"Dixie"

"Dixie"


Wish I was in the land of cotton
There's a man waiting there
Who'll never be forgotten
Why did I have to go
Why did I go away

It was early on one frosty morning
I left the sleepy town I was born in
I wrote a letter that said I was going
And I layed it beside your bed

And now the concrete hurts my feet
New York's too big a city for me
Back down south from Dixie beside you
Honey is where I wanna be

And then my cotton gown'll come tumblin' down
I'll make ya feel like a hell of a man
I wanna be held tight in your arms tonight
In my sweet old Dixie land
Darling it seems like forever
Does the Mississippi still run free
I miss a little bit of Heaven
And your southern hospitality

These neon lights drive me crazy
I wanna lay next to you and be lazy
Where the sweet magnolia blossoms
In the early morning Georgia air

Tonight it looks like snow
But this Gray Hound's starting to roll
I gonna be whistelin' Dixie
All the way back home to you

"Dixie Girl"

"Dixie Girl"


When I was a little girl in Dixie
I used to chase the fireflies
Then I grew up and started chasing the guys
Teenage romance what just the thing
Till I got in a family way
Now mama only working in a cheap cafe

Waiting on tables and passing myself around
Dixie girl, you're the small talk
In a small talking town
I fall in love every day with someone
Who ends up just driving away
While I dreaming I with him
Going down that west bound highway

One night a man walks in and smiles
And orders coffee black
Took me for a ride in his brand new cadillac
Told me he loved me with all his heart
I told him I loved him too
He said goodbye Dixie, I'll be back for you

Waiting on tables and passing myself around
Dixie girl, you're the small talk
In a small talking town
I fall in love every day with someone
Who ends up just driving away
While I dreaming I with him
Going down that west bound highway

Now all I do is read those
Hollywood photograph magazines
Work my shifts for tips
And live alone in my dreams
I'm a Dixie girl who prays
Some day she'll be a Delta queen
Find a good man,
Who'll raise me and my baby

Waiting on tables and passing myself around
Dixie girl, you're the small talk
In a small talking town
I fall in love every day with someone
Who ends up just driving away
While I dreaming I with him
Going down that west bound highway

"Do I Ever Cross Your Mind"

"Do I Ever Cross Your Mind"


Do I ever cross your mind darling
Do you ever see
Some situation somewhere somehow
Triggers your memory
And do you ever wonder
What became of all the time
And darling, do I ever cross your mind

Do you ever want to know
If all dreams go on endlessly
Or do they just run down somehow
Gradually become the custody
Or that melancholy jaded by the time
And darling, do I ever, ever cross your mind

Do I ever cross your mind
When you're lonely
Or does that only happen to me
Darling don'tcha ever wonder
What became of all the time
And darling, do I ever, ever cross your mind

Do I ever cross your mind
When you're lonely
Or does that only happen to me
Darling don'tcha ever wonder
What became of all the time
And darling, do I ever, ever cross your mind

"Do Right Woman, Do Right Man"

"Do Right Woman, Do Right Man"


Take me to heart
And I'll always love you
And nobody can make me do wrong
Take me for granted
Leaving love unshown
Makes will power weak
And temptation strong

A woman's only human
You should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood
Just like her man
If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man

They say it's a man's world
But you can't prove that by me
And as long as we're together
Show some respect for me
If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man

A woman's only human
You should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood
Just like her man
If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man

If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man
If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man

"Do What You Gotta Do"

"Do What You Gotta Do"


Girl I can understand how it might be kinda hard to love a guy like me
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
I just wanted you to know
I love you better than your own kin did from the very start
It's my own fault for what happens to my heart
You see I've always known you'd go
But you just do what you gotta do
my wild sweet love
Though it may mean I'll never kiss your sweet lips again
Pay that no mind
Just find that dappled dream of yours
Come on back and see me when you can
Well I know they make you sad
They make you feel so bad
They say you don't treat me like you should
Folks got ways to make you feel no good
I guess they got no way to know
I've had my eyes wide open from the start
And boy you never lied to me
And the part of you they'll never see
Is the part you've shown to me
So you just do what you gotta do
my wild sweet love
Though it may mean I'll never kiss those sweet lips again
Pay that no mind
Just find that dappled dream of yours
Come on back and see me
Come on back and see me
Come on back see me when you can-oooooooooh

"Do You Believe In Magic"
(originally by The Lovin' Spoonful)

"Do You Believe In Magic"
(originally by The Lovin' Spoonful)



Do you believe in magic
In a young girl's heart
How the music can free her
Whenever it starts
And it's magic
If the music is groovy
And it makes you feel happy
Like an old time movie
I'll tell you about the magic
That'll free your soul
But it's like trying to tell a stranger
About a rock 'n' roll
If you believe in magic

Don't bother to choose
If it's jug band music
Or rhythm and blues
Just go and listen
It'll start with a smile
That won't wipe off your face
No matter how hard you try
Your feet start tapping
And you can't seem to find
How you got there
So just go blow your mind

If you believe in magic
Come along with me
We'll dance until morning
'Til there's just you and me
And maybe if the music is right
I'll meet you tomorrow
And we'll go late at night
And we'll go out dancing
Baby, then you'll see
How the magic's in the music
And the music's in me, yeah
Do you believe in magic

Believe in the magic of a young girl's soul
Believe in the magic of a rock 'n' roll
Believe in the magic that will set you free
Do you believe like I believe
Do you believe like I believe
Do you believe like I believe
Do you believe like I believe

"Does Anybody Really Fall In Love Anymore?"

"Does Anybody Really Fall In Love Anymore?"


I walked down the streets
People passing me by
They look me up and down
But they don't look me in the eye

I'm just another stranger
In my own home town
Looking for an angel
But heaven can't be found

I say, ?Hey, are you lonely tonight?
Hey, hey, hey, I'm gonna make it through
But that don't make it right?

Does anybody really fall in love anymore?
Does anybody really give their heart to somebody?
Does anybody really ever open that door?
I know, I know, you've got to love somebody
I know, I know, I've got to find somebody to love

There's a sad face in the mirror
And I'm sad to say it's mine
Like a ghost up in the attic
Only love can set him free

I've been running around in circles
On this roller coaster ride
There's a lonely world around me
I get sucked in by the tide

I say, ?Hey, love ain't no crime
So why is everybody so afraid to cross that line??

Does anybody really fall in love anymore?
Does anybody really give their heart to somebody?
Does anybody really ever open that door?
I know, I know, you've got to love somebody
I know, I know, I've got to find somebody to love, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, I'll be all right
'Cause I know that someone somewhere's
Gonna say these words tonight

Does anybody really fall in love anymore?
Does anybody really give their heart to somebody?
Does anybody really ever open that door?
I know, I know, you've got to love somebody

Does anybody really fall in love anymore?
Does anybody really give their heart to somebody?
Does anybody really ever open that door?
I know, I know, I've got to find somebody

Does anybody really ever open that door?
I know, I know, I've got to find somebody
Does anybody really fall in love anymore?
Does anybody really give their heart to somebody?

"Don't Come Around Tonight"

"Don't Come Around Tonight"


Don't come around tonight

I bring a paper
To the cafe on the corner
I catch a movie in the afternoon
I spend an hour
Doing nothing that important
But nothing's what I'm in the mood to do

This peaceful image
Of a seen almost forgotten
Just touched the surface
Of my conscious mind
Of things I used to do
Before I knew you

[Chorus:]
So don't come around here tonite
But that doesn't mean forever
I trust you to spare us a fight
And humour my endeavour
There was something about you to me
How easier love used to be
Well I just need to know
That I'm all right
If you don't come around tonite

And so I wander
Through the workings of the city
Where every stranger has discovered me
With my desire, my isolation
Somehow I have to make the two agree

And then you vanish
All my thoughts and independance
When you put your hands on me
And I feel these things you do
That I've grown used to

[chorus]

You say I'm the one
You've been searching for
But for myself I would rather be more
Then someone who only aspires
To forfeit your every desire
And nights I've been mad, you are few
Now, all I am asking of you, is

[chorus]
[repeat]

"Don't Hide Your Love"

"Don't Hide Your Love"


You never give yourself completely
It's just that you've been hurt before
You're so afraid to let me love you
You never leave an open door

Don't judge me by some other lover
Who broke your heart and walked away
Come, let's be fair with one another
My world is yours, I swear it
Say the word and we can share it

Don't hide your love (don't hide your love)
Not if you care for me (not if you care for me)
It isn't fair for me
To worry and wonder and wait
Don't hide your love (don't hide your love)
Just love me here and now (just love me here and now)
We'll work it out somehow
Don't you keep us apart
Baby, unklock your heart
Don't hide your love

Well I know the past has brought you sorrow
The clouds still hang around today
But don't let the rain fall on tomorrow
Baby, we can make it together
'Cause I'm gonna love you forever

Don't hide your love (don't hide your love)
Not if you care for me (not if you care for me)
It isn't fair for me
To worry and wonder and wait
Don't hide your love (don't hide your love)
Just love me here and now (just love me here and now)
We'll work it out somehow
Don't you keep us apart
Baby, unklock your heart
Don't hide your love

"Don't Think Twice"
(originally by Bob Dylan)

"Don't Think Twice"
(originally by Bob Dylan)



It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, baby
If'n you don't know by now
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, baby
If'n you don't know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window, and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm a-travelin on
But don't think twice, it's all right

Ain't no use in turning on your light babe
The light I never knowed
And it ain't no use in turning on your light babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
But I wish there was something you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
But we never did too much talkin' anyway
Don't think twice, it's all right

So it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Like ya never done before
And it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't hear ya anymore
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wonderin' walkin down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I am told
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right

So long honey baby
Where bound I can't tell
And goodbye is too good a word baby
So I'll just say fare-thee-well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You coulda ever better, but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
Don't think twice, it's all right
