“Oh, help me in my weakness” I heard the drifter say As they carried him from the courtroom And were taking him away “My trip hasn’t been a pleasant one And my time it isn’t long And I still do not know What it was that I’ve done wrong” Well, the judge, he cast his robe aside A tear came to his eye “You fail to understand,” he said “Why must you even try?” Outside, the crowd was stirring You could hear it from the door Inside, the judge was stepping down While the jury cried for more “Oh, stop that cursed jury” Cried the attendant and the nurse “The trial was bad enough But this is ten times worse” Just then a bolt of lightning Struck the courthouse out of shape And while ev’rybody knelt to pray The drifter did escape

I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling about half past dead; I just need some place where I can lay my head Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?

I hate myself for loving’ you and the weakness that it showed You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road The stage was set, the lights went out all around the old hotel I hate myself for loving’ you and I’m glad the curtain fell I hate that foolish game we played and the need that was expressed And the mercy that you showed to me, who ever would have guessed? I went out on Lower Broadway and I felt that place within That hollow place where martyrs weep and angels play with sin Heard your songs of freedom and man forever stripped Acting out his folly while his back is being whipped Like a slave in orbit, he’s beaten ’till he’s tame All for a moment’s glory and it’s a dirty, rotten shame There are those who worship loneliness, I’m not one of them In this age of fiberglass I’m searching for a gem The crystal ball up on the wall hasn’t shown me nothing yet I’ve paid the price of solitude, but at least I’m out of debt Can’t recall a useful thing you ever did for me ’Cept pat me on the back one time when I was on my knees We stared into each other’s eyes ’till one of us would break No use to apologize, what difference would it make? So sing your praise of progress and of the Doom Machine The naked truth is still taboo whenever it can be seen Lady Luck, who shines on me, will tell you where I’m at I hate myself for loving’ you, but I should get over that

Blueberry, apple, cherry, pumpkin, and plum Call me for dinner, honey, I’ll be there Saddle me up my big white goose Tie me on her and turn her loose Oh me, oh my Love that country pie I don’t need much, that ain’t no lie Ain’t runnin any race Give to me my country pie I won’t throw it up in anybody’s face Shake me up that old peach tree ALittle Jack Horner got nothin’ on me Oh me, oh my Love that country pie

I’ve been burned before and I know the score So you won’t hear me complain Will I be able to count on you Or is your love in vain? Are you so fast that you cannot see that I must have solitude? When I am in the darkness, why do you intrude? Do you know my world, do you know my kind Or must I explain? Will you let me be myself Or is your love in vain? Well I’ve been to the mountain and I’ve been in the wind I’ve been in and out of happiness I have dined with kings, I’ve been offered wings And I’ve never been too impressed All right, I’ll take a chance, I will fall in love with you If I’m a fool you can have the night, you can have the morning too Can you cook and sew, make flowers grow Do you understand my pain? Are you willing to risk it all Or is your love in vain? Can you cook and sew, make flowers grow Do you understand my pain? Are you willing to risk it all Or is your love in vain?

I cross the green mountain, I slept by the stream Heaven blazin in my head, I dreamt a monstrous dream Somethin came up out of the sea Swept through the land of the rich and the free I look into the eyes of my merciful friend And then I ask myself, is this the end? Memories linger, sad yet sweet And I think of the souls in heaven who will meet Altars are burnin with flames far and wide The foe has crossed over from the other side They tip their caps from the top of the hill You can feel them come, more brave blood to spill Along the dim Atlantic line The ravaged land lies for miles behind The lights comin forward and the streets are broad All must yield to the avengin God The world is old, the world is gray Lessons of life cant be learned in a day I watch and I wait and I listen while I stand To the music that comes from a far better land Close the eyes of our captain, peace may he know His long night is done, the great leader is laid low He was ready to fall, he was quick to defend Killed outright he was, by his own men Its the last days last hour of the last happy year I feel that the unknown world is so near Pride will vanish and glory will rot But virtue lives and cannot be forgot The bells of the evening have rung Theres blasphemy on every tongue Let em say that I walked in fair natures light And that I was loyal to truth and to right Serve God and be cheerful, look upward, beyond Beyond the darkness of masks, the surprises of dawn In the deep green grasses of the blood stained wood They never dreamed of surrenderin, they fell where they stood Stars fell over Alabama, I saw each star Youre walkin in dreams, whoever you are Chilled are the skies, keen is the frost The grounds froze hard and the morning is lost A letter to mother came today Gun shot wound to the breast is what it did say But hell be better soon, hes in a hospital bed But hell never be better, hes already dead Im ten miles outside the city and Im lifted away In an ancient light that is not of day They were calm, they were blunt, we knew em all too well We loved each other more than we ever dared to tell

My boiling point is much too low For me to try to be a fly Lothario I think Ill crawl right back and into my shell Dwelling in my personal Hell Ill have to change my pattern round I lost the one girl the one girl Id found Yes, the one girl The one girl that I found

In death, you face life with a child and a wife Who sleep-walks through your dreams into walls You’re a soldier of mercy, you’re cold and you curse “He who cannot be trusted must fall” Loneliness, tenderness, high society, notoriety You fight for the throne and you travel alone Unknown as you slowly sink And there’s no time to think In the Federal City you been blown and shown pity In secret, for pieces of change The empress attracts you but oppression distracts you And it makes you feel violent and strange Memory, ecstasy, tyranny, hypocrisy Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss In the valley of the missing link And you have no time to think Judges will haunt you, the country priestess will want you Her worst is better than best I’ve seen all these decoys through a set of deep turquoise eyes And I feel so depressed China doll, alcohol, duality, mortality Mercury rules you and destiny fools you Like the plague, with a dangerous wink And there’s no time to think Your conscience betrayed you when some tyrant waylaid you Where the lion lies down with the lamb I’d have paid off the traitor and killed him much later But that’s just the way that I am Paradise, sacrifice, mortality, reality But the magician is quicker and his game Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink And there’s no time to think Anger and jealousy’s all that he sells us He’s content when you’re under his thumb Madmen oppose him, but your kindness throws him To survive it you play deaf and dumb Equality, liberty, humility, simplicity You glance through the mirror and there’s eyes staring clear At the back of your head as you drink And there’s no time to think Warlords of sorrow and queens of tomorrow Will offer their heads for a prayer You can’t find no salvation, you have no expectations Anytime, anyplace, anywhere Mercury, gravity, nobility, humility You know you can’t keep her and the water gets deeper That is leading you onto the brink But there’s no time to think You’ve murdered your vanity, buried your sanity For pleasure you must now resist Lovers obey you but they cannot sway you They’re not even sure you exist Socialism, hypnotism, patriotism, materialism Fools making laws for the breaking of jaws And the sound of the keys as they clink But there’s no time to think The bridge that you travel on goes to the Babylon girl With the rose in her hair Starlight in the East and you’re finally released You’re stranded but with nothing to share Loyalty, unity, epitome, rigidity You turn around for one real last glimpse of Camille ’Neath the moon shining’ bloody and pink And there’s no time to think Bullets can harm you and death can disarm you But no, you will not be deceived Stripped of all virtue as you crawl through the dirt You can give but you cannot receive No time to choose when the truth must die No time to lose or say goodbye No time to prepare for the victim that’s there No time to suffer or blink And no time to think

Trails of troubles Roads of battles Paths of victory I shall walk The trail is dusty And my road it might be rough But the better roads are waiting And boys it ain’t far off I walked down by the river I turned my head up high I saw that silver linin’ That was hanging in the sky The evening dusk was rolling I was walking down the track There was a one-way wind a-blowin’ And it was blowin’ at my back The gravel road is bumpy It’s a hard road to ride But there’s a clearer road a-waitin’ With the cinders on the side That evening train was rolling The humming of its wheels My eyes they saw a better day As I looked across the fields The trail is dusty The road it might be rough But the good road is a-waiting And boys it ain’t far off

Down over the window Comes the dazzling sunlit rays Through the back alleys—through the blinds Another one of them endless days Honey bees are buzzing Leaves begin to stir I’m in love with my second cousin I tell myself I could be happy forever with her I keep listening for footsteps But I ain’t hearing any From the boat I fish for bullheads I catch a lot, sometimes too many A summer breeze is blowing A squall is settin’ in Sometimes it’s just plain stupid To get into any kind of wind The old men ’round here, sometimes they get On bad terms with the younger men But old, young, age don’t carry weight It doesn’t matter in the end One of the boss’ hangers-on Comes to call at times you least expect Try to bully ya—strong-arm you—inspire you with fear It has the opposite effect There’s a new grove of trees on the outskirts of town The old one is long gone Timber two-foot-six across Burns with the bark still on They say times are hard, if you don’t believe it You can just follow your nose It don’t bother me—times are hard everywhere We’ll just have to see how it goes My old man, he’s like some feudal lord Got more lives than a cat Never seen him quarrel with my mother even once Things come alive or they fall flat You can smell the pinewood burning You can hear the school bell ring Gotta get up near the teacher if you can If you wanna learn anything Romeo, he said to Juliet, “You got a poor complexion It doesn’t give your appearance a very youthful touch!” Juliet said back to Romeo, “Why don’t you just shove off If it bothers you so much” They all got out of here any way they could The cold rain can give you the shivers They went down the Ohio, the Cumberland, the Tennessee All the rest of them rebel rivers If you ever try to interfere with me or cross my path again You do so at the peril of your own life I’m not quite as cool or forgiving as I sound I’ve seen enough heartaches and strife My grandfather was a duck trapper He could do it with just dragnets and ropes My grandmother could sew new dresses out of old cloth I don’t know if they had any dreams or hopes I had them once though, I suppose, to go along With all the ring-dancing Christmas carols on all of the Christmas eves I left all my dreams and hopes Buried under tobacco leaves It’s not always easy kicking someone out Gotta wait a while—it can be an unpleasant task Sometimes somebody wants you to give something up And tears or not, it’s too much to ask

Broke my heart, lost my soul Adios, mi corazón Spanish is the loving tongue Soft as music, light as spring It was a girl I learned it from Living down Sonora way Well, I dont look much like a lover Still I say her love words over Mostly when Im all alone Mi amor, mi corazón Havent seen her since that night I cant cross the line you know They want me for a gambling fight Like as not its better so Still I always kind of missed her Since that last sad night I kissed her Broke her heart, lost my own Adios, mi corazón Broke her heart, lost my own Adios, mi corazón Adios, mi corazón Adios, mi corazón

There’s a long-distance train rolling through the rain Tears on the letter I write There’s a woman I long to touch and I miss her so much But she’s drifting like a satellite There’s a neon light ablaze in a green smoky haze Laughter down on Elizabeth Street And a lonesome bell tone in that valley of stone Where she bathed in a stream of pure heat Her father would emphasize you got to be more than streetwise But he practiced what he preached from the heart A full-blooded Cherokee, he predicted it to me The time and the place that wed part There’s a babe in the arms of a woman in a rage And a longtime golden-haired stripper onstage And she winds back the clock and she turns back the page Of a book that nobody can write Oh, where are you tonight? The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure To live it you had to explode In that last hour of need, we entirely agreed Sacrifice was the code of the road I left town at dawn, with Marcel and St. John Strong men belittled by doubt I couldn’t tell her what my private thoughts were But she had some way of finding them out He took dead-center aim but he missed just the same She was waiting, putting flowers on the shelf She could feel my despair as I climbed up her hair And discovered her invisible self There’s a lion in the road, there’s a demon escaped There’s a million dreams gone, there’s a landscape being raped As her beauty fades and I watch her undrape I won’t but then again, maybe I might Oh, if I could just find you tonight I fought with my twin, that enemy within ’Til both of us fell by the way Horseplay and disease is killing me by degrees While the law looks the other way Your partners in crime hit me up for nickels and dimes The man you were lovin’ could never get clean It felt out of place, my foot in his face But he should-a stayed where his money was green I bit into the root of forbidden fruit With the juice running down my leg Then I dealt with your boss, who’d never known about loss Who always was too proud to beg There’s a white diamond gloom on the dark side of this room And a pathway that leads up to the stars If you don’t believe there’s a price for this sweet paradise Just remind me to show you the scars There’s a new day at dawn and I’ve finally arrived If I’m there in the morning, baby, you’ll know I’ve survived I can’t believe it, I can’t believe I’m alive But without you it just doesn’t seem right Oh, where are you tonight?

Old Reilly stole a stallion But they caught him and they brought him back And they laid him down on the Jailhouse ground With an iron chain around his neck Old Reilly’s daughter got a message That her father was going’ to hang She rode by night and came by morning With gold and silver in her hand When the judge he saw Reilly’s daughter His old eyes deepened in his head Saying, “Gold will never free your father The price, my dear, is you instead” “Oh I’m as good as dead,” cried Reilly “It’s only you that he does crave And my skin will surely crawl if he touches you at all Get on your horse and ride away” “Oh father you will surely die If I don’t take the chance to try And pay the price and not take your advice For that reason I will have to stay” The gallows shadows shook the evening In the night a hound dog bayed In the night the grounds were groaning In the night the price was paid The next morning she had awoken To know that the judge had never spoken She saw that hangin’ branch a-bendin’ She saw her father’s body broken These be seven curses on a judge so cruel: That one doctor will not save him That two healers will not heal him That three eyes will not see him That four ears will not hear him That five walls will not hide him That six diggers will not bury him And that seven deaths shall never kill him

Who killed Davey Moore? Why, and what’s the reason for? “Not I,” says the referee “Don’t point your finger at me I could’ve stopped it in the eighth And maybe kept him from his fate But the crowd would’ve booed, I’m sure At not getting their money’s worth It’s too bad he had to go But there was a pressure on me too, you know It wasn’t me that made him fall No, you can’t blame me at all” Who killed Davey Moore? Why, and what’s the reason for? “Not us,” says the angry crowd Whose screams filled the arena loud “It’s too bad he died that night But we just like to see a fight We didn’t mean for him to meet his death We just meant to see some sweat There is nothing wrong in that It wasn’t us that made him fall No, you can’t blame us at all” Who killed Davey Moore?

Why, and what’s the reason for? “Not me,” says the gambling man With his ticket stub still in his hand “It wasn’t me that knocked him down My hands never touched him none I didn’t commit no ugly sin Anyway, I put money on him to win It wasn’t me that made him fall No, you can’t blame me at all” Who killed Davey Moore?

The iron hand, it aint match for the iron rod The strongest wall will crumble and fall to a mighty God For all those who have eyes and all those who have ears It is only He who can reduce me to tears Don’t you cry and don’t you die and don’t you burn For like a thief in the night, He’ll replace wrong with right When He returns Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through He unleashed His power at an unknown hour that no one knew How long can I listen to the lies of prejudice? How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness? Can I cast it aside, all this loyalty and this pride? Will I ever learn that there’ll be no peace, that the war won’t cease Until He returns? Surrender your crown on this bloodstained ground, take off your mask He sees your deeds, He knows your needs even before you ask How long can you falsify and deny what is real? How long can you hate yourself for the weakness you conceal? Of every earthly plan that be known to man, He is unconcerned He’s got plans of His own to set up His throne When He returns

Seven days, seven more days she’ll be coming I’ll be waiting at the station for her to arrive Seven more days, all I gotta do is survive She been gone ever since I been a child Ever since I seen her smile, I ain’t forgotten her eyes She had a face that could outshine the sun in the skies I been good, I been good while I been waiting Maybe guilty of hesitating, I just been holding on Seven more days, all that’ll be gone There’s kissing in the valley Thieving in the alley Fighting every inch of the way Trying to be tender With somebody I remember In a night that’s always brighter’n the day Seven days, seven more days that are connected Just like I expected, she’ll be coming on forth My beautiful comrade from the north

Well, I woke up this morning The place was such a wreck I couldnt reach the bathroom Thought I better clear the deck I tried to call the lawyer And asked him what to do He referred me to his doctor Who referred me back to you And when you checked the manual You kept inside the case It said put it in a cool dry place Well, I drove around the city Looking for a room That was high above the water Where my things could be in tune There was no one to help me Nobody even cared I had to go through hell To get those things up there I paid my first subscription Then I joined the idle race And they said, Store it in a cool dry place I got guitar, basses, amplifiers and drums Accordions and mandolins and things that sometimes hum Cymbals and harmonicas, capos by the score And lots of things in boxes laying all around the floor Some places they get mildew And others get too hot Some places are so damp that Everything you got just rots All kinds of condensation Direct result of rain And not much compensation When everythings been stained Some have sentimental value that Cannot be erased Go store it in a cool dry place We got solids and acoustics And some from plywood board And some are trimmed in leather And some are made with gourds Theres organs and trombones And reverbs we cant use Lots of DX-7s And old athletic shoes I bought a great big building That took up one whole block I made an inventory Of all the things in stock The place was getting longer I was up all night I used up all my pencils But I went on despite The blurring of my vision The sweat upon my face I got to put this stuff away, I mustnt leave a trace The landlords breathing down my neck He says its a disgrace So I said, Put it in a cool, dry place

Oh, well, I love ya pretty baby Youre the only love Ive ever known Just as long as you stay with me The whole world is my throne Beyond here lies nothin Nothin we can call our own Well, Im moving after midnight Down boulevards of broken cars Dont know what Id do without it Without this love that we call ours Beyond here lies nothin Nothin but the moon and stars Down every street theres a window And every window made of glass Well keep on loving, pretty baby For as long as love will last Beyond here lies nothin But the mountains of the past Well, my ship is in the harbor And the sails are spread Listen to me, pretty baby Lay your hand upon my head Beyond here lies nothin Nothin done, and nothin said

Once upon a time you dressed so fine Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didnt you? People call, say, Beware doll, youre bound to fall You thought they were all kiddin you You used to laugh about Everybody that was hangin out Now you dont talk so loud Now you dont seem so proud About having to be scrounging your next meal How does it feel How does it feel To be without a home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone? Ah, youve gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely But you know you only used to get juiced in it Nobodys ever taught you how to live out on the street And now youre gonna have to get used to it You say you never compromise With the mystery tramp, but now you realize Hes not selling any alibis As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes And say, Do you want to make a deal? How does it feel How does it feel To be on your own With no direction home A complete unknown Like a rolling stone? Ah, you never turned around to see the frowns On the jugglers and the clowns When they all did tricks for you You never understood that it aint no good You shouldnt let other people get your kicks for you You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat Aint it hard when you discover that He really wasnt where its at After he took from you everything he could steal? How does it feel How does it feel To be on your own With no direction home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone? Ah, princess on the steeple and all the pretty people Theyre all drinkin, thinkin that they got it made Exchanging all precious gifts But youd better take your diamond ring 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 nothin, you got nothin to lose Youre invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal How does it feel Ah, how does it feel To be on your own With no direction home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone?

As a man who has always had the wandring ways Now Im reaching back for yesterdays Til a long-forgotten love appears And I find that Im sighing softly as I near September, the warm September of my years As I man who has never paused at wishing wells Now Im watching childrens carousels And their laughters music to my ears And I find that Im smiling gently as I near September, the warm September of my years The golden warm September of my years

Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble Ancient footprints are everywhere You could almost think that youre seeing double On the cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs Gotta hurry on back to my hotel room Where I got me a date with a pretty little girl from Greece She promised shed be there with me When I paint my masterpiece Oh, the hours we spent, inside the Coliseum Dodging lions, and a-wasting time Oh those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see em Yes it sure has been a long, hard climb Train wheels a-running thru the back of my memory When I ran on a hilltop following a pack of wild geese Someday everything is gonna sound like a rhapsody When I paint my masterpiece Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola Oh to be back in the land of, Coca-Cola Well I left Rome, and landed in Brussels On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried Clergy men in uniform, and young girls pulling mussels Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside Newspaper men eating candy Had to be held down by big police Someday, its gonna be different When I paint my masterpiece

The seasons they are turnin and my sad heart is yearning To hear again the songbird’s sweet melodious tone Won’t you meet me out in the moonlight alone? The dusky light, the day is losing, Orchids, Poppies, Black-eyed Susan The earth and sky that melts with flesh and bone Won’t you meet me out in the moonlight alone? The air is thick and heavy all along the levy Where the geese into the countryside have flown Won’t you meet me out in the moonlight alone? Well, I’m preaching peace and harmony The blessings of tranquility Yet I know when the time is right to strike I’ll take you cross the river dear You’ve no need to linger here I know the kinds of things you like The clouds are turning crimson, the leaves fall from the limbs an’ The branches cast their shadows over stone Won’t you meet me out in the moonlight alone? The boulevards of cypress trees, the masquerades of birds and bees The petals, pink and white, the wind has blown Won’t you meet me out in the moonlight alone? The trailing moss and mystic glow The purple blossoms soft as snow My tears keep flowing to the sea Doctor, lawyer, Indian chief It takes a thief to catch a thief For whom does the bell toll for, love? It tolls for you and me My pulse is running through my palm, the sharp hills are rising from The yellow fields with twisted oaks that groan Won’t you meet me out in the moonlight alone?

One evening for pleasure I rambled to view The fair fields all alone Down by the banks of Loch Eiron Where beauty and pleasure were known I spied a fair maid at her labour Which caused me to stay for a while And I thought of a goddess to beauty Bloomin bright star of Bright Isle I humbled myself to her beauty Fair maiden, where do you belong? Are you from heaven descended Abiding in Cupids fair throne? Young man, I will tell you a secret Its true Im a maid that is poor And to part from my vows and my promise Is more than my heart can endure Therefore I remain at my service And go through all my hardship and toil And wait for the lad that has left me All alone on the banks of Belle Isle. Young maiden I wish not to banter Its true I come here in disguise I came here to fulfill our last promise And hope to give you a surprise Ive known youre a maid I love dearly And youve been in my heart all the while For me there is no other damsel Than my blooming bright star of Belle Isle.

Something there is about you that strikes a match in me Is it the way your body moves or is it the way your hair blows free? Or is it because you remind me of something that used to be Something’ that crossed over from another century? Thought I’d shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth Rainy days on the Great Lakes, walk-in’ the hills of old Duluth There was me and Danny Lopez, cold eyes, black night and then there was Ruth Something there is about you that brings back a long-forgotten truth Suddenly I found you and the spirit in me sings Don’t have to look no further, you’re the soul of many things I could say that I’d be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death Something there is about you that moves with style and grace I was in a whirlwind, now I’m in some better place My hand’s on the sabre and you’ve picked up the baton Something’ there is about you that I can’t quite put my finger on

I was born in Dixie in a boomer shed Just a little shanty by the railroad track Freight train was it taught me how to cry The holler of the driver was my lullaby I got the freight train blues Oh Lord mama, I got them in the bottom of my rambling shoes And when the whistle blows I got to go baby, dont you know Well, it looks like Im never going to lose the freight train blues Well, my daddy was a fireman and my mama-ha She was the only daughter of an engineer My sweetheart was a brakeman and it aint no joke Seems a waste to get a good man broke I got the freight train blues Oh Lord mama, I got them in the bottom of my rambling shoes And when the whistle blows I got to go mama, dont you know Well, it looks like Im never going to lose the freight train blues Well, the only thing that makes me laugh again Is a southbound whistle on a southbound train Every place I want to go I never can go Because you know I got the freight train blues Oh Lord mama, I got them in the bottom of my rambling shoes
