Crazy Arms

Now blue ain't the world for the way that I feel
There's a storm brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
And my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time
So take these treasured dreams I have for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
Someday these crazy arms will hold somebody new
but now I'm so lonely all the time
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
And my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time

Jole Blon you pretty baby
Look what you done to your papa
You left me here all alone to go and love another
Oh, there come a day
Jole Blon you know I love you
And that I adore you
But you left me here and all alone
Oh, you pretty blonde
Oh hey hey
Ay, ha ha
What you done to me, you know you'll be sorry
Oh, Jole Blon

Nickels & Dimes
04:46

Nickels and dimes, blood from a stone
Bleeding my dry, never leave me alone
They're picking all my pockets, one at a time
Robbing me blind by the nickel and dime
They hit me coming and going, I even rent my home
There ain't a dollar I spend, that I can call my own
And that clock keeps on running, and it ain't running slow
Every time those hands come around, they want a little bit more
Being down on the bottom is taking all my time
And I feel like I'm getting nickeled and dimed
It's right on the money, In God We Trust
Day to day, and dust to dust
The root of all evil got that old eagle grinning
She bought the law and the law keeps on winning
But if time is money, I wanna buy me some time
Cause I feel like I'm getting nickeled and dimed
Nickels and dimes, blood from a stone
Bleeding my dry, never leave me alone
They're picking all my pockets, one at a time
Robbing me blind by the nickel and dime

Sweet Celeny
Let me take you to the country fields
You can put your hands on my eyes
And whisper all your sweetest lies
And we can roll to the river’s tide
And let our love be blind
Sweet Celeny,
Let me take you to the country fields
Sweet Celeny
You’re a native city girl
You been too long in the noise
Wasting time on those city boys
And if I offered you the choice
Would you come away with me
Sweet Celeny,
To my native country world
Sweet Celeny,
Let me cook you a country meal
With clove and mint and thyme
And fruit picked ripe from the vine
And a bottle of homemade wine
We can drink by the moon
Sweet celeny,
Won’t you try my country food
Sweet Celeny,
I got nothing else on my mind
But a garden without gates
And a free and empty day
We can take our own way
And at our own pace
Sweet Celeny
I got nothing else on my mind

Easy On Me
05:09
|

I haven’t done you wrong
And I’m not on trial
I’m not hiding behind any plausible denial
I don’t need any hard times
I don’t need it from you
I got enough of my own, I been living it through and through
So I’m gonna go easy on me that’s what I’m gonna do
I’ve been shooting you straight
And my conscience is clear
I’ve been trying to tell you everything that you need to hear
If you don’t want to listen
If that’s not your style
Well, there's no use in getting all worked up and riled
I’m just gonna go easy on me for a little while
We’ve been punching our shadows
We’ve been chasing our tails
I believe it’s a miracle that we’re barely on the rails
Not in the mood for a ruckus
Or getting torn and frayed
Let’s have a good long rain on the whole parade
And I’ll go easy on me and take a day in the shade
I think I’ve earned it
I think I’ve paid my dues
No sense in bringing around any kind of blues
You can’t push the river
You can’t rush the rain
These days I’m gonna do whatever seems least insane
And I’m gonna go easy on me in my own way

Honey Can I Count On You

Honey can I count on you
Will you be here when I am to
Can you live out of your own true will
And honey can I count on you
Can you feel like you need to
Can you lay down in the pouring rain
Can you be knocked down by a blind side wind
And get back on your feet again
Can you move like you want to
Can you take it before it’s gone
Can you leave when the air gets still
And not just hang around
Honey can I count on you
Will you be here when I am to
Can you live out of your own true will
And honey can I count on you
Can I count on you to be lonesome
Even when I’m near
Will you talk with your words wide open
Even what I don’t wanna hear
Honey can I count on you
Will you be here when I am to
Can you live out of your own true will
And honey can I count on you

Rattlesnake Suzie
She was the princess of the pantomime
She used to hunt down on the ground rattlesnake skins
Just to hang em all in a line
She got so used to rattlesnake skins
She never paid em no mind
Til one day she picked up a rattlesnake skin
With a real live rattler inside
She cam running
Poor Children
She came running
Back to the yard
She came running
Poor children
She came running
Back to the Lord
Pioneer Peter
He couldn’t wait to cross the great divide
He put a foot out, stepped out, the middle of the night
Didn’t even wait to say goodbye
He stepped so swift across the green plain
There was nothing that could break his stride
Til he got hit by the hundred year rain
On the banks of the river so wide
And he came running
Poor Children
He came running back to the yard
He came running
Poor children
He came running back to the Lord
