DEPORTEE

DEPORTEE


The crops are all in, the peaches are rottingThe oranges are piled in their creosote dumpsThey?re flying you back to the mexico borderTo pay all your money to wade back againMy father?s own father, he waded that riverThey took all the money he made in his lifeMy brothers and sisters they work in the fruit treesThey rode the truck till they took down and diedGood-bye to my juan, good-bye rosalitaAdios mes amigos, jesus e mariaYou won?t have a name when you ride the big airplaneAnd all they will call you will be deporteeSome of us are illegal, and some are not wantedOur work contract?s out and we have to move onSix hundred miles to the mexican borderThey chase us like rustlers, like outlaws, like thieves.We died in your hills. we died on your deserts.We?ve died in your mountains, and died on your plains.We?ve died ?neath your trees, and we?ve died in your bushes.Both sides of the river, we?ve died just the same.Good-bye to my juan, good-bye rosalitaAdios mes amigos, jesus e mariaYou won?t have a name when you ride the big airplaneAnd all they will call you will be deporteeThe skyplane caught fire over los gatos canyonA fireball of lightning that shook all our hillsWho were all these dear friends all scattered like dry leaves? The radio says they were just deportees.Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards? And is this the best way we can grow our good fruit? To fall like dry leaves and rot on the top soil,And be known by no name except deportee.Good-bye to my juan, good-bye rosalitaAdios mes amigos, jesus e mariaYou won?t have a name when you ride the big airplaneAnd all they will call you will be deportee

DETROIT MEDLEY

DETROIT MEDLEY


Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress

Devil with the blue dress on

Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress

Devil with the blue dress on



Fe, fe, fi, fi, fo, fo, fum

Look at Molly now, here she come

Wearin' a wig, hat, shades to match

High healed sneakers and an aligator hat

Wearin' her diamons, wearin' a big ring

She got rasors on her fingers and everything



Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress

Devil with the blue dress on

Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress

Devil with the blue dress on



Wearin' her perfume, Chanel number five

Got to be the finest looking woman alive

She looks so pretty every time she walks by

The boys are too nervous, even to say hi

Not too skinny, not too fat

She's a real humdinger and I like it like that



Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress

Devil with the blue dress on

Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress

Devil with the blue dress on



Good golly Miss Molly, sure like to ball

Good golly Miss Molly, sure like to ball

When you're rockin' and rollin'

Don't you hear your mama call



From the early, early morning to the early, early night

See Miss Molly rockin' in the house of blue light



Good golly Miss Molly, sure like to ball

When you're rockin' and rollin'

Don't you hear your mama call



Well c., c.c. rider

Come on see just what you've done

Well I said c., c.c. rider

Come on see just what you've done

You made me loving you

And now, now, now your man has come



Well now I'm goin' c.c. rider

Goin' to see my baby c.c. rider

And I won't be back c.c. rider

DEVILS & DUST

DEVILS & DUST


I got my finger on the trigger
But I don't know who to trust
When I look into your eyes
There's just devils and dust
We're a long, long way from home, Bobbie
Home's a long, long way from us
I feel a dirty wind blowing
Devils and dust

I got God on my side
And I'm just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a powerful thing, baby
It can turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
And fill it with devils and dust

Well I dreamed of you last night
In a field of blood and stone
The blood began to dry
The smell began to rise
Well I dreamed of you last night, Bobbie
In a field of mud and bone
Your blood began to dry
And the smell began to rise

We've got God on our side
We're just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a powerful thing, baby
It'll turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust
It'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust

[Harmonica solo]

Now every woman and every man
They wanna take a righteous stand
Find the love that God wills
And the faith that He commands
I've got my finger on the trigger
And tonight faith just ain't enough
When I look inside my heart
There's just devils and dust

Well I've got God on my side
And I'm just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a dangerous thing
It can turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust
Yeah it'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust

[Harmonica solo]

DOES THIS BUS STOP AT 82ND STREET

DOES THIS BUS STOP AT 82ND STREET


Hey bus driver keep the change, bless your children, give them names,
Don't trust men who walk with canes, drink this and you'll grow wings on your feet
Broadway Mary, Joan Fontaine, advertiser on a downtown train
Christmas crier bustin' cane, He's in love again.

Where dock worker's dreams mix with panther's schemes to someday own the rodeo
Tainted women in Vistavision perform for out-of-state kids at the late
show.

Wizard imps and sweat sock pimps, interstellar mongrel nymphs
Rex said that lady left him limp. Love's like that (sure it is).

Queen of diamonds, ace of spades newly discovered lovers of the everglades
They take out a full page ad in the trades to announce their arrival

And Mary Lou she found out how to cope, she rides to heaven on a gyroscope
The Daily News asks her for the dope
She says "Man, the dope's that there's still hope"

Senorita, Spanish rose, wipes her eyes and blows her nose
Uptown in Harlem she throw a rose to some lucky, young matador.

DON'T LOOK BACK

DON'T LOOK BACK


Cold rain running down the front of my shirt
I'm flat on my back wheels in the dirt
Angel makes her face up out on Baker Street
She's straddling the shifter in my front seat
There's nothing to lose, it's a heartbreak
The deck's stacked
So put your foot to the floor and darling don't look back

We're making night tracks through the blazing rain
Blowin' pistons, workin' the fast lane
Red line burnin', pocket's full of cash
Angel writes her name in lipstick on my dash
There's nothing to lose
It's a bad break but baby we're backed
Tonight we'll blow off the doors and honey we won't look back
We held it in our hearts in the pourin' rain
We made it through the heart of a hurricane
We tore it apart and put it together again

Well angel, won't you believe in love for me
C'mon and meet me tonight, darling, out in the street
We'll move with the city in the dark
You got to walk, it talk, it in your heart
There's nothin' to lose it's a heartache
The deck's stacked
So put your foot to the floor, darling
Tonight we'll blow off the doors, baby
We're gonna even the score
And honey we won't look back

DOWNBOUND TRAIN

DOWNBOUND TRAIN


I had a job, I had a girl
I had something going mister in this world
I got laid off down at the lumber yard
Our love went bad, times got hard
Now I work down at the carwash, where all that ever does is rain
Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train

She just said "Joe I gotta go, we had it once
We ain't got it anymore"
She packed her bags left me behind
She bought a ticket on the Central Line
Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining
I feel her kiss in the misty rain
And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train

Last night I heard your voice
You were crying, crying
You were so alone
You said your love had never died
You were waiting for me at home
Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods
I ran till I thought my chest would explode
There in the clearing, beyond the highway
In the moonlight, our wedding house shone
I rushed through the yard
I burst through the front door
My head pounding hard

Up the stairs I climbed
The room aws dark, our bed was empty
Then I heard that long whistle whine
And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried

Now I swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang
Knocking down them cross ties
Working in the rain
Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train

DRIFT AWAY

DRIFT AWAY


Day after day, I'm more confused

Yet I look for the light through the pourin' rain

You know that's a game that I hate to loose

And I'm feelin' the strain

Ain't it a shame.



Give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock n roll

And drift away.

Give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock n roll

And drift away.



Sometimes I think I'm wastin' my time

I don't understand the things I do

The world outside looks so unkind

And I'm countin' on you

To carry me through.



Give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock n roll

And drift away.

Give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock n roll

And drift away.



And when my mind is free

You know a melody can move me

And when I'm feelin' blue

The guitar's comin' through

To soothe me.



Thanks for the joy (for 20 years) you brought me

I (sure) believe in your song

Your rhythm and rhyme and harmony

You help me along

Makin' me strong.



Give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock n roll

And drift away.

Give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock n roll

And drift away.



OH HO AH HO..

Give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock n roll

And drift away.

HEY, HEY,HEY, YA

Give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock n roll

And drift away.

Na, Na, now won't ya

Won't ya take, OH HA ..take me.

DRIVE ALL NIGHT

DRIVE ALL NIGHT


When I lost you honey sometimes I think
I lost my guts too
And I wish God would send me a word send me something Im afraid to lose
Lying in the heat of the night like prisoners all our lives
I get shivers down my spine and all
I wanna do is hold you tight

(chorus)
I swear I'll drive all night just to buy you some shoes
And to taste your tender charms
And I just wanna sleep tonight again in your arms

Tonight there's fallen angels and they're waiting for us down in the street
Tonight there's calling strangers, hear them crying in defeat.
Let them go,
Let them go,
Let them go,
Do their dances of the dead (letem go right ahead)
You just dry your eyes girl,
And cmon cmon cmon lets go to bed,
Baby, baby, baby

(chorus)

There's machines and there's fire waiting on the edge of town
They're out there for hire but baby they can't hurt us now
Cause youve got,
Youve got,
Youve got,
Youve got my love,
Youve got my love
Through the wind,
Through the rain,
The snow, the wind,
The rain
Youve got,
Youve got my,
My love heart and soul
