"Sea Cruise"

"Sea Cruise"


Old Man Rhythm is-a in my shoes
It's no use sittin' there just singing the blues
So be my guest, you got nothin' to lose
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise

Gotta get a-movin baby, I ain't lyin'
My heart is beatin' rhythm and it's right on time
So be my guest, you got nothin' to lose
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise

Oooh-ee, oooh-ee baby
Oooh-ee, oooh-ee baby
Oooh-ee, oooh-ee baby
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise

I feel like jumpin', baby won't you join me please
I don't like beggin', now I'm on bended knees

I gotta get to rockin', get my head off the rack
I gotta boogie-woogie like a knife's in my back
So be my guest, you got nothin' to lose
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise

Oooh-ee, oooh-ee baby
Oooh-ee, oooh-ee baby
Oooh-ee, oooh-ee baby
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise

Oooh-ee, oooh-ee baby
Oooh-ee, oooh-ee baby
Oooh-ee, oooh-ee baby
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise

Old Man Rhythm is-a in my shoes
It's no use sittin' there just singing the blues
So be my guest, you got nothin' to lose
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise

Oooh-ee, oooh-ee baby
Oooh-ee, oooh-ee baby
Oooh-ee, oooh-ee baby
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise

I said, oooh-ee, oooh-ee baby
Oooh-ee, oooh-ee baby
Oooh-ee, oooh-ee baby
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise.

"Shady Lady"

"Shady Lady"


Run your fingers thru my hair sweet darling
Run your fingers thru my hair
I want you when you never there sweet darling
Need you but I could not care

You got long black hair on your legs
And I like them smooth
You don't show me you care
You won't even move
That's why I call you shady lady

I wish I hadn't turn my head that morning
Wish I hadn't turned my head
Or listened to the things you said that morning
Listened to the things you said

I get away where nobody goes
And she finds me there
She won't leave me alone
She don't even care
That's why I call here shady lady, shady lady

They say, I say
You gotta lay it down the line
So get away-way I say
If you're only playing with my time
I gotta keep you off of my back
Cos you're making me feel so bad
I gotta get along, get along, get along
Without you now

Run your fingers thru my hair sweet darling
Run your fingers thru my hair
I want you when you never there sweet darling
Need you but I could not care

I get away where nobody goes
And she finds me there
She won't leave me alone
She won't even care
That's why I call her shady lady, shady lady

I gotta get along, get along, get along
Without you now
I gotta get along, get along, get along
Without you now
I gotta get along, get along, get along
Without you now

"She Don't Fool Me"

"She Don't Fool Me"


I just received a message from my mother
She asked me nicely not to bring the girl back home
She says that she's god lokking but she's crazy
Oh, but Mama dear, I knew that all along

She don't fool me
She thinks I only see what I wanna see
No, she don't fool me
She don't fool me

I needed someone I could call my mistress
To help me back from the fire to the frying pan
She's young enough to write me off as senile
But I'm old enough to read between the lines

She don't fool me
She thinks I only see what I wanna see
No, she don't fool me
She don't fool me

A very normal business transaction
Somehow turned into a daymare overnight
I know she knows I know she doesn't love me
She knows I know she knows it ain't working right

No, she don't fool me
She thinks I only see what I wanna see
No, she don't fool me
She don't fool me

She thinks I only see what I wanna see
No, she don't fool me
She don't fool me

"She Knew Too Much"

"She Knew Too Much"


She walked on by, she caught my eye
She changed tack, decided to stay a while
We built our home, we lived alone
The old ghost was following her around

She knew too much, she knew too much
She knew too much, too much for her own good
She knew too much, she knew too much
She knew too much, too much for her own good

She knew, she knew, she knew
Too much, too much
She knew, she knew, she knew
Too much for her own good

We cruised along loves broken song
For I knew then that something was wrong with her
Sure enough turned bad all that we had
It was man mean and swallowed her up again

She knew too much, she knew too much
She knew too much, too much for her own good
She knew too much, she knew too much
She knew too much, too much for her own good She knew too much, she knew too much
She knew too much, too much for her own good
She knew too much, she knew too much
She knew too much, too much for her own good

She knew, she knew, she knew
Too much, too much
She knew, she knew, she knew
Too much for her own good

Never again [?] a fall for her
Never again would she laugh, would she cry
Love falls apart, love breaks your heart
We are here now but never around for long

She knew too much, she knew too much
She knew too much, too much for her own good
She knew too much, she knew too much
She knew too much, too much for her own good She knew too much, she knew too much
She knew too much, too much for her own good
She knew too much, she knew too much
She knew too much, too much for her own good

She knew, she knew, she knew
Too much, too much
She knew, she knew, she knew
Too much for her own good

"Sheila"

"Sheila"


Sweet little Sheila, you'll know her if you see her
Blue eyes and a ponytail
Cheeks are rosy, she looks a little mosey
Man, this little girl is fine

Never knew a girl like little Sheila
Her name drives me insane
Sweet little girl, that's my little Sheila
Man, this little girl is fine

Me and Sheila go for a ride
Feel funny inside
Then little Sheila whispers in my ear
I love you Sheila dear

Sheila said she loves me, she said she'd never leave me
True love that will never die
We're so doggone happy, just being around together
Man, this little girl is fine

Never knew a girl like little Sheila
Her name drives me insane
Sweet little girl, that's my little Sheila
Man, this little girl is fine

Me and Sheila go for a ride
Feel funny inside
Then little Sheila whispers in my ear
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I love you Sheila dear

Sheila said she loves me, she said she'd never leave me
True love that will never die
We're so doggone happy just being aorund together
Man, this little girl is fine

"Sherri Don't Fail Me Now!"

"Sherri Don't Fail Me Now!"


Got a mess in my back yard, gonna clean it all up
It's time for doing things backwards, start strutting my stuff
Oh now the time has come to change
Strawberry fields, kicking my heels
Losing my place and forgetting my name

There's a cupboard in my room, got a skeleton key
Gonna crack it wide open, stop 'em following me
Oh now it's time to change it all
The ghosts are there, I'm tearing my hair
Chewing my nails and I'm climbing the wall

But it's all right, if I've got a problem you've got all the answers
Stay this night, I'll make it up to you in some way, somehow
Oh but Sherri, don't fail me now

Gonna get a black spotlight, gonna stage a new plan
Gonna wash away the blood stains, start scrubbing my hands
Oh no, but here it comes again
The dirty sea is swallowing me
I'm fighting for air and the danger expands

But it's all right, if I've got a problem you've got all the answers
Stay this night, I'll make it up to you in some way, somehow
Oh but Sherri, don't fail me now

But it's all right, if I've got a problem you've got all the answers
Stay this night, I'll make it up to you in some way, somehow
Oh but Sherri, don't fail me
Make it all right, if I've got a problem you've got all the answers
Stay this night, I'll make it up to you in some way, somehow
Oh but Sherri, don't fail me now
Oh but Sherri, don't fail me now

"Shine On"

"Shine On"


The evening sun went down
I tried to rise and shine
I didn't feel so good
I prayed for extra time
And I could see a light
Breaking through the night
Shining down on me

I had to make a stand
To find myself again
'Cos I was on my knees
And I was near the end
And then I saw a light
Breaking through the night
Shining down on me
Let it shine on me
Let it shine on me
Let it shine on me

Shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on

I opened up my eyes
To see the morning sun
And now the road is clear
And I am free to run
Yeah, I can see the light
It's burning so bright
Shining on down on me
Shining on down on me

And it was the light
That took me through the night
Shining down on me
Shining down on me

Let it shine on me
Let it shine

"Shy Fly"

"Shy Fly"


Come let me take you, said tiger to the fly
You'll never make me, said fly, I'm rather shy
I'm gonna get you, said tiger with a glare
His eyes were a shining, but fly she was aware

Shy fly keep on smiling, yes, keep on smiling every day
Shy fly keep on smiling, gonna keep on smiling every day
Shy fly keep on smiling, you're gonna keep on smiling every day

Miss Fly and Tiger turn each other on
But teasing and back-biting makes loving much more fun
Fly gets him together, and Tiger thinks he's won
But Fly, she keeps on smiling, he's not the only one
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Shy fly keep on smiling, and keep on smiling every day
Shy fly keep on smiling, well you keep on smiling every day
Shy fly keep on smiling, gonna keep on smiling every day

Shy fly keep on smiling, gonna keep on smiling every day
Shy fly keep on smiling, you're gonna keep on smiling every day
Shy fly keep on smiling, gonna keep on smiling every day
Shy fly keep on smiling...

"Slow Train"

"Slow Train"


I can't afford a ticket on an old Dakota airplane
I gotta jump a ride on a cattle-trucking slow train
I guess it doesn't matter
As long as I can get my head down in the sun

I wrote a rockin' song, gonna sing it at the station
I'll finish all the words when I reach my destination
I guess it doesn't matter
As long as I can get my head down in the sun

Hey mama, please now don't you fret none
Don't worry, but please don't you forget
Hey mama, please don't get upset none
I gotta leave to find me something better

Hey mama, things gonna work out fine now
Believe me, no need for you to write
Hey mama, things gonna work out fine now
I gotta friend who said that she'd invite me

I came here in the morning and I crept out in the middle of night
I gave nobody warning I was leaving and I felt it was right
Now I'm off again, it sure is feeling all right

Got a feeling that I'm leaving with a ticket and I won't jump a ride
It's no good you believing that my leaving was a wrong, it was right
Now I'm off again, it sure is feeling all right

I can't afford a ticket on an old Dakota airplane
I gotta jump a ride on a cattle-trucking slow train
I guess it doesn't matter
As long as I can get my head down in the sun

I wrote a rockin' song, gonna sing it at the station
I'll finish all the words when I reach my destination
I guess it doesn't matter
As long as I can get my head down in the sun
I guess it doesn't matter
As long as I can get my head down in the sun
I guess it doesn't matter
As long as I can get my head down in the sun

"So Ends Another Life"

"So Ends Another Life"


In a world of education there's no time for compassion
Life's a fire, never ending, bringing pain and then befriending
And like a fire that burns no light
And drifts to heaven, so ends another life

Is there time to care, it's only fair that life goes on
And on and on and on 'til in the end you can't go on

So ends another life to let this world go on
Don't cry for pity my friend, you never gave none

There's a hunter with his gun pointing upwards to the sun
Thinks a bird can feel no pain, if it can it won't again
And like a fire that burns no light
And drifts to heaven, so ends another life

Is there time to care, it's only fair that life goes on
And on and on and on 'til in the end you can't go on

So ends another life to let this world go on
Don't cry for pity my friend, you never gave none
So ends another life to let this world go on
Don't cry for pity my friend, you never gave none
So ends another life to let this world go on
Don't cry for pity my friend .....
