You Ain't Going Nowhere (Dylan) - 2:38
Clouds so swift
Rain won't lift
Gate won't close
Railings froze
Get your mind off wintertime
You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!
I don't care
How many letters they sent
Morning came and morning went
Pick up your money
And pack up your tent
You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!
Buy me a flute
And a gun that shoots
Tailgates and substitutes
Strap yourself
To the tree with roots
You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!
Genghis Khan
He could not keep
All his kings
Supplied with sleep
We'll climb that hill no matter how steep
When we get up to it
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!
I Am a Pilgrim (Traditional) - 3:42
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
Travelling through this wearsome land
I've got a home in that yonder city good Lord
And it's not not made by hand
SOLO
I've got a mother sister and a brother
Who have gone this way before
I am determined to go and see them good Lord
Over on that other shore
SOLO
I going down to the river of Jordan
Just to bathe my wearsome soul
If I can just touch the hem of his garmet good Lord
Then I know he'd take me home
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
Travelling through this wearsome land
I've got a home in that yonder city good Lord
And it's not not made by hand
The Christian Life (Louvin/Louvin) - 2:33
My buddies tell me that I should have waited
They say I'm missing a whole world of fun
But I still love them and I say with pride
I like the Christian life
I won't lose a friend while heeding God's call
For what is a friend who'd want you to fall
Others find pleasures in things I despise
I like the Christian life
SOLO
My buddies shun me since I turned to Jesus
They say I'm missing a whole world of fun
I live without them walking the line
I like the Christian life
I won't lose a friend while heeding God's call
For what is a friend who'd want you to fall
Others find pleasures in things I despise
I like the Christian life
I like the Christian life
You Don't Miss Your Water (Bell) - 3:51
In the beginning you really loved me
But I was blind and I could not see
But when you left me oh how I cried
You donґt miss your water till your well runs dry
I was a playboy, I could not be true
I couldnґt believe I really loved you
But when you left me oh how I cried
You donґt miss your water till your well runs dry
You're Still on My Mind (McDaniel) - 2:26
The jukebox is playing a honky tonk song
One more I keep saying and then I'll go home
What good would it do me, I know what I'll find
An empty bottle of broken hearts and you're still on my mind
The people are laughing and having their fun
While I sit here crying over what you have done
My pockets are empty, my last drink of wine,
An empty bottle of broken hearts and your still on my mind
Alone and forsaken, so blue I could die
I just sit here drinking till the bottle runs dry
To try and forget you I turn to the wine
An empty bottle of broken hearts and your still on my mind
Pretty Boy Floyd (Guthrie) - 2:37
Well gather round me children, a story I will tell
about pretty boy Floyd the outlaw, Oklahoma knew him well
It was in the town of Shawnee on a Saturday afternoon
His wife beside him in the wagon as into town they rode
Then along came the deputy sheriff in a manner rather rude
using vulgar words of language, his wife she overheard
Then pretty boy grabbed a long chain and the deputy grabbed a gun
and in the fight that followed he laid that deputy down
Then he ran to the trees and bushes to live a life of shame
Every crime in Oklahoma was added to his name
He ran to the trees and bushes on the Canadian river shore
and many a starving farmer opened up his door
It was in Oklahoma City, it was on a Christmas day
A whole carload of groceries with a letter that did say
You say that Iґm an outlaw, you say that Iґm a thief
Well hereґs a Christmas dinner for the families on relief
As through this life you travel you meet some funny men
Some will rob you with a six-gun and some with a fountain pen
As through this life you ramble, as through this life you roam
Youґll never see an outlaw take a family from their home
Hickory Wind (Buchanan/Parsons) - 3:34
In South Carolina there are many tall pines
I remember the oak tree that we use to climb
But it makes me feel better each time it begins
Calling me home Hickory Winds
I started out younger at most everything
All the riches and pleasures what else could life bring
But now that I'm lonesome I always pretend
That I'm getting the feel of Hickory Winds
It's a hard way to find out that trouble is real
In a far away city with a far away feel
But it makes me feel better each time it begins
Calling me home Hickory Winds
One Hundred Years From Now (Parsons) - 2:43
One hundred years from this day
Will the people still feel this way
Still say things that they're saying right now
Everyone said I'd hurt you
They said that I'd desert you
If I go away you know I'm gonna get back some how
Nobody knows what kind of trouble we're in
Nobody seems to think it all might happen again
One hundred years from this time
Would anybody change their mind
And find out one thing or two about life
People are always talking
You know they're always talking
Everybody's so wrong that I know it's gonna work out fine
Nobody knows what kind of trouble we're in
Nobody seems to think it all might happen again
Blue Canadian Rockies (Walker) - 2:05
In the blue Canadian Rockies spring is silent thru the trees
And the golden poppies are blooming
Round the banks of Lake Louise
Oh how my lonely heart is achin tonight for that girl I left behind
And oh what I'd give if I could be there tonight
With the sweetheart who's waiting for me
In the blue Canadian Rockies spring is silent thru the trees
And the golden poppies are blooming
Round the banks of Lake Louise
SOLO
Across the sea they call me and on and on a love so true
For the Blue Canadian Rockies and the one I love to see
And the one I love to see
Life in Prison (Haggard/Sanders) - 2:47
The jury found the verdict first degree
They swore I planned her death to be
I prayed they'd sentence me to die
But they wanted me to live and I know why
So I'd do life in prison for the wrongs I've done
And I pray every night for death to come
My life will be a burden every day
If I could die my pain might go away
SOLO
with trembling hands I killed my darling wife
Because I loved her more than life
My love for her will last a long long time
But I'd rather die than live to lose my mind
And I'll do life in prison for the wrongs I've done
And I pray every night for death to come
My life will be a burden every day
If I could die my pain might go away
If I could die my pain might go away
Nothing Was Delivered (Dylan) - 3:34
Nothing was delivered
And I tell this truth to you,
Not out of spite or anger
But simply because it's true.
Now, I hope you won't object to this,
Giving back all of what you owe,
The fewer words you have to waste on this,
The sooner you can go.
Nothing is better, nothing is best,
Take heed of this and get plenty of rest.
Nothing was delivered
But I can't say I sympathize
With what your fate is going to be,
Yes, for telling all those lies.
Now you must provide some answers
For what you sell has not been received,
And the sooner you come up with them,
The sooner you can leave.
Nothing is better, nothing is best,
Take heed of this and get plenty rest.
(Now you know)
Nothing was delivered
And it's up to you to say
Just what you had in mind
When you made ev'rybody pay.
No, nothing was delivered,
Yes, 'n' someone must explain
That as long as it takes to do this
Then that's how long that you'll remain.
Nothing is better, nothing is best,
Take heed of this and get plenty rest.
You Got a Reputation (Hardin) - 3:10
You got a reputation for running around
Ainґt gonna take your fooling, baby, you know you better settle down
Cause you ain't doin' nothin',you're just tearing your own reputation down
You keep on running around, you know that you
ainґt doin' nothin' but tearing your own reputation down
Now you got a disposition, you're putting me uptight
I know you're always fishing, baby, but I wonґt bite
Cause you ain't doin'.......
Tim Hardin's version:
You got a reputation for running around
Can't be my woman, you've let me down
You ain't doin' nothing but tear your own reputation down
Runnin' around
You ain't doin' nothing but tearing your own reputation down
Lazy Days (Parsons) - 3:29
It's a lazy day I'm down with nothing else to do
It's a crazy day I got a thing that I want to try with you
Now baby don't you go away please don't spoil my lazy day
Isn't it better didn't you know
Just sitting down here by my radio
I'm gonna make you worry none about your income tax
No there's no need to worry I'll teach you how to relax
It's a lazy day I'm down with nothing else to do
It's a crazy day I got a thing that I want to try with you
Now baby don't you go away please don't spoil my lazy day
SOLO
No you don't have to think about nothing to do
When I get you down to my barbacue
I'm gonna make you feel funny
And sparkel like a brand new dime
No I don't have any money
But I always got plenty of time
It's a lazy day I'm down with nothing else to do
It's a crazy day I got a thing that I want to try with you
Now baby don't you go away please don't spoil my lazy day
Pretty Polly (Hillman/McGuinn) - 2:56
There used to be a gambler who courted all around
There used to be a gambler who courted all around
He courted Pretty Polly, such beauty`d never been found
Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, come go along with me
Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, come go along with me
before we get married some pleasures to see
She jumped up behind him and away they did go
She jumped up behind him and away they did go
down into the valley that was far below
He rode her over hills and valleys so deep
He rode her over hills and valleys so deep
Pretty Polly mistrusted and then began to weep
They went a little further and what did they spy?
They went a little further and what did they spy?
but a newly-dug grave with a spade lying by
Oh Willy, hey Willy, Iґm afraid of your ways
Oh Willy, hey Willy, Iґm afraid of your ways
Iґm afraid you will lead my poor body astray
Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, your guess is about right
Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, your guess is about right
I`ve dug on your grave the better part of last night
She knelt down before him pleading for her life
She knelt down before him pleading for her life
Please let me be a single girl if I canґt be your wife
Then he stabbed her in the heart till her heartґs blood did flow
He stabbed her in the heart till her heartґs blood did flow
And into the grave Pretty Polly did go
He threw something over her and turned to go home
He threw something over her and turned to go home
Leaving nothing behind him but the girl left to mourn
He went down to the jailhouse and what did he say
He went down to the jailhouse and what did he say
I killed Pretty Polly and tried to get away
(Now gentlemen and ladies, I bid you farewell
Now gentlemen and ladies I bid you farewell
For killing Pretty Polly my soul will go to hell
Now a debt to the devil that Willy must pay
A dept to the devil that Willy must pay
for killing pretty Polly and running away
