Strolling down the highway
I'm gonna to get there my way Dusk 'till dawn I'm walking Can you hear my guitar rockin'? While I stroll on down, on down the highway People think I'm a crazy But lord above ain't lazy The sun shines all day long The garlic's far too strong While I stroll on down, on down the highway While I stroll on down, on down the highway The cars won't stop for no one They'd all think your just a rollin' bum They think you are a spy Gonna shoot them as a they go by No, the cars they won't stop, won't stop for no one Strolling down the highway I'm gonna to get there my way Dusk 'till dawn I'm walking Can you hear my guitar rockin'? While I stroll on down, on down the highway |

Hey girl, oh how your love is strong
Weaves a tumble-in' tearless song Tho' you don't seem to care that you love is blind. You don't seem to care not realise. Hey girl, oh how my heart is torn, Hey girl, now that your baby's born, What shall it cost? Is my freedom lost? What is the price of nature's own way. Hey girl, how could I dress your child, When this life girl I'm livin' so wild? Will your newborn child grow to be as wild? And walk alone to meet his destiny? Hey girl, see how I stand a man, Hey girl, see I've no father's hand. Would it be a crime to leave at such a time, When you've many claims to make on me? |

I have no time to spend with you
You talk of nothing, what can you do You live like kings and you know it's true That if famine crossed the waters that'll be the end of you. I've heard of people who till the earth Who saw their seeds for all they're worth Who cry for rain all summer long And weep for the day when winter's passed and gone. If cherry trees bore fruit of gold The birds would die, their wings would fold They'd sing no more their song of love Nor await the morning sun that lights the sky above. If war returns like it did before A kiddy's penny would be no more They'd cry for love and their candy too But a kiddy's wants are nothing 'till killin' days are thru'. So drink your fill be happy now The times will change and you'll wonder how A man could die from lack of food But you don't give a damn, no reason why you should. |

When sadness fills your heart
And sorrow hides the longing to be free When things go wrong each day You fix your mind to a?scape your misery Your troubled young life Had made you turn To a needle of death How strange, your happy words Have ceased to bring a smile from everyone How tears have filled the eyes Of friends that you once had walked among Your troubled young life Had made you turn To a needle of death One grain of pure white snow Dissolved in blood spread quickly to your brain In peace your mind withdraws Your death so near your soul can't feel no pain Your troubled young life Had made you turn To a needle of death Your mother stands a'cryin' While to the earth your body's slowly cast Your father stands in silence Caressing every young dream of the past Your troubled young life Had made you turn To a needle of death Through ages, man's desires To free his mind, to release his very soul Has proved to all who live That death itself is freedom for evermore And your troubled young life Will make you turn To a needle of death |

Freedom fighters, speak with your tongues
Sing with the might of the wind In your lungs, do you hear me now? My mama told me, papa said it too "Son, the world's divided and you know Your cause is true", do you hear me now? Can you see those mushrooms seed and burst Spreading through our valleys breeding hunger Breeding thirst. Do you hear me now? Snowmen in the winter, blossoms in the spring If they drop the bomb in the summertime It don't mean a doggone thing Do you hear me now? Do you hear me now? Freedom fighters speak with your tongues Sing with the might of the wind In your lungs, do you hear me now? Do you hear me now? |

Ask me why a rambler aint got no home
Ask me why I sit and cry alone I wish I knew, I wish I knew If I knew, I'd know what to do Day in, day out seems I'm a-runnin' all on my own Day in, day out there is weakness a-growin' in my bones Wo, it aint no use, nah, it aint no use My mind is dead I got to turn my body loose Wish Mama you could hear the words that I cry wish Mama now at home I could die But my time is late, my time is late I'm on my own and Lord I've got it straight No girl I've loved has ever held me down No reason can I give for leaving this town My love is true now, my love is true But the road is long, I've got to see my journey through So Girl, don't deny the freedom that's born to me Girl don't deny that a rambler must always be free Someday you'll see now, Babe, someday you'll see That my ramblin's gonna be the death of me |

Runnin' runnin' from home,
Breakin' ties that you'd grown Catchin' dreams from the clouds The city sounds burn your soul Turn your head to the cries Of loneliness in the night Just like a fly when it's caught The spider soon takes it's prey Spins a dance round your heart Give me your beauty and age A pleasure pleasing my mind Your heart will shatter and fall Step on pavements so old Cast a glance at the young Girls a-making their way The passing image of you Reflects a pain to my heart And disappears in a crowd Runnin' runnin' from home Breakin' ties that you'd grown Catchin' dreams from the clouds |

Green are your eyes
In the morning, when you arise Don't you be afraid to lie By me, my love, Your father will not know. Love can be broken, Though no words are spoken, Don't you be afraid to lie By me, my love, Your father will not know. Love be bold, We're not so old, Don't you be afraid to lie By me, my love, Your father will not know. Love don't cry, I'll not try, Don't you be afraid to lie By me, my love, Your father will not know. Green are your eyes In the morning, when you rise Don't you be afraid to lie By me, my love Your father will be told someday About our wedding day(?) |

A troubled wind has chilled my heart
Killed our love right from the start And visions of your face Twist in my mind into knots of silken lace A chance to win a hand so fair Fades with night and a single prayer Then a straw hat on her head Brings morning dreams to alight upon my bed If dead men swam the waters deep Then fish would cry all in their sleep My love, I can only try To lift my hat from the depths as you walk by now banjos ring and fiddles play A candle burns to light my way and turning in my sleep I dream again of your love, your love to keep |
