Oooh! Never hit your Grandma with a shovel  
It makes a bad impression on her mind  
(On her mind)  
In a better way impart  
All the love things in your heart  
For it’s possible she may retort in kind  
(Retort in kind)  
Remember Granny’s known you since a baby  
And even though in fun, could prove a shock  
(Prove a shock)  
So respect her aged head,  
Stay the shovel and instead  
Paste your dear old, sweet old Grandma  
With a rock.

Feuding and fussing and a-fighting  
Sometimes it gets to be exciting  
Don’t like them ornery neighbors down by the creek  
We’ll be plumb out of neighbors next week

Grandma, poor old grandma  
Why’d they have to shoot poor grandma  
She lies 'neath the clover  
Someone caught her bending over  
Picking up a daisy

Feuding and fussing and a-fighting  
This is a wrong that needs a righting  
Let’s get that funeral service over  
So then we can start in a-feuding again

Daisy, give yourself away  
Look up at the rain  
The beautiful display  
Of power and surrender  
Giving us today  
And she gives herself away

Rain, another rainy day  
Comes up from the ocean  
Give herself away  
She comes down easy  
On rich and debt the same  
And she gives herself away

Hot sticky scenes you know what I mean  
Like a desert sun that burns my skin  
I’ve been waiting for her so long  
Open the sky (and let her come down)  
Here comes the rain I love the rain  
Here she comes again

Rain  
Rain  
Rain

Rain, feel it on my finger tips  
Hear it on my window pane  
Your love’s coming down like  
Rain, wash away my sorrow  
Take away my pain  
Your love’s coming down like rain

Rainy day, dream away  
Ah let the sun take a holiday  
Flowers bathe an’ ah see the children play  
Lay back and groove on a rainy day.

Be kind to your web footed friends,  
For that duck may be somebody’s mother  
She lives in a hole in a swamp  
Where the weather is always damp  
You may think that this is the end:  
Well it is, but to prove that we’re all liars  
We’re going to sing it again,  
But only this time we will sing a little higher

There does sit my father, the King  
a hey ho and me bonny o  
And yonder sits my mother the Queen  
The swans swim so bonny o  
And there does sit my brother Hugh  
a hey ho and me bonny o  
And by him William, sweet and true  
The swans swim so bonny o.

And there does sit my false sister Anne  
a hey ho and me bonny o  
Who drowned me for the sake of a man  
The swans swim so bonny o.

Down in the willow garden  
Where me and my love did meet  
As we sat a-courtin’  
My love fell off to sleep

I had a bottle of Burgundy wine  
My love, she did not know  
So I poisoned that dear little girl  
On the banks below

I drew a saber through her  
It was a bloody knife  
I threw her in the river  
Which was a dreadful sign

My father often told me  
That money would set me free  
If I would murder that dear little girl  
Whose name was Rose Connelly

And seven long years is your sentence  
You’re going to Van Diemen’s Land  
Far away from your friends and relations  
That follow the black velvet band

And honey all the movements you’re starting to make  
See me crumble and fall on my face  
And I know the mistakes that I made  
See it all disappear without a trace  
And they call as they beckon you on  
They say start as you mean to go on  
As you mean to go on, as you mean to go on

So meet me by the bridge, meet me by the lane  
When am I gonna see that pretty face again  
Meet me on the road, meet me where I said  
Blame it all upon  
A rush of blood to the head

A cowboy lay in it all covered with gore  
And he never will ride any broncos no more

Oh, pity the cowboy, all bloody and red  
For the bronco fell on him and bashed in his head

There was blood on the saddle and blood all around  
And a great big puddle of blood on the ground

As I walked down in the streets of Laredo  
As I walked down in Laredo one day,  
I spied a cowpuncher, all wrapped in white linen  
Wrapped up in white linen and cold as the clay.

“I see by your outfit, that you are a cowboy.”  
These words he did say as I slowly walked by.  
“Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story,  
For I’m shot in the chest, and today I must die.”

Start an escort service, for all the right reasons  
And set up shop at the top of four seasons  
Kid Rock and I’m the real McCoy  
And I’m headin’ out west sucker…because I wanna be a Cowboy baby

It was Della and a dealer and a dog named Jake,  
And a cat named Kalamazoo,  
Left the city in a pick-up truck.  
Gonna make some dreams come true.  
Yeah, they rolled out west where the wild sun sets,  
And the coyote bays at the moon.  
Della and a dealer and a dog named Jake,  
And a cat named Kalamazoo.

If that cat could talk, what tales he’d tell,  
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well.  
But the cat was cool,  
And he never said a mumblin’ word.

Tweeter and the monkey man were hard up for cash  
They stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash  
To an undercover cop who had a sister named jan  
For reasons unexplained she loved the monkey man

Tweeter was a boy scout before she went to vietnam  
And found out the hard way nobody gives a damn  
They knew that they found freedom just across the jersey line  
So they hopped into a stolen car took highway 99
