There but for Fortune
|
|
Show me the prison Show me the jail Show me the prisoner Whose life has gone stale And I'll show you the young man With some many reasons why There but for fortune Go you or I Show me the alley Show me the train Show me the hobo Who sleeps out in the rain And I'll show you the young man With some many reasons why There but for fortune Go you or I Show me the whiskey Stains on the floor Show me the drunkard As he stumbles out the door And I'll show you the young man With some many reasons why There but for fortune Go you or I Show me the country Where the bombs had to fall Show me the ruins Of the buildings once so tall I'll show you the young land With some many reasons why There but for fortune Go you and I You and I You and I |

It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
|
|
You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last. But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast. Yonder stands your orphan with his gun, Crying like a fire in the sun. Look out the saints are comin' through And it's all over now, Baby Blue. The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense. Take what you have gathered from coincidence. The empty-handed painter from your street Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets. This sky, too, is folding under you And it's all over now, Baby Blue. All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home. Your empty-handed armies, they are going home. The lover who just walked out your door Has taken all his blankets from the floor. The carpet, too, is moving under you And it's all over now, Baby Blue. Leave your stepping stones behind, there's something that calls for you. Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you. The vagabond who's rapping at your door Is standing in the clothes that you once wore. Strike another match, go start anew And it's all over now, Baby Blue. |

Farewell, Angelina
|
|
Farewell Angelina the bells on the crown Are being stolen by bandits I must follow the sound The triangle tingles And the music plays slow But farewell Angelina The night is on fire And I must go There is use in talking And there's no need for blame There is nothing to prove Everything still is the same A table stands empty By the edge of the stream But farewell Angelina The sky is changing colors And I must leave The jacks and the queens They foresake the courtyard Fifty-two gypsies Now file past the guard In the space where the deuce And the ace once ran wild Farewell Angelina The sky is folding I'll see you after a while See the crosseyed pirates Sit perched in the sun Shooting tin cans With a sawed off shot gun And the corporals and the neighbors Clap and cheer with each blast But farewell Angelina The sky is trembling And I must leave fast King Kong, little elves And the roof-tops they dance Valentino-type tangos While the heroes clean hands Shut the eyes of the dead Not to embarass anyone Farewell Angelina The sky is flooding over and I must be gone The camoflaged parrot He flutters from fear When something he doesn't know about Suddenly appears What cannot be imitated Perfect must die Farewell Angelina The sky is flooding over And I must go where it is dry Machine guns are roaring The puppets heave rocks At misunderstood visions And at the faces of clocks Call me any name you like I will never deny it But farewell Angelina The sky is errupting And I must go where it is quiet |

The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
|
|
Virgil Caine is the name, and I served on the Danville train, 'Til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again. In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive. By May the tenth, Richmond had fell, It's a time I remember, oh so well, The night they drove Old Dixie down, and the bells were ringing, The night they drove Old Dixie down, and the people were singin'. They went la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. Back with my wife in Tennessee, when one day she called to me, "Virgil, quick, come see, there goes Robert E. Lee!" Now I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good. Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest, But they should never have taken the very best. The night they drove Old Dixie down, and the bells were ringing, The night they drove Old Dixie down, and the people were singin'. They went la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. Like my father before me, I will work the land, Like my brother above me, who took a rebel stand. He was just eighteen, proud and brave, but a Yankee laid him in his grave, I swear by the mud below my feet, You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat. The night they drove Old Dixie down, and the bells were ringing, The night they drove Old Dixie down, and the people were singin'. They went la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. |

Let It Be
|
|
When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me, Speaking words of wisdom: let it be. And in my hour of darkness She is standing right in front of me, Speaking words of wisdom: let it be. Let it be, let it be, Let it be, let it be, Whisper words of wisdom, let it be. And when the broken-hearted people Living in the world agree, There will be an answer: let it be. For though they may be parted There is still a chance that they will see, There will be an answer: let it be. Let it be, let it be, Let it be, let it be, There will be an answer, let it be. And when the night is cloudy There is still a light that shines on me, Shine until tomorrow: let it be. I wake up to the sound of music Mother Mary comes to me, Speaking words of wisdom: let it be. Let it be, let it be, Let it be, let it be, Whisper words of wisdom, let it be. Let it be, let it be, Let it be, let it be, There will be an answer, let it be. |

House of the Rising Sun
|
|
There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun It has been the ruin of many a poor girl And me, oh, God, I'm one If I had listened to what my mother said, I'd have been at home today, But I was young and foulish, oh, God Let a rambler lead me astray Go tell my babysisters Don't do what I have done To shun that house in New Orleans They call the rising sun And going back to new orleans My race is almost run I'm going back to spend my life Beneath the rising sun |

What Have They Done to the Rain
|
|
Just a little rain falling all around The grass lifts its head to the heavenly sound Just a little rain, just a little rain What have they done to the rain Just a little boy standing in the rain The gentle rain that falls for years And the grass is gone, the boy disappears And rain keeps falling like helpless tears And what have they done to the rain Just a little breeze out of the sky The leaves nod their head as the breeze blows by Just a little breeze with some smoke in its eye What have they done to the rain Just a little boy standing in the rain The gentle rain that falls for years And the grass is gone, the boy disappears And rain keeps falling like helpless tears And what have they done to the rain What have they done to the rain |

Eleanor Rigby
|
|
Ah, look at all the lonely people Ah, look at all the lonely people Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been Lives in a dream Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door Who is it for? All the lonely people, where do they all come from? All the lonely people, where do they all belong? Father McKenzie, writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear No one comes near Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there What does he care? All the lonely people, where do they all come from? All the lonely people, where do they all belong? Ah, look at all the lonely people Ah, look at all the lonely people Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name Nobody came Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave No one was saved All the lonely people, where do they all come from? All the lonely people, where do they all belong? |

Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
|
|
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe It don't matter, anyhow An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe If you don't know by now When your rooster crows at the break of dawn Look out your window and I'll be gone You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on Don't think twice, it's all right It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe That light I never knowed An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe I'm on the dark side of the road Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say To try and make me change my mind and stay We never did too much talkin' anyway So don't think twice, it's all right It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal Like you never did before It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal I can't hear you any more I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road I once loved a woman, a child I'm told I give her my heart but she wanted my soul But don't think twice, it's all right I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe Where I'm bound, I can't tell But goodbye's too good a word, gal So I'll just say fare thee well I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind You could have done better but I don't mind You just kinda wasted my precious time But don't think twice, it's all right |

Help Me Make It Through the Night
|
|
Take the ribbon from your hair, Shake it loose and let it fall, Layin' soft upon my skin. Like the shadows on the wall. Come and lay down by my side Till the early morning light All I'm takin' is your time. Help me make it through the night. I don't care what's right or wrong, I don't try to understand. Let the devil take tomorrow. Lord, tonight I need a friend. Yesterday is dead and gone And tomorrow's out of sight. And it's sad to be alone. Help me make it through the night. I don't care what's right or wrong, (Yes, I do !) I don't try to understand. Let the devil take tomorrow. Lord, tonight I need a friend. Yesterday is dead and gone And tomorrow's out of sight. Lord, it's bad to be alone. Help me make it through the night. |
