"Don't Change On Me"

"Don't Change On Me"


Girl, you're my sunshine,
take away the raindrops,
you make it all worthwhile,
make all the pain stop.
Just like a river,
keep love flowin',
don't let our world stop,
gotta keep it goin'.
Well, I love you just the way you are,
honey, don't change on me,
don't change on me,
don't change on me, yeah.
Girl, you're my lucky star,
honey, don't change on me,
don't change on me,
I said, don't ya' change on me.

I used to wonder
where would I ever find
a-some kinda happiness and peace of mind.
I was lured by the darkness,
and then you came,
bringin' the sunshine,
easin' the pain.
I love ya' just the way you are,
honey, don't change on me,
don't change on me,
I said, don't change on me.
Girl,
girl, you're my lucky star,
honey, don't change on me,
don't change on me,
Lord, don't ya' change on me.

If there's a heaven,
then this is my prayer,
I wanna know,
I wanna know if we will meet there,
and there forever
[won't] get together
in the sunshine,
no more stormy weather.
Well, I love ya' just the way you are,
honey, don't change on me,
don't you change on me,
don't you change on me.
Girl,
girl, you're my lucky star,
baby, don't change on me,
don't change on me,
don't ya' change.
I love ya'
just the way you are,
I love ya' just the way you are,
love ya' just the way you are.
Girl, you're my lucky star,
don't change on me,
yeah, don't change on me.

[Yeah, I don't know, a little bit out.] spoken at end

"Don't Go To Nightclubs Anymore"

"Don't Go To Nightclubs Anymore"


Don't get around much anymore
The smoke has driven me out the door
All night I used to walk the floor
Don't go to nightclubs anymore

Don't see my old friend Mose
I don't run into Mr. Clive
I cut out all that off the wall jive
I don't go to nightclubs no more

I'm not a legend in my own mind
Don't need juice to unwind
And don't have no need to pretend
Ain't got no huckleberry friend

Alcohol was too big a price
Listen I just said no dice
When it comes to the men and the mice
Don't go to nightclubs anymore

I'm not a legend in my own mind
Don't need booze to unwind
Don't have no reason to pretend
Ain't got no huckleberry friend

Alcohol was too big a price
That why I said hey no dice
When it comes to men or mice
Don't go to nightclubs no more

Don't go to nightclubs no more
Don't go to nightclubs no more
Don't go to nightclubs no more, I'm such a bore
Don't go to nightclubs no more

"Don't Worry About A Thing"

"Don't Worry About A Thing"


If this life is driving you to drink
Sitting round what's the use what to think
Well I've got some consolation
Give it to you if I might
You know I don't worry about a thing because
Nothing's gonna turn out right

Well this world's just one big troubled spot
Some have plenty, some have not
I've used to be troubled but
I finally saw the light
Now I don't worry about a thing because I know
Nothing's gonna be alright

You spend your time trying to be the big winner
The minute you'll get fat somebody else will get thinner
There's always somebody messing with dynamite
You know I don't worry about a thing because I know
Nothing's gonna turn out right

"Don't Worry About Tomorrow"

"Don't Worry About Tomorrow"


Don't worry about tomorrow
That ain't gonna help you none
Don't worry about tomorrow
That ain't gonna help you none
You've gotta live and take each day as it comes

It may not be exactly what you're looking for
It may not be exactly what you're looking for
But what you're looking for ain't gonna come walking
Through your front hall door, oh no

So, don't worry about tomorrow
Gotta live each day as it comes
Don't worry about tomorrow
You gotta live each day as it comes
It's the only way you seem to get things done

"Don't You Make Me High"

"Don't You Make Me High"


Oh don't you feel my leg, don't you feel my leg
'Cos if you feel my leg, you'll want to feel my thigh
Don't you feel my thigh, you'll wanna move up high
So don't you feel my leg

Don't you buy no rye, don't you buy no rye
'Cos if you buy me some rye, you gonna make me high
If you make me high, you'll wanna loosen my tie
Don't you buy no rye

Now you say you'll take me out, buy me gin and wine
You got something different on your mind
Say we're gonna have a lovely time
But what I got I know is mine

Don't you feel my leg, don't you feel my leg
'Cos if you feel my leg, you'll want to feel my thigh
If you feel my thigh, you're gonna get a surprise
Don't you feel my leg

Now you say you'll take me out buy me gin and wine
Honey, you got something on your mind
Say we're gonna have a lovely time
What I got I know is mine

Don't you feel my leg, don't you feel my leg
'Cos if you feel my leg, you'll wanna feel my thigh
If you feel my thigh, you'll want to move up high
You're gonna get a surprise
So, don't you feel my leg
So, don't you feel my leg
So, don't you feel my leg

"Don't You Rock Me Daddio"


Me and my daddy was comin' into town
(Sail away lady sail away)
Round the billygoat leadin' a hound
(Sail away lady sail away)

Well my old auntie promised me
(Sail away lady sail away)
When she'd die she'd will to me
(Sail away lady sail away)
She lived so long her head got bald
(Sail away lady sail away)
She got out the notes and the dimes and all
(Sail away lady sail away)

Don't you rock me daddio
Don't you rock me daddio
Don't you rock me daddio

"Down The Road"

"Down The Road"


Well it's down the road I go
And I got those worried
Lonesome homesick Jones
Way on down the road

Well it's down the road I go
Well I got the blues
From way down in New Orleans
Way on down the road

And I got to be so far away
Oh don't you see
All our memories, dreams and reflections
That keep haunting me

Well it's down the road I go
And I hear those gypsy voices
Calling me
Way on down the road

Well I got to be
So far away in my memory
Dreams and reflections come on
Keep on back haunting me

Well it's down the road I go
Well I got the blues
From down in New Orleans
Way on down the road

Well it's down the road I go
Well I ve got the worried
Lonesome homesick Jones
Way on down the road

Way on down the road
Oh down the road
Way on down the road baby come on
Way on down the road
Trying to find my way back home
Trying to find my way back home

Further on down the road
Trying to find my way back home
Further on down the road
Down the road of peace
Down the road of peace
Down the road of peace baby

"Down To Earth"

"Down To Earth"


Well, I wake up
and I'm slowly
a-comin' down.
I'm just tryin'
to get my feet back
on the ground.
I got more
of an idea
just exactly
what I'm worth.
Baby, baby, I wake up
and I'm comin'
down to earth.
Yeah, baby, baby, I wake up
and I'm comin'
down to earth.
Was I
ever wrong
about so much?
That's all you get,
get completely
out of touch.
And it's a very, very, very, very painful thing
when you witness your
death and your birth.
Baby, baby, baby, I wake up,
I wake up
and I'm comin'
down to earth.
Yeah,
baby, baby, baby, I wake up
and I'm comin'
down to earth,
yeah.

Back here,
back here
on the planet,
a-been a long, long, long fall,
but that's
always just a problem
when you think you know it all.
And it's a very, very, very, very, very painful thing
when you witness your own
death and your birth.
Baby, baby, I wake up, I wake up
and I'm comin'
down to earth.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I wake up
and I'm comin'

got in my car and I drove

down the road.
I woke up,
I woke up,
and I woke up,
yeah, yeah, yeah I,
babe, I wake up,
I wake up,
I wake up.

"Drumshanbo Hustle"

"Drumshanbo Hustle"


Lord have mercy! Feel so good
I think I'm gonna work

I was talking to the judge, just before we left the countryside
Piece of paper in his hand, tryin' to find the way
Tryin' to rip it out, well now I've got it all around
Tore the pages up before they brought the curtain down

I remember the day, the "Drumshanbo Hustle"
When you couldn't hear a bird, it was making not a sound
They were trying to muscle in, an easy way to bring the money in
You were puking up your guts
When you looked at the standard contract you just signed

Prostitution on the run, 'cepting when it was soliciting
Tryin' to drain them all dry, got hung up by the rope
Magazines and books, clearly undefinable
Wiped the clean slate, and pulled the rug from underneath her feet

I remember the day, the "Drumshanbo Hustle"
When you couldn't hear no birds, 'cos they were making not a sound
They were trying to muscle in, the recording and the publishing
You were puking up your guts
When you read the standard contract you just signed, alright!

New York hooker by the neck, reads your Tarot cards and astronomy
Hey, I want to get your stars but don't know your sign
It was taking time to get the message through to it
But will hand down shake you one, and a letter five "T" rhyme
No sign poker

Oh, remember the day, the 'Drumshanbo Hustle'
Couldn't hear a bird, Lord, you couldn't hear no sound
They were trying to muscle in
On the gigs and the recording and the publishing
You were puking up your guts
When you read the standard contract you just signed
You were puking up your guts
When you read the standard contract that you signed
You were puking up your guts
When you read the standard contract you just signed

"Dweller On The Threshold"

"Dweller On The Threshold"


I'm a dweller on the threshold
And I'm waiting at the door
And I'm standing in the darkness
I don't want to wait no more

I have seen without perceiving
I have been another man
Let me pierce the realm of glamour
So I know just what I am

I'm a dweller on the threshold
And I'm waiting at the door
And I'm standing in the darkness
I don't want to wait no more

Feel the angel of the present
In the mighty crystal fire
Lift me up consume my darkness
Let me travel even higher

I'm a dweller on the threshold
As I cross the burning ground
Let me go down to the water
Watch the great illusion drown

I'm a dweller on the threshold
And I'm waiting at the door
And I'm standing in the darkness
I don't want to wait no more

I'm gonna turn and face the music
The music of the spheres
Lift me up consume my darkness
When the midnight disappears

I will walk out of the darkness
And I'll walk into the light
And I'll sing the song of ages
And the dawn will end the night

I'm a dweller on the threshold
And I'm waiting at the door
And I'm standing in the darkness
I don't want to wait no more

I'm a dweller on the threshold
And I cross some burning ground
And I'll go down to the water
Let the great illusion drown

I'm a dweller on the threshold
And I'm waiting at the door
And I'm standing in the darkness
I don't want to wait no more

I'm a dweller on the threshold
Dweller on the threshold
I'm a dweller on the threshold
I'm a dweller on the threshold
