"John Hardy"

"John Hardy"



Now John Hardy was a desperate little man
Strapped on his guns every day
Shot down a man on the West Virginia line
You oughta seen John Hardy get away
Oughta seen John Hardy gettin' away

He run up to Virginia around the east stone bridge
Thought he would surely be free
And along came a marshall with a gun in his hand
Said Johnny come along with me boy
The judge wants to see you boy come along with me

Now John Hardy had himself a little woman
The dress she wore was blue
She hollered out to Johnny as he run on out of town
Johnny I'll be true to you boy
Johnny I'll be true to you

Well his legend had traveled from the east to the west
From the north to the southeastern towns
But when the sun comes up tomorrow they'll take John Hardy down
And show him to his hanging ground
They're gonna let John Hardy swing down

"John Henry"

"John Henry"



When John Henry was a little baby
Sittin' on his mama's knee
Well he picked up a feather and a piece of steel
And said that's gonna be the death of me
Lord, Lord, Lord that's gonna be the death of me
Well John Henry had a little woman
Name of Polly Ann
Well John got sick had to lay down on the bed
Polly drove steel like a man
Lord, Lord, Lord, Polly drove steel like a man

Well John Henry went up on the mountain
Well the mountain was sinkin' in
He said come on captain I know what I'm doin'
It ain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind
Lord, Lord, Lord, It ain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind

Well John Henry went up on the mountain
Lord the mountain was so high
He said we're gonna shake this steel drivin' down
Give me a cool drink of water before I die
Give me a cool drink of water before I die

Some say he came from England
Some say he came from Spain
But John Henry was nothin' but a Louisiana man
And he died with his hammer in his hand
Lord, Lord, Lord, he died with his hammer in his hand
Steel drivin' man, he died with his hammer in his hand
Lord ain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind etc. etc.

"Johnny Wants To Be A Star"

"Johnny Wants To Be A Star"



Now every day you'd see him out on the front porch with a guitar across his lap
He'd be a sittin' there a diggin' that transistor radio pickin' all them hit songs out
While the other kids would sit around and whittle on sticks
Little Johnny got his guitar down and he'd pick
Cause that's the way that Johnny used to get his kicks tryin' to figure out some new hot licks

Little Johnny wants to be a star little Johnny wants to be a star
All he wants to do is sing a little song and play music on a fine guitar
Ya hear him goin' mmhhmm hmm hmm mmhhmm hmm hmm
Leap in there Johnny

Now every time a show would come to town you'd find Johnny on a front row seat
He'd be a sittin' there a starin' all misty eyed never missin' one single beat
Now when the show was over he would go straight home
Get his guitar down and he would play it till dawn
A dreamin' of a time when he'd be grown and someday he'd have a show of his own

Little Johnny wants to be a star...

One day he picked up his songs and his guitar he kissed his little mama goodbye

"Just To Satisfy You"



Someone's gonna get hurt before we're through
Someone's gotta pay for all the things you do
How many will it take how many hearts have got to break
Just to satisfy you to satisfy you

Another love another fool to play your little game
Another love another fool they're all the same

Someone's a gonna get hurt before we're through
And don't be surprised that someone is you babe
How many will it take how many hearts have got to break
Just to satisfy you to satisfy you

Another love another fool to play your little game...

"Kentucky"

"Kentucky"



Kentucky you are the dearest land outside of heaven to me
Kentucky I miss your laurels and your redbud trees
When I die I want to rest upon a graceful mountain so high
For that is where God will look for me

Kentucky I miss the songs they're singing in the silvery moonlight
Kentucky how I miss those hound dogs chasing coons
I know that my mother dad and sweetheart all waiting for me
Kentucky I'll be returning soon

"Koko Joe"

"Koko Joe"



(Ko-Ko Joe Ko-Ko Joe Ko-Ko Joe Ko-Ko Joe)

Way up in Appaloosa County there's a place called Ko-ko ridge
Sets a right on the bend on the Etowah River where the water washed away the bridge
Cotton Mouth Country a river rats knee high
Way up around the back border lived a man that the river folks talked about
They said you better stay away from Ko-Ko Joe cause he's crazy no account

Ko-Ko Joe they called him the Etowah River swamp rat and folks despised him
Ko-Ko Joe he was an awfully peculiar man the river was his only friend
And the folks didn't understand the man Ko-Ko Joe

He eat monkey meat'n mashed potatoes he drunk a brew called the Mojo Claw
That he beat outta roots from ol' dead stumps on the banks of the Etowah
Made him walk a little funny made his breath smell funky
Well he never came across the river cause the folks didn't like him in town
They said his hair was long his clothes were dirty they didn't want him hanging around

Ko-Ko Joe they called him the Etowah River swamp rat and folks despised him...

Well it happened a year ago Sunday and they still talk about it today
How the dam broke loose on the Etowah River nearly washin' everybody away
Son the river water risin' washing up all the bushes
Well the headlines read how a mother said my son would have lost his life
But he was pulled from the mud in the Etowah River by the man y'all all despise

Ko-Ko Joe they called him the Etowah River swamp rat and folks despised him...

"Last Train To Clarksville"

"Last Train To Clarksville"



Take that last train to Clarksville and I'll meet you at the station
You can be there by four-thirty cause I've got your reservation
Don't be slow oh no no no I love you so
Because I'm leaving in the morning and I must see you again
We'll have one more night together till the morning brings my train
And I must go oh no no no I love you so
And honey I don't know if I'm ever coming home

I'll take that last train to Clarksville and I'll meet you at the station
We'll have time for coffee flavored kisses and a little conversation
No oh no no no I love you so
I'll take that the last train to Clarksville now I must hang up the phone
I can't hear you in this noisy railroad station all alone
I'm feelin' low oh no no no I love you so
And honey I don't know if I'm ever coming home

"Lay It On My Lady"

"Lay It On My Lady"



Now when I'm down and all dejected and everything's goin' wrong
I just call upon my mem'ry and start dialin' on the phone
Cause she knows when I'm in need of someone to lend an ear
To listen to the problems that my mind can only hear
And all I gotta do is let her know and she'll be there
And I just lay it on my lady what's on my mind
And I just lay it on my lady what's on my mind
Lay it on

Well she can talk me into seein' anything I want to see
And build me up to be anyone I want to be
She whispers in my ear the things I like to hear her say
And she turns all my blue Mondays into sunshiny days
And every time I need her I can always find a way
To just lay it on my lady what's on my mind
I just lay it on my lady what's on my mind

Well I can hide myself inside her arms and forget what's on my mind
Cause my troubles seem so far away that I lose all track of time
Nothin' seems to matter anymore
Least not half as much as it used to mean before
Cause when she's here my worries seem to walk right out the door
And I just lay it on my lady what's on my mind
Yes I just lay it on my lady what's on my mind
Lay it on my lady what's on my min

"Legend"

"Legend"



You heard about the legend of Jesse James
And John Henry just to mention some names
Well there's a truck drivin' legend in the south today
A man called Bandit from Atlanta GA

Every gear jammer knows his name
They swear he’s got ice water runnin' in his veins
A foot like lead and nerves like steel
He's gonna go to glory ridin' 18 wheels
Ah honey hush

Well he left Atlanta back in '63
Haulin' him a load up to Tennessee
He hit Monteagle and it started to rain
So hard he couldn't even see the passin' lane

Well he started down the grade when he lost a gear
He reached for the brakes found he had no air
The Monteagle grade is steep and long
And everybody that seen it thought the Bandit was gone
Listen now

Well his truck jack-knifed turned completely round
He was comin' down backwards bout the speed of sound
A lot of folks seen him and they all say
He had his head out the window yellin' clear the way

Well he got to the bottom safe and sound
Everybody asked Bandit how he made it down
He said folks when the truck picked up too much speed
I just run along beside it and drug my feet

You heard the legend of Jesse James...
Every gear jammer knows his name...

"Let's Sing Our Song"



Woman I can tell what's on your mind cause I can see the lovelight shine
You're wantin' me to settle down and quit all my ramblin' around
Oh woman this heart of mine just loves one day at a time
Tomorrow is a brand new song and I might be a movin' it on

So baby let's just sing our song while we're together
Let's don’t look no farther than today
Love me tonight just hold on tight and be my woman
And don’t let what we’re feelin' slip away

Baby you know that I ain't the kind
Who can settle down and walk on the line
And tomorrow I might be gone
So baby let's sing our song

Baby let's just sing our song while we're together...
Baby you know that I ain't the kind...
