"Rich Girl"

"Rich Girl"


You're a rich girl and you're goin' too far
'Cause you know it don't matter any way
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money

It's a bitch, girl but it's goin' too far
'Cause you know it don't matter any way
Say money, money won't get you too far
Won't you too far

Don't you know woh, that it's wrong, yeah
To take what he's givin' you?
So far gone, oh, you can get along
You can try to be strong but you'll never be strong, yeah

You're a rich girl and you're goin' too far
You know it don't matter any way
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money

It's a bitch, girl but it's goin' too far
'Cause you know it don't matter any way
Say money, money won't get you too far
Get you too far

High and dry, out of the rain
It's so easy to hurt others when you can't feel pain
Don't you know that a love can't grow
'Cause it's too much to give
'Cause you'd rather live for the thrill of it all

Rich girl and you're goin' too far
'Cause you know it don't matter any way
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money

It's a bitch, girl, but it's goin' too far
'Cause you know it don't matter any way
Say money, money won't get you too far
Say money, money won't get you too far
Say money, money won't get you too far
Won't get you far

"Saratoga"

"Saratoga"


Oh Saratoga, will you dream
I know how love must seem
My love is far away

Oh Saratoga, will you smile
And dream with me a while
My love is far away

Love, it isn't fair
When you're not there, it isn't fair
The time, where has it gone
When you're alone, it has no end

Oh Saratoga, will you dream
I know how love must seem
Time waits and then it's gone

Love, it isn't fair
When you're not there, it isn't fair
And time, where has it gone
When you're alone, it has no end

Oh Saratoga, will you dream
I know how love must seem
Time waits and then it's gone

Time waits and then it's gone

"Satin Doll"

"Satin Doll"


Cigarette holder which wigs me
Over her shoulder, she digs me.
Out cattin' that satin doll.

Baby, shall we go out skippin ?
Careful, amigo, you're flippin',
Speaks Latin that satin doll.

She's nobody's fool so I'm playing it cool as can be.
I'll give it a whirl but I ain't for no girl catching me,
Swich-e-rooney.

Telephone numbers well you know,
Doing my rhumbas with uno
And that'n my satin doll.

"See-Line Woman"

"See-Line Woman"


Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Alright ye

See-line woman
She drink coffee
She drink tea
And then go home
See-line woman

See-line woman
Dressed in green
Wears silk stockings
With golden seams
See-line woman

See-line woman
Dressed in red
Make a man lose his head
See-line woman

See-line woman
Black dress on
For a thousand dollars
She wail and she moan
See-line woman

Wiggle wiggle
Turn like a cat
Wink at a man
And he wink back
Now child
See-line woman

Empty his pockets
And wreck his days
Make him love her
And she'll fly away

See-line woman
Take it on out now
Empty his pockets
And she wreck his days
And she make him love her
Then she sure fly away
She got a black dress on
For a thousand dollars
She wail and she moan...

"Seems I'm Never Tired Lovin' You"

"Seems I'm Never Tired Lovin' You"


Darling, you always needed
And your tenderness is needed too
And it seems that I'm never tired
Loving you, loving you, oh oh
Never was a feeling stronger
Aching for the sweet things you do
And it seems that I'm never tired loving you
Should the mountains crumble to ashes
And the rain should cease to fall
And if the river stopped its flowing
You'd still be my all in all
And if the clouds cover the sky
So the sunlight won't come through
Then I will never, never, never, never, never,
Never, tire loving you

"Silver City Bound"

"Silver City Bound"


Yeah...
This is a song... was sung by leadbelly and it was written for...his friend...
He had a friend named blind lemon...
And they used to ride back and forth on a train from somewhere to texas...
And I learned this tune from a record
I heard by him

Silver city bound I'm silver city bound
I'm gonna tell my little baby I'm silver city bound
I'm gonna meet blind lemon gonna ride on down
Silver city bound I'm silver city bound
I'm gonna tell my little baby I'm silver city bound
I'm gonna meet blind lemon gonna ride on down

Take me by the hand oh babe
And lead me to the promises land
Take me by the hand oh babe

And lead me to the promised land

Silver city bound I'm silver city bound
I'm gonna tell my little baby I'm silver city bound
I'm gonna meet blind lemon gonna ride on down

Take me by the hand oh babe
And lead me to the promises land
Take me by the hand oh babe
And lead me to the promised land

I'm silver city bound I'm silver city bound
I'm gonna tell my little baby I'm silver city bound
I'm gonna meet blind lemon gonna ride on down

Silver city bound I'm silver city bound
I'm gonna tell my little baby I'm silver city bound
I'm gonna meet blind lemon gonna ride on down

"Since I Fell For You"

"Since I Fell For You"


When you just give love
And never get love
You'd better let love depart
I know it's so, and yet I know
I can't get you out of my heart

You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you

Love brings such misery and pain
I guess I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you

Well, it's too bad
And it's too sad
But I'm in love with you
You love me, then you snub me
But what can I do?
I'm still in love with you

I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues most every night
Since I fell for you
Since I fell for you...

"Solitaire"

"Solitaire"


Since you've gone I spend each lonely night,
Dealing out the cards from left to right,
And the King of Hearts is there to remind me
That I'm all alone playing solitaire.

Love was just another game for two,
I see now that's all it meant to you,
And my heart got lost somewhere in the shuffle,
So I'm all alone playing solitaire

In each romance there's an element of chance,
A gamble to win or to lose,
You play to win, then you find you're playing in a game with no rules,
Just made for fools.
Now, the Joker has a laugh on me,
'Cause I played my hand so carelessly,
And until you wanna share that old feeling,
I'll be dealing time away with solitaire.

And until you want to share that old feeling,
I'll be dealing time away, dealing time away with solitaire.

"Solitude"

"Solitude"


In my solitude you haunt me
With reveries of days gone by
In my solitude you taunt me
With memories that never die

I sit in my chair
Filled with despair
Nobody could be so sad
With gloom ev'rywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad

In my solitude
I'm praying
Dear Lord above
Send back my love

[Original lyrics]

In my solitude you haunt me
With reveries of days gone by
In my solitude you taunt me
With memories that never die

I sit in my chair
I'm filled with despair
There's no one could be so sad
With gloom ev'rywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad

In my solitude
I'm praying
Dear Lord above
Send back my love
