It won't be long now, until that ol' sun gets down
And up the stairs I hide, my shameful tears
My wife works all night long, for a man who's halfway gone
She's a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
And it's a shame she wears the name
Of a man that's locked in chains
To a bottle that destroys her hopes and cares
To a man with hungry eye's, she works and hides her pride
She's a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
Cinnamon Girl
I'm gonna live with the cinnamon girl
I could be happy the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl
A dreamer of pictures and run in the night
To see us together chasing the moonlight
My cinnamon girl
Tinsel and saxes her face with a bow
The drummer relaxes and waits between shows
For a cinnamon girl
Chorus:
Pa send me money now
I've got to make it somehow
I need another chance
See your baby loves to dance
The Great Pretender
Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Pretending that I'm doin' well
My need is such, I pretend too much
I'm lonely, but no one can tell
Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I play the game but to my real shame
You left me to dream alone
Too real is this feelin' of make believe
Too real what I feel, what my heart can't conceal
Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
Too real is this feelin' of make believe
Too real what I feel, what my heart can't conceal
Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Pretending that you're still around
Pretending that you're still around
Pretending that you're still around
Boots Of Spanish Leather
I'm sailing away my own true love
I'm sailing away in the morning
Is their something I can send you from across the sea
From the place where I'll be landing
No there's nothing you can send me my own true love
There's nothing that I'm wishing to be owning
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
From across that lonesome ocean
Ah but I just thought you might like something fine
Made of silver or of golden
Either from the mountains of Madrid
Or the coast of Barcelona
And if I had the stars of the darkest night
Or a diamond from the deepest ocean
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss
For that's all I'm wishing to be owning
Well I might be gone such a long, long time
And it's only that I'm asking
Is their something I can send you to remember me by
To make your time more, easy passing
Oh how can, oh how can you ask of me again
It only brings me sorrow
The same thing that I would want from you today
I would once, again tomorrow
Oh but I got a letter on a long, lonesome day
And it was from her ship a sailing
Saying I don't know when I will be back again
It depends on how I'm feeling
Well you my love if you must ask of it that way
Well I'm sure your mind is roamin'
And I'm sure your thoughts are not with me
But with the country where you're going
So take heed, take heed of the western winds
Take heed of the stormy weather
And yes there's something you can send back to me
Spanish boots of spanish leather
Watcha Gonna Do About It
Our love ya, is slowly going on the rocks now
Ya, ya, ya, ya
Tell me, tell me baby, watcha going to do about it
Our love ya, ya, ya isn't up for jeapardy
Ya, ya, ya, ya
Show me, show me sugarpie, watcha gonna do about it
Chorus:
You know I've tried
To keep you satisfied
But you just don't comprehend
And if you keep on doin', doin' what your doin'
Our love will surely
Don't you know that....
Out Of Time
You don't know what's going on
You've been away for far too long
You can't come back and think you are still mine
You're out of touch my baby
My poor discarded baby
I said baby, baby, baby you're out of time
A girl who wants to run away
Discovers that she's had her day
It's no good thinkin' that you are still mine,oh no
You're out of touch my baby
My poor unfaithful baby
I said baby, baby, baby you're out of time
Chorus:
Baby, baby, baby you're out of time
I said baby, baby, baby you're out of time
(Yes you're on your way out)
(You're out of, out of without a doubt)
Baby, baby, baby you're out of time
You thought you were a clever girl
Didn't give it up, her social world
You can't come back and think you are still mine
You're obsolete my baby
My poor old fashioned baby
I said baby, baby, baby you're out of time
Chorus
You Can't Lie To A Liar
You can't lie to a liar don't try
You can't cheat on a cheater
I'll tell you why
You see I lied myself before
And I think I know the score
You don't love me anymore
You can't sin on a sinner
You're going to regret it
You can't fake on a faker now
You'd best forget it
You see I fooled around before
And I think I know the score
You don't love me anymore
Chorus:
Well I lied and I cheated but I never, never
Thought I'd have it done to me
Now you've gone just as far as I'm going to let you go
I'm not going to let you make a fool of me
Trouble
You yelled 'Hey!'
When your car wouldn't start
You got real nervous
And started to eat your heart out
You're so fat your shoes don't fit on your feet
You've got trouble
And it's tailor made
Mama, lay your head down in the shade
Chorus:
Cause your eye's are tired
And your feet are to
You wish the world was as tired as you
Well I'll write a letter
And I'll send it away
Put all the trouble in it you've had today
Well your telephone rang
And you yelled 'No!'
Well you forgot about this and you forgot about that
Got to get back to what you're doing
Goodbye, quit that, so and so
You're an island and on your own
And you yelled 'Hey!'
When the stove blew up
Upset? why yes
The footprints on your ceiling are almost gone
And you're wonderin' why
Mama lay your head down
Now don't you cry
You Got Me Hummin'
I don't know what you got
But it's gettin' to me
It makes my cold nights hot
Hot winds just blow right thru me
Oh, power!
Lady, it's in your hands
Chorus:
You got me hummin' now
Ya you got me hummin' now
I wake up early at night
I can't get back to sleep now
I'm walking in a red light
Tired of talking, I try to sleep now
When I try I sleep walk
That's when my feet, they start a runnin'
Stay With Me Baby
Where did you go when things went wrong now baby
Who did you run to and find a shoulder to lay your head upon
Baby, wasn't I there
Didn't I take good care of you
Oh no, I can't believe you're leaving me
Chorus:
Stay with me baby
Stay with me baby
Stay with me baby I can't go on
Who did you trust when you needed tenderness
I gave you so much and in return I found happiness
Baby, what did I do?
Maybe, I was too good to you
Oh no, I can't believe you're leaving me
Chorus
Remember, you said you'd never, never leave me
Remember, you said you're always gonna need me
Remember, remember
I'm askin' ya, beggin' ya, please, please
Chorus
Nightingale
Sings a sad song for lonely women
Sings about women to lonely men
Sings a peace song to a soldier
Sings about loneliness to a friend
She's a song, song singer
Let her music touch your heart
She's a song singer from her heart
Sings a melody to haunt you
And some words to make you cry
If you're sad she'll make you happy
When you're down she'll take you high
She's a song, song singer
Let her music touch your heart
She's a song singer from her heart
She's a song, song singer
Let her music touch your heart
She's a song singer from her heart
She's a song, song singer
Let her music touch your heart
She's a song singer from her heart
