"Wasn't That A Woman"

"Wasn't That A Woman"

Ooh!
Wasn't that a woman! [X4]
Oh, yeah!

(Wasn't that a woman) Took me by surprise,
(Wasn't that a woman) Uh-huh, right between the eyes.
(Wasn't that a woman) Well, I hope to believe,
(Wasn't that a woman) Made a schoolboy outta me.

[CHORUS:]
Oh yeah, I got it badly, ain't too much to figure out;
Bam boom, and she had me. Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.

(Wasn't that a woman) Watch me, watch me, watch me runnin' down the line,
(Wasn't that a woman) Ain't she fine, ain't she fine;
(Wasn't that a woman) Well I'm chasin' after that,
(Wasn't that a woman) Uh-huh, pure Cadillac.

How! Oh, yeah!

[CHORUS]

(Wasn't that a woman) Whoa smile on my face,
(Wasn't that a woman) Turn every head in the place;
(Wasn't that a woman) Oww, such sweet agony,
(Wasn't that a woman) Whoa 'cause she's leavin' here with me!

Wasn't that a woman!...
[various shouting and talking]

"When Will I Be Loved"
(originally by The Everly Brothers)

"When Will I Be Loved"
(originally by The Everly Brothers)

I've been cheated, been mistreated
When will I be loved?
I've been pushed down, I've been pushed 'round
When will I be loved?

When I find a new girl that I want for mine
She always breaks my heart in two, it happens every time.

I've been made blue, I've been lied to
When will I be loved?

When I find a new girl that I want for mine
She always breaks my heart in two, it happens every time.

I've been cheated, been mistreated
When will I be loved?
When will I be loved?
Tell me, when will I be loved?

"Where The River Flows"

"Where The River Flows"

Where the river flows, where the river flows.

I was walkin' the main road, comin' into town,
I came upon a stranger, lying on the ground.
He said "I been in prison, and now I'm on the run,
I'm feelin' kinda weary, gotta make it home."

[CHORUS:]
Where the river flows, where the water goes,
I'll be over there, waitin' over there, where the river flows.

Well I didn't have a lot to give, but I gave him what I could,
Listened while he talked about the bad times and the good.
And early in the mornin', I took an old man home,
Left him by the river, left him all alone.

[CHORUS]
[CHORUS]

"Who'll Stop The Rain"

"Who'll Stop The Rain"

Long as I remember,
The rain been comin' down.
Clouds of myst'ry pourin'
Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages
Tryin' to find the sun.
And I wonder,
Still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain.

I went down Virginia,
Seekin' shelter from the storm.
Caught up in the fable,
I watched the tower grow.
Five-year plans and new deals
Wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder,
Still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain.

Heard the singers playin',
How we cheered for more?
The crowd had rushed together
Tryin' to keep warm.
Still the rain kept pourin',
Fallin' on my ears.
And I wonder,
Still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain.

"Wicked Old Witch"

"Wicked Old Witch"

Well way down yonder
In the deep blue holler
Yeah way back in the swamp
Where the snakes go crawlin'

Shriveled old lady
With a tombstone mouth
Scarin' up trouble
At the haunted house

[Chorus]
Flyin' 'cross the moon on a big ol' stick
Everybody 'fraid
Of the wicked old witch

When sun goes down
And moon gets high
You can hear her cacklin'
Out in the night

Well-a sinners and gamblers
And gunslingers too
Everybody scatters when the witch
Comes through

[Chorus]
Flyin' 'cross the moon on a big ol' stick
Everybody 'fraid
Of the wicked old witch

Saturday night
And the wind begins to howl
You can bet that old swamp witch
Is out on the prowl
Creatures and goblins, spooks all around
Making their way up the road into town

[Chorus]
Flyin' 'cross the moon on a big ol' stick
Everybody 'fraid
Of the wicked old witch

I'm workin' on a building, I'm workin' on a building,

If IIIIIIIIIIIIII were a drunkard, tell you what I'd do,

It'a a Holy Ghost building, It'a a Holy Ghost building,
It'a a Holy Ghost building, for my Lord, for my Lord.

"Wrote A Song For Everyone"
(with Miranda Lambert featuring Tom Morello)

"Wrote A Song For Everyone"
(with Miranda Lambert featuring Tom Morello)

Met myself a comin' county welfare line.
I was feelin' strung out, hung out on the line.
Saw myself a goin', down to war in June.
All I want, all I want is to write myself a tune.

[Chorus:]
Wrote a song for everyone,
Wrote a song for truth.
Wrote a song For everyone
And I couldn't even talk to you.

Got myself arrested, wound me up in jail.
Richmond 'bout to blow up, communication failed.
If you see the answer, now's the time to say.
All I want, all I want is to get you down and pray.

[Chorus x2]

Saw the people standin' thousand years in chains.
Somebody said it's different now, look, it's just the same.
Pharoah's spin the message, 'round and 'round the truth.
They could have saved a million people, how can I tell you?

[Chorus x2]

"You Rascal You"

"You Rascal You"

Now I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal you, uh-huh.
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal you, oh yeah.
Well I let into my home, you gonna leave my woman alone,
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal you.

Now I'll be glad when you die, you rascal you, uh-huh.
I'll be glad, oh I'll be tickled to death when you leave this Earth it's true, oh yeah.
When you're lyin' down six feet deep, no more fried chicken will you eat.
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal you, oh yeah.

Ah, you just ain't no good! Oh, you dog!

Now listen here, I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal you, uh-huh.
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal you, oh yeah.
I'll be standin' on the corner high, when they drag your body by,
I'll be glad when you're dead, you know I'm gonna be so happy when you're gone you dog!
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal you.

"You're The Reason"

"You're The Reason"

I lay here at night, toss and I turn, lovin' you so, how my heart yearns,
Honey, you're the reason I don't sleep at night.
A-justa walkin' the floor, thinkin' of you, smoke cigarettes, and drink all day too,
Honey, you're the reason I can't sleep at night.

I'm bettin' you're not losin' sleep over me, but if I'm wrong don't fail to call,
Come over and keep me-hee company.
Sometimes I go for a walk, look at the moon, strum my guitar to some old lonesome tune,
Honey, you're the reason I can't sleep at night.

I'm bettin' you're not losin' sleep over me, yeah but if I'm wrong don't fail to call,
Come over and keep me-hee company.
Sometimes I go for a walk, look at the moon, strum my guitar and sing out of tune,
Honey, you're the reason I can't sleep at night.
Honey, you're the reason I can't sleep at night.
Honey, you're the reason I can't sleep at night.
