I buyed me a little dog, color it was brown I learned him to whistle, sing and dance and run His legs they were fourteen yards long, his ears they were quite broad Around the world in half a day and on him I could ride Sing taddle o day I buyed me a little bull about four inches high Everybody feared him that ever heard him cry When he begins to bellow it made such melodious sound Till all the walls in London came tumbling to the ground Sing taddle o day I buyed me a flock of sheep, I thought they were all wethers Sometimes they yielded wool, sometimes they yielded feathers I think mine are the very best sheep for yielding me increase For every full and change of the moon they bring both lambs and geese Sing taddle o day I buyed me a little box about four acres square I filled it full of guineas and silver so fair Oh now Im bound for Turkey, Ill travel like an ox In my breeches pocket, Ill carry my little box Sing taddle o day I buyed me a little hen, all speckled gay and fair I sat her on an oyster shell, she hatched me out a hare The hare it sprang a handsome horse full fifteen hands high And him that tells a bigger tale would have to tell a lie Sing taddle o day

Latmosfera è buona, lui non cè È andato allestero e non tornerà La vanità se lè mangiato vivo Però è partito con dignità Ma per inciso che bel sorriso Adesso che sei in piedi qui davanti a me Ma che ci fa in un posto simile un angioletto come te? Cè stata unaltra che ti somigliava Lho conosciuta tanto tempo fa Era fantastica a dare le carte, era bravissima Me la ricordi per quel cappello e per come ti sta Ma la regina di cuori deve uscire dal tavolo, è facile Prima cera ed adesso non cè Che ci fa in un posto simile un angioletto come te? Facevi meglio a restare a casa E non andartene in cerca di guai Dovresti amare chi ti vuole bene E non vorrebbe farti piangere mai Ora è impossibile capire dal primo bacio Il tuo limite estremo qual è Ma che ci fa in un posto simile un angioletto come te? Stasera puoi diventare famosa, credimi La gente per strada si volterà Vorranno tutti sapere qualcosa e se è stato difficile Camminare sui pezzi di vetro e ritrovarsi qua Lo sai, da un pezzo si parlava di te Ancora prima che arrivassi in città E che tuo padre ha un aereo privato E molte case di proprietà Scappa da tutto questo, la gente è gelosa Fanno finta di amarti e ti odiano senza un perché Ma che ci fa in un posto simile un angioletto come te? Devi essere qualcuno per stare qui stasera Essere pronta a dannarti lanima Devi convincerti che non sei lunica a esistere Devi suonare larmonica finché la bocca non sanguina Qualcuno ha detto che lamor di patria È lultimo rifugio che cè Ruba una mela e finirai in galera Ruba un palazzo e ti faranno re Cè solo un passo da fare adesso Il paradiso lo sai bene dovè Ma che ci fa in un posto simile un angioletto come te?

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 Ill always do my best for her, on that I give my word In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm “Come in,” she said, “Ill give you shelter from the storm” Not a word was spoke between us, there was no risk involved Everything up to that point had been left unresolved Try imagining a place where it’s always safe and warm “Come in,” she said, “Ill 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, “Ill 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, “Ill give you shelter from the storm” Now theres a wall between us, somethin there’s been lost I took too much for granted, I 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” Well 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, she gave me a lethal dose I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn “Come in,” she said, “Ill give you shelter from the storm” Im livin in a foreign country but Im bound to cross the line Beauty walks a razors edge, someday Ill make it mine If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born “Come in,” she said, “Ill give you shelter from the storm”

Once upon a time you dressed so fine You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didnt you ? Peopled call, say : Beware doll, youre bound to fall You thought they were all kiddin you You used to be so proud About everybody that was hangin out Now you dont talk so loud Now you dont seem so proud About having to be scrounging around, scrouging around for your next meal How does it feel How does it feel To be without a home With no direction home Like a complete unknown Just like a rolling stone ? Youve gone to the finest school, all right Miss Lonely But you know you only used to get juiced in it Nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street And now you find out youre gonna have to get used to it You said youd never compromise With the mystery tramp but even in his eyes Into the vacuum of his eyes As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes And say : Would you like to, come on now, would you like to come on to make a deal ? How does it feel How does it feel To be without a home Like a complete unknown With no direction home Like a rolling stone ? Princess .... on the steeple and all them pretty people Theyre drinkin, thinkin that they got it made Exchanging all the precious gifts and things But youd better lift your diamond ring down, youd better pawn it babe You used to be so amused At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used Go to him now, he calls you, you cant refuse When you aint got nothing got, you got nothing to lose Youre invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal How does it feel How does it feel To be without a home With no direction home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone ? Like a rolling stone ? Like a rolling stone ?

While riding on a train going west I fell asleep for to take my rest I dreamed a dream that made me sad Concerning myself and the first few friends I had With half damp eyes I stared to the room Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon Where we together weathered many a storm Laughing and singing til the early hours of the morn By the old wooden stove where our hats were hung Our words were told and our songs were sung We longed for nothing and were satisfied Talking and joking about the world outside With haunted hearts through the heat and cold We never thought we could get very old We thought we could sit forever in fun Though our chances really were a million to one As easy it was to tell black from white It was all that easy to tell wrong from right Our choices were few and the thought never hit That the one road we traveled would ever shatter and split How many a year has passed and gone Many a gamble has been lost and won And many a road taken by many a first friend And each one of them Ive never seen again I wish, I wish, I wish in vain That we could sit simply in that room once again Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat Id give it all gladly if our lives could be like that While riding on a train going west I fell asleep for to take my rest I dreamed a dream that made me sad Concerning myself and the first few friends I had

Im walkin through these summer nights Jukebox playin low Yesterday everything was going too fast Today its movin too slow I got no place left to turn Got nothin left to burn Dont know if I saw you if I would kiss you or kill you It probably wouldnt matter to you anyhow You left me standing in the doorway crying I got nothin to go back to now The light in this place is oh so bad Makin me sick in the head All of the laughter is just making me sad The stars have turned cherry red Im strumming on my gay guitar Smoking a cheap cigar The ghost of our old love has not gone away Dont look it like it will anytime soon You left me standing in the doorway crying Under the midnight moon Maybe theyll get me, maybe they wont But not tonight and it wont be here There were things I could say, but I dont I know the mercy of God must be near Ive been riding the midnight train Got ice water in my veins I would be crazy if I took you back It would go against every rule You left me standing in the doorway crying Suffering like a fool You left me standing in the doorway crying Suffering like a fool

Everything went from bad to worse, money never changed a thing Death kept following, tracking us down, at least I heard your bluebird sing Now somebodys got to show their hand, time is an enemy I know you’re long gone, I guess it must be up to me If Id thought about it I never wouldve done it, I guess I would’ve let it slide If Id have paid attention to what others were thinking, the heart inside me wouldve died I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity Someone had to reach for the rising star, I guess it was up to me Well, the Union Central is pulling out and the orchids are in bloom Ive only got me one good shirt left and it smells of stale perfume In fourteen months Ive only smiled once and I didnt do it consciously Somebodys got to find your trail, I guess it must be up to me It was like a revelation when you betrayed me with your touch Id just about convinced myself that nothing had changed that much The old Rounder in the iron mask slipped me the master key Somebody had to unlock your heart, he said it was up to me Well, I watched you slowly disappear down into the officers’ club I would’ve followed you in the door but I didnt have a ticket stub So I waited all night ’til the break of day, hoping one of us could get free When the dawn came over the river bridge, I knew it was up to me Well, the only decent thing I did when I worked as a postal clerk Was to haul your picture down off the wall near the cage where I used to work Was I a fool or not to try to protect your identity? You looked a little burned out, my friend, I thought it might be up to me Well, I met somebody face to face and I had to remove my hat Shes everything I need and love but I cant be swayed by that It frightens me, the awful truth of how sweet life can be But she aint a-going to make me move, I guess it must be up to me We heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex It didn’t amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects When you bite off more than you can chew you pay the penalty Somebodys got to tell the tale, I guess it must be up to me Well, Dupree came in pimpin tonight to the Thunderbird Café Crystal wanted to talk to him, I had to look the other way Well, I just cant rest without you, love, I need your company But you aint a-going to cross the line, I guess it must be up to me Theres a note left in the bottle, you can give it to Estelle Shes the one you been wondering about, but theres really nothing much to tell We both heard voices for a while, now the rest is history Somebodys got to cry some tears, I guess it must be up to me So go on, boys, and play your hands, life is a pantomime The ringleaders from the county seat say you dont have all that much time And the girl with me behind the shades, she aint my property One of us has got to hit the road, I guess it must be up to me And if we never meet again, baby, remember me How my lone guitar played sweet for you that old-time melody And the harmonica around my neck, I blew it for you, free No one else could play that tune, you know it was up to me

Straight down the Mississippi river, to the Gulf of Mexico To Lake Charles, Louisiana, little Bessie, girl that I once knew She told me just to come on by, if theres anything she could do Up on Cripple Creek she sends me If I spring a leak she mends me I dont have to speak, she defends me A drunkards dream if I ever did see one Good luck had just stung me, to the race track I did go She bet on one horse to win and I bet on another to show The odds were in my favor, I had em five to one When that nag to win came around the track, sure enough she had won Up on Cripple Creek she sends me If I spring a leak she mends me I dont have to speak, she defends me A drunkards dream if I ever did see one I took up all of my winnings, and I gave my little Bessie half She tore it up and threw it in my face, just for a laugh Now theres one thing in the whole wide world, I sure would like to see Thats when that little love of mine, dips her doughnut in my tea Up on Cripple Creek she sends me If I spring a leak she mends me I dont have to speak, she defends me A drunkards dream if I ever did see one Now me and my mate were back at the shack, we had Spike Jones on the box She said, I cant take the way he sings, but I love to hear him talk Now that just gave my heart a throb, to the bottom of my feet And I swore as I took another pull, my Bessie cant be beat Up on Cripple Creek she sends me If I spring a leak she mends me I dont have to speak, she defends me A drunkards dream if I ever did see one Now theres a flood out in California and up north its freezing cold And this living on the road is getting pretty old So I guess Ill call up my big mama, tell her Ill be rolling in But you know, deep down, Im kind of tempted to go and see my Bessie again Up on Cripple Creek she sends me If I spring a leak she mends me I dont have to speak, she defends me A drunkards dream if I ever did see one

The tears of a lonely man are hidden within As he moves from one woman to the next, his spirit grows thin When he falls in love with one, its hard but its true But its oh so much harder when that woman is you The leaves on the trees shake when the storm clouds appear Just as I shake up inside when I follow you here At your invitation to come to you, dear I got lost on the river, but I got found I got lost on the river, but I didnt drown I got lost on the river, but I didnt go down I got lost on the river, but I got found I looked at the graze of blue where the light begins Through the glass where the rays shot through caressing your skin Like your invitation to follow you in I got lost on the river, but I got found I got lost on the river, but I didnt drown I got lost on the river, but I didnt go down I got lost on the river, but I got found

The festival was over, the boys were all plannin’ for a fall The cabaret was quiet except for the drillin’ in the wall The curfew had been lifted and the gamblin’ wheel shut down Anyone with any sense had already left town He was standin’ in the doorway lookin’ like the Jack of Hearts He moved across the mirrored room, “Set it up for everyone,” he said Then everyone commenced to do what they were doin’ before he turned their heads Then he walked up to a stranger and he asked him with a grin “Could you kindly tell me, friend, what time the show begins?” Then he moved into the corner, face down like the Jack of Hearts Backstage the girls were playin’ five-card stud by the stairs Lily had two queens, she was hopin’ for a third to match her pair Outside the streets were fillin’ up, the window was open wide A gentle breeze was blowin’, you could feel it from inside Lily called another bet and drew up the Jack of Hearts Big Jim was no one’s fool, he owned the town’s only diamond mine He made his usual entrance lookin’ so dandy and so fine With his bodyguards and silver cane and every hair in place He took whatever he wanted to and he laid it all to waste But his bodyguards and silver cane were no match for the Jack of Hearts Rosemary combed her hair and took a carriage into town She slipped in through the side door lookin’ like a queen without a crown She fluttered her false eyelashes and whispered in his ear “Sorry, darlin’, that I’m late,” but he didn’t seem to hear He was starin’ into space over at the Jack of Hearts “I know I’ve seen that face before,” Big Jim was thinkin’ to himself “Maybe down in Mexico or a picture up on somebody’s shelf” But then the crowd began to stamp their feet and the houselights did dim And in the darkness of the room there was only Jim and him Starin’ at the butterfly who just drew the Jack of Hearts Lily was a princess, she was fair-skinned and precious as a child She did whatever she had to do, she had that certain flash every time she smiled She’d come away from a broken home, had lots of strange affairs With men in every walk of life which took her everywhere But she’d never met anyone quite like the Jack of Hearts The hangin’ judge came in unnoticed and was being wined and dined The drillin’ in the wall kept up but no one seemed to pay it any mind It was known all around that Lily had Jim’s ring And nothing would ever come between Lily and the king No, nothin’ ever would except maybe the Jack of Hearts Rosemary started drinkin’ hard and seein’ her reflection in the knife She was tired of the attention, tired of playin’ the role of Big Jim’s wife She had done a lot of bad things, even once tried suicide Was lookin’ to do just one good deed before she died She was gazin’ to the future, riding on the Jack of Hearts Lily washed her face, took her dress off and buried it away “Has your luck run out?” she laughed at him, “Well, I guess you must Have known it would someday Be careful not to touch the wall, there’s a brand-new coat of paint I’m glad to see you’re still alive, you’re lookin’ like a saint” Down the hallway footsteps were comin’ for the Jack of Hearts The backstage manager was pacing all around by his chair “There’s something funny going on,” he said, “I can just feel it in the air” He went to get the hangin’ judge, but the hangin’ judge was drunk As the leading actor hurried by in the costume of a monk There was no actor anywhere better than the Jack of Hearts Lily’s arms were locked around the man that she dearly loved to touch She forgot all about the man she couldn’t stand who hounded her so much “I’ve missed you so,” she said to him, and he felt she was sincere But just beyond the door he felt jealousy and fear Just another night in the life of the Jack of Hearts No one knew the circumstance but they say that it happened pretty quick The door to the dressing room burst open and a cold revolver clicked And Big Jim was standin’ there, ya couldn’t say surprised Rosemary right beside him, steady in her eyes She was with Big Jim but she was leanin’ to the Jack of Hearts Two doors down the boys finally made it through the wall And cleaned out the bank safe, it’s said that they got off with quite a haul In the darkness by the riverbed they waited on the ground For one more member who had business back in town But they couldn’t go no further without the Jack of Hearts The next day was hangin’ day, the sky was overcast and black Big Jim lay covered up, killed by a penknife in the back And Rosemary on the gallows, she didn’t even blink The hangin’ judge was sober, he hadn’t had a drink The only person on the scene missin’ was the Jack of Hearts The cabaret was empty now, a sign said, “Closed for repair” Lily had already taken all of the dye out of her hair She was thinkin’ ’bout her father, who she very rarely saw Thinkin’ ’bout Rosemary and thinkin’ about the law But most of all she was thinkin’ ’bout the Jack of Hearts

Every step of the way, we walk the line Your days are numbered, so are mine Time is piling up, we struggle and we scrape All boxed in, nowhere to escape Citys just a jungle, more games to play Were trapped in the heart of it, tryin to get away I was raised in the country, been working in the town I been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase down Aint got nothing for you, had nothing before Dont even have anything for myself anymore Skys full of fire and the pains pouring down Aint nothing you can sell me, Ill see you around All my powers of expression and thoughts so sublime Could never do you justice in reason or rhyme Theres only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long Well, the devils in the alley, mules kickin in the stall Say anything you wanna, I have heard it all I was thinking about the things that Rosie said I was dreaming I was sleeping in Rosies bed Walking through the leaves, falling from the trees Feeling like a stranger nobody sees So many things that we never will undo I know youre sorry, Im sorry too Some people will offer you their hand and some wont Last night I knew you, tonight I dont I need something strong to distract my mind Im gonna look at you til my eyes go blind Well I got here following the Southern Star I crossed that river just to be where you are Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long Well, my ships been split to splinters, its sinking fast Im drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past But my heart is not weary, its light and its free Ive got nothing but affection for those who sailed with me Everybodys moving, if they aint already there Everybody got to move somewhere Stick with me baby, anyhow Things should start to get interesting right about now My clothes are wet, tight on my skin Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in I know that fortune is waiting to be kind So give me your hand and say youll be mine The emptiness is endless, cold as the clay You can always come back, but you cant come back all the way Theres only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long

If today was not an endless highway If tonight was not a crooked trail If tomorrow wasnt such a long time Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all Yes and only if my own true love was waiting If I could hear his heart softly pounding Yes and only if he was lyin by me Would I lie in my bed once again? I cant see my reflection in the waters I cant speak the sounds that show no pain I cant hear the echo of my footsteps Or remember the sound of my own name Yes and only if my own true love was waiting If I could hear his heart softly pounding Yes and only if he was lyin by me Would I lie in my bed once again? Theres beauty in that silver singin river Theres beauty in that sunrise in the sky But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty That I remember in my true loves eyes Yes and only if my own true love was waiting If I could hear his heart softly pounding Yes and only if he was lyin by me Would I lie in my bed once again?

There must be some kind of way out of here, Said the joker to the thief Theres too much confusion, I cant get no relief.” I kick a rock on the street like I’m the new meat In my head is a radio, and all it plays is Creep The mic don’t sleep, the Iron on Sheik And if I’ve got a couple words, then I spit, not speak And, I’m back, forth, until I become hoarse My skin’s gonna crack until it becomes coarse My back’s gonna break beneath all of the force And I’ll kill myself and never have felt remorse Because I dig my grave with slaves, He saves A blind man walks and the wise man stays And a blind man falls and a wise man’s days Seem to last as long as the front page He’s a flat foot liar, a smile-ass joker A mild as coked-up blunt smoke toker “Do your thing, be yourself,” that’s the word But, Fuck it, I’m the shit, with that shit you’ve never heard Like, make your money little boy it’s cool I’ll play the game, while you play the fool I’ma smirk like a jerk and work like a tool To spark that flame with a light and fuel Burn that tissue in my head Scarred from the walk of the path untread And, I’m thinking in my bed That I’ma have to bust my ass till I’m dead All along the watchtower Princess kept the view While all the women came And went the… the bare-foot servants too Outside in the cold distance A wildcat did growl Two riders were approaching And the wind began to howl So we stop the pace, slow it down, it doesn’t change The meaning I’ve been putting all over the page It’s the wise man talk, and the blind man’s rage And I’ve finally figured out how it’s phrased “Hold my hand, tell me what you feel Tell me what’s real, and tell me what’s still Tell me what moves and tell me what kills You can see now, can’t you?” This is who I am, what I am Everyone that knows, knows who I am More than a handle, more than a brand The wise man guides and the blind man damns Fuck the illusions, fuck metaphors I’ll tell it to you straight and I’ll be better for it I’m white fucking hot, standing here glowing And I’m better than you, and you know it I dont know if I can continue doing this. Ive been told Im a loser, Ive been told I suck. Ive been told Im not tall enough, Ive been told Im too loud, Ive been told I run my mouth backstage. You know why I run my mouth? Because if you can get in the ring with me, one person backstage - ONE PERSON! - outdoes me in this business in any aspect, in the back, in the ring, in my house, I DONT CARE! EVERYTHING I DO IS TO BECOME BETTER! THE BEST! EVER! I WILL NOT BE OUTSHINED! This is indecision. I’ve reached a fork in the road. To the left, a joker. To the right, mirrors him a thief. What do we choose? How can we? Alice. Guide me. Be my eyes. Be my wiseman. Please
