I'm flying Across the ocean And I'm soaring Back home To the place I was born And probably raised. And I'm flying Across the mountains and valleys, Back home to the one that I love so happily.
Can ya blame me for feeling homesick 'Cause I've been away such a very long long time I served a while in the county jail Five years for being hungry tired and poor
On and on Yes I will follow With your buttons and bows.
I don't care who is watching don't mind what the surfing heads might say and though I may not be no Charlie Atlas gonna take my shirt off anyway
now skin and bones sits easy on the high tide and I'm not one for castles in the sand I've seen a girl I once knew from the East Side I think I spy a bottle in her hand I think I spy a bottle in her hand
I don't need to know your birthday 'cause what you tell her I don't claim to be
there's a place I know of called the Tick Tock won't you come and take a walk with me won't you come and take a walk with me
didn't take too much hard work to get her melted like a chocolate in my arms if you had ever seen it better it never did the scenery no harm never did the scenery no harm
Too bad we was thrown downstairs You never got a chance to sing We were quite polite With one invite To keep us off the street We mingled for a minute or two With the high class clientele And then somebody said who invited them That crowd of refugees
What an insult to be shown the door Before we could shake a leg I was most intrigued by the colored queen Leaning on the kitchen door Then I was ushered with my friends By the butler who was twelve feet tall Well let me please explain That were not to blame We just don't have the right accent No, no
All we wanted to do was to socialize Oh you know its a shame I was always getting the pain
All we wanted to do was to socialize Oh you know its a shame How we always get the blame
Twenty girls, damp hotels Is where I'm gonna stay Cause now I see what it's all about I didn't at the old school side Don't worry we had more fun Waiting for the all night bus Too bad my regional tongue Gave us away again

I was feeling insecure you might not love me anymore. I was shivering inside, I was shivering inside. I didn't mean...

Sweatin' hard, I didn't get a shot All I did was stand around and get too hot Knowin' all the people walkin' on my side Losin' all my money and I'm getting tired Ol' Bill he come a'runnin' like he's gettin' some Makes you kind of jealous but it sure is fun I don't mind, but he wants my lady too
You know the crowd gets bigger as the word goes 'round Pool hall king was playin' back in town Minnesota Fats standin' up at the back Tryin' to hide himself in a plastic mack You ought to hear the silence when the kid walks in His reputation's bigger than gasoline I don't mind but he's tryin' to fill my lady too Pool Hall Richard, you're far too wicked we know Pool Hall Richard, kid you're wicked, we know You broke my heart Same as you could ever do With your yellow carnation and your pink satin shoe You make me jealous but I worship you One day soon I'm gonna beat you clean Wipe that smile right off your chin Everybody gonna drive from miles around Cuein' up to see me take away your crown Then you'll never never ever take my lady then
Pool Hall Richard, you're far too wicked we know Pool Hall Richard, kid you're wicked, we know You broke my heart Same as you could ever do Dig this Bam goes the brown, that's another one down Know they play much better when the sun goes down Bang goes the green, you're so obscene Your hands are dirty but your scent is clean Bam goes the blue, lock away your cue The pool hall king is hustlin' you Bam goes the 8-ball, didn't see it spin at all This kid can play, oh yeah

Pool Hall Richard, kid you're wicked, we know You broke my heart Same as you could ever do You're breakin' my heart But you're stealin' my tart Shut up
I shake and I shudder and I shiver In my bath while it's cold and my windows are broken, As my poor dog lays a-chokin' on the floor.
I cried to my father and my mother, There's no justice divine, I wonder when I get mine. 'cause I'm so sick and tired of waitin' for the lord.
I find just what it is I'm looking for
There's a man wants to show me the river. Hoofing at five I'll be more dead than alive. I find a reason to survive when I'm too old.
Should I walk in the lightning and the thunder On a hilltop so high and show my face to the sky ? Will I find just what it is I'm looking for ?
Miss Judy she was moody Owned a sweaty farm in old Alabam I was just 18, crude and mean All I needed was to get my own way Get out of my way
Miss Judy she could have me Any hour of the working day She'd send me in the corn field mid afternoon Said son it's all part of your job
Miss Judy had a cross eyed poodle That I would kick if I was given the chance Never was amused by the kindness I used I was whipped in the barn until dawn It hurt me
Last summer we was restless Were gonna make a stand and burn down your farm But it was all in the head 'Cause out in the yard Miss Judy had the National Guard We was beaten, before we started
Miss Judy she was moody And she always didn't get her own way
Just state the facts, get it right Kick her when she's down
Sit right down if you can spare me a minute I got a tale that's bound to break your heart Concerns my brother, who's thin and played violin Got it in his head that an IQ is all you need
He went his way; I couldn't discover mine I didn't worry if I ever saw him again He's made a profit while I don't even own a pocket And the last I heard he was sitting at the top of the tree Wait a minute
Late last night, reading my underground press Came a knock on the door; thought it was the third world war Lord above, I did not recognize him I said have a cup of coke here, maybe that's all you need
He said the smell of the city, kid - it's trying to kill me My eyes are getting muddy, Christ; I'm aging fast My kind of music I knew - it wasn't gonna to be simple But have a quick listen, kid, maybe that's all you need
Don't stop; you make me feel much better Tell me, my brother, do you think that's all I need? Yeah, yeah
Don't it make you happy? Well, well, well, well, well
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time Maybe I'm afraid of the way I'll leave you Baby I'm amazed at the way you fool me all the time You hung me on a line Oh baby I'm amazed at the way I really need you
Baby, I'm a man, oh baby I'm a lonely man who's in the middle of something That he doesn't really understand Baby, I'm a man, oh baby You're the only woman that could ever help me Baby, won't you try to understand
Baby, I'm a man, oh baby I'm a lonely man who's in the middle of something That he does not really understand, good God, hoo Baby, I'm a man, oh baby You're the only one that could ever help me Baby, won't you try to understand
Baby, I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time Baby, I'm afraid of the way I'll leave ya' Baby, I'm amazed at the way you help me sing the song You right me when I'm wrong Baby I'm amazed at the way I really need ya'
Baby, I'm a man, oh baby I'm a lonely man who's in the middle of something That he does not really understand Baby, I'm a man, oh baby You're the only woman that could ever help me
Baby, won't you try to understand There you go, Baby I'm amazed, the way I really need you Alright, just about warming up and getting into it right about here
Take a look at the guy who's standing in front of you Take a look at the guy wants to sit here with you Take a look at the same guy the same guy the same guy Who's looking straight back at you
Take a look at the guy once lost in fields Remember the time he traveled the sky It wasn't too long ago, when he ran away from home It wasn't too long ago, when he ran away from you
Take a look at the guy his ass hanging off the boat Two year playing silly games for you to be amused Take a look at the same face, the same eyes, the same guy Who's staring straight back at you?
Take a look at the guy who's standing in front of you Take a look at the guy who once sat here with you Take a look at the same guy, the same guy, the same guy Who used to sing songs to you?
Last night I was woken by my cry Had a dream just as plain as you and I Saw the morning sun on a woodland in the spring Still hear the echo crashing through the trees Oh when I saw you down I fell upon my knees
You and I we were wearing Southern Grey I called to you but I used another name I beat the ground and I cried out in your pain Through a scarlet door I watched you slipping away And your brother's helpless prayers were all in vain
Mother, don't you recognize your son? Coming home 'cause I failed you, mother I'll be there in the morning If you'll have me back The rent up here is much too high For a room without a tap I'll be early in the morning And I'll find my way back home Back home, bad 'n' ruin With my tail between my legs Tail between my legs And I'll be so tired
I'll be early tomorrow morning And I'll fall down off my plane Don't be embarrassed, mother By your ugly worn-out son Your ugly worn-out son
Mother, you won't recognize me now Mother, you won't recognize me now Mother, you won't recognize me now
And I'll be down on Cannon street Passport in my hand Should you not recognize me I've heavily made-up my eyes Mama, you won't recognize me now Brother, you won't recognize me now Sister, you won't recognize me now Mother, you won't recognize me now
So, mother, when you've seen me Don't forget I'm your boy too I know my brother has done you proud He's one foot in the grave Mother, don't you recognize me now?
I'm a burglar in the first degree But it don't seem to worry me I'll be so tired, so tired I'll be so tired, so tired
Woken up on mornings such as this Thought exactly the same as I'm thinking now Every night for a year I've slept alone Cold, damp room looks worse than me, no, no, no
Got a fear of death that creeps on every night I know I won't die soon, but then again I might Water down the drain, I'm wasting away Doctors can't help the ghost of a man that's me, no, no, no
Water down the drain goes to the sea The pattern of my life keeps a-haunting me Moisture from the ocean fills the sky Come on down to the ground as the time goes by
Slow down there
I never found out the reason why My parents had to lie About the place that I was born Or from my hometown I was torn At the tender age of four I was livin' by homemade law
I never knew when it was to be laid, My desires are never displayed, I never knew what it was to be loved, I never knew what it was to be laid, I never knew what it was to win, I never knew what it was to be loved, No, no, no
Get on up there
I never knew what it was to be laid No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Sweet Lady Mary has to rest her poor head Wakes in the morning with her breakfast in bed I tried to help her, but I did not know how I tried to love her, but it's all over now Nothing left to comfort me, except a sunny day Steal away, steal away
Over the stones along the dusty old road With every footstep one more tale is told With every turning one more side to see Sweet Lady Mary's seen the last of me A lesson is learnt, I'll never come this way again I'll steal away, steal away
Her Spanish habits are so hard to forget The lady lied with every breath, I accept Was a matter of time before my face did not fit I knew all along I'd have to quit. Anyway now, I better not waste anymore of your time I'll steal away, steal away
I think I'll go back home and start all again Where the Gulf Stream waters tend to ease the pain And on a new day when I've mended the wound Sweet Lady Mary's gate I swear I'll be bound But before I sit down again and waste anymore of your time I better steal away, steal away
Now a country boy named shorty And a city boy named dan Had to prove who could run the fastest To wed miss lucy's hand Now dan had all the money And he also had the looks But shorty musta had that something boys That can't be found in books Cut across shorty, shorty, cut across That's what miss lucy said Cut across shorty, shorty, cut across You know it's you that I wanna wed Wait a minute Now dan had been in training About a week before the race He made up his mind old shorty
Would end in second place You know dan with his long legs flying He left shorty far behind Shorty heard him holler out Miss lucy that you'll soon be mine Cut across shorty ... but shorty wasn't worried There was a smile upon his face 'cause old lucy had fixed the race
And just like that old story About the turtle and the hare You know that thing When danny crossed over the finish line He found shorty waiting there Cut across shorty ... It's you that I wanna wed, no no And oh lord it's you I wanna wed It's you that I wanna wed
My mom she likes you, she thinks your swell Got the makings of a dance hall girl Your low cut frock and your birds nest hair Stepping up heels and the way that you smell She says to take you back To see my folks again on Sunday
Why it looks as though there's nobody in They've all went out to see my Auntie Renny Don't you worry you just come right in I'm sure we'll pass the time 'til they come home Well let me take your coat Take off your shoes, warm your toes, try the sofa
Its getting dark we'll miss the late night bus It's only eight but I'm not taking any chances What's that noise why'd they come back so soon Straighten your dress you're really looking a mess I'll wet my socks pretend we just got caught in the rain Oh your so rude
It's hard to believe that this is the place Where we were so happy all our lives Now so empty inside and feeling no pain Waiting for a hammer, and a big ball and chain
They can tear it all down and build something new But only I remember what was here Tomorrow comes easy, just another day gone How long will I have to keep returning?
Now I look back think I've known all the time I've been finding myself for so long All the vows that we made Count for old bags of lumber Disappear on the cart down the road
Something told me it was over when I saw you and him talking Something deep down in my soul said "Cry boy" when I saw you and him out walking I would rather, I would rather go blind girl than to see you walk away from me child So you see I love you so much I dont want to see you leave me baby most of all I just dont, I just don't want to be free
I was just, I was just sitting here thinking of your kiss and your warm embrace child When the reflection in the glass that I been held to my lips now baby revealed the tears I had on my face I would rather, I would rather be blind child than to see you walk away from me Baby, baby, baby I would rather go blind than to see you walk away from me
wait a minute honey I dont think the joke's so too funny no I stayed up all night checking out the doctor's guide
wait a minute honey stop pretending you're a bunny well I might've guessed you been to see a specialist
I remember you said that we gotta keep a breast of time but obviously you don't know where to draw the line, well
don't try to tell me it's a-what you been eating since when have you been forty-four around get on with the song, yeah
dig this, at the Moulin Rouge tell you baby we could knock'em dead just sign right here all I need is ten per cent
well, now you make me feel like a pimp in the White House for a senator's daughter youre stealing all the headline news all the headline news
oh shake me, shake me, shake me up all night long we all need a laugh and I guess you're just the one well you got more front than Haig Museum oh home grown silicone you really got the best of me
Too bad we was thrown downstairs You never got a chance to sing We were quite polite With one invite To keep us off the street We mingled for a minute or two With the high class clientele And then somebody said who invited them That crowd of refugees
What an insult to be shown the door Before we could shake a leg I was most intrigued by the colored queen Leaning on the kitchen door Then I was ushered with my friends By the butler who was twelve feet tall Well let me please explain That were not to blame We just don't have the right accent No, no
All we wanted to do was to socialize Oh you know its a shame I was always getting the pain
All we wanted to do was to socialize Oh you know its a shame How we always get the blame
Twenty girls, damp hotels Is where I'm gonna stay Cause now I see what it's all about I didn't at the old school side Don't worry we had more fun Waiting for the all night bus Too bad my regional tongue Gave us away again
Angel came down from heaven yesterday Stayed with me long enough to rescue me And she told me a story yesterday About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea Then she spread her wings high over me She said she's goin' now, come back tomorrow And I said, fly on my sweet angel Fly on through the sky Fly on my sweet angel Forever I'm will be by your side Gonna fly away
Sure enough this morning came unto me Silver wings silhouetted against a child's sunrise And my angel she said unto me Today's the day for you to rise
Ke my hand, you're gonna be my man, you're gonna rise Then she took me high over yonder And I said, fly on my sweet angel Fly on through the sky Fly on my sweet angel Forever I will be by your side
In the mornin dont say you love me, cause Ill only kick you out of the door I know your name is rita cause your perfumes smellin sweeter Since when I saw you down on the floor.
Wont need to much pursuadin I dont mean to sound degradin, But with a face like that you got nothin to laugh about. Red lips, hair and fingernails, I hear youre a mean old jezebel Lets go up stairs and read my tarot cards
Stay with me, stay with me For tonight youd better stay with me Stay with me, stay with me For tonight youd better stay with me
So, in the mornin, please dont say you love me cause you know Ill only kick you out the door Yeah, Ill pay your cab fare home, you can even use my best cologne, Just dont be here in the mornin when I wake up
Stay with me, stay with me For tonight youd gonna stay with me Sit down, get up, get out.
Poor old granddad, I laughed at all his words, I thought he was a bitter man, He spoke of women's ways. 'They trap you, then they use you, before you even know. Well love is blind, and you're far too kind. Don't ever let it show.'
CHORUS: I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger. I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was stronger.
The can-can such a pretty show Will steal your heart awa But backstage back on earth again The dressing rooms are grey They come on strong and it ain't too long For they make you feel a man But love is blind and you soon will find You're just a boy again
When you want her lips, you get her cheek Makes you wonder where you are If you want some more then she's fast asleep Leaves you twinkling with the stars Poor young grandson there's nothing I can say You'll have to learn, just like me And that's the hardest way, ooh la la.
I went down to the center of the town And my feet was a silver …… She stood on the corner, merrily as could be I said : 'Hey, good lookin', you're comin' with me' She said : 'Yeah, I'm the Stealer, come to steal your love'.
The sun was shinin', the world was bright I said : 'Tell me, baby, whatcha doin' tonight ?' I'm goin' down the corner, where the music's loud I'm tired of the city, why don't you come around ? She says : 'Yeah, I'm the Stealer, come to steal your love'.
Goin' round the corner where the music's loud I'm tired of the city, why don't you come around ? She says : 'Yeah, I'm the Stealer, come to steal your love'.
Go!
Steal your love, steal your love I'm gonna steal your love away.
Sunshine, blue skies, please go away, My love has found another, gone away Withered up my future, my life is filled with gloom, Day after day I stay locked up in my room. I know to you it might sound strange But I wish it would rain.
Curse so badly, I don't want to go outside, Everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry. Listen, I've got to cry, 'cause crying sheds the pain.
To the world outside my tears I refuse to explain I wish it would rain
Let it rain
Looking down at my tear stained face pressed against the windowpane But I search the sky desperately for rain, 'cause raindrops will hide my teardrops, no one will ever know When I'm crying, crying when I go outside. To the world outside my tears I refuse to explain I wish it would rain

Miss Judy she was moody And she always didn't get her own way
Just state the facts, get it right Kick her when she's down

Miss Judy she was moody Owned a sweaty farm in old Alabam I was just 18, crude and mean All I needed was to get my own way Get out of my way
Miss Judy she could have me Any hour of the working day She'd send me in the corn field mid afternoon Said son it's all part of your job
Miss Judy had a cross eyed poodle That I would kick if I was given the chance Never was amused by the kindness I used I was whipped in the barn until dawn It hurt me
Last summer we was restless Were gonna make a stand and burn down your farm But it was all in the head 'Cause out in the yard Miss Judy had the National Guard We was beaten, before we started
Miss Judy she was moody And she always didn't get her own way
Just state the facts, get it right Kick her when she's down
I don't need no one's opinion On the matter concerning my dress I was raised in a clinic down in Oklahoma There were many things I did not possess I never complained because my father said "son, you'll get your chance before you're my age." Then he took me upstairs and gave me this suit Written all over his face
He said, "others may come and others may go But that suit will be around wherever you're goin'." Three button hand me down Three button hand me down
I had my fair share of neat women But they came between me and my suit That was a filly from Boston, a barmaid from Houston Not forgetting the one in Detroit They said, "we like you, boy, and we think you're sweet But can't you lose your suit?" I said, "no, you can't do that to me." I remember what my father said
He said, "others may come and others may go But that suit will be around wherever you're goin'." Three button hand me down, ha, ha Three button hand me down
I've never been a tidy dresser And the fold in my trousers - it ain't straight Still, I know a good cloth when I see one That's why I'm clad in this gray flannel suit Sometimes I wonder if I should visit a tailor And get myself a smooth outfit Then I remember what my father said to me I'll make you from the open road
He said, "others may come and others may go But that suit will be around wherever you go." Three button hand me down Three button hand me down

Shakey Brown didn't hang around when a Molotow didn't do its stuff you went back in there and said it with a sawed-off shotgun
you know Poker Sam couldn't lose a hand if he did you were hit by a downtown tram or crushed in the path of a moving elevator, elevator
see the years roll on by such a senseless waste of time what a way to reform call out your number, who's a nonconformer not me baby, oh yeah
when I get out, I'll get straight if this old world gives me half a break but, if you see me in the corner with a chip on my shoulder don't blame me, don't blame me baby, no, no
I'm flying Across the ocean And I'm soaring Back home To the place I was born And probably raised. And I'm flying Across the mountains and valleys, Back home to the one that I love so happily.
Can ya blame me for feeling homesick 'Cause I've been away such a very long long time I served a while in the county jail Five years for being hungry tired and poor
On and on Yes I will follow With your buttons and bows.
Mother, don't you recognize your son? Coming home 'cause I failed you, mother I'll be there in the morning If you'll have me back The rent up here is much too high For a room without a tap I'll be early in the morning And I'll find my way back home Back home, bad 'n' ruin With my tail between my legs Tail between my legs And I'll be so tired
I'll be early tomorrow morning And I'll fall down off my plane Don't be embarrassed, mother By your ugly worn-out son Your ugly worn-out son
Mother, you won't recognize me now Mother, you won't recognize me now Mother, you won't recognize me now
And I'll be down on Cannon street Passport in my hand Should you not recognize me I've heavily made-up my eyes Mama, you won't recognize me now Brother, you won't recognize me now Sister, you won't recognize me now Mother, you won't recognize me now
So, mother, when you've seen me Don't forget I'm your boy too I know my brother has done you proud He's one foot in the grave Mother, don't you recognize me now?
I'm a burglar in the first degree But it don't seem to worry me I'll be so tired, so tired I'll be so tired, so tired
