Doug Clifford

Just got home from Illinois,
Lock the front door, oh boy!
Got to sit down,
Take a rest on the porch.
Imagination sets in,
Pretty soon I'm singin',
Doo, doo, doo
Lookin' out my back door.

There's a giant doing cartwheels,
A statue wearin' high heels.
Look at all the happy creatures
Dancing on the lawn.
A dinosaur Victrola
Listenin' to Buck Owens.
Doo, doo, doo
Lookin' out my back door.

Tambourines and elephants
Are playin' in the band.
Won't you take a ride
On the flyin' spoon?
Wond'rous apparition
Provided by magician.
Doo, doo, doo
Lookin' out my back door.

Tambourines and elephants
Are playin' in the band.
Won't you take a ride
On the flyin' spoon?
Bother me tomorrow,
Today, I'll buy no sorrows.
Doo, doo, doo
Lookin' out my back door.

Forward troubles Illinois,
Lock the front door, oh boy!
Look at all the happy creatures
Dancing on the lawn.
Bother me tomorrow,
Today, I'll buy no sorrows.
Doo, doo, doo
Lookin' out my back door.

(WISH I COULD) HIDEAWAY
Creedence Clearwater Revival

Howdy, friend, beggin' your pardon,
Is there somethin' on your mind?
You've gone and sold all your belongings,
Is that something in your eye?

Well, I know you really never
Liked the way it all goes down;
Go on, Hideaway.

What's that you say?
We're all bound for the graveyard;
Oooh, I wish you well.
Think it's gonna rain,
Oh, what's the diff'rence,
Is there some way I can help?

'Cause you know, I'm gonna miss you
When you're gone, oh, Lord,
Wish I Could Hideaway

Hold on, give yourself a chance,
I can hear the leavin' train.

All aboard! Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!
Oooh, I wish you well.
See you soon, maybe tomorrow.
You never can tell;

"Cause you know, I'm gonna miss you
When you're gone, oh,
Wish I could Hideaway

Hideaway, hideaway, hideaway, hideaway.
Hideaway, hideaway,
Hideaway, hideaway.

Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.
You say I've been buyin' another woman clothes,
But you've been talkin' to someone else.

I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago.
I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago.
Your mama said, "Son,
Don't call my daughter no more."

Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.
You say I've been buyin' another woman clothes,
But you've been takin' money from someone else.

Come on back home, baby; try my love one more time.
Come on back home, baby; try my love one more time.
You've been gone away so long,
I'm just about to lose my mind.

Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.
You say I've been buyin' another woman clothes,
But you've been talkin' to someone else.

Now, when I was just a little boy,
Standin' to my Daddy's knee,
My poppa said, "Son, don't let the man get you
Do what he done to me."
'Cause he'll get you,
'Cause he'll get you now, now.

And I can remember the fourth of July,
Runnin' through the backwood, bare.
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin',
Chasin' down a hoodoo there.
Chasin' down a hoodoo there.

*Born On The Bayou;
Born On The Bayou;
Born On The Bayou.

Wish I was back on the Bayou.
Rollin' with some Cajun Queen.
Wishin' I were a fast freight train,
Just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans.

*Repeat

Do it, do it, do it, do it. Oh, Lord.
Oh get back boy.

I can remember the fourth of July,
Runnin' through the backwood bare.
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin',
Chasin' down a hoodoo there.
Chasin' down a hoodoo there.

*Repeat

All right! Do, do, do, do.
Mmmmmmm, oh.

Ev'ry day I'm gonna strut that stuff.
When the music's loud I can't get enough.
Singin' hi, singin' hi,
Come on feet, Teach yourself to move.

People shuff'lin' up and down again.
Unhappy faces ain't gonna get you in.
Singin' hi, singin' hi,
Come on people, Teach yourself to move.

Hey, hey! Hey, all right!

Spread the news, we're goin' have some fun.
Let it go, movin' son-of-a-gun.
Singin' hi, signin' hi,
Come on feet, We was Born To Move.

Hey, hey, Lord! Come on, move it, now boy!

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle,
In them old cotton fields back home;

*It was down in Louisiana,
Just about a mile from Texarkana,
In them old cotton fields back home.

Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton,
In them old cotton fields back home.

* Repeat

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle,
In them old cotton fields back home;

* Repeeat

Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton,
In them old cotton fields back home.

* Repeat

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle,
In them old cotton fields back home;

* Repeeat

Who'll take the coal from the mine?
Who'll take the salt from the earth?
Who'll take the leaf and grow it to the tree?
Don't look now; it ain't you or me.

Who'll work the field with his hands?
Who'll put his back to the plow?
Who'll take the mountain and give it to the sea?
Don't look now; it ain't you or me.

Don't look now; someone's done your starvin'.
Don't look now; someone's done your prayin', too.

Who'll make the shoes for your feet?
Who'll make the clothes that you wear?
Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep?
Don't look now; it ain't you or me.

Well, don't look now; someone's done your starvin'.
Don't look now; someone's done your prayin', too.

Who'll take the coal from the mine?
Who'll take the salt from the earth?
Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep?
Don't look now; it ain't you or me.

Good Golly Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
When you're rockin' and a rollin'
can't hear your momma call.

From the early early mornin'
till the early early night
You can see Miss Molly
rockin' at the house of blue lights.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
When you're rockin' and a rollin'
can't hear your momma call.

Well, now momma, poppa told me:
"Son, you better watch your step."
If I knew my momma, poppa,
have to watch my dad myself.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
When you're rockin' and a rollin'
can't hear your momma call.

I am going to the corner,
gonna buy a diamond ring.
Would you pardon me
if it's a nineteen carat golden thing.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
When you're rockin' and a rollin'
can't hear your momma call.

Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
When you're rockin' and a rollin'
can't hear your momma call.

"Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart,
Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou, We'd never part
So Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart."

Passed me by one sunny day,
flashed those big brown eyes my way
And oo I wanted you forever more
I'm not one that gets around,
swear my feet stuck to the ground
And though I never did meet you before

I said "Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart,
Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou, We'd never part
So Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart."

Saw your lips I heard your voice,
believe me I just had no choice,
Wild horses couldn't make me stay away.
Thought about a moonlit night,
my arms around you good an' tight,
That's all I had to see for me to say.

"Hey, hey, Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart,
Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou, We'd never part
So Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart.
So Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart.
Yes, Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart."

Oh, It Came Out Of The Sky, landed just a little south of Moline.
Jody fell out of his tractor, couldn't b'lieve what he seen.
Laid on the ground and shook, fearin' for his life.
Then he ran all the way to town screamin' "It Came Out Of The Sky."

Well, a crowd gathered 'round and a scientist said it was marsh gas.
Spiro came and made a speech about raising the Mars tax.
The Vatican said, "Woe, the Lord has come".
Hollywood rushed out an epic film.
And Ronnie the Popular said it was a communist plot.

Oh, the newspapers came and made Jody a national hero.
Walter and Eric said they'd put him on a network T.V. show.
The White House said, "Put the thing in the Blue Room".
The Vatican said, "No, it belongs to Rome."
And Jody said, "It's mine and you can have it for seventeen million."

Oh, It Came Out Of The Sky, landed just a little south of Moline.
Jody fell out of his tractor, couldn't b'lieve what he seen.
Laid on the ground a shakin', fearin' for his life.
Then he ran all the way to town screamin' "It Came Out Of The Sky."
Oh!

It's just a thought
But I've noticed somethin' strange,
Gettin' harder to explain;
All the years are passin' bye and bye,
Still I don't know what makes it go;
Who said to wait and you'll see?

It's just a thought
But I wondered if you knew
That the song up there is you.
They can't take it from you
If you don't give it away;
Don't give it away; Ooh (It's given away.)

It's just a thought
But the word has come too late
That a bad idea will take
Just about a lifetime to explain,
And don't you see,
Good one's gonna be much longer;
Who's gonna wait, just to see?

*I'm lookin' for a reason to stay.
I'm all wound up and tied in knots today.
I'm lookin' for a reason not to go.
When the morning comes, I'll be on my way.

Ev'ry night I ask myself again
Just what it was that made our dream begin.
It seemed like a good idea way back then.
But I'm wond'rin' now what daydream took me in.

*Repeat

Yesterday I tried once more to find
A way to share the trouble on my mind.
It seems like you turn away ev'ry time.
I used to like it here, I can't remember why.

*Repeat

*Moli-i-i-i-na, where you goin' to ?
Moli-i-i-i-na, where you goin' to ?

She's daughter to the mayor,
Messin' with the sheriff,
Drivin' in a blue car,
She don't see no red light.

*Repeat

She's comin' in the mornin'
Lookin' a disaster,
Drivin' in the prowl car,
Spent the night in jail.

*Repeat
Oh!

Sheriff gonna go far
Drivin' to the state house,
If she makes a million,
Papa can retire.

*Repeat

Yes, my baby left me, never said a word.
Was it something I done, something that she heard?
You know she left me, my baby left me.
My baby even left me, never said a word.

But, I stand at my window, wring my hands and cry.
I hate to lose that woman, hate to say goodbye.
You know she left me, I say, she left me.
My baby even left me, never said goodbye.
Help me, boy!

And now, one of these mornings, Lord, it won't be long,
You'll look for me and, Baby, Daddy he'll be gone.
You know she left me, I say she left me.
My baby even left me, never said a word.

Now, I stand at my window, wring my hands and moan.
All I know is that the one I love is gone.
My baby left me, I say she left me.
My baby even left me, never said goodbye.
My baby even left me, never said goodbye.

(minus the "wah-do-day"'s)

You know the night time, oh, is the right time
To be with the one you love.
I said the night time, ooh, is the right time
To be with the one you love.
I said the night time, ooh, is the right time
To be with the one you love.

Baby, I said a baby, Baby, come on and drive me crazy, Lord,
You know I love you; always thinkin' of you.
Hey, baby; oh, I said a baby.
You know the night time is the right time
To be with the one you love.
Aaaah!

I said the night time oh, is the right time
To be with the one you love.
I said the night time, ooh, is the right time
To be with the one you love.
I said the night time oh, is the right time
To be with the one you love.

Well, you wake up in the mornin',
you hear the work bell ring,
And they march you to the table
to see the same old thing.
Ain't no food upon the table,
and no pork up in the pan.
But you better not complain, boy,
you get in trouble with the man.

*Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
Let the Midnight Special shine a everlovin' light on me.

Yonder come miss Rosie,
how in the world did you know?
By the way she wears her apron,
and the clothes she wore.
Umbrella on her shoulder,
piece of paper in her hand;
She come to see the gov'nor,
she wants to free her man.

*Repeat

If you're ever in Houston,
well, you better do the right;
You better not gamble,
there, you better not fight, at all
Or the sheriff will grab ya
and the boys will bring you down.
The next thing you know, boy,
Oh! You're prison bound.

*Repeat

Tombstone Shadow, stretchin' across my path.
Tombstone Shadow, stretchin' across my path.
Ev'ry time I get some good news, Ooh,
There's a shadow on my back.

Saw the gypsy man, 'way down in San Berdoo.
Said, I saw the gypsy man, 'way down in San Berdoo.
Five dollars on the table, Ooh,
Keep me 'way from my tomb.
Oh! Oh!

Said I got thirteen months of bad luck,
Bound to be some pain.
Don't you do no trav'lin',
Fly in no machines.
Tombstone Shadow, stretchin' across my path.
Ev'ry time I get some good news, Ooh,
There's a shadow on my back.

The man gave me a luck charm, Cost five dollars more,
Said, "Put some on your pillow, and put some on your door."
He said, "Take a long vacation, Ooh,
For thirteen months or more."
Oh, Lord!

Tombstone Shadow, stretchin' across my path.
Tombstone Shadow, stretchin' across my path.
Ev'ry time I get some good news, Ooh,
There's a shadow on my back.

Oh, oh, Lord!
Oh, Lord!

Late last night, I went for a walk
Down by the river near my home
Couldn't believe, with my own eyes
And I swear I'll never leave my home again

I saw a man walking on the water
Coming right at me from the other side
Calling out my name, "Do not be afraid"
Feet begin to run, pounding in my brain

I don't want to go, I don't want to go
No, no, no, no, hey no I don't want to go, mmm

Late last night, I went for a walk,
Down by the river near my home.
Couldn't believe, with my own eyes,
And I swear I'll never leave my home again.

I saw a man walking on the water.
Coming right at me from the other side.
Calling out my name; "Do not be afraid."
Feet begin to run, pounding in my brain;
I don't want to go; I don't want to go.

No, no, no, no, no...
I don't want to go.
Mmmmmmm...

Howdy, friend, beggin' your pardon,
Is there somethin' on your mind?
You've gone and sold all your belongings,
Is that something in your eye?

Well, I know you really never
Liked the way it all goes down;
Go on, Hideaway.

What's that you say?
We're all bound for the graveyard;
Oooh, I wish you well.
Think it's gonna rain,
Oh, what's the diff'rence,
Is there some way I can help?

'Cause you know, I'm gonna miss you
When you're gone, oh, Lord,
Wish I Could Hideaway

Hold on, give yourself a chance,
I can hear the leavin' train.

All aboard! Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!
Oooh, I wish you well.
See you soon, maybe tomorrow.
You can never tell;

"Cause you know, I'm gonna miss you
When you're gone, oh,
Wish I could Hideaway

Hideaway, hideaway, hideaway, hideaway.
Hideaway, hideaway,
Hideaway, hideaway.

Met myself a comin' county welfare line.
I was feelin' strung out, Hung out on the line.
Saw myself a goin', down to war in June.
All I want, All I want is to write myself a tune.

*Wrote A Song For Ev'ryone,
Wrote a song for truth.
Wrote A Song For Ev'ryone
And I couldn't even talk to you.

Got myself arrested, Wound me up in jail.
Richmond 'bout to blow up, Communication failed.
If you see the answer, now's the time to say.
All I want, All I want is to get you down to pray.

*Repeat

*Repeat

Saw the people standin' thousand years in chains.
Somebody said it's diff'rent now, look, it's just the same.
Pharoahs spin the message, round and round the truth.
They could have saved a million people, How can I tell you?

*Repeat

I see the bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin'.
I see bad times today.

Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.

I hear hurricanes ablowing.
I know the end is coming soon.
I fear rivers over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.

Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.
All right!

Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we're in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.

Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.

Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.

Traffic in the city turns my head around.
No, no, no, no, no.
Backed up on the freeway, backed up in the church,
Ev'rywhere you look there's a frown, frown.
CHORUS:

Com, commotion,
Git, git, git, gone.
Com, commotion,
Git, git, git, gone.

People keep atalking, they don't say a word.
Jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw.
Talk up in the White House, talk up to your door,
So much going on I just can't hear.

CHORUS

Hurrying to get there so you save some time.
Run, run, run, run, run.
Rushing to the treadmill, rushing to get home,
Worry 'bout the time you save, save.

CHORUS

Early in the evening, just about supper time
Over by the courthouse, they're starting to unwind
Four kids on the corner, trying to bring you up
Willy picks a tune out, and he blows it on the harp.

CHORUS:
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poorboys are playing
Bring a nickel, tap your feet.

Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile
Blink thumps the gut bass and solos for awhile
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo
And Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.

(CHORUS)

You don't need a penny just to hang around
But if you got a nickel, won't you lay your money down
Over on the corner, there's a happy noise
People come from all around, to watch the magic boy.

(CHORUS)

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh they're red white and blue
And when the band plays Hail to the chief
Ooh they point the cannon at you Lord
It ain't me
I ain't no senator's son son
It ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord don't they help themselves
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord the house looks like a rummage sale
It ain't me
I ain't no millionaire's son
It ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh they send you down to war Lord
And when you ask them
How much should we give?
Ooh they only answer More! more! more!
It ain't me
I ain't no military son son
It ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one one
It ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one
It ain't me
I ain't no fortunate son

Well, take me back down where cool water flows, yeah.
Let me remember things I love,
Stopping at the log where catfish bite,
Walking along the river road at night,
Barefoot girls dancing in the moonlight.
I can hear the bullfrog calling me.
Wonder if my rope's still hanging to the tree.
Love to kick my feet 'way down the shallow water.
Shoefly, dragonfly, get back t'your mother.
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River.
Welllllll!

Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, oh,
With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers
Old Cody, Junior took me over,
Said, "You're gonna find the world is smould'ring.
And if you get lost come on home to Green River."

Welllllll!
Come on home.

Oo, Bet you're wond'ring how I knew
About your plans to make me blue
With some other guy that you knew before?
Between the two of us guys, you know I love you more.
It took me by surprise, I must say,
When I found out yester-day.
Oo,
CHORUS:

I heard it through the grapevine,
Not much longer would you be mine.
Oo, I heard it through the grapevine,
And I'm just about to lose my mind.
Honey, honey yeah.

You know that a man ain't supposed to cry,
But these tears I can't hold inside.
Losing you would end my life you see,
'cause you mean that much to me.
You could have told me yourself
That you found someone else.
Instead,

CHORUS

People say you "Hear from what you see,
Na na not from what you hear."
I can't help bein' confused;
If it's true, won't you tell me dear?
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy that you knew before?
Oo,

CHORUS

CHORUS

I put a spell on you
Because you're mine.
You better stop
The things that you're doing.
I said "Watch out!
I aingt lying, yeah!
I aingt gonna take none of your
Fooling around;

I aingt gonna take none of your
Putting me down;
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine.
All right!

(repeat 1x)

Just about a year ago, I set out on the road,
Seeking my fame and fortune, looking for a pot of gold.
Things got bad, and things got worse, I guess you will know the tune.
Oh ! Lord, Stuck in Lodi again.
Rode in on the Greyhound, I'll be walking out if I go.
I was just passing through, must be seven months or more.
Ran out of time and money, looks like they took my friends.
Oh ! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.

The man from the magazine said I was on my way.
Somewhere I lost connections, ran out of songs to play.
I came into town, a one night stand, looks like my plans fell through
Oh ! Lord, Stuck in Lodi again.
Mmmm...

If I only had a dollar, for ev'ry song I've sung.
And ev'ry time I've had to play while people sat there drunk.
You know, I'd catch the next train back to where I live.
Oh ! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.
Oh ! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.

Put a candle in the window, 'cause I feel I've got to move.
Though I'm going, going, I'll be coming home soon,
'Long as I can see the light.
Pack my bag and let's get moving, 'cause I'm bound to drift a while.
When I'm gone, gone, you don't have to worry long,
'Long as I can see the light.

Guess I've got that old trav'lin' bone,
'cause this feeling won't leave me alone.
But I won't, won't be losing my way, no, no
'Long as I can see the light.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Oh, Yeah!

Put a candle in the window, 'cause I feel I've got to move.
Though I'm going, going, I'll be coming home soon,

Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light.

Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch.
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm singin',

*Doo, doo, doo, Lookin' out my back door.

There's a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin' high heels.
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
A dinosaur Victrola list'ning to Buck Owens.

*Repeat

Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon?
Doo, doo doo.
Wond'rous apparition provided by magician.

*Repeat

Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon?
Doo, doo doo.
Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows.

*Repeat

Forward troubles Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows.

*Repeat

Left a good job in the city,
Working for The Man every night and day,
And I never lost one minute of sleeping,
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been.
CHORUS:

Big wheel keep on turning,
Proud Mary keep on burning,
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis,
Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans,
But I never saw the good side of the city,
Until I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.

CHORUS

Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
If you come down to the river,
Bet you gonna find some people who live.
You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money,
People on the river are happy to give.

CHORUS

Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.

Whoa, thought it was a nightmare,
Lo, it's all so true,
They told me, "Don't go walking slow
'Cause Devil's on the loose."
CHORUS:

Better run through the jungle,
Better run through the jungle,
Better run through the jungle,
Woa, Don't look back to see.

Thought I heard a rumbling
Calling to my name,
Two hundred million guns are loaded
Satan cries, "Take aim!"

CHORUS

Over on the mountain
Thunder magic spoke,
"Let the people know my wisdom,
Fill the land with smoke."

CHORUS

First thing I remember was askin' papa, "Why?",
For there were many things I didn't know.
And Daddy always smiled; took me by the hand,
Sayin', "Someday you'll understand."
CHORUS:

Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,
'Cause, "Someday" Never Comes."

Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust,
For there were many things I didn't know.
When Daddy went away, he said, "Try to be a man,
And, Someday you'll understand."

CHORUS

And then, one day in April, I wasn't even there,
For there were many things I didn't know.
A son was born to me; Mama held his hand,
Sayin' "Someday you'll understand."

CHORUS

Think it was September, the year I went away,
For there were many things I didn't know.
And I still see him standing, try'n' to be a man;
I said, "Someday you'll understand."

CHORUS

Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm....

Oh Susie Q,Oh Susie Q, baby I love you,Susie Q.I like the way you walk,I like the way you talk,I like the way you walk, I like the way you talk, Susie Q.You say that you'll be true,You say that you'll be true,You say that you'll be true,Baby I love you, Susie Q.You say that you'll be mine,You say that you'll be mine,You say that you'll be mine,Baby all the time, Susie Q.Oh Susie Q,Oh Susie Q,Oh Susie Q baby I love you,Susie Q.I like the way you walk,I like the way you talk,I like the way you walk, I like the way you talk, Susie Q

Was Ridin' along side the highwayrollin' up the country side.
Thinkin' I'm the devil's heatwavewhat you burn in your crazy mind?
Saw a slight distraction standin' by the road;
She was smilin' thereyellow in her hair;
Do you wannaI was thinkin'would you care.
CHORUS:
Sweet Hitch a Hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King.
Sweet Hitch a Hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
Cruisin' on thru the junction, I'm flyin' 'bout the speed of sound,
Noticin' peculiar function, I ain't no roller coaster show me down.
I turned away to see her, Woa! she caught my eye,
But I was rollin' down, movin' too fast;
Do you wanna, She was thinkin' can it last.
CHORUS
Was busted up along the highway, I'm the saddest ridin' fool alive.
Wond'ring if you're goin' in my way, won't you give a poor boy a ride?
Here she comes a ridin', Lord, She's flyin' high.
But she was rollin' down, movin' too fast;
Do you wanna, She was thinkin' can I last.
CHORUS
CHORUS
CHORUS

Seven Thirty Seven comin' out of the sky.
Oh! Won't you take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride,
I wanna move.

CHORUS:
Playin' in a Travelin' Band. Yeah!
Well, I'm flyin' 'cross the land, try'in' to get a hand,
Playin' in a Travelin' Band.

Take me to the hotel, Baggage gone, oh, well.
Come on, come on, won't you get me to my room,
I wanna move.

CHORUS

Listen to the radio, Talkin' 'bout the last show.
Someone got excited, Had to call the State Militia,
Wanna move.

CHORUS

Oh! WOW!

Here we come again on a Saturday night
Oh with your fussin' and a fightin'
Won't you get me to the rhyme,
I wanna move.

CHORUS

Oh! WOW!

Oh! I'm playin' in a Travelin' Band;
Playin' in a Travelin' Band.
Won't you get me, take me hand
Well, I'm playin' in a Travelin' Band,
Well, I'm flyin' 'cross the land.
Tryin' to get a hand,
Playin' in a Travelin' Band, OH! WOW!

There's a place up ahead and I'm goin'
just as fast as my feet can fly
Come away, come away if you're goin',
leave the sinkin' ship behind.
Come on the risin' wind, we're goin' up around the bend.
Ooh!
Bring a song and a smile for the banjo,
better get while the gettin's good,
Hitch a ride to the end of the highway
where the neons turn to wood.
Come on the risin' wind, we're goin' up around the bend.
Oooh!
You can ponder perpetual motion, fix your mind on a crystal day,
Always time for a good conversation,
there's an ear for what you say.
Come on the risin' wind, we're goin' up around the bend.
Yeah!

Oooh!
Catch a ride to the end of the highway and
we'll meet by the big red tree,
There's a place up ahead and I'm goin',
come along, come along with me.
Come on the risin' wind, we're goin' up around the bend.
Yeah!
Do do doo do...

Long as I remember the rain been comin' down,
clouds of myst ry pourin' confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages tryin' to find the sun.
And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain.

I went down Virginia seekin' shelter from the storm,
caught up in the fable I watched the tower grow
five year plans and new deals wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain.

Heard the singers playin', how we cheered for more.
The crowd had rushed together tryin' to keep warm.
Still the rain kept pourin', fallin' on my ears
and I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain.

- John C. Fogerty

Traffic in the city turns my head around.
No, no, no, no, no.
Backed up on the freeway, backed up in the church,
Ev'rywhere you look there's a frown, frown.

CHORUS:
Com, commotion,
Git, git, git, gone.
Com, commotion,
Git, git, git, gone.

People keep atalkin', they don't say a word.
Jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw.
Talk up in the White House, talk up to your door,
So much goin' on I just can't hear.

CHORUS

Hurryin' to get there so you save some time.
Run, run, run, run, run.
Rushin' to the treadmill, rushin' to get home,
Worry 'bout the time you save, save.

CHORUS

I went down to the station
Just to take a ride.
I went down to the station
Just to take a ride.
Found myself on a flat-car
Yesterday behind.

Pullin' out from the platform,
There was no brass band.
I pulled out from the platform;
Nobody raised a hand.
And there were no tears of regret
From my runaway train,
Train, train, train, train.

Got no sand in my pocket,
You know, I ain't tied down.
Ain't no sand in my pocket,
Never do sit down.
I'm just a cross-tie walker
Where the freight trains run,
Run, run, run, run.

If you see me a-comin',
Don't you waste my time.
If you see me a-comin',
Don't you waste my time.
'Cause there's more miles between us
Than the Santa Fe Line.
Run, run, run, run.

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm,
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm,
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm...

Well, take me back down where cool water flows, yeah.
Let me remember things I love,
Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite,
Walkin' along the river road at night,
Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight.

I can hear the bullfrog callin' me.
Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree.
Love to kick my feet 'way down the shallow water.
Shoefly, dragonfly, get back to your mother.
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River.
Welllllll!

Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, oh,
With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers
. Old Cody, Junior took me over,
Said, "You're gonna find the world is smould'rin'.
And if you get lost come on home to Green River."

Welllllll!
Come on home.

Just about a year ago I set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune
Looking for a pot of gold
Things got bad and things got worse
I guess you will know the tune
Oh, lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again

Rode in on the greyhound
I'll be walkin' out if I go
I was just passin' through
Must be seven months or more
I ran out of time and money
Looks like they took my friends
Oh, lord, stuck in Lodi again

Man from a magazine
Said I was on my way
Somwhere I lost connection
Ran out of songs to play
I came into town a one-night stand
Looks like my plans fell through
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again

If I only had a dollar for every song I've sung
Every time I had to play while people sat there drunk
You know I'd catch the next train
Back to where I live
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again

You know, the night-time (wah-do-day),
Oh, is the right time (wah-do-day)
To be (wah-do-day)
With the one you love (wah-do-day).
I said the night-time (wah-do-day),
Oh, is the right time (wah-do-day)
To be (wah-do-day)

I said the night-time (wah-do-day),
Oh, is the right time (wah-do-day)
To be with the one you love
(Wah-do-day, wah-do-day).

"Baby (wah-do-day),"
I said, "A-baby (wah-do-day),
Baby (wah-do-day),
Come on, and drive me crazy, Lord (wah-do-day).
You know, I love you (wah-do-day),
Always thinkin' of you (wah-do-day)."
"Hey, baby (wah-do-day),"
Oh, I said, "A-baby (wah-do-day),
You know, the night-time (wah-do-day)
Oh, is the right time (wah-do-day)
To be with the one you love
(Wah-do-day, wah-do-day)."
Alright, sing a song!

I said the night-time (wah-do-day),
Oh, is the right time (wah-do-day)
To be (wah-do-day)
With the one you love (wah-do-day).
I said the night-time (wah-do-day),

To be (wah-do-day)
With the one you love (wah-do-day).
I said the night-time (wah-do-day),
Oh, is the right time (wah-do-day)
To be with the one you love.

Tombstone Shadow, stretchin' across my path.
Tombstone Shadow, stretchin' across my path.
Ev'ry time I get some good news, Ooh,
There's a shadow on my back.

Saw the gypsy man, 'way down in San Berdoo.
Said, I saw the gypsy man, 'way down in San Berdoo.
Five dollars on the table, Ooh,
Keep me 'way from my tomb.
Oh! Oh!

Said I got thirteen months of bad luck,
Bound to be some pain.
Don't you do no trav'lin',
Fly in no machines.
Tombstone Shadow, stretchin' across my path.
Ev'ry time I get some good news, Ooh,
There's a shadow on my back.

The man gave me a luck charm, Cost five dollars more,
Said, "Put some on your pillow, and put some on your door."
He said, "Take a long vacation, Ooh,
For thirteen months or more."
Oh, Lord!

Tombstone Shadow, stretchin' across my path.
Tombstone Shadow, stretchin' across my path.
Ev'ry time I get some good news, Ooh,
There's a shadow on my back.

Oh, oh, Lord!
Oh, Lord!

Wrote a song for everyone

Met myself a comin’ county welfare line.
I was feelin’ strung out, Hung out on the line.
Saw myself a goin’, down to war in June.
All I want, All I want is to write myself a tune.

CHORUS:
Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone,
Wrote a song for truth.
Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone
And I couldn’t even talk to you.

Got myself arrested, Wound me up in jail.
Richmond ‘bout to blow up, Communication failed.
If you see the answer, now’s the time to say.
All I want, All I want is to get you down to pray.

Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone,
Wrote a song for truth.
Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone
And I couldn’t even talk to you.

Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone,
Wrote a song for truth.
Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone
And I couldn’t even talk to you.

Saw the people standin’ thousand years in chains.
Somebody said it’s diff’rent now, look, it’s just the same.
Pharoahs spin the message, round and round the truth.
They could have saved a million people, How can I tell you?

Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone,
Wrote a song for truth.
Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone
And I couldn’t even talk to you.

Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone,
Wrote a song for truth.
Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone
And I couldn’t even talk to you.

Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone,
Wrote a song for truth.
Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone
And I couldn’t even talk to you.

(WISH I COULD) HIDEAWAY
Creedence Clearwater Revival

Howdy, friend, beggin' your pardon,
Is there somethin' on your mind?
You've gone and sold all your belongings,
Is that something in your eye?

Well, I know you really never
Liked the way it all goes down;
Go on, Hideaway.

What's that you say?
We're all bound for the graveyard;
Oooh, I wish you well.
Think it's gonna rain,
Oh, what's the diff'rence,
Is there some way I can help?

'Cause you know, I'm gonna miss you
When you're gone, oh, Lord,
Wish I Could Hideaway

Hold on, give yourself a chance,
I can hear the leavin' train.

All aboard! Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!
Oooh, I wish you well.
See you soon, maybe tomorrow.
You never can tell;

"Cause you know, I'm gonna miss you
When you're gone, oh,
Wish I could Hideaway

Hideaway, hideaway, hideaway, hideaway.
Hideaway, hideaway,
Hideaway, hideaway.

Ev'ry day I'm gonna strut that stuff.
When the music's loud I can't get enough.
Singin' hi, singin' hi,
Come on feet, Teach yourself to move.

People shuff'lin' up and down again.
Unhappy faces ain't gonna get you in.
Singin' hi, singin' hi,
Come on people, Teach yourself to move.

Hey, hey! Hey, all right!

Spread the news, we're goin' have some fun.
Let it go, movin' son-of-a-gun.
Singin' hi, signin' hi,
Come on feet, We was Born To Move.

Hey, hey, Lord! Come on, move it, now boy!

You took me runnin' up a wrong way street.
When we got there, you said, "Can't you read ?"
I must be blind, but now and then I see
Another number where mine used to be.

CHORUS:
You keep on changin' your face, like a Chameleon.
You keep on changing your face like a Chameleon.

I say what's up, and then you say it's down.
I see triangles, and you say it's round, round, round.
Saw an empty glass; you said it's full.
Lord, it's so hot, then you come on cool, cool.

CHORUS
CHORUS
CHORUS
CHORUS

Someone told me long ago There's a calm before the storm,
I know; It's been comin' for some time.
When it's over, so they say, It'll rain a sunny day,
I know; Shinin' down like water.

CHORUS:
I want to know, Have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

Yesterday, and days before, Sun is cold and rain is hard,
I know; Been that way for all my time.
'Til forever, on it goes Through the circle, fast and slow,
I know; It can't stop, I wonder.

CHORUS
Yeah!
CHORUS

Hey, Tonight,
Gonna be tonight,
Don't you know I'm flyin'
Tonight, tonight.
Hey, c'mon,
Gonna chase tomorrow
Tonight, tonight.

Gonna get it to the rafters,
Watch me now.
Jody's gonna get religion
All night long.

Hey, c'mon,
Gonna hear the sun
Tonight, tonight.

Gonna get it to the rafters,
Watch me now.
Jody's gonna get religion
All night long.
Aaaah!

Hey, Tonight,
Gonna be tonight,
Don't you know I'm flyin'
Tonight, tonight.
Tonight, tonight.

It's just a thought,
But I've noticed somethin' strange,
Gettin' harder to explain.
All the years are passin' by and by;
Still I don't know
What makes it go.
Who said to wait and you'll see?

It's just a thought,
But I wondered if you knew
That the song up there is you.
They can't take it from you
If you don't give it away,
Don't give it away.
Ooh, it's given away.

It's just a thought,
But the word has come too late,
That a bad idea will take
Just about a lifetime to explain,
And don't you see?
Good one's gonna be much longer.
Who's gonna wait just to see?

CHORUS:
Moli-i-i-i-na, where you goin' to ?
Moli-i-i-i-na, where you goin' to ?

She's daughter to the mayor,
Messin' with the sheriff,
Drivin' in a blue car,
She don't see no red light.

CHORUS

She's comin' in the mornin'
Lookin' a disaster,
Drivin' in the prowl car,
Spent the night in jail.

CHORUS
Oh!

Sheriff gonna go far
Drivin' to the state house,
If she makes a million,
Papa can retire.

CHORUS
CHORUS

Pagan Baby, won't you walk with me?
Pagan Baby, Come on home with me.
Pagan baby, Take me for a ride.
Roll me, baby, Roll your big, brown eyes.

Yeah! Ooh! Ooh!

Pagan Baby, Let me make your name.
Drive it, baby, Drive your big love game.
Pagan baby, What you got, I need.
Don't be savin', Spread your love on me.

Aah! Mm-mm-mm!

Pagan Baby, Now won't you rock with me?
Pagan baby, Lay your love on me.

Yeah, yeah!
Aah! Hey, hey!

Aah! Hey! Yeah!
Hey! Hey! Haaaaaaay!

Woke up early feelin' light (shame, it's a shame),
Somebody got to me last night (shame, it's a shame).
Sat down for a friendly duel (shame, it's a shame)
With one-eyed jacks 'n' jokers, too (shame, it's a shame).

Oh, sailor man (shame, it's a shame),
Oh, sailor man (shame, it's a shame).

Poormouth Henry turned on me (shame, it's a shame),
Said, "Boy, I'm gonna pick you clean." (Shame, it's a shame.)

Oh, sailor man (shame, it's a shame),
Oh, sailor man (shame, it's a shame).

Oh!

Henry said, "Don't you mess that pile," (Shame, it's a shame.)
Had three aces 'n' he had five (shame, it's a shame).

Oh, sailor man (shame, it's a shame),
Oh, sailor man (shame, it's a shame).

Shame, it's a shame.
Shame, it's a shame.
Shame, it's a shame...

Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.
You say I've been buyin' another woman clothes,
But you've been talkin' to someone else.

I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago.
I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago.
Your mama said, "Son,
Don't call my daughter no more."

Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.
You say I've been buyin' another woman clothes,
But you've been takin' money from someone else.

Come on back home, baby, try my love one more time.
Come on back home, baby, try my love one more time.
You've been gone away so long;
I'm just about to lose my mind.

Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.
You say I've been buyin' another woman clothes,
But you've been talkin' to someone else.

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home

It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home

Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields back home

It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home

It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home

Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields back home

It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home

It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home
In them old cotton fields back home

I went down to the station
Just to take a ride.
I went down to the station
Just to take a ride.
Found myself on a flat-car
Yesterday behind.

Pullin' out from the platform,
There was no brass band.
I pulled out from the platform;
Nobody raised a hand.
And there were no tears of regret
From my runaway train,
Train, train, train, train.

Got no sand in my pocket,
You know, I ain't tied down.
Ain't no sand in my pocket,
Never do sit down.
I'm just a cross-tie walker
Where the freight trains run,
Run, run, run, run.

If you see me a-comin',
Don't you waste my time.
If you see me a-comin',
Don't you waste my time.
'Cause there's more miles between us
Than the Santa Fe Line.
Run, run, run, run.

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm,
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm,
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm...

Who'll take the coal from the mine?
Who'll take the salt from the earth?
Who'll take the leaf and grow it to the tree?
Don't look now; it ain't you or me.

Who'll work the field with his hands?
Who'll put his back to the plow?
Who'll take the mountain and give it to the sea?
Don't look now; it ain't you or me.

Don't look now; someone's done your starvin'.
Don't look now; someone's done your prayin', too.

Who'll make the shoes for your feet?
Who'll make the clothes that you wear?
Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep?
Don't look now; it ain't you or me.

Well, don't look now; someone's done your starvin'.
Don't look now; someone's done your prayin', too.

Who'll take the coal from the mine?
Who'll take the salt from the earth?
Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep?
Don't look now; it ain't you or me.

I said 'Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart,
Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou, We'd never part
So Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart.'

Passed me by one sunny day, flashed those big brown eyes my way
And oo I wanted you forever more
I'm not one that gets around, swear my feet stuck to the ground
And though I never did meet you before

I said 'Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart,
Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou, We'd never part
So Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart.'

Saw your lips I heard your voice, believe me I just had no choice,
Wild horses couldn't make me stay away.
Thought about a moonlit night, my arms around you good an' tight,
That's all I had to see for me to say.

'Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart,
Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou, We'd never part
So Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart.
So Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart.
Yes, Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart.'

It's just a thought,
But I've noticed somethin' strange,
Gettin' harder to explain.
All the years are passin' by and by;
Still I don't know
What makes it go.
Who said to wait and you'll see?

Ooh, it's given away.

But the word has come too late,
That a bad idea will take
Just about a lifetime to explain,
And don't you see?
Good one's gonna be much longer.
Who's gonna wait just to see?

Just about a year ago I set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune
Looking for a pot of gold
Things got bad and things got worse
I guess you will know the tune
Oh, lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again

Rode in on the greyhound
I'll be walkin' out if I go
I was just passin' through
Must be seven months or more
I ran out of time and money
Looks like they took my friends
Oh, lord, stuck in Lodi again

Man from a magazine
Said I was on my way
Somwhere I lost connection
Ran out of songs to play
I came into town a one-night stand
Looks like my plans fell through
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again

If I only had a dollar for every song I've sung
Every time I had to play while people sat there drunk
You know I'd catch the next train
Back to where I live
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again

CHORUS:
I'm lookin' for a reason to stay.
I'm all wound up and tied in knots today.
I'm lookin' for a reason not to go.
When the morning comes, I'll be on my way.

Ev'ry night I ask myself again
Just what it was that made our dream begin.
It seemed like a good idea way back then.
But I'm wond'rin' now what daydream took me in.

CHORUS

Yesterday I tried once more to find
A way to share the trouble on my mind.
It seems like you turn away ev'ry time.
I used to like it here, I can't remember why.

CHORUS
CHORUS

Just got home from Illinois,
Lock the front door, oh, boy!
Got to sit down,
Take a rest on the porch.
Imagination sets in,
Pretty soon I'm singin'.
Doo, doo, doo,
Lookin' out my back door.

There's a giant doing cartwheels,
A statue wearin' high heels.
Look at all the happy
Creatures dancing on the lawn.
A Dinosaur Victrola
List'ning to Buck Owens.
Doo, doo, doo,
Lookin' out my back door.

Tambourines and elephants
Are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride
On the flyin' spoon?
Doo, doo-doo.
Wond'rous apparition
Provided by magician.
Doo, doo, doo,
Lookin' out my back door.

Tambourines and elephants
Are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride
On the flyin' spoon?
Doo, doo-doo.
Bother me tomorrow,
Today I'll buy no sorrows.
Doo, doo, doo,
Lookin' out my back door.

Forward troubles Illinois,
Lock the front door, oh, boy!
Look at all the happy
Creatures dancing on the lawn.
Bother me tomorrow,
Today I'll buy no sorrows.
Doo, doo, doo,
Lookin' out my back door.

Yes, my baby left me
Never said a word.
Was it something I done,
Something that she heard?
You know, she left me;
My baby left me.
My baby even left me
Never said a word.

But I stand at my window,
Wring my hands and cry.
I hate to lose that woman,
Hate to say goodbye.
You know, she left me;
My baby left me.
My baby even left me
Never said goodbye.

Play it, Blues Boy!

And now, one of these mornings,
Lord, it won't be long,
You'll look for me, and baby,
Daddy will be gone.
You know, she left me;
My baby left me.
My baby even left me
Never said a word.

Lord, I stand at my window,
Wring my hands and moan.
All I know is that
The one I love is gone.
You know, she left me;
My baby left me.
My baby even left me
Never said goodbye.
My baby even left me
Never said goodbye.

The sun came up and pushed away the clouds.
Stumbled back to my room, really don't know how.
I won't wake up 'til this afternoon,
Been out walkin' all night again.
Stranger here try'n' to have fun;
Far from home, it's just begun.

Give out the warm; it comes back cold.
Oh, God, I need someone to hold.

The coffee's cold, it's gonna have to do.
My feet are shot, feelin' hungry too.
People don't have a thing to say,
Feel your dignity slip away.
Won't wake up 'til this afternoon
To waste a time, 'cause there's nothing new.

Give out the warm; it comes back cold.
Oh, God, I need someone to hold.

Give out the warm; it comes back cold.
Oh, God, I need someone to hold.

A city nice as this one should be kind.
It pushed me down, really don't know why.
When I wake up this afternoon,
Another day to make it through,
Might get lucky and find a dime,
Things don't change, gonna give up tryin'.

Give out the warm; it comes back cold.
Oh, God, I need someone to hold.

Give out the warm; it comes back cold.
Oh, God, I need someone to hold.

Give out the warm, it comes back cold.
Give out the warm, it comes back cold.
Give out the warm, it comes back cold.
Give out the warm, it comes back cold.
Give out the warm, it comes back cold...

Hey, baby, jump over here;
When you do the ooby dooby, I gotta be there.

Ooby dooby, ooby dooby, ooby dooby, ooby dooby,
Ooby dooby, ooby dooby, ooby dooby,
Ooby dooby-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah.

Well, you wiggle to the left, you wiggle to the right,
You do the ooby dooby with all your might.

Ooby dooby, ooby dooby, ooby dooby, ooby dooby,
Ooby dooby, ooby dooby, ooby dooby,
Ooby dooby-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah.

Well, you wiggle an' you shake like a big rattlesnake;
You do the Ooby Dooby till you think you're gonna break.

Ooby dooby, ooby dooby, ooby dooby, ooby dooby,
Ooby dooby, ooby dooby, ooby dooby,
Ooby dooby-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah.

I'm movin' and struttin' 'cause now I know
How to do the ooby dooby, baby, let's go.

Ooby dooby, ooby dooby, ooby dooby, ooby dooby,
Ooby dooby, ooby dooby, ooby dooby,
Ooby dooby-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah.

Move,
Down the road
I go.

Move,
Down the road
I go.

There's mud in the water,
Roach in the cellar,
Bugs in the sugar,
Mortgage on the home,
Mortgage on the home.

There's garbage on the sidewalk,
Highways in the backyard,
Police on the corner,
Mortgage on the car,
Mortgage on the car.

Move,
Down the road
I go.

They're selling independence,
Actors in the White House,
Acid in digestion,
Mortgage on my life,
Mortgage on my life.

Move,
Down the road
I go.

Ramble tamble,
Ramble tamble,
Ramble tamble.

Playin' a pavilion on the outskirts of town,
Playin' where my roller derby rolls.
Just a part-time music man,
A-nobody at the plant,
I'm tearin' up the country with a song.

Mom and Papa told me,
"Son, you gotta go to school;
Only way to make the fam'ly proud."
I paid no attention, left my books at home,
Rather play my music real loud.

Tearin' up the country with a song,
Tearin' up the country with a song.
I paid no attention, left my books at home,
Rather play my music real loud.
Play it loud, now!

Woo!

Tearin' up the country with a song,
Tearin' up the country with a song.
I paid no attention, left my books at home,
Rather play my music real loud.

Ran into a dry spell, seemed nowhere to go.
Good luck turned the tide, I'm on my way.
I remember loadin' big trucks
When the summer sun was hot,
You know, I could still be there, but I'm not.

Tearin' up the country with a song,
Tearin' up the country with a song.
I remember loadin' big trucks
When the summer sun was hot,
You know, I could still be there, but I'm not.

Tearin' up the country with a song,
I'm tearin' up the country with a song.
'Member loadin' big trucks
When the summer sun was hot,
You know, I could still be there, but I'm not.

Wrote a song for everyone

Met myself a comin’ county welfare line.
I was feelin’ strung out, Hung out on the line.
Saw myself a goin’, down to war in June.
All I want, All I want is to write myself a tune.

CHORUS:
Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone,
Wrote a song for truth.
Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone
And I couldn’t even talk to you.

Got myself arrested, Wound me up in jail.
Richmond ‘bout to blow up, Communication failed.
If you see the answer, now’s the time to say.
All I want, All I want is to get you down to pray.

Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone,
Wrote a song for truth.
Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone
And I couldn’t even talk to you.

Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone,
Wrote a song for truth.
Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone
And I couldn’t even talk to you.

Saw the people standin’ thousand years in chains.
Somebody said it’s diff’rent now, look, it’s just the same.
Pharoahs spin the message, round and round the truth.
They could have saved a million people, How can I tell you?

Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone,
Wrote a song for truth.
Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone
And I couldn’t even talk to you.

Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone,
Wrote a song for truth.
Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone
And I couldn’t even talk to you.

Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone,
Wrote a song for truth.
Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone
And I couldn’t even talk to you.

(WISH I COULD) HIDEAWAY
Creedence Clearwater Revival

Howdy, friend, beggin' your pardon,
Is there somethin' on your mind?
You've gone and sold all your belongings,
Is that something in your eye?

Well, I know you really never
Liked the way it all goes down;
Go on, Hideaway.

What's that you say?
We're all bound for the graveyard;
Oooh, I wish you well.
Think it's gonna rain,
Oh, what's the diff'rence,
Is there some way I can help?

'Cause you know, I'm gonna miss you
When you're gone, oh, Lord,
Wish I Could Hideaway

Hold on, give yourself a chance,
I can hear the leavin' train.

All aboard! Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!
Oooh, I wish you well.
See you soon, maybe tomorrow.
You never can tell;

"Cause you know, I'm gonna miss you
When you're gone, oh,
Wish I could Hideaway

Hideaway, hideaway, hideaway, hideaway.
Hideaway, hideaway,
Hideaway, hideaway.

I see the bad moon rising

I see trouble on the way

I see earthquakes and lightnin'

I see bad times today

Don't go 'round tonight

It's bound to take your life

There's a bad moon on the rise

I hear hurricanes a blowin'

I know the end is commin' soon

I fear rivers over flowing

I hear the voice of rage and ruin

Hope you got your things together

Hope you are quite prepared to die

Looks like we'er in for nasty weather

One eye is taken for an eye

Now, when I was just a little boy,
Standin' to my Daddy's knee,
My poppa said, "Son, don't let the man get you
Do what he done to me."
'Cause he'll get you,
'Cause he'll get you now, now.

And I can remember the fourth of July,
Runnin' through the backwood, bare.
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin',
Chasin' down a hoodoo there.
Chasin' down a hoodoo there.

CHORUS:
Born On The Bayou;
Born On The Bayou;
Born On The Bayou.

Wish I was back on the Bayou.
Rollin' with some Cajun Queen.
Wishin' I were a fast freight train,
Just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans.

CHORUS

Do it, do it, do it, do it. Oh, Lord.
Oh get back boy.

I can remember the fourth of July,
Runnin' through the backwood bare.
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin',
Chasin' down a hoodoo there.
Chasin' down a hoodoo there.

CHORUS

All right! Do, do, do, do.
Mmmmmmm, oh.

Traffic in the city turns my head around.
No, no, no, no, no.
Backed up on the freeway, backed up in the church,
Ev'rywhere you look there's a frown, frown.

CHORUS:
Com, commotion,
Git, git, git, gone.
Com, commotion,
Git, git, git, gone.

People keep atalkin', they don't say a word.
Jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw.
Talk up in the White House, talk up to your door,
So much goin' on I just can't hear.

CHORUS

Hurryin' to get there so you save some time.
Run, run, run, run, run.
Rushin' to the treadmill, rushin' to get home,
Worry 'bout the time you save, save.

CHORUS

Early in the evenin' just about supper time,
Over by the courthouse they're starting to unwind.
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up.
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp.

CHORUS:
Down On The Corner, out in the street,
Willy and the Poorboys are playin';
Bring a nickel; tap your feet.

Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile,
Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while.
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo.
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.

CHORUS

CHORUS

You don't need a penny just to hang around,
But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down?
Over on the corner there's a happy noise.
People come from all around to watch the magic boys.

CHORUS
CHORUS
CHORUS

Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rocking and a-rolling, can't hear your momma call

From the early early morning till the early early night
You can see Miss Molly rocking at the house of blue lights
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rocking and a-rolling, can't hear your momma call

Well, now momma, poppa told me, "Son, you better watch your step"
If I knew my momma, poppa, have to watch my dad myself
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rocking and a-rolling, can't hear your momma call

I am going to the corner, gonna buy a diamond ring
Would you pardon me if it's a nineteen-carat golden thing?
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rocking and a-rolling, can't hear your momma call

Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rocking and a-rolling, can't hear your momma call

Well, take me back down where cool water flows, yeah.
Let me remember things I love,
Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite,
Walkin' along the river road at night,
Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight.

I can hear the bullfrog callin' me.
Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree.
Love to kick my feet 'way down the shallow water.
Shoefly, dragonfly, get back to your mother.
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River.
Welllllll!

Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, oh,
With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers
. Old Cody, Junior took me over,
Said, "You're gonna find the world is smould'rin'.
And if you get lost come on home to Green River."

Welllllll!
Come on home.

Someone told me long ago There's a calm before the storm,
I know; It's been comin' for some time.
When it's over, so they say, It'll rain a sunny day,
I know; Shinin' down like water.

CHORUS:
I want to know, Have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

Yesterday, and days before, Sun is cold and rain is hard,
I know; Been that way for all my time.
'Til forever, on it goes Through the circle, fast and slow,
I know; It can't stop, I wonder.

CHORUS
Yeah!
CHORUS

Hey, Tonight,
Gonna be tonight,
Don't you know I'm flyin'
Tonight, tonight.
Hey, c'mon,
Gonna chase tomorrow
Tonight, tonight.

Gonna get it to the rafters,
Watch me now.
Jody's gonna get religion
All night long.

Hey, c'mon,
Gonna hear the sun
Tonight, tonight.

Gonna get it to the rafters,
Watch me now.
Jody's gonna get religion
All night long.
Aaaah!

Hey, Tonight,
Gonna be tonight,
Don't you know I'm flyin'
Tonight, tonight.
Tonight, tonight.

Oo, Bet you're wond'ring how I knew
About your plans to make me blue
With some other guy that you knew before?
Between the two of us guys, you know I love you more.
It took me by surprise, I must say,
When I found out yester-day.
Oo,
CHORUS:

I heard it through the grapevine,
Not much longer would you be mine.
Oo, I heard it through the grapevine,
And I'm just about to lose my mind.
Honey, honey yeah.

You know that a man ain't supposed to cry,
But these tears I can't hold inside.
Losing you would end my life you see,
'cause you mean that much to me.
You could have told me yourself
That you found someone else.
Instead,

CHORUS

People say you 'Hear from what you see,
Na na not from what you hear.'
I can't help bein' confused;
If it's true, won't you tell me dear?
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy that you knew before?
Oo,

CHORUS

CHORUS

I put a spell on you Because you're mine
Stop the things you do Watch out, I ain't lying

I can't stand No running around
I can't stand And no putting me down

I put a spell on you Because you're mine
Stop the things you do Watch out, I ain't lying

I love you, I love you I love you anyhow
I don't care if you don't want me I'm yours right now

I put a spell on you
Because you're mine, mine, mine Oh you're mine

Just about a year ago I set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune
Looking for a pot of gold
Things got bad and things got worse
I guess you will know the tune
Oh, lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again

Rode in on the greyhound
I'll be walkin' out if I go
I was just passin' through
Must be seven months or more
I ran out of time and money
Looks like they took my friends
Oh, lord, stuck in Lodi again

Man from a magazine
Said I was on my way
Somwhere I lost connection
Ran out of songs to play
I came into town a one-night stand
Looks like my plans fell through
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again

If I only had a dollar for every song I've sung
Every time I had to play while people sat there drunk
You know I'd catch the next train
Back to where I live
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again

Put a candle in the window,
'Cause I feel I've got to move.
Though I'm goin', goin',
I'll be coming home soon,
Long as I can see the light.

Pack my bag and let's get movin',
'Cause I'm bound to drift a while.
When I'm gone, gone,
You don't have to worry long,
Long as I can see the light.

Guess I've got that old trav'lin' bone,
'Cause this feelin' won't leave me alone.
But I won't, won't
Be losin' my way, no, no
Long as I can see the light.

Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Oh, Yeah!

Put a candle in the window,
'Cause I feel I've got to move.
Though I'm goin', goin',
I'll be comin' home soon,
Long as I can see the light.

Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light.

You know the night time, oh, is the right time
To be with the one you love.
I said the night time, ooh, is the right time
To be with the one you love.
I said the night time, ooh, is the right time
To be with the one you love.

Baby, I said a baby, Baby, come on and drive me crazy, Lord,
You know I love you; always thinkin' of you.
Hey, baby; oh, I said a baby.
You know the night time is the right time
To be with the one you love.
Aaaah!

I said the night time oh, is the right time
To be with the one you love.
I said the night time, ooh, is the right time
To be with the one you love.
I said the night time oh, is the right time
To be with the one you love.

Left a good job in the city,
Workin' for The Man ev'ry night and day,
And I never lost one minute of sleepin',
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been.
밤낮으로 보스를 위해 일하던
도시의 "좋은 직장"을 관뒀어요.
그리곤 [관두지 않았다면] 내 삶이 어땠을까
걱정하며 단 일분도 잠을 설치지 않았죠.
CHORUS:
Big wheel keep on turnin',
Proud Mary keep on burnin',
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.
큰 바퀴는 계속 돌고
프라우드 매리는 계속 나아가요.
강을 타고 타고 타고 내려가면서.
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis,
Pumped a lot of 'pane down in New Orleans,
But I never saw the good side of the city,
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.
멤피스에서는 그릇도 많이 닦았고
뉴 오올리언스에서는 프로페인도 많이 넣어줬어요
하지만 내가 배의 여왕을 얻어 타고 강따라 내려가기전에는
도시의 좋은 점을 본적이 없어요.
CHORUS
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.
후렴
강을 타고 타고 타고 내려가요.
If you come down to the river,
Bet you gonna find some people who live.
You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money,
People on the river are happy to give.
당신이 만약 (언젠가) 강으로 오시면 (배를 타시면)
진정 살아있는 사람들을 볼거에요.
돈이 없다고 걱정할 필요없어요.
강에 있는 (배를 탄) 사람들은 기꺼이 도와줄테니까요.
CHORUS
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.
후렴
강을 타고, 타고, 타고 내려가요
강을 타고, 타고, 타고 내려가요
강을 타고, 타고, 타고 내려가요

First thing I remember was askin' papa, 'Why?',
For there were many things I didn't know.
And Daddy always smiled; took me by the hand,
Sayin', 'Someday you'll understand.'

Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,
'Cause, 'Someday' Never Comes.'

Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust,
For there were many things I didn't know.
When Daddy went away, he said, 'Try to be a man,
And, Someday you'll understand.'

Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,
'Cause, 'Someday' Never Comes.'

And then, one day in April, I wasn't even there,
For there were many things I didn't know.
A son was born to me; Mama held his hand,
Sayin' 'Someday you'll understand.'

Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,
'Cause, 'Someday' Never Comes.'

Think it was September, the year I went away,
For there were many things I didn't know.
And I still see him standing, try'n' to be a man;
I said, 'Someday you'll understand.'

Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,
'Cause, 'Someday' Never Comes.'

Was ridin' along side the highway,
Rollin' up the countryside.
Thinkin' I'm the devil's heatwave,
What you burn in your crazy mind?
Saw a slight distraction
Standin' by the road.
She was smilin' there, yellow in her hair.
"Do you wanna," I was thinkin', "would you care?"

Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
We could make music at the Greasy King.
Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
Won't you ride on my fast machine?

Cruisin' on thru the junction,
I'm flyin' 'bout the speed of sound.
Noticin' peculiar function,
I ain't no roller coaster; show me down.
I turned away to see her,
Whoa, she caught my eye.
But I was rollin' down, movin' too fast.
"Do you wanna," she was thinkin', "can it last?"

Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
We could make music at the Greasy King.
Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
Won't you ride on my fast machine?

Was busted up along the highway,
I'm the saddest ridin' fool alive.
Wond'ring if you're goin' in my way,
Won't you give a poor boy a ride?
Here she comes a-ridin',
Lord, she's flyin' high.
But she was rollin' down, movin' too fast.
"Do you wanna," she was thinkin', "can I last?"

Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
We could make music at the Greasy King.
Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
Won't you ride on my fast machine?

Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
We could make music at the Greasy King.
Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
Won't you ride on my fast machine?

Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
We could make music at the Greasy King.
Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
Won't you ride on my fast machine?

Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
We could make music at the Greasy King...
