"Sweet Magdalena Of My Misfortune"

"Sweet Magdalena Of My Misfortune"


I have lost the one I love to someone else
She lies beside me, but she's not here, she's far away
She's WALKING softly, she's talking sweetly about a dream
Sweet Magdalena of my misfortune, where ARE YOU NOW?

Things I lost, left behind, or threw away
They gather in the dusky light of reverie
Always with me, where I go, sweet company, or is it misery?
Sweet Magdalena of my misfortune, where have you gone?
So many ways to go and lay your burdens down
Yeah, so many hours from now to the dawn
Yeah, so many words I never found to make you stay just one more day

Sweet Magdalena of my misfortune, where have you gone?
Yeah, ooh
Yeah, so many words I never found to make you stay FOR just one more day
Sweet Magdalena of my misfortune, where are you now?
Yeah, sweet Magdalena of my misfortune, where are you now?

"Sweet Potato"

"Sweet Potato"


Be my sweet potato
Be my honey lamb
Dance around the campfire
Hang around a while

Well, I been caught stealing
Someone else's vibe
Everybody loves or hates us
But we're still alive

Well wake up in the morning
Cup of coffee, grab your bags
Jump into the caddie
'Cause this touring ain't a drag
They were overrated, educated
I suppose a little jaded
When I get off this
I think I'm gonna have to be sedated

Be my sweet potato
I'll be your honey lamb
Give me some black tupelo
I been caught again
Shit!

I went to New York City
But then I come right back
Everyone was cool there
I couldn't get no slack
You seen me in the papers
You seen me in the Voice
I think I'd stay in Dixie
If I had the choice

Well wake up in the morning
Cup of coffee, grab your bags
Jump into the caddie
'Cause this touring ain't a drag
They were overrated, educated
I suppose a little jaded
When I get off this
I think I'm gonna have to be sedated

Be my sweet potato
I'll be your honey lamb
Give me some black tupelo
I been caught again

"Sweet Thistle Pie"


It's been a long time since I had Sweet Thistle Pie
It's been a long time since I had Sweet Thistle Pie
She claps her hands and snaps her fingers
Knows my name but calls me Ginger
It's been a long time since I had Sweet Thistle Pie

Hey Hey Hey Yeah

(Sweet Thistle Pie) Sweet Thistle Pie
(Sweet Thistle Pie) Sweet Thistle Pie
Sweet Thistle Pie

It's been a long time since I've been so very low
It's been a long time since I've been so very low
When I was young you were no stranger
Around the world and slip through my fingers
It's been a long time since I've been so very low

Hey Hey Hey Yeah

"Take Me Down To The Infirmary"

"Take Me Down To The Infirmary"


Take me down
To the infirmary
Lay me down
On cotton sheets
Put a damp cloth
On my forehead
Lay me down
And let me sleep

I know the whiskey, it won't soothe my soul
And the morphine won't heal my heart
But if you take me down to the infirmary
I won't have to sleep or drink alone

So, take me down
To the infirmary
Walk a sound that's as blue as her eyes
Oh, sister Magdalene won't you fetch the doctor's flask
He is going to need a steady
A steady hand

I know the whiskey, it won't soothe my soul
And the morphine won't heal my heart
But if you take me down to the infirmary
I won't have to sleep or drink alone

So, take me down
To the infirmary
Lay me down on cotton sheets
Put a damp cloth on my forehead
Lay me down let me sleep
Lay me down let me sleep

"Teen Angst (What The World Needs Now)"

"Teen Angst (What The World Needs Now)"


I don't know what the world may need
But I'm sure as hell that it starts with me
And that's a wisdom I have laughed at

I don't know what the world may want
But a good stiff drink it surely don't
So I think I'll go and fix myself a tall one

'Cause what the world needs now is a new kind of tension
'Cause the old one just bores me to death
'Cause what the world needs now is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head

I don't know what the world may need
But a V-8 engine's a good start for me
I think I'll drive and find a place to be surly

I don't know what the world may want
But some words of wisdom could comfort us
Think I'll leave that up to someone wiser

'Cause what the world needs now are some true words of wisdom
Like la la la la la la la la la
'Cause what the world needs now is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head

I don't know what the world may need
And I'll never grasp your complexities
I'd be happy just to get your attention
I don't know what the world may want
But your long sweet body lying next to mine
Could certainly raise my spirits

'Cause what the world needs now is a new Frank Sinatra
So I can get you in bed
What the world needs now is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head

What the world needs now
What the world needs now is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head
What the world needs now
What the world needs now is a new Frank Sinatra
So I can get you in bed
What the world needs now
What the world needs now is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head
What the world needs now
What the world needs now is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head

"The Bottle Let Me Down"
(originally by Merle Haggard)

"The Bottle Let Me Down"
(originally by Merle Haggard)



Each night I leave the barroom when it's over
Not feelin' any pain at closing time
But tonight your memory found me, much to sober
Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind.
Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memories come around
The one true friend I thought I've found
Tonight the bottle let me down.
I've always had a bottle I could turn to
And lately I've been turning every day
That the wine don't take a laugh the way it used to do
Now I'm hurtin' an open million way.
Oo tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memories come around
The one true friend I thought I've found
Tonight the bottle let me down
Tonight the bottle let me down.

"The Eyes Of Mary"

"The Eyes Of Mary"


You were born
With it inside
A secret twin in your wounded side
Bits of hair
Teeth and string
And yellow flowers

Open up
Let it all in
Let the strange parade begin
A piece of pie
A piece of cake
For every sister

Let the eyes of mary
Carry you away now
Let the eyes of mary
Carry you away now

A baby born
It's made of leaves

And carried round the maypole tree
By irish girls
With jet black hair
And dark brown freckles

Let me bring
You bits of string
Tired and worn and sagging things
Under the weight
Of old crows feet
And the seasons

Let the eyes of mary
Carry you away now
Let the eyes of mary
Carry you away now
Let the brides of jesus
Carry you away now
Let the brides of jesus
Carry you away now.
Away now
Away

"The Golden Age"

"The Golden Age"


This is the Golden Age
It's hard to imagine
With the way I feel today
That this is the Golden Age
The Golden Age

Somewhere I failed
Somewhere I lost you
In a black crowd of crows
And shiny things
I can't remember

This is the Golden Age
This is the Golden Age
The Golden Age

It seems like I'm high
But baby I'm crawling
In the unbearable days
I threw away
But I should have savored
The flaxen light
Off of the dying wheat
Your rye whiskey mouth
And your dandelion teeth

This is the Golden Age
This is the Golden Age
This is the Golden Age
This is the Golden Age

"The Good Life"

"The Good Life"


This holy circus camp
Aladdin and his lamp
A feverish daydreams and suerte loca
My face in magazines
The lesbian James Dean
I got all I ever wanted
So I don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me
Well I don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me
Down miles of empty road
With acolytes in tow
You could be Persephone
A pigeon through the glass
A drunken trapeze act
Well you got all you ever wanted
So I don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me
Well I don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me
Well I don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me
Well I don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me
Well I don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me
Well I don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me
