Uttering idle words from a reprobate mind Clinging to strange promises, dying on the vine Never being able to separate the good from the bad Ooh, I can’t stand it, I can’t stand it It’s making me feel so sad Dead man, dead man When will you arise? Cobwebs in your mind Dust upon your eyes Satan got you by the heel, there’s a bird’s nest in your hair Do you have any faith at all? Do you have any love to share? The way that you hold your head, cursing God with every move Ooh, I can’t stand it, I can’t stand it What are you trying to prove?

My back is already to the wall, where can I run? The tuxedo that you’re wearing, the flower in your lapel Ooh, I can’t stand it, I can’t stand it You want to take me down to hell

A cigarette that bears a lipsticks traces An airline ticket to romantic places And still my heart has wings These foolish things remind me of you A tinkling piano in the next apartment Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant A fairgrounds painted swings These foolish things remind me of you You came, you saw, you conquered me When you did that to me I knew somehow this had to be The winds of March that make my heart a dancer A telephone line rings but whos to answer?

Come round you old time cowboys, and listen to my song Please do not grow weary, I will not detain you long Concerning some young cowboy, who did agree to go Spend the summer pleasantly on the trail of the buffalo Well I found myself in Griffin, in the year of 83 When a world-famous drover come a-walkin up to me Sayin, How dya do young cowboy. howd you like to go Spend the summer pleasantly on the trail of the buffalo? Well me being out of work right then, at this drover I did say This a-goin out on the buffalo range depends upon your pay But if you pay good wages, transportation to and fro Think I might go with you on the hunt of the buffalo. yes I will pay good wages and transportation too If youll agree to work for me until the seasons through But if you do get homesick and try to run away Youll starve to death on the prairie and also lose your pay. Well with all this flatterin talkin, he signed up quite a train Some ten to twelve in number, some able-bodied men Our trip it was a pleasant one as we hit the westward road Until we hit old Boggy Creek in old New Mexico Well there our pleasures ended and our troubles they begun A lightin storm did hit us, made the cattle run I got all full of stickers from the cactus that did grow Outlaws watchin to pick us off from the hills of the buffalo Well our workin season ended, but the drover would not pay He said, You went and drunk too much, youre all in debt to me. But the cowboys never did hear of such a thing as a bankrupt law So we left tht drovers bones to bleach on the hills of the buffalo

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son? Oh, where have you been, my darling young one? Ive stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains Walked and Ive crawled on six crooked highways Stepped in the middle of seven sad forests Been out in front of a dozen dead oceans Ive been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard And its a hard and its a hard Its a hard and its a hard And its a hard rains a-gonna fall And what did you see, my blue-eyed son? What did you see, my darling young one? I saw a new-born baby with wild wolves around it I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin A white ladder all covered with water I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children And its a hard and its a hard And its a hard , ha-ha-ha-hard And its a hard rains a-gonna fall And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? What did you hear, my darling young one? I heard the sound of thunder, that roared out a warnin Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin Heard ten thousand whisperin and nobody listenin Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley And its a hard and its a hard And its a hard , hard, hard, hard And its a hard rains a-gonna fall Oh, who you did meet, my blue eyed son? Who did you meet, my darling young one? I met a young child beside a dead pony I met a white man who walked a black dog I met a young woman whose body was burning A young girl, she gave me a rainbow I met one man who was wounded in love Another man who was wounded with hatred Oh, whatll you do now, my blue-eyed son? Whatll you do now, my darling young one? Im a-goin back out fore the rain starts a-fallin Walk to the depths of the deepest black forest Where the people are many and their hands are all empty Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison Where the executioners face is always well hidden Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten Where black is the colour and none is the number And Ill tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it And reflect it from the mountains so all souls can see it Then Ill stand in the ocean until I start sinkin But Ill know my song well before I start singin And its a hard , its a hard And its a hard , ha-ha-ha-ha-hard And its a hard rains a-gonna fall And its a hard and its a hard And its a hard And its a hard rains a-gonna fall

I used to walk with you Along the avenue Our hearts were carefree and gay How could I know Id lose you Somewhere along the way? The friends we used to know Would always smile Hello No love like our love theyd say Then love slipped through our fingers Somewhere along the way I should forget But with the loneliness of night I start remembering evrything Youre gone and yet Theres still a feeling deep inside That you will always be part of me So now I look for you Along the avenue And as I wander I pray That some day soon Ill find you Somewhere along the way I should forget But with the loneliness of night I start remembering evrything Youre gone and yet Theres still a feeling deep inside That you will always be part of me So now I look for you Along the avenue And as I wander I pray That some day soon Ill find you Somewhere along the way Somewhere along the way

I sang the song slowly As she stood in the shadows She stepped to the light As my silver strings spun She called with her eyes To the tune I’s a-playing But the song it was long And I’d only begun Through a bullet of light Her face was reflecting The fast fading words That rolled from my tongue With a long-distance look Her eyes was on fire But the song it was long And there was more to be sung My eyes danced a circle Across her clear outline With her head tilted sideways She called me again As the tune drifted out She breathed hard through the echo But the song it was long And it was far to the end I glanced at my guitar And played it pretending That of all the eyes out there I could see none As her thoughts pounded hard Like the pierce of an arrow But the song it was long And it had to get done As the tune finally folded I laid down the guitar Then looked for the girl Who’d stayed for so long But her shadow was missing For all of my searching So I picked up my guitar And began the next song

Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble Ancient footprints are everywhere You can almost think that youre seein double On a cold dark night on the Spanish Stairs Got to hurry on back to my hotel room Where Ive got me a date with Botticellis niece She promised that shed be right there with me When I paint my masterpiece Oh, the hours Ive spent inside the Coliseum Dodging lions and wastin time Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle I could hardly stand to see em Yes, it sure has been a long hard climb Train wheels runnin thru the back of my memory When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody When I paint my masterpiece Sailin round the world in a dirty gondola Oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola! I left Rome and landed in Brussels On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin muscles Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside Newspapermen eating candy Had to be held down by big police Someday, everything is gonna be diffrent When I paint my masterpiece

I sit here alone on the banks of the river The lonesome wind blows and the water rolls high I can hear a voice calling out there in the darkness But I sit here alone too lonesome to cry Oh, the water rolls high on the river at midnight I sit on the shore to grieve and to cry The woman I love she left me this morning With no one to love or kiss me goodnight We met there one night on the banks of the river Sat there holding hands and making our vow That we never would part and be happy together But a new love shes found, shes gone from me now Oh, the water rolls high on the river at midnight I sit on the shore to grieve and to cry The woman I love she left me this morning With no one to love or kiss me goodnight

Come, you masters of war You that build all the guns You that build the death planes You that build the big bombs You that hide behind walls You that hide behind desks I just want you to know I can see through your masks You that never done nothin But build to destroy You play with my world Like its your little toy You put a gun in my hand And you hide from my eyes And you turn and run farther When the fast bullets fly Like Judas of old You lie and deceive A world war can be won You want me to believe But I see through your eyes And I see through your brain Like I see through the water That runs down my drain You fasten all the triggers For the others to fire Then you set back and watch When the death count gets higher You hide in your mansion As young peoples blood Flows out of their bodies And is buried in the mud Youve thrown the worst fear That can ever be hurled The fear to bring children Into the world For threatening my baby Unborn and unnamed You aint worth the blood That runs in your veins How much do I know To talk out of turn? You might say that Im young You might say Im unlearned But theres one thing I know Though Im younger than you Even Jesus would never Forgive what you do Let me ask you one question Is your money that good? Will it buy you forgiveness? Do you think that it could? I think you will find When your death takes its toll All the money you made Will never buy back your soul And I hope that you die And your death will come soon I will follow your casket In the pale afternoon And Ill watch while youre lowered Down to your deathbed And Ill stand over your grave Til Im sure that youre dead

Skylark, have you anything to say to me? Wont you tell me where my love can be? Is there a meadow in the mist Where someones waiting to be kissed? Skylark, have you seen a valley green with spring? Where my heart can go a-journeying Over the shadows and the rain To a blossom covered lane And in your lonely flight Havent you heard the music in the night? Wonderful music, faint as a will o the wisp Crazy as a loon, sad as a gypsy serenading the moon Oh Skylark, I dont know if you can find these things But my heart is riding on your wings So if you see them anywhere Wont you lead me there?

When youre lost in the rain in Juarez And its Easter time too And your gravity fails And negativity dont pull you through Dont put on any airs When youre down on rue morgue avenue Theyve got some hungry women there And men they really make a mess out of you If you see Saint Annie Tell her thanks a lot I cannot move And my fingers are all in a knot And I havent got the strength To get up and take another shot And my best friend my doctor Wont even say what it is Ive got Sweet Melinda The peasants call her the goddess of gloom She speaks good English And she invites you up into her room And youre so kind And careful not to go to her too soon And then she takes your voice And leaves you howling at the moon Up on project hill Its either fortune or fame You can take one or the other Though neither of them Are to be what they claim And if youre looking to get silly You better go back to from where you came Because the cops dont need you And man they expect the same All the authorities They just stand around and boast Hew they blackmailed the sergeant at arms Into leaving his post And picking up my brother Cail Who just arrived here from the coast Who looked so fine at first But left looking just like a ghost Well I started out on burgundy But soon hit the harder stuff Everybody said theyd stand behind me When the game got rough Oh, but the joke was on me There was noone there even to bluff Im going back to New York City I do believe Ive had enough

Youve long been on the open road Youve been sleepin in the rain From the dirt of words and mud of cell Your clothes are smeared and stained But the dirty words and muddy cells Will soon be judged insane So only stop and rest yourself Till you are off again So take off your thirsty boots And stay for a while Your feet are hot and weary From a dusty mile And maybe I can make you laugh And maybe I can try Im just lookin for the evening And the morning in your eyes But tell me of the ones you saw As far as you could see Across the plain from field to town Marching to be free And of the rusted prison gates That tumbled by degree Like laughing children one by one Who looked like you and me Take off your thirsty boots And stay for a while Your feet are hot and weary From a dusty mile And maybe I can make you laugh And maybe I can try Im just lookin for the evening And the morning in your eyes I know you are no stranger down The crooked rainbow trails From dancing cliff-edged shattered sills Of slender shackled jails But the voices drift up from below As the walls are being scaled All of this and more my friend Your song shall not be failed Then take off your thirsty boots And stay for a while Your feet are hot and weary From a dusty mile And maybe I can make you laugh And maybe I can try Im just lookin for the evening And the morning in your eyes

Come all you lads of high renown That would hear of a fair young maiden And she roved out on a summers day For to view the soldiers paradin They marched so bold and they looked so gay Their colors flyin and the bands did play And it caused young Mary for to say Ill wed you my gallant soldier. She viewed the soldiers on parade And as they stood at their leisure Mary to herself did say At last Ive found my treasure. But oh, how cruel my parents must be Banishing my true love so far from me Well Ill leave them all and Ill go with thee My bold undaunted soldier. Oh Mary dear, your parents love I pray dont be unruly For when youre in a foreign land Believe me youll rue surely Perhaps in battle I might fall From a shot from an angry cannonball And you so far from your daddys hall Be advised by a gallant soldier. If I have fifty guineas in bright gold Likewise a heart thats blunder And Id leave them all and Ill go with you My bold undaunted soldier So dont say no but let me go And I will face the daring foe Well march together to and fro Ill wed you my gallant soldier. And when he saw her loyalty And Mary so true-hearted He said, My darling, married well be And nothin but death will part us And when were in some foreign land Ill guard you, darling, with my right hand Hopes that God might stand a friend To Mary and her gallant soldier.

Went out last night just to take a little round I met my little Sadie and I brought her down I ran right home and I went to bed With a .44 smokeless under my head I began to think what a deed I done I grabbed my head and I began to run I made a good run but I run too slow They overtook me down in Jericho Standin’ on the corner as hes ringin my bell Up stepped the sheriff of Thomasville He says, Young man is your name Brown? Remember you blowed little Sadie down? Oh, yes sir my name is Lee I murdered little Sadie in first degree First degree and second degree If you got any papers, will you serve them to me.

He was just a blue-eyed Boston boy His voice was low with pain Ill do your bidding, comrade mine If I ride back again But if you ride back and I am left Youll do as much for me Mother, you know, must hear the news So write to her tenderly Shes waiting at home like a patient saint Her fond face pale with woe Her heart will be broken when I am gone Ill see her soon, I know. Just then the order came to charge For an instance hand touched hand They said, Aye, and away they rode That brave and devoted band Straight was the track to the top of the hill The rebels they shot and shelled Plowed furrows of death through the toiling ranks And guarded them as they fell There soon came a horrible dying yell From heights that they could not gain And those whom doom and death had spared Rode slowly back again But among the dead that were left on the hill Was the boy with the curly hair The tall dark man who rode by his side Lay dead beside him there Theres no one to write to the blue-eyed girl The words that her lover had said Momma, you know, awaits the news And shell only know hes dead

They sat together in the park As the evening sky grew dark She looked at him and he felt a spark Tingle to his bones Twas then he felt alone And wished that hed gone straight And watched out for a simple twist of fate They walked alone by the old canal A little confused, I remember well And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burning bright He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train Moving with a simple twist of fate A saxophone someplace far off played As she was walking on by the arcade As the light bust through a beat up shade Where he was waking up She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate And forgot about a simple twist of fate He woke up; the room was bare He didnt see her anywhere He told himself he didnt care; pushed the window open wide Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate Brought on by a simple twist of fate He hears the ticking of the clocks And walks along with a parrot that talks Hunts her down by the waterfront docks Where the sailors all come in Maybe shell pick him out again. How long must he wait One more time for a simple twist of fate People tell me its a sin To know and feel too much within I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring She was born in spring, but I was born too late Blame it on a simple twist of fate
