Dixie Chicken
I've seen the bright lights of Memphis
and the Commodore Hotel
and underneath a street lamp I met a Southern belle
well, she took me to the river, where she cast her spell
and in that Southern moonlight, she sang a song so well.
If you'll be my dixie chicken, I'll be your Tenessee lamb
and we can walk together down in dixieland
down in dixieland.
Well, we made all the hot spots. My money flowed like wine
then that low down Southern whiskey began to fog my mind
and I don't remember church bells or the money I put down
on the white picket fence and boardwalk of the house at the edge of town
but boy do I remember the strain of her refrain
the nights we spent together, and the way she called my name.
If you'll be my dixie chicken, I'll be your Tenessee lamb
and we can walk together down in dixieland
down in dixieland.
Well, it's been a year since she ran away
yes, that guitar player sure could play
She always liked to sing along
She's always handy with a song
then one night in the lobby of the Commodore Hotel
I chanced to meet a bartender who said he knew her well
and as he handed me a drink he began to hum a song
and all the boys there, at the bar, began to sign along.
If you'll be my dixie chicken, I'll be your Tenessee lamb
and we can walk together down in dixieland
down in dixieland.
Two Trains
In 1966 I found my love
in 1967 I had all there was
and as my time went by I was satisfied
until that situation took me by surprise.
Now there's two trains runnin' - on that line
One train's me, and the other's a friend of mine
You know it would be all right, be just fine
if the woman took one train, and left the other behind.
Illusion it is just the same conclusion
I don't know how to play the game
of what it is or how it's going to be
when one train is my friend and the other train is me.
Easy, I say easy, I can't push or shove her
so I guess I really care
now I'm not one to hide my love behind a lock and key
but if things keep going the way they are there's no place left for me.
There's two trains runnin' - on that line
One train's me, and the other's a friend of mine
You know it would be all right, be just fine
if the woman took one train, and left the other behind.
Two trains, two trains, two trains, two trains...
Roll Um Easy
Whoa, I am just a vagabond, a drifter on the run
the eloquent profanity, it rolls right off my tongue
and I have dined in palaces, drunk wine with kings and queens
but darlin', oh darlin', you're the best thing I ever seen.
Won't you roll me easy, oh slow and easy
Take my independence, with no apprehension, no tension
You're a walkin', talkin' paradise, sweet paradise.
I've been across this country, from Denver to the ocean
and I never met girls that could sing so sweet like the angels that live in Houston
Singing roll me easy, so slow and easy
Play that concertina be a temptress
and baby I'm defenseless.
Singing harmony, in unison, sweet harmony
Gotta hoist the flag and I'll beat your drum.
On your Way down
TESTO NON DISPONIBILE
Kiss it off
One so sad, feeling's painful
You can't deny, there is no peace
Is no love, milk-toasted love
Ain't no velvet glove.
You were the child of some electric nightmare
and you could move mountains, the swords of fire
They keep you around to watch their house of gold
Keep the hungry away from the sacred grove.
You were holy and you made me wonder how
but you looked like a devil who would sieze and shake you down
on the hopes of a tyrant
no, one makes it over.
There is no peace
Is no love, a milk-toasted love
Ain't no velvet glove.
Fool yourself
Look out child your bound to change,
You can't ever stay the same
'cause if you keep on singin' the same old lines
You're going to look around babe and find your friend's out of town.
Watch out girl the words your sayin' don't really fit the play
Somebody else you might talk to now
Knows what you sayin' what you mean
They don't help your style.
You might say you ain't got a hold on yourself
You might say you always try your best
You might say you only need a rest
You might say you can only fool yourself
I said fool yourself
I said fool yourself.
Don't believe the words you read
They're written on the street
and every time you know you play their game
They'll knock you down and take your pride away.
See how bad you need to cry
but no matter how you try
It's the same old story once again
You always have number one who calls you friend
I call you friend.
You might say you ain't got a hold on yourself
You might say you always try your best
You might say you only need a rest
You might say you can only fool yourself
I said fool yourself
I said fool yourself
I said fool yourself...
Walkin all Night
Well she was plantin' her feet on the sidewalk
Listenin' for signs of the small talk
Waitin', hesitatin', got tired of all that waitin'
Decided to walk around - that blonde bull
She's been waitin' once again on the home town
there ain't enough room this time 'round
I gotta chasin' that woman all around town
Seems that satisfaction just can't be found.
'Cause she's a side street swinger
She's a side street swinger
Got a kiss on her lips for the askin'
just gotta keep movin' - She's bear walkin -.
She's gotta wiggle her way up them sidestreets
Lookin' for a ride through town
well, I've been savin' my money for a week
Tryin' to be somethin' real sweet
I can't find the one, you know my luck is so dumb
She's probably walkin' all over the street.
She's a side street swinger
She's a side street swinger
Got a kiss on her lips for the askin'
just gotta keep movin' -
She's bear walkin all night
She's bare walkin' all time.
She's been waitin' once again on the home town
there ain't enough room this time 'round
but the woman's too scared to try and slow down
those bulls will just love to take her down town - downtown.
She's gotta wiggle her way up them sidestreets
Lookin' for a ride through town.
She's a side street swinger
She's a side street swinger
Got a kiss on her lips for the askin'
just gotta keep movin' -
She's bear walkin all night
She's bear walkin all night
She's bare walkin' all time.
Fat Man in the Bathtub
Spotcheck Billy got down on his hands and knees
He said "Hey momma, hey let me check your oil all right?"
She said "No, no honey, not tonight
Comeback Monday, comeback Tuesday, then I might."
I said Juanita, my sweet Jaunita, what are you up to ?
My Juanita
I said Jaunita, my sweet taquita, what are you up to ?
My Juanita.
Don't want nobody who won't dive for dimes
Don't want no speedballs 'cause I might die tryin
Throw me a line, throw me a line
'cause there's a fat man in the bathtub with the blues
I hear you moan, I hear you moan, I hear you moan.
Billy got so sad, dejected, put on his hat and start to run
Runnin' down the street yellin' at the top of his lungs
all I want in this life of mine is some good clean fun
all I want in this life and time is some hit and run.
I said Juanita, my sweet Jaunita, what are you up to ?
My Jaunita
I said Jaunita, my sweet taquito, what are you up to ?
My Juanita.
Put my money in your meter baby so it won't run down
but you caught me in the squeeze play on the cheesy side of town
Throw me a dime, throw me a line
'cause there's a fat man in the bathtub with the blues
I hear you moan, I hear you moan, I hear you moan...
Juliette
Don't sing sad songs Juliette
'cause I heard you've been out to get it
I seen you dancin' all night long
what they said about you I hope it
Don't turn out wrong.
Red, red roses, lyin' on the ground
Heartache and pain
They call you by name
They follow you around.
Juliette talk sweet Juliette
Juliette.
The sky is all cast over
and the stars refuse to shine
and your lonely, your life is lonely
ah, in time.
Over here don't concur
He said you were out of control
but I don't mind if you were with her one time
so called prince of rock and roll.
Red, red roses, lyin' on the ground
Heartache and pain
They call you by name
They follow you around.
Juliette
I'm so sorry Juliette
Juliette.
