"Mississippi Moon Dog"

"Mississippi Moon Dog"


Crawlin through the swamps and you here me moan
stalkin after midnight I'm all alone
Three ways to Sunday that's how it be
Never take a walk alone comin after me
Oh..Oh..Walk it like you talk it
Oh..Oh.. Watch it where you been stalkin around..no

Mama got the voodoo little bones
Daddy got a mojo noody knows
Can't get started till the night
The stars come out and moon is getting bright
Oh..Oh.. watch out what your sippin
Oh.. Oh.. Daddy knows you been messing around

Kept him working - work it hard boy

[Chorus:]
Mississippi moon dog shakin after midnight
Gonna sweat the devil out of you
Mississippi moon dog voodoo all around now
A rattlesnake a rabbits foot too

All night long your testifying
The truth that your signifying
You ain't slept in half a week
There's no more disciples to listen to you speak
Oh..Oh.. what the hell you sayin?
Oh..Oh.. who you think you portraying now?

[Chorus:]
Mississippi moon dog sneaking out of Memphis
The rivers in view
Mississippi moon dog reaching through the darkness
Sun never shines through
Mississippi moon dog listen to em howling
Muddy waters singing out the blues
Mississippi moon dog chicken come a scratching at ya
The swamps pointing at you

[Chorus:]
Mississippi moon dog shakin all around now
Jackson's in view
Mississippi moon dog seven comes eleven now
Snake eyes won't do
Mississippi moon dog, Mississippi mon dog
Mississippi moon dog, Mississippi mon dog

"Mississippi Queen"
(originally by Mountain)



Mississippi Queen, You know what I mean
Mississippi Queen, She taught me everything
Went down around Dick's place, around Louisiana way
Where lived the Cajun Lady, aboard the Mississippi Queen

You know she was a dancer. She moved better on wine
While the rest of them dudes were gettin' their kicks
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was gettin' mine

Mississippi Queen, If you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen, She taught me everything
This lady she asked me, if I would be her man
You know that I told her, I'd do what I can

To keep her lookin' pretty, buy her dresses that shine
While the rest of them dudes were makin' their friends
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was loosin' mine
You know she was a dancer. She moved better on wine

While the rest of them dudes were gettin' their kicks
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was gettin' mine
Yeah, Mississippi Queen

"Moonlight Dancin' On The Bayou"

"Moonlight Dancin' On The Bayou"



I ran into a gypsy woman workin' on the bayou
A red silk scarf on her jet black hair with a smile and a gold capped tooth
She said her name was Mama Star, raised in New Orleans
Been around the world five times over, wish I would see half she's seen

Moonlight dancin' on the bayou
Say your prayers cause she gonna get inside you

She stooped down, cracked a vertical smile, fire came from her fingertips
With a Cheshire cat grin said what can I get you as she was licking her lips
I'd be a fool baby, if I didn't do the do
I couldn't forget it, I had to hit it, then I had to hit the bricks

Get on the next train out of town
Gotta get outta here fore the sun goes down
Gotta get outta here before she cast a spell
Save a lot of pennies for the wishing well

Get on the next train out of town
Gotta get outta here fore the sun goes down
Gotta get outta here before she cast a spell
Save a lot of pennies for the wishing well

The fire was burnin', my guts were turnin' as she swinged and danced around
A black cat crossed my path and then I got dizzy and I had to lay down
She took me round the corner baby, to a basement room
She stood in the doorway to block my path, I knew I had to get out of there soon

Moonlight dancin' on the bayou
Say your prayers cause she gonna get inside you

Moonlight dancin' on the bayou
Say your prayers cause she gonna get inside you

Get on the next train out of town
Gotta get outta here fore the sun goes down
Gotta get outta here before she cast a spell
Save a lot of pennies for the wishing well

Get on the next train out of town
Gotta get outta here fore the sun goes down
Gotta get outta here before she cast a spell
Save a lot of pennies for the wishing well

Moonlight dancin' on the bayou
Say your prayers cause she gonna get inside you

I hope she's doing well, yes I hope she's doing fine
My hair's grown back and I'm almost as tall as I was in ninety-nine
The woman has a power baby, from the darker side
I hope I never see her again, if I do, I'll just run and hide

Get on the next train out of town
Gotta get outta here fore the sun goes down
Gotta get outta here before she cast a spell
Save a lot of pennies for the wishing well

Get on the next train out of town
Gotta get outta here fore the sun goes down
Gotta get outta here before she cast a spell
Save a lot of pennies for the wishing well

Get on the next train out of town
Gotta get outta here fore the sun goes down
Gotta get outta here before she cast a spell
Save a lot of pennies for the wishing well

"Never Say Never"

"Never Say Never"


Rolling down this highway, for years it seems
Trying to chase that Rock 'n Roll dream
Ain't no way I'm gonna throw in the towel
I just keep pushing its just my style

Yes I'm a rockin I'll keep rollin
It doesn't matter if its up or down
The band is drivin music's surviving
It ain't over till we rock your town

I never say never I've been down before
I never say never just when you count me out
I'll be back for more

Just doesn't matter it keeps getting better
Don't try to tell me its time to come home
Just keep hitting it nothing else to do
Were do you live I'm coming for you

Yes I'm a rockin I'll keep rollin
Getting my kick till I get my fill
Ain't nothing to it just gotta do it
Making my music gonna fire at will

[Chorus repeat]

"No Room On The Crew"

"No Room On The Crew"


Cut my teeth in Kentucky, dynamitin' coal,
Turned sixteen on a tanker, haulin' crude from Mexico,
Worked my way up to Washington, made the timber fall,
Had a card in every union and I never missed a call,
Put me on the time clock, there ain't nothin' I can't do,
How can you tell me there's no room on the crew

[Chorus:]
There's no room on the crew,
Hell , I've heard that line before, yeah, I've heard it before,
Tell you what I'm gonna do to prove you can use one more,
Put your five best men together and if they fill my shoes,
Then you can tell me there's no room on the crew

Picked Tennessee tobacco till the hard times ran me out,
Rolled steel up in Gary, they closed that big mill down,
I did my best in Detroit city, they cut production back,
Worked hard on the seaboard, for the railroad laying track,
I gotta feed my family, there ain't nothin' I wont do,
How can you tell me there's no room on the crew

[Chorus:]
There's no room on the crew,
I've heard that line before, I've heard it before,
Tell you what I'm gonna do to prove you can use one more,
Put your five best men together and if they fill my shoes,
Then you can tell me there's no room on the crew

[Chorus:]
There's no room on the crew,
I've heard that line before, oh before,
Tell you what I'm gonna do to prove you can use one more,
Put your five best men together and if they fill my shoes,
Then you can tell me there's no room on the crew,
Then you can tell me... there's no room on the crew

"No Stranger To The Darkness"

"No Stranger To The Darkness"



Times of trouble I can understand
I may be crazy, don't mean that I'm a bad man
Broken sails from a wind of change got me broken down
Lose a man from breakin' baby, till you're six feet in the ground

One step forward and two steps back
Living hand to mouth in a shotgun shack
Two time loser in love, yes it's sink or swim
Ain't nothing gonna owe, but the rent now baby
While you are drinking your ice cold gin

I was walkin' with the devil in the bad days of my life
I could not find the sun cause it's raining all day and night
Hear the soundtrack to your soul coming from deep inside
Places you don't wanna go cause you can't hide

No stranger to the darkness, trouble finds its way to me
I'm facing the danger, but not till eternity

The world is getting bigger, all alone out in the blues
All fingers on the trigger, just tell me who made who
Raised out on the streets since I was born
Have mercy for good fortune cause I'm really torn

No stranger to the darkness, trouble finds its way to me
I'll be livin' the danger from now until eternity
No stranger to the darkness from now until eternity
No stranger to the darkness from now until eternity

"On The Prowl"

"On The Prowl"


I've got this feelin' inside me babe
Got my eyes on you
Just a matter of time
'Till I make up my mind
Before the night is through.

I've been searchin' everywhere for a little girl like you
Now I'm on ther prowl
Gonna need you now
I've got my sights on you.

[Chorus:]
I'm a hunter
I'm a stalker
I'm a creeper round every corner
I'm a seeker
Your love is all I need
Ain't no use in runnin' now
'Cause I get what I always go after
I'm on the prowl.

Ain't nothing in the whole world, honey
I wouldn't do it for you
Just one kiss from your sweet lips
Enough to get me through
I've been searchin everywhere
No one else will do
You're gonna be mine, baby, I ain't lyin
Got my sights on you

[Chorus:]
I'm a hunter
Oooohhhh I'm a stalker
I'm a creeper round every corner
I'm a seeker
Your love is all I need
Ain't no use in runnin' now
'Cause I get what I always get what I go after
I'm on the prowl.

Got this feelin' inside me baby
Got my eyes on you
Just a matter of time
'Till I make you mine
Before the night is through
I've been searchin' everywhere
But no one else will do
You're gonna be mine, baby
I ain't lyin'
I've got my sights on you

[Chorus:]
I'm a hunter
Oooohhhh I'm a stalker
I'm a creeper round every corner
I'm a seeker
Your love is all I need
Ain't no use in runnin' now
'Cause I get what I always get what I go after
I'm on the prowl.

"One Last Ride"

"One Last Ride"


Ridin that night and the the moon is high
Gotta hell hound on my trail
Got to cross the Rio Grande
And never let me out of that jail
Feel the cool desert air... whippin' accross my face
Don't make a sound stay close to the ground
Got to leave without a trace

Like my daddy before me...
Said the son of the seventh son
I can't sit still when the night time comes
My spirit always on the run
I've done wrong everyone I loved
And I's livin' with that pain
The hell hounds on my trail

I watched one after another as they died
They took my heart and left me cold inside

[Chorus:]
Tonight I ride...One Last Ride
My past is close behind me...my pistol by my side
Gotta keep on ridin'...time's not on my side
I'm a pistol totin' gamblin' man
Time for One Last Ride.

Just a simple country boy without a lick of sense
30.6 Colt 45 rode a thousand of fence
When you ride with the devil, baby... you heed with the devil's call
Can't sing with the angels when the hell you're bound to fall.

Town folks watched as he locked himself inside
The new this torchered man was bound to die
He took the lonliness to his grave
The poor boy's soul could not be saved
The boy had finally taken his Last Ride.

[Chorus:]
Tonight I ride...One Last Ride
My past is close behind me...my pistol by my side
Gotta keep on ridin'...time's not on my side
I'm a whiskey drinkin' gamblin' man
Time for One Last Ride... So I keep on ride..One Last Ride
My past is close behind me...my pistol by my side
Gotta keep on ridin'...time's not on my side
I'm a pistol totin' gamblin' man
Time for One Last Ride.

"One Man's Pleasure"

"One Man's Pleasure"


Well here comes the story baby that I want you all to know,
'Bought what brought me down, what got me feeling low,
Started off one day and took off down the road.
Seeking' my fame and fortune, and trying to tote the load.

[Chorus:]
One man's loss is another man's gain.
One man's pleasure is another man's pain.

I left my woman in Jacksonville and took off down the line.
She had her way of thinking and Lord knows I had mine.
She could not take the pain of me not being home.
Couldn't take the pain, baby, of staying all alone.

[Chorus:]
One man's loss is another man's gain.
One man's pleasure is another man's pain.

Now when I left this town it was for her and for me.
Now I'm home all alone, with a paper that says I'm free.
I guess I'll hit the road again, and do what I do best.
To hell with her, to hell with him, to hell with all the rest.

[Chorus:]
One man's loss is another man's gain.
One man's pleasure is another man's pain.

[Chorus:]
One man's loss is another man's gain.
One man's pleasure is another man's pain.
Now tell me people, who's to blame?
