"May I Borrow Some Sugar From You"



You don’t know me from Adam, madam
May I introduce myself to you?
I live one floor down below
I hear and know almost everything you do

I used to hear four feet dancin'
Now I’m countin' only two
May I borrow some sugar from you?

You can call me nosy neighbor
I’ll admit it’s mostly truth
But it’s hard to satisfy a cravin’
Can you relate to an old sweet tooth?

‘Cause coffee all alone every mornin’
Makes a bitter tastin’ brew
Can I borrow some sugar from you?

Don’t know how I got this feeling
Maybe it’s because your floor is my ceiling
At times I wish it would just crash on through

'Cause coffee all alone every mornin’
Makes a bitter tastin’ brew
May I borrow some sugar from you?

You don’t know me from Adam, madam
May I introduce myself to you?
I live one floor down below
I hear and know almost everything you do

I used to hear four feet dancin'
Now I’m countin' only two
May I borrow some sugar from you?

'Cause coffee all alone every mornin’
Makes a bitter tastin’ brew
Can I borrow a little sugar from you?

Well, I used to hear four feet dancin'
Now I’m countin' only two
May I borrow some sugar from you?

'Cause coffee all alone every mornin’
Sure makes a bitter tastin’ brew

"Me And Bobby Mcgee"
(originally by Roger Miller)



Busted flat in Baton Rouge headed for the trains
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Orleans.

I took my har'poon out of my dirty red bandana
I was playin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield whipers slappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands
We finally sang up ever song that driver knew.

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Feeling it was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me Lord through everything I done
Every night she'd keep me from the cold.

Somewhere near Salinas Lord Bobby slipped away
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
I'd trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday
Holding her body close to mine.

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Feeling it was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

"Medley Of Buddy Holly Hits"



Well All Right
Well all right, so I'm bein' foolish
Well all right let people know

And the night when lights are low.

Well all right, well all right
Our lifetime love will be all right.

It's So Easy

Maybe Baby

It's funny honey, you don't care

Well, you are the one that makes me glad
And you are the one that makes me sad
Well, someday you want me, you will
I'll be there to wait and see.

Maybe baby, I'll have you
Maybe baby, you'll be true
Maybe baby, you'll love me some day

Peggy Sue

"Medley Of Hits"


[I'm A Ramblin' Man]

Well, I've been down to Mississippi
Down through New Orleans, yes, I have
I've played in California
There ain't too much I haven't seen, No there ain't.

Oh, I'm a ramblin' man
Don't fool around with any old ramblin' man.

[This Time]

This time, if you want me to come back
It's up to you
But remember I won't allow the things
You used to do.

Gonna have to toe the mark
And walk the line
This time will be
The last time.

[Don't You Think This Outlaw Bits Done Gone Out of Hand]

I'm for the law and order the way it should be
This song's about the night they spent protecting you from me
Don't you think this outlaw bit's done got out of hand
What started out to be a joke the law don't understand.

Was it singing through my nose that got me busted by the man
Maybe this here outlaw bit's done got out of hand.

[Clyde]

Clyde played electric bass
{layed it with finesse and grace
Set on the porch, ain't got no shoes
Pickin' that bass and singin' the blues.

[Good Hearted Woman]

Lord, she don't understand him
But she does the best that she can
She's a good hearted woman
In love with her good timin' man.

She's a good hearted woman
In love with a good timin' man
She loves him in spite of his wicked ways
That she don't understand.

Through teardrops and laughter
They'll pass through this world hand in hand
A good hearted woman
Lovin' her good timin' man.


[Ladies Love Outlaws]

Ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
And outlaws touch the ladies
Somewhere deep down in their soul.

[Luckenbach Texas (Back In The Basics Of Love)]

Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas
With Waylon and Willie and the Boys
This succesful life we're livin's
Got us feudin' like the Hatfields and McCoys.

Between Hank Williams pain songs
And Newbury's train songs
And ''Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain''
Out in Luckenbach Texas
Ain't nobody feelin' no pain.

[I've Always Been Crazy]

I've always been crazy
It's kept me from going insane
Nobody knows if
It's something to blast heart of flame.

Till now I ain't found the rhyme
Or the reason to change
I've always been crazy
It kept me from going insane...

"Medley: That's All Right Mama / My Baby Left Me"


[That's All Right Mama]
Well, that's all right mama that's all right with you
That's all right mama anyway you do
Well, that's all right that's all right
That's all right mama, anyway you do.

Well, my mama she done told me papa done told me too
Son that gal you're foolin' with she ain't no good for you
Well, that's all right, that's all right
That's all right mama, anyway you do.

[My Baby Left Me]
Well, my baby left me she never said a word
Was it something that I've done or something that she heard
You know she left me, yeah she left me
Lord, my baby left me, never said a word.

Well Lord, 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 he left me
My baby, even left me, never said goodbye.

"Memories Of You And I"



I thought to leave your bed
For the street was as simple as saying goodbye
I couldn't see how blind a man can be
Lord, how quickly life can fly.

As the lines in my face grow deeper
And the well of my soul runs dry
I find that I drink more and more
From the memories of you and I.

The taste of fame is fire to me no more
The tension and hunger are gone
All I have left are money in the game
I'm a prisoner too low I'm on.

As the lines in my face grow deeper
And the well of my soul runs dry
I find that I drink more and more
From the memories of you and I.

"Mental Revenge"


I hope that the friend
You've thrown yourself with
He gets drunk and loses his job
And every road that you travel on
Is dusty, rocky and hard
I couldn't make you love me
You only made me blue
So all in all, if the curtain should fall
Lord, I hope that it falls on you.

I will have sweet, sweet, sweet mental revenge.
I will have sweet, sweet, sweet mental revenge.

[Instrumental]

Well, I hope that the train
From Caribou Maine
Runs over your new love affair
You walk the floor
From door to door
And pull out your peroxide hair.

You never was my woman
'Cause you were never true
So all in all if the curtain should fall
Lord, I hope that it falls on you.

I will have sweet, sweet, sweet mental revenge.
I will have sweet, sweet, sweet mental revenge.

I will have sweetm sweet, sweet mental revenge...

"Midnight Rider"
(originally by The Allman Brothers Band)



I gotta run to keep from hidin'
I'm bound to keep on a ridin'
I got one more silver dollar
I ain't gonna let 'em catch me
No I ain't gonna let 'em catch
A midnight rider.

Well, these ain't my clothes I'm wearin'
This old road goes on forever
I got one more silver dollar
I ain't gonna let 'em catch me
No I ain't gonna let 'em catch
A midnight rider.

I've gone by the point of carin'
Some old bed I'll soon be sharin'
I got one more silver dollar
I ain't gonna let 'em catch me
No I ain't gonna let 'em catch
A midnight rider.

I ain't gonna let 'em catch me
No I ain't gonna let 'em catch
A midnight rider...

"Mississippi Woman"



The reflections of the trees are cut by the bow of my pirogue
And spattered by the paddle of my eager hand
That Mississippi woman is a wavin' over yonder
Wavin' her lantern for her Louisiana man.

How I love that Mississippi woman
How I love that Mississippi girl
How I love that Mississippi woman
But her heart does not belong to me.

The lantern light and moonbeams are dancing patterns on the water
She doesn't seem to realize I've learned her secret plans
My jealous mind is thinking as I paddle through the sleeping alligators
She don't know I know about her Louisiana man.

How I love that Mississippi woman
How I love that Mississippi girl
How I love that Mississippi woman
But her heart does not belong to me.

The reflections of the trees are cut by the bow of my pirogue
And splattered by the paddle of my shaky hand
The silence from behind me is alive with the splashing alligators
And the lantern light is blinking on the bottom in the sand.

How I love that Mississippi woman
How I love that Mississippi girl
How I love that Mississippi woman
But her heart does not belong to me.

How I love that Mississippi woman
How I love that Mississippi girl
How I love that Mississippi woman
But her heart does not belong to me...

"Mona"



I can give you golden tinkling bells
To even dangle through your long black hair
I can give you magic satin slippers
Woven just to take you anywhere.

I can give you all the love and tenderness
A broken heart can spare
But Mona take the love I give
Don't ask for love I gave away back there.

You could take the hand of any man
And show him how to dream
Why do you look back into my dark
And bitter past, can't you see?

Mona when you found me
All I had was sad and broken dreams
Mona please be satisfied walking
Through tomorrow here with me.

I can give you golden tinkling bells
To even dangle through your long black hair
I can give you magic satin slippers
Woven just to take you anywhere...

"Money (That's What I Want)"



The best things in life are free
But you can keep them for the birds and bees
Now give me money
That's what I want

You're lovin' gives me a thrill
But you're lovin' don't pay my bills
Now give me money
That's what I want

Money don't get everything, it's true
What it don't get, I can't use
Now give me money
That's what I want

Money don't get everything, it's true
What it don't get, I can't use
Now give me money
That's what I want

Well, now give me money, money
Wow, yeah, I wanna be free
I want money
That's what I want

That's what I want
Now give me money, money
You need money, give me money
That's what I want

That's what I want

"Money Cannot Make The Man"


So long I've been trying to give you the things that you've wanted
But your thirst for riches is more than my pockets can stand
And I know that you're dreaming of things you could have with another
'Cause to your way of thinking the money is what makes the man.

You like to be seen in the richest and finest of places
You're always embarrassed by the callouses here on my hands
And I know that it's only a matter of time till you leave me
'Cause to your way of thinking the money is what makes the man.

You may find a rich man to give you the things that you long for
But if you're still lonely then darling you may understand
That with all of his gold he can't give you the love that I gave you
For a man can make money but money cannot make the man.

[Instrumental]

You may find a rich man to give you the things that you long for
But if you're still lonely then darling you may understand
That with all of his gold he can't give you the love that I gave you
For a man can make money but money cannot make the man.

A man can make money but money cannot make the man...

"Must You Throw Dirt In My Face"



What is it that brings you to this part of town
Curiosity, conscience or fate
I know it's not love for I once gave you love
And all you gave me was the gate.

I got a feeling you've come back to just rub it in
And it really put me in my place
You've already put big old tears in my eyes
Why must you throw dirt in my face?

Must you keep telling me you've got a new love
I don't need you to remind me
Must you keep telling me I look so lonesome
And that my better days are behind me.

Must you keep showing me pictures of him
And boasting of his warm embrace
You've already put big old tears in my eyes
Must you throw dirt in my face?

You've already left me and broken my heart
Told me how much you don't want me
Believe I'm happier when we're apart
Why must you come back now and haunt me?

Must you keep showing me pictures of him
And boasting of his warm embrace
You've already put big old tears in my eyes
Must you throw dirt in my face?

You've already put big old tears in my eyes
Must you throw dirt in my face?...

"My Ramona"



Everybody's talking bad about Ramona
They say she's changed a lot since I've been gone
They say she may not be too glad to see me
Cause Ramona doesn't know I'm coming home.

But everybody's wrong about Ramona
They're just going by the way she's actin' now
I just can't believe the things they say about her
'Cause Ramona knows the things I wanna allow.

Ramona's gonna be the way she used to be
And I'll be proud of her just like I was before
She never was the kind to like those crowded bars
And Ramona won't be seen there anymore.

They say I may not recognize Ramona
And going by the picture they describe
The life they say she's living sure don't fit her
But I know she's still the same sweet girl inside.

Ramona's gonna be the way she used to be
And I'll be proud of her just like I was before
She never was the kind to like those crowded bars
And Ramona won't be seen there anymore...

"Nashville Bum"


I've been chasin' the big wheels all over Nashville
Waitin' for my big break to come
Livin' on ketchup soup homemade crackers and coolaid
I'll be a star tomorrow but today I'm a Nashville bum.

I love good and cowboy clothes and I sing through my nose
Webb said that's the way that getter done
I smoke good old PA like the Opry stars they say
I'll be a star tomorrow but today I'm a Nashville bum.

[Instrumental]

Well, a friend of a friend of mine is a friend of art divider
And he finally got me on the Opry show
I'll walk up like a star tripped and busted my guitar
I'll be a star tomorrow but today I'm a Nashville bum.

Well now here's a song I wrote by myself note to note
With a lot of help it might make No 1
You can change a word or two and I'll give half of it to you
I'll be a star tomorrow but today I'm a Nashville bum.

Yes, I'll be a star tomorrow but today I'm a Nashville bum...

"Nashville Rebel"


They call me the Nashville Rebel
They say leave that boy alone
Don't you give him advice or he'll turn to ice
And you might as well talk to stone.

But I've got things to do
And things to say in my own way
I don't have time for your parties
My love's little guessin' games.

I've got songs to write in the still of night
I was born to write and sing
And I've got things to do
And things to say in my own way.

[Instrumental]

They call me the Nashville Rebel
Little girl don't you waste your time
For I've given my heart to this old guitar
You deserve a better love than mine.

And I've got things to do
And things to say in my own way
I'm the Nashville Rebel
I'm alone and I like it fine.

I'd like to have a wife and live a normal life
But I just don't have the time
'Cause I've got things to do
And things to say in my own way.

I've got things to do and things to say
In my own way...

"Nashville Women"



If it wasn't for the powder and the fine tooth comb
If it wasn't for the powder and the fine tooth comb
You know the Nashville women might as well stay home, yeah.

If the blues was booze I'd stay drunk all the time
If the blues was booze you know I'd stay drunk all the time
Hangin' round bars and takin' you off of my mind.

Going down the alley to see what I can find
Goin' down the Printer's Alley
Gonna look around and see what I can find
Let some Nashville woman
Take me home and blow my mind.

You long tall woman you sure don't have to talk
A long legged good lookin' thing you don't have to talk
I can tell that you're from Nashville
You do boogie, woogie, wiggle when you walk.

You long tall woman you sure don't have to talk
A long legged good lookin' thing you don't have to talk
I can tell that you're from Nashville
You do boogie, woogie, wiggle when you walk...

"Never Been To Spain"



Well, I've never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it.
They don't abuse it,
Can't refuse it,
Never gonna lose it.

Well, I've never been to England
But I kinda like the Beatles
I was headed for Las Vegas
I only made it out to Needles.
But can't you feel it,
You must believe it
'Cause it feels so good.

Well, I've never been to heaven
But I've been to Oklahoma
People tell me I was born there
Lord, I really don't remember.
In Oklahoma or Arizona
What does it matter.

Well, I've never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it.
They don't abuse it,
Can't refuse it,
Never gonna lose it...

"Never Could Toe The Mark"



I've always loved the ladies,
Ladies love the games
Seems the things they want the most is
They always want to change.

The only thing that changes
Is my mind
I never could toe the mark
And I never could walk the line.

Some things don't come easy
Others should be free
I'd gladly give my heart to you
But the rest belongs to me.

I don't mean to be
A waste of time
I never could toe the mark
And I never could walk the line.

I like Southern Comfort
It does a thing on me
Takes me home to a gentle touch
And wants what's left to me.

She's got her own space
And I got mine
She don't toe the mark
And I don't walk the line.

She's got her own space
And I got mine
She don't toe the mark
And I don't walk the line...
