Out in the West Texas town of El Paso I fell in love with a Mexican girl Night time would find me in Rosas Cantina Music would play and Felina would whirl Black as the night were the eyes of Felina Wicked and evil while casting a spell My love was strong for this Mexican maiden I was in love, but in vain I could tell One night a wild young cowboy came in Wild as the West Texas wind Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing With wicked Felina, the girl that I love So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden Down went his hand for the gun that he wore My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor Just for a moment I stood there in silence Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there I had but one chance and that was to run Out through the back door of Rosas I ran Out where the horses were tied I picked a good one, he looked like he could run Up on his back and away I did ride Just as fast as I Could from the West Texas town of El Paso Out through the badlands of New Mexico Back in El Paso my life would be worthless Everythings gone in life, nothing is left But its been so long since Ive seen the young maiden My love is stronger than my fear of death I saddled up and away I did go, riding alone in the dark Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me Tonight nothings worse than this pain in my heart And at last here I Am on the hill overlooking El Paso I can see Rosas Cantina below My love is strong and it pushes me onward Down off the hill to Felina I go Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys Off to my left ride a dozen or more Shouting and shooting, I cant let them catch me Ive got to make it to Rosas back door Something is dreadfully wrong, for I feel A deep burning pain in my side Its getting harder to stay in the saddle Im getting weary, unable to ride But my love for Felina is strong And I writhe where Ive fallen Though I am weary, I cant stop to rest I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle I feel the bullet go deep in my chest From out of nowhere, Felina has found me Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side Cradled by two loving arms that Ill die for One little kiss and Felina goodbye

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung Would you hear my voice come through the music? Would you hold it near as it were your own? Its a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken Perhaps theyre better left unsung I dont know, dont really care Let there be songs to fill the air Ripple in still water When there is no pebble tossed Nor wind to blow Reach out your hand, if your cup be empty If your cup is full, may it be again Let it be known there is a fountain That was not made by the hands of men There is a road, no simple highway Between the dawn and the dark of night And if you go, no one may follow That path is for your steps alone Ripple in still water When there is no pebble tossed Nor wind to blow You who choose to lead must follow But if you fall you fall alone If you should stand, then whos to guide you? If I knew the way I would take you home Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da

Lady with a Fan Let my inspiration flow In token rhyme suggesting rhythm That will not forsake me Til my tale is told and done While the firelights aglow Strange shadows from the flames will grow Til things weve never seen Will seem familiar While the fire, it all forms Smoke flies and they all swarm Down in Carlisle, he loved a lady Many years ago Here beside him stands a man A soldier from the looks of him Who came through many fights But lost at love While the storyteller speaks A door within the fire creaks Suddenly flies open And a girl is standing there Eyes alight with glowing hair All that fancy paints as fair She takes her fan and throws it In the lions den Which of you to gain me, tell Will risk uncertain pains of hell? I will not forgive you If you will not take the chance The sailor gave at least a try The soldier being much too wise Strategy was his strength And not disaster The sailor coming out again The lady fairly leapt at him Thats how it stands today You decide if he was wise The storyteller makes no choice Soon you will not hear his voice His job is to shed light And not to master Since the end is never told We pay the teller off in gold In hopes he will come back But he cannot be bought or sold Terrapin Station Inspiration move me brightly Light the song with sense and color Hold away despair More than this I will not ask Faced with mysteries dark and vast Statements just seem vain at last Some rise, some fall, some climb To get to Terrapin Counting stars by candlelight All are dim but one is bright: The spiral light of Venus Rising first and shining best From the northwest corner Of a brand-new crescent moon Crickets and cicadas sing A rare and different tune Terrapin Station In the shadow of the moon Terrapin Station And I know well be there soon Terrapin - I cant figure out Terrapin - if its the end or beginning Terrapin - but the trains put its brakes on Terrapin - and the whistle is screaming: Terrapin

I went down to the mountain, I was drinking some wine Looked up in the heavens Lord I saw a mighty sign Writting fire across the heaven, plain as black and whit Get prepared, theres going to be a party tonight Uhuh, Hey! Saturday Night! Yeh, uhuh one more Saturday night Hey Saturday night! Everybodys dancing down the local armory With a basement full of dynamite and live artillery The temperature keeps rising, everybody getting high Come the rocking stroke of midnite, the whole place going to fly Turn on channel six, the President comes on the news Says, I get no satisfaction, thats why I sing the blues His wife say Dont get crazy, Lord, you know just what to do Crank up that old Victrola, put on them rocking shoes Then God way up in heaven, for whatever it was worth Thought Hed have a big old party, thought Hed call it planet Earth Dont worry about tomorrow, Lord, youll know it when it comes When the rock and roll music meets the rising sun

Morning comes, she follows the path to the river shore Lightly sung, her song is the latch on the mornings door See the sun sparkle in the reeds, silver beads, pass into the sea She comes from the town where they call her the woodcutters daughter Shes brown as the bank where she kneels down to gather her water And she bears it away with a love that the river has taught her Let it flow, let it flow, wide and clear Round and round, the cut of the plow in the furrowed field Seasons round, the bushels of corn and the barley meal Broken ground, open and beckoning to the spring Black dirt live again The plowman is broad as the back of the land he is sowing As he dances the circular track of the plow ever knowing That the work of his days measures more than the planting and growing Let it grow, let it grow, greatly yield What shall we say, shall we call it by a name? As well to count the angels dancing on a pin Water bright as the sky from which it came And the name is on the earth that takes it in We will not speak but stand inside the rain And listen to the thunder shout, I am! I am! I am! I am! So it goes, we make what we make since the world began Nothing more, the love of the women, the work of man Seasons round, creatures great and small Up and down as we rise and fall What shall we say, shall we call it by a name? As well to count the angels dancing on a pin Water bright as the sky from which it came And the name is on the earth that takes it in We will not speak but stand inside the rain And listen to the thunder shout, I am! I am! I am! I am!

Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free Dizzy with eternity Paint it with a skin of sky Brush in some clouds and sea Call it home for you and me A peaceful place or so it looks from space A closer look reveals the human race Full of hope, full of grace Is the human face But afraid we may lay our home to waste Theres a fear down here we cant forget Hasnt got a name just yet Always awake, always around Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down Ashes, ashes, all fall down Now watch as the ball revolves And the nighttime falls Again the hunt begins Again the bloodwind calls By and by, the morning sun will rise But the darkness never goes From some mens eyes It strolls the sidewalks and it rolls the streets Staking turf, dividing up meat Nightmare spook, piece of heat Its you and me You and me Click flash blade in ghetto night Rudies looking for a fight Rat cat alley, roll them bones Need that cash to feed that jones And the politicians throwin stones Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down Ashes, ashes, all fall down Commissars and pin-stripe bosses Roll the dice Any way they fall Guess who gets to pay the price Money green or proletarian gray Selling guns stead of food today So the kids they dance And shake their bones And the politicians throwin stones Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down Ashes, ashes, all fall down Heartless powers try to tell us What to think If the spirits sleeping Then the flesh is ink Historys page will thus be carved in stone And we are here, and we are on our own On our own On our own On our own If the game is lost Then were all the same No one left to place or take the blame We can leave this place and empty stone Or that shinin ball we used to call our home So the kids they dance And shake their bones And the politicians throwin stones Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down Ashes, ashes, all fall down Shipping powders back and forth Singing black goes south and white comes north In a whole world full of petty wars Singing I got mine and you got yours And the current fashion sets the pace Lose your step, fall out of grace And the radical, he rant and rage Singing someones got to turn the page And the rich man in his summer home Singing just leave well enough alone But his pants are down, his covers blown... And the politicians throwin stones So the kids they dance And shake their bones And its all too clear were on our own Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down Ashes, ashes, all fall down Picture a bright blue ball Just spinnin, spinnin, free Dizzy with the possibilities Ashes, ashes, all fall down Ashes, ashes, all fall down Ashes, ashes, all fall down Ashes, ashes, all fall down Ashes, ashes, all fall down

The warden led the prisoner down the hallway to his doom I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest And I heard him tell the warden just before they reached my cell Let my guitar playin friend sing my request Sing me back home a song I used to hear Make my old memories come alive Sing me away, and turn back the years Sing me home before I die I recall last Sunday morning when the choir from off the street Came in to sing a few old gospel songs And I heard him tell the singers, Theres a song my momma sang Could I hear it once before you travel on? Sing me back home a song I used to hear Make my old memories come alive Sing me away and turn back the years Wont you sing me back home before I die The warden led the prisoner down the hallway to his doom I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest And I heard him tell the warden just before they reached my cell Let my guitar playin friend sing my request Let him sing me back home a song I used to hear Make my old memories come alive Sing me away, and turn back the years Let him sing me back home before I die Sing me back home before I die
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung Would you hear my voice come through the music? Would you hold it near as it were your own? Its a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken Perhaps theyre better left unsung I dont know, dont really care Let there be songs to fill the air Ripple in still water When there is no pebble tossed Nor wind to blow Reach out your hand, if your cup be empty If your cup is full, may it be again Let it be known there is a fountain That was not made by the hands of men There is a road, no simple highway Between the dawn and the dark of night And if you go, no one may follow That path is for your steps alone Ripple in still water When there is no pebble tossed Nor wind to blow You who choose to lead must follow But if you fall you fall alone If you should stand then whos to guide you? If I knew the way I would take you home
Well, put your arms around me like a circle in the sun Stay with me baby like my easy rider done If you dont think I love you look what a fool Ive been If you dont think Im sinking look what a hole Im in Im stealin pretty mama dont you tell on me Im stealin back my good old used-to-be Well, the woman I love shes about my size Shes a married woman, comes to see me sometimes
Saint Stephen with a rose In and out of the garden he goes Country garland in the wind and the rain Wherever he goes, the people all complain Stephen prospered in his time Well he may and he may decline Did it matter? Does it now? Stephen would answer if he only knew how Wishing well with a golden bell Bucket hanging clear to Hell Hell halfway twixt now and then Stephen fill it up and lower down And lower down again Ladyfinger dipped in moonlight Writing What for? across the morning sky Sunlight splatters dawn with answers Darkness shrugs and bids the day goodbye Speeding arrow, sharp and narrow What a lot of fleeting matters you have spurned Several seasons with their treasons Wrap the babe in scarlet covers, call it your own Did he doubt or did he try? Answers aplenty in the bye and bye Talk about your plenty, talk about your ills One man gathers what another man spills Saint Stephen will remain All hes lost he shall regain Seashore washed by the suds and foam Been here so long hes got to calling it home Fortune comes a-crawling, Calliope woman Spinning that curious sense of your own Can you answer? Yes I can But what would be the answer to the answer man?
Sugar magnolia, blossoms blooming Heads all empty, and I dont care Saw my baby down by the river; Knew shed have to come up soon for air Sweet blossom come on, under the willow We can have high times if youll abide We can discover the wonders of nature Rolling in the rushes down by the riverside Shes got everything delightful Shes got everything I need Takes the wheel when Im seeing double Pays my ticket when I speed She comes skimmin through rays of violet She can wade in a drop of dew She dont come, and I dont follow Waits backstage while I sing to you Well, she can dance a Cajun rhythm Jump like a willys in four wheel drive Shes a summer love for spring, fall, and winter She can make happy any man alive Sugar magnolia ringing that bluebell Caught up in sunlight, come on out singing; Ill walk you in the sunshine Come on honey. Come along with me Shes got everything delightful Shes got everything I need: A breeze in the pines and the sun and bright moonlight Lazing in the sunshine? Yes, indeed Sometimes when the cuckoos crying When the moon is half way down... Sometimes when the night is dying I take me out, and I wander around, I wander round Sunshine daydream walking in the tall trees Going where the wind goes, blooming like a red rose, Breathing more freely Ride our singin Ill walk you in the morning sunshine Sunshine daydream, Sunshine daydream Walking in the sunshine
There must be some kind of way out of here Said the joker to the thief Theres too much confusion here I cant get no relief Businessmen, they drink my wine Plow men dig my earth None will level on the line Nobody of it is worth No reason to get excited The thief he kindly spoke There are many here among us Who feel that life is but a joke But you and I weve been through that And this is not our fate So let us not talk falsely now The hours getting late All along the watchtower Princes kept the view Barefoot servants came and went Little children too Outside in the distance A wild cat did growl And two riders were approachin And the wind began to howl
Truckin, got my chips cashed in Keep truckin, like the do-dah man Together, more or less in line Just keep truckin on Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street Chicago, New York, Detroit and its all on the same street Your typical city involved in a typical daydream Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings Dallas, got a soft machine Houston, too close to New Orleans New York got the ways and means But just wont let you be Most of the cats that you meet on the street speak of true love But most of the time theyre sittin and cryin at home One of these days they know they got to get goin Out of the door and down on the street all alone Truckin, like the do-dah man Once told me, you got to play your hand Sometimes the cards aint worth a dime If you dont lay em down Sometimes the lights all shinin on me Other times I can barely see Lately it occurs to me What a long, strange trip its been What in the world ever became of sweet Jane? She lost her sparkle, you know she isnt the same Livin on reds, vitamin C, and cocaine All a friend can say is, aint it a shame Truckin, up to Buffalo Been thinkin: you got to mellow slow Takes time to pick a place to go And just keep truckin on Sittin and starin out of the hotel window Got a tip theyre gonna kick the door in again Id like to get some sleep before I travel But if you got a warrant, I guess youre gonna come in Busted, down on Bourbon Street Set up, like a bowlin pin Knocked down, it gets to wearin thin They just wont let you be Youre sick of hangin around and youd like to travel Get tired of travelin and you want to settle down I guess they cant revoke your soul for tryin Get out of the door and light out and look all around Sometimes the lights all shinin on me Other times I can barely see Lately it occurs to me What a long, strange trip its been Truckin, Im a-goin home Whoa whoa baby, back where I belong Back home, sit down and patch my bones And get back truckin on
I hear a voice callin It must be our Lord Its coming from heaven on high I hear a voice callin Ive gained a reward For the land where we never shall die The saviour who died, on cruel calvary He shed his life blood that the world might be free So follow his footsteps, up the narrow way And be ready to meet him when calls on that day The saviour has paid a great price for me He gave his life on calvary So follow his footsteps,up the narrow way Thatll pay my debt on the great judgement day
