Well he’s not very handsome to look at
Oh he’s shaggy and he eats like a hog
And he’s always killin’ my chickens
That dirty old egg-suckin’ dog
She used to bring me my newspaper
'Cause she knew where it was at.
She used to keep me so contented.
But I can teach a dog to do that.
I’m gonna buy me a dog,
'Cause I need a friend now
I’m gonna buy me a dog,
My girl, my girl, don’t love me no how.
“Old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes;
God bless little children while they’re still too young to hate.”
When he moved away I found my pen and copied down that line
'Bout old dogs and children and watermelon wine.
What gentler eye, what nobler heart
Doth warm the winter’s day
Than the true blue eye and the oaken core
Of beloved Old Dog Tray?
Crazy Chester followed me,
And he caught me in the fog,
He said, " I’ll fix your rack, if you’ll take Jack my dog"
I said, " Wait a minute Chester, I’m a peaceful man"
He said " That’s okay, just feed him whenever you can"
Johnny is a joker
(He’s a bird)
A very funny joker
(He’s a bird)
But when he jokes my honey(He’s a dog)
His jokin’ ain’t so funny
(What a dog)
Johnny is a joker that’s tryin’ to steal my baby
(He’s a bird dog)
Johnny Angel, how I love him
He’s got something that I can’t resist
But he doesn’t even know that I-I-I exist
Just call me angel of the morning, angel,
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby…
Mine is the sunlight
Mine is the morning
Born of the one light Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise ev’ry morning
God’s recreation of the new day
n-a-gadda-da-vida, honey
Don’t you know that I’m loving you?
In-a-gadda-da-vida, baby
Don’t you know that I’ll always be true?
Oh, won’t you come with me
And a-take my hand?
Oh, won’t you come with me
And a-walk this land?
Please take my hand
She left me for Jesus, and that just isn’t fair,
She said he’s perfect,
I just can’t compare…
How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds
In a believer’s ear!
It soothes his sorrow, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear,
There’s balm in Giliad,
That heals the sin sick soul
Hey, kid, rock and roll
Rock on, ooh my soul
Hey, kids, you boogie, too, did ya?
Hey shout, summertime blues
Jump up and down in my blue suede shoes
Hey, did you rock and roll, rock on
Got what I got the hard way
And I make it better, each and every day
So honey, said don’t you fret
'Cause you ain’t seen nothing yet
I’m a soul man
I’m a soul man
I’m a soul man
I’m a soul man, oh
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet
Baby, you just ain’t seen n-n-nothin’ yet
Here’s something, here’s something
Here’s something that your never gonna forget, baby
Baby, baby, baby you ain’t seen n-n-nothin’ yet
You ain’t been around
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet
That’s what she told me
Monday, nothing
Tuesday, nothing
Wednesday and Thursday nothing
Friday, for a change
a little more nothing
Saturday once more nothing
Sunday nothing
Monday nothing
Tuesday and Wednesday nothing
Thursday, for a change
a little more nothing
Friday once more nothing
Train roll on, on down the line,
Won’t you please take me far away?
Now I feel the wind blow outside my door,
Means I’m leaving my woman behind.
Tuesday’s gone with the wind.
My baby’s gone with the wind.
Ashes of laughter,
The coast is clear,
Why do the best things always disappear?
Like, Ophelia, please darken my door…
Promises sweet promises
You kept them from your mind
Like all the lost forgotten things
You never seemed to find
Like all the disappointments
You displayed upon your shelf
Now you’ve got no one to turn to
You’ve got no-one but yourself
And you say
Why?
