Sing me a rainbow, shine me a dime
Drop in and see me, any old time, honey
And if you love me, tell me you do
Reason I'm asking is 'cause I love you, honey
Oh don't you know that I love you

When I was living, I felt so ashamed
Now I've been giving and feeling less pain
Sing me a rainbow, shine me a dime
Drop in and see me, any old time
And if you love me, tell me you do
Reason I'm asking is 'cause I love you, honey
Oh don't you know that I love you

Oh yes you are magic, I know that you are
'Cause I saw you riding last night on a star, honey
Sing me a rainbow, shine me a dime
Drop in and see me, any old time
And if you love me, tell me you do
Reason I'm asking is 'cause I love you, honey
Oh don't you know that I love you
Oh honey, don't you know that I love you

Torbert

California dream winding through the ocean shore
I walked a country mile along your rocky coast
On the sandy shores I ran until I could not run no more
Left it far behind in dreams of death

Something's calling me, oh honey, to the mystic sea
Something's calling me, oh honey, to your eyes I see

California day
I know that I can make it all the way
Just my love is where I'm going to

Something's calling me, oh honey, to the mystic sea, something, something
Something's calling me, oh, unto your eyes I see

California day
I know that I can make it all the way
Just my love is where I'm going to

CHORUS:
WHERE HAVE YOU GONE
WHERE CAN I FIND YOU

Dawson

Someday soon I'll come by
Riding from behind the hill
I'm gonna have a big white horse
Swear to god I will
Gonna have a big black hat
Gonna have my bedroll packed
I'm gonna come a riding up
And knock upon your door

Oh lady, it is such a lovely day
Oh lady, well I just dropped by to say
I'd like to take you with me, would you like to come?
When I go a-riding off into the setting sun

When we both were very small
I asked you would you leave it all
And come and ride away with me
And you said wait and see
Well now we’re farther down the line
And dreams should not be left behind
So now I'm asking you one more time
To ride away with me

Oh lady, it is such a lovely day
Oh lady, well I just dropped by to say
I'd like to take you with me, would you like to come?
When I go a-riding off into the setting sun
When I go a-riding off into the setting sun
When we go a-riding off into the setting sun

I don't need no doctor, because I know what's ailing me
I don't need no doctor, because I know what's ailing me, yes I do
I've been too long away from my baby
I'm coming down, I'm coming down with misery

I don't need no doctor, or prescriptions to be filled
(I don't need no doctor, I don't need no doctor)
I don't need no doctor, or prescriptions to be filled, no I don't
(I don't need no doctor, I don't need no doctor)
Only my baby's arms could take away these chills
Oh these chills

Well the doctor says I need rest
All I need is her tenderness
He put me on the critical list
When all I need is her sweet kiss
There can't be a medicated lotion
That can sooth, no no, my emotion

Well the doctor says I need rest
All I need is her tenderness
He put me on the critical list
When all I need is her sweet kiss
There can't be a medicated lotion
That can sooth, no no, my emotion

Well I don't need no doctor, because my will to live is gone
(I don't need no doctor, I don't need no doctor)
Well I don't need no doctor, because my will to live is gone
(I don't need no doctor, I don't need no doctor)
All I need is my baby
Baby please won't you come on home
Won't you come on home

I don't need no doctor, because I know what's ailing me
(I don't need no doctor, I don't need no doctor)
I've been too long away from my baby
(I don't need no doctor, I don't need no doctor)
I'm coming down, I'm coming down with misery
Coming down with misery

(I don't need no doctor, I don't need no doctor)
I don't need no doctor, I don't need no doctor
(I don't need no doctor, I don't need no doctor)
I don't need no doctor, I don't need no doctor

Been hangin' down, New Mexico
Santa Fe, up to Taos
And I'm riding hard
I ain't go no star on my shirt

South Wyoming, Cheyenne Town
Five thousand dollars, guess I'll hunt you down
I've been around
Gonna see your face in the ground

All day tracking I'm on your trail
Ain't no getting away from me, no
All night riding, I see your fire
Buddy ride

Hey Sam McCafty, show your face
But don't look back my buddy, show a trace
Because I don't care
I can smell your blood in the air

All day tracking I'm on your trail
Ain't no getting away from me, no
All night riding, I see your fire
Buddy ride

Been hangin' down, New Mexico
Santa Fe, up to Taos
And I'm riding hard
I ain't go no star on my shirt

Dawson

Tonight it's cold and the rain is falling
This city's cold and dark just like a tomb
A year ago I wished I had a million
But tonight I wish that I could leave this room

Chorus
But you know I'll come runnin' back to you
Anytime, anyplace, from anywhere
And if you should lose the way
Please don't hesitate to say
'Cause ya know i'll come runnin' back to you

When I left home I was so eager
It seemed like all the world was at my door
Now the spark is out and it's just raining
I haven't seen you in a year or more

[chorus]

Now if I had been working like I should have
By tonight I could've saved the fare
But Lord I've gone, yes, and drunk up every penny
And it's a thousand miles from here to there

[chorus]

Yes if you should lose the way
Please don't hesitate to say
'Cause ya know i'll come runnin' back to you

And I don’t know you

Come sit beside me

Well, the old man in the sky he knows what I'm saying

Believe we’ve been playing a game
‘Cause I don’t know you

We pulled into portland town

Rock and rolling for the crowd
Three more nights to go
But if I don't find someone tonight
I just won't make it through

And see what I can do
You know, it's very cold in portland town
This time of the year,
I wouldn't mind if I could find
Someone to hold me near
And there's a little girl,
She looks lost and lonely
Backstage at the show
I'm going up and asking her
Hey, would you like to go
You see I need me a portland woman
I don't want to be alone tonight
I want to get me a portland woman
Portland women treat you right
Portland's gonna be mine tonight
We pulled out of portland town
Almost right on time,
The little girl that I had found,
Her I left behind
But I haven't felt too good
Since I left portland yesterday
I'm going back to portland town,
Now what more can I say
I wanna get me a portland woman
I don't wanna be alone tonight
I wanna get me a portland woman
Portland women treat you right

Well the marshall came to town
And his hat was pulled way down
He looked like he had business on his mind
He didn’t stop to say
He just rode along his way
‘Til he stopped in at the office of the mine

Dirty business, dirty business
Dirty business down in coal creek

How they’re gonna shut it down
If the man don’t come and fix things
Pretty quick

Pretty soon there was a crowd
It was getting’ pretty loud
And the men all said there’d be no work today
But the owner wouldn’t budge
He just sat there like a judge
And he wouldn’t give a nickel more in pay
chorus:
Dirty business, dirty business
Dirty business down in coal creek

Just then they heard the sound
That rumbled from the ground

Fifteen miles apart

If you go down round the bend in the river
You’re gonna find a few changes
Been going down there
‘Cause the people who live
Round the bend in the river
Have forgotten their dreams
And they’ve cut off their hair
chorus:
And take a last, flying look
At the last lonely eagle
He’s soaring the length of the land
Shed a tear for the fate
Of the last lonely eagle
For you know that he never will land
If you go down where the lights
Push the nighttime
Back far enough so you can’t feel the fear
Remember the boy who you left on the mountain
Who’s sitting alone with the stars and his tears
chorus:
If you go down to the gas-powered flatland
Where most of the people just think
That they’re free
Remember the peace that you had
On the mountain
Come back to the love that you had here with me

Yeah, tonight I'll see my louisiana lady
My Louisiana lady's gonna
Sleep with me tonight, and hold me tight.
Louisiana lady know that I need you
Louisiana lady I love you
Louisiana lady I love you

South

Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cause
That's the side of town I was born in
I love her she loves me but I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks

Ev'ry night I watch the lights from the house up on the hill
I love a little girl who lives up there and I guess I always will
But I don't dare knock on her door
'Cause her daddy is my boss man
So I have to try to be content
Just to see her when ever I can

Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cause
That's the side of town I was born in
I love her she loves me but I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks

Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks

One fine day I'll find the way to move from this old shack
I'll hold my head up like a king and I never never will look back
Until that morning I'll work and slave
And I'll save ev'ry dime
But tonight she'll have to steal away
To see me one more time

Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cause
That's the side of town I was born in
I love her she loves me but I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks

Robertson

I pulled in to Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead
I just need some place where I can lay my head
'Hey mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed ?'
He just grinned and shook my hand, 'No' was all he said.

Take a load off, Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny and you put the load right on me.

I picked up my bag, I went looking for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walking side by side
I said 'Hey Carmen, come on, let's go downtown'
She said 'I gotta go but my friend can stick around'.

Take a load off, Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny and you put the load right on me.

Go down Miss Moses, there's nothing you can say
It's just old Luke and Luke's waiting on the judgement day
'Well, Luke my friend, what about young Anna-Lee ?'
He said 'Do me a favour son, won't you stay and keep Anna-Lee company ?'.

Take a load off, Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny and you put the load right on me.

Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
He said 'I will fix your rat if you'll take Jack my dog'
I said 'Wait a minute Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man'
He said 'That's OK boy, won't you feed him when you can ?'.

Yeah, take a load off, Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny and you put the load right on me.

Catch a cannonball now to take me down the line
My bag is sinking low and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.

Take a load off, Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny and you put the load right on me.

If you'll share the road with me I'll walk along with you
We can go anywhere you want, do whatever we want to do
We can run and laugh or hide and seek, stay awhile or fly and freak
It's all up to you.

If you'll share the air with you, I'll tell you what I see
Butterflies are in the skies and the leaves are on the tree
And Superman is flying by, he won't say how he gets that high
If you don't believe.

Then if you share your high with me, I'll give mine to you
And we can try on love for size, it grows from one to two
We can try some loving, honey, you and me, you know, loving, it can set us free
And we can share the world.

If you'll share the road with me, I'll walk along with you
We can go anywhere you want, do whatever you want to do
Run and laugh or hide and seek, stay awhile or fly and freak
It's all up to you.

> CHORUS
Panama Red, Panama Red,
He'll steal your woman then he'll rob your head.
Panama Red, Panama Red,
His white horse Mescalino, comes breezin' thru town.
Bet his woman's off in bed with ol' Panama Red.
You just don't know when Red's in town,
he keeps well hidden underground.
Everybody's gettin' crazy fallin' out 'n' hangin' round.
My woman said, ""Hey Pedro, you're actin' crazy like a clown.""
Nobody feels like workin' Panama Red is back in town.
CHORUS
Everybody's lookin' out for him cause they know Red satisfies.
Little girls love to listen to him sing & tell sweet lies.
But when things get confusin' honey, you're better off in bed.
Cause I'll be searchin' all the joints in town for Panama Red.
CHORUS 2x

Torbert

The door is there walk right in
We'll all join heads and look within
How 'bout a country melody
Mama cookin' somethin' to eat
How 'bout a rock and roll jamboree
You know it's alright with me
Our ways in life have brought us here
Ooh together now
If we want we take a look
We're gonna see how
How 'bout a country melody
Mama cookin' somethin' to eat
How 'bout a rock and roll jamboree
You know it's alright with me
A simple song a sing-a-long
Ooh-ooh yeah
If you want you sing along
Ooh-ooh yeah
How 'bout a country melody
Mama cookin' somethin' to eat
How 'bout a rock and roll jamboree
You know it's alright with me
You know it's alright with me
You know it's alright with me
You know it's alright with me
Ooh-ooh yeah
Ooh-ooh yeah

chorus:
I'm just a lonesome l.a. cowboy,
Hangin' out, hangin' on
To your window ledge, callin' your name
From midnight until dawn
I been smokin' dope, snortin' coke,
Tryin' to write a song
Forgettin' everything I know
‘Til the next line comes along
Forgettin' everything I know
‘Til the next line comes along
There’s so many pretty people in the city,
I swear some of them are girls
I meet'em down at barney's beanery
With their platform heels and spit curls
I buy'em drinks, we smoke our hopes
Try to make it one more night
But when I'm left all alone at last
I feel like I'll die from fright
repeat chorus:
Well, I know chris and rita, and marty mull
Are meeting at the troubadour
We'll get it on with the joy of cooking
While the crowd crys out for more
‘Round six o'clock this morning
I'll be gettin' kind of slow
When all the shows are over, honey,
Tell me, where do you think I go?
repeat chorus

Dawson

The wee small hours of the morning get bigger pretty fast
And the glow I felt at midnight, I thought that it would last
The sun is slowly rising now into my bloodshot eyes
But I'm never again, never again, gonna believe your lies and that's
One too many stories you've told
One too many turns out on the road
My love for you couldn't hold the load
'Cause that's one too many stories you've told
Now a friendly bottle of whiskey ain't as good as your embrace
But the bottle never told me any stories to my face
So you find me here just drinkin', but for now it's got to suffice
'Cause I'm never again, never again, gonna believe your lies and that's
One too many stories you've told
One too many turns out on the road
My love for you couldn't hold the load
'Cause that's one too many stories you've told
I said that's one too many stories you've told

Hunter

Do you think we can work it on out?
Change the whole proposition about?
I'm in no position for an act of sedition
But I really love to scream and shout
Half a loaf is better than a kick in the knee
Is there gonna be some tea
Or just more sympathy?
I really got a pumper on the line this time
It’s mine, mine, mine
I ran to the king of creation
I told him: save a bit for me
The way things look I could have written the book
You know I can hardly read
Sally does your dog bite? no, no, no
Keep him on a choke chain, reel him out slow
Got a little place, call it my own
It never really was a home
Went to the college of evil,
The smoke nearly drove me away
I'd go crazy if I wasn’t so lazy,
What more can I say?
The white-face lydian judge
Won’t you give a little one-two-three
Him down on the corner
Singing "little jack horner"
But you gotta let the gravy be
A whole loaf is better than a kick in the head
If you tell me what you mean
I'll tell you what I said
I sent you for jelly, you come back with jam
Who exactly do you think I am?

Allen-Sutton

Those heartaches now are on their way
What makes you want to be that way
You cheated on me and you lied
You've put teardrops in my eyes
Chorus:
I found out what they say is true
I hope someday that you'll be blue
And then you'll know dear why I try
With these teardrops in my eyes
The news is out all over town
That you've been seen out runnin' round
I turned my head and gossip flies
Cause it puts teardrops in my eyes
Chorus:
I found out what they say is true
I hope someday that you'll be blue
And then you'll know dear why I try
With these teardrops in my eyes
I never thought you'd let me down
But now at last I understand
You've wrecked my life and broke our vow
You'll have to pay for it somehow
Chorus:
I found out what they say is true
I hope someday that you'll be blue
And then you'll know dear why I try
With these teardrops in my eyes
With these teardrops in my eyes

Torbert

Sailing on the ocean leaving all confusion
Of who you are and what you want to be
Sailing up the green wall laughing as the wind blows
Singing, sliding down the other side
Working in the sun having good hard fun
When nighttime comes we'll rest and thank the day
We thank the day
Landing on an island I couldn't keep from smiling
The people there were friendly as can be
Livin' in an ocean of syncopated motion
Laughing, singing all our cares away
Working in the sun our days be spent in fun
When nighttime comes we'll rest and thank the day
We thank the day
When nighttime comes we'll rest and thank the day
We thank the day
Sailing on the ocean leaving all confusion
Of who you are and what you want to be
Sailing up the green wall laughing as the wind blows
Singing, sliding down the other side
Working in the sun our days be spent in fun
When nighttime comes we'll rest and thank the day
Thank the day

Dryden-Nelson

I live by the side of rolling oaks road
Tract 25 just like the man showed it to me
Nothin' to hide it, nothin' beside it
I really can't fight it, the whole place is blighted with
Cement, clay and glass
Trees away, contractor's pay
No delay, 10 units today
Of cement, clay and glass
Trees green, none to be seen
You cut down the hills but you pay higher bills
For your cement, clay and glass
Cement, clay and glass
I live by the side of rolling oaks road
Tract 25 just like the man showed it to me
There's nothin' to hide it, nothin' beside it
I really can't fight it, the whole place is blighted with
Cement, clay and glass
Cement, clay and glass

Dylan

You angel you, you've got me under your wing
The way you walk and the way you talk
I feel like I can almost sing.

You angel you, you're as fine as anything's fine
I just want to watch you talk
With your memory on my mind.

And oh, I can't sleep at night for trying
Yes, I never did feel this way before
Never did get up and walk the floor
If this is love then give me more and more, more, more.

You angel you, you're as fine as can be
The way you walk and the way you talk
Is the way it ought to be, now.

Oh and oh, I can't sleep at night for trying
I never did feel this way before
Never did get up and walk the floor
If this is love then give me more and more and more and more.

You angel you, well you, you've got me under your wing
The way you walk and the way you talk
I swear could make me sing.

Ah, you angel you, you've got me under your wing
The way you walk and the way you talk
I swear it'll make me sing
Said the way you walk and the way you talk
I swear it'll make me sing.
