em up solid, so they won't come down
Na na na na na na na na na...

TEA FOR ONE
How come twenty four hours,
baby sometimes seem to slip into days?
Oh twenty four hours,
baby sometimes seem to slip into days?
One minute seems like a lifetime,
baby when I feel this way

Sittin, lookin at the clock yeah,
time moves so slow
I’ve been watchin for the hands to move
Until I just can’t think no more
How come twenty four hours,
baby sometimes seems to slip into days?

One minute seems like a lifetime,
Oh.. baby when I feel this way.

To sing a song for you,
I recall you used to say
“Oh baby this one’s for we two”
Which in the end is you anyway
How come twenty four hours,
baby sometimes seem to slip into days?

One minute seems like a lifetime,
baby when I feel this way.

There was a time that I stood tall,
In the eyes of other men
But by my own choice I left you woman,
and now I can’t, can’t get you back again
How come twenty four hours. yeah..,
baby sometimes seem to slip into days?

One minute seems like a lifetime,
Oh, baby when I feel this way
One minute seems like a lifetime
Baby when I feel this way

I feel this way

PALM TREES HELICOPTERS AND GASOLINE

(Instrumental)

YOUR FUNERAL AND MY TRIAL
Come home to me baby, come explain yourself to me
You and I are gonna start a family, a brand new baby
Come off that off the wall jive
Cause if you carry me, know by god, you’re filled with my child

Oh I love my baby, gotta see her when I can
Find my baby messin’ with another man
I caught my baby,
Come off that off the wall jive
Cause if you carry me, know by god, you’re filled with my child
Oh, take it up

Oh I love my baby, its as sharp as a knife
Oh baby, you been hard to my desire
Oh baby, come off that off the wall jive

Cause if you carry me, know by god, you’re filled with my child

TORN DOWN
One more cross to bear
One more mind over matter
One more road I ride

One more day alone
One more night in the city
No more living lies

I won’t wait
I won’t be torn down
Wait
Won’t be turned around
Wait
I won’t be torn down

I won’t be torn down
I won’t be torn down
I won’t be torn down

Got my eyes on you
Bringin’ sight to a blind man
One more precious time

Feel the sun risin’
One more day with the rhythm
Just what I have to play

I won’t wait
I won’t be torn down
Wait
Won’t be turned around
Wait
I won’t be torn down

I won’t be torn down
I won’t be torn down
I won’t be torn down

I won’t wait
I won’t be torn down
Wait
Won’t be turned around
Wait
I won’t be torn down

I won’t be torn down
I won’t be torn down
I won’t be torn down
I won’t be torn down
I won’t be torn down

I won’t be torn down
