I just got your letter baby
Too bad you can't come home
Well I swear I’m goin' crazy
Sittin' here all alone
Since you're gone I got a mess of blues

I ain't slept a week since Sunday
I can't eat a thing all day
Every day is just blue Monday
Since you've been away
Since you're gone I got a mess of blues

Whoops there goes a teardrop
Rollin' down my face
If you cry when you're in love
It sure ain't no disgrace

I gotta get myself together
Before I lose my mind
I'm gonna catch the next train goin'
And leave my blues behind
Since you're gone I got a mess of blues

Whoops there goes a teardrop
Rollin' down my face
If you cry when you're in love
It sure ain't no disgrace

And leave my blues behind

top At The End Of A Long Lonely Day play

(written by Marty Robbins.
Duet with Loudon Wainwright III from the album From Hell To Obscurity, 1989)

At the end of a long lonely day without you,
When the world seems to fall in my face.
I'm all right through the day, but the day fades away,
And the long lonely night takes its place.

CHORUS 1:
Another day to wish that you were here,
I dread each lonely night that's filled with fear.
Oh, I've cried and I've cried these are tears that I can't hide,
At the end of a long lonely day.

At the end of the day, I go up to my room,
And I watch while the sun fades away.
And the lonliness there brings me grief and dispair,
At the end of a long lonely day.

CHORUS 2:
Another day to sit alone and cry,
It makes no difference if I live or die.
With a world locked outside I just lay there and cry,
At the end of a long lonely day.

CHORUS 1

top Come A Long Way  

(written by Kate McGarrigle)

Well we come a long way since we last shook hands
Still got a long way to go
Couldn't see the flowers when we last shook hands
Couldn't see the flowers on account of the snow

What did you do with your burden and your cross
Did you carry it yourself or did you crack
We all know that a burden and a cross
Can only be carried on one man's back

All my life I wanted to roam
To go to the ends of the earth
But the earth really ends where you started to roam
And you and I know what a circle is worth

Give me your hand for the parting touch
Fare thee well and thanks a lot
I know we promised to keep in touch
But you and I know that we both forgot

Let's drink a cup to what went down
There's not much left to reveal
I think I changed my mind after what went down
As to who in the end got the better deal

Ah we come a long way since we last shook hands
Still got a long way to go
Couldn't see the flowers when we last shook hands
Couldn't see the flowers on account of the snow

top Don't Look Any Further  

(written by Dennis Lambert, F. Golde & D. Hutchins)

Someone to count on in a world ever changin'
Here I am, stop where you standin'
What you need is a lover, someone to take over
Oh baby don't look any further

Strange when you think of the chances
that we've both been in a state of mind
Too cool to be careless. Looking for the right thing
Oh baby don't look any further

Tonight (tonight) we're gonna taste a little paradise
Rockin' all night long. Rockin' all night long
Daylight (daylight) I'll still be looking in your heavenly eyes

Oh we rocked on and on and on

CHORUS:

Oh baby don't look any further (further)

Rock you night long. Rock me all night long

(written by David Hidalgo & Luis Perez. From the album The Neighborhood, 1990, Slash Records 828190-2)

Down on the riverbed
Down on the riverbed
Down on the riverbed
I asked my lover for her hand

A red tailed hawk circled overhead
A red tailed hawk circled overhead
A red tailed hawk circled overhead
The church on the hill is what she said

A monster cloud like a big black hand
A monster cloud like a big black hand
A monster cloud like a big black hand
As she drew houses in the sand

Down on the riverbed
Down on the riverbed
Down on the riverbed
I asked my lover for her hand
I asked my lover for her hand

Then I heard a train whistle blow
Then I heard a train whistle blow
Then I heard a train whistle blow
And I knew it was time to go

Down on the riverbed
Down on the riverbed
Down on the riverbed
I asked my lover for her hand
I asked my lover for her hand
Now I asked my lover for her hand
Now I asked my lover for her hand

Why did I fall?
You don't even see me at all
I'm all alone
'Cause it seems
You're only mine in my dreams

And hey there Dream Girl
You sure are fine
You're so good looking babe
I wish you were mine
But if I ever win your love
Well you'll always be my Dream Girl

And in a crowd
You sure stand out
And usta ever and a whole lot oh yeah (?)
And if I'm lucky baby
Maybe someday well...
You'll be my Dream Girl

Hey there Dream Girl
What did you say?
Just for a moment
I thought I saw you look my way
Could it be honey
That you were dreaming, too
Well you'll always be my Dream Girl

top Eight Men, Four Women play

(written by Deadric Malone, orginally recorded by O.V. Wright, 1967 (Back Beat single #580))

(eight men, four women, oh that's the jury of love)

I dream that love was a crime
I was alone so lonely and blue
Because eight men and four women
They found me guilty of loving you

As they were taking me away
You were taking, I saw you when you were taking the witness stand
And I heard the lawyer when he asked you my love
Do you really love that man

It was eight men and four women
Well how could they how could they be so blind
How could they sit there our love that just sat there
And call true love a crime

.. and this is what killed me ..
Running tears rolled down my cheek
I felt so sorry for you
Cause in my heart I knew, oh baby I knew
That they would find you guilty too

It was eight men and four women
Well how could they how could they be so blind
How could they sit there our love that just sat there
And call true love a crime

bridge:
Judge your honour, Ladies and gentlemen as of the members of the jury
I intend to prove tonight beyond a shadow of a doubt
That we are innocent and true love is not a crime

(oh that's the jury of love)
That's the jury of love
(oh that's the jury of love)
That's the jury of love
(oh that's the jury of love)
The mean old jury
(oh that's the jury of love)
So mean jury

There's no guarantee
Smile's in the makin'
You gotta fight the powers that be
Got so many forces
Stayin' on the scene
Givin' up all around me
Faces full a' pain
I can't play my music
They say my music's too loud
I kept talkin about it
I got the big run around
When I rolled with the punches
I got knocked on the ground
With all this bullshit going down

Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee
Smile's in the makin'
You gotta fight the powers that be
I don't understand it
People wanna see, ya
Those that got the answers
Red tape in the way
I could take you in easy
That's just half the fun, oh boy
Seeking satisfaction
Keeps me on the run
I can't play my music
They say my music's too loud
I kept talkin about it
I got the big run around
When I rolled with the punches
I got knocked on the ground
With all this bullshit going down
Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee
Smile's in the makin'
You gotta fight the powers that be

If you & I can - we got the power
Fight it, got the power fight it........baby, baby
Fight it, fight the power

top Good Old Rebel play

(traditional; words written by Major Innes Randolph, Confederate veteran, 1866.)
The tune for this song was an old prewar minstrel song. It reveals southern whites' hatred of Reconstruction, and their lingering bitterness after the war. It was published with a connected article in Collier's Weekly on the 4th April 1914.
Last two verses adapated by Hiatt.)

Well I am a good old rebel, well that's just what I am
For this fair land of freedom I do not give a damn
I'm glad I fought against it I only wished we'd won
And I don't want no pardon for anything I've done

Well I hates the Yankee nation and everything they do
I hates the Declaration of Independence too
I hates that glorious Union, 'tis dripping with our blood
I hates that striped banner, I'd fought it all I could

Three hundred thousand Yankees lie stiff in Southern dust
We got three hundred thousand before they conquered us
They died of Southern fever, and Southern steel and shot
And I wish it was three million instead of what we got

Now I won't be reconstructed I'm better now the man
And for that corporate beggard I do not give a damn
So I'm off for the frontier just soon as I can go
I won't make myself a weapon and start for Mexico

One hundred years and later we still ain't learned a thing
Big business rules our nation where Reagan would be king
And do they really think it matters who fires the final shot
Well I am a good old rebel and God damn you if you're not

(written by Bruce Springsteen. From the album One Step Up - Two Steps Back, 1997)

Well they closed down the auto plant in Mahwah late that month
Ralph went out lookin' for a job but he couldn't find none
He came home too drunk from mixin'Tanqueray and wine
He got a gun shot a night clerk now they call'm Johnny 99

Down in the part of town where when you hit a red light you don't stop
Johnny's wavin' his gun around and threatenin' to blow his top
When an off duty cop snuck up on him from behind
Out in front of the Club Tip Top they slapped the cuffs on Johnny 99

Buzz a while

Well the city supplied a public defender but the judge was Mean John Brown
He came into the courtroom and stared young Johnny down
Well the evidence is clear gonna let the sentence son fit the crime
Prison for 98 and a year and we'll call it even Johnny 99

A fistfight broke out in the courtroom they had to drag Johnny's girl away
His mama stood up and shouted "Judge don't take my boy this way"
Well son you got a statement you'd like to make
Before the bailiff comes to forever take you away

Now judge judge I had debts no honest man could pay
The bank was holdin' my mortgage and they was takin' my house away
Now I ain't sayin' that makes me an innocent man
But it was more 'n all this that put that gun in my hand

Well your honor I do believe I'd be better off dead
And if you can take a man's life for the thoughts that's in his head
Then won't you sit back in that chair and think it over judge one more time
And let 'em shave off my hair and put me on that execution line

top Take Time To Know Her play

(written by Steve Davis. From B-side 7", I Look For Love, 1982)

I found a woman one that felt like a true love
She was everything that I'd ever been dreaming of
But she was bad I didn't know when
You could see a pretty little smile that would show
W'all I knew is what I could see
I knew that I wanted her for me
I took her home to my way
Mama wanted to see my future bride
She looked at this pose
Then she took me to her side

She said son, take time to know her
Love's not an overnight thing
Take time to know her
Please don't rush into this thing

But I didn't listen to my mama
I went straight down to the church
You see I just couldn't wait to have that little girl of mine
When I got home from work
The preacher was there
So was my future bride
He looked at this pose
Then he took me to his side

He said son, take time to know her
Love's not an overnight thing
Take time to know her
Please don't rush into this thing

Well it seemed like everything was gonna turn out allright
Until I happened to come home just a little bit earlier from work
And there she was just kissin' another man
I know what mama meant when she tok me by the hand

He said son, take time to know her
Love's not an overnight thing
Take time to know her
Please don't rush into this thing

Take time to know her
I said, take time to know her

(duet with Amy Grant. From the album Free To Be A Family, Marlo Thomas & Friends, 1988)

Mom put down the paper
Just to help me find my shoes
Kim likes chocolate donuts
So her cousin gave her two
Grandpa played with Julio
Took him to the park
If you forgot to thank someone
Say thank you in the dark

CHORUS:
Thank the Lord
Thank the Son
Most of all thank someone
Like the stars high above
One for everyone you love

Rich wrote a funny song
To Jack and Eleanor
Ed brought Andy comics
When he had to stay indoors
And Mrs. Rose went to Dana
When she waited out to deep
If you forgot to thank someone
Say thank them in your sleep

CHORUS

Friends are like a family
Families are like friends
All the world's your family
The chain will never end
When the night is lonely
And you're feeling miles apart
If you forgot to thank someone
Say thank you in your heart

top The Same Thing

(written by Muddy Waters. From the tribute album A Tribute To Muddy Waters.)

Make a man go crazy, a woman wear her dress so tight
Make a man go crazy, a woman wear her dress so tight
Must be the same thing make a tom cat fight all night.

Make you feel so good when your baby get her evening gown
Make you feel so good when your baby get her evening gown
Must be the same thing make a preacher lay his bible down.

Woah that same thing,
Woah that same thing,
Tell me who is to blame,
Whole world fighting about that same thing.

What makes all these men chase a big leg woman down,
What makes all these men chase a big leg woman down,
Must be the same thing make a poor dog a hurtin' hound.

Woah that same thing,
Woah that same thing,
Tell me who is to blame,
Whole world fighting about that same thing.

Oh that same thing,
Woah that same thing,
Tell me who is to blame,
Whole world fighting about that same thing.

top Too Close  

(written by James Dickinson & Ry Cooder. From the soundtrack Alamo Bay, 1985, Slash Records/Warner Bros 7599-25311-1)

I'm dancing with my baby
Like a brand new pair of cheap shoes
The kind that don't last as long as they should
You wear 'em out fast when it starts feeling blue
To be close almost too close

CHORUS:
Not falling apart just trying to leave
Looks like a razor won't fit in between
I'm dancing so close to my baby
and the whole world just turned upside down

No second chance is still worth a try
to kiss my lone aspirations goodbye
Make no mistake it's a cold cheating game
Your heart starts to break you know who's to blame
when we're close - almost too close

Not falling apart just trying to leave
Looks like a razor won't fit in between

top When Something Is Wrong With My Baby play

(written by Isaac Hayes & David Porter, originally recorded by Sam & Dave, 1967 (Stax single #210))

When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me
And if I know she's worried
Then I would feel that same misery
We've been through so much together
We stand as one and that's what makes it better

When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me
Just what she means to me, now
Oh you just wouldn't, you just wouldn't understand
People can't say she's no good
But oh she's my woman and I know I'm her man
And if she's got a problem
Oh oh I know, I know I've got to help her solve 'em

When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me
Sing it again
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me
...

top Wild World play

(written by Cat Stevens, original song on Tea For The Tillerman, A&M 1970)

Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
And it's breaking my heart you're leaving
Baby I'm grievin'

But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

CHORUS:
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart In two
Because I never want to see you sad girl
Don't be a bad girl

But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad out there

CHORUS

Baby I love you But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad out there

CHORUS
