"Cocaine Carolina"

"Cocaine Carolina"

Morning found me lyin' on a floor in New Orleans,
Looking like the patches was about to eat my jeans.

Feeling like my belly was a warehouse for the blues
And I sure miss my sweet Cocaine Carolina.

Met her on an oceanliner, called her Cocaine Carolina
She was quite a lady then and I was twenty two.

God knows how much I adored her I just never could afford her
Cocaine Carolina how did I get hooked on you?

So goodbye Cocaine Carolina you and I are through
I'm going back to Sandy Scag she knows just what to do.

She don't love me for my money, she just wants my body honey.
Cocaine Carolina how did I get hooked on you?

Oh someone said if I was lucky I could go back to Kentucky.
Lexington was famous for its bluegrass and its hills.
Carolina we should get up, don't you know we'll have to split up,
Maybe I should go to California

So goodbye Cocaine Carolina you and I are through
I'm going back to Sandy Scag she knows just what to do.

She don't love me for my money, she just wants my body honey.
Cocaine Carolina how did I get hooked on you?

Oh goodbye Cocaine Carolina...
Oh goodbye Cocaine Carolina...

"Cold Lonesome Morning"

"Cold Lonesome Morning"

One of these cold lonesome mornings, you're gonna kill me
I'm gonna lay there and I'm gonna die
You will soon give me pain enough to fill me
'Cause I'm gone past doin' any good to cry

And the warm sunshine is like a stranger
There's a cruel violation with the dawn
Lord, my pain can't stand illumination
And one of these cold lonesome mornings I'll be gone

One of these cold lonesome mornings, dark and early
Before a wild bird sings I'm gonna fly
While it's still dark and I'm still reachin' for you
I'll wake up and I can't cry

But I know my heart can't stand another tremor
Now it's holding together I don't know
But just before the dawning's first glimmer
One of these cold lonesome mornings I'm gonna go

Yes, one of these cold lonesome mornings you're gonna kill me

"Cold Shoulder"

"Cold Shoulder"

There's a fire burning bright at our house tonight
Slow music playing and soft candlelight
On her lips I keep tasting the warm red wine
I'm there in her arms but it's all in my mind

The snow is piled high on the highway tonight
I'm a ship lost at sea on this ocean of white
Eighteen wheels anchored somewhere out of Dover
I wish I could hold her instead of hugging this old cold shoulder

This old highway us like a woman
Sometimes she can be your best friend
But she's the real jealous kind
She's the lady that leads me to the life I dream of
She's the mistress that keeps me from the ones that I love

The snow is piled high on the highway tonight
I'm a ship lost at sea on this ocean of white
Eighteen wheels anchored somewhere out of Dover
I wish I could hold her instead of hugging this old cold shoulder
God, I wish I could hold her instead of hugging this old cold shoulder

"Cold, Cold Heart"
(originally by Hank Williams)

"Cold, Cold Heart"
(originally by Hank Williams)

I tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
Now a memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart

Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said they make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart

Yeah, there was a time when I believed that you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory

The more I learn to care for you the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart

"Come Along And Ride This Train"

"Come Along And Ride This Train"

I know a land where mountain streams are running free
I know a prairie where there’s miles between each tree
I know where there’s people you would like to get to know
Come along with me and go

Come along and ride this train
Come along and ride this train
Cross the mountains prairies reservations
Rivers levees plains
Come along and ride this train

I heard a story that I’d like to share with you
And I know a valley that I’d like to take you through
I will show you things that I am sure you’d like to see
Come along and go with me

Come along and ride this train
Come along and ride this train
Cross the mountains prairies reservations
Rivers levees plains
Come along and ride this train

I know a land where mountain streams are running free
I know a prairie where there’s miles between each tree
I know where there’s people you would like to get to know
Come along with me and go

Come along and ride this train
Come along and ride this train
Cross the mountains prairies reservations
Rivers levees plains
Come along and ride this train

I heard a story that I’d like to share with you
And I know a valley that I’d like to take you through
I will show you things that I am sure you’d like to see
Come along and go with me

"Come In Stranger"

"Come In Stranger"

She said come in stranger
It's good to have you home
I hurried thru 'cause I knew it was you
When I saw your dog, waggin' his tail
Honey, why didn't you let me know by mail
You've been gone so long

She said come in stranger
I know you're weary from all your miles
Just sit right there in your easy chair
And tell me all about the places you've been
How long it'll be before you leave again
I hope it's a long, long while

She said come in stranger
Everything 'round home is fine
I've watched and I've waited for you to get back
And I missed you all the time

She said come in, stranger
Oh how I need you when you're gone
I walk the floor and I watch the door
And when I lie awake and wonder where you can be
I'd give anything to have you here with me
I get so lonesome all alone

She said come in, stranger
And won't you listen to my plea
Stay long enough, so that the one I love
Is not a stranger to me

"Come Take A Trip On My Airship"

"Come Take A Trip On My Airship"

Come take a trip in my airship come take a trip round the stars
Come take a sail around Venus come take a sail around Mars
No one to watch while we're kissing no one to see while we spoon
Come take a trip in my airship we'll visit the Man in the Moon

"Come To The Wailing Wall"

"Come To The Wailing Wall"

Oh my Lord what a mornin' oh my Lord what a day
The sound of battle's over and the smoke has blown away

Come to the Wailing Wall come to the Wailing Wall
Thank God you can stand up on this Holy Land
And touch the hallowed rock that God delievered to our hand
Come to the Wailing Wall come to the Wailing Wall

Shout it cross the mountain shout it cross the sea
We have been delievered Israel is free

Come to the Wailing Wall...

Bring the lost ones homeward lead them to this shore
The city gates are open heaven's blessing o'er

Come to the Wailing Wall...

"Committed To Parkview"

"Committed To Parkview"

There's a man across the hall who sits staring at the floor,
He thinks he's Hank Williams; hear him singing through the door.
There's a girl in 203, who stops by to visit me,
And she talks about her songs and the star that she should be.
There are lots of special people staying in or passing through:
And for one thing or another, committed to Parkview.

There's a girl in 307, coming down on Thorazine.
And a superstar's ex-drummer trying to kick Benzedrine.
There's a boy just down below me, who's the son of some well-known:
He was brought in by his mother, 'cos his daddy's always gone.
There's a bum from down on Broadway and then a few quite well-to-do's:
Who have withdrawn from the rat race and committed to Parkview.

There's a girl who cries above me, loud enough to wake the dead.
They don't know what she has taken that has scrambled up her head.
There's a writer and a singer who has tried and tried and tried:
They just brought him in this morning, an attempted suicide.
There are those that never made it, those that did but now are through:
Some came of their own good choosing: some committed to Parkview.

They wake us about 6: 30, just before the morning meal.
While they're taking blood pressure, they ask us how we feel.
And I always say: "Fantastic! There ain't nothing wrong with me."
And then they give me my injection and I go right back to sleep.
And my days are kind of foggy and my nights are dreamy too:
But they're taking good care of me: committed to Parkview.

"Cool Water"
(originally by Bob Nolan)

"Cool Water"
(originally by Bob Nolan)

All day I've faced a barren waste
Without the taste of water, cool water
Old Dan and I with throats burnt dry
And souls that cry for water
Cool, clear, water

Keep a-movin, Dan, don'tcha listen to him, Dan
He's a devil, not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water
Dan, can ya see that big, green tree?
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waitin' there for me and you?
It's water, cool, clear water.

The nights are cool and I'm a fool
Each star's a pool of water
Cool water
But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn
And carry on to water
Cool, clear, water

Keep a-movin, Dan, don'tcha listen to him, Dan
He's a devil, not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water
Dan, can ya see that big, green tree?
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waitin' there for me and you?

It's water, cool, clear, water
Cool, clear, water
Cool, clear, water
