If your memory serves you well We were going to meet again and wait So I'm going to unpack all my things And sit before it gets too late No man alive will comfort you With another tale to tell But you know that we shall meet again If your memory serves you well This wheel's on fire Rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode If your memory serves you well I was going to confiscate your lace and wrap it up in a sailor's knot And hide it in your case If I knew for sure that it was yours But it was oh so hard to tell But you knew that we would meet again If your memory serves you well This wheel's on fire Rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode If your memory serves you well You'll remember you're the one That called on them to call on him To get your favors done And after every plan had failed And there was nothing more to tell You knew that we would meet again If your memory serves you well This wheel's on fire Rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode |

Well I had an old dog and his name was Blue Yes, I had an old dog and his name was Blue Well I had an old dog and his name was Blue Bet ya five dollars he's a good dog too Old Blue chased a possum up a holler (hollow) limb Blue chased a possum up a holler limb Blue chased a possum up a holler limb The possum growled, Blue whined at him Bye bye Blue You good dog you Bye bye Blue You good dog you When old Blue died he died so hard He shook the ground in my back yard We lowered him down with a golden chain And every link we called his name Bye bye Blue You good dog you Bye bye Blue You good dog you My old Blue he was a good old hound You'd hear him hollering miles around When I get to Heaven first thing I'll do I'll grab my horn and call for Blue Bye bye Blue You good dog you Bye bye Blue You good dog you |

It's the humming of the engines
On the Greyhound bus and trains That keeps your memory on my mind And here with me Many miles have come between us Cold nights on some roadside Bringing back Your gentle ways of loving me It's the thought of how you love me How you treat me, how you thrill me That clears my fogged-up mind To where I see Some little girl, as I walk by Just looking at me sadly Bringing back Your gentle ways of loving me It's just your gentle ways of loving me It's just your gentle ways of loving me It's the happiness I've never found With other loves that bothers And a mother saying How her child loves me And times you never talked about Those late evening hours Bringing back Your gentle ways of loving me It's just your gentle ways of loving me It's just your gentle ways of loving me It's just your gentle ways of loving me It's just your gentle ways of loving me |

Love for anyone who needs her Innocence is all that feeds her Rolling through the mist Floating in a sea of madness Reaching for the heights of gladness Or did she exist? Swirling ions from the stars Streaming down onto the earth From a galaxy like ours Manifested in her birth Child of the Universe Giving freely of herself Purity of truth rehearse Leaving man her cosmic well Love for anyone who needs her Innocence is all that feeds her Rolling through the mist Floating in a sea of madness Reaching for the heights of gladness Or did she exist? Vision of an untouched grace Walking gaily through the sun No one else could take her place Nor the work that she'd begun Love for anyone who needs her Innocence is all that feeds her Rolling through the mist Knowing what is understanding Patience that is undemanding Or did she exist? Or did she exist? Or did she exist? |

He's a drug store truck drivin man He's a head of the Ku Klux Klan When summer rolls around He'll be lucky if he's not in town Well he's got him a house on the hill He plays country records till you've had your fill He's a fireman's friend, he's an all night DJ But he sure does think different from the records he plays He's a drug store truck drivin man He's a head of the Ku Klux Klan When summer rolls around He'll be lucky if he's not in town Well he don't like the young folks I know He told me one night on his radio show He's got him a medal he won in the war Weighs five hundred pounds and sleeps on his floor He's a drug store truck drivin man He's a head of the Ku Klux Klan When summer rolls around He'll be lucky if he's not in town He's been like a father to me He's the only DJ you can hear after three I'm an all night musician in a rock 'n' roll band And why he don't like me, I can't understand He's a drug store truck drivin man He's a head of the Ku Klux Klan When summer rolls around He'll be lucky if he's not in town |

Freaks collecting stained-glass rubies
Pillowed gently on a strand Bearing looks of frenzied blankness Slowing down their B.B. King Middle class suburban children Wearing costumes that reveal Blindly follow recent pipers With their mystical appeal, for now So I'm leavin' for the country, to try and rest my head 'Cause if I hang around this scene too long You know babe, I'll be dead All the changes superficial Apathy, still a king Liberal reactionaries Never dealing anything, for now So I'm leavin' for the country, to try and rest my head 'Cause if I hang around this scene too long You know babe, I'll be dead |

Drifted in school, Daddy's a fool We know someone's on your mind Women whose phase??(face?), velvet and lace Curling couplets into time and space Meet the man who needs you now Can you give your love away like Candy? Down on your knees, trimming the trees Can you imagine what it's like Lovers lament, general dissent Doctor's orders are unkind, and bent Meet the man who needs you now Can you give your love away like Candy? Very profound, merry-go-round Spinning innocence and dreams Can you believe, all you perceive Love is never what it seemed to be Meet the man who needs you now Can you give your love away like Candy? |

Pushed me off the street today
The light in my eyes gets in the way Of the darkness you pushed me in You say that it's a sin we're hanging around You told me not to sing today Yu say my music gets in the way Cause it walks on in just as you begin Bringing my soul brothers down And although you're smiling Your hate will not cease So just face yourself babe And leave my soul in peace Instrumental Well I'll stay out of your way If you keep out of mine If I only could let the evil go Oh, you know we'll both go down in fire |

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed Whatever colors you have in your mind I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean And you're the best thing that he's ever seen Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile Why wait any longer for the world to begin You can have your cake and eat it too Why wait any longer for the one you love When he's standing in front of you Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead I long to see you in the morning light I long to reach for you in the night Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead |
