Gray Beard Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Well, here I sit high, gettin' ideas Ain't nothing but a fool would live like this Out all night and runnin' wild Woman sittin' home with a month-old child Dang me, dang me They oughta take a rope and hang me High from the highest tree Woman, would you weep for me? Just sittin' around drinkin' with the rest of the guys Six rounds bought, and I bought five And I spent the groceries and half the rent Like fourteen dollars and twenty-seven cents Dang me, dang me They oughta take a rope and hang me High from the highest tree Woman, would you weep for me?

PastaJoe Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I've been run down and I've been lied to.And I don't know why, I let that mean woman make me a fool.She took all my money, wrecks my new car.Now she's with one of my good time buddies,They're drinkin in some cross-town bar. Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,Like I been tied to the whippin' post.Tied to the whippin' post, tied to the whippin' post.Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 In the bars, with the men who play guitarsSingin', drinkin' and rememberin' the timesMy little lover does a midnight shiftShe followed around all the time I guess there's just one thing left for me to doGonna pack my bags and move on my way'Cause I got a worried mind sharin' what I thought was mineGonna leave her where the guitars play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a styleAnd so I came to see him, to listen for a whileAnd there he was, this young boy, a stranger to my eyes Strumming my pain with his fingersSinging my life with his wordsKilling me softly with his songKilling me softly with his songTelling my whole life with his wordsKilling me softly with his song I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowdI felt he'd found my letters and read each one out loudI prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on Strumming my pain with his fingersSinging my life with his wordsKilling me softly with his songKilling me softly with his songTelling my whole life with his wordsKilling me softly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I'm looking for a hard headed woman one who will take me for myself and if I find my hard headed woman I won't need nobody else No, no, no I'm looking for a hard headed woman one who will make me do my best and if I find my hard headed woman I know the rest of my life will be blessed yes, yes, yes I know a lot of fancy dancers people who can glide you on a floor they move so smooth but have no answers, whoh When you ask them, "What d'you come here for?" "I don't know" "Why?" I know many fine feathered friends but their friendliness depends on how you do They know many sure fired ways to find out the one who pays and how you do. I'm looking for a hard headed woman one who will make me feel so good and if I find my hard headed woman wo, I know my life will be as it should yes yes yes. I'm looking for a hard headed woman one who will make me do my best and if I find my hard headed woman . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastaJoe Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 It's a late night show, on the radioGoin' down the road, with the wolf-manLightnin' bugs all around, moonlight shinin' downOn little sleepy towns, down in the flat-land I can still hear mama callingSon it's time to come on inAnd when the darkness started fallin'Everybody gathered 'round the table, amen. Mississippi Moon hanging in the hazeI wish I never left youSpent enough time in the old rat raceGoin' back down to the Delta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Blue moon you saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for Someone I really could care for And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will hold I heard somebody whisper "Please adore me" And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold! Blue moon! Now I'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 And all that you eatAnd everyone you meetAnd all that you slightAnd everyone you fightAnd all that is nowAnd all that is goneAnd all that's to comeAnd everything under the sun is in tuneBut the sun is eclipsed by the moon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I'm singing this note 'cause it fits in well With the chords I'm playing I can't pretend there's any meaning here Or in the things I'm saying But I'm in tune Right in tune I'm in tune And I'm gonna tune Right in on you Right in on you Right in on you I get a little tired of having to say "Do you come here often?" But when I look in your eyes and see the harmonies And the heartaches soften Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
