Achy Breaky Heart

You can tell the world you never was my girl You can burn my clothes up when I'm gone You can tell your friends just what a fool I've been And laugh and joke about me on the phone You can tell my arms go back to the farm You can tell my feet to hit the floor Or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips They won't be reaching out for you no more (Chorus) But don't tell my heart My achy breaky heart I just don't think he'd understand And if you tell my heart My achy breaky heart He might blow up and kill this man You can tell your Ma I moved to Arkansas You can tell your dog to bite my leg Or tell your brother Cliff whose fist can tell my lip He never really liked me anyway Or tell your Aunt Louise, tell anything you please Myself already knows I'm not O.K. Or you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind It might be walking out on me today (Chorus) But don't tell my heart My achy breaky heart I just don't think he'd understand And if you tell my heart My achy breaky heart He might blow up and kill this man

Across the Borderline (J. Hiatt, R. Cooder, Dickinson)

There's a place, so I've been told, Every street is paved with gold And it's just across the borderline And when it's time to take your turn There's a lesson that you must learn You may lose more than you'll ever hope to find. (Chorus) And when you reach that broken promised land And all your dreams slip though your hand You have learned it's too late to change your mind Cause you pay the price to come so far Just to wind up where you are And you're still just across the borderline. Up and down The Rio Grande A thousand foot prints in the sand Reveal a secret no one can define The river rolls on like a breath In between our life and death Tell me who is next to cross that borderline. (Chorus) And when you reach that broken promised land And all your dreams slip though your hand You'll know it's too late to change your mind Cause you pay the price to come so far Just to wind up where you are And you're still just across the borderline.

Bad Moon Rising (J. Fogerty)

I see a bad moon rising I see troubles on the way I see earthquakes and lightning I see bad times today Don't go 'round tonight Well, it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise I hear hurricanes a-blowin' I know the end it's coming soon I fear rivers overflowing I hear the voice of rage and ruin Don't go 'round tonight Well, it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise Hope you got your things together Hope you're quite prepared to die Looks like we're in for nasty weather One eye is taken for an eye Don't go 'round tonight Well, it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise Don't go 'round tonight Well, it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise

Be My Baby (Spector, Greenwich, Barry)

The night we met I knew I needed you so And if I had the chance I'd never let you go. So won't you say you love me, I'll make you so proud of me. We'll make 'em turn their heads every place we go. So won't you, please, be my be my baby Be my little baby my one and only baby Say you'll be my darlin', be my be my baby Be my baby now, My one and only baby Wha-oh-oh-oh I'll make you happy, baby, just wait and see.

Be my be my baby Be my little baby. My one and only baby Oh, be my be my baby oh, my one and only baby Wha-oh-oh-oh-oh...

Blowin' in the Wind (B. Dylan)

How many roads must a man walk down Before you can call him a man Yes 'n how many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand Yes and how many times must the cannonballs fly Before they're forever banned The answer my friend is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind Yes and how many years can a mountain exist Before it is washed to the sea Yes and how many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free Yes and how many times can a man turn his head And pretend that he just doesn't see The answer my friend is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind Yes and how many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky Yes and how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry Yes and how many deaths will it take 'till he knows That too many people have died The answer my friend is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind

Boom Boom (J. Lee Hooker)

Boom boom boom boom I wanna shoot you right down Take you in my arms I'm in love with you A love that is true Boom boom boom boom I need you right now I mean right now I don't mean tomorrow I mean right now Come on come on I wanna give it up babe Shake it up babe Come on and shake Shake it up babe Come on come on shake it up babe I like the way you walk I like the way you talk When you walk that walk And you talk that talk You knock me out Right over my feet Shake it up babe Come on and shake Shake it up babe Come on come on shake it up babe Boom boom boom boom I wanna shoot you right down Take you in my arms I'm in love with you A love that is true

Brown Eyed Girl (V. Morrison)

Hey where did we go, Days when the rains came Down in the hollow, Playin' a new game, Laughing and a running, hey, hey Skipping and a jumping In the misty morning fog With our hearts a thumpin' And you, my brown eyed girl You my brown eyed girl. Whatever happened To Tuesday and so slow Going down the old mind With a transistor radio Standing in the sunlight laughing, Hiding behind a rainbow's wall, Slipping and sliding All along the water fall, With you, my brown eyed girl, You my brown eyed girl. Do you remember when We used to sing, Sha la la la la la la la la la La te da So hard to find my way, Now that I'm all on my own. I saw you just the other day My, how you have grown Cast my memory back there Lord Sometimes I'm overcome thinkin' 'bout it Laughing and a running, hey, hey Behind the stadium With you, my brown eyed girl You, my brown eyed girl Do you remember when We used to sing... etc

Down By The River (Neil Young)

Be on my side, I'll be on your side, baby There is no reason for you to hide It's so hard for me staying here all alone When you could be taking me for a ride Yeah, she could drag me over the rainbow, send me away Down by the river I shot my baby Down by the river, dead, oh, shot her dead, oh You take my hand, I'll take your hand Together we may get away This much madness is too much sorrow It's impossible to make it today Yeah, oh, yeah, she could drag me over the rainbow and send me away Down by the river I shot my baby Down by the river, dead, oh, shot her dead, oh

Chicken Lips and Lizzard Hips (Traditional)

When I was a little kid I never liked to eat Mom would put things on my plate And I'd dump 'em on her feet But then one day she made this soup I ate it all in bed I asked her what she put in it And this is what she said: Oh, chicken lips and lizard hips And alligator eyes Monkey legs and buzzard eggs And salamander thighs Rabbit ears and camel rears And tasty toenail pies Stir 'em all together And it's mama's soup surprise" I went into the bathroom And I stood beside the sink I said, "I'm feeling slightly ill And I think I'd like a drink" Mama said, "I've just the thing I'll get it in a wink It's full of lots of protein And vitamins, I think" Oh, chicken lips and lizard hips And alligator eyes Monkey legs and buzzard eggs And salamander thighs Rabbit ears and camel rears And tasty toenail pies Stir 'em all together And it's mama's soup surprise"

Follow That Dream (Wise, Wiseman)

If your heart is restless, from waiting so long If you're tired and weary, and you can't go on If a distant dream is callin' you Then there's just one thing you can do Follow that dream, wherever it may lead Come on follow that dream, to find the love you need Come on follow that dream Now I've been searching for a heart that's free Searching for someone, to search with me 'Cause I need a love, a love I can trust Together we' ll search for the things that come to us In dreams, wherever they may be Come on follow that dream to find the love you need Come on follow that dream Now every man has the right to live The right to a chance, to give what he has to give The right to fight for the things he believes For the things that come to him in dreams Yeah, follow that dream, wherever it may lead Come on follow that dream, to find the love you need Follow that dream, wherever it may lead Come on follow that dream, to find the love you need Come on follow that dream Well follow that dream Yeah come on and follow that dream Come on follow that dream, to find the love you need

Gypsy Woman (C. Mayfield)

From nowhere through the caravan Round the campfire light Lovely woman in motion With hair as dark as night Her eyes were like that of a cat in the dark That hypnotized me with love She was a gypsy woman She was a gypsy woman She was a gypsy woman She was a gypsy woman She was a gypsy woman She danced around and round Guitar's melody From the fire her face was aglow How she enchanted me I'd like to hold her near And kiss her hair and whisper in her ear I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman All through the caravan She was dancing with all the men Waiting for the rising sun Everyone was having fun Hated to see her go Knowing that she'll never know That I love her That I love her I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman

Highway 61 Revisited (B. Dylan)

Oh God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son" Abe says, "Man, you must be putting me on" God say, "No". Abe say, "What?" God say, "You can do what you want Abe, but The next time you see me comin' you better run" Well Abe says, "Where do you want this killing done?" God says, "Out on Highway 61" Well Georgia Sam he had a bloody nose Welfare Department they wouldn't give him no clothes He asked poor Howard where can I go Howard said there's only one place I know Sam said tell me quick man I got to run Ol' Howard just pointed with his gun And said that way down on Highway 61. Well Mack the Finger said to Louie the King I got forty red white and blue shoe strings And a thousand telephones that don't ring Do you know where I can get rid of these things And Louie the King said let me think for a minute son And he said yes I think it can be easily done Just take everything down to Highway 61. Now the fifth daughter on the twelfth night Told the first father that things weren't right My she said is much too white He said come here and step into the light he says hmm you're right Let me tell the second mother this has been done But the second mother was with the seventh son And they were both out on Highway 61. Now the rovin' gambler he was very bored He was tryin' to create a next world war He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor He said I never engaged in this kind of thing before But yes I think it can be very easily done We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun And have it on Highway 61.

I Ain't Got No Home (W. Guthrie)

I ain't got no home, I'm just a ramblin' around A hard working ramblin' man, I go from town to town The police make it hard wherever I may go And I ain't got no home in this world anymore I was farmin' on the shares and always I was poor My crops I laid into the banker's door And my wife took down and died upon the cabin floor And I ain't got no home in this world anymore I ain't got no home, I'm just a ramblin' around A hard working ramblin' man, I go from town to town The police make it hard wherever I may go And I Ain't Got No Home in this world anymore Now as I look around it's mighty plain to see This wide wicked world is a funny place to be The gamblin' man is rich and the workin' man is poor And I ain't got no home in this world anymore

I Fought the Law

I'm breakin' rocks in the hot sun I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won I needed money 'cause I had none I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won I left my baby and I feel so sad I guess my race is run But she's the best girl I've ever had I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won Robbin' people with a six-gun I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won I miss my baby and the good fun I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won I left my baby and I feel so sad I guess my race is run But she's the best girl I've ever had I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won

I'm a Coward (When it Comes to Love) (G.Washington, B.Springsteen/B. Springsteen)

Do you love me baby? Do you love me baby? I got a muscle of iron I got another muscle made of steel But when we start kissin' 'n' huggin' You may be the bravest man in the whole wide world But Buddy, that ain't enough I'm a coward when it comes to love I'm a coward when it comes to love I'm a coward when it comes to love

I Want You (B. Dylan)

The guilty undertaker sighs The lonesome orangegrinder cries The silver saxophone says I should refuse you The cracked bells and washed out horns Blow into my face with scorn But it's not that way I wasn't born to lose you I want you I want you I want you so bad Honey I want you The drunken politician leaps Upon the streets where mothers weep And the saviors who are fast asleep They wait for you And I wait for them to interrupt Me drinking from my broken cup And ask me to open up The gate for you Now all my fathers They've gone down True love They've been without it But all their daughters Put me down 'Cause I don't Think about it Well I return to the queen of spades And talk with my chamber maid She knows that I'm not afraid to Look at her She is good to me and there's Nothing she doesn't see She knows where I'd like to be But it doesn't matter Now your dancing child with the chinese suit He spoke to me I took his flute No I wasn't very cute to him Was I But I did it because he lied Because he took you for a ride And because time was on his side And because I Want you I want you I want you so bad Honey I want you

Little Queenie (C. Berry)

I got lumps in my throat When I saw her comin down the aisle I got the wiggles in my knees When she looked at me and sweetly smiled Well there she is again Standin over by the record machine Well she looks like a model On the cover of a magazine But she's too cute To be a minute over seventeen Meanwhile I was thinkin' Well if she's in the mood No need to break it I got the chance and I oughta take it If she can dance we can make it C'mon queenie let's shake it I said go, go, go, little queenie I said go, go, go, little queenie I said go, go, go, little queenie Won't someone tell me Who's the queen standin over by the record machine Well she looks like a model On the cover of a magazine But she's too cute To be a minute over seventeen I said go, go, go, little queenie I said go, go, go, little queenie I said go, go, go, little queenie Meanwhile, I was still thinkin, Well if it's a slow one We'll omit it If it's a rocker, then we'll get it If it's a good one, she'll admit it C'mon queenie, let's get with it I said go, go, go, little queenie I said go, go, go, little queenie I said go, go, go, little queenie I said go, go, go, little queenie I said go, go, go, little queenie I said go, go, go, little queenie

Many Rivers to Cross (J. Cliff)

There's so many rivers to cross And I can't seem to find my way home. Wandering, I'm lost As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover Many rivers to cross And it's only my wind that keeps me alive. I've been hurt, washed up for years And it's only my pride that lets me survive. And this loneliness won't leave me alone, It's such a drag to be on your own My baby left, and she wouldn't say why, Now all I do is cry I've got many rivers to cross And it's only my wind that keeps me alive I've got so many rivers to cross, Oh, so many rivers to cross

Mona (B. Diddley)

Life's good friends are hard to find And now one of mine is dead And things I should have said to her I shall say to you instead Mona mona So much of you to love Too much of you to take care of Mona mona You got too big to keep And too damn old to eat When you where just a football At your mama's side I reckon everyone figured you For a bar-b-que when you died And here I'm thinking about you Lying underground Pushing up a pine tree in my field Oh mona mona You can close your eyes I've got a twelve gauge surprise Waiting for you Since the day she passed away Everything's just the same Everywhere I go Somebody mentions her name Sometimes it's easiest to tell A friend a lie They don't understand The way I feel Oh mona mona So much of you to love To much of you to take care of So long Now she is gone and I am Left alone as you can see But ever since I caused her death I do miss her company

Plane Wreck at Los Gatos (Deportee) (W. Guthrie, M. Hoffman)

The crops are all in, and the peaches are rotting, The oranges are piled in their creseote dumps, You're flying them back to the Mexico border To pay all their money to wade back again. Chorus Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita, Adios mis amigos, Jesus and Maria. You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane, And all they will call you will be deportee. My father's own father he waded that river, They took all the money he made in his life. My brothers and sisters come working the fruit trees They rode the truck till they took down and died. (Chorus) Some of us are illegal and some are not wanted, Our work contracts out and we have to move on. Six hundred miles to that Mexico border, They chase us like outlaws, and rustlers, and thieves. (Chorus) We died in your hills; we died in your deserts; We died in your valleys and died on your plains; We died neath your trees, we died in your bushes, Both sides of the river, we died just the same. (Chorus) The skyplane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon, A fireball of lightning, it scarred all our hills, Who are these friends all scattered like dry leaves? The radio says they are just deportees. (Chorus) Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards? Is the is the best way we can grow our good fruit? To fall like dry leaves, to rot on the topsoil, And be known by no name except deportee? (Chorus)

Proud Mary (J. Fogerty)

Left a good job in the city, Workin for the man every night and day And I never lost one minute of sleepin', Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been. Big wheel a-keep on turnin' Proud Mary keep on burnin', Rollin', rollin', Rollin' on the river. Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis, Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans, But I never saw the good side of the city, Till I hitched a ride on a river boat queen. Big wheel a-keep on turnin, Proud Mary keep on burnin, Rollin, rollin, Rollin on the river. If you come down to the river, Bet you're gonna find some people who live, You don't have to worry, cause you have no money, People on the river are happy to give. Big wheel keep on turnin, Proud Mary keep on burnin, Rollin, rollin, Rollin on the river. Rollin, rollin, Rollin on the river.

The Ballad of Tom Joad (W. Guthrie)

Tom Joad he got out the old McAlester Pen He got his parole After four long years on a man killing charge Tom Joad come walkin' down the road, poor boy Tom Joad come walkin' down the road. Tom Joad, he met a truck drivin' man, And he caught him a ride Said "I just got loose from the McAlester Pen On a charge called homicide, On a charge called homicide." Well that truck rolled away in a cloud of dust Tommy turned his face toward home. He met Preacher Casy And they had a little drink. They found that his family was gone, They found that his family was gone. They found his mother's old fashioned shoe, And they found his daddy's hat. And they found little Muley, and Muley said, "They been tractored off by the cats, Tommy boy. They been tractored off by the cats." Tom Joad, he walked down to the neighbor's farm, And he found his family. He took Preacher Casy And he loaded up the car, And his mother said, "We got to get away, Tommy Boy." His mother said, "we got to get away." Now the twelve of the Joads, they made mighty heavy load, And Grampa Joad, he did cry. He picked up a handful of land in his hand. He said, "I'm stayin' with this farm till I die. I'm stayin' here till I die." They fed him short ribs and coffee and syrup. And Grampa Joad, he did die. They buried Grampa Joad by the side of the road, Buried Grandma on the California side. Buried Grandma on the California side. They stood on a mountain and they looked to the west, And it looked like the Promised Land. That bright green valley with a river runnin' through Held work for every single hand. They thought, "There'll be work for every single hand." The Joads road away to the Jungle camp And there they cook them some stew. And the hungry little kids said, "We'd like to have some, too, please. We'd like to have some, too." Now, the Deputy Sheriff fired loose at a man, And he shot a woman in the back. Before he could take his aim again, Preacher Casy dropped him in his tracks, Preach Casy dropped him in his tracks. Well, they handcuffed Casy And they took him to jail And then he got away. He met with Tom Joad on the old River Bride. And these few words he did say, poor boy. These few words he did say: "Well, I preached for Lord for a mighty long time, Preached about the rich and the poor. Us working folks gotta get together, Cause we ain't got a chance anymore, Tommy boy. We ain't got a chance anymore." Well, the Deputies come, And Tom and Casy, they did run To the bridge where the water run down. But the vigilante they hit Casy with a club, And they laid Preacher Casy on the ground, They laid Preacher Casy on the ground. Tom Joad, he grabbed that Deputy's club, And hit him over the head. Tom Joad took flight In the dark and rainy night, A deputy and Preacher lying dead, A deputy and preacher lying dead. Well, Tom run back to where his mama was alseep. And he woke her up out of the bed. And he kissed goodbye To the mother that he loved. And he said what Preacher Casy said, Tom Joad He said what Preacher Casy said. "Well, everybody might be just one big soul, Or it looks that way to me. Everywhere you look, in the day or the night, That's where I'm gonna be, Ma. That's where I'm gonna be. "Wherever little children are hungry and cry, Wherever people ain't free, Whevever men and women are fightin' for their rights, That's where I'm gonna be, Ma. That's where I'm gonna be."

Trapped (J. Cliff)

Well it seems like I'm caught up in your trap again And it seems like I'll be wearin' the same ol' chains Good will conquer evil and the truth will set you free Then I know someday I'll find the key Then I know somewhere I'll find the key Well it seem like I've been playin' the game way too long And it seems the game I played has made you strong Well when the game is over, I won't walk out a loser And I know that I'll walk out of here again And I know that someday I'll walk out of here again (Chorus) But now I'm trapped, oh yeah Trapped, oh yeah yeah Trapped, oh yeah Trapped, oh yeah Now it seems like I've been sleepin' in your bed too long And it seems like you've been meanin' to do me harm But I'll teach my eyes to see beyond these walls in front of me And someday I'll walk out of here again Yeah I know someday I'll walk out of here again (Chorus) But now I'm trapped, oh yeah Trapped, oh yeah yeah Trapped, oh yeah Trapped, oh yeah Well it seem like I've been playin' the game way too long And it seems the game I played has made you strong (Chorus) Because I'm Trapped, oh yeah Trapped, oh yeah yeah Trapped, oh yeah yeah Trapped, oh yeah I'm Trapped, oh yeah yeah Trapped, oh yeah yeah Trapped, oh yeah Trapped,.oh yeah I'm trapped.

Vigilante Man (W. Guthrie)

Rainy night down in the engine house Sleepin' just as still as a mouse A man came along and chase us out in the rain Well was that a vigilante man? Stormy days, we pass the time away Sleeping in some good warm place A cop come along we give him a little race Say was that a vigilante man? Well tell me why does a vigilante man Tell me why does a vigilante man Carry that sawed off shotgun in his hands To shoot his brothers and sisters down that no good vigilante man Well I ramble around from town to town Yeah I ramble around from town to town Yeah and they run us around like a wild herd of cattle lord is that your vigilante man? Well tell me why does a vigilante man Tell me why does a vigilante man Carry that club in his hands Would he beat an innocent man down that no good vigilante man

Who'll Stop the Rain (J. Fogerty)

Long as I remember, the rain's been pourin' down Clouds of mystery blowin, confusion on the ground Good men through the ages, tryin' to find the sun And I wonder, still I wonder Who'll stop the rain I went to Virginia seekin' shelter from the storm Caught up in a fable, I watched a tower grow Clouds like kingdoms crying, wrapped in golden chains Yet I wonder, still I wonder Who'll stop the rain Heard the singer singin', how we cheered for more The crowd had rushed together tryin' to keep warm Still the rain kept pourin', pourin' on my brain Yet I wonder, still I wonder Who'll stop the rain And I wonder, still I wonder Who'll stop the rain

Wooly Bully (Domingo)

Matty told Hatty about a thing she saw. Had two big fangs and a wooly jaw. Wooly bully, wooly bully. Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully. Hatty told Matty, īLetīs donīt take no chance. Letīs not be*L-seven*, come and learn to dance.ī Wooly bully, wooly bully Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully. Matty told Hatty, īThatīs the thing to do. Get you someone really to pull the wool with you.ī Wooly bully, wooly bully. Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.

You Never Can Tell (C. Berry)

It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well You could see that Pierre did truly love the madamoiselle And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell, "C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale, But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well "C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell "C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell They bought a souped-up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53, They drove it down to Orleans to celebrate the anniversary It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely madamoiselle "C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
