They called him Irving
Big Irving
Big, short Irving
Big, short, fat Irving
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West
Janie’s got a gun
Her whole world’s come undone
From lookin’ straight at the sun
So don’t delay act now supplies are running out
Allow if you’re still alive six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow there may be a tomorrow
But if the offer’s shunned you might as well be walkin’ on the sun
When I’m stuck in a day, that’s gray and lonely
I just stick out my chin and grin and say
The sun’ll come out, tomorrow
So you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow
Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine,
I’ll taste your strawberries, I’ll drink your sweet wine.
A million tomorrows shall all pass away, 'ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today.
Drunk all the time
Feeling fine on elderberry wine
Those were the days
We’d lay in the haze
Forget depressive times
But look around
The leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray
I’ve been for a walk
On a winter’s day
Red skies at night, red skies at night
Whoa oh, oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Red skies at night, red skies at night
Whoa oh, oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight
My motto’s always been; when it’s right, it’s right
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night
A rainy night in Georgia, a rainy night in Georgia
It seems like it’s rainin’ all over the world
I feel like it’s rainin’ all over the world
I’m at sea again
And now your hurricanes
Have brought down
This ocean rain
To bathe me again
Splish splash, I was taking a bath
Long about Saturday night
A rub a dub, just relaxing in the tub
Thinking everything was alright
Chumpin’ slick was my ruin
‘Cause, I found out all I was doin’
Was making it easy for the clean up woman
To get my man’s love, oh yeah
Just making it easy for the clean up woman
To get my baby’s love, uh-huh, um-hum
Ooh baby love, my baby love
I need you, oh how I need you
But all you do is treat me bad
Break my heart and leave me sad
Tell me, what did I do wrong
To make you stay away so long
You are my friend, so sad this had to end
Some broken things don’t mend
They lie where they fall
You say the knife is twisted in your back
You don’t remember that it wasn’t mine
Wish you would see me one time and love me like I love you
You take what you need and I take whatever you want me to
I’m just your fool but I love you
And if I’m a fool then that’s what I’ll be
You got to stop hurting me
When you’re sure you’ve had enough of this life, well hang on
Don’t let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes
Every night I cry,
every night I sigh,
every night I wonder why
you treat me cold,
yet you won’t let me go.
You’re as cold as ice
You’re willing to sacrifice our love
You want Paradise
But someday you’ll pay the price I know
