"Twilight"

"Twilight"


Over by the wildwood
Hot summer night
We lay in the tall grass
'til the mornin' light
If I had my way I'd never
Get the urge to roam
A young man serves his country
And an old man guards the home
Never gave a second thought
Never crossed my mind
What's right and what's not
I'm not the judgin' kind
I could take the darkness oh
Storms in the skies
But we all got certain trials
Burnin' up inside
Don't send me no distant salutations
Or silly souvenirs from far away
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
Twilight is the loneliest time a day
Don't put me in a frame upon the mantel
'Fore memories turn dusty old and grey
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
Twilight is the loneliest time a day

"Ubangi Stomp"

"Ubangi Stomp"


Well I rocked over Italy and rocked in Spain
Rocked in Memphis, it was all the same
Well, I rocked through Africa and roll of the ship
And seen them natives doin' a hot-lookin' skip
I parted the weeds and looked over the swamp
I seen them cats doin' the Ubangi stomp

Ubangi-stomp with rock and roll
Beats anything that's ever been told
Ubangi stomp, Ubangi style
When it hits, it's gonna drive a cool cat wild

Well I looked up the chief, he invited me in
He said, a hey big jam session's 'bout to begin

He handed me a tom-tom, I picked up that beat
That crazy thing sent shivers to my feet
I rocked and I rolled and I skipped with a smile
Done the Ubangi stomp till I rolled over dead

Well we rocked all night and part of the day
Had a good rockin' time with the chief's daughter May
I was makin' a time and a-gettin' to know
Then the captain said, son, we gotta go
I said that's alright, you go right ahead
I'll do the Ubangi stomp 'till I roll over dead

"Waiting For A Train"

"Waiting For A Train"


All around the water tank
Waitin' for a train
I'm a thousand miles away from home
Sleeping in the rain

I walked up to a brakeman
Just to make a line of talk
He said, "Son if you've got money"
"I'll see that you don't walk"

Well, I haven't got a nickel
Not a penny can I show
Well, get off, get off, you railroad bum
He slammed the boxcar door

Well, he put me off in Texas
A state I dearly love
Wide open spaces all around me, Lord
The moon and stars above

My pocketbook is empty
My old heart is filled with pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home
And I'm waitin' for a train

"Walk A Mile In My Shoes"

"Walk A Mile In My Shoes"


If I could be you, if you could be me
For just one hour, if we could find a way
To get inside each other's mind
If you could see you through my eyes
Instead your own ego I believe you'd be
I believe you'd be surprised to see
That you've been blind

Walk a mile in my shoes
just walk a mile in my shoes
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Then walk a mile in my shoes

Now if we spend the day
Throwin' stones at one another
'Cause I don't think, 'cause I don't think
Or wear my hair the same way you do
Well, I may be common people
But I'm your brother
And when you strike out
You're tryin' to hurt me
It's hurtin' you, Lord how mercy

Now there are people on reservations
And out in the ghetto
And brother there, but, for the grace of God
Go you and I,
If I only had wings of a little angel
Don't you know, I'd fly
To the top of a mountain
And then I'd cry, cry, cry

"Walk Right In"

"Walk Right In"


Walk right in sit right down daddy let your mind roll on
Walk right in sit right down daddy let your mind roll on
Everybody's talking bout a new way of walking do you wanna lose your mind
Walk right in sit right down daddy let your mind roll on
Walk right in sit right down baby let your hair hang down
Walk right in sit right down baby let your hair hang down
Everybody's talking bout a new way of walking do you wanna lose your mind
Walk right in and sit right down baby let your hair hang down

Well walk right in sit right down...

"Walking The Floor Over You"

"Walking The Floor Over You"


You left me and you went away
You said that you'd be back in just a day
Oh yeah, you've broken your promise
And you left me here alone
I don't know why you did dear
But I do know that you're gone

And I'm walkin' the floor over you
(I'm walkin' yes I'm walkin')
I can't sleep a wink that is true
(I'm walkin' yes I'm walkin')
I'm hopin' and I'm prayin'
As my heart breaks right in two
(I'm walkin' yes I'm walkin')
Walkin' the floor over you

Yeah, someday you may be lonesome too
Walkin' that floor is good for you, oh yeah
Just keep right on walkin'
And it won't hurt you to cry
Remember that I love you, baby
And I will till the day I die

I'm walkin' the floor over you
(I'm walkin' yes I'm walkin')
Can't sleep a wink that is true
(I'm walkin' yes I'm walkin')
Hopin' and I'm prayin'
As my heart breaks right in two
(I'm walkin' yes I'm walkin')
Walkin' the floor over you

One more time now

I'm walkin' the floor over you
Can't sleep a wink that is true, oh yeah
Hopin' and I'm prayin', Lord
As my heart breaks right in two
Walkin' the floor over you, yeah

"We Both Know Which Way Of Us Went Wrong"

"We Both Know Which Way Of Us Went Wrong"


Well I hear through the grapevines that your blue eyes have been rainin'
Well I cried for you when you left me alone
Darlin' don't say I didn't tell you so
But baby we both know which one of us was wrong
They say you wanted many oh but they say you still play our favorite song
Darlin' now I'm not sayin' that I told you so ha ha
But we both know baby we both know baby which one of us was wrong
Who told who that we were tearin' down once in a lifetime on
And it would be too late to be sorry later on
Baby don't tell Jerry didn't tell you so
Cause we both know honey which one of us was wrong

Who told who that we were tearin' down once in a lifetime on
Who told who that it would be too late to be sorry later on
Darlin' no I ain't gonna say that I told you so
We both know we both know baby which one of us was wrong

"We Live In Two Different Worlds"

"We Live In Two Different Worlds"


We live in two different worlds dear
That's why we're so far apart
You made your world out of vows that are broken
I built a world in my heart

Everyone here tried to warn me
You were just playing a game
I told them all we were meant for each other
I thought our worlds were the same

If you stay over in your world
Oh how my poor heart will pine
Darling someday when your memories wander
Won't you come over in mine

We live in two different worlds dear
My world is honest and true
Sweetheart remember when your world gets lonesome
I'll still be waiting for you

"What Makes The Irish Heart Beat"

"What Makes The Irish Heart Beat"


All that trouble, all that grief, that's why I had to leave
Staying away too long is in defeat
Why I'm singing this song? Why I'm heading back home?
That's what makes the Irish heart beat

I'm just like a hobo riding a train, like a gangster living in Spain
I have to watch my back, I'm running out of time
But when I roll the dice again if Lady Luck will call my name
That's what makes the Irish heart beat

Well, that's what makes it beat when I'm standing on the street
And I'm standing underneath the Wrigley's sign
Oh, so far away from home but I know I've got to roam
That's what makes the Irish heart beat

And it was off to foreign climes on the Piccadilly Line
We were standing underneath the Wrigley's sign
So far away from home, well, I know I've got to roam
That's what makes the Irish heart beat

Just like a sailor out on the foam, any port in a storm
Where we tend to burn the candle at both ends
Down the corridor of fame like the spark ignites the flame
That's what makes the Irish heart beat

But when I roll the dice again, Lady Luck will call my name
That's what makes that old Irish heart beat
Oh, that's what makes the Irish heart beat
That's what makes the Irish heart beat

"What My Woman Can't Do"

"What My Woman Can't Do"


(What my woman can't do can't be done)
Well it amazes me how she can change my mind
When it seems to be impossible my God she can do it everytime
And the way she always loves me she's got that down perfect too
I keep asking myself what is it that lady can't do
She brightens any room she walks inside (yes she does)
And the way she comes in smiling you'd think she'd never every cry
She still looks as young and pretty as she did the day we met
If there's one thing bad about her
I tell her I ain't ever found it yet (haha think about it)
What can't do can't be done
If there's ever been a darlin' Jerry Lee's findin' one (yes he does)
She beats all I've ever seen she's the champion of our team
What my woman can't do can't be done
What my woman can't do can't be done
