Wake up Maggie I think I got something to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school I know I keep you amused but I feel I'm being used Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone You stole my heart and that's what really hurt The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age But that don't worry me none in my eyes you're everything I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didn't need to coax Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand But you turned into a lover and mother what a lover, you wore me out All you did was wreck my bed and in the morning kick me in the head Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore You lured me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand Oh Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face You made a first-class fool out of me But I'm as blind as a fool can be You stole my heart but I love you anyway Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face I'll get on back home one of these days, |

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide I don't have much money but boy if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live If I was a sculptor but then again no Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show I know it's not much but it's the best I can do My gift is my song and this one's for you I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon But to settle down and write you a line I've been meaning to phone you, but from Minnesota Hell, it's been a very long time You wear it well A little old-fashioned, but that's alright Well, I suppose you're thinking how Betty is sinking Or he wouldn't get in touch with me Though I ain't begging or losing my head I sure do want you to know, that You wear it well there ain't a lady in the land so fine, oh my Remember their basement parties, your brothers' cavorting The all-day rock-and-roll show The homesick blues and the radical views Haven't left a mark on you You wear it well A little out of line but I don't mind But, I ain't forgetting that you were once mine But I'll believe it without even trying Now I'm eating my heart out Trying to get a letter through Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on I'm gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town And you sat down and cried on the stairs You knew it didn't cost the earth but for what it's worth You made me feel a millionaire You wear it well Madame Onassis got nothing on you; no, no And when my coffee is cold and I'm getting told That I gotta get back to work So when the sun goes low and you're home all alone Think of me and try not to laugh, and ( 2) I'll wear it well I don't object if you call collect 'Cause I ain't forgetting that you were once mine But I feel it without even trying Now I'm eating my heart out Trying to get back to you |

I think I know now what's making me sad
It's a yearnin' for my own back yard I realize maybe I was wrong to leave Better swallow up my silly country pride Going home, running home Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Going home, and I'm running home down to Gasoline Alley where I was born When the weather's better and the rails unfreeze and the wind don't whistle 'round my knees I'll put on my weddin' suit and catch the evening train I'll be home before the milk's upon the door Going home, running home down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Going home, and I'm running home down to Gasoline Alley where I was born But if anything should happen and my plans go wrong Should I stray to the house on the hill Let it be known that my intentions were good I'd be singing in my alley if I could And if I'm called away and it's my turn to go Should the blood run cold in my veins Just one favor I'll be asking of you Don't bury me here, it's too cold Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, won't you carry me home Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from |

Baby used to stay out all night long
She made me cry You know she done me wrong She held my eyes open and that's no lie Tables turned and now it's her turn to cry But then I used to love her but it's all over now Yes it is But then I used to love her but it's all over now Listen She used to run around with every single man in town Spent all my money playing her fast game She put me out, it was a pity how I cried But the tables turned and now it's her turn to cry Because I used to love her but it's all over now Ain't no lie because I used to love her but it's all over now Listen Well I used to wake the morning get my breakfast in bed When I got worried she'd ease my aching head But now she's here and there with every single man in town But the tables turned and now it's her turn to cry Because I used to love her but it's all over now Yes it is Because I used to love her but it's all over now Listen to this one Because I used to love her but it's all over now But then I used to love her but it's all now wait a minute But then I used to love her but you know but you know it's all over now But then I used to love her but you know it's all over now |

Ever seen a blind man cross the road
trying to make the other side Ever seen a young girl growing old trying to make herself a bride So what becomes of you my love When they have finally stripped you of The handbags and the gladrags That your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy Baby Once I was a young man and all I thought I had to do was smile You are still a young girl and you bought everything in style Listen But once you think you're in you're out 'cause you don't mean a single thing without the handbags and the gladrags that your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy Sing a song of six-pence for your sake And take a bottle full of rye Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake And bake them all in a pie They told me you missed school today So what I suggest you just throw them all away the handbags and the gladrags that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy They told me you missed school today So I suggest you just throw them all away the handbags and the gladrags that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy ya |
