Patrick Simmons / Tom Johnston

Down along the river
Where the big bulrushes grow
You find the old frog jumpin the water
He won't come up no more, babe
He won't come up no more, baby
He won't come up no more, woo
He won't come up no more, sugar mama
He won't come up no more

Smell that burnin' fire, baby
Burnin' in the sand
See that devil rise, mama
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, now
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, baby
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, woo
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, sugar mama
He sho' wanna take yo' hand,

Oh, harvest moon
Keep shinin' your light down on me
The Lord reach out his hand
My soul floats out to thee

I don't feel no pain
When they shot me down
Lay my body out, baby
They put me in the ground so cold
They put me in the ground, baby
They put me in the ground, woo
They put me in the ground, sugar mama
They put me in the ground

. . .


You don't know me but I'm your brother
I was raised here in this living hell
You don't know my kind in your world
Fairly soon, the time will tell

You, telling me the things
You're gonna do for me
I ain't blind and I don't like
What I think I see

(Taking it to the streets)
Taking it to the streets
(Taking it to the streets)
No more need for running
(Taking it to the streets)

Take this message to my brother
You will find him everywhere
Wherever people live together
Tied in poverty's despair

Oh, you, telling me the things
You're gonna do for me
I ain't blind and I don't like
What I think I see

(Taking it to the streets)
Taking it to the streets
(Taking it to the streets)
No more need for running
(Taking it to the streets)
Taking it to the streets
(Taking it to the)

Oh, you, telling me the things
You're gonna do for me
I ain't blind and I don't like
What I think I see

(Taking it to the streets)
Taking it to the streets
(Taking it to the streets)
No more need for running
(Taking it to the streets)
Yeah, yeah

(Taking it to the streets)
Taking it to the streets
(Taking it to the streets)
Before it steps farther
(Taking it to the streets)
Oh, lord

(Taking it to the streets)
Taking it, taking it
(Taking it to the streets)
Hey, yeah ha
(Taking it to the streets)
Taking it to the streets
(Taking it to the streets)
No more need for running
(Taking it to the streets)
No more need for hiding

(Taking it to the streets)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Taking it to the streets)
No more
(Taking it to the streets)
Yeah, yeah
(Taking it to the streets)
Taking it, taking it
(Taking it to the streets)

Jesus is just alright with me, Jesus is just alright, oh yeah
Jesus is just alright with me, Jesus is just alright

I don't care what they may say
I don't care what they may do
I don't care what they may say
Jesus is just alright, oh yeah
Jesus is just alright

Jesus is just alright with me, Jesus is just alright, oh yeah
Jesus is just alright with me, Jesus is just alright

I don't care what they may know
I don't care where they may go
I don't care what they may know
Jesus is just alright, oh yeah

Jesus, he's my friend; Jesus, he's my friend
He took me by the hand; Led me far from this land
Jesus, he's my friend

Jesus is just alright with me, Jesus is just alright, oh yeah
Jesus is just alright with me, Jesus is just alright

I don't care what they may say, I don't care what they may do
I don't care what they may say, Jesus is just alright, oh yeah

Hey, don't worry, I've been lied to
I've been here many times before
Girl, don't you worry, I know where I stand
I don't need this love, I don't need your hand
I know I could turn, blink, and you'd be gone
Then I must be prepared any time to carry on

But minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on

You will stay just to watch me, darlin'
Wilt away on lies from you
Can't stop the habit of livin' on the run
I take it all for granted like you're the only one
Livin' on my own
Somehow that sounds nice
You think I'm your fool
Well, you may just be right

'Cause minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on

Call my name and I'll be gone
You'll reach out and I won't be there
Just my luck you'll realize
You should spend your life with someone
You could spend your life with someone

Minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on...

. . .


John McFee / Nicolette Larson / Patrick Simmons

Everything comes to an end
Few have time to wait
Well my patience, Lord, is wearin' thin
The hour's gettin' late
The ladies come and go
Barely turn my head
But you make me feel
Like a change is coming

I've been wastin' time
I'm ready for you
I'm leavin' my past behind
I'm ready for you

Can't let it get away
It's gettin' closer
Can't let it get away
I'm feelin' better
Can't let it get away, oh no
Can't let it get away, can't let it get away

Oh it was worth the wait
But I won't wait no more
I never believed in fate now, baby
I've been wrong before
This time I'm really givin' it all
And I ain't got time to wait
You make me feel
Like a change is comin'

I've been wastin' time
I'm ready for you
I'm leavin' my past behind
I'm ready for you

Can't let it get away
It's gettin' closer
Can't let it get away
I'm feelin' better
Can't let it get away, oh no
Can't let it get away, can't let it get away

. . .


Don't you feel it growin', day by day
People gettin' ready for the news
Some are happy
Some are sad
Oh, we got to let the music play

What the people need is a way to make 'em smile
It ain't so hard to do if you know how
Gotta get a message
Get it on through
Oh now mama, don't you ask me why

Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
All the time

Well I know, you know better, everything I say
Meet me in the country for a day
We'll be happy
And we'll dance
Oh, we're gonna dance our blues away

And if I'm feelin' good to you and you're feelin' good to me
There ain't nothin' we can't do or say
Feelin' good
Feeling fine
Oh, baby, let the music play

Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
All the time

Like a lazy flowing river
Surrounding castles in the sky
And the crowd is growing bigger
Listening for the happy sounds
And I got to let them fly

Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
All the time

Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
All the time

Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
All the time

Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
All the time

Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
All the time

Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
Whoa-oh-whoa, listen to the music
All the time

I hear your voice everywhere
It's echoes of love
Making me look back over my shoulder
Echoes of love are started all over

Echoes of love
Keeps on haunting
I'm out of control
Keeps on burning
Echoes of love are out of control
Bringing back love I used to hold

Darlin', since you went away
Think about you every day
So many memories
About to get the best of me

Recalling the times
I used to hold you
I just wouldn't do
What I was supposed to
I've done things
I'd like to undo
Now darlin' it's you
I'd like to run to

Echoes of love
Keeps on haunting
I'm out of control
Keeps on burning
Echoes of love are out of control
Bringing back love I used to hold

Echoes of love
Echoes of love
Love, echoes of love
Keeps on haunting
Echoes of love, echoes of love
Keeps on burning
Echoes of love

He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate what had yet to be created

Once in her life she musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power
To reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all
Keeps sending him

Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
Someday, somewhere
She will return

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power
To reason away
What seems to be (If love can come and love can go, then why can't love return once more?)
Is always better than nothing (Fool's got the power)
And nothing at all (Oh, now)
What a fool believes (I believe she's never gone away)
He sees (Oh)
No wise man has the power (To reason away)
To reason away
What seems to be (Oh, if love can come and love can go, oh, mama)
Is always better than nothing (Better than nothing)
And nothing at all

Well, I built me a raft
And she's ready for floatin'
Ol' Mississippi, she's callin' my name
Catfish are jumpin'
That paddle wheel thumpin'
Black water keeps rollin' on past just the same

Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Yeah, keep on shinin' your light
Gonna make everything, pretty mama
Gonna make everything all right
And I ain't got no worries
'Cause I ain't in no hurry at all

Well, if it rains, I don't care
Don't make no difference to me
Just take that street car that's goin' up town
Yeah, I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland
And dance a honky tonk
And I'll be buyin' everybody drinks all 'round

Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Yeah, keep on shinin' your light
Gonna make everything, everything
Gonna make everything all right
And I ain't got no worries
'Cause I ain't in no hurry at all

I'd like to hear
Some funky Dixieland
Pretty mama, come and
Take me by the hand

By the hand (hand) take me
By the hand, pretty mama
Come and dance with
Your daddy all night long

I'd like to hear
Some funky Dixieland
Pretty mama, come and
Take me by the hand
(I want to honky tonk, honky tonk)
(with you all night long)

. . .


Why'd you tell me this
While you look for my reaction
What do you need to know
Don't you know I'll always be the one
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got lovin' eyes of my own

You belong to me
In this life
Anyone could tell
Any fool can see who you need
I know you all too well
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got lovin' eyes and I can tell

You belong to me
Tell him you were foolin'
You belong to me
You belong to me
Tell him he's a stranger
You belong to me

Up all night, I could not sleep
The whiskey that I drank was cheap
With shakin' hands I went and I lit up my last cigarette
Well the sun came, the night had fled
And sleepy-eyed I reached my bed
I saw you sleepy dreamin' there all covered and warm

South City midnight lady
I'm much obliged, indeed
You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need
I thought there was no reason
For all these things I do
But the smile that I sent out returned with you

When day has left the night behind
And shadows roll across my mind
I sometimes find myself alone, out walking the streets
Yes, and when I'm feeling down and blue
Then all I do is think of you
And all my foolish problems seem to fade away

South City midnight lady
I'm much obliged, indeed
You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need
I thought there was no reason
For all these things I do
But the smile that I sent out returned with you

South City midnight lady
I'm much obliged, indeed
You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need
I thought there was no reason
For all these things I do
Yeah, but the smile that I sent out returned with you

. . .


Autumn breeze blowin' to the east
Shift of breeze upon a sea of peace
Hear them call, can't you hear them sing
Hear them call, how their voices ring
Dizzy dancin', golden ladies
Misty eyes that cannot fool
Silver shoreline waves come crashin'
To the end of all of you

Like a spider weavin' silken nets
Fingers move, swaying silhouettes
Hear them call, can't you hear them sing
Hear them call, how their voices ring
Spinning, turning, moonlit madness
'Round the fire burnin' bright
I can see it risin' higher
Lightin' up the starry night

Hear them call, can't you hear them sing
Hear them call, how their voices ring
Hear them call, can't you hear them sing
Hear them call, how their voices ring

"Sonny Boy" Williamson

Goin' down to Rosie's
Stop at Fanny May's
Gonna tell Fanny what I heard her boyfriend say
Now don't you start me talkin'
I'll tell ev'rything I know
I'm gonna break up this signifyin'
'Cause somebody gotta go

Jack gave his wife two dollar
Go down to the market
Get out on the street, ol' George stopped her
He knocked her down
And blacked her eye
She get back home and tell her husband a lie
Now don't you start me talkin'
I'll tell ev'rything I know
I'm gonna break up this signifyin'
'Cause somebody gotta go

She borrowed some money
To go to the beauty shop
"I'm goin' to a place where I can get my hair sot"
Now don't you start me talkin'
I'll tell ev'rything I know
I'm gonna break up this signifyin'
'Cause somebody gotta go

. . .


Down around the corner
Half a mile from here
You see them long trains runnin'
And you watch 'em disappear

Without love
Where would you be now?
Without love

You know I saw Miss Lucy
Down along the tracks
She lost her home and her family
And she won't be coming back

Without love
Where would you be right now?
Without love

Well, the Illinois Central
And the Southern Central Freight
Got to keep on pushin', mama
'Cause you know they're runnin' late

Without love
Where would you be now-na-na-now?
Without love

Well, the Illinois Central
And the Southern Central Freight
Got to keep on pushin', mama
'Cause you know they're runnin' late

Without love
Where would you be now?
Without love

Well, pistons keep on churnin'
And the wheels go 'round and 'round
And the steel rails lie cold and hard
On the mountains they go down

Without love
Where would you be right now?
Without love
Ooh, where would you be now?

Mmm, got to get you, baby baby, won't you move it down?
Won't you move it down?
Baby, baby, baby, baby, won't you move it down?
When the big train run
When the train is movin' on
I got to keep on movin'
Keep on movin'
Won't you keep on movin'?
Gonna keep on movin'

. . .


When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town
Down around San Antone
And the folks are rising for another day
'Round about their homes
The people of the town are strange
And they're proud of where they came

Well, you're talking 'bout China Grove
Oh, China Grove

Well, the preacher and the teacher
Lord, they're a caution
They are the talk of the town
When the gossip gets to flyin'
And they ain't lyin'
When the sun goes fallin' down
They say that the father's insane
And dear Missus Perkin's a game

We're talkin' 'bout the China Grove
Oh, China Grove

But every day there's a new thing comin'
The ways of an oriental view
The sheriff and his buddies with their samurai swords
You can even hear the music at night
And though it's a part of the Lone Star State
People don't seem to care
They just keep on lookin' to the East

Talkin' 'bout the China Grove
Oh, China Grove
