Gregg Allman [오르간, 기타, 보컬]

Last night sorta got so insane,
as I went ridin' on the all night train.
Took it down the street and around the block,
took it downtown baby where the big boys rock.
Roll on, roll on,
take me where I can ease my pain.
Preacher say boy now where you been?
Getting lead in my pockets,
putting money in sin.
When the mornin' comes not a nickel to my name,
threw it all away on the all night train.
Ride, let the passenger ride.
Ride, let the passenger ride.
I woke up late yesterday afternoon,
my eyeballs feeling like two balloons.
The doctor say things ain't never gonna change,
till you stop riding that all night train.
Ride, let the passenger ride.
Ride, let the passenger ride.
Took a little trip to keep from going insane,
spent the rest of my life on the all night train.
All night train.
All night train.
All night train.

Lately I don't know where I went wrong,
But the spell of that pretty young girl is far too strong,
Between her fine perfume and angel face,
My whole world became another place.
The dark side of her intelligence was so strong,
Soon there'll be no difference in right or wrong.
Next thing I know I had a key that unlocked her door.
I could not wait to hear the siren song,
The beginning of the end of my happy home.
Sailin', sailing 'cross the devil's sea, oooh, hooo,
too blind in love, too blind to see.
Heard them say the payback's double-fold,
Just can't seem to remember who I bought and sold.
I'll probably still be here when you come around next year,
Trying to climb from this deep dark hole.
I'll be damned if I just don't feel I'm growin' old.
Sailing, sailing 'cross the devil's sea, ohhh, hooo,
Too blind in love, too blind to see.
Cause she was eviler than evil, slippery like a fox,
set me up with pain and woe and, I swear it won't seem to stop.
If I could just remove her hook from deep from within my soul,
Swear I'll leave and not come back, just let me out that door.
Sailin', sailing 'cross the devil's sea, ohhh, hooo,
Too blind in love, too blind to see.

Say you want to be a rolling stone
Get your sail out in the wind
Get out on the highway and let 'er roll on
Roll on back to someplace you ain't never been
Hey, hey

When I was younger I was hard to hold
Seem like I was always goin'
Which ever way the wind would blow
Now that travelin' spirit calls me again

Callin' me back to where it all begins

Moon rise and sun go down
Turn my whole world around
Little star up in the sky
Tell my sweet baby please don't cry
Please don't cry

Moon rise and sun go down
Turn my whole world around
Little star up in the sky
Tell my sweet baby please don't cry
Please don't cry

Travel out across the burnin' sand
Cross the ocean to some distant land
We'll reach the end we'll all be singin'
and we'll all be friends
Back where it all begins

Back where it all begins

When you can't find the light,
That got you through the cloudy days,
When the stars ain't shinin' bright,
You feel like you've lost you're way,
When those candle lights of home,
Burn so very far away,
Well you got to let your soul shine,
Just like my daddy used to say.

He used to say soulshine,
It's better than sunshine,
It's better than moonshine,
Damn sure better than rain.
Hey now people don't mind,
We all get this way sometime,
Got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.

I grew up thinkin' that I had it made,
Gonna make it on my own.
Life can take the strongest man,
Make him feel so alone.
Now and then I feel a cold wind,
Blowin' through my achin' bones,
I think back to what my daddy said,
He said "Boy, in the darkness before the dawn:"

Let your soul shine,
It's better than sunshine,
It's better than moonshine,
Damn sure better than rain.
Yeah now people don't mind,
We all get this way sometimes,
Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.

Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness,
Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul.
A woman too, God knows, she can feel like this.
And when your world seems cold, you got to let your spirit take
control.

Let your soul shine,
It's better than sunshine,
It's better than moonshine,
Damn sure better than rain.
Lord now people don't mind,
We all get this way sometimes,
Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.

Oh, it's better than sunshine,
It's better than moonshine,
Damn sure better than rain.
Yeah now people don't mind,
We all get this way sometimes,
Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.

Everybody wants to know where Jimmy has gone
He left town, I doubt if he's coming back home

Well Tony got a job, three kids and a lovely wife
Working at the commerce bank for the rest of his life

Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to do the crazy things we used to do before
Nobody left to run with anymore

I'm gonna hit the road, adios my friend
Go someplace and start all over again

Don't know where I'm going, like a gypsy out on the road
I'll go someplace and join a traveling show

Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody wants to do the crazy things we used to do before
Nobody left to run with anymore

Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to run with anymore

I think Jimmy must have had the right idea
Packed his stuff and he got right out of here

I don't know where he's at but I'm sure that he's ok
Now I realize what Jimmy was trying to say

Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody wants to do the crazy things we used to do before
Nobody left to run with anymore

Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to run with anymore

I've got to change my way of living,
cause trouble's all that I can see.
I gotta change my way of living,
Lord trouble's all that I can see.
My life is in such a mess,
there ain't no one to blame but me.
My good girl tried to tell me,
wouldn't hear a thing she said.
Lord my good girl tried to tell me,
wouldn't hear a lonesome thing she said.
Now she's taken her things and left me,
no place for me to lay my head.
Blue, Lord I'm blue.
Raining down on me.
I gotta change my way of living,
cause the blues is all I see.
Blue, Lord I'm blue.
Raining down on me.
I gotta change my way of living,
change my way,
the blues is all I see.
Now when your luck runs out,
that's when your friends will run out too.
Lord, when your luck runs out,
your fairweather friends will run out too.
You're a very lucky man, Lord
if there is just one who'll stand by you.
Blue, Lord I'm blue.
The blues raining down on me.
I gotta change my way of living,
cause the blues is all I see.

Well I love you baby, but you won't give me the time of day.
Well I love you baby, but you won't give me the time of day.
Treat me so bad, but I love you anyway.
Early in the morning sun begins to rise,
Early in the morning sun begins to rise,
Call out your name, wring my hands and cry
Got me runnin', don't know what to do,
There won't be much of me when you get through.
Down on the bottom, nothing left to lose,
Lord I got 'em, mean woman blues.
Well, I love you baby, but you don't even know my name.
Well, I love you baby, but you don't even know my name.
Don't care about me but love you just the same.
Now, someday baby, take you by the hand,
Yeah, someday baby, take you by the hand,
You be my lovin' child and I'll be your lovin' man.
Yeah, you got me runnin', don't know what to do,
there won't be much of me when you get through.
Down on the bottom, nothing left to lose,
Lord I got 'em, mean woman blues.
Got me runnin', don't know what to do,
there won't be much of me when you get through.
Down on the bottom, nothing left to lose,
Lord I got 'em, mean woman blues.

Everybody's got a mountain to climb,
This road we travel gets a little tough sometimes,
Sometimes I know you feel like you can't go on,
Need somebody help you get back home,
Need a friend to help you find your way home.
Reverend Pearly Brown say there's peace out on the water at night,
Big sun going down, Lord it's a pretty sight,
Red and blue across the water makes a wonderful song,
Listen to it all night long.
Everybody's got a mountain to climb,
Don't be discouraged when the sun don't shine,
Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin',
Everybody's got a mountain to climb,
Everybody's got a mountain to climb.
Who'd cross the face of a little smilin' child?,
Take away the loser's one last chance?,
Who wouldn't linger down by the old river for a while?
You know the whole world loves you when you're dancin'.
So, hey let me tell you what I'm talkin' about,
You can't go around with your lip stuck out.
Life ain't all good but it sure ain't bad,
Anyway it's the best old life I ever had.
Everybody's got a mountain to climb,
Don't be discouraged when the sun don't shine,
Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin',
Everybody's got a mountain to climb.
Everybody's got a mountain to climb,
Don't be discouraged when the sun don't shine,
Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin',
Everybody's got a mountain to climb.

I couldn't stay around and finish high school,
I had to hit the streets as soon as I could.
Now I'm runnin', always runnin',
as I turned out the way they said I would.
Daddy told me all about chasing women,
watched my momma lose her mind and all her hope.
Now the only thing that's left of my pathetic life,
is dangling at the end of a rope.
What's done is done,
had me way too much fun,
now I'm runnin' from a man with a gun,
looking back over my shoulder, but I won't get much older
What's done is done,
Lord, what's done is done.
Started hanging with the wrong kind of people,
fooling with the wrong kind of folks.
Made my living doing things, got me locked up in chains,
as I went the way they said I'd go.
Ahhh, what's done is done,
had me way too much fun,
now I'm runnin' from a man with a gun,
looking back over my shoulder, but I won't get much older
What's done is done,
had me way to much fun,
ohhh, runnin' from a man with a gun,
looking back over my shoulder, but I won't get much older
What's done is done,
oh what's done is done
hey, ya, done is done,
ohh what's done is done

Like the hopeful dreams of many,
he had everything and more,
A lovely wife and children,
all the things worth fighting for.

He knows, there was still,
still, something missing in his life.

Though he promised to be faithful,
he was good at telling lies.
He had an eye for young girls,
he would steal some on the side.
Oh no, he just could not be satisfied.

It's a game of all or nothing,
there is nowhere safe to run,
Someone might just pull the trigger,
cause temptation is a gun.

He met her at a night club,
on the other side of town.
Somehow he could not resist her,
she's the best he'd ever found.
She knows, she found her ticket to the other side.

It's a game of all or nothing,
there is nowhere safe to run,
Someone might just pull the trigger,
cause temptation is a gun.

His foolish ways seem harmless,
but his world was so divine,
Cause at home they know his secrets,
they've heard all his alibis.
As he tries to face his feelings,
he can't justify his crimes,
Now comes the final ending,
of the dreams he once held sacred deep inside.

He can kiss it all good-bye.
It's a game of all or nothing,
there is nowhere safe to run,
Someone might just pull the trigger,
cause temptation is a gun.

Oh, ummmm, ya baby,
ahhhh temptation is a gun.
Temptation is a gun,
All or nothing, all or nothing.

Last Sunday morning, the sunshine felt like rain.
Week before, they all seemed the same.
With the help of God and true friends, I come to realize
I still had two strong legs, and even wings to fly.

And oh I, ain't wastin time no more
'Cause time goes by like hurricanes, and faster things.

Lord, lord Miss Sally, why all your cryin'?
Been around here three long days, you're lookin' like you're dyin'.
Just step yourself outside, and look up at the stars above
Go on downtown baby, find somebody to love.

Meanwhile I ain't wastin' time no more
'Cause time goes by like pouring rain, and much faster things.

You don't need no gypsy to tell you why
You can't let one precious day slip by.
Look inside yourself, and if you don't see what you want,
Maybe sometimes then you don't,
But leave your mind alone and just get high.

Well by and by, way after many years have gone,
And all the war freaks die off, leavin' us alone.
We'll raise our children in the peaceful way we can,
It's up to you and me brother
To try and try again.

Well, hear us now, we ain't wastin' time no more
'Cause time goes by like hurricanes
Runnin' after subway trains
Don't forget the pouring rain.

Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah.
The gypsy flies from coast to coast

Knowing many, loving none,
Bearing sorrow havin' fun,
But back home he'll always run
To sweet Melissa... mmm...

Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same.
And no one knows the Gypsy's name

No one hears his lonely sigh,
There are no blankets where he lies.
In all his deepest dreams the Gypsy flies
with sweet Melissa... mmm...

Again the morning's come,
Again he's on the run,
Sunbeams shining through his hair,
Appearing not to have a care.
Well, pick up your gear and Gypsy roll on, roll on.

Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (Lord, Lord)
Will you hide the dead man's ghost,
Or will he lie, beneath the clay,
or will his spirit roll away?

But I know that he won't stay without Melissa.

Yes I know that he won't stay without Melissa.

Ain't but one way out baby, Lord I just can't go out the door.
Ain't but one way out baby, and Lord I just can't go out the door.
Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know.

Lord you got me trapped woman, up on the second floor;
If I get by this time I won't be trapped no more.
So raise our window baby, I can ease out soft and slow.
And lord, your neighbors, no they won't be
Talking that stuff that they don't know.

Lord, I'm foolish to be here in the first place,
I know some man gonna walk in and take my place.
Ain't no way in the world, I'm going out that front door
Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know.
Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know.
Cause there's a man down there,

Freely
Lord, it just might happen to be your man...
Lord, it just a might be your man,
Oh baby, I just don't know...

Don't care how long you go,
I don't care how long you stay,
it's good kind treatment,
bring you home someday.
Someday baby, you ain't gonna trouble,
poor me, anymore.
Now you keep on bettin',
that the dice won't pass.
Well I know, and I know,
whoa, oh you're livin' too fast.
Someday baby, you ain't gonna trouble,
poor me, anymore.
Yeah, I'll tell everybody,
in my neighborhood.
You're a kind little woman,
but you don't do me no good.
But someday baby, you ain't gonna trouble,
poor me, anymore.
I know you're leaving,
if you call that's gone.
Oh without my lovin' yeah,
oh, you can't stay long.
Someday baby, you ain't gonna trouble,
poor me, anymore.
Well good bye baby,
yeah well take my hand.
I don't want no woman no,
who can't have no man.
But someday baby, you ain't gonna trouble,
poor me, anymore. Trouble no more.
Oh yeah... yeah babe.

I recall once upon a time,
Livin was so easy and I felt so fine.
But, my, my, my right before my very eyes,
Satan came with fire to burn me,
Wouldn't listen when they warned me.
A dagger in my back while she's calling me honey,
Wouldn't stand back, for neither love nor money.

Thirty minutes after my ship set sail,
She put up a sign and my house began to wail.
But, why, why, why I couldn't see it in my little girl's eyes?
She had such a way to fool me, Lord she had a way to fool me.
And I would ask the woman, "Can you find it in yourself to please stand back?
You ain't gonna rule me."

Just when all began to fade,
I reached out, threw the Ace of Spades.
I put her on a train to the Everglades.

Now that it's all over and gone,
Somehow I just don't feel so alone.
But, lie, lie, lie it seemed like such a waste of time.
She did not ever seem to know me,
But, now it's much too late to show me.
But, if I ever see that woman walkin down the street I'll just stand back,
And try to move away slowly.
Oh, yeah.

Walk along the river, sweet lullaby, it just keeps on flowing,
It don't worry 'bout where it's going, no, no.
Don't fly, mister blue bird, I'm just walking down the road,
Early morning sunshine tell me all I need to know

*You're my blue sky, you're my sunny day.
Lord, you know it makes me high when you turn your love my way,
Turn your love my way, yeah.

Good old sunday morning, bells are ringing everywhere.
Goin to Carolina, it won't be long and I'll be there

*Repeat

Can you tell me, tell me, friend, just exactly where I've been?
Is that so much to ask? I'll pay you back no matter what the task.
You seem really sure 'bout something I don't know,
take that load off, looks like chest's about to go.
Your wasted words already been heard, are you really God, yes or no?

Well, all day and half the night you're walkin' round lookin' such a fright.
Is it me or is it you? I'd make a wager and I'd hope "to" lose.
Time's gone, looks like Rome is 'bout to fall,
Next time take the elevator, please don't crawl.
Your wasted words so absurd, are you really Satan, yes or no?

Well, I ain't no saint and you sure as hell ain't no savior,
Every other Christmas I would practice good behavior.
That was then, this is now, don't ask me to be Mister Clean,
'cause baby, I don't know how.
Ring my phone 'bout ten more times, we will see,
find that broke down line and let it be.
Your wasted words wiill never be heard, go on home baby and watch it on TV.

Weekday soap-box speciality, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout now,
By the way, this song's for you, sincerely, me.

*Lord, I was born a ramblin' man,
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can.
And when it's time for leavin',
I hope you'll understand,
That I was born a ramblin' man.

Well my father was a gambler down in Georgia,
He wound up on the wrong end of a gun.
And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus
Rollin' down highway 41.

*Repeat

I'm on my way to New Orleans this mornin',
Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee,
They're always having a good time down on the bayou,
Lord, them Delta women think the world of me.

*Repeat

(Repeat and Fade)
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man...

People say that you're no good,
But I wouldn't cut you loose, baby, if I could.
Well, I seem to stay down on the ground,
Baby, I'm too far gone to turn around.
Oh, if only you would make up your mind,
Take me where you go, you're leaving me behind.
Lord, you got those come and go blues,
Lord, you got those some and go blues,
Yes, you do, oh and you got me feelin' like a fool.

'Round 'n' 'round, 'round we go, -
Don't ask me why I stay here, I don't know.
Well maybe I'm a fool to care,
Without your sweet love, baby I would be nowhere.
Here I'll stay, locked in your web,
Till that day I might find somebody else.
I don't know just when that would be,
I don't know, I can't say as I can't see.
Lord you got me feeling like a fool.

Sail on, darlin', sail on
Woman, you go your way, and I'll go mine
Seems to me, that I once heard
That everything is finally cured by time
So sail on, darlin', sail on
Lord, I wish you good luck
And I'll see you when you come next time.

Woman, you got those come and go blues
Yeah, you got those come and go blues,
Yes, you do, oh and you got me feelin' like a fool.

Stormy stormy rain
I'm as lonesome as a man can be
Oh, it's stormin', stormin' rain and
I'm as lonesome as a man can be.
Whoa, the way you've been treatin' me,
I realize it's not the same.

It's a down-right rotten,
Low down dirty shame
Lord it's a down right rotten
low down dirty shame
The way that you treated me
Lord I know I'm not to blame

Jelly jelly jelly
Jelly stays on my mind (Hal Leonard book says "Jelly stains on my mind")
Jelly jelly jelly
Jelly stays on my mind
Jelly roll killed my pappy,
And drove my mama stone blind.

Well I'm Southbound, Lord I'm comin' home to you.
Well I'm Southbound, baby, Lord I'm comin' home to you.
I got that old lonesome feelin' that's sometimes called the blues.

Well I been workin' every night, travelin' every day.
Yes I been workin' every night, traveling every day.
You can tell your other man, sweet daddy's on his way.
Aww, ya better believe.

Well I'm Southbound.
Whoa I'm Southbound.
Well you can tell your other man, Sweet daddy's on his way.

Got your hands full now baby, as soon as I hit that door.
You'll have your hands full now woman, just as soon as I hit that
door.
Well I'm gonna make it on up to you for all the things you should have
had before.

Lord, I'm Southbound.
Yes I'm Southbound.
Whoa I'm Southbound, baby.
Said I'm Southbound.
Well I'm gonna make it on up to you for all the things you should
have had before.

Don't worry for me
Well I'm all right
Lord knows I"m having,
A natural good time,
Pocket full of money
Gonna boogie all night;
There ain't nobody tell me that's crime

*When morning comes and it's time to go
Pony boy carry me home
Pony boy carry me home.

All right mama,
Let me see you do that thing now

Band is jumping and so am I.
I'm just groovin', can't stop movin',
My ole man's got that ole eagle eye
But he is just waitin', we're celebratin'

*Repeat

I feel a change coming on
Come on, mama!
Here it comes now
Papa's with you now;

Look out the door,
There beside that tree.
Well, that's my pony, looking after me,
Front feet doing the shuffle
Back feet, too.
Blow them good old Georgia blues.

*Repeat

Oh, tell me 'bout the car I saw,
parked outside your door,
tell me what you left me waiting,
two or three hours for.
Tell me why when the phone rings baby,
you're up and across the floor,
please don't keep me wonderin' no longer.
- 간 주 중 -
I think about the bad times,
Lord I think about yours and mine,
you were lost in the silver spoon,
thought I pulled you out in time.
And I hope that you got reasons,
for the way that you've been lyin',
please don't keep me wonderin' no longer.
- 간 주 중 -
I think I'm gonna go now,
but you know that I'll be back.
Now you can think it over Baby,

please don't keep me wonderin' no longer.
- 간 주 중 -

Well, I've got to run to keep from hiding,
And I'm bound to keep on riding.
And I've got one more silver dollar,
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no,
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.


And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing,
And the road goes on forever,
And I've got one more silver dollar,
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.


And I've gone by the point of caring,
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing,
And I've got one more silver dollar,
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the Midnight Rider.
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the Midnight Rider.
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the Midnight Rider.
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the Midnight Rider.

Gypsy woman told my mama
'while 'fore I was born.
Got a boy child comin' mama,
He'll be a bad one, now.
I'll make all you little girls,
turn your heads around.
Then I'm gonna take you little girls,
gonna take you right on down... with me yeah
Ho, you just wait and see.
I'll be your hoochie coochie man,
I'll set you free.
On the seventh hour of the seventh day
on the seventh month, seven doctors they say.
I've got lots of good luck, you know they all agree.
But now if ya, if you're lookin' for trouble babe,
you better not mess with me.
Hey, 'cause you know I'll getcha one by one.
Ain't no fun.
I'm that old hoochie coochie man,
a bad son of a gun.
Got a John the conqueroot and got some mojo too,
We got a black cat born, we're gonna slip it to you.
Hey, move over people just as fast as you can.
Said I know you're waitin' for me 'cause I'm the hoochie coochie man.
I'm gonna get you, one by one.
I got set on that old hoochie coochie man
and I'm yo' son of a gun.
Now the gypsy woman told mama, oh 'while 'fore I was born,
she said you know he's comin' mama, he'll be a bad, very bad one.
Make all the ladies, turn their heads around.
You said, I can just see all those women, chasin' him all down.
I'm your hoochie coochie man, everybody knows it.

Take one last look... before you leave,
'cause oh, somehow it means so much to me.
And if you ever need me, you know where I'll be.
So please call home... if you change your mind.
Oh, I don't mind.
I guess I saw it comin'... day by day.
But oh, I could not stand the failure.
Before you leave, there's just one thing I must say.
Please call home... if you change your mind.
Oh, I don't mind.
And I know, that you're used to runnin'.
Oh you're lost baby, and I ain't funnin'.
But oh, when you call to me, well, I'll come runnin'
safe to your side... again I'll confide... in you.
So go on, I won't say no more.
My heart ain't in it, but I'll hold the door.
But just remember, what I said before.
Please call home... if you change your mind.

I been trapped inside four walls, feel like I can't call to no one
ah, way out on the outside.
Well livin' alone is easy, but too long just don't seem really
quite the thing to do, no.
Think I'll drink up a little more wine, to ease my worried mind.
And walk down on the street, and leave my blues at home. All behind.
The landlord is on my line, I can't get no peace of mind.
But I know there's something better.
I can't stay and I can't run, can't keep waitin' for someone
to find and go roll.
Well I'll gather up all my four leaf clovers.
Don't leave, I'm on my way over.
A walk down on the street, and leave my blues at home. All behind.
And I feel I have to scream
whenever I get the notion.
And though I try so hard,
I can't hold back my emotions.
But I... love you, but I can't have ya. Won't you sit by my side.
You don't work, the man don't pay ya.
There ain't no saint to come and save ya, oh, puttin' your toll down.
Well, if you ride you pay the fare... with Satan on your back.
And he don't care where you come from or where you goin'.And before I get myself all down, I jump up and kick the door down.
And walk down on the street, and leave my blues at home. All behind.

Ain't but one way out baby, Lord I just can't go out the door.
Ain't but one way out baby, and Lord I just can't go out the door.
Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know.

Lord you got me trapped woman, up on the second floor;
If I get by this time I won't be trapped no more.
So raise our window baby, I can ease out soft and slow.
And lord, your neighbors, no they won't be
Talking that stuff that they don't know.

Lord, I'm foolish to be here in the first place,
I know some man gonna walk in and take my place.
Ain't no way in the world, I'm going out that front door
Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know.
Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know.
Cause there's a man down there,

Freely
Lord, it just might happen to be your man...
Lord, it just a might be your man,
Oh baby, I just don't know...

[Chorus]
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man,
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can.
And when it's time for leavin',
I hope you'll understand,
That I was born a ramblin' man.

Well my father was a gambler down in Georgia,
He wound up on the wrong end of a gun.
And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus
Rollin' down highway 41.

CHORUS

I'm on my way to New Orleans this mornin',
Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee,
They're always having a good time down on the bayou,
Lord, them Delta women think the world of me.

CHORUS

[Repeat and Fade]
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man...

Well, I've got to run to keep from hiding
And I'm bound to keep on riding
And I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
And the road goes on forever
And I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

I've gone by the point of caring
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing
And I've dropped one more silver dollar

No, I'm not gonna let em catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider
No, I'm not gonna let em catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider
No, I'm not gonna let em catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider

Once I was glad
Always happy, never sad
And every day
Seemed like Sunday

And although things were slow
And never seemed to have no dough
Somehow
I never once got lonely

Ya see the fact is more or less
You're gamblin' with your own happiness
And most all your would be friends
Turn out so phony

Oh, but times they change and rearrange
And I'll sing to the Queen of Hearts
Don't know where to start
Or how to stop

And after things have come and gone
Left me feelin' that I've done so wrong
Oh, I've wasted so much time
Feelin' guilty

And as I watch you sit across the room
Beautiful as the flowers bloom
T'leave it lay just one day
Oh, brother you're gonna come back to find it gone

I love you Queen of Hearts
Tell me not to stop
Just tell me where to start
Where now baby, tell me where to start

And after all that we've been through
I find that when I think of you
A warm soft wind runs through and through
And in my heart there's only you

And I will always keep on trying
To gather this strange piece of mind
Without it there'd be lonely me and
Oh, darlin' lonely you

I love you Queen of Hearts
Don't tell me when to stop
Tell me when to start
Tell now baby
Tell me when to start

Take one last look before you leave
'Cause oh, somehow it means so much to me.
If you ever need me you know just where I'll be
Please call home if you change your mind.

I guess I saw it coming day by day
Oh, but I could not stand the failure
Before you leave, there's just one thing I must say
Please call home if you change your mind

Oh, and I know, you're used to running
You're lost baby and I ain't funnin'
If you call to me baby I'll come runnin'
Straight to your side
Again I'll confide in you

Girl, go ahead on, I won't say no more
My heart ain't in it but I'll hold the door
Just remember what I said before
Please call home if you change your mind
Please call home if you change your mind

Well I've been out walking
I don't do that much talking these days
These days, these days I seem to think a lot
About the things I forgot to do, for you
And all the times I had a chance to

Well I've had a lover
I don't think I'll risk another these days
These days, these days I seem to be afraid
Live the life that I've made in song
But it's just that I have been losing, so long

These days I sit on the corner stone
Count the time in quarter tones of ten, my friend
And now I believe I want to see myself again

These days I sit on the corner stone
Count the time in quarter tones till ten, my friend
Please don't confront me with my failure
I'm aware of them

Got on a bus in Memphis,
Destination Rome.
Georgia ain't no paradise
but a place I just call home.
I sat next to a broken hearted bride
She was cryin', tryin' so hard to hide
her selfish sorrow.

I tried to get her talkin'
She didn't have much to say
She asked me for a map to death row
But I didn't know the way
She had lost a million in the game
One look out the window at the pine trees and the rain
It wasn't her day.

Multicolored lady
you ain't like no rainbow I've ever seen
Multicolored lady
Angry red, passion blue, but mostly shades of green

Midnight came and brought more rain,
nothing seemed to ease her pain.
The hours that we talked seemed like minutes all in vein.
I watched as her tears kept runnin' wide
Bye and bye and bye, way back after a while
She started smilin'.

Multicolored lady
You ain't like no rainbow I've ever known.
Multicolored lady
Come go with me, I'll take you to my home

Oh, by the way, I'm bound for Rome.

I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rollin'
For to take my mother away

I told the undertaker
"Undertaker, please drive slow
'Cause that lady that you are haulin'
Oh, I hate to see her go"

Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

So, I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hold my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave

Oh, tell me when the circle be unbroken?
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Tell me, when the circle be unbroken?
Oh, by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

When the circle be unbroken?
By and by, Lord, by and by
Oh there's a better home away
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

No, I'm no angel
No, I'm no stranger to the street
I've got my label
So I won't crumble at your feet
And I know, baby
So I've got scars upon my cheek
And I'm half crazy
Come on and love me, baby

So you find me hard to handle
Well, I'm easier to hold
So you like my spurs that jingle
And I never leave you cold
So I might steal your diamonds
I'll bring you back some gold
I'm no angel.

No, I'm no angel
No, I'm no stranger to the dark
Let me rock your cradle
Let me start a fire with your spark
Oh, come on, baby
Come and let me show you my tattoo
Let me drive you crazy
Come on and love me, baby

So you don't give a darn about me
I never treat you bad
I won't ever lift a hand to hurt you
And I'll always leave you glad
So I might steal your diamonds
I'll bring you back some gold
I'm no angel.

No, I'm no angel
No, I'm no stranger to the dark
Let me rock your cradle
Let me start a fire in your heart
Oh, come on, baby
Come and let me show you my tattoo
Let me drive you crazy
Come on and love me, baby

Well, come on, baby.

Drive me crazy.

Drive me crazy.

Come on, baby.

Come on, baby.

Oh, come on, baby.

Just an everyday evenin'
A lew nights ago...
I saw this beautiful lady,
ThaI I scarcely know;
I don'l know where she'd come from
I don'l know where she's been...
But something in her big green eyes said
to me...
Baby won'l you come on in

As the sun was rising
I couldn't let myself go...
But something she showed me
Put a hold on me so
I ain't had this feeling,
Since I don't know when,
Falling in love was the tastthing on my mind,
...but it started all over again...

And I know, what happened to me long
time ago...
Bull know, this feeling just thrills me so...

It's like the first tlime walking in the moonlight
The first time you ever touched a rose,
The first time in a long time, everything was alright,
What happens now, nobody knows...anything goes!

The sun was rising
I couldn't make myself go...
Something she showed me
Put a hold on me so
Well I ain't had this feeling,
Since I don't know when,

It's like the first time walking in the moonlight
The first time you ever touched a rose,
The first time in a long time, everything is alright,
What happens now, nobody knows...
Anything goes
Anything goes

When I look for the love in your eyes,
You turn away
And there's nothing as loud as the words
We never say
Look at us now, standing on the edge again
Look at us now, it's not too late to try again
I need some...

Evidence of love, to keep me going on
Please show me some
Evidence of love, and I'll be here
I still believe we can see it through,
There's just so much, that I can do
It doesn't make sense, without some evidence of love

There's a cold, cold look on your face,
Is it saying good-bye?
'Cause there's nothing as cold as the ashes,
When the fire has died
Talk to me now, tell me what you're missing
Talk to me now, I'll try and find your heart again
I need some...

Evidence of love, to keep me going on
Please show me some
Evidence of love, and I'll be here
I still believe we can see it through,
There's just so much, that I can do
It doesn't make sense, without some evidence of love

Stand and fight
Try to say what's on your mind, baby
So much is on the line
There's a chance we'll makit right

Look at us now, standing on the edge again
Look at us now, it's not too late to try again
I need some...

Evidence of love, to keep me going on
Please show me some
Evidence of love, and I'll be here

Every time I see you lately
You look so down and out
Tell me, won't you tell me,
Wh at you're so worried about
Time alter time those young boys
Broke your heart in two
You aint sure if you want to play
'Cause you cant stand to lose

Who could ever blame you?
You're just looking out for your own heart
But il you ever change your mind, baby
You wont have to look to find me, no ...
Baby, Im yours for the asking
Yours for the asking

Each night I lay my head down
Hopin it wont take long,
For you know just how I feel
When you come on home
All it takes to make me smile
Is taking me by the hand.
Let the good times roll on baby...
Over and over again

Who could ever blame you?
You're just looking out for your own heart
But if you ever change your mind, baby
You won't have to look to find me, no ...
Baby, I'm yours for the asking
Yours for the asking

Who could ever blame you?
You're just looking out for your own he art
But il you ever change your mind, baby
You won't have to look to find me, no ...
Baby, I'm yours for the asking
Yours for the asking
Baby, I'm yours

Lately more than ever now,
My mind keeps drilling back in time...
And again I find myseil dreaming
About the way things might've been
These days...they come, and go so fast
And 1 cant believe, my heart will ever last
A whole lifetime
... Living here without you

Leaning back and laughing
Such an easy thing to sell
Going thru the motions
What a show...
Suddenly this feeling,
Grabbed me by my heart
...And it won't let go...
And I need you so...

Still torn between your cheating heart,
There's a damn good chance,
That you'll tear mine all apart...
I could spend my life or a wonder,
...About the way things might have been

So wrap me up...and take me home,
Tell me one more time...that I aint doing no wrong,
Oh, tell me,...baby tell me,...
Is this the way things should have been ?

Leaning back and laughing
Such an easy thing to sell
Going thru the motions
What a show..
Suddenly this feeling,
Grabbed me by my heart,
...And it won't let go...

Don't ask me where I'm going,
I don't know,
Which way the wind is blowing,
I don't know,
We've been over this again and again,
Talking 'bout it only drives me insane,
Think I'd rather take a walk in the rain

I know, I can't keep running,
I know, you've laken enough,
I know, I can't keep running,
And I know you don't want someone,
Running in and out of your life

This ain't no game we're playing
I need time
Listen to what I'm saying,
I need time
Guess I saw it coming right from the start
I can't bring myself to break her heart
When I do it's gonna tear me apart

I know, I can't keep running
I know, you've laken enough
I know, I can't keep running,
And I know you don't want someone,
Running in and out of your life

Can't escape it,
I gotta face it,
Don't wanna leave you with your heart on the line
I can't refuse you,
Don't wanna lose you,
Can't you see that I'm running out of time

I know, I can't keep running
I know, you've taken enough
I know, I can't keep running,
And I know you don't want sorneone
Running in and out of your life

I know, I can't keep running
I know, you've taken enough
I know, I can't keep running,
And I know you don't want sorneone
Running in and out of your life

Of all the young girls I have known before
Believe me there's been a few
One stands out beyond the others
And lady that special one is you

And allthe rest are just faces without names
People without purpose
Caught up in their own games

I always wondered where they come
And even where they'll be going to
They have no roots, they have no boundaries, no
Perhaps they'll find someone like you

But till then, they're just faces without names
People without purpose caught up in their own game

So if I live to be a hundred
I will spend my whole life through
Never taking you for granted, no, no
I'll be forever loving you

While all the rest remain faces without names
People without purpose
Caught up in their own game
Yes all the rest remain faces without names
People without purpose running round and round and round in circles
Oh, can you believe the faces

Baby you ain't the same girl
I knew yesterday
Somehow, somewhere...
You picked up on same dangerous ways
I'm always caring,
Each and every day;
I give you all of my love
And you throw it back in my face...

Oh...where have I been going wrong...
Every girl, I've ever known,
Has wound up leading me on

I...ain't getting no stronger,
And you only give me just enough
To keep me holdin' on...longer
Tell me why,...Oo you have to lead me on
Tell me why can't you find it in yourself,
To just leave me alone

Your promises,
Mean less than nothing to me anymore
Lately, l've been wondering
What am I wasting my good time for
Over and over again
I catch you in your evil lies,
This whole charade is over,
Baby, goodbye...

Oh,...where have I been going wrong...
Every girl, I've ever known,
Has wound up leading me on

I...aint getting no stronger
And you only give me just enough
To keep me holdin on...longer
Tell me why...do you have to lead me on
Oh why cant you find it in yourself,
To just leave me alone

I...aint getting no stronger,
And you only give me just enough
To keep me holdin on...longer
Tell me why...do you have to lead me on

Oh why cant you find it in yourself,
To just leave me alone

I have not come, yeah, to testify
about our bad, bad misfortune and I ain't here a wond'rin' why.
But I'll live on and I'll be strong
'cause it just ain't my cross to bear.

I sat down and wrote you a long letter, it was just the other day.
Said, sure as the sunrise, baby, tomorrow I'll be up and on my way.
But I'll live on and I'll be strong
'cause it just ain't my cross to bear.

But in the end, baby, long towards the end of your road,
don't reach out for me, babe, 'cause I'm not gonna carry your load.
But I'll live on and I'll be strong
'cause it just ain't my cross to bear.

At the dark end of the street
That's where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide our wrong
You and me, at the dark end of the street
Just you and me

I know that time is gonna take its toll
We're gonna pay for the love that we stole
Ah it's a sin and we know that it's wrong
Ah but our love keeps coming on strong
You and me, at the dark end of the street
Just you and me

They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us someday
We'll steal away to the dark end of the street
Just you and me

If you take a walk downtown
And you find some time to look around
If you should see me and I walk on by
Oh darling please don't cry
Tonight we'll meet
At the dark end of the street
Just you and me
Oh you and me
Oh darling, you and me

I got something to say little girl
You might not like my style
But weve been hanging around this town
Just a little too long a while

You say youre gonna get your act together
Gonna take it out on the road
But if I dont get outta here pretty soon
My heads going to explode

Sure I like country music
I like mandolins
But right now I need a telecaster
Through a vibro-lux turned up to ten

Chorus:
Lets go to memphis in the meantime baby
Memphis in the meantime girl

I need a little shot of that rhythm baby
Mixed up with these country blues
I wanna trade in these ol country boots
For some fine italian shoes

Forget the mousse and the hairspray sugar
We dont need none of that
Just a little dabll do ya girl
Underneath a pork pie hat

Until hell freezes over
Maybe you can wait that long
But I dont think ronnie milsaps gonna ever
Record this song

Chorus twice

Bridge:
Maybe theres nothin happenin there
Maybe theres somethin in the air
Before our upper lips get stiff
Maybe we need us a big ol whiff

If we could just get off-a that beat little girl
Maybe we could find the groove
At least we can get a decent meal
Down at the rendez-vous

cause one more heartfelt steel guitar chord
Girl, its gonna do me in
I need to hear some trumpet and saxophone
You know sound as sweet as sin

And after we get good and greasy
Baby we can come back home
Put the cowhorns back on the cadillac
And change the message on the cord-a-phone

But...

Chorus

No, I'm no angel
No, I'm no stranger to the street
I've got my label
So I won't crumble at your feet
And I know, baby
So I've got scars upon my cheek
And I'm half crazy
Come on and love me, baby

So you find me hard to handle
Well, I'm easier to hold
So you like my spurs that jingle
And I never leave you cold
So I might steal your diamonds
I'll bring you back some gold
I'm no angel.

No, I'm no angel
No, I'm no stranger to the dark
Let me rock your cradle
Let me start a fire with your spark
Oh, come on, baby
Come and let me show you my tattoo
Let me drive you crazy
Come on and love me, baby

So you don't give a darn about me
I never treat you bad
I won't ever lift a hand to hurt you
And I'll always leave you glad
So I might steal your diamonds
I'll bring you back some gold
I'm no angel.

No, I'm no angel
No, I'm no stranger to the dark
Let me rock your cradle
Let me start a fire in your heart
Oh, come on, baby
Come and let me show you my tattoo
Let me drive you crazy
Come on and love me, baby

Well, come on, baby.

Drive me crazy.

Drive me crazy.

Come on, baby.

Come on, baby.

Oh, come on, baby.

Baby you ain't the same girl
I knew yesterday
Somehow, somewhere...
You picked up on same dangerous ways
I'm always caring,
Each and every day;
I give you all of my love
And you throw it back in my face...

Oh...where have I been going wrong...
