"Reincarnation"

"Reincarnation"


If l was a bird and you was a fish
What would we do, I guess we'd wish
For re-incarnation, re-incarnation
Wouldn't it be a sensation
To come back too, like reincarnation

If l was a tree and you was a flower
What would we do, I guess we'd wait for the power
Of re-incarnation, re-incarnation,
Wouldn't it be a sensation
To come back too, like reincarnation

I love you, and don't you know I always will
You're a girl, I'm a boy,
But suppose you were a rose
And I was a whip-poor-will

If I was a bird and you was a fish
What would we do, I guess we'd wish
For re-incarnation, re-incarnation
Wouldn't it be a sensation
To come back too, like reincarnation

If I was a tree and you was a flower
What would we do, I guess we'd wait for the power
Of re-incarnation, re-incarnation,
Wouldn't it be a sensation
To come back too, like reincarnation

I love you, and don't you know I always will
You're a girl, I'm a boy,
But suppose you were a rose
And I was a whip-poor-will

"Ringing Up Rosie"

"Ringing Up Rosie"


Me and old Rosie we go back a whole lot of years
We've had some laughter and we've had each other in tears
Rosie and me are somewhere between lovers and friends
I need me some cozy and I'm ringing up Rosie again
Well I just got in town and it's twenty five minutes till three
But I bet a pretty that pretty girl's waiting for me
Cause she know's it's Monday and Monday's I always book in
I need me some cozy and I'm ringing up Rosie again
Rosetta whoa oh my Rosetta whoa oh oh oh
You're the one girl who's in my dreams
Me and old Rosie we go back a whole lot of years
We've had some laughter and we've had each other in tears
Rosie and me are somewhere between lovers and friends
I need me some cozy and l'm ringing up Rosie again
I need me some cozy and l'm ringing up Rosie again
Rosetta whoa oh my Rosetta whoa oh oh oh
You're the one girl who's in my dreams

"River In The Rain"

"River In The Rain"


River in the rain sometimes at night you look like a long white train
Winding your way away somewhere river I love you don't you care
If you're on the run winding some place just tryin' to find the sun
Whether the sunshine whether the rain river I love you just the same
But sometimes in a time of trouble
When you're out of hand and your muddy bubbles roll across my floor
Carryin' away the things I treasure hell there ain't ain't no way to measure
Why I love you more than I did the day before
River in the rain sometimes at night you look like a long white train
Winding your way away from me river I've never seen the sea

But sometimes in a time of trouble...

"Roll Away"

"Roll Away"


Roll away, roll away
A great weight, like a great stone
has rolled away

Roll away, roll away
A great weight, like a great stone
has rolled away

What a day, what a day
A great weight, like a great stone
has rolled away

Roll away, roll away
A great weight, like a great stone
has rolled away

Peace of mind, peace of mind
A great weight, like a great stone
has rolled away

Roll away, roll away
A great weight, like a great stone
has rolled away

Roll away, roll away
A great weight, like a great stone
has rolled away

"Ruby (Don't Take Your Love To Town)"
(originally by Mel Tillis)



You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere
The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down
Oh Ruby don't take your love to town
It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chores
And yes it's true I'm not the man that I used to be
Oh but Ruby I still need your company
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralized
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age Ruby I realize
But it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not around
Oh Ruby don't take your love to town
She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
Oh Ruby don't take your love to town oh Ruby for God's sake turn it out

"Shame Bird"

"Shame Bird"


Shame bird is flying shame shame on someone
Shame bird is flying shame shame on somebody
That someone is me don't crook your finger at me if you see me walking by
I'm not the same guy when I'm high ha
Well it may be outta sight and I can't see it it may be outta sight and I can't see it
It may be outta sight and I can't see it I guess the reason being maybe I can't be it
I say shame bird is flying...

Well it may be outta sight...

"Shannon's Song"

"Shannon's Song"


She's my baby lady
She's my baby child
Runnin' round in sun-suits
Drivin' daddy wild
Lovely to look at
Beautiful to see
Looking like her mummy
Looking up at me
Can it be the sun
Makes me feel so warm
Can it be the sunshine
In my arms
She's the shining light
Makes my day so bright
And sweetens all the dreams
I dream at night
She's my baby lady
She's my baby child
Looking like a princess
Such a pretty smile
Can it be the sun
Makes me feel so warm
Can it be the sunshine
In my arms
She's the shining light
Makes my day so bright
And sweetens all the dreams
I dream at night
She's my baby lady
She's my baby child
Looking like a princess
Such a pretty smile

"Some Hearts Get All The Breaks"

"Some Hearts Get All The Breaks"


Some hearts have all the fun they fall in love with one
And one says all it takes some hearts get out of breaks
Some people never cry life just goes flyin' by
They don't make no mistakes some hearts get all the breaks
And there are foolish hearts like mine time after time
The time began they play the game but they never seem to win
I guess I'll never learn some hearts got love to burn
I guess that's what it take some hearts get all the breaks

And there are foolish hearts like mine time after time
The time began they fall in love but they never seem to win
I guess I'll never learn...

"Some People Make It"

"Some People Make It"


The working man works while the boss man sits in the shade
The working man works while the boss man sits in the shade
Some people make it, some people got it made

I sing la la de-la what'll I do 'til I get paid
I sing la la de-la what'll I do 'til I get paid
Some people make it, some people got it made

Some people make it, some people got it made
Made in the shade
Some suck lemon, some sip lemonade

Yes I wanna walk tall when all of my dues are paid
Yes I wanna walk tall when all of my dues are paid
Some people make it, some people got it made

Some people make it, some people got it made
Made in the shade
Some suck lemon, some sip lemonade

"Somewhere There's A Lady"

"Somewhere There's A Lady"


Somewhere there's a lady with a special set of feelings
That would love to sit and listen to the things I have to say

Somewhere past the darkness that I see outside my window
There's a room that's warm and cosy and a place for me to stay

Somewhere there's a lady who is all inside a woman
Who will love me for my goodness and just throw the rest away

Somewhere there's a lady who will tolerate my madness
And who will look upon my sadness as a thing that goes away

Somewhere past the darkness that I see outside my window
There's a room that's warm and cosy and a place for me to stay

Somewhere there's a lady who is all inside a woman
Who will love me for my goodness and just throw the rest away

Somewhere there's a lady who will tolerate my madness
And who will look upon my sadness as a thing that goes away
