"Put Me Down"

"Put Me Down"

Well, I'm shakin' and I'm nervous all over
And I don't mind tellin' you why
I lost my breath to the hands of death
And baby gonna say goodbye
It's all over town, my baby's put me down
Well, my mind is blanked up and dizzy
And I think I'm a gonna cry
If I find it's true, she found somebody new
I guess I'll lay right down and die
It's all over town, you're gonna put me down
Oh baby, I'm beggin' you baby
Oh baby, please go slow
You know I love you darlin'
With all my heart and all of my soul
My temperature's up with a fever
And I don't know what to do
I'm just a-sittin' at home by the telephone
I'm just a-waitin' for a call from you
It's all over town, you're gonna put me down

Oh baby, I'm beggin' you baby
Oh baby, please go slow
You know I love you darlin'
With all my heart and all of my soul
My temperature's up with a fever
And I don't know what to do
I'm just a-sittin' at home by the telephone
I'm just a-waitin' for a call from you
It's all over town, you're gonna put me down
It's all over town, you're gonna put me down
It's all over town, you're gonna put me down

"Railroad To Heaven"
(with Solomon Burke)

"Railroad To Heaven"
(with Solomon Burke)

Life is like a mountain railway,
With an engineer that's brave;
We must make the run successful,
From the cradle to the grave;
Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels;
Never falter, never quail;
Keep your hands upon the throttle,
And your eyes upon the rail.

[Chorus:]
Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us,
Till we reach that blissful shore,
When the Angels wait to join us
In Thy praise for evermore.

You will roll up grades of trial;
You will cross the bridge of strife;
See that Christ is your conductor
On this lightning train of life;
Always mindful of obstruction,
Do your duty, never fail;
Keep your hands upon the throttle,
And your eyes upon the rail.

[Chorus]

You will often find obstructions,
Look for storms and wind and rain;
On a fill, or curve, or trestle
They will almost ditch your train;
Put your trust alone in Jesus,
Never falter, never fail;
Keep your hands upon the throttle,
And your eyes upon the rail.

[Chorus]

As you roll across the trestle,
Spanning Jordan's swelling tide,
You behold the Union Depot
Into which your train will glide;
There you'll meet the Superintendent,
God, the Father, God the Son,
With the hearty, joyous plaudit,
"Weary Pilgrim, welcome home."

[Chorus]

"Ramblin' Rose"

"Ramblin' Rose"

Everyone knows she's a ramblin' rose
She's a beauty growin' wild!
Birds in their nest seem to whistle their best
For mother nature's favourite child!

She's got the kind of affection
That just winds around your heart!
You better run for protection
Or she might upset your flower cart!

I hate to disclose that ma ramblin' rose
Is gonna meet her Waterloo!
I let her play but she can't get away
'Cause I know just what to do!

Anyone knows you can train a rose
To be a clingin' vine!
So, from this day hence, there'll be a picket fence
'Round that ramblin' rose of mine!

Now, everyone knows she's a ramblin' rose
She's a beauty growin' wild!
Birds in their nest seem to whistle their best
For mamma nature's favorite child!

She's got the kind of affection
That just winds around your heart!
You'd better run for protection
Or she might upset your flower cart!

I hate to disclose that ma ramblin' rose
Is gonna meet her Waterloo!
I let her play but she can't get away
'Cause I know just what to do!

Anyone knows you can train a rose
To be a clingin' vine!
So, from this day hence, there'll be a picket fence
'Round that ramblin' rose of mine!

"Release Me"

"Release Me"

Please release me let me go
For I don't love you anymore
To waste our lives would be a sin
Release me and let me love again

I have found a new love dear
And I will always want her near
Her lips are warm while yours are cold
Release me my darling let me go

For I don't love you anymore
So release me and let me love again

Please release me can't you see
You'd be a fool to cling to me
To live a lie would bring us pain
So release me and let me love again

"Reuben James"

"Reuben James"

Reuben James in my song you'll live again
And the phrases that I rhyme are just the footsteps out of time
From the time when I knew you Reuben James
Hey Reuben James all the folks around Madison Caunty cussed your name
Just a no count of colored man who'd steal anything that he can
And they always laid the blame on Reuben James
Hey Reuben James you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind
The faded shirt the wrinkled brow the calloused hand upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James

Hey Flora Gray well the gossip of Madison County died with the child
And although your skin was black you were the one who didn't turn your back
On a hungry white child with no name Reuben James
Hey Reuben James with your mind on my soul and Bible in your right hand
You said turn the other cheek there's a better world waitin' for the meek
In my head those words remain from Reuben James
Hey Reuben James you still walk...

Oh Reuben James one cold dark day they brought you from the fields
And that lonely pinebox came just a preacher me and the rain
To sing one last refrain for Reuben James
Oh Reuben James you still walk...

"Ride Me Down Easy"

"Ride Me Down Easy"

Ride me down easy Lord ride me on down leave word in the dust where I lay
Say I'm easy to come easy to go and easy to love when I stay

This old highway she's hotter than nine kinds of hell
The rides they're as scare as the rain
When you're down to your last shop with nothing to sell
And too far away from the trains
It'd been the good month of Sundays and a guitar to go
Had a tall drink of yesterday's wine
Left the long string of friends some sheets in the wind
And some satisfied women behind
So won't you ride me down easy...

Put a snow on the mountain raised hell on the hill lot horns of the devil himself
Where the rodeo bum a son of a gun and a hobo with stars in his crown
So won't you ride me down easy...
So won't you ride me down easy...

"Ring Of Fire"
(originally by Anita Carter)

"Ring Of Fire"
(originally by Anita Carter)

Love is a burning thing and it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire I fell into a ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down down down and the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns the ring of fire the ring of fire

I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down down down and the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns the ring of fire the ring of fire

The taste of love is sweet when hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child oh but the fire went wild

I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down down down and the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns the ring of fire the ring of fire

I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down down down and the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns the ring of fire the ring of fire

And it burns burns burns the ring of fire the ring of fire

"Rita May"

"Rita May"

Rita May, Rita May,
You got your body in the way.
You're so damn nonchalant
But it's your mind that I want.
You got me huffin' and a-puffin',
Next to you I feel like nothin',
Rita May.

Rita May, Rita May,
How'd you ever get that way?
When do you ever see the light?
Don't you ever feel a fright?
You got me burnin' and I'm turnin'
But I know I must be learnin',
Rita May.

All my friends have told me
If I hang around with you
That I'll go blind
But I know that when you hold me
That there really must be somethin'
On your mind.

Rita May, Rita May,
Laying in a stack of hay,
Do you remember where you been?
What's that crazy place you're in?
I'm gonna have to go to college
'Cause you are the book of knowledge,
Rita May.

"Rock & Roll Time"
(feat. Doyle Bramhall II & Jon Brion)
(originally by Kris Kristofferson)

Do I look like a loser, do I stand in your way
A threat to your future, you planned yesterday
Well, I fought for my freedom, some called it a crime
Convicted of running, on rock and roll time

I said rock and roll time, please take me away
To the whiskey and wine, of some better day
And if sometimes it seems, I'm falling behind
Remember I'm running, on rock and roll time

I'm judged in your airports, each time that I fly
I've been locked in your jailhouse, oh but I'm getting by
Just hoping that heaven, is happy and high
And everyone's running, on rock and roll time

I said rock and roll time, please take me away
To the whiskey and wine, of some better day
And if sometimes it seems, I'm falling behind
Remember I'm running, on rock and roll time

"Rock And Roll"
(originally by Led Zeppelin)

It's been a long time since I rock and rolled,
It's been a long time since I did the Stroll.
Ooh, let me get back, let me get back,
Let me get back, baby, where I come from.
It's been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.
Yes it has.
It's been a long time since the book of love,
I can't count the tears of life with no love.
Carry me back, carry me back,
Carry me back, baby, where I come from.
Woah oo oh oo oh oh

Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.
Waaaaahhhhhhhhaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

Making vows that just can't work right.
Open your arms, open your arms,
Open your arms, baby let my love come in, oh oh, yeah

Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

Been a long time, a long time,
A long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.
