I want you to love me daddy like my easy rider done.
If you don't believe that I love you, look what a fool I've been,

Well, I got a little woman, 'bout my height and size,
Now she's a married woman, sees me once in a while.

If you don't think I'm sinking, look what a hole I'm in.
Stealin', stealin', pretty mama don't you tell on me,

If you don't think I'm sinking, look what a hole I'm in.
I'm stealin', stealin', pretty mama don't you tell on me
Got the blues from my baby
Left me by the San Francisco Bay.
This big ocean liner took her so far away.
Didn't mean to treat her so bad
She was the best girl I ever have had.
She said good-bye, and she made me cry
I'm gonna lay right down and die.
Well, I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime.
If she don't come back I think I'm gonna lose my mind.
If she ever comes back to stay,
Well, that'll be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.
Sittin' in my back door
Wondering which way to go
That woman I'm so crazy about
She don't love me no more.
Lord, I think I'll grab a freight train
Because I'm feeling blue,
Ride all the way to the end of the line
Thinking only about you.
Well, meanwhile in another city
Just about to go insane
Thought I heard my baby
The way she used called my name.
If she ever comin' back to stay
Well, that'll be another brand new day
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
(I really mean it!)
He brings a tear into my eyes
When I begin, lord, to realize.
If you don't think that, honey, you'll be lonesome,
You know I'll drown, drown, oh lord, in my own tears.
I know it's true into his mind
A little rain is bound to fall
But since you been gone honey I'm so blue,
It just keeps rainin', keeps right on rainin' more and more.
I didn't cry just like a child,
My poor tears, lord, they were runnin' wild.
If you don't think that baby you'll be home soon now

Women to be in-a the music business give up more than you'd ever know. She's got kids she gave up. Any woman gives up home life, an old man, probably, because you're so crazy on planes and runnin' and you never find 'em egain. You give up, you give up a home and friends, you give up children and friends, you give up the old man and friends, you give up every constant in the world except music. That's the only thing you've got man, when you boil it down, the only thing you got left in the world is that music, man. And, so for a woman to sing, she really needs to, or wants to.

And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't right,
Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night,
Babe, and I cry all the time!
But each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again.

When I got my baby, Lord, yes,
When I got my baby, oh Lord!

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I'll never drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine.
You can't buy my love with money, for I never was that kind,
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine.
Go ahead!
I don't want your golden mansions with a tear in every room,
All I want's the love you promised, beneath the halo moon.
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheatin' game.
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I'll never drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine.
You can't buy my love with money, for I never was that kind,

That’s why it looks like everybody in this whole round world
They’re down on me.
Saying they’re down on me, down on me.
Looks like everybody in this whole round world
Down on me.

What do you think about your town since you've left and come back ?
It's fantastic! I was across the river from the club last night, I never had more fun in my life! Except sometimes in California I have more fun.
Do you plan to come back soon ?
Oh ? Er, er, er, I have no immediate plans, ha ha ha!!
Did you entertain in high school, at the high school, when you went back at the high school ?
Only when I walked down the aisles, man. No, I did, no, I was, er, I was a painter, and a sort of a recluse in high school. I've changed.
What happened ?
I got liberated! I don't know, I just started to sing and singing makes you want to come out because painting, I feel, keeps you inside, you know ? And once you start singing you just sort of want too talk to people more and go out more and, you know, your lifestyle's becomes more a come-out, flow-out thing instead of a hold-it-and-be-quiet type.
How were you different from your schoolmates when you were a teenager ?
I don't know, why don't you ask them ?
Did they make you different ?
No.
Otherwise were you different in comparison with them, or were you ?
I felt apart from them.
Did you take a part in football games ?
I think not. I didn't go to the high school prom, and er ...
Oh, you were asked, weren't you ?
No, I wasn't. I don't think, I don't think they wanted to take me. Till I'll be a hundred and sufferin'! It's enough to make you wanna sing the blues!
Just let ourselves get together right now.
Ball and Chain!!!
Yeah, I heard that, man. How are you, how, I mean, er, how are you out there ? Are you are you OK ? You know that you stand stoned and you got enough water and you got a place to sleep and everything. What does that mean ? Huh ? Because, you know, because we ought, all of us, you know, I don't mean to be preachy but we ought to remember that in that case it means promoters, too, that music's for grooving, man, and music's not for putting yourself through bad changes. You know, I mean you don't have to go take anybody's shit, man, just to like music, you know what I mean ? You don't. So er, so if you're getting more shit than you deserve, you know what to do about it, man. You know, it's just music. Music's... music's supposed to be different than that.
Hey, come on, come on, come on, come on!
Didn't I make you feel, oh honey, like you were the only man I ever wanted, that I ever needed ?
Oh ho, honey, didn't I give you nearly everything that I ever had to give ?
Oh, you know I did!
But each time I tell myself that I, I think I've had enough,
Well, I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.
I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Have a, have another little piece of my heart now, daddy daddy daddy,
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Yes indeed, whoaa.
You're out on the streets, you're looking good,
Honey, deep down inside I know you know it ain't never been right,
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never hear me cry at night, oh!
Each time I tell myself that I can't stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again.
Say come on, come on, yeah, come on, come on and take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
Break another little piece of my heart, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Have another little piece of my heart, baby, baby, baby,
You know you got it, if it makes you feel good.
I want you to feel good now, yeah!!!
Say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Break another little piece of my heart, darling, yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Have a, have another little piece of my heart, baby, baby, baby.
You know you got it alright!!!
Say! Whoaa, have another little piece of my heart now, daddy,
Break it, break it, break it, I want you to want it, take out the inside of me,
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, baby, baby.
You know you got it, if it makes you
I want you to feel good, Lord, alright!!!
Yeah!!
Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on!
Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man yeah!
Didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ?
Honey, you know I did!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've had enough,
Oh but I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.
I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take it!
Take another little bit of my heart now, baby!
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah.
Oh, oh, have a!
Whoa, have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Oh, yes indeed.
You're out on the streets looking good,
And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't right,
Never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night,
Honey, I cry all the time!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again.
I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it!
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah.
Oh, oh, have a!

Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah.
Oh, oh, have a
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby.
You know you got it whoahhhhh!!

Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh, oh, have a
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it if it makes you feel good.
That's a good tune, man, we'll do that tune, alright, alright, alright.
Wha hey hey!
Alright, alright, OK, give me A, you're all ready ?, are you all ready ?
Yeah we're ready.
Janis it's a shame you couldn't do an up tune for us but I liked that one.
Later in the show.
Yeah, maybe later we'll be talking too. You're really shot after, after a number, let alone a whole evening I would think.
Yeah, yeah.
You tell me you kind of collapse after a show ?
Well, I'm used to it because I'm so turned on by doing one that it's hard to do, it's hard to stop after one to tell you the truth, because it just makes you wanna do more.
Your engine is revved up ?
Yeah, sort of!
I know all the hip expressions, you see. Your engine is revved up.
You're a real swinger, I can tell by your shoes, man!
Wait a minute, Janis, Janis. These were good enough for my grand-father, they're good enough for me.
I had a lot of trouble, last week I, er, it wasn't that tune, we opened with another tune and I tore a muscle.
I heard about this. You tore a mussel somewhere near Maryland. Er ...
It was closer to home than that!
Well, er ...
But I played forty minutes, man! I did forty minutes!
Yeah, but how do you, how do you tear a muscle singing, was it from the exhaustion or ...
No, I went ... like that.
You actually, literally tore a muscle ... I mean like that ...
Every time, it hurt.
Could you feel it go ?
Yeah.
Phew!
Yeah.
What do they do, do they set a muscle or do they tape you up or something ?
They told me to keep still.
Janis you wrote that tune that you were just singing like we just agreed to ask about. You er, you wrote the first tune, right ?
I wrote the first tune. It's, er, yes I did, it's about men.
It's about men. It's a little hard to tell what it was about 'cause I was standing over there where the sound is a little distorted.
Well in my story that's what it is anyway.
Yeah.
D'you ever see those mule carts ?
Yeah.
They, er, there's a dumb mule on there right and a long stick with a string and a carrot, and it hangs over the mule's nose, and it runs after it all day long. Some ...
Who is the man in this, in this parable, the mule, or the person holding the carrot ?
No, the woman is the, is the mule. Chasing something that somebody's holds her way.
Constantly chasing her man ...
Yeah.
... who always eludes her.
Well, they always hold something more than they're prepared to give.
I have to defend my entire sex, ladies and gentlemen! The burden of the defense.
Go right ahead!
Well, one-arm wrestling I can take you two out of three.
I hope so.
Do you, er, do you actually sit down when you get up in the morning and, and write out a song, or do you . . . When you say you write it, you compose it you write it on a paper.
You just make it up, I don't write songs, I make them up.
They don't exist on paper your songs, don't they ?
Sometimes I just write down the words so I don't forget 'em, but I mean I don't write songs, that's a whole different concept. I just make 'em up.
Yeah. Did you ever get back to Port Arthur, Texas ?
No, but I'm going back next in August, man. And guess what I'm doin' ?
I don't know.
I'm going to my 10th annual High School Reunion.
Oh! Oh! Take movies and bring 'em back to show us, will you ?
Hey would you like to go ?
Well, I don't remember, I don't have any friends in your high school class.
I don't either. I don't either, believe me.
You don't either ?
It's hard going, man!
Weren't you a kind of a, weren't you kind of a business administration major or something in high school. No, it's something in your past. You were ...
No, I worked.
Yeah.
But a high school major in Art does have plenty of time.
Yeah. And do you think you'll have a lot to say to your old high-school classmates ?
I don't have a lot, man.
You were not surrounded by friends in high school ?
They laughed me out of class, out of town, and out of state, man.
Hmm ...
Somethin' goin' on.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Like a carrot, baby now
Like a carrot, baby now
Like a carrot, dear.
Oh! Yeah! Yeah! Whew!
ME & BOBBY MCGEE
Janis Joplin
- words and music by Kris Kristofferson
- first popularized by Roger Miller in 1969 (#12 Country hit)
- lyrics as recorded by Janis Joplin on the 1971 album "Pearl"
(Columbia VCK-30322)
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
And I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
It rode us all the way into New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I's playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues, yeah
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I's holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew, yeah
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free, no no
And feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
You know, feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun
There Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
Yeah, Bobby baby kept me from the cold
One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away
He's lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it
But I'd trade all o' my tomorrows for one single yesterday
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', that's all that Bobby left me, yeah
But if feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
Hey, feelin' good was good enough for me, mm-hmm
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
La-da-da La-da-da-da La-da-da da-da da-da
La-da-da da-la-da la-da, Bobby McGee, yeah
La-da-la-da-la-da La-da-la-da-da
La-da-la-da-la-la, Bobby McGee, yeah
La-da-da La-da-da La da-da La da-da
La-da-da La da-da La da-da
Hey, my Bobby, Lord, my Bobby McGee, yeah
Lo-da-lo da-la-lo-da-la
Lo-da-la-lo da-la-lo la-la-lo la-la-lo la-la
Hey, my Bobby, Lord, my Bobby McGee, yeah
Lord, I call him my lover, call him my man
I said I call him my lover, did the best I can, c'mon
Hey now Bobby now, hey now Bobby McGee, yeah
La-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-la
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, Lord!
------ instrumental break ------
La-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, yeah

Man, if you can say, well it's gonna be as good as this concert, but it's better than any fuckin' ever concert, man. [Yeah, London] was the best, nobody's ever fucking got up yet.
No one's ever got up and danced and dug it. No one's ever done anything there and they did it, man! They fuckin' got up and grooved, and then they listened. That was dynamite. You know you could tell when they're really being selfish and they just wanna dance, but they worked, man, and when I'd do a soft song everybody'd shut up! That's too much, man. That's really too fuckin' much.
They expect you to work hard.
God, God! God! God I was so happy! Whew-ew!! Think I'll call my mother, man. D'you know, mom, I got 'em all off their ass! Hey what's that, man ?

Through another lonely day, whoaa.

This is a, a real old tune we used to do a lot, still really care for it. The guys got it off off a guy named Moondog in-a the streets of New York. This is, this beautiful cat who writes poetry and is blind and he looks like a Viking, stands on the corner of 55th and-a 5th Avenue, something like that. 6th Avenue ? He just stands there selling poetry and wearing horns on his head and he's too much and he wrote this song called All Is Loneliness. Really dredging up the past tonight, folks!
Bye, bye-bye, baby, bye-bye.

Still I guess you know honey I’ve gotta go.
Bye, bye-bye, baby, bye-bye.
I guess you know you’re on your own,
It seems you just got lost somewhere out in the world
And you left me here to face it all alone,

I don't understand how come you're gone, man. I don't understand why half the world is still crying, man, when the other half of the world is still crying too, man, I can't get it together. I mean, if you got a cat for one day, man I mean, if you, say, say, if you want a cat for 365 days, right You ain't got him for 365 days, you got him for one day, man. Well I tell you that one day, man, better be your life, man. Because, you know, you can say, oh man, you can cry about the other 364, man, but you're gonna lose that one day, man, and that's all you've got. You gotta call that love, man. That's what it is, man. If you got it today you don't want it tomorrow, man, 'cause you don't need it, 'cause as a matter of fact, as we discovered in the train, tomorrow never happens, man. It's all the same fucking day, man.
So you gotta, when you wanna hold a sigh,
You gotta hold him like it's the last minute in your life, baby.
You gotta hold, whoa, whoa, hold him
'Cause someday some weight's gonna come on your shoulders, babe,

This whole thing that's happened to me, you see, this whole success thing, er, it hasn't yet really compromised the position that I took a long time ago in Texas, that was to be true to myself, to be the person that I f ... that was on inside of me and not play games. You see, actually what I'm trying to do mostly, if I, in the whole world, is to not bullshit myself, and not bullshit anybody else. To be righteous to myself, I mean to be real, you know what I mean ? And so far, you know I'm, I'm just tryin' to ... I'm doin' that, I am, you know. I'm not wearin' cardboard eyelashes, and, and, you know, and girdles, and playin' in Las Vegas. By still bein' Janis, I just happens to be on a slightly different level or somethin' now. And ... you know I suppose it's because I've never been premeditated enough in show-business that I was worried about putting on a, a face, you know what I mean ? So I can sit here and tell you the truth. You know ? Otherwise it's slightly inhibiting, really, it doesn't, it doesn't f
orce a game on me, because I refuse to let it force a game on me. So I can sit here and be just as honest as I would be in a bar, although I'd be a lot happier in a bar!
People come around the window,
People come around the door
People come around and ask me
If I can say some more
'Cause I'm a whisperman, yes I am!
I can read somebody's back hand, and I can read your mind
What you need is body heat, ask for it any time
'Cause I'm a whisperman, yeah, yes I am!
I can see up your staircase, and I can see down your hall,
I can see almost anything, or anything at all,
'Cause I'm a whisperman, yeah, yes I am!
I can see behind your eyelid,
I can see behind your head
I can only check you on the windshield,
Write them on your bed.
And when I work hard all day long
I tell you what, it don’t bother me nohow,
‘Cause how could anything ever go wrong
When I got my baby, Lord, yes,
When I got my baby, oh Lord!
And when they tell me love is pain
I said it might be true for you, honey,
But not for Janis no more, no no no no.
All I’ve ever got to do is call my daddy’s name
Yeah and I got m-my baby, Lord, yeah,
Yes I got my baby, good good God,
Honey, I wanna tell you something that I do.
Deep down, h-honey, in the dark of the night,
When I lay my head down, I wanna go to sleep,
And I know everything is gonna be alright,
Yeah I got my baby, Lord yeah,
‘Cause I got m-my baby, oh yeah.
And when I wanna call the names
Or the things to be that wanna be to you.
And when I wanna reach out my hand
It always seems you hold me, dear,
Love, don’t you know how long I looked for you
Daddy, daddy, daddy.
Love, don’t you know how hard I tried,
But now I got my baby, Lord, yeah,
A woman left lonely will soon grow tired of waiting,
She'll do crazy things, yeah, on lonely occasions.
A simple conversation for the new men now and again
Makes a touchy situation when a good face come into your head.
And when she gets lonely, she's thinking 'bout her man,
She knows he's taking her for granted, yeah yeah,
Honey, she doesn't understand, no no no no!
Well, the fevers of the night, they burn an unloved woman
Yeah, those red-hot flames try to push old love aside.
A woman left lonely, she's the victim of her man, yes she is.
When he can't keep up his own way, good Lord,
She's got to do the best that she can, yeah!
A woman left lonely, Lord, that lonely girl,
I went down to old Joe's bar room, on the corner by the square
Well, the drinks were bein' served as usual, and this motley crowd was there
Well, on my left stood Joe McKennedy, and his eyes were bloodshot red
When he told me that sad story, these were the words he said:
I went down to the St. James infirmary, I saw my baby there
She was stretched out on a long white table, so cold, and fine, and fair
Go ahead!
Let her go, let her go, God bless her, wherever she may be
She can search this world over, never find another man like me
Yes, sixteen coal black horses, to pull that rubber tied hack
Well, it's seventeen miles to the graveyard, but my baby's never comin' back
Well, now you've heard my story, well, have another round of booze

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
And I’s feeling nearly as faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,
It rode us all the way to New Orleans.
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,
I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues.
Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobby’s hand in mine,
We sang every song that driver knew.
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing don’t mean nothing honey if it ain’t free, now now.
And feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,
You know feeling good was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.
>From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun,
Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
Through all kinds of weather, through everything that we done,
Hey Bobby baby kept me from the cold.
One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away,
He’s looking for that home and I hope he finds it,
But I’d trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
To be holding Bobby’s body next to mine.
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing, that’s all that Bobby left me, yeah,
But feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,
Hey, feeling good was good enough for me, hmm hmm,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.
La la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la la la Bobby McGee.
La la la la la, la la la la la

Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na na
Hey now Bobby now, Bobby McGee, yeah.

Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, Lord!

Ooh! Hey, hey, now!
Alright,
You went away, had your chance to say
"I love you and I need you baby"
Yeah, but even if
Honey, I told you daddy now
You wouldn't believe me anyway, no, no, no.
Maybe you will now,
I've changed a lot somehow,
Let me do what I say.
Come back and believe my love,
Please! Now, come back and believe my love,
Come back, and believe the magic of love.
Oh, I want the light without the darkness
I want the sky without the sun, yeah!
When do the stars and the moon reach out ?
When they see me alone without my loved one, yeah!

Oh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,

Honey, I wanna tell you that I want you to dig it!
Now if you believe in magic,
Don't be afraid, afraid to use it, baby,
No, no, no, no, no, no, come on home
Dressed in the mystic silk
Or wearing rich rags and waste
Darling, please!
Come on back to me
I know we can be
Part of a magic race.
Come back, and believe my love
Come back, please believe my love
Come back and believe the magic of love.
Hey! Now come back, babe, and believe my love
Come back, please believe my love
Whoa, the last time that I saw ya
Child, I know, no, you didn't say a word.
And I knew, darlin' as I looked into your eyes
That my feelings, oh, they'd never been heard.
Well, I'm talkin' to you about love,
Did you hear me, I said love,
Because it's got to be such a long, long, way
From denyin', from denyin'.
And I say, don't say no, no, no to me no more.
And I believed in you all the time,
Honey, until I found out, you know, that I was so wrong.
Won't you try and build a life with you,
Guess I should've known it, I guess I should've known it all along.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, let me hold you just once more
Babe, I ask you just once more
Because it's got to be such a long, long way from cryin'
And I been cryin' and I got tears in my eyes.
Yeah, but don't you know when you love somebody that's so precious
They can never, never, never be had very cheaply
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You're gonna have to pay your dues
And sometimes, sometimes I guess you're bound to lose.
Hey, but that's the way
You're gonna learn, learn, learn to love deeply.
Now oh God, I wish I could explain that myself,
'Cause I know that it's my fault, too.
It's so easy to hurt you, darling,
It's so hard, it's hard not to do.
And I know that you showed me a new life
And you'll always, you'll always be my friend.
Yeah, but I don't think, honey, that I can keep from tryin'
And I'll be tryin' and I been cryin' for you, baby,
Yes, I have now.
Well, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
What would I do without you, child ?
I'm afraid that I can't say.
But I hope, honey, that when you will remember
Lord, it'll be, it'll be such a sunny day.
Now, now, now, now, good-bye,
I'll see you sometime
And don't be worried, everything's just fine.
Babe, I don't think
That I can keep from dyin'
And I've been dyin'.

i'm not gonna quiver or complain,
and I just smashed my hand on it's
stupid metal frame that's enough to drive us all insane.
Nothing to sort out and nothing to do right,
always a thorn in my side and it's not right,
so complicated we're tired and unpaid,
tough to admit it accept it not my day.
And now i'm just a target,
I'd bridge to word it so i'm just standing where I just don't know,
I know i'm not for you
and I should be asking how should I stay asleep,
or brave it now.
Nothing to sort out and nothing to do right,
always a thorn in my side and it's not right,
so complicated we're tired and unpaid tough,
Work me Lord, work me Lord.
Please don’t you leave me,
I feel so useless down here
With no one to love
Though I’ve looked everywhere
And I can’t find me anybody to love,
To feel my care.
So ah work me Lord, whoa use me Lord,
Don’t you know how hard it is
Trying to live all alone.
Every day I keep trying to move forward,
But something is driving me, oh, back,
Honey, something’s trying to hold on to me,
To my way of life.
So don’t you forget me down here, Lord,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Ah, ah, don’t you forget me, Lord.
Well I don’t think I’m any very special
Kind of person down here, I know better,
But I don’t think you’re gonna find anybody,
Not anybody who could say that they tried like I tried,
The worst you can say all about me
Is that I’m never satisfied. Whoa.
Whoa, oh, oh, work me Lord, hmm, use me Lord,
Please, honey, don’t you leave me,
I feel so useless down here.
I can’t find me anybody to love me
And I’ve looked around,
I’ve looked everywhere, everywhere
And I can’t find me anyone to love,
To feel my care.
So honey don’t you go and leave me, Lord,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Honey, don’t you go off and leave me, Lord.
Can’t I show you how hard it is
Trying to live when you’re all alone.
Everyday I keep pushing,
Keep trying to move forward
But something is driving me, oh, back,
And something’s trying to hold on to me,
To my way of life, why.
Oh please, please, oh don’t you go and
Forget me down here, don’t forget me, Lord.
I think that maybe you can ease me,
Maybe I can help you, said uh whoa,
Oh please, please, don’t you go and leave me Lord,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, whoa, whoa please,
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small
When men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said:
"Feed your head
Feed your head
Walk right in and sit right down, daddy, let your mind roll on
You'd better walk right in and stay a little while, daddy, you can't stay too long
Now everybody's talkin' 'bout your new way of walkin', do you wanna lose your mind?
Lord, walk right in and sit right down, daddy, let your mind roll on
Walk right in and sit right down, and daddy, let your hair hang low
You'd better walk right in and stay a little while, daddy, you can stay too long
Now everybody's talkin' 'bout a new way of walkin', do you wanna lose your mind?
Lord, walk right in and sit right down, daddy, let your mind roll on
Walk right in and sit right down, daddy, let your mind roll on
You'd better walk right in and stay a little while, daddy, you can't stay too long
Now everybody's talkin' 'bout a two-way woman, do you wanna lose your mind?
Ah, I'm a mean, mean woman
And I don't mean no one man, no good, no.
I'm a mean, mean woman,
I don't mean no one man, no good.
I just treats 'em like I wants to
I never treats 'em, honey like I should.
Oh, Lord, I once had a daddy,
He said he'd give me everything in sight.
Once had a daddy,
Said he'd give me everything in sight.
Yes, he did
So I said, "Honey, I want the sunshine,
you take the stars out of the night.
Come on and give 'em to me, babe, 'cause I want 'em right now."
I ain't the kind of woman
Who'd make your life a bed of ease, ha ha ha ha!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm not the kind of woman, no,
To make your life a bed of ease.
Yeah, but if you, if you just wanna go out drinkin', honey,
Won't you invite me along please.

Whoa, go on!
I guess I'm just like a turtle
That's hidin' underneath its hard-ass shell.
Whoa, whoa, oh yeah, like a turtle
Hidin' underneath its horny shell.
But you know I'm very well protected -
I know this goddamn life too well.
Oh! Now call me mean, you can call me evil, yeah, yeah,

Yeah, but I'm gonna take good care of Janis, yeah,
Honey, ain't no one gonna dog me down.
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always,
'Cause that sun is gonna shine in my back door someday
Now all you men's the same
But now I'm old enough to change my name
Lord, that sun's gonna shine in my back door someday
I'm gonna lay my head
On that lonesome railroad line
And let the 2:19 ease my troubled mind
Trouble in mind, I'm blue,
But I won't be blue always
My hands are tied behing my back my face is red with hate
I know i've tried to be the better man but I can't accept this fate
It's seems every time I cross the line and wonder that

And I can see that misery is plaguing you
And i'm supposed to be there when you have no one
Take my hand i'll take from where you stand

Down on me but that's the way it's gotta be

My hands are tied behing my back my face is red with hate
I know i've tried to be the better man but I can't accept this fate
It's seems every time I cross the line and wonder that
Am supposed to figure which way you want to go
And I can see that misery is plaguing you
And i'm supposed to be there when you have no one
Take my hand i'll take from where you stand
My mind is made up and I can't take the people falling
Down on me but that's the way it's gotta be

Takin' my friend John out for a mighty good time
Buyin' high-priced liquor, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low, didn't have a friend, nor no place to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm goin' to hold on to it until the eagle grins
Soon as I get back up on my feet again, everybody wants to be my long-lost friend
It's might strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
Lord, soon as I get up on my feet again, everybody wants to be my long-lost friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
You say that it’s over baby, Lord,

I don't know how, i don't know how ?
How can i trust my eyes, do they really see
What is the truth ? it's hard for me,
Hard for me, hard for me.
It's hard to understand what's really there,
When all my hopes they just cloud the air,
Cloud the air, cloud the air.
Love is all around me, till we understand
It's easy to see baby, but talk to me.
And love is all around us if we could be free
Love is all around us if we just, if we just try to see.
Ooh wah ooh

It doesn't really matter, tell me yes or no.
It doesn't really matter, babe i got to know
It doesn't really matter, this is love,
You said when you met you'd never forget me
And I thought my problems were gone
But you changed all the while and you did it in style
How could I think that this was wrong
Some times it stops we can't compromise that
But I think back to all the relations we had
That we had
They say things could change neither one of us claims
That the other was wrong at all
But you blend different bits 2 complete opposites
And you're asking for both to fall
Some times it stops we can't compromise that
But I think back to all the relations we had
And remember this moment opinions we mine
You put up all these changes i'll fall back in line
But I can't make my thoughts just go away
Some times it stops we can't compromise that
But I think back to all the relations we had
And remember this moment opinions we mine
You put up all these changes i'll fall back in line

I need explanation to adjust my way of thought

and it's ten years later and I haven't left your side
even though you gave me reason to
and I'm standing over your body's losing life
I guess things are hard to name a few

To leave me one more time, I can’t stand no more
Say no more, well no more,

And not for very long
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no.
Our love affair said it's just history, yes it is.
And I tried to love you in my own way,
I think that you know I did.
But to have you here, to see you living,
Oh so near to me, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh but you are distant and so it's dead
And so often people are glad to be old, yeah yeah,
Our love affair is just history, yes it is.
Once in a green time a flower
Oh, fell in love with the sun.
The passion lasted for an hour
And then she wilted from her loved one.
Once in a green time a flower
Oh, fell in love with the sun.
The passion lasted for an hour
And then she wilted from her loved one.
And I see you looking up at the sky, how high it is, yeah.
You wonder if there is, whoa another me
Now how can that be, how can it be ?
Well, I sit here and I ask you, why all this ?

Our love affair said it's just a history
But baby, baby, I said it's over, Charlie,
I can't stand another lo-lo-lonely,
I'm never too lonely.
It's over baby,
Where were you when I wanted ya
And needed ya right by my side ?
I said-a, baby, baby, don't you feel me moving,
Baby, don't you hear me cry ?
I know I hurt you, but Lord don't you know I cried,
I know I hurt you, but babe don't you know I tried,
Dear Landlord
Please don't put a price on my soul.
My burden is heavy, dear,
And my dreams are beyond my control,
Oh yes, they are.
But when that steam-boat whistle blows,
Oh, honey I'm gonna give you everything I ever had to give, yeah,
And I do hope that you can receive it well,
I know that it must be dependin' on the way you feel that you live.
Whoa, Landlord,
Please heed these words that I try to speak.
I know you must have suffered much,
But honey you ain't alone, you ain't so unique.
No, no, no, no, no.
All of us at times, I said, we might have worked too hard
Or too heavy, too fast and way too rushed, yeah!
But everyone can fill their life with anything
You can look around, but baby you just cannot touch.
Whoa, my Dear Landlord,
Please don't you dismiss my case.
I'm not about to argue with you,
And honey I'll tell ya, I'm ain't gonna move to no other place.
'Cause I just ain't gonna do it, no, no, no.
Each of us has his own special gift,
Oh honey, don't you know that it's got to be true
And if you don't underestimate me, I'll tell you one thing,
Oh, it's daddy, daddy, daddy, it's daddy, daddy, all the time
Lord, that's daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, all the time
If I'm awake or if I'm dreamin' Lord, my daddy daddy's on my mind
Well, I brag 'bout my daddy to all the women that I see
Yeah, I brag 'bout my daddy to all the women that I see
Never say those damn women Lord, they're tryin' to steal my daddy away from me
That's my daddy, daddy, daddy, Lord, it's daddy, daddy, all the time
That's my daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, all the time
If I'm awake or just dreamin' Lord, daddy daddy's on my mind
Well, if your daddy likes walkin', honey, walks five miles a day
Yeah, if your daddy likes walkin', walks five miles a day
No matter what he wants, child, he walks off far way
Oh, it's daddy, daddy, daddy, Lord, it's daddy, daddy, all the time
It's my daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, all the time
If I'm awake or if I'm dreamin' Lord, daddy daddy's on my mind
Well, I got a lovin' daddy, treats me like a daddy should
Yeah, I got a lovin' daddy, treats me like a daddy should
You know he kisses me at bed time, gives me candy when I'm good
Oh, it's daddy, daddy, daddy, Lord, it's daddy, daddy, all the time
Lord, it's daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, all the time
Cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Honey, welcome back home.
I know she told you,
Honey I know she told you that she loved you
Much more than I did,
But all I know is that she left you,
And you swear that you just don’t know why,
But you know, honey I’ll always,
I’ll always be around if you ever want me
Come on and cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Oh honey, welcome back home.
Don’t you know, honey,
Ain’t nobody ever gonna love you

Honey, your heartache, too ?
And if you need me, you know
That I’ll always be around if you ever want me
Come on and cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Oh daddy, like you always saying to do.
And when you walk around the world, babe,
You said you’d try to look for the end of the road,
You might find out later that the road’ll end in Detroit,
Honey, the road’ll even end in Kathmandu.
You can go all around the world
Trying to find something to do with your life, baby,
When you only gotta do one thing well,
You only gotta do one thing well to make it in this world, babe.
You got a woman waiting for you there,
All you ever gotta do is be a good man one time to one woman
And that’ll be the end of the road, babe,
I know you got more tears to share, babe,
So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on,
And cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby.
And if you ever feel a little lonely, dear,
I want you to come on, come on to your mama now,
And if you ever want a little love of a woman
Come on and baby baby baby babe babe baby now
Oh well it's much too early, not right now,
How can I love you when I, I don't know how,
I don't know how, I don't know how ?
How can I trust my eyes, do they really see
What is the truth ? It's hard for me,
Hard for me, hard for me.
It's hard to understand what's really there,
When all my hopes they just cloud the air,
Cloud the air, cloud the air.
Love is all around me, till we understand
It's easy to see baby, but talk to me.
And love is all around us if we could be free
Love is all around us if we just, if we just try to see.
Ooh wah ooh

Now it's your turn,

That this time your love won't hurt me more,
Hurt me more, hurt me more, oh, come on!

And I don't wanna hold you, yeah!

So when you love me all night long

Honey, where are you ?
But doesn't really matter when I need you so
It doesn't really matter, tell me yes or no.
It doesn't really matter, babe I got to know
It doesn't really matter, this is love,
Oh, the cuckoo, she’s a pretty bird, and she warbles when she flies
But she never hollers cuckoo till the fourth day of July.

Honey you robbed me of my silver and out of all my gold,
All of my gold, all of my gold.

Overhead to my surprise a plane was flying by
While I contemplated diving in the pool
But you'd think I'd see that my thoughts have gone awry
And I can't explain why I feel like a fool
I'm singing I know I'll feel better when I look into your eyes
And I'm feeling optimistic 'cause you're cool
But I won't now I don't know what it takes to be a man
And I don't know why my dick shrinks in the pool
Overwhelmed by stupid fear and introspective thought
I dismiss the accusations I'm not though
But I think the courage displayed was unjust
Cause I seem to have a problem getting up
Singing I know I'll feel better when I look into your eyes
And I'm feeling optimistic 'cause you're cool
But I won't now I don't know what it takes to be a man
And I don't know why my dick shrinks in the pool
And I don't know why my dick shrinks in the pool
