I'm going up the country, babe don't you wanna go
I'm going up the country, babe don't you wanna go
I'm going to some place where I've never been before
I'm going, I'm going where the water tastes like wine
Well I'm going where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
All this fussing and fighting, man, you know I sure can't stay
Now baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know we've got to leave today
Just exactly where we're going I cannot say, but We might even leave
the USA 'Cause there's a brand new game that I want to play
No use of you running, or screaming and crying
'Cause you've got a home as long as I've got mine
Well, I'm so tired of crying,
But I'm out on the road again.
I'm on the road again.
Well, I'm so tired of crying,
But I'm out on the road again.
I'm on the road again.
I ain't got no woman
Just to call my special friend.
You know the first time I traveled
Out in the rain and snow -
In the rain and snow,
You know the first time I traveled
Out in the rain and snow -
In the rain and snow,
I didn't have no payroll,
Not even no place to go.
And my dear mother left me
When I was quite young -
When I was quite young.
And my dear mother left me
When I was quite young -
When I was quite young.
She said "Lord, have mercy
On my wicked son."
Take a hint from me, mama,
Please don't you cry no more -
Don't you cry no more.
Take a hint from me, mama,
Please don't you cry no more -
Don't you cry no more.
'Cause it's soon one morning
Down the road I'm going.
But I aint going down
That long old lonesome road
All by myself.
But I aint going down
That long old lonesome road
All by myself.
I can't carry you, Baby,
Gonna carry somebody else.
Together we'll stand
Divided we'll fall
Come on now people

And work together

Every boy, girl, woman and man
Left a good job in the city,
Workin' for The Man ev'ry night and day,
And I never lost one minute of sleepin',
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been.
Big wheel keep on turnin',
Proud Mary keep on burnin',
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis,
Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans,
But I never saw the good side of the city,
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.
If you come down to the river,
Bet you gonna find some people who live.
You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money,
People on the river are happy to give.
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.
I see the bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin'.
I see bad times today.
Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.
I hear hurricanes ablowing.
I know the end is coming soon.
I fear rivers over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.
All right!
Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we're in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.
Early in the evenin' just about supper time,
Over by the courthouse they're starting to unwind.
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up.
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp.
Down On The Corner, out in the street,
Willy and the Poorboys are playin';
Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile,
Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while.
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo.
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.
You don't need a penny just to hang around,
But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down?
Over on the corner there's a happy noise.
People come from all around to watch the magic boys.
Now when I was just a little boy
A-standin' to my daddy's knee
My papa said son don't let the man getcha
And do what hat he done to me
And I can remember the fourth of July
A-runnin' through the backwoods bare
And I can still hear that old hound dog barkin'
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Born on the bayou
Born on the ba-a-you
Born on the bayou do do do
Wish I was back on the bayou
A-rollin' with some Cajun queen
Wishing I was a fast freight train
Just a-chooglin' on down to New Orleans
Born on the bayou
Born on the ba-a-you
Born on the bayou do do do
Take me back down where cool water flows yeah
Let me remember things I love, now
Stoppin' at the log where cat fish bite
Walkin' along the river road at night
Barefoot girl dancing in the moonlight
I can hear the bullfrog calling me, how
Wondrin' if my rope's still hanging in the tree
Love to kick my feet way down in shallow water
Shoe-fly, dragonfly get back to mother
Pick up a flat rock skip it across Green River
Up in Cody's camp I spent my days yeah
With flat car riders and crosstie walkers
Old Cody Junior took me over
Said you're gonna find the world is smolderin'
And if you get a-lost, come on home to Green River
Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm, I know
It's been coming for some time
When it's over, so they say
It'll rain a sunny day, I know
Shining down like water
I wanna know Have you ever seen the rain
I wanna know Have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day
Yesterday and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard, I know
Been that way for all my time
'Til forever on it goes
Through the circle fast and slow, I know
And it can't stop, I wonder
I wanna know Have you ever seen the rain
I wanna know Have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day
I wanna know Have you ever seen the rain
I wanna know Have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day
Just about a year ago I set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune, Lookin' for a pot of gold
Things got bad and things got worse, I guess you know the tune
Oh, Lord! I'm stuck in Lodi again
Rode in on the greyhound, I'll be walkin' out if I go
I was just passing through must be seven months or more
Ran out of time and money, looks like they took my friends
Oh, Lord! stuck in Lodi again
The man from the magazine, said I was on my way
Somewhere I lost connection, ran out of songs to play
I came in to town a one night stand, looks like my plans fell through
Oh, Lord! I'm stuck in Lodi again
If I only had a dollar for every song I sung
N'every time I've had to play while people sat there drunk
You know I'd catch the next train, Back to where I live
Oh, Lord! I'm stuck in Lodi again
Oh, Lord! I'm stuck in Lodi again
Put a candle in the window
'Cause I feel I've got to move
Though I'm going, going

Long as I can see the light
Pack my bag and let's get moving
'Cause I'm bound to drift a while
Though I'm gone, gone
You don't have to worry, no
Long as I can see the light
Guess I've got that old traveling bone
'Cause this feeling won't leave me alone
But I won't, won't
Be losing my way, no, no

Seven thirty seven coming out of the sky
Won't you take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride
I wanna move playing in a travelling band
I fly across the land try to get a hand playing in a travelling band
Take me to the hotel baggage gone oh well
Come on come on won't you take me to the room
I wanna move playing in a travelling band
I fly across the land try to get a hand playing in a travelling band
Listening to the radio, talking ‘bout the last show
Someone got excited had to call the state militia
I wanna move playing in a travelling band
I fly across the land try to get a hand playing in a travelling band
Here we come again on a Saturday night
with your fussing and your fighting won't you take me to the rhyme
I wanna move playing in a travelling band
I fly across the land try to get a hand playing in a travelling band
I'm playing in a travelling band - playing in a travelling band
Won't you come and take my hand - I'm playing in a travelling band
I fly across the land try to get a hand playing in a travelling band
Long as I remember the rain been comin' down
Clouds of mystery pourin' confusion on the ground
Good men through the ages tryin' to find the sun
And I wonder still I wonder who'll stop the rain
I went down Virginia seekin' shelter from the storm
Caught up in the fable I watched the tower grow
Five year plans and new deals wrapped in golden chains
And I wonder still I wonder who'll stop the rain
Heard the singers playin', how we cheered for more
The crowd had rushed together tryin' to keep warm
Still the rain kept pourin', fallin' on my ears
And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain
There's a place up ahead and I'm goin' just as fast as my feet can fly
Come away, come away if you're goin', leave the sinkin' ship behind.
Come on the risin' wind, we're goin' up around the bend.
Bring a song and a smile for the banjo, better get while the gettin's good,
Hitch a ride to the end of the highway where the neons turn to wood.
You can ponder perpetual motion, fix your mind on a crystal day,
Always time for a good conversation, there's an ear for what you say.
Catch a ride to the end of the highway and we'll meet by the big red tree,
There's a place up ahead and I'm goin', come along, come along with me.

She drew out all her money of the Southern Trust
And put her little boy aboard the Greyhound bus
Leaving Louisiana for the golden West
Down came the tears from her happiness
Her own little son named Johnny B. Goode
Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood
Bye, bye, bye, bye - bye, bye, bye, bye - Bye bye Johnny - Good bye Johnny B. Goode
She remembered taking money out from gathering crop
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop
As long as he could play it by the railroad side
And wouldn't get in trouble he was satisfied
But never thought that there would come a day like this
When she would have to give her son a goodbye kiss
Bye, bye, bye, bye - bye, bye, bye, bye - Bye bye Johnny - Good bye Johnny B. Goode
She finally got the letter she was dreaming of
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love
As soon as he was married he would bring her back
And build a mansion for them by the railroad track
So every time they heard a locomotive roar
They'd be a' standing' and a' wavin' by the kichen door
Bye, bye, bye, bye - bye, bye, bye, bye - Bye bye Johnny - Good bye Johnny B. Goode
I'm gonna write a little letter, gonna mail it to my local DJ
It's a rockin' rhythm record, I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven, I gonna hear it today
You know my temperature's rising and the jukebox's blowing a fuse
My heart's beatin' rhythm and my soul keeps on singin' the blues
Roll over Beethoven telling Tschaikowsky the news
I got the rockin' pneumonia I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I got a rollin' arthritis sittin' down by the rhythm review
Roll over Beethoven, rockin' in two by two
Well if you feel it you like it
Go get your lover then reel and rock it
Roll it over and move on up just
A little further and reel and rock it roll it over
Roll over Beethoven rockin' in two by two
Well early in the mornin' I'm a-givin' you a warnin' Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle little I am playing my fiddle I ain't got nothing to lose
Roll over Beethoven telling Tschaikowsky the news
You know she wiggles like a glow worm, dance lie a spinning top
She got a crazy partner, oughta see 'em reel and rock
As long as she got a dime the music will never stop
Roll over Beethoven, (Roll over Beethoven), Roll over Beethoven, (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven, (Roll over Beethoven), Roll over Beethoven, (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues
Deep down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans,
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens,
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well?
But he could play the guitar just like a ringin' a bell.
Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! go!
Go, Johnny, go! go!
Go, Johnny, go! go!
Go, Johnny, go! go! Johnny B. Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunnysack,
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track.
Old engineers would see him sittin' in the shade,
Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made.
When people passed him by they would stop and say,
'Oh, my but that little country boy could play'
His mother told him, 'someday you will be a man,
You will be the leader of a big ol' band.
Many people comin' from miles around
Will hear you play your music when the sun go down.
Maybe someday your name'll be in lights,
Sayin' 'Johnny B. Goode tonight''
Strange brew kill what's inside of you
She's a witch of trouble in electric blue
In her own mad mind she's in love with you with you
Now what you gonna do?
Strange brew kill what's inside of you
She's some kind of demon messing in the glue
If you don't watch out it'll stick to you to you
What kind of fool are you?
Strange brew kill what's inside of you
On a boat in the middle of a raging sea
She would make a scene for it all to be ignored
And wouldn't you be bored?
Strange brew kill what's inside of you
Strange brew Strange brew Strange brew Strange brew
Strange brew kill what's inside of you
On a boat in the middle of a raging sea
She would make a scene for it all to be ignored
And wouldn't you be bored?

How does it feel when the day is over
How does it feel when the dark comes down
How does it feel when your room is a black sea
How does it feel when you're scared by the dark
How does it feel to feel
How does it feel to feel
How does it feel when a shadow moves you
How does it feel rushes by your bed
How does it feel when it finally holds you
How does it feel when you're thinking your dead
How does it feel to feel
How does it feel to feel
How does it feel when you wake in the morning
How does it feel feeling sun in the shade
How does it feel when you slide down a sunbeam
How does it feel bursting clouds on your way
How does it feel that the night is over
How does it feel I'll never see that again

Misses Applebee?
And for Marie I'd even swim the sea Misses Applebee,
I'm begging you to please be kind I want a chance
to change your mind about me, Misses Applebee.
Dear Misses Applebee

Far from the light of day - come on.
Leaving the world behind
And out of mind
A place we'll find
Where we can hide away.
Hideaway - come on
Where can we go and play - come on.
Just like the kids in school
We'll act the fool
Break every rule
In our own Hideaway.
Come on baby, they'll never find us here.
Made sure the coast was clear.
There's not a thing left to fear.
Hideaway - come on
That's where we gonna stay - come on.
In just a little time
You'll feel so fine
I'll make you mine
In our own Hideaway.
Hideaway - come on
Far from the light of day - come on.
Leaving the world behind
And out of mind
A place we'll find
Where we can hide away.
You walk right by
Head held so high
Can't you see why
It's so hard to love you
It's so hard to love you
Nights are lonely
You don't phone me
Just to show me
It's so hard to love you
It's so hard to love you
It's so hard to be your kind of guy
But I'll try, and I'll try, and I'll try
Must this go on
It's been so long
You know you're wrong
It's so hard to love you
It's so hard to love you
It's so hard to be your kind of guy
But I'll try, and I'll try, and I'll try
You turn up late
So sure I wait
You don't talk straight
It's so hard to love you
It's so hard to love you
You walk right by
Head held so high
Feel I could die
It's so hard to love you
It's so hard to love you
It's so hard to be your kind of guy
But I'll try, and I'll try, and I'll try
All the world has got its worries.
Every night has got its dream.
But its
Okay!
With your arms around me
Okay!
Now your love has found me
Okay!
When I feel I'm close to you
And you, tell me that its
Okay!
And I'll never ever leave you fonder,
You say
You were meant for me
We'll be together
Some day
And our whole wide world will seem okay.
Time for lovers have no meaning.
I want all the world to know,
That I'm
Okay!
With your arms around me
Okay!
Now your love has found me
Okay!
When I feel I'm close to you.
Why can't good things last for always?
Why must parting end our dreams?
It was
Okay!
Till he came between us
Okay!
Everything that's been, was
Okay!
There is nothing left for me to do
But to tell you
Okay!
Go and live your life and let him treat you his way.
But I'll spend my days and hoping maybe one day,
You'll come running back, and show me that its okay!
O - kay!
We all came out to Montreux on the lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile We did not have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water fire in the sky, smoke on the water
They burned down the gambling house it died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over we had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out it seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water fire in the sky, smoke on the water
We ended up at the Grand Hotel it was empty cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside making our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds we made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this I know we never will forget
Smoke on the water fire in the sky, smoke on the water
Get up in the morning slaving for bread sir,
So that every mouth can be fed,
Poor, poor me-Israelite
My wife an' ma kids dem pack up an'a leave me,
"Darling" she said "I was yours to be seen",
Poor, poor me-Israelite
Shirt dem a tear-up trousers a go,
I don't wan' to end up like Bonnie and Clyde,
Poor, poor me-Israelite
After a storm there must be a calm,
You catch me in your farm, you sound your alarm,
Poor, poor me-Israelite
You get a shiver in the dark it's been raining in the park, but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is playing Dixie, double four time - You feel alright when you hear the music ring
Now you step inside but you don't see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
Competition in other places - Oh but the horns they're blowing that sound
Way on down south - way on down south London town
You check out guitar George, he knows all the chords
Mind he's strictly rhythm, he doesn't wanna make it cry or sing
The say an old guitar is all he can afford - When he gets upon the light to play his thing
And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
He's got a daytime job, he's doing alright
He can play the honky tonk like anything - Saving it up for Friday night
With the sultans - with the sultans of swing
And a crowd of young boys is fooling around the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band - It ain't what they call rock and roll
And the sultans yeah the sultans play creole creole
Then the man he steps right up to the microphone
And say at last, just as the time bell rings
“goodnight, now it's time to go home” - and he makes it fast with one more thing
“we are the sultans - we are the sultans of swing”
Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-Bop-A-Lua, Baby What I Say
Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah, the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day
He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman
He do the song about the knife
He do the walk, he do the walk of life
Here comes Johnny and he'll tell you the story
Hand me down mu walkin' shoes
Here come Johnny with the power and the glory
Backbeat the talkin' blues
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah, the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day
He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman
He do the song about the knife
He do the walk, he do the walk of life
Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say
Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah the boy can play
Decidation devotion
Turning all the night time into the day
And after all the violence and double talk
There's just a song in the trouble and the strife
You do the walk, you do the walk of life
The continent of Atlantis was an island
Which lay before the great flood
In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
So great an area of land,
That from her western shores
Those beautiful sailors journeyed
To the South and the North Americas with ease,
In their ships with painted sails.
To them East Africa was a neighbour,
Across a short strait of sea miles.
The great Egyptian age is
But a remnant of The Atlantian culture.
The antediluvian kings colonised the world
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from far Atlantis.
Knowing her fate,
Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.
On board were the Twelve:
The poet, the physician,
The farmer, the scientist,
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends.
Though Gods they were -
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice
And let us sing
And dance and ring in the new Hail Atlantis!
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Josie, I won't fail ya,
I won't fail you, have no fear.
Josie, I won't fail ya,
Give me one more chance, the day is near.
The meadows they are bursting,
The yellow corn lies in your hand.
And with the night comes sorrow
As the tide of dawn sleeps on the land.
The long breezes are blowing
All down the sky into my face.
I've a weary kind of feeling,
Like my time has come and gone to waste.
I love you, darling Josie,
The trees of pine they grow so tall.
How come you came to love me,
When you didn't love me at all?
Josie I won't fail ya,
I won't fail you, have no fear.
Josie I won't fail ya,
Give me one more chance, the day is near.
My Josie looks a child now,
As she lies here on my breast.
In the night I think about her,
In the day I get no rest.
I cut me a young pine-cone
And I gave it to the river deep.
It sailed 'way by your window
Where you lay, so long in sleep.
God bless you, darling Josie,
With your sparklin' eyes so bright and clear.
Josie, I won't fail ya,
I won't fail you, have no fear.
Josie, I won't fail ya,
I won't fail you, have no fear.
Josie, I won't fail ya,
Give me one more chance, the day is near.
"Light My Fire"
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
