Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do? Old girl you're through Sit there, count your little fingers Unhappy little girl blue Sit there and count the raindrops Falling on you It's time you knew All you can ever count on Are the raindrops That fall on little girl blue Won't you just sit there Count the little raindrops Falling on you 'Cause it's time you knew All you can ever count on Are the raindrops That fall on little girl blue No use old girl You might as well surrender 'Cause your hopes are getting slender and slender Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy To cheer up little girl blue |

Birds flying high you know how I feel Sun in the sky you know how I feel Reeds driftin on by you know how I feel (refrain:) Its a new dawn Its a new day Its a new life For me And Im feeling good Fish in the sea you know how I feel River running free you know how I feel Blossom in the tree you know how I feel (refrain) Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, dont you know Butterflies all havin fun you know what I mean Sleep in peace when day is done Thats what I mean And this old world is a new world And a bold world For me Stars when you shine you know how I feel Scent of the pine you know how I feel Oh freedom is mine And I know how I feel |

Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang Breaking rocks and serving my time Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang Because they done convicted me of crime Hold it steady right there while I hit it well reckon that ought to get it been working and working but I still got so terribly far to go I commited crime Lord I needed Crime of being hungry and poor I left the grocery store man bleeding (breathing?) When they caught me robbing his store Hold it steady right there while I hit it Well reckon that ought to get it been working and working but I still got so terribly far to go I heard the judge say five years On chain-gang you gonna go I heard the judge say five years labor I heard my old man scream "Lordy, no!" Hold it right there while I hit it well reckon that ought to get it been working and working but I still got so terribly far to go Gonna see my sweet honey bee Gonna break this chain off to run Gonna lay down somewhere shady Lord I sure am hot in the sun Hold it right there while I hit it well reckon that ought to get it been workin' and workin' been workin' and slavin' an' workin' and workin' but I still got so terribly far to go |

It's not 'cause I wouldn't,
It's not 'cause I shouldn't, And, you know though well, it's not 'cause I couldn't, It's simply because I'm the laziest gal in town. My poor heart is achin' To bring home the bacon, And if I find myself alone and forsaken, It's simply because I'm the laziest gal in town. Though I'm more than willing to learn How these gals get so much extra money to burn, Every little proposition I just turn it down, 'Way down, It's not 'cause I wouldn't, It's not 'cause I shouldn't, honey, And, you know, that it's not 'cause I couldn't, It's simply because I'm the laziest, laziest gal in town. |

Though some may reach for the stars
Others will end behind bars What the future has in store no one ever knows before Yet we would all like the right to find the key to success That elusive ray of light that will lead to happiness Tomorrow is my turn No more doubts no more fears Tomorrow is my turn When my luck is returning All these years I've been learning to save fingers from burning Tomorrow is my turn No more doubts no more fears Tomorrow is my turn to receive without giving Make life worth living Now it's my life I'm living My only concern for tomorrow is my turn Now the summer is gone, there's another to come You can't stop years from drifting by even if you want to try Though time may help you forget all that has happened before But honey it's too late to regret what is gone will be no more Tomorrow is my turn When my luck is returning All these years I've been learning to save fingers from burning Tomorrow is my turn No more doubts no more fears Tomorrow is my turn to receive without giving Make life worth living Now it's my life I'm living My only concern for tomorrow is my turn |

(Jimmie Cox)
Well once I lived the life of a millionaire Spending my money, I didn't care Takin' my friends out for a mighty good time Buyin' boot leg liquor, champagne and wine Then I began to fall so low Couldn't find me no friends Had no place to go If I ever get my hands on a dollar again I'm gonna hold on to it, till the eagle grins I said nobody knows you When you're down and out In your pocket, you ain't got one penny And your friends, you didn't have any Just as soon as you get up on your feet again Here they all come, they say that they're your long-lost friend Oh lord without a doubt Nobody wants you Nobody needs you Nobody wants you When you're down and out I say Nobody wants you Nobody needs you Nobody wants you when you're down and out |

You ain't never been blue, no, no, no
You ain't never been blue Till you've had that mood indigo That feeling goes stealing right down to my shoes While I just sit here and sigh Go along blues I always get that mood indigo Since my baby said goodbye And in the evening when the lights are low I'm so lonely I could cry For there's nobody who cares about me I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be When I get that mood indigo I could lay me down and die You ain't been blue, no, no, no You ain't never been blue Till you've had that mood indigo That feeling goes stealing right down to my shoes While I just sit here and sigh Go along blues |

I'm not ready To quit bein' free And I'm not willing To stop being me I've gotta sing my song Why should I belong To some guy who says That I'm wrong? Doo doo dooo De doo de doo De-doo de-doo Doo doo doo Dooo Cookin' dinner Lookin' no thinner Gray elbows and A sudsy sea Marriage is for old folks Cold folks, And it's not for me! One husband One wife Whaddya got? Two people sentenced for life! I'm exploding With youth and with zest Who needs corroding In some vulture's nest?

I'm going back home where I was born First I planned to stay but I can't live this way I'm going back home where I was born Try to understand I think this city's grand But with all its charme give me the little country farm I'm going back home where I was born Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah now oh yeah I tell you all about it I think you ought to know Tell you all about it why I wanna go I miss the country preacher and the house of prayer I miss the bootlegger smelling in the air Miss friendly faces and the country smiles The crickets singing you can hear it for miles Miss the rooster crowing at the break of dawn Yes it all happens where I was born Miss the fried chicken colored greens Miss the hot biscuits and the lima beans Miss the prayer meeting where the people pray With the drum beating till the break of day You can have it you can have it You can have it you can have it You can have thy town I won't be around This here life's too fast but 'll never never last I'm going back home where I was born I got to go home got to go home Where the people are real people can feel Got to go down got to go down Leave here today on my way so long so long Going back home going back home Got to go home got to go home Got to go home got to go home Where I where I was born |
