Bill, I love you so, I always will
I look at you and see the passion eyes of May
Oh, but am I ever gonna see my wedding day
I was on your side Bill when you were loosin'
I never scheme or lie Bill, there's been no foolin'
But kisses and love won't carry me till you marry me Bill

I love you so, I always will
And in your voice I hear a choir of carousels
Oh, but am I ever gonna hear my wedding bells
I was the one who came runnin' when you were lonely
I haven't lived one day not lovin' you only
But kisses and love won't carry me til you marry me Bill

I love you so, I always will
And though devotion rules my heart I take no bows
But Bill you're never gonna take those wedding vows
Oh, come on Bill
Oh, come on Bill
Come on and marry me Bill
I got the wedding bell blues
Please marry me Bill
I got the wedding bell blues
Marry me Bill

Billy's blue
With his head hangin' to
His shoes
Right the wrong
Or play a song
To ease billy's blues
Billy's down
He was born he was bound
To lose
Right the wrong
Or play a song
To ease billy's blues

Some folks have it good
And some folks have it no good
But billy's go it bad
He's so endlessly sad

Billy's blues
With his head hangin' to
His shoes
Somebody please right the wrong
Or play a song
To ease Billy's blues
To ease Billy's blues

California sunshine boys, counting up their dimes,
counting up the girls they창?р??ve known and counting up the times.
I got heartache but I got news, California sunshine boys, you can shine my shoes.
California sunshine boys never really care, only for that California shoeshine in their hair.
I got heartache, I got heartache, I got miles of heartache, I got heartache, I got heartache,
but I got news, California sunshine boys, yeah.
California sunshine boys, rapping ten feet tall.
John can make sweet Cindy cry but Joe can make her crawl.
I got heartache but I got news, California sunshine boys, you can shine my shoes.
California sunshine boys, California sunshine boys, California sunshine boys창???br>

You ole fire
I'm mad with desire
You're my favorite one
Got me cookin' like a fever
Got my love runnin' for the sun
I feel so high
I feel like I may
Go blowin' away
My well meaner
My day fancy dreamer
Oh what can it be ?
Well it's something like a power
Like a hold and it's holdin' me
I feel so high
I feel like I may
Go blowin' away
My long laster
My soft hearted master
Ain't been born and bred
But he's standin' in my doorway
In my mind
Up above my head
I feel so high
I feel like I may
Go blowin' away

Lazy flower, my, you창?р??ve grown so tall. I have lost and loved him, you have seen it all.
Lazy Susan, lazy through, hasn창?р??t got a think to do.
Oh, but to sit there and light up the hillside, sun-fried, black-eyed Sue.
Lazy Susan, lazy through, all the hills in love with you,
Courted and cradled by Heaven and hillside, sun-fried,
black-eyed Sue, black-eyed Sue, black-eyed.
Black-eyed Sue, how happy you must be. Once, I too had someone loving me.
Johnny, Johnny, warm and true, that창?р??s how I remember you,
this morning, just as I found you: up there on the hillside
with sun-fried, black-eyed lazy Susan, Susan.

I was born from love
And my poor mother worked the mines
I was raised on the Good Book Jesus
Till I read between the lines
Now I don't believe
I want to see the morning
Going down the Stoney End
I never wanted to go
Down the Stoney End
Mama let me start all over
Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again
I can still remember him
With love light in his eyes
But the light flickered out and parted
As the sun began to rise
Now I don't believe
I want to see the morning
Going down the Stoney End
I never wanted to go
Down the Stoney End
Mama let me start all over
Cradle me, mama, cradle me again
(Cradle me, mama, cradle me again
Mama, cradle me again...)
Never mind the forecast
'Cause the sky has lost control
'Cause the furry and the broken thunders
Come to match my raging soul
Now I don't believe
I want to see the morning
Going down the Stoney End
I never wanted to go
Down the Stoney End
Mama let me start all over
Cradle me, mama, cradle me again
Going down the Stoney End...

I never meant to hurt you, I'm not that way at all.
Please believe the words of a heart, a heart that seems so small.
And I never meant to hurt you, I guess I lost my place.
Please believe the words of a heart, a heart that hides its face.
Why do I do things I never mean to do?
Why did I speak so carelessly when all that I felt was love for you?
And I swear, I never meant to hurt you. I've got to make you know.
Please believe the words of a heart, a heart that didn't show.
I never meant to hurt you, I only meant to love you it's true.
And when I saw you crying, I cried too.

He's a runner
and he'll run away
soon there'll be no man
woman ain't be born
who can make him stay
woman get away while you can
He's a runner
and he'll run away
with the midnight train
woman ain't been born who
can make him stay
come the judgment day
come the rain
he's a runner

There'll come the runnin'
He'll know he's got to
don't ask him not to or why
Oh why oh why did you
leave me
and run off with tomorrow?
now I 'm in chains
till I die

He's a runner
and he'll run away
soon there'll be no man
woman ain't be born who
can make him stay
woman get away while you can
he's a runner
he's a runner
and he's got to run away

Cocaine and quiet beers, sweet candy and caramels.
Pass the time and dry the tears on a street called buy and sell.

Life turns like the endless sea. Death tolls like a vesper bell.
Children laugh and lover dream on a street called buy and sell.

Ladies dress calico style, beware your heart.
And the men walk shamelessly, aimlessly by.
Cinders in the daylight, junkyards in the sky, buy and sell.
Sell my goods to buy my roof, my bed, my bed.

Two pennies will buy a rose. Three pennies and who can tell
on a street that comes and goes by the name of buy and sell?
Buy and sell, sell my goods to buy my roof, my bed.

And when I die and when I'm dead, dead and gone,
there'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on.

I'm not scared of dying and I don't really care.
If it's peace you find in dying, well, then let the time be near.
If it's peace you find in dying, when dying time is here,
just bundle up my coffin cause it's cold way down there,
I hear that's it's cold way down there, yeah, crazy cold way down there.
And when I die and when I'm gone,
there'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on.

My troubles are many, they're as deep as a well.
I can swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.
Swear there ain't no heaven and pray there ain't no hell,
but I'll never know by living, only my dying will tell,
only my dying will tell, yeah, only my dying will tell.
And when I die and when I'm gone,
there'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on.

Give me my freedom for as long as I be.
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me.
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me,
and all I ask of dying is to go naturally, only want to go naturally.
Don't want to go by the devil, don't want to go by the demon,
don't want to go by Satan, don't want to die uneasy,
just let me go naturally.
And when I die and when I'm gone,
there'll be one child born, there'll be one child born.
When I die, there'll be one child born.
When I die, there'll be one child born.
When I die, there'll be one child born.
When I die, there'll be one child born.
