You got no money and you, you got no home
Spinning wheel, all alone
Talkin’ 'bout your troubles and you, you never learn
Ride a painted pony, let the spinning wheel turn
Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen
Nobody knows but Jesus
Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen
Glory, Hallelujah
Sometimes I’m up
And sometimes I’m down
Yes, Lord, you know sometimes I’m almost to the ground
Oh, yes, Lord, still
Echoes in rain
Drifting in waves
Long journey home
Never too late
Black as a crow
Night comes again
Everything flows
Here comes another new day
Alleluia, alle-alle alleluia
Here comes a new dawn, here comes a new day
Tune up, start to play, just like any other day.
Can’t stop, can’t be late, mustn’t make the people wait.
Can’t stop to comb my hair or even change my underwear.
I was a lonely soul
I had nobody till I met you
But you keep-a me waiting
All of the time
What can I do?
All this time
The river flows
Endlessly
To the sea
His blood has frozen & curdled with fright
His knees have trembled & given way in the night
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
His step has faltered
One world, one soul
Time pass, the river rolls
The river was dark and muddy
And the moon was on the rise
And all of the creatures in the swampland
Had woke up to feed for the night
Down in Louisiana
Where the alligators grow so mean
Lived a girl that I swear to the world
Made the alligators look tame
Wish I was back on the Bayou.
Rollin’ with some Cajun Queen.
Wishin’ I were a fast freight train,
Just a chooglin’ on down to New Orleans.
Oh, I wish I was in the land of cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten.
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land!
In Dixie’s Land, where I was born in,
early on one frosty mornin’.
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land!
It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day
I was out choppin’ cotton and my brother was balin’ hay
And at dinner time we stopped and we walked back to the house to eat
And mama hollered at the back door “y’all remember to wipe your feet”
And then she said she got some news this mornin’ from Choctaw Ridge
Today Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don’t go around breaking young girls’ hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth
I must have been through about a million girls
I’d love 'em and I’d leave them alone
I didn’t care how much they cried, no sir
Their tears left me cold as a stone
Searching in the darkness, fading out of sight
Love was here and gone like a thief in the night
Stone cold…and I thought I knew you so well
Stone cold…I can’t break away from your spell
You leave me stone cold
Like songs, our warmth fades away
Turns into coldness
Like the words that we say, today
And as the city glows, electric people nobody knows
Electric dreams, nobody shows
When you touch my skin, the feeling is electric
Oh, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
Ho, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I’m so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light
This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine,
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now there’s a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
