| Daylight Katy She walks be the sea where the sea world is and she waits for the man to come. She lives in town with her high-heeled friends and she knows it's a long way down. But she doesn't have to get up in the morning with her hair so soft and long, Daylight Katy come on, Daylight Katy come on. If you can't follow me down, Daylight Katy, go home. Daylight Katy come on, Daylight Katy come on. If you can't follow me down, Daylight Katy, go home. She walks to the sea where the seaweed is, where the rust and the dirt runs deep. She lives nine lives in her midnight world while her old man's fast asleep. And she doesn't have to get up in the morning with her hair so soft and long, Daylight Katy come on, Daylight Katy come on. If you can't follow me down, Daylight Katy, go home. Daylight Katy come on, Daylight Katy come on. If you can't follow me down, Daylight Katy, go home. She lives by the sea when the summer wind comes and the sea don't mind at all. She talks to the sea when the sea runs wild and the waves run steep and tall. And she doesn't have to get up in the morning with her hair so soft and long, Daylight Katy come on, Daylight Katy come on. If you can't follow me down, Daylight Katy, go home. Daylight Katy come on, Daylight Katy come on. If you can't follow me down, Daylight Katy, go home. Sweet Guinevere Sweet Guinevere, you're off to the coal town tonight and your young brother Ernie's up in Pittsburgh PA. You know mother loves you, and dad's in the mine so don't go to the coal town, Guinevere, if you're kind.

She paints her thin lips in her dewy-eyed way then she says to the daughter, dear daughter, I pray, sweet Guinevere you're off to the coal town tonight and your young brother Ernie's up in Pittsburgh PA. You know mother loves you, and dad's in the mine so don't go to the coal town, Guinevere, if you're kind. Hangdog Hotel Room I go in for singing, I do it for my pay, but the kind of gig I can really dig is swinging at the break of day with a few good friends and neighbors into playing the nighttime tunes. So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room. I believe in magic, a little monkeyshines. But the kind of row I can really hoe is playing in tune on time with rhythms all around us we're like weavers at the loom. So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room, oh Lord, it feels so good to play a nighttime tune. So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room. When it comes to morning and going out at night, well, the kind of test that I like the best is rubbing the wrong girl right. And a few good friends and neighbors in to playing the nighttime tunes, so pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room, oh Lord, it feels so good to play a nighttime tune. So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room. With rhythms all around us we're like weavers at the loom, so pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room. If There's A Reason If you should need me deep in the night, my arms around you in shades of twilight, if there's a reason for living without me, just let me know and I'll move on. Down to the station with the big wheels burning, gonna get my ticket to play out that role which I've been given. Home is where the heart is but at times a good home must be broken. The wine has grown bitter from the harsh words we have spoken. If there's a chance for someone else to make you feel life is worth living, give it a try, oh lady, just let me know and I'll move on. Home is where the heart is but at times a good home must be broken. The wine has grown bitter from the harsh words we have spoken. If you should need me deep in the night, my arms around you in shades of twilight, if there's a reason for living without me and I'll go on living. Endless Wire I ain't got nothing to hide, my mind is an endless wire. I got both feet on the ground, I ain't got no one for hire. I ain't got a thing to show, my lines have all expired. So don't go fooling around and set my wheels afire. Down in the dark of a burnt out soul, there's a few good second hand dreams, deep in the dark of a heavenly night with you. Down in the black of a bottomless hole, there's a few good second hand scenes, deep in the dark of the heavenly blue where the sea runs green. I ain't got nothing to give, my life is an endless climb. My love's a paperback dream, I don't have nothing but time. I ain't got a thing to show, I don't know my own name. So don't go fooling around, and set my wheels afire. Down in the dark of a burnt out soul, there's a few good second hand dreams, deep in the dark of a heavenly night with you. Down in the black of a bottomless hole, there's a few good second hand scenes, deep in the dark of the heavenly blue where the sea runs green. I ain't got nothing to hide, my mind is an endless wire. I got both feet on the ground, I ain't got no one for hire. I ain't got a thing to show, my life is an endless dream. My love's a paperback dream, I ain't got nothing but time. Dreamland You come to me in times of need when you can't find anyone. You seem to be much better off now, there's a rainbow, number one. We could see life through the gutter then till it caused my heart to break. There was too much toil in dreamland and too much love to take. Sometimes I remember when we were all dressed up in style. I don't recall the gist of it all but you drove the young men wild. You could wrap me around your finger till it caused my heart to break. There was too much toil in dreamland and too much love to take. So if you need me near you, you can do it if you choose. There was too much toil in dreamland and too much love to lose. You make me do what you want me to do, then you run the rules on me. You seem to be the wiser now, could it be you've been deceived? Anytime you felt like trying, you would cause my heart to break. There was too much toil in dreamland and too much love to take. So if you need me near you, you can do it if you choose. There was too much toil in dreamland and too much love to lose. Songs The Minstrel Sang It's almost over, it's almost done and you can't put the blame on anyone. It's almost easy and it's almost fun, did you get caught with your britches on? "High derry day in the month of May" was the song the minstrel sang to the good of Robin Hood, Maid Marion and all the gang. His aim was mean and his shot was clean and his suit was the shade of evergreen. The folks he knew hadn't naught to fear when the sheriff was there, they were over here. "High derry day in the month of May" was the song the minstrel sang to the good of Robin Hood's good name and a place to run, he loved strong ale and a run down jail was the kind of a scene where he never failed. There was no man on the sea or land who could get Maid Marion on the trail. "High derry day in the month of May" was the song the minstrel sang to the good of Robin Hood, Maid Marion and all the gang. It's almost over, it's almost done and you can't put the blame on Marion. She almost made it to the friar's gate, but the old wooden bridge wouldn't elevate. Hi derry doon in the month of June Was the song the minstrel sung "High derry day in the month of May" was the song the minstrel sang to the good of Robin Hood's good name and a place to run, Sometimes I Don't Mind Sometimes I don't mind the sunshine, sometimes I need the rain. Sometimes I don't mind the fun times, sometimes they're all the same. When I'm thinking of you, there's a fever around, I don't know what to do when I'm drinking to you I get down in my shoes, in a waltz with the blues. Sometimes I don't mind the sunshine, sometimes I need the rest. Sometimes I don't mind a good time, sometimes I do what's best. When I'm thinking of you, there's a feeling inside which is long overdue. When I'm drinking to you, I get down in the mouth, tell me what can I do. Sometimes I don't mind the sunshine, sometimes I need the change. Sometimes I don't mind a fun time, to me it's all the same. When I'm thinking of you, there's a fever around I don't know what to do. When I'm drinking to you. I get down in my shoes in a waltz with the blues. If Children Had Wings There's a love I hold dear and it shines through each year, and it makes things seem different somehow. It's for better or worse, it's for people who thirst for a love that burns brighter right now. And it shines on and on till all sadness is gone and if children had wings I would sing them this song with a smile on my face and a tear in my eye, everything will be fine by and by. There were things that were said, there were things that were done and a wife cannot stand too much pain. And what I thought was best couldn't please her much less but my love still goes on, that don't change. And it shines on and on till all sadness is gone and if children had wings I would sing them this song with a smile on my face and a tear in my eye, everything will be fine by and by. And it shines on and on till all sadness is gone and if children had wings I would sing them this song with a smile on my face and a tear in my eye, everything will be fine by and by. And it shines on and on till all sadness is gone and if children had wings I would sing them this song with a smile on my face and a tear in my eye, everything will be fine by and by. The Circle Is Small It's all right for some, but not all right for me when the one that I'm loving slips around. You think it's fine to do things I cannot see and you're doing it to me, baby, can't you see that I know how it is. I can see it in your eyes and feel it in the way you kiss my lips. I can hear it in your voice whenever we are talking like this. I can see the way you look when his name is mentioned and I die. I can watch the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you close your eyes. It's all right for some, but not all right for me when the one that I'm loving can't be found. The city where we live might be quite large but the circle is small, why not tell us all and then all of us will know. I can see it in your eyes and feel it in the way you kiss my lips. I can hear it in your voice whenever we are talking like this. I can see the way you look when his name is mentioned and I die. I can watch the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you close your eyes. It's all right to leave but not all right to lie hen you come home and you can't say where you've been. You think it's fine to do things I cannot see and you're doing it to me, baby, can't you see that I know how it is. I can see it in your eyes and feel it in the way you kiss my lips. I can hear it in your voice whenever we are talking just like this. I can see the way you look when his name is mentioned and I die. I can watch the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you close your eyes. I can see it in your eyes and feel it in the way you kiss my lips. I can hear it in your voice whenever we are talking like this... |
