Kashmir

Oh Let the sun beat down upon my face
and stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space,
to be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race,
this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit
and wait and all will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace,
whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate,
the story was quite clear
Oh,ooh

Oh, I been flying...mama, there ain't no denyin'
I've been flying, ain't no denyin', no denyin'

All I see turns to brown,
as the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand,
as I scan this wasted land
Trying to find, trying to find where I've been

Oh,pilot of the storm who leaves no trace,
like thoughts inside a dream
Who hid the path that led me to that place
of yellow desert screen
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon,
I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June,
when movin' through Kashmir

Oh, father of the four winds,
fill my sails, across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face,
along the straits of fear
Ohh

When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay - yeah

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down...
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there

Let me take you there. Let me take you there


Кašmir

O, neka sunce udara po mom licu i neka zvezde ispune moj san
Ja sam putnik i u vremenu i u prostoru, da bih bio tamo gde sam već bio
Da bih sedeo sa starcima plemenite rase, koje ovaj svet retko vidja
Oni razgovaraju o danima zbog kojih sede i cekaju, kad će sve biti otkriveno.

Priča i pesma sa jezika punih radosne gracioznosti, čiji zvuci miluju moje uši
Ali ni reč od onoga što sam čuo ne mogu prepričati, priča je bila prilično jasna
O, oo

O, leteo sam... mama, tu nema poricanja
Leteo sam, nema poricanja, nema poricanja

Sve što vidim, pretvara se u braon, dok sunce prži zemlju
i oči mi se pune peskom, dok pogledom prelećem opustošenu zemlju
pokusavajuci da nadjem, pokusavajuci na nadjem mesto na kojem sam bio

O, pilote oluje koji ne ostavljaš tragove, kao misli u snu
koji si sakrio stazu koja me dovela na to mesto žute, pustinjske zavese
moja Shangri-La ispod letnjg meseca, vraticu se
sigurno, kao prasina koja lebdi visoko u junu, kad se kreće kroz Kašmir.

O, oče sva četiri vetra, napuni moja jedra, preko mora godina
Bez ičega osim otvorenog lica, po prolazima straha
O

Kad sam ja, kad sam na putu, yeah
Kad vidim, kad vidm put, ti ostaješ - yeah

O, yeah-yeah, o yeah-yeah, kad sam tužan...
O, yeah-yeah, o yeah-yeah, kad sam tužan, tako tužan
o, baby, o, baby, hajde da te odvedem tamo

Hajde da te odvedem tamo. Hajde da te odvedem tamo.
 
Stairway to Heaven

There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.

There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the may queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.


Stepenice Za Nebo

Izvesna dama smatra
Da je zlato sve što sija
I kupuje stepenice za nebo
A kad tamo stigne zna da
Iako je sve zatvoreno
Lepa reč i gvozdena vrata otvara
I kupuje stepenice za nebo.

Na zidu je znak
Ali ona hoće da se osigura
Jer reči ponekad imaju dvostruko značenje
Na drvetu pored potoka
Ptica pevačica poje
Ponekad su nam sve misli pogrešne
I zapitam se,
I zapitam se

Postoji osećanje koje me obuzme
Kada pogledam ka zapadu,
I duša mi ište za odlaskom
U mislima videh
Prstenove dima kroz drveće
I glasove onih koji nemo posmatraju
I zapitam se,
I stvarno se zapitam

I šapuće se da će nas uskoro
Ako svi uskladimo melodiju
Frulaš povesti ka svrsi.
I promoliće se novi dan
Za one koje dugo čekaju
I smeh će ječati šumama

Ako se nešto komeša u žbunju
Ne uzbuđuj se
To samo kraljica maja čisti za sobom
Da, dva puta leže pred tobom
Ali na duže staze
Uvek možeš da promeniš put kojim hodaš
I to me natera da se zapitam

Zuji ti u glavi i to neće proći
Ako nisi znala
Frulaš te zove da mu se pridružiš
Draga damo, čuješ li kako vetar duva
I znaš li da
Tvoje stepenice leže na šapućućem vetru

I dok se izvijamo po putu
Senke su nam duže od bića
Tu hoda dama koju svi znamo
Koja isijava belu svetlost i pokazuje
Kako se i dalje sve vrti oko zlata
I ako dobro oslušnete
Na kraju uhvatite melodiju
Gde su svi jedno i jedno je sve
Biti stena i ne ljuljati se.

I ona kupuje stepenice za nebo.
 
Black Dog

Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move,
Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove.
Ah, ah, child, way you shake that thing,
Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.
Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way,
Watch your honey drip, can't keep away.

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, oh, oh
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, oh, oh

I gotta walk, can't stand still,
Got a flamin' heart, can't get my fill,
Eyes that shine burning red,
Dreams of you all through my head.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah...

Hey baby, oh baby, pretty baby,
Tell me would you do me now.
Hey baby, oh baby, pretty baby,
Move me while you groove me now

Take too long b'fore I found out
What people mean by down and out.
Spent my money, took my car,
Started tellin' her friend she' goin' be a star.
I don't know, but I've been told
A Big legged woman ain't got no soul

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, oh, ah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, oh, ah

All I ask for, All I pray,
Steady lonely woman gonna come my way.
Need a woman gonna hold my hand
tell me no lies, make me a happy man.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah...

Ahhhhhh!

Ooooh-ahhhh


Crni pas

Hej, hej, mama, rekoh način na koji se krećeš
Nateraće te da se oznojiš, nateraće te da uživaš.
Ah, ah, dete, način na koji mrdaš
Nateraće te da izgoriš, učiniće da te zaboli.
Hej, hej, mala, kada hodaš tim putem
Pripazi na svoj med, teško je odoleti.

O da, o da, oh, oh, oh
O da, o da, oh, oh, oh

Moram da prošetam, ne mogu da mirujem,
Imam zapaljivo srce, ne mogu ga zasititi,
Oči koje plamte crvenim sjajem
Snovi o tebi svuda u mojim mislima.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ....

Hej mala, o mala, lepa mala,
Reci da li bi me uzela sada.
Hej mala, o mala, lepa mala,
Pokreni me sada dok mi udovoljavaš

Nije potrajalo mnogo dok nisam otkrio
Šta ljudi misle pod tim puk'o skroz.
Potrošila mi novac, uzela auto
Počela govoriti prijateljici da će postati zvezda.
Ne znam, ali rečeno mi je da
Dugonoga žena nema dušu

O da, o da, oh, oh, oh
O da, o da, oh, oh, oh

Sve što tražim, sve za šta molim,
Mirna usamljena žena koja će doći meni.
Treba mi žena koja će me držati za ruku
Neće me lagati, učiniće me srećnim čovekom.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ....
 
Immigrant Song

Ah, ah

We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow

The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new land
To fight the horde and sing, and cry
Valhalla, I am coming

On we sweep with, with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore

Ah, ah

We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow

How soft your fields so green. Can whisper tales of gore
Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords

On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore

So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins
For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing

Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh
Ooh. Ah
Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh
Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh



Ах ах ах!

Ах ах ах!

Долазимо из земље леда и снега

Од поноћног сунца, где врели врели извори

Чекић богова

Возићемо наше бродове у нове крајеве

Борити се против хорде, певати и плакати

Валхалла, долазим!

Ми весламо

Наш једини циљ биће западна обала

Ах ах ах!

Ах ах ах!

Долазимо из земље леда и снега

Од поноћног сунца где врели врели извори

Колико су мека поља тако зелена

Може да шапуће приче о гори

Како смо умирили плимне осеке рата

Ми смо ваши господари

Ми весламо

Наш једини циљ биће западна обала

Сада би било боље да се зауставите и обновите све своје рушевине

Јер мир и поверење могу победити дан упркос губитку​
 
All of My Love

Should I fall out of love, my fire in the light
To chase a feather in the wind
Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight
There moves a thread that has no end.

For many hours and days that pass ever soon
The tides have caused the flame to dim
At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom
Is this to end or just begin?

All of my love, all of my love
All of my love to you, love.

All of my love, all of my love, oh
All of my love to you, love.

The cup is raised, the toast is made yet again
One voice is clear above the din
Proud Arianne, one word, my will to sustain
For me, the cloth once more to spin.

All of my love, all of my love, oh
All of my love for you, love.

All of my love, all of my love, yes,
All of my love to you, child.

Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time
His is the force that lies within
Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find
He is a feather in the wind.

All of my love, all of my love, oh
All of my love to you, love.

All of my love, ooh yes,
all of my love to you, now.

All of my love, all of my love.
All of my love, love,
sometimes, sometimes.

Sometimes, sometimes, oh love
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Ooh yeah, it's all my love.
All of my love, all of my love, to you, now.

All of my love, all of my love
all of my love to, to you, you, you, yeah
I get a little bit lonely.


Sva moja ljubav

Treba li da se rešim ljubavi, vatre moje na svetlosti
Da bih jurio perce na vetru
Unutar tog bleska što veo ushićenja tka
Kreće se nit bez kraja.

Jer za mnoge sate i dane što proleću
Talasi su oslabili plam
Bar ruka je čvrsta, ruka na tom razboju
Da li ovome dolazi kraj ili tek počinje?

Sva moja ljubav, sva moja ljubav, oh, sva moja ljubav je za tebe
Svu svoju ljubav, svu svoju ljubav, oh, svu svoju ljubav dajem tebi

Čaša je podignuta, zdravica ponovo održana
U toj graji jasno se čuje jedan glas
Ponosni arijevac, jedna reč, moja volja da se održim
Za mene, to sukno još jednom da se zavrti

Sva moja ljubav, sva moja ljubav, oh, sva moja ljubav je za tebe
Svu svoju ljubav, svu svoju ljubav, da, svu svoju ljubav dajem tebi, dete

Tvoje je sukno, moja je ruka što vreme kroji
Njegova je volja iza toga
Naša je vatra, sva toplina koju možemo naći
On je perce na vetru

Sva moja ljubav, sva moja ljubav, oh, sva moja ljubav je za tebe
Sva moja ljubav, oh, da, sva moja ljubav, oh, sva moja ljubav je za tebe
Sva moja ljubav, sva moja ljubav, sva moja ljubav, ljubav

Ponekad, ponekad, ponekad…. Ohhh ljubav
hej hej hej.. hej hej heej
ooh da

Je sve, sve, sve

Sva moja ljubav, sva moja ljubav, sva moja ljubav je za tebe sad
Sva moja ljubav, sva moja ljubav, sva moja ljubav za, za tebe, tebe, tebe, da

Ponekad sam pomalo usamljen,
samo malo, samo malo, samo malo usamljen…
 
"Good Times Bad Times"

In the days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man,
Now I've reached that age, I've tried to do all those things the best I can.
No matter how I try, I find my way into the same old jam.

[Chorus:]
Good Times, Bad Times, you know I've had my share;
When my woman left home for a brown eyed man,
Well, I still don't seem to care.

Sixteen, I fell in love with a girl as sweet as could be,
It only took a couple of days 'til she was rid of me.
She swore that she would be all mine and love me till the end,
But when I whispered in her ear, I lost another friend, oooh.

[Chorus]

[Solo]

[Chorus]


I know what it means to be alone, I sure do wish I was at home.
I don't care what the neighbors say, I'm gonna love you each and every day.
You can feel the beat within my heart.
Realize, sweet babe, we ain't ever gonna part.
 
"You Shook Me"

You know you shook me. You shook me all night long.
You know you shook me, baby. You shook me all night long.
You shook me so hard, baby. Baby, baby, please come home.

I have a bird that whistles and I have birds that sing. [x2]
I have a babe, won't do nothing... oh, oh, buy a diamond ring.

You know you shook me, babe. You shook me all night long.
I know you really, really did, babe.
I said you shook me, baby. You shook me all night long.
You shook me so hard, baby.
Babe, you shook me all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all night long.
 
"Dazed And Confused"

Been dazed and confused for so long it's not true.
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Lots of people talkin', few of them know
Soul of a woman was created below, yeah.

You hurt and abuse tellin' all of your lies.
Run 'round sweet baby, Lord how they hypnotize.
Sweet little baby, I don't know where you've been.
Gonna love you baby, here I come again.

Ev'ry day I work so hard bringin' home my hard-earned pay.
Try to love you baby, but you push me away.
Don't know where you're goin', I don't know just where you've been;
Sweet little baby, I want you again.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Oh, yeah! Alright!
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Oh don't leave me so confused, no! Oh, baby!

Been dazed and confused for so long, it's not true,
Wanted a woman never bargained for you.
Take it easy baby, let them say what they will.
(Will your) tongue wag so much when I send you the bill?

Ooh, yeah! Alright!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
 
"Your Time Is Gonna Come"

Lyin', cheatin', hurtin, that's all you seem to do.
Messin' around with every guy in town,
Puttin' me down for thinkin' of someone new.
Always the same, playin' your game,
Drive me insane, trouble is gonna come to you,
One of these days and it won't be long,
You'll look for me but baby, I'll be gone.
This is all I gotta say to you woman:

[Chorus]
Your Time Is Gonna Come [X4]

Made up my mind to break you this time,
Won't be so fine, it's my turn to cry.
Do what you want, I won't take the brunt.
It's fadin' away, can't feel you anymore.
Don't care what you say 'cause I'm goin' away to stay,
Gonna make you pay for that great big hole in my heart.
People talkin' all around,
Watch out woman, no longer
Is the joke gonna be on my heart.
You been bad to me woman,
But it's coming back home to you.

[Chorus]
 
"Communication Breakdown"

Hey, girl, stop what you're doin'!
Hey, girl, you'll drive me to ruin.
I don't know what it is that I like about you, but I like it a lot.
Won't let me hold you, Let me feel your lovin' charms.

[Chorus]
Communication Breakdown, It's always the same,
I'm having a nervous breakdown, Drive me insane!

Hey, girl, I got something I think you ought to know.
Hey, babe, I wanna tell you that I love you so.
I wanna hold you in my arms, yeah!
I'm never gonna let you go,'Cause I like your charms.

[Chorus]
[Chorus]
 
"I Can't Quit You Baby"

I Can't Quit You, Baby, so I'm gonna put you down for awhile.
I said, I can't quit you, baby, I guess I gotta put you down for awhile.
Said you messed up my happy home, made me mistreat my only child.

Said you know I love you, baby, my love for you I could never hide.
Oh, you know I love you, baby, my love for you I could never hide.
When I feel you near me little girl, I know you are my one desire.

[x2:]
When you hear me moaning and groaning, baby
You know it hurts me deep down inside.

Oh, when you hear me holler baby, you know you're my one desire. Yes, you are.
 
"Whole Lotta Love"

You need coolin', baby, I'm not foolin'
I'm gonna send you back to schoolin'
Way down inside, honey, you need it
I'm gonna give you my love
I'm gonna give you my love

Want a whole lotta love
Want a whole lotta love
Want a whole lotta love
Want a whole lotta love

You've been learnin', baby, I've been yearnin'
All them good times, baby, baby, I've been learnin'

"What Is And What Should Never Be"

And if I say to you tomorrow,
"Take my hand, child, come with me.
It's to a castle I will take you,
Where what's to be, they say will be."

Catch the wind,
See us spin,
Sail away,
Leave today,
Way up high in the sky.

But the wind won't blow,
You really shouldn't go,
It only goes to show
That you will be mine
By takin' our time.

And if you say to me tomorrow,
Oh what fun it all would be.
Then what's to stop us, pretty baby,
But what is and what should never be.

Catch the wind,
See us spin,
Sail away,
Leave today,
Way up high
In the sky.

But the wind won't blow,
You really shouldn't go,
It only goes to show
That you will be mine
By takin' our time.

So if you wake up with the sunrise,
And all your dreams are still as new,
And happiness is what you need so bad,
Girl, the answer lies with you.

Catch the wind,
See us spin,
Sail away,
Leave today,
Way up high
In the sky.

But the wind won't blow,
You really shouldn't go,
It only goes to show
That you will be mine,
By takin' our time.

Oh the wind won't blow
And we really shouldn't go
And it only goes to show.

Catch the wind,
We're gonna see it spin,
We're gonna sail,
Leave today

Everybody I know seems to know me well
But they're never gonna know that I'm gonna move like hell.

Ah, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.
Oh, I love ya!
Baby, baby, babe!
Oh, I love ya.

You know, know, know, know, know, know, come on now.
 
"The Lemon Song"

I should have quit you long time ago, long time ago
I wouldn't be here, my children, down on this killin' floor

I should have listened, baby, to my second mind [2x]
Every time I go away and leave you, darling,
You send me the blues way down the line

Baby, yeah, treat me right, baby
My, my, my, my
I take it down little bit
Give it to me baby keep me satisfied
Tryna worry 'bout me, baby
But I'd never get you with myself
Keep on worrying baby,
Can't keep you satisfied
Let me tell you baby
You ain't nothing but a two-bit, no-good jive

I went to sleep last night,
I worked as hard as I can
I bring home my money,
You take my money, give it to another man

I should have quit you baby,
Oh such a long time ago
I wouldn't be here with all my troubles,
Down on this killing floor

Squeeze me baby,
'Til the juice runs down my leg, oh
Please, squeeze me baby,
Until the juice runs down my leg
The way you squeeze my lemon
I'm gonna fall right out of bed, bed, bed, babe yeah

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Hey, babe, babe, babe, babe

I'm gonna leave my children down on this killing floor
 
"Thank You"

If the sun refused to shine,
I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea,
There will still be you and me.

Kind woman, I give you my all.
Kind woman, nothing more.

Little drops of rain
Whisper of the pain.
Tears of love lost in the days gone by.

My love is strong,
With you there is no wrong.
Together we shall go until we die.

My, my, my.

An inspiration's what you are to me.
Inspiration, look, see.

And so today my world—it smiles,
Your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
Thanks to you it will be done,
For you to me are the only one.

Alright, yeah

Happiness: no more be sad,
Happiness: I'm glad.

If the sun refused to shine,
I would still be loving you.
Mountains crumble to the sea,
There will still be you and me.
 
"Heartbreaker"

Hey fellas, have you heard the news?
You know that Annie's back in town?
It won't take long just watch and see how the fellas lay their money down.

Her style is new but the face is the same as it was so long ago,
But from her eyes a different smile like that of one who knows.

Well, it's been ten years and maybe more since I first set eyes on you.
The best years of my life gone by, here I am alone and blue.

Some people cry and some people die by the wicked ways of love;
But I'll just keep on rollin' along with the grace from the Lord above.

People talkin' all around 'bout the way you left me flat,
I don't care what the people say, I know where their jive is at.

One thing I do have on my mind, if you can clarify please do,
It's the way you call me another guy's name when I try to make love to you.

I try to make love but it ain't no use.
Give it to me
Give it

Work so hard I couldn't unwind, get some money saved;
Abuse my love a thousand times, however hard I tried.

Heartbreaker, your time has come, can't take your evil way;
Go away, heartbreaker.

Heartbreaker!
Heartbreaker!
Heart!
 
"Ramble On"

Leaves are falling all around,
It's time I was on my way.
Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay.

But now it's time for me to go.
The autumn moon lights my way.
For now I smell the rain,
And with it pain,
And it's headed my way.

Sometimes I grow so tired,
But I know about one thing I got to do

Ramble on,
And now's the time, the time is now to sing my song.
I'm goin' 'round the world, I got to find my girl,
On my way.
I've been this way ten years to the day,
Ramble on,
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.

Got no time for spreadin' roots,
The time has come to be gone.
And though our health we drank a thousand times,
It's time to ramble on

Ramble on,
And now's the time, the time is now to sing my song.
I'm goin' 'round the world, I got to find my girl,
On my way.
I've been this way ten years to the day,
I gotta ramble on,
I gotta find the queen of all my dreams.

I tell you no lie

Mine's a tale that can't be told,
My freedom I hold, dear.
How years ago in days of old,
When magic filled the air.

Just in the darkest depths of Mordor
I met a girl so fair.
But Gollum and the evil one
Crept up and slipped away with her, her, her, her, her, yeah.

I ain't nothing I can do no

I guess I'll keep on rambling.
I'm gonna sing my song.
I gotta find my baby.
I'm gonna ramble on, sing my song.
Gonna work my way, going round the world,
Baby, baby
Ramble on baby
Do do do do do my baby
Ramble on baby
Do do do do do my baby

I can't stop this feelin' in my heart
Every time I think of you I think us apart

I gotta keep searchin' for my baby.
I gotta keep a-searchin' for my baby.

I can't find my bluebird!
I listen to my bluebird sing,
But I, I can't find my bluebird!

I keep rambling.
I keep rambling.
 
"Bring It On Home"

Baby, baby
I'm gonna bring it on home to you
I've got my ticket, got that load
Got up, gone higher, all aboard
Take my seat, right way back
I watch this train roll down the track
I'm gonna bring it on home
Bring it on home to you
Watch out, watch out, man move

Try to tell you, baby
What you tryin' to do?
Tryin' to love me, baby
Love some other men too

Bring it on home
Bring it on home

Went a little walk downtown,
Messed and got back late
Found a note there waiting,
It said, "Daddy, I just can't wait."

Bring it on home
Bring it on home
Bring it back home
Bring it back home to me, baby

Tell you, pretty baby,
You love to mess me 'round
I'm gonna give you lovin', baby,
Gonna move you out of town

Bring it on home

Sweetest little baby daddy ever saw
I'm gonna give you lovin', baby,
I'm gonna give you more

Bring it on home
Bring it on home
Bring it on home
Alright

Bring it on home
Bring it on home to you
 
"Friends"

Bright light almost blinding, black night still there shining,
I can't stop, keep on climbing, looking for what I knew.

Had a friend, she once told me, "You got love, you ain't lonely, "
Now she's gone and left me only looking for what I knew.

Mmm, I'm telling you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now,
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy just...

Met a man on the roadside crying, without a friend, there's no denying,
You're incomplete, they'll be no finding looking for what you knew.

So anytime somebody needs you, don't let them down, although it grieves you,
Some day you'll need someone like they do, looking for what you knew.

Mmm, I'm telling you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now,
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy just...

I'm telling you now, the greatest thing you ever can do now,
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now,

It's very easy... [x4]
 
"Celebration Day"

Her face is cracked from smiling, all the fears that she's been hiding,
And it seems pretty soon everybody's gonna know.
And her voice is sore from shouting, cheering winners who are losing,
And she worries if their days are few and soon they'll have to go.

[Chorus]
My, my, my, I'm so happy, I'm gonna join the band,
We are gonna dance and sing in celebration, We are in the promised land.

She hears them talk of new ways to protect the home she lives in,
Then she wonders what it's all about when they break down the door.

Her name is Brown or White or Black, you know her very well,
You hear her cries of mercy as the winners toll the bell.

[Chorus]
There is a train that leaves the station heading for your destination,
But the price you pay to nowhere has increased a dollar more.
Yes, it has!
And if you walk you're gonna get there though it takes a little longer,
And when you see it in the distance you will wring your hands and moan.
 
"Out On The Tiles"

As I walk down the highway all I do is sing this song,
And a train that's passin' my way helps the rhythm move along.
There is no doubt about the words are clear,
The voice is strong, is oh so strong.

I'm just a simple guy, I live from day to day.
A ray of sunshine melts my frown and blows my blues away,
There's nothing more that I can say but on a day like today
I pass the time away and walk a quiet mile with you.

[Chorus]
All I need from you is all your love,
All you got to give to me is all your love,
All I need from you is all your love,
All you got to give to me is all your love.
Oooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, oh yeah.

I'm so glad I'm living and gonna tell the world I am,
I got me a fine woman and she says that I'm her man,
One thing that I know for sure gonna give her all the loving
Like nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody can.

Standing in the noonday sun trying to flag a ride,
People go and people come, see my rider right by my side,
It's a total disgrace, they set the pace, it must be a race
And the best thing I can do is run.

[Chorus]
 
"Gallows Pole"

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,
I think I see my friends coming, Riding many a mile.
Friends, did you get some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my dear friends, To keep me from the Gallows Pole?
What did you bring me to keep me from the Gallows Pole?

I couldn't get no silver, I couldn't get no gold,
You know that we're too damn poor to keep you from the Gallows Pole.
Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,
I think I see my brother coming, riding many a mile.
Brother, did you get me some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my brother, to keep me from the Gallows Pole?

Brother, I brought you some silver, yah
I brought a little gold, I brought a little of everything
To keep you from the Gallows Pole.
Yes, I brought you to keep you from the Gallows Pole.

Hangman, hangman, turn your head awhile,
I think I see my sister coming, riding many a mile, mile, mile, mile.
Sister, I implore you, take him by the hand,
Take him to some shady bower, save me from the wrath of this man,
Please take him, save me from the wrath of this mad man.

Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile,
Tell me that I'm free to ride,
Ride for many a mile, mile, mile.

Oh, yes, you got a fine sister, She warmed my blood from cold,
She brought my blood to boiling hot, To keep you from the Gallows Pole, Pole, Pole, Pole, yeah, yeah
Your brother brought me silver, Your sister warmed my soul,
But now I laugh and pull so hard And see you swinging on the Gallows Pole, yah
But now I laugh and pull so hard And see you swinging on the Gallows Pole, Pole, Pole

Swingin' on the Gallows Pole! [x3]
Swingin' on the Gallows Pole, Pole, Pole, Pole, Pole, Pole, Pole, yeah
 
"That's The Way"

I don't know how I'm gonna tell you,
I can't play with you no more,
I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me,
My friend, the boy next door.
I can't believe what people saying,
You're gonna let your hair hang down,
I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long,
You're in the darker side of town.

And when I'm out I see you walking,
Why don't your eyes see me,
Could it be you've found another game to play,
What did mama say to me.

That's the way, oh,
That's the way it ought to be,
Yeah, yeah, mama say
That's the way it ought to stay.

And yesterday I saw you standing by the river,
And weren't those tears that filled your eyes,
And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying,
Had they got you hypnotized?

And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers,
But all that lives is born to die.
And so I say to you that nothing really matters,
And all you do is stand and cry.

I don't know what to say about it,
When all you ears have turned away,
But now's the time to look and look again at what you see,
Is that the way it ought to stay?

That's the way...
That's the way it oughtta be
Oh don't you know now, mama said..
That's the way it's gonna stay, yeah.
 
"Hats Off To (Roy) Harper"

When I done quit hollerin' baby, I believe I'll shake 'em on down.
Get my baby, won't be late, You know by that I mean, ah, seconds late.
Aha, must I holler, Must I shake 'em on down?
Well I've done quit hollerin', baby, I believe I'll shake 'em on down. Shake!

Well, I ain't no monkey; I can't climb no tree.
No brown skin woman gonna make no monkey out of me.
Yeah, I ain't no monkey, Sure can't climb no tree.
Ah, I've been mistreated, babe, I believe I'll shake 'em on down.
Well, I've been mistreated babe, I believe I'll shake 'em on down.

Put in your nightshirt Mama, we gonna shake 'em down.
Must I holler? Must I, must I, must I shake 'em on down?
Ooh, I done been mistreated, baby, I believe I'll shake 'em on down.
Gave my baby twenty dollar bill,
If that don't shake her, Sure my shot-, shot-, shotgun will,
Yeah, I gave my baby twenty dollar bill.
Well, if that don't get that woman, I'm sure my shotgun will.

I'm gonna shoot her now.
 
"Key To The Highway / Trouble In Mind"

I got the key to the highway, and I'm billed out and bound to go,
I'm gonna keep on walkin' this highway, cause walkin' is most too slow.
I eat my breakfast, in California, I eat my dinner, in Carolina,
Wooh, I'm gonna keep on, keep on walkin' this highway, yeah,
'Till I reached the end of the line, walk on, yeah.

[Solo]

Show the movie, yeah, Lordy mama keeps on shining, shining,
And the good, good, good Lord, having a ball,
Everybody knows my pain, a wantly bear,
He's to eat, and walk you Lord.

So trouble in mind, yeah,
Lordy mama I'm blue, yeah,
And I won't, I won't, I won't be blue, always
Oh yeah, the sun's gon' shine, sun gon' shine in my backdoor,
Some on rainy day, oh yeah.
