Ah now said I love a girl and-a Ruby is her name
This girl don’t love me but I love 'er just the same
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, Ruby, Ruby, I’m-a want ya
Like a ghost I’m-a gonna haunt ya
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby will you be mine, sometime?
They say, Ruby you’re like a dream
Not always what you seem
And though my heart may break when I awake
Let it be so
I only know, Ruby, it’s you
Shall we go to the Diamond Field tonight
Tightrope walkin’, in the web of light
Electric angles move against the night
Shining in the Diamond Field
I’m up on the tightrope, one sides hate and one is hope
It’s a circus game with you and me.
I’m up on the tightwire , linked by life and the funeral pyre
But the top-hat on my head is all you see.
Would you like to swing on a star,
Carry moonbeams home in a jar…
We falter at the sight
We stumble in the mire
Fools who think they see the light
Prepare to balance on the wire
But we learn to watch together
And feed on what we see above
Until our heart turn like the seaons
And we are acrobats of love
We had joy, we had fun,
We had seasons in the sun,
But the hills that we climbed,
Were just seasons out of time.
Well you can tell the world about this
You can tell the nation about that
Tell 'em what the master has done
Tell 'em that the gospel has come
Tell 'em that the victory’s been won
He brought joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy,
Into my heart
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee,
Op’ning to the sun above.
That’s the sun, Son, shining on the water
It’s not Cairo, New York or Rome
And just a matter of hours before you see your mama
Waiting for you back at home
(“oldies” lyrics??! What??!)
Don’t let the sun go down on your anger
Wasted days,
And wasted nights…
Don’t cry
Don’t raise your eye
It’s only teenage wasteland
Maybe I’m just like my father too bold
Maybe you’re just like my mother
She’s never satisfied (She’s never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
Mother, do you think they’ll drop the bomb?
Mother, do you think they’ll like this song?
Mother, do you think they’ll try to break my balls?
Ooh, aah, mother, should I build the wall?
Mama, just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger, now he’s dead.
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away.
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole.
No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading, I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
Mama he’s crazy,
Crazy over me…
Yeah, Mama don’t allow no guitar playing 'round here,
Yeah, Mama don’t allow no guitar playing 'round here,
I don’t care what mama don’t allow,
I’ll play my guitar anyhow,
Mama don’t allow no guitar playing 'round here.
I can’t see you mama
But I can hardly wait
Ooh to touch and to feel you mama
Oh I just can’t keep away
In the heat and the steam of the city
Oh its got me running and I just can’t brake
So say you’ll help me mama
Cos its getting so hard, oh
