Late last night, I went for a walk, Down by the river near my home. Couldn't believe, with my own eyes, And I swear I'll never leave my home again.
I saw a man walking on the water. Coming right at me from the other side. Calling out my name; "Do not be afraid." Feet begin to run, pounding in my brain; I don't want to go; I don't want to go.
No, no, no, no, no... I don't want to go. Mmmmmmm...
Oh Susie Q,Oh Susie Q, baby I love you,Susie Q.I like the way you walk,I like the way you talk,I like the way you walk, I like the way you talk, Susie Q.You say that you'll be true,You say that you'll be true,You say that you'll be true,Baby I love you, Susie Q.You say that you'll be mine,You say that you'll be mine,You say that you'll be mine,Baby all the time, Susie Q.Oh Susie Q,Oh Susie Q,Oh Susie Q baby I love you,Susie Q.I like the way you walk,I like the way you talk,I like the way you walk, I like the way you talk, Susie Q
Howdy, friend, beggin' your pardon, Is there somethin' on your mind? You've gone and sold all your belongings, Is that something in your eye?
Well, I know you really never Liked the way it all goes down; Go on, Hideaway.
What's that you say? We're all bound for the graveyard; Oooh, I wish you well. Think it's gonna rain, Oh, what's the diff'rence, Is there some way I can help?
'Cause you know, I'm gonna miss you When you're gone, oh, Lord, Wish I Could Hideaway

"Cause you know, I'm gonna miss you When you're gone, oh, Wish I could Hideaway
There's a place up ahead and I'm going just as fast as my feet can fly Come away, come away if you're going, leave the sinking ship behind.
* Come on the rising wind, we're going up around the bend.
Ooh! Bring a song and a smile for the banjo, better get while the gettings good, Hitch a ride to the end of the highway where the neons turn to wood.
* Repeat
Oooh! You can ponder perpetual motion, fix your mind on a crystal day, Always time for a good conversation, there's an ear for what you say.
* Repeat
Yeah!
Oooh! Catch a ride to the end of the highway and we'll meet by the big red tree, There's a place up ahead and I'm going, come along, come along with me.
Now, when I was just a little boy, Standin' to my Daddy's knee, My poppa said, "Son, don't let the man get you Do what he done to me." 'Cause he'll get you, 'Cause he'll get you now, now.
And I can remember the fourth of July, Runnin' through the backwood, bare. And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin', Chasin' down a hoodoo there. Chasin' down a hoodoo there.
CHORUS: Born On The Bayou; Born On The Bayou; Born On The Bayou.
Wish I was back on the Bayou. Rollin' with some Cajun Queen. Wishin' I were a fast freight train, Just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans.
CHORUS
Do it, do it, do it, do it. Oh, Lord. Oh get back boy.
I can remember the fourth of July, Runnin' through the backwood bare. And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin', Chasin' down a hoodoo there. Chasin' down a hoodoo there.
Well, take me back down where cool water flows, yeah. Let me remember things I love, Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite, Walkin' along the river road at night, Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight.
I can hear the bullfrog callin' me. Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree. Love to kick my feet 'way down the shallow water. Shoefly, dragonfly, get back to your mother. Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River. Welllllll!
Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, oh, With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers . Old Cody, Junior took me over, Said, "You're gonna find the world is smould'rin'. And if you get lost come on home to Green River."
Tombstone Shadow, stretchin' across my path. Tombstone Shadow, stretchin' across my path. Ev'ry time I get some good news, Ooh, There's a shadow on my back.

Said I got thirteen months of bad luck, Bound to be some pain. Don't you do no trav'lin', Fly in no machines. Tombstone Shadow, stretchin' across my path. Ev'ry time I get some good news, Ooh, There's a shadow on my back.
The man gave me a luck charm, Cost five dollars more, Said, "Put some on your pillow, and put some on your door." He said, "Take a long vacation, Ooh, For thirteen months or more." Oh, Lord!
Tombstone Shadow, stretchin' across my path. Tombstone Shadow, stretchin' across my path. Ev'ry time I get some good news, Ooh, There's a shadow on my back.
Who'll take the coal from the mine? Who'll take the salt from the earth? Who'll take the leaf and grow it to the tree? Don't look now; it ain't you or me.

Long as I remember, The rain been comin' down. Clouds of myst'ry pourin' Confusion on the ground. Good men through the ages Tryin' to find the sun. And I wonder, Still I wonder Who'll stop the rain.
I went down Virginia, Seekin' shelter from the storm. Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow. Five-year plans and new deals Wrapped in golden chains. And I wonder, Still I wonder Who'll stop the rain.
Heard the singers playin', How we cheered for more? The crowd had rushed together Tryin' to keep warm. Still the rain kept pourin', Fallin' on my ears. And I wonder, Still I wonder Who'll stop the rain.
Left a good job in the city, Workin' for The Man ev'ry night and day, And I never lost one minute of sleepin', Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been. 밤낮으로 보스를 위해 일하던 도시의 "좋은 직장"을 관뒀어요. 그리곤 [관두지 않았다면] 내 삶이 어땠을까 걱정하며 단 일분도 잠을 설치지 않았죠. CHORUS: Big wheel keep on turnin', Proud Mary keep on burnin', Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river. 큰 바퀴는 계속 돌고 프라우드 매리는 계속 나아가요. 강을 타고 타고 타고 내려가면서. Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis, Pumped a lot of 'pane down in New Orleans, But I never saw the good side of the city, 'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen. 멤피스에서는 그릇도 많이 닦았고 뉴 오올리언스에서는 프로페인도 많이 넣어줬어요 하지만 내가 배의 여왕을 얻어 타고 강따라 내려가기전에는 도시의 좋은 점을 본적이 없어요. CHORUS Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river. 후렴 강을 타고 타고 타고 내려가요. If you come down to the river, Bet you gonna find some people who live. You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money, People on the river are happy to give. 당신이 만약 (언젠가) 강으로 오시면 (배를 타시면) 진정 살아있는 사람들을 볼거에요. 돈이 없다고 걱정할 필요없어요. 강에 있는 (배를 탄) 사람들은 기꺼이 도와줄테니까요. CHORUS Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river. Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river. Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river. 후렴 강을 타고, 타고, 타고 내려가요 강을 타고, 타고, 타고 내려가요 강을 타고, 타고, 타고 내려가요
Some folks are born made to wave the flag, ooh, they're red, white and blue. And when the band plays "Hail To The Chief", oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord,

Traffic in the city turns my head around. No, no, no, no, no. Backed up on the freeway, backed up in the church, Ev'rywhere you look there's a frown, frown.
People keep atalkin', they don't say a word. Jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw. Talk up in the White House, talk up to your door, So much goin' on I just can't hear.
CHORUS
Hurryin' to get there so you save some time. Run, run, run, run, run. Rushin' to the treadmill, rushin' to get home, Worry 'bout the time you save, save.
Well, you wake up in the mornin', You hear the work bell ring And they march you to the table To see the same old thing. Ain't no food upon the table, And no fork up in the pan; But you better not complain, boy, You get in trouble with the man.

If you're ever in Houston, Well, you better do the right, You better not gamble, Yeah, you better not fight at all. Or the sheriff will grab ya, And the boys will bring you down. The next thing you know, boy, Oh, you're prison bound.

Early in the evenin' just about supper time, Over by the courthouse they're starting to unwind. Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up. Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp.
CHORUS: Down On The Corner, out in the street, Willy and the Poorboys are playin'; Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile, Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while. Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo. Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.
CHORUS
CHORUS
You don't need a penny just to hang around, But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down? Over on the corner there's a happy noise. People come from all around to watch the magic boys.
CHORUS: I'm lookin' for a reason to stay. I'm all wound up and tied in knots today. I'm lookin' for a reason not to go. When the morning comes, I'll be on my way.
Ev'ry night I ask myself again Just what it was that made our dream begin. It seemed like a good idea way back then. But I'm wond'rin' now what daydream took me in.
CHORUS
Yesterday I tried once more to find A way to share the trouble on my mind. It seems like you turn away ev'ry time. I used to like it here, I can't remember why.
