When I done quit hollerin’ baby, I believe I’ll shake ‘em on down
Get my babe, won’t be late, You know by that I mean seconds late
Ah, must I holler, Must I shake ‘em on down,
Well I’ve been mistreated, babe, I believe I’ll shake ‘em on down.
Well I ain’t no monkey. I can’t climb no tree,
No [...]
Ah caught you smiling at me, That’s the way it should be,
Like a leaf is to a tree, so fine.
Ah all the good times we had, I sang love songs so glad
Always smiling, never sad, so fine.
[Chorus]
As we walk down the country lanes, I’ll be singing a song,
Hear me calling your name.
Hear the wind within [...]
I don’t know how I’m gonna tell you, I can’t play with you no more,
I don’t know how I’m gonna do what mama told me, My friend, the boy next door.
I can’t believe what people saying, You’re gonna let your hair hang down,
I’m satisfied to sit here working all day long, You’re in the darker [...]
Measuring a summer’s day, I only finds it slips away to grey,
The hours, they bring me pain.
[Chorus]
Tangerine, Tangerine, Living reflection from a dream;
I was her love, she was my queen, And now a thousand years between.
Thinking how it used to be, Does she still remember times like these?
To think of us again? And I do.
[Chorus]
Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,
Think I see my friends coming, Riding a many mile.
Friends, did you get some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my dear friends, To keep me from the Gallows Pole?
What did you bring me to keep me from the Gallows Pole?
I couldn’t get no silver, [...]
As I walk down the highway all I do is sing this song,
And a train that’s passin’ my way helps the rhythm move along.
There is no doubt about the words are clear,
The voice is strong, is oh so strong.
I’m just a simple guy, I live from day to day.
A ray of sunshine melts my frown [...]
Working from seven to eleven every night,
It really makes life a drag, I don’t think that’s right.
I’ve really, really been the best of fools, I did what I could.
‘Cause I love you, baby, How I love you, darling, How I love you, baby,
How I love you, girl, little girl.
But baby, Since I’ve Been Loving You. [...]
Her face is cracked from smiling, all the fears that she’s been hiding,
And it seems pretty soon everybody’s gonna know.
And her voice is sore from shouting, cheering winners who are losing,
And she worries if their days are few and soon they’ll have to go.
[Chorus]
My, my, my, I’m so happy, I’m gonna join the band,
We are [...]
Bright light almost blinding, black night still there shining,
I can’t stop, keep on climbing, looking for what I knew.
Had a friend, she once told me, “You got love, you ain’t lonely,”
Now she’s gone and left me only looking for what I knew.
Mmm, I’m telling you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now,
Is trade [...]
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.
Ah, ah,
We come [...]
