"Barefoot Boy"

"Barefoot Boy"



Where do you come from barefoot boy
Where might you be going

I'm just a barefoot boy and I sing from town to town
I'm just a barefoot boy with my
Head in the sky and my feet on the ground
Hear my voice and you look all around
For the barefoot boy

Where no shoes, got nothin' to lose
And I leave my blues behind me
Don't look for me, 'cause I just won't be
Wherever you thought you'd find me

I'm just a barefoot boy and I sing from town to town
I'm just a barefoot boy with my
Head in the sky and my feet on the ground
Hear my voice and you look all around
For the barefoot boy

Free as the wind, I'm a wanderin'
And no one can confine me
I just can't stay, gotta go today
And trouble will stay behind me

I'm just a barefoot boy and I sing from town to town
I'm just a barefoot boy with my
Head in the sky and my feet on the ground
Hear my voice and you look all around
For the barefoot boy
Barefoot boy

Night is over, comes the dawn
barefoot boy here and gone

I'm just a barefoot boy
I'm just a barefoot boy
I'm just a barefoot boy
I'm just a barefoot boy
I'm just a barefoot boy

"Be My Love"

"Be My Love"



Be my love
For no one else can end this yearning
This need that you and you alone create
Just fill my arms the way you fill my dreams
The dreams that you inspire
With every sweet desire

Be my love
And with your kisses set me burning
One kiss is all I need
To seal my fate
And hand in hand
We'll find loves promised land
There'll be no one but you for me, eternally
If you will be, be my love

And hand in hand
We'll find loves promised land
There'll be no one but you for me, eternally
If you will be, be my love

"Be True To Me"

"Be True To Me"



Well if I'm a fool for loving you
And I guess I've a right to be
'Cause you told me when you fell in love
That you'd fall in love with me
And since that time I'm convinced that I'm
The one who's meant for you
So be true, be true, be true, be true to me

My friends all say that I'm just a fool
To sit home all alone
And to be content with a few love words
I hear on the telephone
But oh so precious are those tender words
I hear from you, that you'll
Be true, be true, be true, be true to me

I'll wait and watch the days go by
Until we come of age
And to our precious book of love
We'll add another page
A page that says these two will walk
Together all life through, that you'll
Be true, be true, be true, be true to me

"Big Chief Buffalo Nickel (Desert Blues)"

"Big Chief Buffalo Nickel (Desert Blues)"



A way out on the wind swept desert
Where nature favours no man
A buffalo found his brother
Lying baked on the sun baked sand
He said: My brother what ails you
Has sickness made you this way
His brother never said
'Cause his brother was dead
He'd been dead since way last May

Big chief buffalo nickel
was a mighty man in his day
He never used a syckle
To clear the bushes away
He roamed around from tent to tent
Heed everything in sight
He loved his squaw, everyone he saw
He loved a new one every night

A way out on the wind swept desert
I heard a big indian moan
I left my tent, 'cause I knew what it meant
I swore I never more would roam
It was dawn when I reached Saint Pete
My legs were certainly sore
I must have lost fifty pounds
On that hot desert ground
And I'd lose that many more

Big chief buffalo nickel
was a mighty man in his day
He never used a syckle
To clear the bushes away
He roamed around from tent to tent
Heed everything in sight
He loved his squaw, everyone he saw
He loved a new one every night

"Blood From A Stone"

"Blood From A Stone"



Baby, baby, I shoulda known
You can't get blood from a stone
And I can't get a love that's true
From you

Baby, baby, it's no joke
You can't get fire from smoke
And I can't get a love that's true
From you

Now you look so good, fine on the outside
You put me in a spin
You set me on fire, my hearts desire
What an awful fix I'm in

Baby, baby, I shoulda known
You can't get blood from a stone
And I can't get a love that's true
From you, oh yeah

Baby, baby, I shoulda known
You can't get blood from a stone
And I can't get a love that's true
From you, oh yeah
From you, oh yeah
From you

"Boppin' The Blues"



Well all my friends are boppin' the blues

All my friends are boppin' the blues
And it must be goin' round

Well the doctor told me boy you don't need no pills
Yeah that doctor told me son you don't need no pills
Just a handful of nickels and a jukebox will cure your ills

Well all my friends are boppin' the blues

All them cats are boppin' the blues

"Break My Chain"

"Break My Chain"



Oh won't you break my chain, don't turn me down
I got a body full of pain, I'm tired of being your clown
Oh there's a whole lotta fishes
In the deep blue sea, blue sea, blue sea
Baby don't keep 'em waiting, 'cause they're waitin' for me

At the drive-in-movie, every place in town
People see you with another, out runnin' around
Oh well the coal in the fireplace
Ain't gonna burn no more, no more, no more
Won't you break my chain, baby open that door

Oh won't you break my chain, baby set me free
'Cause I've had about enough of this misery
You've been spendin' my cash, talkin' that trash
All over town
Won't you break my chain, don't turn me down
Don't turn me down
Baby don't turn me down

"Bright Lights And Country Music"

"Bright Lights And Country Music"



I won't stay home and cry tonight
Like all the nights before
I just learned that I don't really
Need you anymore
I found a little place downtown
Where guys like me can go
And they've got
Bright lights and country music

Bright lights and country music
A bottle and a glass
Soon I'll be forgetting
That there ever was a past
And when everybody asks me
What helped me forget so fast
I'll say those
Bright lights and country music

A table by the bandstand
A bottle filled with wine
Honky tonks were made for men
With women on their minds
And nothing else can take away
This loneliness of mine
Quite like those
Bright lights and country music

Bright lights and country music
A bottle and a glass
Soon I'll be forgetting
That there ever was a past
And when everybody asks me
What helped me forget so fast
I'll say those
Bright lights and country music
I love those
Bright lights and country music
