When Captain America throws his mighty shield,  
All those who chose to oppose his shield must yield.  
If he’s led to a fight and a duel is due,  
Then the red and white and the blue’ll come through  
When Captain America throws his mighty shield.

Song sung blue, weeping like a willow  
Song sung blue, teardrops on my pillow

Oh the first line of the blues is always sung a second time (oh yeah?)  
First line of the blues is always sung a second time (kinda smooth!)  
So by the time you get to the third line you’ve had time to think up a rhyme.  
Oh there ain’t no law that says the third line has to be different at all.  
No, no, there ain’t no law that says the third line has to be different at all.  
No there ain’t no law that says the third line has to be different at all.  
Never borrow a mouth organ - not even from your best friend.  
No, no, no, never borrow a mouth organ - not even from your best friend.  
'Cos you may survive the blowing, but the sucking’s gonna get you in the end. Oh yeah!

Just stare into space  
Picture my face in your hands  
Live for each second without hesitation  
And never forget I’m your man

Wait on me girl  
Cry in the night if it helps  
But more than ever I simply love you  
More than I love life itself

And I guess that’s why they call it the blues  
Time on my hands could be time spent with you  
Laughing like children, living like lovers  
Rolling like thunder under the covers  
And I guess that’s why they call it the blues

I got a feelin’ called the blues, oh, Lord,  
Since my baby said goodbye.  
Lord, I don’t know what I’ll do;  
All I do is sit and sigh, oh, Lord.

That last long day she said goodbye,  
Well, Lord, I thought I would cry.  
She’ll do me, she’ll do you, she’s got that kind of lovin’.  
Lord, I love to hear her when she calls me sweet daddy.

Such a beautiful dream.  
I hate to think it’s all over, I’ve lost my heart it seems.  
I’ve grown so used to you somehow.  
Well, I’m nobody’s sugar daddy now  
And I’m lonesome, I got the lovesick blues.

Love, oh love, oh careless love,  
You’ve fly though my head like wine  
You’ve wrecked the life  
Of many a poor girl  
And you nearly spoiled this life of mine

Love, oh love, oh careless love,  
In your clutches of desire  
You’ve made me break a many true vow  
Then you set my very soul on fire

I fell into a burning ring of fire,  
I went down, down, down as the flames went higher  
And it burns, burns, burns,  
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.

The taste of love is sweet  
When hearts like ours meet.  
I fell for you like a child,  
Oh, but the fire went wild.

There’s been a hoot-owl howling by my window now

And you look fine, fine, fine  
Put your feet up next to mine  
We can watch that water line  
Get higher and higher  
Say, say, say  
Ain’t it been some kind of day  
You and me been catchin’ on  
Like a wildfire

I’m shufflin’ thru the Texas sand,

I’m shufflin’ thru the Texas sand,

The blues has got a hold of me.  
I believe I’m gettin’ dizzy.  
[Spoken:] Help me now.

First time that I saw You girl, I knew that I just had to make You mine  
But it’s so hard to talk to You with fellows hangin’ round You all the time  
I want You for my sweet pet, but You keep playing hard to get  
I’m going round in circles all the time

Dizzy, I’m so dizzy my head is spinning  
Like a whirlpool it never ends  
And it’s You girl makin’ it spin  
You’re making me dizzy

On a day like this, a hundred lifetimes ago  
You on a shore, across the point  
I looked through my hands and you drew me your mind  
[When you were mine](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Uw2iHUeCyQ)  
When you were mine  
When you were mine  
When you were mine

On a world like this, a hundred turns left to go  
Deep in a room, which I’ve never seen  
Outside it’s so cold but I’m waiting for time  
When you were mine  
When you were mine  
When you were mine  
When you were mine

The radiator’s hissing, still I need your kissing  
To keep me from freezing each night  
I got a hot water bottle, but nothing I got’ll  
Take the place of you holding me tight

Do you remember, baby, last September  
How you held me tight each and every night?  
Well whoopsy-daisy, how you drove me crazy -  
But I guess it doesn’t matter any more

There’s no use in me a-cryin’.  
I’ve done everything  
And now I’m sick of trying.  
I’ve thrown away my nights,  
Wasted all my days over you.

You go your way, and I’ll go mine  
Now and forever 'till the end of time.  
I’ll find somebody new and. baby,  
We’ll say we’re through  
And you won’t matter any more.

Ba de ya, say do you remember

Try to remember the kind of September  
When life was slow and oh, so mellow  
Try to remember the kind of September  
When grass was green and grain was yellow  
Try to remember the kind of September  
When you were young and callow fellow  
Try to remember and if you remember  
Then follow, follow

Try to remember when life was so tender  
When noone wept except the willow  
Try to remember when life was so tender  
And dreams were kept beside your pillow  
Try to remember when life was so tender  
When love was an ember about to billow  
Try to remember and if you remember  
Then follow, follow

I remember to this day  
The bright red Georgia clay,  
And how it stuck to the tires  
After the summer rain.  
Will power made that old car go.  
A woman’s mind told me that so.  
Oh, how I wish  
We were back on the road again.

Me and you and a dog named Boo  
Travellin’ and livin’ off the land.  
Me and you and a dog named Boo -  
How I love being a free man.

Tell your Daddy and your Mama too. You got something better to do.  
Stick around the house the rest of your life. Your eighteen you can  
Do what you like. you’ll be the queen of my highway, my motorcycle mama.  
Well see the world through my Harley.

Well get matching jackets and helmets too. Well get respect from  
The towns we ride through. Well sleep at the roadside in the soft  
Green grass and if the squares walk by well let them pass. you’ll  
Be the queen of my highway, my motorcycle mama. Well see the world  
Through my Harley.

And maybe in a year or two, well have a little one, shell look just  
Like you. Well add on a sidecar, electric guitar. Well be a trio,  
The baby makes three, oh.

Baby, baby, don’t get hooked on me  
Baby, baby, don’t get hooked on me  
'cause I’ll just use you then I’ll set you free  
Baby, baby, don’t get hooked on me

Girl, you’re a hot-blooded woman-child  
And it’s warm where you’re touchin’ me  
But I can tell by your tremblin’ smile  
You’re seein’ way too much in me  
Girl, don’t let your life get tangled up with mine  
‘cause I’ll just leave you, I can’t take no clingin’ vine
