"Johnny B. Goode"
(originally by Chuck Berry)



Well, down in Lousiana, close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods, 'neath the evergreens
There stands a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a little country boy named Johnny B. Goode

He never ever learned to read or write so well
He could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell
Go, go, go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go, Johnny B. Goode

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
The engineer would see him sittin' in the shade
Strummin' through the rhythm that the drivers made

The people passin' by, they would stop and say
My, how that little country boy can play
Go, go, go, Johnny, go, go

Well, his mama told him: Someday, you will be a man
You will be the leader of a country band
The people gonna come from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun goes down

Maybe, someday, your name will be at lights
Sayin': Johnny B Goode tonight
Yeah, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go

"Joy To The World"

"Joy To The World"


Jerry Miles was a bullfrog
He was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him drink his wine.

Everybody now joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the big blue sea
I said joy to you and me.

If I was a king of the world
I tell you what I'd do
I'd throw away the cars and the bars
and the wars and make sweet love to you.

Let me hear now joy to the world...

You know I love a lady
I love to have my fun
I'm a high night flyer and a rainbow rider
And a straight shootin' son of a gun.

Everybody now joy to the world...
And we go now joy to the world...
A little higher joy to the world...
One more time now joy to the world...
People's goin' now joy to the world...

"Judge Of Hearts"

"Judge Of Hearts"


Please, please, judge of hearts
Please don't let me lose
Each time I play the game of love
I get left with the blues.

I've tried, oh, how I've tried
But I can't make her see
Judge of hearts make her understand
What she means to me.

Don't sentence me to live my life
In this prison of broken hearts
Please help me to win, in this game of love
'Cause I could never ever make another start.

Judge of hearts, if you'll make her mine
I swear to be true
I've said all that I can say
Now it's all up to you.

Don't sentence me to live my life
In this prison of broken hearts
Please help me to win, in this game of love
'Cause I could never ever make another start.

Judge of hearts, if you'll make her mine
I swear to be true
I've said all that I can say
Now it's all up to you...

"Julia"

"Julia"


You were always there for me, Julia.
I was so afraid to fall in love.
I thought you'd wait for me,
Is it too late for me now?
Have you given up?

How it must have hurt you, Julia.
Waitin' for your love to be returned.
I never knew how.
What can I do now that I
Have finally learned?

I never thought that love could hurt me,
Now I tremble at the thought of losing you.
And all the perfect words desert me now,
Just in case it matters,
I love you.

May I have this dance with you, Julia?
Won't you let me hold you one more time?
The music is over,
But I'll hold you closer this time, Julia.
Julia.

"Julie"

"Julie"


Julie was the life of my soul
Came along and showed me all a woman has to show
She never made me promises about loving me always
She just made me happy while she stayed.

Time and changes changed her mind one day
She went to find her world in some strange city far away
Now i stand here lookin' through that Appalachian rain
Turning Julie over in my mind again.

All in all she sure was good for me
What i feel inside is more than just a memory
And if i had a guilt to give to any man i know
He'd have a girl like Julie.

Sleeping softly...in...his..soul...

"Just Because"

"Just Because"


Mmmmmmmmmm, Just because you think you're so pretty
Yeah, just because you think you're so hot
Yeah, just because you think you've got something
That ain't nobody else has got

Mmmmmmmmm, You've caused me to spend all my money
You laugh and call me old Santa Claus
Well, I'm telling you, well baby, I'm through with you
Because, just because

Mmmmmmmmmm,Well, there'll come a time when you'll be lonely
Yes, there'll come a time when you'll be blue
Well there'll come a time you're gonna need
Somebody else to stay at home and wait for you

Mmmmmmmmmm,You've caused me to spend all my money
You laugh and call me old Santa Claus
Well, I'm telling you, well, baby I'm through with you
Because, just because...

"Just Like A Stranger"

"Just Like A Stranger"


I passed you on a street in town, today
And my heart ached in an old familiar way
I thought of things I'd like to say, should I catch your eye
And just like a stranger, you walked right on by.

I stood there on the corner, of the street
The same old corner, where we once used to meet
I know you saw the teardrops, falling from my eyes
But just like a stranger, you walked right on by.

I've walked with you down this old street, before
But I'll never walk it with you, anymore
I smiled and said hello to you, but you made no reply
Instead like a stranger, you walked right on by.

Just like a stranger, you walked right on by...

"Just The Thought Of Losing You"

"Just The Thought Of Losing You"


Two different worlds, somehow find a way to come together
Moving so close 'til now and we find ourselves alone
So it's one more lonely night
I try to feel like it was over

But just the thought of losing you
And the emptiness is more than I can take
Living without loving you, my senses all break down now
Girl, I'm lost at just the thought of losing you

All of my life, no one else ever meant enough to hold me
I've been afraid of myself and the way I needed you
You've been waiting much too long
I don't need to think it over

And, just the thought of losing you
And the emptiness is more than I can take
Living without loving you, my senses all break down now
Girl, I'm lost at just the thought of losing you

Just the thought of losing you
And the emptiness is more than I can take
Just the thought of losing you
I close my eyes now, I can't see it end this way

"Just When I Needed You Most"
(originally by Randy VanWarmer)



You packed in the morning
And I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way.

But I miss you more
Than I missed you before
And now where I'll find comfort
God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
You left me just when I needed you most.

Now most every morning
I stare out the window
And I think about where you might be
I've written you letters that I'd like to send
If you'd just send one to me.

'Cause I need you more
Than I needed before
And now where I'll find comfort
God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
You left me just when I needed you most.

Now most every morning
I stare out the window
And I think about where you might be
I've written you letters that I'd like to send
If you'd just send one to me.

'Cause I loved you more
Than I loved you before
And now where I'll find comfort
God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
You left me just when I needed you most...

"Kaw-Liga"

"Kaw-Liga"


Kaw-Liga was a wooden Indian, standin' by the door
He fell in love with an Indian maid, over in the antique store
Kaw-Liga just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no.

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head.

He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk
Kaw-Liga too stubborn to ever show a sign
Because his heart was made of knoty pine.

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head.

And then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid
And took her oh, so far away but ol' Kaw-Liga stayed
Kaw-Liga just stands there as lonely as can be
And wishes he was still an old pine tree.

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head...
