LAZY AFTERNOON
Lazy afternoon, whistlin' a tune
Strollin' down the avenue
Besse and me, a coconut tree
And all the times we ever knew
No sooner than this, she plants a sweet kiss
Strummin' on the ol' banjo
Send me away back to yesterday
Sing me all the songs you know
A tropical sometimes
It's the way the sun shines
Gimme some of that good time roll
Marmelade sky, a girl and a guy
Easy livin's such a sin
Lay back in the grass, don't move too fast
And think about the mood you're in
No sooner that that, she puts on my hat
Strummin' on the ol' guitar
Wish I could play along the A1A
Sing you all the songs there are
A tropical sometimes
It's the way the sun shines
Gimme some of that good time roll
In my new life, I got me a wife
It took me about a week or two
Besse and me and the family
And a crazy dog named Blue
Lazy afternoon, whistlin' a tune
Strollin' down the avenue
Besse and me, it's so plain to see
We got the recipe for you
A tropical sometimes
It's the way the sun shines
Gimme some of that good time roll

MISTER MOON
Mister Moon
You can take my breath away
You can make me a lucky day
Mister Moon
Mister Moon
You can shake my blues astray
You can shake them far away
Mister Moon
It's good to see you happy
Hope you never cry
I can hear you whisper
Sweet lullaby, Sweet lullaby
Mister moon
You can smile on my parade
You can light up my charade
Mister Moon
Mister Moon
You can take me to the stars
You can shake me way past Mars
Mister Moon
Won't you take me with you
Don't you let me cry
I can hear you whisper
Sweet lullaby, Sweet lullaby
Mister Moon
You can chase them clouds away
You can chase them to the Milky Way
Mister Moon
Mister Moon
You can shake my blues astray
You can shake them far away
Mister Moon
It's good to see you happy
Hope you never cry
I can hear you whisper
Sweet lullaby, Sweet lullaby
Sweet lullaby, Sweet lullaby

If It's Love

IF IT'S LOVE
How I love the rainy weather
An' it's so good when we're together
If it's love I can hardly believe it
An' if it's love maybe the raincloud conceives it
An' if it's love don't you ever go and leave it
No no no, don't you go and leave it
I like to hear the pitter patter
An' how we live doesn't matter
If it's love I can hardly explain it
An' if it's love maybe the raincloud contains it
An' if it's love don't you ever go and claim it
No, no no, don't you go and claim it
It's only love who can take a friend inside a friend
It's only love who can make a day last to the end
How I love the rollin' thunder
You never know the spell you're under
If it's love I can hardly arrange it
An' if it's love maybe the raincloud retains it
An' if it's love don't you ever go and exchange it
No, no no, don't you go and exchange it

BLUE EVENING
Sun goes down, moon rise up
Blues walk in, better cover up
You never lose, never win
It's a blue evening
Run around all over town
Can't be found in the underground
You're never here, never there
It's a blue evening
The day is gone to God knows where
I'm all alone in everyone's hair
Play the fool, play the square
And I'm going home because nobody, nobody, nobody cares
I can see and I can say
Blues walk in at the end of the day
You're never alive, never free
It's a blue evening
Catch a train to the park
Who's to blame when it gets so dark
You're never rich, never poor
It's a blue evening
The day is gone to God knows where
I'm all alone in everyone's hair
Play the fool, play the square
And I'm going home because nobody, nobody, nobody cares
Sun goes down, moon rise up
Blues walk in, better cover up
You never lose, never win
It's a blue evening

Life in the Country

LIFE IN THE COUNTRY
Life in the country is hard to compare
Fresh golden mornings breathe in the air
Free as a breeze flowing through the trees
Pocket full of dreams hold me in
Up on the hillside where wild tulips bloom
Watching the night disappear in its gloom
Look at the sky so hazy and blue
Sunrise and I in another world with you
Down by the wooden bridge in the valley below
There stand the willows where the cool streams flow
Lay back our heads nothing to do
But watch how we grow and how we make do
Life in the country is hard to define
Something like heaven and sweet apple wine
Free as an eagle spreading its wings
Orchard of dreams hold me in

FRECKLES AND CURLS
My little girl's got freckles and curls
And lips that are sweet as apple wine
My little girl she moves me
And I thank the Lord that she's mine
My little girl has a string full of pearls
And wishes that are as sweet as heaven above
My little girl she moves me
And I thank the Lord for her love
All the stars in the sky
Shining down on you and I
Fall asleep on my shoulder if you may
'Cause you're a happy little wonder and I love you
And I hope you never go away
My little girl has her own little world
With kisses that are as sweet as a summer day
My little girl she moves me
And I thank the Lord as I pray
All the stars in the sky
Shining down on you and I
Fall asleep on my shoulder if you may
'Cause you're a happy little wonder and I love you
And I hope you never go away

I'm Goin' Away

I'M GOIN' AWAY
If you ask me where I'm goin', I don't know what I'd say
I'll just try to keep on livin', livin' everyday
Who are you foolin' when you're not foolin' me
You can spend a lifetime learnin', learnin' how to be
If you call me when I'm walkin', I won't know what to do
We can spend the whole night talkin'
Things that we should do
Who are you foolin' when you're around about
You can spend a lifetime losin' and never find it out
I'm goin' away, I'm leavin' you with what you've given me
I'll live my life much like a refugee
I'll catch a train and lose the pain along the windin' track
I'm goin' away, I'm leavin' you, I'm never comin' back
If you try to stop me leavin', I don't know what I'd do
Long ago I stopped believin' the thought of me and you
Who are you foolin' when the fool is me
You can spend a lifetime dealin', nothin' is for free
I'm goin' away, I'm leavin' you with what you've given me
I'll live my life much like a refugee
I'll catch a train and lose the pain along the windin' track
I'm goin' away, I'm leavin' you, I'm never comin' back
If you ask me where I'm goin', I don't know what I'd say
I'll just try to keep on livin', livin' everyday
Who are you foolin' when you're not foolin' me
You can spend a lifetime learnin', learnin' how to be

On the Milkrun Train

ON THE MILKRUN TRAIN
Oh I’d like to say that I’m on my way
Headin’ south on the mikrun train
If yesterday’s life is a hobo’s life
Then I want it to stay the same
I paid my dues and wore out my walkin’ shoes
Will I make it back again
‘Cause a way down south I got me a claim
A little piece of land in my daddy’s name
I wanna go back from where I came
To spread my ashes in the wind and the rain
I’ll lie in the cold ‘till the mornin’ after
Outside some motel room
I’ll cover my head with a newspaper bed
And I hope I getta warm real soon
I’m a ramblin’ man and I’ll live if I can
Long before the time I’m dead
‘Cause a way down south…
Runnin’ in the mornin’ catchin’ wind to catch a ride
10:30 train whistle blowin’ outside
Hoppin’ on a cattle car wonderin’ where to hide
Lookin down to the town, waving goodbye
Oh I wanna go back from where I came
Train whistle track will take me there again
I’ll drift on down to the heart of the land
Don’t know a better way to go
None of that talk about all the hard luck
It’s good for the inner soul
I’ll be movin’ on down from town to town
I’m as lucky as a man can be
‘Cause a way down south I got me a claim
I've done a full circle on the railway chain
I wanna go back from where I came
To spread my ashes in the wind and the rain
A way down south I got me a claim
A little piece of land in my daddy’s name
I wanna go back from where I came
To spread my ashes in the wind and the rain

SOMEWHERE BEYOND THE BLUE
There's a calm in the morning when the morning comes by
I'm so high in it's glory, my tears all run dry
Such a hard winding road behind, well I've made it alright
Spent some hard lazy days inside and many a lonely night
All the plans I've been making ever since I was born
Somehow left me unjustly forsaken, my pockets were torn
Just a man in this universe left with no name
Could you see me crawling in the dirt
It'll never be the same again
In a dream you were crying, your tears falling down
And I guess you won't be coming 'till your direction is found
Well I know there's a heaven 'somewhere beyond the blue'
If I meet a song of angels, I'll tell them about you
Oh I've done a cross town journey, nice to be coming home
And I'm feeling tired and hungry, don't mind being all alone
Well I know there's a constellation somewhere in the night
So carry on believing until the time is right
There's a calm in the morning when the morning comes by
I'm so high in it's glory, my tears all run dry
Such a hard winding road behind, well I've made it alright
Spent some hard lazy days inside and many a lonely night

WHY DON'T YOU DO
Why don't you do what you want
Why don't you do what comes natural
Don't you know that I love you
And I like the way you're comin' through
Why don't you say what you mean
Why don't you play all the hunches
Don't you know you're a rock 'n' roll queen
And I like the way you throw them punches
Up, down what has come over you
You have have gotten so thin
Up, down gotta get it over with
Perhaps it's the mood you're in
Just'a bop bop boppin' me all the time
Always keep me hoppin' on the telephone line
Just'a boppin' me on my head all the time
Why don't you live if you can
Why don't you give me a river
Don't you know it flows so true
And I Like those crazy things you do
Up, down what has come over you
You have have gotten so fat
Up, down gotta get it over with
Depends on where you're at
Just'a bop bop boppin' me all the time
Always keep me hoppin' on the telephone line
Just'a boppin' me on my head all the time
Just'a bop bop bop bop boppin' me all the time
Why don't you do what you want
Why don't you do what comes natural
Don't you know that I love you
And I like the way you're comin' through
And I like the way you're comin' through
Oh I like the way you're comin' through

ONE NIGHT LOVER
Will you be my alibi
Oh honey I need you so
Just tell them I was out with you
Maybe I won't have to go
Will you be my by and by
Oh honey I could cry some more
They say that I stole your heart
When I knocked upon your door
They say that I'm a one night lover
Who'll try to pull the covers over you
Nothin' but a one night lover
Who goes and picks you flowers
And says he loves you true
Will you be my angel eyes
Oh honey we could hide away
They say that I fantasize
An' never know the time of day
Will you be my lullaby
Oh honey when the sun goes down
They say that it's all a game
An' when it's over I will run
They say that I'm a one night lover
Who'll try to pull the covers over you
Nothin' but a one night lover
Who goes and picks you flowers
And says he loves you true

SUNBURST
If ever there's a time when I'm feeling so lonely
I'll look upon my Sunburst to pass away the time
It helps me forget when there's nothin' to do
Oh without Sunburst, it's like a morning without dew
Fly away Sunburst, play me a tune
I'll be coming home real soon
Fly away Sunburst, give me a home
I'll take you with me wherever I roam
It helps me remember in an old fashioned way
A love in September only yesterday
It smiles upon me, it smiles upon you
It could last forever like the sky is so blue
To where the sundog is crashin' through the gates
To where the rain is smashin' down the fences
To where the valleys are all covered with lace
To where the water goes so we can wash our faces ...fly
I'm not the kind of man who wants to belong
I feel it in my bloodstream, I feel it in my song
Spendin' the night by flickerin' candlelight
Thinkin' 'bout the road ahead, thinkin' 'bout life
Fly away Sunburst, play me a tune
I'll be coming home real soon
Fly away Sunburst, give me a home
I'll take you with me wherever I roam

TWO FOOLS IN LOVE
We're just two fools in love
Takin' our chances
A'makin' romances
Along the way
We're just two fools in love
Burnin' the bridges
A'turnin' religious
What a price to pay
You're the rich man's daughter
I'm the rich man's son
Diamonds in the water
Children on the run
We're just two fools in love
Two fools in love
We're just two fools in a song
Turnin' the pages
A'watchin' the ages
Slip away
We're just two fools in a song
Look at our faces
A'leavin' no traces
What a price to pay
You're the rich man's daughter
I'm the rich man's son
Diamonds in the water
Children on the run
We're just two fools in love
Two fools in love

OASIS
Life's waterfalls
Trickling down
As we grow along
Bridges are being found
Part of us wish
Part of us wish
And part of us know
When we're together
Each of us glows
Open our eyes
Begin to smile
We are but friends
With no ends for awhile
Part of us wish
Part of us wish
And part of us know
We form an oasis
Under the sun
Over rainbow
Under a star
Living is magic
Wherever we are
Some of us wish
Some of us wish
And some of us know
We are together
Walking on air
Oh under the sun
Each of us glows

DON'T YOU GO FEELIN' SAD
You could be waitin' forever
And never know what you're waitin' for
You may never be together
With the one who used to come and knock on your door
Don't you think that it's funny ..honey
How love can come and turn you around
I know it's not very sunny but honey
You got to understand and bring it on down
You could be wishin' forever
And never know what you're wishin' for
You may put up with the weather
Even though you know it never rains it pours
Don't you think that it's funny ..honey
How love can come and turn you away
I know it's not very sunny but honey
You got to try to bring in every new day
Don't you go feelin' sad
Don't you know that it could hurt so bad
Honey there's a crazy world out there
Filled with people who just don't know how to be
Don't you go feelin' sad
Don't you know that it could hurt so bad
Honey there's a crazy world out there
And you're the girl who can show them all how to believe
You could be livin' forever
And never know what you're livin' for
You may never be together
With the one you wanted forevermore
Don't you think that it's funny ..honey
How love can come and tear you apart
I know it's not very sunny but honey
You got to try to forgive and love from the heart
Don't you go feelin' sad
Don't you know that it could hurt so bad
Honey there's a crazy world out there
Filled with people who just don't know how to be
Don't you go feelin' sad
Don't you know that it could hurt so bad
Honey there's a crazy world out there

THE LONG WAY BACK
You don't know what you got 'till you get to the top
Realize it's a long way down
When you fall off the track, it's a long way back
There's a friend you can depend on
When the sun disappears and the cloud sheds a tear
Realize it's a long way down
And you find that you're lost, you don't care what it cost
There's a friend who can turn you 'round
You gotta get it back
Get it back together
Don't you let the weather get you down
Should you fall off the track
Take the long way back
Take the long way back to town
You don't know who you are 'till you find your star
Realize it's a long way down
When you fall to the ground
You won't hear any sound
There's a friend who can bring you 'round
When the moon reappears, you can see all the fears
Realize it's a long way down
And you feel like you're weak, you don't know how to speak
There's a friend who can turn you 'round
You gotta get it back
Get it back together
Don't you let the weather get you down
Should you fall off the track
Take the long way back
Take the long way back to town

Second Hand Rose
You go down to the station, you go down there for free
In the light expectation, you forget about me
You make your own reservation, there's no time to wait
In a wild desperation, you don't hesitate
You can burn all your bridges, forget what we had
You can never protect me, when you treat me so bad
You treat me so bad
You can laugh on the freeway
Nobody knows
How you treat me so badly
Like a 'second hand rose'
You can treat me badly
Like a 'second hand rose'
You go down to the island, rent a boat on the quay
In the light expectation, you forget about me
You can sail on the water, t'wherever it flows
As long as you don't treat me, like a 'second hand rose'
A second hand rose'
You can laugh on the freeway
Nobody knows
How you treat me so badly
Like a 'second hand rose'
You can laugh on the freeway
Nobody knows
How you treat me so badly
Like 'a second hand rose'
You can treat me so badly
Like a 'second hand rose'
