"Streets Of Laredo (Cowboy's Lament)"

"Streets Of Laredo (Cowboy's Lament)"

As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
As I walked out in Laredo one day
I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay

So, beat the drum slowly, play the fife lowly
Play the death march as they carry me on
Take me to green valley, lay the sod o'er
I'm shot in the chest and I'm dying today

Let sixteen gamblers carry my coffin
Let sixteen cowbows sing me a song
Take me to green valley, lay the sod o'er
For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong

So, beat the drum slowly, play the fife lowly
Play the death march as they carry me on
Take me to green valley, lay the sod o'er
I'm shot in the chest and I'm dying today...

"Summertime Blues"

"Summertime Blues"

Well, there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues.

Well, I'm gonna raise a fuss
And I'm gonna raise a holler
About workin' all summer
Just to try to raise a dollar
Everytime I call my baby
Just to try to get a date
My boss says "No, dice, son
You gotta work late"

Sometime I wonder
What I'm gonna do
There ain't no cure
For the summertime blues

Well, my mom and pop told me
Son, you got to make some money
If you want to use the car
To go a ridin' next Sunday
Well, I didn't go to work
I told my boss I was sick
Now, "You can't use the car
'Cause you didn't work a lick"

Sometime I wonder
What I'm gonna do
There ain't no cure
For the summertime blues

I'm Gonna take two weeks
Gonna have a fine vacation
Gonna take my problem
To the United Nations
Well, I called my congressman
He said quote
"Id love to help you, son
But you're too young to vote"

Sometime I wonder
What I'm gonna do
There ain't no cure
For the summertime blues...

"Sweet Rosie Jones"

"Sweet Rosie Jones"

I met her out in Oklahoma
Down where the old Red River flows
I vowed my love to her forever
She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones.

We walked alone down by the river
Just as the sun was sinking low
And in her eyes I saw big trouble
Like the muddy waters down below.

Her lips were soft and sweet as honey
Her hair was bright as yellow as gold
Her cheeks were red as summer roses
She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones.

And then one day a tall dark stranger
With hair as black as winter coal
Rode into town as night was falling
And there he met my Rosie Jones.

I woke next morning just after sunup
To find a note from my Rosie's hand
And it read I'd rather die than ever hurt you
But I'm in love with that tall dark man.

So now I walk alone down by the river
Where my sweet Rosie used to stroll
And soon I'm gonna join those deep dark waters
For I can't live without Rosie Jones.

Her lips were soft and sweet as honey
Her hair was bright as yellow as gold
Her cheeks were red as summer roses
She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones...

"Sweethearts In Heaven"

"Sweethearts In Heaven"

If the angels have sweethearts
Then I want you for mine
I'd be a tramp and sleep in the street
Or I'd be a beggar with rags on my feet.

If I knew for sure
When the time comes to part
Someday in heaven
You'd be my sweetheart.

Will there be sweethearts in heaven
After we've crossed the line
If the angels have sweethearts
Then I want you for mine.

(If I should go first and leave you behind
To face life alone bear this in mind
I'll be a waitin', if heaven's my fate
To take you by the hand
Just inside the pearly gates.)

Will there be sweethearts in heaven
After we've crossed the line
If the angels have sweethearts
Then I want you for mine...

"Swinging Doors"

"Swinging Doors"

This ol' smoke filled bar is somethin' I'm not used to
But I gave up my home to see you satisfied
And I just called to let you know where I'll be livin'
Well, it's not much but I feel welcome here inside.

And I've got swinging doors a jukebox and a barstool
And my new home has a flashing neon sign
Stop by and see me anytime you want to
'Cause I'm always here at home till closing time.

[Instrumental]

I've got everything I need to drive me crazy
I've got everything it takes to lose my mind
And in here the atmosphere's just right for heartaches
Thanks to you I'm always here till closing time.

And I've got swinging doors a jukebox and a barstool
And my new home has a flashing neon sign
Stop by and see me anytime you want to
'Cause I'm always here at home till closing time...

"Take Me Back Again"

"Take Me Back Again"

Each new day brings heartaches by the number
A memory of things that used to be
And each night alone I remember those kisses
That your lips once gave to me.

Take me back again, make me live again
Say those things you used to say to me
Kiss these lips of mine just like old times darling
Take me back again, again, again.

Day and night my love for you grows stronger
Every hour is filled with thoughts of you
And though you say that you love me no longer
That won't stop my arms from wanting you.

Take me back again, make me live again
Say those things you used to say to me
Kiss these lips of mine just like old times darling
Take me back again, again, again...

"Take Taste Of My Wine"

"Take Taste Of My Wine"

Come a little closer be a little bolder
Come and take taste of my wine
Just a little teasing makes it mighty pleasing
Babe it's gonna be just fine.

Come on baby let the good times roll
(Come on baby really thrill my soul)
Come a little closer be a little bolder
Come and take taste of my wine.

Honey, stop your stalling, can't you hear me calling
Come and take taste of my wine
Love will start to flowing when you get to going
Babe it's gonna be just fine.

Come on baby let the good times roll
(Come on baby really thrill my soul)
Come a little closer be a little bolder
Come and take taste of my wine.

[Instrumental]

Your heart will start to reeling when you get the feeling
Come and take taste of my wine
Make you kinda hazy just a little lazy
Babe it's gonna be just fine.

Come on baby let the good times roll
(Come on baby really thrill my soul)
Come a little closer be a little bolder
Come and take taste of my wine.

Come on baby let the good times roll
(Come on baby really thrill my soul)
Come a little closer be a little bolder
Come and take taste of my wine.

Come and take taste of my wine.
Come and take taste of my wine...

"Tall Dark Stranger"

"Tall Dark Stranger"

Beware of a tall dark stranger
If he comes ridin' into your town
A tall dark stranger is danger (danger)
So don't let no stranger hang around

For he can capture the heart of a woman
With one glance from his flashing brown eyes
Like a bolt from the blue he can steal her from you
Then jump up on his pony and ride ride ride
So beware of a tall dark stranger...
If he comes ridin' into your town
A tall dark stranger is danger (danger)
So don't let no stranger hang around

They say a tall dark stranger is a demon
And that a devil rides closely by his side
With no warning he can strike like the thief in the night
Then jump up on his pony and ride, ride, ride
So beware of a tall dark stranger...
If he comes ridin' into your town
A tall dark stranger is danger (danger)
So don't let no stranger hang around
So don't let no stranger hang around

"Tennessee Bird Walk"

"Tennessee Bird Walk"

Take away the trees and the birds
All have to sit upon the ground
Take away their wings and the birds
All have to walk to get around.

Take away their bird baths
And dirty birds will soon be everywhere
Take away their feathers
And the birds will walk around in underwear.

Take away their
And the birds will have to whisper their sing (chirp-chirp)
Take away their common sense
And they'll head it southward in the spring.

Remember me my darling
When spring is in the air
And the bald headed birds
Are whispering everywhere.

And you can see them walkin'
Southward in their dirty underwear
Tennessee bird walk.

[Instrumental]

How 'bout some trees
So the birds won't have to sit upon the ground
How 'bout some wings
So the birds won't have to walk to get around.

How 'bout a bird bath or two
So the birds will all be clean
How 'bout some feathers
So their underwear no longer will be seen.

How 'bout a
So the birds won't have to whisper when they sing
How bout some common sense
So they won't be blockin' traffic in the spring.

Remember me my darling
When spring is in the air
And the bald headed birds
Are whispering everywhere.

And you can see them walkin'
Southward in their dirty underwear
Tennessee bird walk.

Tennessee bird walk.
The Tennessee bird walk.
The Tennessee bird walk...
