And It Stoned Me
|
|
Half a mile from the county fair And the rain keep pourin' down Me and Billy standin' there With a silver half a crown Hands are full of a fishin' rod And the tackle on our backs We just stood there gettin' wet With our backs against the fence Oh, the water Oh, the water Oh, the water Hope it don't rain all day And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like Jelly Roll And it stoned me And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like goin' home And it stoned me Then the rain let up and the sun came up And we were gettin' dry Almost let a pick-up truck nearly pass us by So we jumped right in and the driver grinned And he dropped us up the road We looked at the swim and we jumped right in Not to mention fishing poles Oh, the water Oh, the water Oh, the water Let it run all over me And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like Jelly Roll And it stoned me And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like goin' home And it stoned me On the way back home we sang a song But our throats were getting dry Then we saw the man from across the road With the sunshine in his eyes Well he lived all alone in his own little home With a great big gallon jar There were bottles too, one for me and you And he said Hey! There you are Oh, the water Oh, the water Oh, the water Get it myself from the mountain stream And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like Jelly Roll And it stoned me And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like goin' home And it stoned me |

Moondance
|
|
Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance With the stars up above in your eyes A fantabulous night to make romance 'Neath the cover of October skies And all the leaves on the trees are falling To the sound of the breezes that blow And I'm trying to please to the calling Of your heart-strings that play soft and low And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush Can I just have one more Moondance with you, my love Can I just make some more romance with you, my love Well, I want to make love to you tonight I can't wait 'til the morning has come And I know that the time is just right And straight into my arms you will run And when you come my heart will be waiting To make sure that you're never alone There and then all my dreams will come true, dear There and then I will make you my own And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside And I know how much you want me that you can't hide Can I just have one more Moondance with you, my love Can I just make some more romance with you, my love Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance With the stars up above in your eyes A fantabulous night to make romance 'Neath the cover of October skies And all the leaves on the trees are falling To the sound of the breezes that blow And I'm trying to please to the calling Of your heart-strings that play soft and low And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush One more Moondance with you in the moonlight On a magic night La, la, la, la in the moonlight On a magic night Can't I just have one more dance with you my love |

Crazy Love
|
|
I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles And the heavens open every time she smiles And when I come to her that's where I belong Yet I'm running to her like a river's song She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down And when I come to her when the sun goes down Take away my trouble, take away my grief Take away my heartache, in the night like a thief She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love Yes I need her in the daytime Yes I need her in the night Yes I want to throw my arms around her Kiss her hug her kiss her hug her tight And when I'm returning from so far away She gives me some sweet lovin' brighten up my day Yes it makes me righteous, yes it makes me feel whole Yes it makes me mellow down in to my soul She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love |

And the caravan is on it's way I can hear the merry gypsies play Mama mama look at Emma Rose She's a-playin with the radio La, la, la, la... And the caravan has all my friends It will stay with me until the end Gypsy Robin, Sweet Emma Rose Tell me everything I need to know La, la, la... Turn up your radio and let me hear the song Switch on your electric light Then we can get down to what is really wrong I long to hold you tight so I can feel you Sweet lady of the night I shall reveal you Turn it up, turn it up, little bit higher radio Turn it up, turn it up, so you know, radio La, la, la, la... And the caravan is painted red and white That means ev'rybody's staying overnight Barefoot gypsy player round the campfire sing and play And a woman tells us of her ways La, la, la, la... Turn up your radio and let me hear the song Switch on your electric light Then we can get down to what is really wrong I long to hold you tight so I can feel you Sweet lady of the night I shall reveal you Turn it up, turn it up, little bit higher, radio Turn it up, that's enough, so you know it's got soul Radio, radio turn it up, hum La, la, la, la... |

Into the Mystic
|
|
We were born before the wind Also younger than the sun Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic Hark, now hear the sailors cry Smell the sea and feel the sky Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it I don't have to fear it I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old Then magnificently we will float into the mystic And when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it I don't have to fear it I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old And together we will float into the mystic Come on girl... |

Come Running
|
|
By the side of the tracks where the train goes by The wind and the rain will catch you, you will sigh Deep in your heart Then you'll come a-running to me You'll come a-running to me Well you watch the train go 'round the bend Play in dust and dream that it will never end Deep in your heart You'll come a-running to me You'll come a-running to me Said, hey, come a-running to me Oh, come a-running to me Yeah, come a-running to me Said, hey, come a-running to me Oh, come a-running to me Hey, yeah, come a-running to me With your hound dog by your side And your arms stretched out open wide I want to keep you satisfied in the morning sun By my side, come on, come on run And you kick the sand up with your heels You think to yourself how good it feels Put away all your walking shoes Then you come running to me Now you come running to me I said, hey, come a-running to me Oh, come a-running to me Hey, yeah, come a-running to me You gotta rainbow if you run to me |

These Dreams of You
|
|
I dreamed you paid your dues in Canada Left me to come through I headed for the right way I knew exactly just what to do I dreamed we played cards in the dark And you lost and you lied Wasn't very hard to do But hurt me deep down inside These dreams of you So real and so true These dreams of you So real and so true My back was up against the wall And you slowly just walked away You never really heard my call When I cried out that way With my face against the sun You pointed out for me to go Then you said I was the one Had to reap what you did sow These dreams of you So real and so true These dreams of you So real and so true And hush-a-bye, don't ever think about it Go to sleep don't ever say one word Close your eyes, you are an angel sent down from above And Ray Charles was shot down But he got up to do his best A crowd of people gathered round To the question answered "yes" And you slapped me on the face I turned around the other cheek You couldn't really stand the pace And I would never be so meek These dreams of you So real and so true These dreams of you So real and so true And hush-a-bye, don't ever think about it Go to sleep don't ever say one word Close your eyes, you are an angel sent down from above |

Brand New Day
|
|
When all the dark clouds roll away And the sun begins to shine I see my freedom from across the way And it comes right in on time Well it shines so bright and it gives so much light And it comes from the sky above Makes me feel so free makes me feel like me And lights my life with love And it seems like and it feels like And it seems like yes it feels like A brand new day, yeah A brand new day oh I was lost and double crossed With my hands behind my back I was longtime hurt and thrown in the dirt Shoved out on the railroad track I've been used, abused and so confused And I had nowhere to run But I stood and looked And my eyes got hooked On that beautiful morning sun And it seems like and it feels like And it seems like yes it feels like A brand new day, yeah A brand new day oh And the sun shines down all on the ground Yeah and the grass is oh so green And my heart is still and I've got the will And I don't really feel so mean Here it comes, here it comes 0 here it comes right now And it comes right in on time Well it eases me and it pleases me And it satisfies my mind And it seems like and it feels like And it seems like yes it feels like A brand new day, yeah A brand new day oh |

Everyone

We shall walk again down along the lane Down the avenue just like we used to do With our heads so high smile at the passers by Then we'll softly sigh ay, ay, ay, ay, ay Everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone Everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone By the winding stream we shall lie and dream We'll make dreams come true if we want them to Yes all will come play the pipes and drum Sing a happy song and we'll sing along Everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone Everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone We shall walk again down along the lane Down the avenue just like we used to do With our heads so high smile at the passers by Then we'll softly sigh ay, ay, ay, ay, ay |

Glad Tidings
|
|
And they'll lay you down low in the easy And the lips that you kiss will say Christmas. And the miles that you traveled the distance So believe no lies, dry your eyes and realize That surprise La, la, la, la la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la... And the businessmen will shake hands and talk in numbers And the princess will wake up from her slumber Then all the knights will step forth with their arm bands And ev'ry stranger you meet in the street will make demands So believe no lies, then dry your eyes and realize That surprise La, la, la... And we'll send you glad tidings from New York Open up your eyes so you may see Ask you not to read between the lines Hope that you will come in right on time And they'll talk to you while you're in trances And you'll visualize not taking any chances But meet them halfway with love, peace and persuasion And expect them to rise for the occasion Don't it gratify when you see it materialize Right in front of your eyes That surprise And they'll lay you down low and easy |
