from Ry Cooder - I, Flathead (2008)
I started writing country songs in 1962
Just a dream that I had on my mind My girl and I got married in 1963 We tried so hard to keep our dreams alive So I bought an old house-trailer out on the country side You can't write country songs in town they say We packed up and moved out there and as the time went by We found that we liked living free that way I got me an old Cadillac just to have around Cadillacs and country songs were meant to be I heard that old Hank Williams drove one just like mine So I thought that something might rub off on me You can take what you want after I'm gone It's only just a little place that we called home sweet home One old house trailer two rusty Cadillacs and 5000 country music songs I always sent my songs up to Nashville town In Gase the boys could use a guy like me But the mailman brought 'em right back down and I think it made him sad You're bound to get you one just wait and see I recall the year Ray Price came through town His tour bus parked about a mile from here I sat there in the backseat of that old Coupe De Ville Those shoes were just too big to fill that year A song on Bobby Bare would take you anywhere If I'm still here it wasn't for lack of trying My wife would tell me Honey I'm feelin' somethin' there Don't care if Bobby never reads a line [Chorus] Then late one Summer evening she called me to her side Saying sing me something in your real old style The one I like to hear Bobby Bare passed by I'll just close my eyes and rest a while Well she liked that big old tree and the honeysuckle vine And the mocking bird that sang so tenderly I just packed up all those song words and my old guitar I locked them up and threw away the key |

Well, thank you for the drink my friend, that's alright with me
Let's drink to the workingman, wherever he might be Remember what he stood up for and the struggles he went through Then let us take a little stroll down Cardboard Avenue Down on the street where I live, when evening comes around No T.V. or radio, never hear a lonesome sound Except some poor Joe cryin', Lord, can I make it up to you? But he never gets an answer down on Cardboard Avenue Well here's my little heartbreak hotel, now don't you be let down When the ghost of Hobo Bill comes a-shufflin' around He might pause by your side, saying, Buddy, can you spare a dime or two? Then he'll just drift off into the night on Cardboard Avenue Now, I hear the whistle blowing now, must be the Red Ball train We'll see you in the North Country, when the springtime comes again Just ask any workingman, wherever you might be The whereabouts of Reverend Tom, Lefty Mouse, and Buddy And if he asks you, Were you in the fight, did you join the strike of 1932?

Well I had an Uncle Charley, back in my hometown
Said, Don't take no mice to be your friend 'Cause they'll wait till you're asleep and steal your money and your food And rat you out when the police come around Later on I started travellin', seeing something of this world And I learned to know a thing or two Just because you've been told a story back in your hometown Don't have to mean that story's always true I remember it was winter and things were goin' bad It rained and it snowed all day long Nobody would feed me and I couldn't find no job In a factory or workin' on a farm I was laying in my suitcase and the snow was falling down I didn't know what I was gonna do When I heard a tiny voice out there in the dark Saying, Brother, can I come in there with you? Well right here in my bag I got some real good cheese And a crust of bread or two If you let me come in and get out of the snow I'll share what I got with you Don't take no mice to be your friend Was the rule Uncle Charley always told But the north wind kept howling and the snow kept blowin' down And I couldn't leave him out there in the cold Well he said his name was Lefty and he'd been traveling round The secrets of this world to share with you Mouse traps are set right-handed, get your cheese out from the left We are many, Buddy, they are few He said, They'll tell you lies to make you doubt your fellow man Like cats and mice just can't get along Well it suits the bosses, Buddy, and it serves them fine 'Cause it keeps us working folks from bein' strong There's a better world a coming, Buddy Which side are you on? Don't let the big men take it, Buddy Which side are you on? It's your country, too, Buddy Which side are you on? It's time to take a stand, Buddy Which side are you on? Play! Boy, it's a fact mice ain't no good -- Old Charley always said they'll treat you bad But I'm here to tell you people, and I want it understood Lefty is the truest friend I'd ever had |

Johnson
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees. I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees. Asked the Lord above for mercy, Save me if you please. I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride. I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride. Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by. I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side. I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side. You can still barrelhouse, baby, on the riverside. You can run, you can run, tell my friend-poor Willie Brown. You can run, you can run, tell my friend-poor Willie Brown. And I'm standing at the crossroads, believe I'm sinking down. |

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 right our wrong You and me, at the dark end of the street You and me I know time's gonna take it's toll We have to pay for the love we stole It's a sin and we know it's wrong But our love keeps coming on strong Steal away to the dark end of the street They're gonna to find us, they're gonna to find us Someday they may come along And find us along someday You and me at the dark end of the street You and me And when the daylight hours roll round And if by chance we're both taken in And taken down the town But if we should leave before then And just walk on by Oh sweet baby, please don't you cry Cause tonight we'll share the same dream At the dark end of the street You and me, you and me, you and me At the dark end of the street |

Far back’s I can remember Either had to plow or hoe One of those long ol’ nine feet sacks Standin’ at the old turn row. Down in Mississippi. Down in Mississippi. Down in Mississippi where I was born Down in Mississippi where I come from... They had a huntin’ season on a rabbit If you shoot him you went to jail. The season was always open on me: Nobody needed no bail. Nothing I got ‘gainst Mississippi, It also was the home of my wife. But I count myself a lucky man Just to get away with my life. |
