Bright light city gonna set my soul Gonna set my soul on fire Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn, So get those stakes up higher There's a thousand pretty women waitin' out there And they're all livin' devil may care And I'm just the devil with love to spare Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas
How I wish that there were more Than the twenty-four hours in the day But even if there were forty more I wouldn't sleep a minute away Oh, the black jack and poker and the roulette wheel A fortune won and lost on ev'ry deal All you need's a strong heart and a nerve of steel Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas with you neon flashin' And your one armbandits crashin' All those hopes down the drain Viva Las Vegas turnin' day into nighttime Turnin' night into daytime If you see it once You'll never be the same again
I'm gonna keep on the run I'm gonna have me some fun If it costs me my very last dime If I wind up broke up well I'll always remember that I had a swingin' time I'm gonna give it ev'rything I've got Lady luck please let the dice stay hot Let me shoot a seven with ev'ry shot Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas Viva, Viva Las Vegas

Some of you all never been down South too much I'm gonna tell you a little story, So you'll understand where I'm talking about
Down there we have a plant that Grows out in the woods and the fields And it looks something like a turnip green Everybody calls it Polk salad Now that's Polk salad
Used to know a girl that lived down there and she'd go out in the evenings to pick a mess of it Carry it home and cook it for supper 'Cause that's about all they had to eat But they did all right
Down in Louisiana Where the alligators grow so mean Lived a girl that I swear to the world Made the alligators look tame
Polk salad Annie 'Gators got your granny Everybody said it was a shame For the mama was working on the chain gang What a mean, vicious woman
Everyday before suppertime She'd go down by the truck patch And pick her a mess of polk salad And carry it home in a tote sack
Polk salad Annie 'Gators got you granny Everybody said it was a shame 'Cause the mama was working on the chain gang (Whoo) How wretched, spiteful Straight-razor totin' woman Lord have mercy
Sock a little polk salad to me Yeah, you know what, yeah, yeah
But daddy was a lazy and a no count Claimed he had a bad back All her brothers were fit for Was stealing watermelons out of my truck patch
Polk salad Annie 'Gators got your granny Everybody said it was a shame Because mama was working on the chain gang
Sock a little polk salad to me You know what makes a meal mention You sock a little Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah
Chic a bon, chic a bon chic a bon bon bon bon Chic a bon, chic a bon chic a bon bon bon bon
Sock a little Polk salad to me You know what makes a meal mention Sock a little Polk salad to him You know what meets a meal mention
I just can't help believin' When she smiles up soft and gentle With a trace of misty morning And the promise of tomorrow in her eyes
I just can't help believin' When she's lying close beside me And my heart beats with the rhythm of her sighs This time the girl is gonna stay This time the girl is gonna stay For more than just a day
Oh, I just can't help believin' When she slips her hand in my hand And it feels so small and helpless As my fingers fold around it like a glove
I just can't help believin' When she's whispering her magic And her tears are shining honey sweet with love This time the girl is gonna stay This time the girl is gonna stay For more than just a day For more than just a day
When you're weary, feeling small When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all I'm on your side, oh, When times get rough And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down, Oh, like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
When you're down and out, when you're on the streets When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you I'll take your part when the darkness falls and pain is all around
Yes, like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Oh, like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
Sail on, silver girl, sail on by Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way See how they shine Oh, if you need a friend, I'm sailing right behind
Yes, like a bridge over troubled water I, I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled water I will easy your mind
We've got to patch it up baby Before we fall apart at the seams We've got to patch it up baby We can with time unravel our dreams Let's go back and test it again One more ride is all I ask Get that feelin', that old feelin', it is here
We can patch it up baby, We can patch it up baby, We can patch it up baby, Patch it up with all our dreams We can patch it up baby, Sweep out all the trouble of our heart We've got to patch it up baby, Before our difference pulls us apart
Let's go where the good luck lies Let us give it one more try Can you feel it? That old feelin'? Feel it Healing.
When I said, I needed you You said you would always stay It wasn't me who changed, but you And know you've gone away
Don't you know that now you're gone And I'm left her on my own Then I have to follow you And beg you to come home
You don't have to say you love me Just be close at hand You don't have to stay forever I will understand Believe me, believe me I can't help I love you But believe me, I'll never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory Life seems dead and so unreal All that's left is loneliness There's nothing left to feel
Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton Old times there are not forgotten Look away, look away, look away Dixieland Oh I wish I was in Dixie, away, away In Dixieland I take my stand to live and die in Dixie For Dixieland, that's where I was born Early Lord one frosty morn Look away, look away, look away Dixieland
Glory, glory hallelujah Glory, glory hallelujah Glory, glory hallelujah His truth is marching on
So hush little baby Don't you cry You know your daddy's bound to die But all my trials, Lord will soon be over
Well I've never been to Spain But I kind of like the music Say the ladies are insane there And they sure know how to use it The don't abuse it Never gonna loose it I can't refuse it
Well, I've never been to England But I kind of like the Beatles So I headed for Las Vegas Only made it out to Lido's Can you feel it Must be weary Oh so good oh feel so good
Well I've never been to heaven But I've been in Oklahoma Well, they tell me I was born there But I really don't remember In Oklahoma or Arizona What does it matter What does it matter
Born in the heat of the desert My mother died giving me life Deprived of the love of a father Blamed for the loss of his wife You know Lord I've been in a prison For something that I never done It's been one hill after another I've climbed them all one by one
But this time, Lord you gave me a mountain A mountain you know I may never climb It isn't just a hill any longer You gave me a mountain this time
My woman got tired of heartaches Tired of the grief and the strife So tired of working for nothing Just tired of being my wife She took my one ray of sunshine She took my pride and my joy She took my reason for living She took my small baby boy
But this time, Lord you gave me a mountain A mountain you know I may never climb It isn't just a hill any longer You gave me a mountain this time
