She said come in stranger
It's good to have you home I hurried thru 'cause I knew it was you When I saw your dog, waggin' his tail Honey, why didn't you let me know by mail You've been gone so long She said come in stranger I know you're weary from all your miles Just sit right there in your easy chair And tell me all about the places you've been How long it'll be before you leave again I hope it's a long, long while She said come in stranger Everything 'round home is fine I've watched and I've waited for you to get back And I missed you all the time She said come in, stranger Oh how I need you when you're gone I walk the floor and I watch the door And when I lie awake and wonder where you can be I'd give anything to have you here with me I get so lonesome all alone She said come in, stranger And won't you listen to my plea Stay long enough, so that the one I love Is not a stranger to me |

I hear the train a comin'
It's rolling round the bend And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when, I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone.. When I was just a baby my mama told me "Son, Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns." But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry.. I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars. Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free But those people keep a movin' And that's what tortures me... Well if they freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away... |

Hey, get rhythm!
When you get the blues! C'mon get rhythm! When you get the blues! Get a rock and roll feeling in your bones, Put taps on your toes, and get goin' Get rhythm! When you get the blues! A little shoe-shine boy he never gets low-down, But he's got the dirtiest job in town! Bending low at the peoples' feet, On a windy corner of a dirty street. Well, I asked him while she shined my shoes, How'd he keep from getting the blues. He grinned as he raised his little head, He popped a shoe-shine rag, and he said Get rhythm! When you get the blues! C'mon get rhythm! When you get the blues! A jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine, It'll shake all your troubles from your worried mind. Get rhythm! When you get the blues! Get rhythm! When you get the blues! C'mon get rhythm! When you get the blues! Get a rock and roll feeling in your bones, Put taps on your toes, and get goin' Get rhythm! When you get the blues! Well, I had to listen to the shoe-shine boy, And I thought I was gonna jump for joy! Slapped on the shoe polish left and right, He took a shoe-shine rag and he held it tight. He stopped once to wipe the sweat away, I said, you're a mighty little boy to be a-workin' that way! He said I like it, with a big wide grin, Kept on a-poppin' and he said again, Get rhythm! When you get the blues! C'mon get rhythm! When you get the blues! It only costs a dime, just a nickel a shoe. It does a million dollars worth of good for you. Get rhythm! When you get the blues! |

I found him by the railroad track this morning
I could see that he was nearly dead I knelt down beside him and I listened Just to hear the words the dying fellow said He said they let me out of prison down in Frisco For ten long years I've paid for what I've done I was trying to get back to Louisiana To see my Rose and get to know my son Chorus: Give my love to Rose please won't you mister Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him And don't forget to give my love to Rose Tell them I said thanks for waiting for me Tell my boy to help his mom at home Tell my Rose to try to find another For it ain't right that she should live alone Mister here's a bag with all my money It won't last them long the way it goes God bless you for finding me this morning And don't forget to give my love to Rose Chorus: Give my love to Rose please won't you mister Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him And don't forget to give my love to Rose |

Hey porter! Hey porter!
Would you tell me the time? How much longer will it be till we cross that Mason Dixon Line? At daylight would ya tell that engineer to slow it down? Or better still, just stop the train, Cause I wanna look around. Hey porter! Hey porter! What time did ya say? How much longer will it be till I can see the light of day? When we hit Dixie will you tell that engineer to ring his bell? And ask everybody that ain't asleep to stand right up and yell. Hey porter! Hey porter! It's getting light outside. This old train is puffin' smoke, and I have to strain my eyes. But ask that engineer if he will blow his whistle please. Cause I smell frost on cotton leaves and I feel that Southern breeze. Hey porter! Hey porter! Please get my bags for me. I need nobody to tell me now that we're in Tennessee. Go tell that engineer to make that lonesome whistle scream, We're not so far from home so take it easy on the steam. Hey porter! Hey porter! Please open up the door. When they stop the train I'm gonna get off first Cause I can't wait no more. Tell that engineer I said thanks alot, and I didn't mind the fare. I'm gonna set my feet on Southern soil and breathe that Southern air. |

I forgot to remember to forget her
I can't seem to get her off my mind I thought I'd never miss her but I found out somehow I think about her almost all the time CHORUS: The day she went away I made myself a promise That I'd soon forget we'd ever met But something sure is wrong Cause I'm so blue and lonely I forgot to remember to forget PIANO SOLO CHORUS AGAIN |
