Words and music by Van Morrison Little gal, little girl Lord, you know it's true Little gal, little girl, Lord, you know it's true, I don't want to stop Rockin' and rollin' with you. Are you gonna let me stand alone, Are you gonna let me stand alone, Caught you this mornin' Before your Daddy came home. And I've done more for you Than your Daddy has ever done, I've done more for you Than your Daddy has ever done Gave you my jelly roll And he ain't give you none. Don't you ever go down Down on Kersian [Curzon?] Street, It's bad Don't you ever go down Down on Kersian [Curzon?] Street That's where old John Flogs his daily meat Maybe sometime he says leave the Little boy and the girl behind I got messed up round somewhere Called the Notting Hill Gate I lived there for awhile But I moved out And when I moved out I was in such a state I've never gone back there, but I'm sure I done more for you Than you Daddy has ever done baby Made you learn your syllables. Done more for you Than your Daddy has ever done Gave you my jelly roll And he ain't give you none |

Beside You Little Jimmy's gone Way out of the backstreet Out of the window Through the fallin' rain Right on time Right on time That's why Broken Arrow Waved his finger down the road so dark and narrow In the evenin' Just before the Sunday six-bells chime, six-bells chime And all the dogs are barkin' Way on down the diamond-studded highway where you wander And you roam from your retreat and view Way over on the railroad Tomorrow all the tippin' trucks will unload Every scrapbook stuck will glue And I'll stand beside you Beside you child To never never never wonder why at all No no no no no no no no To never never wonder why at all To never never never wonder why it's gotta be It has to be Way across the country where the hillside mountain glide The dynamo of your smile caressed the barefoot virgin child to wander Past your window with a lantern lit You held it in the doorway and you cast against the pointed island breeze Said your time was open, go well on your merry way Past the brazen footsteps of the silence easy You breathe in you breathe out you breathe in you breathe out you breath in you breathe out you breathe in you breathe out And you're high on your high-flyin' cloud Wrapped up in your magic shroud as ecstasy surrounds you This time it's found you You turn around you turn around you turn around you turn around And I'm beside you Beside you Oh darlin' To never never wonder why at all No no no no no To never never never wonder why at all To never never never wonder why it's gotta be It has to be And I'm beside you Beside you Oh child To never never wonder why at all I'm beside you Beside you Beside you Beside you Oh child |

If it matters how you do it, And how you do it it's your thing. If it matters which way you go, That's your way to go. And if you get it like that, That's the way you get it, 'Cause you get it like that When you want to be that way, When you wanna be that way, That's the way you wanna be, see. Hey! It's all right. Hey! Yeah, its all right. Now that you try to do to me Out there a-walkin' doesn't matter, baby Ain't no question, no suggestion Nothin' in my mind that can't be Shut out when I want it to be Nothin' in yours that can't be kept in When you open it up and lose it And nothin' you can't let out If it's got to be let out, just let it out And don't worry which way it goes. Chorus Now how can I tell you that I love you How can I say so many words and so many syllables In such a short space of time as this Just turn it on and soak it in And let it run off the walls And let it down, keep it, and don't lose it Or confuse it It's just right there layin' open Completely open for everybody to see Yeah, you got it. Chorus |

Madame George Down on Cyprus Avenue With a childlike vision leaping into view Clicking, clacking of the high heeled shoe Ford & Fitzroy, Madam George Marching with the soldier boy behind He's much older with hat on drinking wine And that smell of sweet perfume comes drifting through The cool night air like Shalimar And outside they're making all the stops The kids out in the street collecting bottle-tops Gone for cigarettes and matches in the shops Happy taken Madame George That's when you fall Whoa, that's when you fall Yeah, that's when you fall When you fall into a trance A sitting on a sofa playing games of chance With your folded arms and history books you glance Into the eyes of Madame George And you think you found the bag You're getting weaker and your knees begin to sag In the corner playing dominoes in drag The one and only Madame George And then from outside the frosty window raps She jumps up and says Lord have mercy I think it's the cops And immediately drops everything she gots Down into the street below And you know you gotta go On that train from Dublin up to Sandy Row Throwing pennies at the bridges down below And the rain, hail, sleet, and snow Say goodbye to Madame George Dry your eye for Madame George Wonder why for Madame George And as you leave, the room is filled with music, laughing, music, dancing, music all around the room And all the little boys come around, walking away from it all So cold And as you're about to leave She jumps up and says Hey love, you forgot your gloves And the gloves to love to love the gloves... To say goodbye to Madame George Dry your eye for Madame George Wonder why for Madame George Dry your eyes for Madame George Say goodbye in the wind and the rain on the back street In the backstreet, in the back street Say goodbye to Madame George In the backstreet, in the back street, in the back street Down home, down home in the back street Gotta go Say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Dry your eye your eye your eye your eye your eye... Say goodbye to Madame George And the loves to love to love the love Say goodbye Oooooo Mmmmmmm Say goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye to Madame George Dry your eye for Madame George Wonder why for Madame George The love's to love the love's to love the love's to love... Say goodbye, goodbye Get on the train Get on the train, the train, the train... This is the train, this is the train... Whoa, say goodbye, goodbye.... Get on the train, get on the train... |

T.B. Sheets Now listen, Julie baby, it ain't natural for you to cry in the midnight. It ain't natural for you to cry way into midnight through, Until the wee small hours long 'fore the break of dawn, Oh Lord, huh uh ha. Ha. Now Julie, an' there ain't nothin' on my mind More further 'way than what you're lookin' for. I see the way you jumped at me, Lord, from behind the door And looked into my eyes. Your a little star struck innuendos Inadequacies an' foreign bodies, And the sunlight shining through the crack in the window pane Numbs my brain, And the sunlight shining through the crack in the window pane Numbs my brain, oh Lord. Ha, so open up the window and let me breathe. I said open up the window, shh shh shh shh shh and let me breathe. I'm looking down to the street below, Lord, I cried for you, Ha ha, I cried, I cried for you, ha ha. Oh, Lord. The cool room, Lord is a fool's room. The cool room, Lord is a fool's room. And I can almost smell your T.B. sheets And I can almost smell your T.B. sheets On your sick bed. I gotta go, I gotta go And you said, "Please stay, I wanna, I wanna, I want a drink of water, I want a drink of water, Go in the kitchen get me a drink of water." I said, "I gotta go, I gotta go, baby." I said, "I'll send, I'll send somebody around here later. You know we got John comin' around here later With a bottle of wine for you, baby - but I gotta go." The cool room, Lord is a fool's room, The cool room, Lord, Lord is a fool's room, a fool's room. And I can almost smell your T.B. sheets, I can almost smell your T.B. sheets, T.B. I gotta go, I gotta go. I'll send around, send around one that grumbles later on, babe. We'll see what I can pick up for you, you know. Yeah, I got a few things gotta do. Don't worry about it, don't worry about it, don't worry. Huh uh, go, go, go, I've gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, Gotta go, gotta go, huh uh, all right, all right, huh huh huh. I turned on the radio, If you wanna hear a few tunes, I'll turn on the radio for you. There you go, there you go, there you go, baby, there you go, huh. You'll be all right, too, huh huh, ha ha, yeah. I know it ain't funny, it ain't runny at all, baby, Always laying in the cool room, man, laying in the cool room, In the cool room, in the cool room. |

Who Drove the Red Sports Car
Who drove the red sports car from the mansion And laid upon the grass in summer time ? And who done me out high time fashion And made me read between the lines ? And who said, "Follow the man, it's your only chance, Sit on your throne, you got to make it on your own, on your own"? And who said, "Ha, ha, look at you, look at you, You got jam on your face." And who did your homework and read your Bible And signed your name every place ? And who said, "Fortunes untold don't go by gold, You're much better known, you got to make it on your own, On your own." Ah, ah, huh uh. And do you remember, do you remember this time, I said a long time ago when I came walkin' down, I came walkin' down, ha, by Maggie's place, ha ha ha, It started comin' on rain, huh, it started comin' on rain, 'Cause I had nothing on but a shirt and a pair of pants And I was getting wet, I was getting wet, saturated, saturated there, And Maggie opened up the window and Jane swung out her right arm, She said, "Hi!" I said. "Hi, how're you doing, baby ?" She said, "Come on in out the rain, come on in out the rain, Lord, come on in out the rain, sit down by the fireside, And dry yourself." Achoo, do it, do it, ha ha ha, I got caught, I got caught in a, in a bag, in the bag, oh Lord, I said, "I don't mind if I do, I don't mind if I do." Ha, aah... |

Ro Ro Rosey Ro ro ro ro ro ro ro rosey, Ro ro ro ro ro ro ro rosey. You're the apple of my eye, Ice cream in my cherry pie, pie. She's just sixteen and she's not yet grown, She never goes out on her own. She lives way up on the Avenue of Trees, Where I chanced to walk in the cool night breeze. And I, I see her face, her smile, her hair, I cry, "Oh, uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh." Ro ro ro ro ro ro ro rosey, Ro ro ro ro ro ro ro rosey. You're the apple of my eye, Ice cream in my cherry pie, pie, Huh uh, huh uh, huh uh. She came on walking down the avenue and I said, "Baby, can I come in, baby, can I come in And love you one more time ?" She said, "I love you, babe." I said, "D-d-d-do you, whoa woman, do you, Do you love me ?" Ro ro ro ro ro ro ro rosey, Ro ro ro ro ro ro ro rosey. You're the apple of my eye, Ice cream in my cherry pie. |

Hey where did we go, days when the rains came? Down in the hollow, playin' a new game Laughing and a running hey, hey! Skipping and a jumping In the misty morning fog with our hearts a thumpin' and you ... My brown eyed girl You, my brown eyed girl Whatever happened to Tuesday and so slow? Going down the old mine with a transistor radio Standing in the sunlight laughing, hiding behind a rainbow's wall Slipping and sliding, all along the water fall, with you ... My brown eyed girl You, my brown eyed girl Do you remember when we used to sing? Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da ... la te da So hard to find my way, now that I'm all on my own I saw you just the other day, my, how you have grown! Cast my memory back there, Lord, sometimes I'm overcome thinking 'bout Making love in the green grass, behind the stadium with you ... My brown eyed girl You, my brown eyed girl Do you remember when we used to sing? Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da |
