Muddy Water
I was born in macon georgia
They kept my daddy in a macon jail
He told me if you keep your hands clean
You wont hear them bloodhounds on your trail
Well I fell in with bad companions
Robbed a man, up in tennessee
They caught me way up in nashville
They locked me up and threw away the key
I washed my hands in muddy water
I Washed my hands, but they didnt come clean
I Tried to do what my daddy told me
But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream
I asked the judge now whens my time up
He said son, oh you know we wont forget
If you just try just to keep your hands clean
We might just make a good man out of you yet
Oh I couldnt wait to get my time up
I broke out, broke out of nashville jail
I just crossed the state-line of georgia
Well I can hear those bloodhounds on my trail
I washed my hands in muddy water
Washed my hands, but they didnt come clean
Tried to do what my daddy told me
But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream
Yeah! I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream
My Baby Left Me
Yes my baby left me,
Never said a word.
Was it something I done,
Something that she heard?
My baby left me,
My baby left me.
My baby even left me,
Never said a word.
Now I stand at my window,
Wring my hands and cry.
I hate to lose that woman,
Hate to say goodbye.
You know she left me,
Yes, she left me.
My baby even left me,
Never said a word.
One of these mornings,
Lord, it wont be long,
You'll look for me and,
Baby, and daddy he'll be gone.
You know you left me
You know you left me
My baby even left me
Never said a word.
All Along The Watchtower
There must be some way out of here,
Said the joker to the thief,
Theres too much confusion,
I cant get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine,
Plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line
Know what any of it is worth.
No reason to get excited,
The thief, he kindly spoke,
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and i, weve been through that,
And this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now,
The hour is getting late.
All along the watchtower,
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went,
Barefoot servants, too.
Outside in the distance
A wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching,
The wind began to howl.
Howl
A Deeper Well
The sun burned hot, it burned my eyes
Burned so hot I thought I'd died
Thought I'd died and gone to hell
Lookin for the water from a deeper well
I went to the river but the river was dry
I fell to my knees and I looked to the sky
I looked to the sky and the spring rain fell
I saw the water from a deeper well
Well, Well, Well, Well...
Lookin for the water from a deeper well
Well, Well, Well, Well...
Lookin for the water from a deeper well
I was ready for love I was ready for the money
Ready for the blood and ready for the honey
Ready for the winnin, ready for the bell
Lookin for the water from a deeper well
I found some love and I found some money
Found that blood would drip from the honey
Found I had a thirst that I could not quell
Lookin for the water from a deeper well
Well, Well, Well, Well...
Lookin for the water from a deeper well
Well, Well, Well, Well...
Lookin for the water from a deeper well
Well I did it for kicks and I did it for faith
I did it for lust and I did it for hate
I did it for need and I did it for love
Addiction stays on tight like a glove
So I ran with the moon and I ran with the night
And the three of us were a terrible sight
Nipple to the bottle to the gun to the cell
Down to the bottom of a deeper well
Well, Well, Well, Well...
Lookin for the water from a deeper well
Well, Well, Well, Well...
Lookin for the water from a deeper well
I rocked with the cradle and I rolled with the rage
I shook those walls and I rattled that cage
I took my trouble down a deadend trail
Reachin out a hand for a holy grail
Hey there mama did you carry that load
Did you tell your baby bout the bend in the road
Bout the rebel yell bout the one that fell
Lookin for the water from a deeper well
Well, Well, Well, Well...
Lookin for the water from a deeper well
Well, Well, Well, Well...
Lookin for the water from a deeper well
Anna
Anna,
You come and ask me, girl,
To set you free, girl,
You say he loves you more than me,
So I will set you free,
Go with him.
Anna, Anna
Anna,
Girl, before you go now,
I want you to know, now,
That I still love you so,
But if he loves you more',
Go with him.
Anna, Anna
All of my life,
I've been searchin' for a girl
To love me like i love you.
But every girl i've ever had,
Breaks my heart and leaves my sad.
What am I, What am I, gonna do
oh oh oh oh
Anna,
Just one more thing, girl.
You give back your ring to me, and I will set you free,
Go with him.
Anna, Anna
In Her Eyes (Instrumental)
Hang On To A Dream
What can I say she?s walking away
From what we?ve seen
What can I do still loving you
It?s all a dream
How can we
Hang on to a dream
How can it really be the way it seems
What can I do she?s saying we?re through
With how it was
What will I try still don?t see why
She says the things she does
How can we
Hang on to a dream
How can it really be the way it seems
What can I say she?s walking away
From what we?ve seen
What can I do still loving you
Is it all a dream
How can we
Hang on to a dream
How can it really be the way it seems
Rollin' N Tumblin'
We were rollin' and tumblin'
Right the whole night long
We were rollin' and tumblin'
Right the whole night long
When I woke up this mornin
All I had was gone
We were rollin' and tumblin'
Well I rolled my baby
She gonna jump and shout
Well I rolled my baby
She gonna jump and shout
When that train rolls up boys
I'm goin' walk on' home
Well I rolled my baby
We were rollin' and tumblin'
Right the whole night long
We were rollin' and tumblin'
Right the whole night long
When I woke up this mornin
All I had was gone
We were rollin' and tumblin'
We were rollin' and tumblin'
Right the whole night long
Blue Moon Of Kentucky
Blue moon, blue moon, blue moon,
shining bright.
Blue moon, keep on shining bright,
Youre gonna bring me back my baby tonight,
Blue moon, keep shining bright.
I said blue moon of kentucky
Keep on shining,
Shine on the one thats gone and left me blue.
I said blue moon of kentucky
Keep on shining,
Shine on the one thats gone and left me blue.
Well, it was on one moonlight night,
Stars shone bright,
That when my love said good-bye.
Blue moon of kentucky
Keep on shining.
Shine on the one thats gone and left me blue.
Blue moon, blue moon, blue moon,
shining bright.
Blue moon, keep on shining bright,
Youre gonna bring me back my baby tonight,
Blue moon, keep shining bright.
I said blue moon of kentucky
Just keep on shining.
Shine on the one thats gone and left me blue.
I said blue moon of kentucky
Keep on shining
Shine on the one thats gone and left me blue.
Please Don't Judas Me
Please don't judas me
Treat me as you like to be treated
Please don't blacklist me
Leave me as you'd wish to find me
Don't analyze me, sacrifice me
Please don't judas me.
Please don't chastise me
Show me just one shred of kindness
Try to help me see
Guide me in my eyes of blindness
Don't despise me, categorize me
Please don't judas me.
Please don't headshrink me
Don't disguise your innuendos
Tell no lies to me
I can see the way the wind blows
Don't deface me, annihilate me
Please don't judas me
Shelter From The Storm
Twas in another lifetime,
One of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue
And the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness,
A creature void of form.
Come in, she said,
I'll give you shelter from the storm.
If I pass this way again,
You can rest assured
I'll always do my best for her,
On that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death,
Men who are fighting to be warm.
Come in, she said,
I'll give you shelter from the storm.
Not a word was spoke between us,
There was little risk involved
Everything up to that point
Had been left unresolved.
Try imagining a place
Where its always safe and warm.
Come in, she said,
I'll give you shelter from the storm.
I was burned out from exhaustion,
Buried in the hail,
Poisoned in the bushes
An blown out on the trail,
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
Come in, she said,
I'll give you shelter from the storm.
Suddenly I turned around
And she was standin there
With silver bracelets on her wrists
And flowers in her hair.
She walked up to me so gracefully
And took my crown of thorns.
Come in, she said,
I'll give you shelter from the storm.
Now theres a wall between us,
Somethin theres been lost
I took too much for granted,
Got my signals crossed.
Just to think that it all began
On a long-forgotten morn.
Come in, she said,
I'll give you shelter from the storm.
Well, the deputy walks on hard nails
And the preacher rides a mount
But nothing really matters much,
Its doom alone that counts
And the one-eyed undertaker,
He blows a futile horn.
Come in, she said,
I'll give you shelter from the storm.
Ive heard newborn babies wailin
Like a mournin dove
And old men with broken teeth
Stranded without love.
Do I understand your question, man,
Is it hopeless and forlorn?
Come in, she said,
I'll give you shelter from the storm.
In a little hilltop village,
They gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation
An they gave me a lethal dose.
I offered up my innocence
And got repaid with scorn.
Come in, she said,
I'll give you shelter from the storm.
Well, Im livin in a foreign country
But Im bound to cross the line
Beauty walks a razors edge,
Someday I'll make it mine.
If I could only turn back the clock
To when God and her were born.
Come in, she said,
I'll give you shelter from the storm.
