Gather round me people, got a song to sing
'Bout that sweet magnolia thyme Black-eyed Susan made some catfish stew And papa brought some homemade wine All the southern children like to rock'n roll The TV mamas tell you why They got it on the boat from Africa It's a dixie lullaby. Well, Blind Willie Time he had a dime shoe shine Stand down on Beale Street And Willie would stop and say say hello All the shoes he'd meet "Why are you so happy?" said the clean white buck "You got no reason to be happy Mr. Time" And Willie just smiled and Willie popped his rag And sang a dixie lullaby Now you heard the story of my southern home With a honeysuckle wine And any time you think that you might come yourself You ought to keep this thought in mind All you easy riders better watch your step If you're walkin' down below the line That Louisiana man is gonna get you yet With his dixie lullaby He's got a dixie lullaby Oh, it's a dixie lullaby |

Gonna tell you a story that you wont believe
But I fell in love last friday evenin With a girl I saw on a bar room t.v. screen Well I was just gettin ready to get my hat When she caught my eye and I put it back And I ordered myself a couple o more shots and beers The night that I fell in love with a roller derby queen Round and round, oh round and round The meanest hunk o woman That anybody ever seen Down in the arena She was five foot six and two fifteen A bleached-blonde mama With a streak of mean She knew how to knuckle And she knew how to scuffle and fight And the roller derby program said That she was built like a fridgerator with a head Her fans call her tuffy But all her buddies called her spike You know that I fell in love with a roller derby queen Round and round, oh round and round The meanest hunk o woman That anybody ever seen Down in the arena Round and round, go round and round Round and round, go round and round Round and round Well I could not help it But to fall in love With this heavy-duty woman I been speakin of Things looked kind of bad Until the day she skated into my life Well she might be nasty She might be fat But I never met a person Who would tell her that Shes my big blonde bomber My heavy handed hackensack mama You know that I fell in love with a roller derby queen Round and round, oh round and round The meanest hunk o woman That anybody ever seen Down in the arena Round and round, go round and round Round and round, go round and round Round and round |

Well it's such a strange world that I'm living in
She was my woman and she was my friend But I was wrong again. Such a strange changes that you put me through But like a fool I fell in love with you What can this poor boy do? Roll away the stone Don't leave me here alone Resurrect me and protect me Don't leave me laying here What will they do in two thousand years? It's such a strange time that we're passing through I thought you'd tell me when your time was due I guess you thought I knew Strange way to keep avoiding me Why did you lie how could I help but be Oh won't you help me be? |

Try and judge me only by my time and changes
And not mistaken words, for I say many Listen only to my song and watch my eyes There's not much time to spill, there's hardly any Well, look at all the children living in the streets And they're looking, not afraid to touch each other They're not afraid to be themselves or someone else ? Never treat a brother like a passing stranger Honey, won't you always try to keep the love light burning Sing a song of love and open up your heart For you might be the prince of peace returning Yeah, you might be the prince of peace returning Oh, the love the blind and wounded as that you would yourself And the businessmen in cells collecting pennies Judge their wealth by coins that they give away And not the ones that they keep for themselves for spending Oh, never be impatient with the ones who love you It might be yourself that you're burning Sing a song of love and open up your heart For you might be the prince of peace returning Never treat a brother like a passing stranger Honey, won't you always try to keep the love light burning Sing a song of love and open up your heart For you might be the prince of peace returning For you might be the prince of peace returning Oh, if I pay me, if I pay you If I pray to your Jesus then you gonna tell us what you're about to do? What if I pay me and I might pay you Who's got the money? Who's got the money? Who's got the money for, sing the song |

How many days has it been
Since I was born How many days until I die Do I know any ways That I can make you laugh Or do I only know how to make you cry When the baby looks around him It's such a sight to see He shares a simple secret With the wise man He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land Tell me why He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land How many miles will it take To see the sun And how many years until it's done Kiss my confusion away in the night Lay by side when the morning comes And the baby looks around him And shares his bed of hay With the burrow in the palace of the king He's a stranger in a strange land Tell me why He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land Well, I don't exactly know What's going on in the world today Don't know what there is to say About the way the people are treating Each other, not like brothers Leaders take us far away from ecology With mythology and astrology Has got some words to say About the way we live today Why can't we learn to love each other It's time to turn a new face To the whole world wide human race Stop the money chase Lay back, relax Get back on the human track Stop racing toward oblivion Oh, such a sad, sad state we're in And that's a thing Do you recognize the bells of truth When you hear them ring Won't you stop and listen To the children sing Won't you come on and sing it children He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land |

Well I'm going down, Going down a hard road
Just don't know, don't know where I've been But I think I've been walking, I'm walking round in circles Can't even find a friend Woah, my love, my love she's not waiting Think I might've been gone, I've been gone too long People make me crazy I can hardly sing my song Hustlers stand around me, I'm lost and all alone Can't tell the bad from the good I'm lost ins the woods, I'm lost in the woods Big city gamblers, gamblers take my money Yes it gets to be useless, yes it's useless to me And I think I'm lost, when I'm lost inside this jungle Can't see the forest for the tress Well pretty little woman come and get me Try me, try me one more time Yes and your sweet, your sweet understanding Cant' fix this broken heart of mine The vultures fly around, come and take me home Can't tell the bad from the good I'm out in the woods, I'm lost in the woods I'm a man gone crazy in the woods I'm wandering around the bush |
