Baby loves me, yes, yes she does

Songwriter: John Stewart<\/p>

Oh, I could hide ‘neath the wings<\/span>
Of the bluebird as she sings.
The six o’clock alarm would never ring.
But it rings and I rise,
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes.
The shavin’ razor’s cold and it stings.<\/div>
Cheer up, sleepy jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.<\/div>
You once thought of me
As a white knight on a steed.
Now you know how happy I can be.
Oh, and our good times start and end
Without dollar one to spend.
But how much, baby, do we really need.<\/div>
Cheer up, sleepy jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
Cheer up, sleepy jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.<\/div>
Cheer up, sleepy jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.<\/div>

Songwriters: Larry Collins & Alex Harvey<\/p>

Delta dawn, what’s that flower you have on\u00a0<\/em>
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by…\u00a0<\/em>
And did i hear you say… He was a-meetin’ you here today\u00a0<\/em>
To take you to his mansion in the sky.<\/em><\/p>

She’s forty-one and her daddy still calls ‘er “baby.”
All the folks ’round brownsville say she’s crazy.
Cause she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand
Lookin’ for a mysterious dark-haired man.<\/p>

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn,
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on.
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
Promised her he’d take her for his bride.<\/p>

Delta dawn, what’s that flower you have on\u00a0<\/em>

Songwriter: Fred Neil<\/p>

Everybody’s talking at me
I don’t hear a word they’re saying
Only the echoes of my mind

People stopping, staring
I can’t see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

I’m going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes

Banking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Wah, wah wah-wah wah
Wah-wah wah-wah, wah wah-wah
Wahhh

I’m going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes

Banking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Everybody’s talking at me
Can’t hear a word they’re saying
Only the echoes of my mind

I won’t let you leave my love behind
No, I won’t let you leave
Wah, wah
I won’t let you leave my love behind<\/p>

Songwriter: Stephen Stills<\/p>

There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
A-telling me I got to beware<\/div>
I think it’s time we stop
Children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down<\/div>
There’s battle lines being drawn
Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Are getting so much resistance from behind<\/div>
Time we stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down<\/div>
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and a-carrying signs
Mostly say hooray for our side<\/div>
It’s time we stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down<\/div>
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away<\/div>
We better stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
We better stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
We better stop now
What’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
We better stop
Children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down<\/div>

Songwriter: Stephen A. Stills<\/p>

Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearby
Awaiting a word.
Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit he runs
Wishing he could fly
Only to trip at the sound of goodbye.<\/p>

Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders
At the empty place inside.
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he worries,
Did he hear a good-bye? Or even\u2026 hello?<\/p>

They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other<\/em><\/p>

Stand by the stairway\u00a0
You’ll see something certain to tell you
Confusion has its cost.
Love isn’t lying it’s loose in a lady who lingers
Saying she is lost, and choking on hello.<\/p>

They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other<\/em><\/p>

How’s about cooking somethin’ up with me?<\/em><\/p>

Hey, sweet baby
Don’t you think maybe
We could find us a brand-new recipe?
I got a hot-rod Ford and a two-dollar bill
And I know a spot right over the hill
There’s soda pop and the dancin’ is free
So if you wanna have fun come along with me, see?<\/p>

[Refrain]<\/b><\/p>

I’m free and ready
So we can go steady
How’s about saving all your time for me?
No more looking
I know I’ve been tooken<\/p>

How’s about keeping steady company?
I’m gonna throw my date-book over the fence
And find me one for five or ten cents
I’ll keep it ’til it’s covered with age
‘Cause I’m writing your name down on every page<\/p>

They say everything can be replaced
They say every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here<\/p>

I see my light come shinin\u2019
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released<\/p>

They say every man needs protection
They say that every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wall<\/p>

I see my light come shinin\u2019
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released<\/p>

Now, yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he\u2019s not to blame
All day long I hear him shouting so loud
Just crying out that he\u2019s been framed<\/p>

I see my light come shinin\u2019
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released<\/p>

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I’m so lonesome, I could cry.<\/div>

And time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind the clouds
To hide its face and cry.<\/div>

When leaves begin to die?
Like me, he’s lost the will to live
I’m so lonesome, I could cry.<\/div>

Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are

I wanna live that age-old dream.
Come on boy let’s go together,
Let’s take the best right now.
Take the best right now.<\/em><\/p>

Long ago in a western town,
Pick me up ’cause my feet are dragging
Give me a lift and I’ll hay your wagon.<\/p>

<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>Secret Agent Man<\/span><\/i><\/div>

Songwriters: Phil Sloan & Steve Barri<\/p>

There’s a man who lives a life of danger
To everyone he mees, he stays a stranger
With every move he makes
Another chance he takes
Odds are he won’t live to see tomorrow<\/p>

Chorus:
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They’ve given you a number
And taken ‘way your name<\/p>

Beware of pretty faces that you find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Don’t let the wrong word slip
While kissing persuasive lips
Or odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow<\/p>

Chorus<\/p>

Swinging on the Riviera one day
Then layin in a Bombay alley next day
Be careful what you say
Or you’ll give yourself away
Odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow<\/p>

Chorus<\/p>

Songwriter: Neil Diamond<\/p>

Melinda was mine till the time
That I found her
Holdin’ Jim
And lovin’ him
Then Sue came along, loved me strong
That’s what I thought
Yeah, me and Sue
Well, that died too<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Don’t know that I will
But until I can find me
A girl who’ll stay and
Won’t play games behind me
And I’ll be what I am
A solitary man
Solitary man<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
I’ve had it to here
Bein’ where love’s a small word
Part-time thing
Paper ring
I know it’s been done
Havin’ one girl who loves you
Right or wrong
Weak or strong<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Don’t know that I will
But until I can find me
A girl who’ll stay and
Won’t play games behind me
I’ll be what I am
A solitary man
Solitary man<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Don’t know that I will
But until I can find me
A girl who’ll stay and
Won’t play games behind me

Songwriters: Michael Campbell, Tom Petty<\/p>

Baby, you’ll come knocking on my front door
Same old line you used to use before
I said, “Yeah, well, what am I supposed to do?”
I didn’t know what I was getting into<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Say you’ve had a little trouble in town
Now you’re keeping some demons down<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Refrain:<\/strong><\/div>

Stop draggin’ my<\/em>
Stop draggin’ my\u00a0<\/em>
Stop draggin’ my heart around<\/em><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
It’s hard to think about what you’ve wanted
It’s hard to think about what you’ve lost
This doesn’t have to be the big get even
This doesn’t have to be anything at all<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
I know you really want to tell me goodbye
I know you really want to be your own girl<\/div>
Baby, you could never look me in the eye
Yeah, you buckle with the weight of the words<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
[Refrain]<\/strong><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
There’s people running ’round loose in the world
Ain’t got nothing better to do
Than make a meal of some bright-eyed kid
You need someone to look after you<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
I know you really want to tell me goodbye
I know you really want to be your own girl<\/div>

Songwriters: Cynthia Weil & Barry Mann<\/p>

In this dirty old part of the city
When the sun refused to shine
People tell me there ain’t no use in tryin’<\/div>
Now, my girl you’re so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You’ll be dead before your time is due, I know<\/div>
Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin’
Watch his hair been turnin’ grey
He’s been workin’ and slavin’ his life away
Oh yes, I know it<\/div>
He’s been workin’ so hard (yeah)
I’ve been workin’ too, baby
Every night and day<\/div>
We gotta get out of this place
If it’s the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there’s a better life for me and you<\/div>
Now, my girl you’re so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true, yeah
You’ll be dead before your time is due, I know it<\/div>
Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin’
Watch his hair been turnin’ grey, yeah
He’s been workin’ and slavin’ his life away
I know he’s been workin’ so hard<\/div>
I’ve been workin’ too, baby (yeah)
Every day baby
Whoa!<\/div>
We gotta get out of this place
If it’s the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there’s a better life for me and you
Somewhere baby, somehow I know it, baby<\/div>
We gotta get out of this place
If it’s the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there’s a better life for me and you<\/div>
Believe me, baby

<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>The Weight<\/span><\/i><\/div>

Songwriter: J.R. Robertson<\/p>

I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin’ about half past dead;
I just need some place where I can lay my head.
“Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?”
He just grinned and shook my hand, and “No!”, was all he said.<\/p>

Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.<\/p>

I picked up my bag, I went lookin’ for a place to hide;
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin’ side by side.
I said, “Hey, Carmen, come on, let’s go downtown.”
She said, “I gotta go, but m’friend can stick around.”<\/p>

Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.<\/p>

Go down, Miss Moses, there’s nothin’ you can say
It’s just ol’ Luke, and Luke’s waitin’ on the Judgement Day.
“Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?”
He said, “Do me a favor, son, woncha stay an’ keep Anna Lee company?”<\/p>

Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.<\/p>

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
He said, “I will fix your rack, if you’ll take Jack, my dog.”
I said, “Wait a minute, Chester, you know I’m a peaceful man.”
He said, “That’s okay, boy, won’t you feed him when you can.”<\/p>

Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.<\/p>

Catch a cannon ball now, t’take me down the line
My bag is sinkin’ low and I do believe it’s time.
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she’s the only one.
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.<\/p>

Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.<\/p>
