"Jambalaya (On The Bayou)"

"Jambalaya (On The Bayou)"



Goodbye, Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh.
Me gotta go, pole the pirogue down the bayou.
My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and file* gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio.
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo,
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin',
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen.
Dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and file gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio.
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo,
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Settle down far from town, get me a pirogue
And I'll catch all the fish in the bayou.
Swap my mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o.

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and file gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio.
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo,
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

"Jill"

"Jill"



I know a girl
Who says she loves me
She says she needs me
And I have reason to believe her
Good reason

Like when we kiss
My eyes won't open
My heart won't listen
And I don't have a word to say
No, not a word

Look, my darling
And you'll hear me sing "I love you"
With my eyes
Let me hold you
Really hold you
Then you'll know my heart

Just can't tell lies
It knows a true love
It knows it's you, love
And it knows that you say
You love me
And I say I love you, too

"Jingle Bells"

"Jingle Bells"



Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob-tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And we all got upsot

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh yeah

A day or two ago
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed as there I sprawling lie
But quickly drove away

Now the ground is white
Go it while you're young
Take the girls tonight
And sing this sleighing song
Just get a bob-tailed bay
Two-forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack!
You'll take the lead

"Junco Partner"

"Junco Partner"



Down the road came a Junco Partner
For he was loaded as can be
He was knocked out, knocked out loaded
He was a'wobblin' all over the street

Singing 6 months ain't no sentence
And one year ain't no time
I was born in Angola
Serving 14 to 99

Well I wish I had me $1 million dollars
Oh one million to call my own
I would raise meat and say, "grow for me baby"
I would raise me a tobacco farm

Well I wish I would have me a great deal of money
Yeah and mighty good things all over town
Now I ain't got no more money
All of my good friends are putting me down

So now I gotta pawn my rifle and pistol
Yeah I'm gonna pawn my watch and chain
I would have pawned my seat Gabriella
But the smart girl she wouldn't sign her name

Give me headstone when I die

"Just A Boy"

"Just A Boy"


The last days in May
Before summer lay claim
Back in the school yard
We made up a game
Now is always
Is always the same
Too bad always always ends

[Chorus:]
I remember
I remember when
But I was just
Just a boy
Then

Innocent envy
Without compromise
Recommendations
All ill advised
Tall tales
And little white lies
The truth had to bend

[Chorus]

Now that we're tall
And all grown
A house a car
Lives of our own
We put off
But we can't postpone
The way we become men

[Chorus]

"Just Kiss Me"

"Just Kiss Me"



Just kiss me
And forget all about that other stuff
Kiss me
Your big red lips, I think, will be enough

Don't worry with your lipstick
I'm gonna kiss it all away
Throw away your lipstick
That ain't your color, anyway

My Lips Are Your Color
So Lips, Stick With Me!

Ooo, when you kiss me
I've got to know just how much you miss me

Kiss me
And I'll take your lips to paradise
Kiss me
And paradise will never feel so nice

You're beautiful
You don't need all that make up
And you don't need to take up
All of your time in front of the mirror
Don't you know that you're my deara
Baby, can't you see we're in love

Ooo, when you kiss me
I've got to know just how much you miss me

Kiss me
And put all the stars back in the sky
Kiss me
And maybe then you'll know the reason why
I want you
And my love's gonna haunt you
And I'm gonna flaunt you

In front of all the boys that live on my street
And they're gonna be jealous 'cause you're so sweet
Do you think I should repeat
Do you think I should repeat
Repeat
Repeat
Aw, say it, man!

I'm in love
Love
I'm in love

I'm in love
Sweet love

"Just Like Me"

"Just Like Me"



It's three o'clock in the morning
I'm wonderin what to do to save the sun
The space that I take
Is more than I can give
And Lorelei's song has just begun
I'm gonna turn my head
Time eternity
I'm gonna find somebody
Just like me
Everybody's pretty
My brother won't rest till he knows I'm home
The choices I make
Are easier supposed
As my surviving striving not to roam
I'm gonna stand my ground
Make my guarantee
I'm gonna find somebody
Just like me
The world keeps spinning
Mountains vary but the valley's the same
The confidence I feel
As I balance on the ridge
Comes from the trueness of my aim
I'm gonna walk this road
As far as I can see
I'm gonna find somebody just like me
I'm gonna find somebody just like me

"Just The Way You Are"

"Just The Way You Are"



Don't go changing, to try and please me,
You never let me down before,
Don't imagine, you're too familiar,
And I don't see you anymore.

I would not leave you, in times of trouble,
We never could have come this far,
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times,
I'll take you just the way you are.

Don't go trying, some new fashion,
Don't change the color of your hair,
You always have my, unspoken passion,
Although I might not seem to care.

I don't want clever, conversation,
I never want to work that hard,
I just want someone, that I can talk to,
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew,
What will it take till you believe in me,
The way that I believe in you?

I said I love you, and that's forever,
And this I promise from the heart,
I couldn't love you, any better,
I love you just the way you are.

"Killing Me Softly"

"Killing Me Softly"



I heard she sang a good song
I heard she had a style
And so I came to see her and listen for a while
And there she was this young girl
A stranger to my eyes

Strumming my pain with her fingers
Singing my life with her words
Killing me softly with her song
Killing me softly with her song
Telling my whole life, with her words
Killing me softly with her song

I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on

Strumming my pain with her fingers
Singing my life with her words
Killing me softly with her song
Killing me softly with her song
Telling my whole life, with her words
Killing me softly with her song

She sang as if she knew me
In all my dark despair
And then she looked right through me as if I wasn't there
And she just kept on singing
Singing clear and strong

Strumming my pain with her fingers
Singing my life with her words
Killing me softly with her song
Killing me softly with her song
Telling my whole life, with her words
Killing me softly with her song

"Lazybones"

"Lazybones"



Lazybones, sleeping in the sun
How you 'spect to get your day's work done?
Never get your day's work done
Sleeping in the new day's sun

Lazybones, sleepin in the shade
How you 'spect to get your cornmeal made?
You'll never get your cornmeal made
Just sleepin in the evenin shade

When 'taters need spraying I bet you keep praying
The bugs fall off the vine
And when you go fishin, I bet you keep wishin
The fish won't grab your line

Lazybones, loafing through the day
How you 'spect to get a dime that way?
Never make a dime that way
Never heard a word I say
