"Viola Lee Blues"
(from "Crossroads" soundtrack)



The judge decreed it, clerk he wrote it
I say he wrote it down indeed
The judge decreed it, clerk he wrote it down
Give you this jail sentence you must be Nashville bound

Some got six month, some got one solid
Some got one solid year indeed
Some got six month, some doing solid here
But me and my buddies all got lifetime here, play

"Viva Seguin / Do Re Mi"

"Viva Seguin / Do Re Mi"


Lots of folks back east they say
Leaving home most every day
Beating the hot old dusty way
To the California line
'Cross the desert sands they roll

Getting out of that Old Dust Bowl
Think, they're coming to a sugar bowl
But here's what they find
Police at the port of entry say
You're number fourteen thousand for to day

Hey, if you ain't got the Do Re Mi, boy
If you ain't got the Do Re Mi
Well, you better go back to beautiful Texas
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee

California is the garden of Eden
It's a paradise to live in or see
But be live it or not
You won't find it so hot
If you ain't got the Do Re Mi

You want to buy a home or a farm
That can't do nobody harm
Take your vacation by the mountains or sea
Don't swap your old cow for a car

You better stay right where you are
Better take this little tip from me
Well, I look through the want ads every day
The headlines in the papers always say

"Volver, Volver"

"Volver, Volver"


Este amor apasionado
Anda todo alborotado por volver
Hoy camino a la locura
Y aunque todo me tortura, sé que rer

Nos dejamos hace tiempo
Pero llegó el memento de perder
Tú tenías mucha razón
Le hago caso al corazón
Y me muero por volver

Y volver, volver, volver
A tus brazos otra vez
Llegaré hasta donde estés
Yo sé perder, yo sé perder
Quiero volver, volver, volver

Muchas gracias, thank you

[English translation:]

This impassioned love
Goes on, compelling me to return
I'm on the road to madness
And although everything tortures me
I know how to love

We parted ways some time ago
But the moment of loss arrived
You had every reason
I heed my heart
And I'm dying to return

And to return, to return, to return
To your arms again
I will arrive where you are
I know how to lose, I can take it
I want to return, return, return

"Waitin' For Some Girl"

"Waitin' For Some Girl"


Well, I was robbed and I was framed
What ever happens now ain't no fault of mine
I got born and I got blamed
Guess I should have read that detour sign
I took off, I hid out
Jesus promised me he'd show me a sign
Just take your little world and show it up
You're askin' me buddy I'm tellin' you friend
You ain't gonna pin that rap on me this time
'Cause I'm waitin' for some girl to pick me up on her way down
She'll know me in the suspect book in the show-up line in the lost and found
I got burned, I got fried
There's someone out there waitin' just for me
Dirty blond, dirty mind
We're goin' on a tri-state kill-spree
Pedal's down, safety's off
Don't you try to take her love from me
I'm warnin' you, back out buddy
You ain't gonna steal her love from me this time
'Cause I'm waitin' for some girl to pick me up on her way down
I'm gonna get my money back startin' with the drug-store quack
That jerked me out and hit my back and never shed a tear
That old man's gonna be surprised, he'll be cryin' through both his eyes
When I walk up and say the jerk's right here
We're rollin' through your town tonight, skid marks on your face all right
When she picks me up on her way down
...

"Which Came First"

"Which Came First"


You may be a hater, you may be a lover
You can bet your life one destroys the other
I don't know how it all began, which came first
The egg or the hen

The moon comes up and the sun goes down
This old world keeps spinning around
Just as sure as the day turns into the night
What you do in the dark will turn up in the light
Masked man ridin' out across the land
Spreading destruction and moving his hand
He carries a ray-gun, shoots from the hip
Got your past in his pocket, your future's in his grip

You may be a hater, you may be a lover
You bet your life one destroys the other
I don't know how it all began, which came first
The egg or the hen

Now, you bet your life without a doubt
Asking a masked man to leat you out
He's got you so tight that you can't even see
That ray-gun is pointed right at you and me

You won't see it coming
You won't feel the blow
You won't get no warning
You won't never know
You can't start it sooner
And fix it up later
And you ain't going to read about it in the newspaper

Rich or poor, mighty and meek
Don't need no ticket, you've all got a seat
High up on the mountain, low down in the alley
We'll all watch the world turn into death valley

You may be a hater, you may be a lover
You can bet your life one destroys the other
I don't know how it all began, which came first
The egg or the hen

Better shake my hand 'cause time is winding up
Shake your neighbor's hand 'cause time is winding up

You may be a hater, you may be a lover
You can bet your life one destroys the other
I don't know how it all began, which came first
The egg or the hen

"Why Don't You Try Me"

"Why Don't You Try Me"


If your man has got you on the run why don't you try me?
If you wanna have a little fun, oh baby, why don't you try me?
If you tote more that you can bear, if your troubles been more than your share
And if things are not going just right why don't you try a man like me tonight?

Why don't you try me tonight?
Why don't you try me?
Why don't you try me tonight?
Why don't you try me?

Last night while I was trying to sleep
I heard a racket from the room next door, hum
And that was you and your man havin' a fight
Like you've done so many nights before

"Woman, I'll turn you every which way but loose"
Is what I heard him shout, uh-oh, look out!
So I jumped out of the bed and I opened the door
Just as you came runnin' out

And I hollered: why don't you try me tonight?
Why don't you try me?
Why don't you try me tonight?
Why don't you try me?

I ain't saying I'm all that you need
And I won't tell you, honey, you will be free
But all night, well, I will keep trying
And when I say I want ya, girl, you know I'm not lyin'
You see a good woman out on the streets these days, friends
Ah, a bad old man can't be hard to find, no, no
Kind of man who'd steal your heart
And call true love a crime

That's why I keep asking ya, baby
Why don't you try me tonight?
Do yourself a favor
Why don't you try me?
Regular man ain't treatin' you right
Why don't you try a man like me tonight?
Why don't you try me?
Why don't you try a man like me tonight?
Why don't you try me?

"Wildwood Boys"

"Wildwood Boys"
(from "The Long Riders" soundtrack)



This here was our situation
We was just young wildwood boys
New as the birth of the nation
The kind that the Army employs
High riding Rebs from Missouri
Fought for the grey [?]
Caught up by the battle and the fury
Back when just living was hell

After the battle was over
And after the Union had won
It was quitting that made us the loser
So we kept doing just what we'd done
Riding as comrades together
We looted the trains and the banks
Removing that carpetbag money
And sticking it hard to the Yanks

Death always follows behind you
When you ride down that old outlaw trail
Someday a bullet will find you
Or you'll rot like a corpse in some jail
Turning your back to the danger
Is a wager no man can afford
'Cause gold turns a friend to a stranger
Like old Judas turned on our Lord

Men are revered and remembered
While they lay in that coffin and rot
Some live in the legends of history
Most are forever forgot
The victory it goes to the strongest
And only the strong will survive
Survival is living the longest
But nobody gets out alive

The questions don't never get answered
And the rights, they're remembered all wrong
The facts, they can get plenty confusing
So someday if you happen to be singing this song
Remember it's just for the record
You can't change the handwork of fate
And tell 'em I lived for the moment
And I died when I tried to go straight

"Women Will Rule The World"

"Women Will Rule The World"


How different the ladies of long ago to the modern women that we all know
If you observe you are bound to see that sex has changed entirely
A long ago their one ambition in life, was to be a mother and a wife
Now they go out imitating the males by smoking cigarettes and drinking cocktails
Girls used to like to be school teachers, gradually becoming stenographers
We next hear of them as lecturers, authors and engineers
There is no limit to their ambition, they've even gone in for aviation
And if you men don't assert control your women will rule the world
Play a bridge!
Now they say anything that your man can do, they also can achieve too
And they've openly boasted to do their part in the literature and art
We will next hear of them as candidates for the president of these United States
And if you men don't assert control your women will rule the world
Now you hear on the radio and TV of a great national calamity
Story of tragic proportion coming from the White House in Washington
The facts in the case are clearly stated the president is being cruelly dominated
By a international conspiracy that threatens world peace and security

"Yellow Roses"

"Yellow Roses"


I just received, sweetheart, your yellow roses
You tell me that they mean that we're all through
You tell me that tonight your heart is broken
But you should know I was never untrue

I'll place them near your photograph and as the petals fall
They'll hide from you my lonely tears that shouldn't fall at all
Then they will slowly fade away and die
But I still love you though yellow roses say good bye
