"I Saw It On TV"

"I Saw It On TV"


They sent us home to watch the show comming on the little screen
A man named Ike was in the white house big black limosine
There were many shows that followed from hooter to dootyville
Though I saw them all I can't recall which cartoon were real
The coons skin caps Yankee bats the hound dog mans big start
The A bomb fears Annette had ears I lusted in my heart
A young man from Boston said "sail the new frontier"
And we watched the dream dead end in Dallas
They buried innocents that year

[Chorus:]
I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V.

We gathered round to hear the sound comming on the little screen
The grief had passed the old men laughed and all the girls screamed
Cause four guys from England tooks all by the hands
It was time to laugh time to sing time to join the band

But all too soo we hit the moon and covered up the sky
They built the bombs and aimed their guns and still i don't know why
The dominoes tumbled and big buisness roared
Every night at six they showed the pictures and counted up the score

[Chorus:]
I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V.

The Old man rocks among his dreams a prisoner of the porch
The light he said at the end of the tunnel
Was nothing but a burglars torch
And them that was caught in the cover are all rich and free
But they chained my mind to an endless tune
When they took my only son from me

[Chorus:]
I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V.
I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V.

"I Will Walk With You"

"I Will Walk With You"


I will walk with you
Every step of the way
Love you all my life
Love you everyday
No matter where you wander
No matter what you do
Come what may I will walk with you

I will walk with you
And treasure every smile
No matter what the fashion
You'll always be my style
My pretty little princess
An angel dressed in blue
Come what may I will walk with you

I will walk with you
Even when the sun don't shine
The rain it may come down
And Fate may be unkind
If you get a scrape
I'll brush away the tears
Come what may I will walk with you

I will walk with you
Together we will share
Jelly beans and pink ice-cream
A Christmas teeddy bear
And one day I am for certain a
Brand new puppy too
Come what may I will walk with you

I will walk with you
And love you for all time
Travel this ol' world
Your little hand in mine
I'll never be far from you
This I promise you
Come what may I will walk with you
Come what may I will walk with you

"I'll Be There (If You Ever Want Me)"

"I'll Be There (If You Ever Want Me)"


Well, there ain't no chains strong enough to hold me
Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
Never have seen a river that's too wide.

Well, there ain't no jail tight enough to lock me
There ain't nobody big enough to stop me
I never have seen a road too rough to ride.

So love me if you ever gonna love me
I never have seen a river too rough to ride
There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me
There ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side.

Ah, yeah!

Well, there ain't no rope strong enough to bind me
Look for me, honey you will find me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side.

I'll be there ready and a waitin'
There won't be any hesitation
I'll be right there if you ever want me by your side.

So love me if you ever gonna love me
I never have seen a river too rough to ride
There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me
There ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side.

"In The Garden"

"In The Garden"


In the garden of the moon
In the garden of the sun
In the temple of the ages
There sits the ancient one
With a smile on his face
And a twinkle in his eye
Got a secret in his heart
He's got a plan big as the sky

[Chorus]
In the garden
In the garden
In the garden
In the garden

Said the children of the moon
To the children of the night
We are seekers of the ancient
We are seekers of the light
We have journeyed from forever
From our home behind the sun
We have journeyed from tomorrow
To find the door; the ancient one

[Chorus]
In the garden
In the garden
In the garden
In the garden
...

"It Ain't Right"

"It Ain't Right"


There go your big black limousine
Shakin' your booty for the magazine
Pickin' and posing like a wannabe

It ain't right
It ain't right
Such a waste of life

Maybe you forgot how we live down here
People work hard for the money dear
You had such a hard day lookin' at the mirror

It ain't right
It ain't right
Honey such a waste of life

Another long weekend with your friends
I thought that party would never end
Well at the old rehab and gone again

It ain't right
It ain't right
Honey such a waste of life

Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba, yeah!

There go your big black limousine

"Jambalaya (On The Bayou)"


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

[CHORUS:]

'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio.
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo,

"Joy Of My Life"

"Joy Of My Life"


I tiptoed in the room
I know you got to have your rest
She says, 'Come lay beside me,
I've been waitin' since you left'
She's sweet to me
Must be the luckiest man alive
And did I tell you baby
You are the joy of my life

First time that I saw you
Ooh, you took my breath away
I might not get to heaven
But I walked with the Angels that day

She takes me by the hand
I am the luckiest man alive
And did I tell you baby
You are the joy of my life

Some may have their riches
Some may have their worldly fame
Long as I have you
I'll treasure each and every day
Just take me by the hand
I am the luckiest man alive
And did I tell you baby
You are the joy of my life
And did I tell you baby
You are the joy of my life

"Knockin' On Your Door"

"Knockin' On Your Door"


Oh babe I wonder, just how we ever,
Got so far apart;
And it seems like just the other day we were happy,
Holdin' hands in the dark.
Here I'm standin' out in the rain,
With a heart full of pain.

[CHORUS:]
Baby here I am, knockin' on your door.
Baby here I am, knockin' on your door.

Ooh! Oh girl I'm beggin', hear what I'm sayin',
Don't send me away.
Just what I'm feelin', I got to tell ya,
Don't say it's too late.
I'm walking up and down the street,
Just tryin' to get my nerve up.

[CHORUS]

Ooh, Lord!
Ooh baby, babe, I want ya, want you,
Gotta keep you for all time.
And I think I'm goin' crazy over you,
'Cause I got to have you, got to have you,

[CHORUS]

Pow! Just think it over, whoa babe, I know you
Will see what I mean.
Try to remember, when we're together,
How good life can be.
I'm walkin' up and down the street,
Just tryin' to get my nerve up.

[CHORUS]

Here I am, here I am knockin' on your door.
Here I am, here I am knockin' on your door.
Justa justa knockin', justa justa knockin' on your door.
Justa justa justa knockin', babe.
Justa justa justa justa justa knockin', babe

"Lodi"

"Lodi"


Just about a year ago
I set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune
Lookin' for a pot of gold
Things got bad, and things got worse
I guess you will know the tune
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again

Rode in on the Greyhound
I'll be walkin' out if I go
I was just passin' through
Must be seven months or more
Ran out of time and money
Looks like they took my friends
Oh, Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again

The man from the magazine
Said I was on my way
Somewhere I lost connections
Ran out of songs to play
I came into town, a one-night stand
Looks like my plans fell through
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again

If I only had a dollar
For ev'ry song I've sung
Ev'ry time I've had to play
While people sat there drunk
You know, I'd catch the next train
Back to where I live
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again
Oh, Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
