I went in for rabbits and I kept them in a hutch. I only bought two rabbits, it didn’t seem like much. Next morning when I looked at them how they had multiplied. A thousand rabbits jumped right out and all the neighbors cried: Shut the door, they’re coming through the window, Shut the window, they’re coming through the door, Shut the door, they’re coming through the window, Oh the room is full and won’t hold anymore. ---

Turn off your mind relax and float down stream It is not dying, it is not dying Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void, It is shining, it is shining. Yet you may see the meaning of within It is being, it is being Love is all and love is everyone It is knowing, it is knowing And ignorance and hate mourn the dead It is believing, it is believing But listen to the colour of your dreams It is not leaving, it is not leaving So play the game “Existence” to the end Of the beginning, of the beginning ---

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dreams. I am a traveller of both time and space, to be where I have been. Sit with elders of a gentle race this world has seldom seen, Talk of days for which they sit and wait, all will be revealed. ---

I am just a lonesome trav’ler, Through this big, wide world of sin; Want to join that grand procession, When the saints go marching in. Oh, when the saints go marching in, Oh, when the saints go marching in; Lord, I want to be in that number, When the saints go marching in. ---

Nighttime on The City of New Orleans, Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee. Half way home, we’ll be there by morning Through the Mississippi darkness Rolling down to the sea. And all the towns and people seem To fade into a bad dream And the steel rails still ain’t heard the news. The conductor sings his song again, The passengers will please refrain This train’s got the disappearing railroad blues. Good night, America, how are you? Don’t you know me I’m your native son, I’m the train they call The City of New Orleans, I’ll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done. ---

In 1814 we took a little trip Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip. We took a little bacon and we took a little beans And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans. ---

There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy. And God, I know, I’m one.
