LOVE OF THE COMMON PEOPLE

LOVE OF THE COMMON PEOPLE


Living on free food tickets
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can you do, hm hm hm
Tears from your little sister
Crying cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch
For the party to go
Oh but you know, she'll get by

Because she's
Living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can
And she can

It's a good thing you don't have bus fare
It would fall through the hole in your pocket
And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground
Walking to town and find a job
Trying to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through
And it chills you to the bone
Boy you'd better go home, where it's warm

Where you can
Live in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can

Living on a dreams ain't easy
But the closer the knit the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away
Ah you take ‘em in stride, for family pride
You know that faith is your foundation
And with a whole lot of love and a warm conversation
Maybe a prayer
Making me strong where you belong

Where you can
Live in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
Living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can

LOVEY KRAVEZIT

LOVEY KRAVEZIT


Lovey wants my kisses
But I'm playing hard to get
I don't give her what she wants
So Lovey gets upset
When she wants a kiss
I just ration it
That's the way to keep Lovey passionate

Lovey, Lovey, Lovey Kravezit
Lovey, Lovey, Lovey Kravezit
Lovey, Lovey, Lovey craves my love
Oh yes she does

Lovey's telling everyone
That I'm a mean old thing
But the way to keep her
Is to keep her on a string
When a girl's in love
She wants the maximum
But I keep her down to the minimum

Lovey, Lovey, Lovey Kravezit
Lovey, Lovey, Lovey Kravezit
Lovey, Lovey, Lovey craves my love
Oh yes she does

I'm in love with her
But I'm saving it
That the way to keep Lovey cravin' it

Lovey, Lovey, Lovey Kravezit
Lovey, Lovey, Lovey Kravezit
Lovey, Lovey, Lovey craves my love
Lovey craves my love
Lovey craves my love

LUCILLE

LUCILLE


Lucille, you don't do your daddy's will
Lucille, you don't do your daddy's will
There ain't nothin' to ya, but I love you still

Lucille, please come back where you belong
Lucille, please come back where you belong
I'm beggin' to you baby, please don't leave me alone

I woke up this mornin', Lucille was not in sight
Asked her friends about her, all their lips were tight

Lucille, please come back where you belong
I'm beggin' to you baby, please don't leave me alone, oh

Lucille, you don't do your daddy's will
Lucille, you don't do your daddy's will

MADE TO LOVE

MADE TO LOVE


My father looked at me one day
Said "Son, it's plain to see
That you're getting older
And should have a talk with me
You'll soon be going on lots of dates
As to a man you grow
And there's one important thing
Every boy should know:

Girls, girls, girls were made to love
Girls, girls, girls were made to love
That's why some have eyes of blue
That's why some stand five feet two
Girls, girls, girls were made to love"

"One day soon you'll have a date
And you'll take her home that night
You'll wonder as you look at her,
Would a kiss be right?
The more you look, the more you'll find
Those doubts will fill your head
But think real hard and you might recall
The things your old dad said:

Girls, girls, girls were made to love
Girls, girls, girls were made to love
That's why you watch 'em walk down the street
That's why their kisses taste awfully sweet
Girls, girls, girls were made to love"
Love, love, love, love, love, love,
Love, love, love...

MAMA TRIED

MAMA TRIED


The first thing I remember knowin'
Was a lonesome whistle blowin'
And a young-un's dream of growing up to ride
On a freight train leavin' town
Not knowin' where I'm bound
And no-one could change my mind but Mama tried

One and only rebel child
From a family, meek and mild
My Mama seemed to know what lay in store
In spite all my Sunday learnin'
Towards the bad, I kept a-turnin'
'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore

And I turned twenty-one in prison
Doing life without parole
No-one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better
But her pleading I denied
That leaves only me to blame, 'cause Mama tried

Dear old Daddy, rest his soul
Left my Mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Working hours without rest
Wanted me to have the best
She tried to raise me right, but I refused

And I turned twenty-one in prison
Doing life without parole
No-one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried.
Mama tried to raise me better
But her pleading, I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried

MAN WITH MONEY

MAN WITH MONEY


She wants a man with lots of money, & I'm a poor boy
He buys her things, she calls him honey, she calls me poor boy
What good does it do to give her love good & true?
When any fool would understand
She thinks money makes a man

She wants a man with lots of money, & I'm a poor boy
She wants the things you buy with money & not a poor boy
Man with money
Man with money
Man with money

Just down the street, I know a place
When they're asleep, I'll cover my face
I'll break the lock, open the door
I'll slip inside, I'll rob the store

Then I'll be a man with lots of money & not a poor boy
I'll buy her things, she'll call me honey & not a poor boy
Man with money
Man with money
Man with money
Man with money
Man with money

MANDOLIN WIND

MANDOLIN WIND


When the rain came I thought you'd leave
'cause I knew how much you loved the sun
But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm
Through the darkest nights I've ever known
‘cause the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
And I know I love ya

Oh the snow fell without a break
Ah the buffalo died in the frozen fields you know
Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years
I couldn't believe you kept a smile
Now I can rest assured knowing that we've seen the worst
And I know I love ya

Oh I never was good with big romantic words
So the next few lines come really hard
Don't have much but what I've got is yours
Except of course my steel guitar
'cause I know you don't play
But I'll teach you some day
‘cause I love ya

Oh, I recall the night we knelt and prayed
Noticing your face was still and pale
I found it hard to hide my tears
I felt ashamed I felt I'd let you down
No mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
Couldn't change a thing no, no

MARY JANE

MARY JANE


Clouds so sweet, cloud my mind girl
And I don't know, what way I'll go girl
But I don't care no more
I've got my Mary Jane
And I'm secure once more
I've got my Mary Jane

In the light of things gone past girl
The darkness glows and the curtains close girl
But I don't care no more
I've got my Mary Jane
And I'm secure once more
I've got my Mary Jane

Mary Jane, Mary Jane

I've found the key to tomorrow
To a shelter from the pain
I've begun the end of sorrow
I've found it, I've found it, I've found it
In a name
Mary Jane, Mary Jane

Clouds so sweet, cloud my mind girl
And I don't know what way I'll go girl
But I don't care no more
I've got my Mary Jane
And I'm secure once more

MAYBE TOMORROW

MAYBE TOMORROW


I know we'll love again
Maybe tomorrow
I don't know where or when
Maybe tomorrow

You say, you say you're gonna cry
Because they've made us say goodbye
Our love will stand their test of time
And our ages won't be there
To draw the line

I know we'll love again
Maybe tomorrow
I don't know where or when
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow

MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS

MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS


The sweet sweet memories you gave-a me
You can't beat the memories you gave-a me

Take one fresh and tender kiss
(The sweet sweet memories you gave-a me
You can't beat the memories you gave-a me)
Add one stolen night of bliss
(The sweet sweet memories you gave-a me
You can't beat the memories you gave-a me)
One girl, one boy; some grief, some joy
(I was rover, but now it's over
It was a happy day when you came my way to tell me)
Memories are made of this
(of the sweet sweet memories you gave-a me
You can't beat the memories you gave-a me)

Fold in lightly with a dream
Your lips and mine, two sips of wine
(The sweet sweet memories you gave-a me
You can't beat the memories you gave-a me)
Memories are made of this
(I was rover, but now it's over
It was a happy day when you came my way to tell me)
Then add the wedding bells, one house where lovers
dwell
Three little kids for the flavor, stir carefully
through the days
See how the flavor stays These are the dreams you will
savor
With His blessings from above
(The sweet sweet memories you gave-a me
You can't beat the memories you gave-a me)
Serve it generously with love
(The sweet sweet memories you gave-a me
You can't beat the memories you gave-a me)
One man, one wife, on love through life

It was a happy day when you came my way to tell me)
