STONE COUNTY
I traveled forty miles of bad road
Runnin' from the county man
Just broke from the Stone County prison
And I'm never going back again

Gotta make my way from Stone County
Try to catch the Santa Fe
I can hear her whistle calling me
Just a half a mile away

I left my home down in Texas
Seven long years ago
I remember my mom on my daddy's farm
Sittin' in Tobacco Road

I'm gonna rock 'till I die in Stone County
Gotta catch the Santa Fe
I can hear her whistle calling me
'Bout a half a mile away
Yeah...

(Woohoo! Woohoo!) I'm a Stone County wanted man
(Woohoo! Woohoo!) I'm a Stone County wanted man

Well I'm a wanted man out of Texas
Even down Mexico way
You know they want me for Stone County prison
But Lord they'll never see the day

Gonna make my way from Stone County
Catch the train to Santa Fe
I can hear her whistle calling me
Just a half a mile away
Yeah...

(Woohoo! Woohoo!) I'm a Stone County wanted man
(Woohoo! Woohoo!) I'm a Stone County wanted man
(Woohoo! Woohoo!) I'm a Stone County wanted man
(Woohoo! Woohoo!) I'm a Stone County wanted man

(Woohoo! Woohoo!) Stone County wanted man

BLINDED BY LOVE
Blinded by love
I can't see the morning sun
Blinded by love
I can't see that the day is done

Never meant to hurt, never meant to harm
Never meant to get involved
Never meant to hurt, never meant to harm
Never meant to get involved
La, da, da, da, dai, la, da, da, da, dai
La, da, da, da, da, da, dai
La, da, da, da, dai, la, da, da, da, dai
La, da, da, da, da, da, dai

Blinded by love
I can't see the morning sun
Blinded by love
I can't see that the day is done

Look around the corner, what do I see, yeah
Great big stone wall staring at me
Look over yonder, what's that I see
Great big wide world staring at me
Well I was leaving town last summer
But my friends said stick around
And though the summer breeze was at my knees
I stayed in this little old town
Winter rolls around
Freezin' up my brain
Sayin' you'd better move around
Before you go insane
Summer didn't lie, winter didn't lie
Time you gotta get away
Summer didn't lie, winter didn't lie
Time you gotta say goodbye

Blinded by love
I can't see the morning sun
Blinded by love
I can't see that the day is done

Well I fell in love last summer, she begged me to stay
It was just a matter of time 'fore the love gone away
Tears are on my pillow, sad, broke and shy
I wanna drink of the water but the well is going dry
Look around the corner, what's that I see
Great big stone wall staring at me
Look over yonder, what's that I see
Great big wide world staring at me
Summer didn't lie, winter didn't lie
Time you gotta get away
Summer didn't lie, winter didn't lie
Time you gotta say goodbye

Blinded by love
I can't see the morning sun
Blinded by love
I can't see that the day is done
Blinded by love
I can't see the morning sun
Blinded by love

I can't see that the day is done

She gonna put out a worldwide voodoo
That'll be the very thing that'll suit you
Gonna see that you be back home in thirty days

STRAY CAT BLUES
I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs
I know you ain't no scared eyes, honey
We'll have a feast if you'll just come on upstairs
Ain't no hangin' matter
Ain't no capital crime
I can see you're only fifteen years old
But I don't want your I.D.
You look so restless and you're so far from home
But ya know it ain't no hangin' matter
Ain't no capital crime
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
Oh yeah, don'tcha
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
I'll bet you mother dosen't know you could scream like that
And she didn't know you could bite like that
You look so weird and you're so far from home
But ya really miss your mother
Don't look so scared, I ain't no bad vain bear
But it ain't no hangin' matter
Ya know it ain't no, ain't no capital crime

Ya said ya got a friend; she's wilder than you
Why don't ya bring her on upstairs
If she's so wild she can join in too
Ain't no hangin' matter

Ain't no capital crime, ain't no capital crime

BAD LUCK SITUATION
Yeah, woo
The full moon, it is rising and the rain is falling down
Looking for my woman but she ain't nowhere around
Woohoo
She in a bad luck situation, gonna shoot my baby down

I don't share or have no mercy, I got murder on my mind
She in a bad luck situation 'cause she treat me so unkind
Woohoo
Just like today you livin' but tomorrow you could be blind,
Yeah

Oww, yeaah, boogie, with it
WooOOoo,

Got my mojo in my pocket
Got my pistol in my hand
I've been thinkin', I've been wonderin', but I just don't understand
Gonna shot up this bad woman, well she don't need no other man
Uhh,

oww

ROLLIN’ CROSS THE COUNTRY
Get on the road, seems like a good time

Oh yeah, we was feelin' mighty fine
Oh yeah, we was rollin' 'cross the country

RIOT IN CELL BLOCK #9
July the second, it was nineteen sixty-three
I was servin' time for armed robbery
Four o'clock in the mornin', I was layin' back in my cell
I heard the whistle blow then I heard somebody yell

There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Down in cell block number nine

The riot started down in cell block number four
Spread like wild fire across the prison floor
Scar-face Jones said, "It's too late to quit"
Here’s the dynamite 'cause the fuse is lit

There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Down in cell block number nine

Y'all gotta stop that stuff goin' on over there
If ya don't stop that riot, y'all gonna get the chair
I said, "Hey now boys, get ready to run
Here come the warden with an automatic gun"

There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Down in cell block number nine

In the forty-seventh hour the tear gas
It got our men
We are all back in our cells
But every now and then

There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on

Down in cell block number nine

HURTIN’ SO BAD
I woke up late this mornin'
In an empty bed
It's that same old lonesome song
Ya know my baby's gone
Oh I, oh I'm hurtin' so bad

I got tear drops, I got tear drops on my pillow
Thinkin' about the good times that we had
My friends all all say be strong
Ya just got to carry on
But I, oh I'm hurtin' so bad

You know I got me,
I got me two arms free wrapped up in love
But that don't do me no good
I believe it takes a good woman
To mellow bad bad man if you try
I believe ya really could
Your lovin' ways, so warm and tender
Your worst was the best I ever had
So come on back home
It's so hard to live alone
I, oh I'm hurtin' so bad

Yeah I, I got me
Two or three times of love
But that don't do me no good
You know it takes a good woman
To love a bad bad man if you try
I know you really could, ooooh

Your lovin' ways, your lovin’ ways so warm and tender
Your worst was the best I ever had
So come on back home
It's so hard to live alone
Oh I, oh I hurtin' so bad
Hey yeah you know I love you so bad
Sometime I feel like I, I
Sometime I gotta sit down and I
Every once in a while
Every once in a while
I gotta talk to you baby

I gotta talk to you baby

BONY MORONIE
I got a girl named Bony Moronie
She's as skinny as a stick of macaroni
Oughta see her rock-n-roll with her blue jeans on
She's not very fat she's just skin and bones
I love her and she loves me
Oh, how happy now we can be
Makin' love underneath the apple tree

She's my one and only she's my hearts desire
She's a real upsetter she's a real live wire
Everybody turns when my baby walks by
She's something to see she really catches your eye
I love her and she loves me
Oh, how happy now we can be
Makin' love underneath the apple tree

Gonna tell her momma and her poppa too
Just exactly what I want to do
I wanna get married on a night in June
And rock-n-roll by the light of the silvery moon
I love her and she loves me
Oh, how happy now we can be

Makin' love underneath the apple tree
