"Guitar Man"

"Guitar Man"



Well I quit my job down at the carwash I left my mama a goodbye note
By sundown I'd left Kingston with my guitar up under my coat
I hitchhiked all the way down to Memphis got a room at the YMCA
For the next three weeks I went a hauntin' them night clubs
Lookin' for a place to play
Well I thought my pickin' would set 'em on fire
But nobody wanted to hire a guitar man

Well I nearly bout starved to death down in Memphis
I run out of money and luck
So I bummed me a ride down to Macon Georgia
On a overloaded poultry truck
I thumbed on down to Panama City
Started checkin' out some of them all night bars
Hopin' I can make myself a dollar makin' music on my guitar
Got the same old story at them all night piers
There ain't no room around here for a guitar man
We don't need a guitar man son

So I slept in hobo jungles bummed a thousand miles of track
Till I found myself in Mobile Alabama at a club they call Big Jack's
A little four piece band was jammin' so I took my guitar and I sat in
I showed 'em what a band would sound like with a swingin' little guitar man
Show 'em son

So if you ever take a trip down to the ocean find yourself down round Mobile
Well make it on out to the club called Jack's if you got a little time to kill
Just follow that crowd of people you'll wind up out on his dance floor
Diggin' the finest little five piece group up and down the Gulf of Mexico
And guess who's leadin' that five piece band
Why wouldn't you know it's that swingin' little guitar man yeah

"Hallelujah, I Love Her So"

"Hallelujah, I Love Her So"



Let me tell you bout a girl I know she's my baby and she lives next door
Every morning when the sun comes up she puts my coffee in my favorite cup
That's why I know yes I know hallelujah I just love her so
When I'm in trouble and I need a friend I know she'll stick with me untill the end
Everybody asks me how you know I smile at them and say she told me so
That's why I know yes I know hallelujah I just love her so
And when I call her on the telephone say her honey Jerry's all alone
By the time I count from one to four I hear her on my door
In the evening when the sun goes down when there ain't nobody else around

She looks at me and she holds me tight and tells me Jerry everything's all right
That's why I know yes I know hallelujah I just love her so (pick it son)

And when I call her...
Yeah hallelujah I just love her so hallelujah I just love her so

"Hard Way Every Time"

"Hard Way Every Time"



Yes I've had my share of broken dreams and more than a couple of falls
And in chasin' what I thought were moonbeams I have run into a couple of walls
But in looking back at the places I've been the chances that I've left behind
I just look at myself to find I learned the hard way every time

Cause I've had my share of good intentions and I've made my share of mistakes
I've learned at times it's best to bend cause if you don't well those are the breaks
I should have listened to the things I was told but I was young and too proud at the time
Now I look at myself to find I've learned the hard way every time

But in lookin' back at the lessons I've learned and the mountains I wanted to climb
I just look at myself to find I've learned the hard way every time

Cause I've had my share of broken dreams and more than a couple of falls
And in chasin' what I thought were moonbeams I have run into a couple of walls
But in looking back at places I've been I would sure be the first one to say
When I look at myself today I wouldn't have done it any other way

"Hold Tight"

"Hold Tight"



Hold tight I wanna dance with you this whole night
I hope the music never slows up
I hope this place don't ever close up no no

Now come on hold tight
Cause you're the only one who feels right
Girl I know it's now or never
I wanna dance with you forever

So hold on tight and never let me go baby
Cause I can feel the rhythm of your love
And when you get yourself in motion
Tearin' my emotions right in two

Well c'mon baby hold tight
And we will dance into the moonlight
All the stars they will surround us
And we will be so glad we found us

So hold on tight and never let me go baby
Cause I can feel the rhythm of your love
And when you get yourself in motion
I get lovin' notions all for you yes I do
Baby hold tight

So baby hold tight
And we will dance into the moonlight
I hope this music never slows up
And I hope tomorrow never shows up

"Home Sweet Home"

"Home Sweet Home"



The ol' home town is sure in trouble
Looks like it must have doubled in city size since I've been gone
Neighbors all full of killing two million people willing
To die for something they have never known
The city streets of drunks and junk and stone
A heaven made of hell they call their home

Yes it's gone like the life of a child
When it turn its back on your mind
Tomorrow has no home sweet home
Look what they've done to mine
It just faded into time

Grandfather's watch he gave me is just another mem'ry
That I have kept the way it always was
And ever since he died it just wont run
I always knew I was his favorite one

That old house we used to live in the roof is falling in
Like every other one along the block
It took twenty years to pay and ten to rot
That says it's all just a better off forgot

Yes it's gone like the life of a child...

"House Of The Rising Sun"

"House Of The Rising Sun"



There is a house in New Orlean
They call the 'rising sun'
And it's been the ruin of many young poor boys
And, God, I know I'm one
My mother ... was a Taylor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Oh, mother! Tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your life in a Rock & Roll band
Play in the House of the Rising Sun
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the 'rising sun'
And it's been the ruin of many young poor boys
And, God, I know I'm one

"How Many Tomorrows"

"How Many Tomorrows"



Where is that tomorrow that place in time
That day when your memory don't occupy my mind
That mornin' when I'll wake up with no regrets to find
Oh how many tomorrows will that be how many tomorrows till I'm free

I wonder how long until these heartaches end
Till yesterday's forgotten till the hurtin' wears thin
And how much time remembering is there left for me to spend
Oh how many tomorrows will that be how many tomorrows till I'm free

Oh they say that time can break the chains that bind your heart to yesterday
But deep inside of me is the love for you that time will never take away
It's there to stay

So a million tomorrows won't ease all the pain
And every day without you will be more of the same
Achin' just to hold you inside these arms again
But how many tomorrows will that be how many tomorrows will that be

"Huggin' And Chalkin'"

"Huggin' And Chalkin'"



Boogie boogie boogie
I gotta gal that's mighty mighty sweet
Got big blue eyes and tiny little feet
Her name is Rose she's sweet as she can be
But she tips them scales at three o three

Oh but ain't it nice to have a gal so fat
That when you hug her you don't know where you're at
You have to take a piece of chalk in your hand
Then you hug away and chalk away to see where you began

One day while I was a huggin' and a chalkin'
And a chalkin' and a huggin' away
I met another fella with some chalk in his hand
Comin' round from the other way

Comin' round the mountain through the hills and the valleys

Well I never been sick and I never been weak
My bones don't ache and my joints don't creak
But I get a little dizzy and I get a little limp
Every time I lay a kiss on my baby blimp

Oh but ain't it nice to have a gal so fat...
One day while I was a huggin' and a chalkin'...

Lookin’ kinda funny

One day while I was a huggin' and a chalkin'
And a beggin' her to be my bride
I seen another feller with some chalk in his hand
Comin' round from the other side

Sneakin' up easy ha ha ha ha

Now honey I ain't sayin' you fat
But when you sit down you sit down all over the place
Ha ha ha ha keep me shady in the summer
Keep me warm in the winter time
Honey hand me the chalk I think I love ya
You're on my foot honey

"Hurry Home"

"Hurry Home"



You left and said the test of time would tell us how we felt
Well weeks have gone my love is strong but my heart's about to melt
If you're not sure then please come home if only just for me
And when I'm strong and feel secure again then you can leave

So hurry home my baby I need you by my side
The lonesome's gettin' lonelier and growing deep inside
A memory only keeps me warm for so long when you're gone
So hurry home my baby hurry home
Hurry home my baby hurry home

I know you've got to be away but why away so long
The distance only changed the time and drags it slowly on
Your voice inside a telephone is emptying up my soul
And only one thing fills it that's to have you here to hold

So hurry home my baby I need you by my side...
