Hey mister that's me up on the jukebox
I'm the one singing this sad song And I cry every time that you slip in one more dime And play me singing the sad one one more time Southern California, that's as blue as a girl can be Blue as the deep blue sea, won't you listen to me now I need your golden gated cities like a hole in my head Just like a hole in my head, I'm free Hey mister that's me up on the jukebox I'm the one singing this sad song And I cry every time that you slip in one more dime And play me singing the sad one one more time Do believe I'll go back home Hey mister can't you see that I'm dry as a bone I think I'll spend some time alone Unless you find a way of squeezing water from a stone We'll let the doctor and the lawyer do as much as they can Let the springtime begin, let the boy become a man I have wasted too much time just to sing you this sad song I have been this lonesome picker just a little too long Hey mister that's me up on the jukebox I'm the one singing this sad song And I cry every time that you slip in one more dime And play me singing the sad one one more time Well I've been spreading myself thin these days |

Well I am just a vagabond
A drifter on the run And eloquent profanity It rolls right off my tongue And I have dined in palaces Drunk wine with kings and queens And darling on darling You're the best thing I ever seen Won't you roll me easy So slow and easy Take my independence With no apprehension no tension Walk in, talk in paradise Sweet paradise Well I been around this country From Denver to the oceans And I never met girls that could sing so sweet Like the angels that live in Houston Singing roll me easy So slow and easy Play your concertina be a temptress Darling I'm defenseless Sing in harmony, in unison Sweet harmony Gotta hoist the flag and I'll beat your drum Sing in harmony, in unison Sweet harmony Gotta hoist the flag and I'll beat your drum Woah roll me easy So slow and easy Take my independence With no apprehension no tension Walk in, talk in paradise Sweet paradise |

ⓒ WB Music Corp and Golden Spread Music You think the love you never had might save you But true love takes a little time You can touch it with your fingers And try to believe your eyes Is it love or lies So you're keeping your distance A little bit of room around you But if he doesn't return your call on time Oh my my You just act like a fool on a holiday There's nothing that you wouldn't try You must be a prisoner in disguise Well this night life is my life But there's no one else in it And sometimes those lonesome breezes blow But it's no show so you might as well go If you think you could win it Without losing and letting it show The city is no place to hide in Everybody knows your number And you know that you could never be alone if you tried You just run like a man with no reason to run And no place to ever arrive You must be a prisoner Look just like a prisoner Well you must be a prisoner in disguise |

Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over Wandering I am lost As I travel along white cliffs of Dover Many rivers to cross And it's only my will that keeps me alive I've been licked, washed up for years And I merely survive because of my pride And this loneliness won't leave me alone It's such a drag to be on your own My baby left me and he didn't say why Well I guess I'll have to try Many rivers to cross But just where to begin I'm playing for time There have been times I find myself thinking of committing Some dreadful crime I've got many rivers to cross But I can't seem to find my way over Wandering I am lost As I travel along white cliffs of Dover |

Co. ⓒ 1977 Stamps-Baxter Music of the Zondervan Corporation One day a mother went to a prison To see an erring but precious son She told the warden how much she loved him It did not matter what he had done She did not bring to him a parole or pardon She brought no silver, no pomp or style It was a halo bright sent down from heaven's light The sweetest gift, a mother's smile She left a smile you can remember She's gone to heaven from heartaches free Those walls around you could never change her You were her baby and e'er will be She did not bring to him a parole or pardon She brought no silver, no pomp or style It was a halo bright sent down from heaven's light The sweetest gift, a mother's smile She did not bring to him a parole or pardon She brought no silver, no pomp or style It was a halo bright sent down from heaven's light The sweetest gift, a mother's smile The sweetest gift, a mother's smile |

words by Anna McGarrigle
music by Carol S. Holland ⓒ Anna McGarrigle and C.S. Holland (ASCAP) You tell me that I'm falling down A drifter with no role You tell me that I need a friend To help me take control Well let it be I'm not alone I'm only lonely see And you can't tell me where to go Or what or who to be I am exactly what I am And not the way you'd like to see me be I look outside long as I can Then I close my eyes and watch my world unfold before me I may not lead the simple life I've no love of my own If no one gives me all his heart I'll manage with a loan I'm very used to feeling sad It doesn't make me cry And yes I do know how to love And what you say's a lie I am exactly what I am And not the way you'd like to see me be I look outside long as I can Then I close my eyes and watch my world unfold before me You tell me that I'm falling down A drifter with no role You tell me that I need a friend To help me take control Well let it be I'm not alone I'm only lonely see And you can't tell me where to go Or what or who to be I am exactly what I am And not the way you'd like to see me be I look outside long as I can Then I close my eyes and watch my world unfold before me |

If I should stay
I would only be in your way So I'll go But I know I'll think of you each step of the way And I will always love you Oh, will always love you Bittersweet memories That's all I am taking with me Goodbye Please don't cry We both know I'm not what you need And I will always love you Oh, will always love you And I will always love you Oh, will always love you I will always love you |

ⓒ 1975 & 1977 WB Music Corp & Golden Spread Music Silver Blue Said goodbye to no one Thought it through And left me standing in the road If you were ever lonely It never showed But someday baby you'll be here And I'll be going home without you With blood on both my hands 'Cause I took you through And now we're both too weak to stand You think you're gonna live forever And somehow find me there But you'll be wearing golden wings And fall right through the air Loving you Well I'm a fool for trying 'Cause I get so blue That I don't know when I'm crying If you are ever lonely And you let me know I'll come running right on time and rock you gently home Silver Blue Silver Blue |
