"I Wanna Roo You (Scottish Derivative)"

"I Wanna Roo You (Scottish Derivative)"


Twenty-third of December
Covered in snow
You in the kitchen
With the lights way down low
I'm in the parlor playing my old guitar
Speaking to you, darling, to find out how you are
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight

Come to me softly
Come to me quiet
Know what I'm after
I'm gonna try it
Snowstorm's on the way and we'll be stranded for a week
Come over to the window, look outside take a peek
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight

You know I am lonely
And in need of your company
Oh, let your love light shine on down on me

And we can just sit here
Look at the fire
Watch the flames leaping higher and higher
Tea on the stove food in the pan
Ain't going nowhere and we don't have many plans
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight

And you know I am lonely
I been in need of your company
Let your love shine on down on me
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
Woo you tonight, pretty baby
Woo you tonight, little darling
Woo you tonight, alright
Woo you tonight

"I Will Be There"

"I Will Be There"


Whenever the sunshine comes through
Whenever my thoughts turn to you
Whatever you want me to do
I will be there

Whether I crawl uphill
Try to not be through the mill
Just as long as I fit the bill
I will be there

If it's on a lazy afternoon in summertime
And you're drinking champagne and wine
Anytime, I don't mind
Even if I've got the blues
And after I pay all my dues
You decide to go for a cruise
I will be there

And if it's on a lazy afternoon in summertime
And you're drinking champaigne and wine
Anytime, I don't mind
And even if I've got the blues
I'm tired of paying oh so many dues
And you decide to go for a cruise
Going to grab my razor and my suitcase and my toothbrush and my overcoat and my underwear
I will be there

"I'd Love To Write Another Song"

"I'd Love To Write Another Song"


I'd love to write another song
But nothing seems to come
I'd love to write another song
To carry me along
Make some money, pay the bills
Keep me busy too
I'd love to write another love song

I'd love to write another song
I'm searching everywhere
Though I look for inspiration sometimes
It's just not there
I have to work, I have to play
I have to get in step
If I could write another love song
I know it sure would help

I'd love to write another song
Baby especially for you
I'd love to write another song
And feel things bright and new
In poetry I'd carve it well
I'd even make it rhyme
I'd love to write another song
Just to get some peace of mind

I'd love to write another song
To get some peace of mind

I'd love to write another song
Baby for some peace of mind.

"I'll Be Your Lover, Too"

"I'll Be Your Lover, Too"


I'll be your man
I'll understand
Do my best to take good care a you
Yes I will

You'll be my queen
I'll be your king
And I'll be your lover, too
Yes, I will

Derry down green
Color of my dream
A dream that's daily coming true

I'll tell ya
When day is through
I will come to you
And tell you of your many charms

And you'll look at me
With eyes that see
And melt into each other's arms

And so I come
To be the one
Who's always standing next to you

Umm, reach out for me
So I can be alright
The one who's always reaching out for you
Yes I will, yes I will

You'll be my queen
I'll be your king
And I'll be your lover, too.

"I'll Never Be Free"

"I'll Never Be Free"


Each time I hold somebody new
My arms go cold thinking of you
No one can take your place, darling, in my embrace
I'll never be free.

And when my lips burn with desire
No other kiss can put out the fire
Though I may try and try, no one can satisfy
This longing in me.

[Chorus:]
I'll never be free from your smile so tender
The sweet surrender in your eyes
I cannot be free when I remember
How you fill me with desire.
Just like a train tracks through my heart
Your love remains while we're apart
That kiss I gave to you
Made me a slave to you
I'll never be free.

[Chorus]

That kiss I gave to you
Made me a slave to you
I'll never be free.

"I'll Take Care Of You"

"I'll Take Care Of You"


You, you've loved and lost someone else
I can tell by the way that you carry yourself
Baby, if you'll let me, here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you

I've loved, I've loved and lost
Just the same as you
So I know exactly what
You've been going through

If you'll let me
Here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you

You may never, never, never have to worry no more
You may never have to cry
I'll be standing beside you
Dryin' your weeping eyes

So darlin', won't you say, won't you say
Won't you say, won't you say, won't you say, baby
That you'll be true?
You know, I've no doubt in my mind
Just exactly what I'm gonna do

And if you'll let me
Here's what I'll do, here's what I'll do
I'll have to take care of you

You may never, never, never have to worry no more
Say, say, baby, may have to cry sometimes
I'll be standing beside you
Dryin' your weeping eyes

So won't you tell me, tell me, right now
Say that you'll be true
There's no doubt in my mind
Just exactly what I'm gonna do

And if you let me baby, if you let me
My, my, my, I'll take care of you
Just what I'll have to do

I'm driftin', I'm driftin'
Like a ship I'm on the sea
Driftin', I'm driftin'
Like a ship I'm on the sea

Driftin', I'm driftin'
Just like a ship, a ship, I'm on the sea

"I'll Tell Me Ma"

"I'll Tell Me Ma"


I'll tell me Ma when I go home,
The boy's won't leave the girls alone.
They'll pull my hair, they stole my comb,
Well that's alright till I go home.

[Chorus:]
She is handsome. She is pretty.
She is the bell of Belfast City.
She is courtin' one, two, three.
Please won't you tell me, who is she?

Albert Mooney say's he loves her.
All the boy's are fighting for her.
They knock at the door and ring at the bell
Sayin' "Oh my true love, are you well"?
Out she comes as white as snow,
Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes.
Oul Jenny Murray say's she'll die
If you don't get the fella
With the roving eye.

Let the wind and the rain and hail blow high
And the snow come tumbling from the sky,
She's as nice as apple pie.
She'll get her own lad by and by.
When she gets a lad of her own,
She won't tell her Ma when she gets home.
Let them all come as they will
For it's Albert Mooney she loves still.

[Repeat 1st Verse and Chorus]

"I'm Confessin"

"I'm Confessin"


I'm confessin' that I love you
Tell me do you love me too?
I'm confessin' that I need you
Honest, honest I do, I do, oh yeah

In your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
I read such strange things
But your lips deny that they are true
Baby will your answer really change things?
Making me blue

I'm afraid some day you're gonna leave me
Saying, why can't we still be friends?
If you go, you know your gonna grieve me
'Cos all my life on you depends

I'm guessing, guessing that you love me
Dreaming dreams, dreaming dreams, dreaming, dreaming. dreaming dreams of you in vain
Woohh, I'm confessin' that I love you
Over, over, over, over and over again

Woohh I'm afraid some day, some day you're going to leave me
Saying baby can we still be friends, old friends now
If you go, if you go you know your gonna grieve me
'Cos all my life on you depends

I'm guessing that you love me, yeah
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming dreams of you in vain
Oh, I'm confessin' that I love you
Over and over and over and over and over and over again
I'm confessin' that I love you over and over and over
All over again, oh yeah

"I'm Not Feeling It Anymore"

"I'm Not Feeling It Anymore"


Have to get back, have to get back the base
I need to talk to somebody, I can trust
Too many cooks, are tryin' to spoil the broth
I can't feel it in my throat, that's all she wrote

I'm not feeling it no more, I'm not feeling it anymore
Not feelin' it no more, not feelin' it anymore

When I was high at the party, everything looked good
I was seein' through rose coloured glasses
Not seein' the wood for the trees
I started out in normal operation
But I just ended up in doubt
All my drinking buddies, they locked me out

I'm not feelin' it no more, I'm not feelin' it anymore
No feelin' it no more, I'm tryin' to give you the score

You see me up there baby, I'm on the screen
But I know better now, it's so unreal
If this is success, then something's awful wrong
`Cause I bought the dream and I had to play along

I'm not feelin' it no more, I'm not feelin' it anymore
I'm tryin' to give you the score, I'm not feelin' it no more

We all know that money, don't buy you love
You just get a job and somewhere to live
You have to look for happiness, within yourself
And don't go chasin' thinkin' that it is somewhere else

I'm not feelin' it no more, I'm not feelin' it anymore
Baby I'm tryin' to give you the score,
I'm not feelin' it no more

I was pretending all the time
I was givin' everybody what they wanted
And I lost my peace of mind
And all I ever wanted was simply just to be me
All you ever need is the truth
And the truth will set you free

I'm not feelin' it no more, I'm not feelin' it anymore
I'm tryin' to give you the score, just like I did before
I'm not feelin' it no more, I'm not feelin' it anymore
I'm not feelin' it no more, baby I'm just trying to give you the score
I'm not feelin' it no more, not feelin' it anymore
Not feelin' it no more
Not feelin' it no more baby.

"I'm Tired Joey Boy"

"I'm Tired Joey Boy"


I'm tired Joey Boy
While you're out with the sheep
My life is so troubled
Now I can't go to sleep
I would walk myself out
But the streets are so dark
I shall wait till the morning
And walk in the park

This life is so simple when
One is at home
And I'm never complaining
When there's work to be done
Oh I'm tired Joey Boy of the makings of men
I would like to be cheerful again

Ambition will take you
And ride you too far and
Conservatism bring you to boredom once more
Sit down by the river
And watch the stream flow
Recall all the dreams
That you once used to know
The things you've forgotten
That took you away
To pastures not greener but meaner

Love of the simple is all that I need
I've no time for schism or lovers of greed
Go up to the mountain, go up to the glen
When silence will touch you
And heartbreak will mend.
