Claudio Paul Caniggia (Italian pronunciation: [kaˈniddʒa]; born 9 January 1967 in Henderson, Buenos Aires) is a former Argentine football forward, who played 50 times for the Argentine national team. He appeared in three World Cups, and was a member of both rival clubs River Plate and Boca Juniors. Caniggia was known for his speed as a player and competed in Athletics before his football career. He ran his best time for the hundred meters of 10.70s whilst competing in athletic tournaments at the provincial level. At that level he also ran the 200 meters and also competed in long jump. However, he did not reach the National level in athletic tournaments because he had dedicated himself full-time to football, playing for River Plate. Caniggia, as a football player, could run 100 meters in 11.2 seconds. Currently he lives in Marbella, Spain.
At club level, Caniggia played for River Plate (1985–88), Hellas Verona (1988–89), Atalanta (1989–92 and 1999–2000), AS Roma (1992–93), S.L. Benfica (1994–95), Boca Juniors (1995–98), Dundee (2000–01) and Rangers (2001–03). He has become a club legend and cult-hero at many of the clubs he has played at.
Benjamin Massing (born 20 June 1962 in Edéa) is a Cameroonian retired footballer who played as a central defender.
Massing, who played professionally for, among others, France's US Créteil-Lusitanos (1987–91), was picked up for Cameroon's squad for the 1990 FIFA World Cup, where he was famously sent off in the opening match, for a spectacular foul on Argentina's Claudio Caniggia (in a 1–0 shock win).
Massing, also appeared in the quarterfinal loss against England (2–3), where he was booked, conceding a penalty for committing a foul on Gary Lineker. Previously, in the match against Argentina, he received another caution, after bringing down Diego Maradona.
Internationally, Massing, who gained 21 international caps in four 1/2 years, also took part in three Africa Cup of Nations, namely the 1992 edition, while playing for Olympic Mvolyé.
Victor-Marie Hugo (French pronunciation: [viktɔʁ maʁi yɡo]) (26 February 1802 – 22 May 1885) was a French poet, playwright, novelist, essayist, visual artist, statesman, human rights activist[citation needed] and exponent of the Romantic movement in France.
In France, Hugo's literary fame comes first from his poetry but also rests upon his novels and his dramatic achievements. Among many volumes of poetry, Les Contemplations and La Légende des siècles stand particularly high in critical esteem, and Hugo is sometimes identified as the greatest French poet. Outside France, his best-known works are the novels Les Misérables and Notre-Dame de Paris (also known in English as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame).
Though a committed royalist when he was young, Hugo's views changed as the decades passed; he became a passionate supporter of republicanism[citation needed], and his work touches upon most of the political and social issues and artistic trends of his time. He is buried in the Panthéon.
Hugo was the third, illegitimate, son of Joseph Léopold Sigisbert Hugo (1774–1828) and Sophie Trébuchet (1772–1821); his brothers were Abel Joseph Hugo (1798–1855) and Eugène Hugo (1800–1837). He was born in 1802 in Besançon (in the region of Franche-Comté) and lived in France for the majority of his life. However, he decided to live in exile as a result of Napoleon III's Coup d'état at the end of 1851.
Hugo Alberto Morales (born 30 July 1974 Buenos Aires) is an Argentine retired footballer who played as a midfielder.
I have a story I'd like to tell broken heart's knowin' only too well
And she knows why I feel the way I do
She gave me love and took it away blue sky has turned to a solid grey
And she knows why I feel the way I do
Well I know I'm a walkin' down the lovesick trails been walked down by many before
But when she sees my side of tracks she'll know I've learned the score
I pick my tears put 'em on the shelf keep my heartaches to myself
And she knows why I feel the way I do[ guitar ]
When she finds somebody new he'll find out what I went through
And she knows why I feel the way I do
She gave me love and took it away blue skies had turned to a solid grey
And she knows why I feel the way I do
Well I know I'm a walkin' down...
There is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many poor boys and Lord I know I'm one
My mother she was a tailor she sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gambler way down in New Orleans
The only thing a gambler needs is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he'll be satisfied is when he's on a drunk
There is a house in New Orleans...
[ dobro ]
Poor mother go tell all your children not to do what I have done
Spend your life in sin and misery in a house of the Rising Sun
Well I got one foot on the black farm the other foot on a train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans wear that ball and chain
There is a house in New Orleans...
I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone
Hollerin' hey hey mama can your daddy come home
Well I'm living fast and dangerously I've got plenty of company
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
That's when I want to see the lights of town
Cause I'm a honky tonk man...
[ guitar ]
It takes a purty little gal and a jug of wine
That's what it takes to make a honky tonk mind
The jukebox a moanin' honky tonk sound
That's when I want to lay my money down
(Oooh where's that tiger now)
Where's that tiger where's that tiger where's that tiger where's that tiger
Hold that tiger hold that tiger hold that tiger hold that tiger
Hold him choke him kick him pokin'
Where's that tiger where's that tiger where oh where can he be
Low or highbrow they all cry now where can that tiger be
[ choir ]
Whip it hard till it moans whip it hard till it groans let her grip start to clip its claw
Where's that tiger...
[ guitar ]
Where's that tiger where's that tiger where oh where can he be
Well I'm trapped in web of my own makin' all because your love was easy takin'
You had me believing that I was the only one I didn't know you were only having fun
I made a mistake when I went to your house
You played with my emotions like a cat with a mouse
You quit me cold and said we are through
You put me on highway lonely goin' somewhere new
Highway lonely oh where does it goes I've asked everybody nobody knows
If there's anybody that wonders bout me
I'm walkin' on highway lonely that's where I'll be
[ piano ]
I wish I could stop thinkin' bout you thinkin' of all the good times we've had
But while I'm sitting here with all my thinking you're doing somebody bad
Highway lonely oh where does it goes...
Take the ribbon from your hair shake it loose and let it fall
Laying soft against your skin like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light
All I'm taking is your time help me make it through the night
I don't care what's right or wrong I won't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow cause tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone help me make it through the night
[ piano ]
It's sad to be alone help me make it through the night
Heart don't get your hopes up eyes now don't you shine
Feet don't start to dancin' till she tells me she'll be mine
Lips don't start to smilin' voice don't sing too soon
So heart don't get your hopes up till she says she loves me too
Don't start making plans to hurt me there's a lotta bridges yet to cross
Don't count your chicken fore fore they'll start to hatch
Better keep your cote behind the horse
Truth she hardly knows it she needs a little time
So heart don't get your hopes up till I'm certain she'll be mine
Sweet lovin' sweet lovin' can't you hear my pleadin'
You know that I'm needin' some sweet lovin' tonight
Flowers love sunshine violets love dew angels in heaven know I love you
You are the flower of my life and I want some sweet lovin' tonight
Sweet lovin' sweet lovin'...
I love the way you smile when you talk I love the way you look when you walk
I want to tell you darling it's true I love everything about you
Sweet lovin' sweet lovin'...
[ banjo ]
I don't need money or things that can buy I don't want silver and I'll tell you why
All that I need to make everything right is to have some sweet lovin' tonight
Don't come around me with those sweet lies I don't wanna hear them anymore
I tried so hard to make a good girl out of you
It's all around now that's the way the wind blows
You want to hurt me one more time now why you do girl goodness knows
Again they'll return that a poor boy have to give
Now I'm movin' on that's the way the wind blows
That's the way the wind blows that's the way the love goes
One day it's warm the next it's cold
I'll find it hard little girl to say goodbye
But I'm on my way that's the way the wind blows
[ guitar ]
You made a fool of me too many times now I guess my love for you still shows
But this time I'm leaving you just wait and see
I'm a long time gone that's the way the wind blows
Oh you tell me that you're leavin' and tomorrow you'll be gone
But if you decide to change your mind I'll be here come on home
You accused me that I cheated that's the last thing I'd ever do
You're the only love I'll ever know I could never cheat on you
Do anything that you want to but don't leave me all alone
For if you stay gone for a hundred years I'll be here come on home
[ guitar - harmonica ]
I wish you tell me what's come over you I don't really know what is wrong
If you don't find love I love you certainly I'll be here come on home
Tiger woman, I heard that you were back in town
(Tiger woman)
Tiger woman, I heard that you were back in town
(Tiger woman)
Just like a tiger woman girl
You're still puttin', puttin' around
Tiger woman, I wonder why I love you still
(Tiger woman)
Tiger woman, I wonder why I love you still
(Tiger woman)
Just like a tiger woman
I guess you come back home for the kill
Well, you tore me up in little bitty pieces
You dragged me all over the ground
I was a big man but now I ain't nothin'
You sure know how to put a good man down
Tiger woman, put your long short claws out of me
(Tiger woman)
Tiger woman, put your long short claws out of me
(Tiger woman)
Just like a tiger woman
What you leave ain't so good to see
Well, you tore me up in little bitty pieces
You dragged me all over the ground
I was a big man but now I ain't nothin'
You sure know how to put a good man down
Tiger woman, well you better just keep movin' on
(Tiger woman)
Tiger woman, I said you better just keep movin' on
(Tiger woman)
Just like a tiger tamer
I'm gonna put you where you belong
Hey, look here woman, I don't like the way
You come slink around me
I don't like that look
I have seen the warships on Manila Bay watched the sun a setting on the way
I've sailed the seven seas I've crossed the Great Divide
There's nothing like this land of yours and mine
There's nothing like this land yours and my land
From the New York harbor to the Frisco Bay
Up to Mississippi cross the wide Missoury
There's nothing like this land of yours and mine
[ flute ]
I've stood alone in Texas I've seen the Broadway lights
Heard a lonesome freight train in the night
I've watched the tall corn grow heard a voice that whispers low
There's nothing like this land of yours and mine
Oh there ain't gonna be no more no there ain't gonna be no more
No more tears will I cry over you
I don't need nobody to tell me we're through I can see it shining in your eyes
There's been so many tears that I've lost over you they would make the oceans rise
But there ain't gonna be no more...
[ piano ]
Well I saw you last night at the place we used to go
But the one in your arms wasn't me
I just stood there a trembling afraid to stay or go
And the tears started coming down on me
But there ain't gonna be no more...
[ harmonica ]
We're in the right place at the right time and it's easy to go wrong
The soft light shine just right tonight on your lovely face
And a haunting sound of music seem to fill the place
We're both eager to forget life that waits at home
We're in the right place at the right time and it's easy to go wrong
Yes everything is much too right tonight
As we watch our hearts sink slowly out of sight
And being eager to forget life that waits at home
We're in the right place at the right time and it's easy to go wrong
[ ac.guitar ]
Your kiss is fine there's warm desire in each embrace
And the wine is fine and that makes us want to stay
We both know that it's not right but this feeling is so strong
We're in the right place at the right time and it's easy to go wrong
Just at the close of a bright summer day just as the twilight had faded away
Soft on the breeze like the cool of a dove someone was singin' an old song of love
Tell me you love me and say you'll be true I love nobody in this world but you
Your heart and my heart and love will entwine
You give me your love and I'll give you mine
Stroll along with me to the quiet shady nook
Where flowers bloom at the side of the brook
Nature is safe dear the birds are red dressed
I place a wild rose on your beautiful breast
High up on the mountain tell me what you see
Bear tracks bear tracks are lookin' back at me
Better get your rifle boy before it's too late
The bear's got a little big and headed through the gate
He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump
Doin' ninety miles an hour takin' thirty feet a jump
He ain't never been caught and he ain't never been treed
Some folks say he looks a lot like me
[ harmonica ]
I saved up my money and bought me some bees
They started makin' honey way up in the trees
I cut down my tree and my honey's all gone
Ole Slew Foot's done made himself at home
He's big around the middle...
[ harmonica ]
Winter's comin' on and it's twenty below
The river's froze over so where can he go
We'll chase him up the gully and we'll run him in the well
We shoot him at the bottom and we'll listen to him yell
(You're treating me wrong you're breaking my heart)
The clothes that I wear are shabby and old but I'll never spend your silver and gold
Each night I'm alone we're drifting apart
You're treating me wrong you're breaking my heart
You've shattered my hopes my dreams are all gone my life is so bare how can I go on
You never will change it's too late to start
You're treating me wrong you're breaking my heart
[ piano ]
Once I was free the one in your dreams
But now that I'm yours you forgot me it seems
The things you have done have torn us apart
Would you care if I should leave you would you care if we should part
Would your heartache just a little tell me darling would you care
Lift your eyes to mine my darling let me see the love like that
For you know I love you dearly and to me there's none so fair
Yet in time I often wonder would you care if I dare
Tell you that my love had vanished tell me sweetheart would you care
Would you care if I should leave you would you care if we should part
Would you care if someone told you that another won my heart
Would you care if you found me mostly held in someone's arms
Would your heartache just a little tell me darling would you care
[ ac.guitar ]
Just suppose that I should leave you and tomorrow I'd be gone
Would your sweet lips still remember the kisses that we've known
Would you want me back my darling would your heart still feel the same
Would the lonely tears shown in your eyes each time you hear my name
I have thought I was a big big man much too big to cry
Then I fell in love with you thought you loved me too then you said goodbye
I can't forget the day that you walked away from your love I'll never be free
You're making great big tears out of little bitty tears where no tears used to be
One little tear two little tears that's the way it started
Three big tears four big tears they kept getting larger
Now there's so many tears in my eyes that I can hardly see
You're making great big tears out of little bitty tears where no tears used to be
[ ac.guitar ]
I wish I could count my tears but I can't count that high
There just seems to be no limit to all the tears I cry
I only hope someday the tears will wash away all the hurt inside of me
You're making great big tears out of little bitty tears where no tears used to be
They say don't go on Wolverton Mountain
If you're looking for a wife
'Cause Clifton Clowers has a pretty young daughter
He's mighty handy with a gun and a knife
Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there
The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clowers
If a stranger should enter there
All of my dreams are on Wolverton Mountain
I want his daughter for my wife
I'll take my chances and climb that mountain
Though Clifton Clowers, he might take my life
Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there
The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clowers
If a stranger should wander there
I'm going up on Wolverton Mountain
It's too lonesome down here below
It's just not right to hide his daughter
From the one who loves her so
Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there
The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clowers
If a stranger should wander there
I don't care about Clifton Clowers
I'm gonna climb up on his mountain
I'm gonna take the girl I love
I don't care about Clifton Clowers
I'm a gonna climb up on that mountain
The snowflakes fall as winter calls and time just seems to fly
Is it the loneliness in me that makes me want to cry
My heart is sad like a mourning dove that's lost it's mate in flight
Heard the cooing of his heart through the stillness of the night
Whispering pines whispering pines tell me is it so
Whispering pines whispering pines you're the one who knows
My darling's gone oh she's gone and I need your sympathy
Whispering pines send my baby back to me
[ ac.guitar ]
See that squirrel up in the tree his mate there on the ground
Hear their barking call of love of the happiness they found
Is my love still my love oh this I gotta know
Send a mesaage by the wind because I love her so
As I look around me at unfamiliar faces my mind goes back to my boyhood days
And the lust and the crazy far off places
Oh the simple country boy to a life of disgrace
I was raised on a farm way down in Louisiana down where the sweet magnolias grow
Just me and Mud and mama and papa little blue eyed Judy who lived down the road
I got Judy in trouble in the early days of summer
Oh she and mama cried and begged me not to go
Later on someone told me Mud and Judy got married
And they had a little girl with hair shining gold
I drank and I gambled and I knew many women I lived too fast for a boy just 21
And then one night I shot a man in Reno the very first time I had ever far to go
Mud came to see me last Sunday morning
He said Judy and the baby were waiting outside
His eyes filled with tears when I asked about mama
He said mama's heart's been broken she just laid down and died
I hear a cell door open soon it will be over I'll have to pay for the wrongs I have done
To Mud and Judy and mama and papa
And I'll hope you'll remember this when you're 21
One of these days I'm gonna take me a trip
I might as well cause you don't want me no more
Your kind of lovin' won't be easy to forget when you gotta go you gotta go
I might catch a train and go to New York City or LA or Folsom I don't know
Babe you might find me down in old Chicago when you gotta go you gotta go
[ dobro ]
I don't know where these weary feet're gonna take me
I got no money not a penny can I show
All I can say is I do know that I'm bound when you gotta go you gotta go
If your new love ever put you down think of me and let the sweet tears flow
Just take this same this same old road that I'm traveling
I mushed from Point Barron through a blizzard of snow
Been out prospecting for two years or so
Pulled into Fairbanks the city was a boon
So I took a little stroll to the Red Dog Saloon
As I walked through that door the music was clear
The prettiest voice I had heard in two years
The song she was singin' made a man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below
(When it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below)
It was red headed Loui who was singing so sweet
I reached down and took the snowpacks off my feet
I reached for the gal that was singing the tune
We did the Escimo hop all around the saloon
Where the cariboo crawl and the grizzly bear hug
We did our dance on a Kodiac rug
The song she kept singing made a man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below
[ banjo ]
I was as innocent as I could be I didn't know Lou was Big Ed's wife to be
He took his knife and he gave it a throw
When it's springtime in Alaska I'll be six feet below
Turn it around in your mind turn it around and see what you find
Look at our love from my point of view see all the hurt I'm going through
Just turn it around in your mind turn it around in your mind
Every love has got two sides and a love just cannot live
One side always takes and never gives
Put yourself here in my place and just think how it would be
If I'd always hurt you like you've hurt me
Turn it around in your mind...
[ steel - guitar ]
You know that I'll always forgive you don't care if you're untrue
Cause you know I'll swallow all my pride for you
If you care for me at all then just picture if you can
How one side at our love looks from where I stand
You have painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplatin' going out somewhere
The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down
Oh Ruby don't take your love to town
It's hard to love a man whose legs're bent and paralized
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age Ruby I realize
But it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not around
Oh Ruby don't take your love to town
For it wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chores
I know Ruby I'm not the man I used to be but Ruby I still need your company
She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door
Way I know I heard it slam one hundred times before
If I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
(Way up north way up north) north to Alaska go north the rush is on
(North to Alaska a-go north the rush is on)
Big Sam left Seattle in the year of ninety-two
With George Pratt his partner and brother Billy too
They crossed the Yukon River and found the bonanza gold
Below that old White Mountain just a little southeast of Nome
Sam crossed the majestic mountains to valleys far below
He talked to his team of huskys as he mushed on through the snow
With the northern lights a running wild in the land of the midnight sun
Yes Sam McCord was a mighty man in the year of nineteen-one
Where the river is winding big nuggets they're finding
North to Alaska go north the rush is on north to Alaska go north the rush is on
(Way up north way up north) north to Alaska a-go north the rush is on
North to Alaska a-go north the rush is on
George turned to Sam with his gold in his hand
Said Sam you're a looking at a lonely lonely man
I'd trade all the gold that's buried in this land
For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Jenny's hand
Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time
Remember Sam a true love is so hard to find
I'd build for my Jenny a honeymoon home
Below that old White Mountain just a little southeast of Nome
The grapes in Mary's vineyard are the sweetest on the vine
Old man Oscar Dill lived back in the Tennessee hills
He's got him two or three stills and he makes heavy water
Oh I worked for him one time runnin' sour mash across the line
And he warned me to pay no mind to his three daughters
Yeah one was eighteen and one was twenty two one was just my age
One by one I opened the door to the gilded cage (yes I did now)
He don't know and I ain't gonna tell him what I've done one time
Cause he thinks he raised three little angels ah I think that's fine
I made love to his sweet Martha and pretty little Caroline
But the grapes in Mary's vineyard are the sweetest on the vine
Now old man Oscar Dill said he wouldn't hesitate to kill
Anybody messin' round his stills or his three daughters
But even so late at night when the moon wasn't shining too bright
I'd sneaked around get brave all right sippin' his heavy water
Yeah one was eighteen...
Decent girls let me being your dear there's some things that you oughta hear
You wanna man and you sure should know
There's some little things that ever girl should know
If you wan't a man take my advice don't be too hasty but don't be too nice
There's a certain little more in between oh I'm sure you know just what I mean[ guitar ]
You oughta know how to hold him tight you ought to know how to fix just right
How don't make his heart giddy up go
Yeah there's little things that ever girl should know
Don't play it wrong and love too fast if you do it'll might not last
Don't mess around and love too slow there's little things that ever girl should know[ piano ]
Bum bum bum baby here I come if you pay attantion then you'll know what to done
Give me a clue and away we'll go I'll show you things that ever girl should know
The strangest thing in all the world is a heart so small
It will just keep right on breaking if you ever let it fall
And I guess I've never known how to solve the mystery
Oh how a thing so tiny could control so much of me
A little bitty love can grow the strongest
A little bitty time away from you can be the longest
Oh how I wish I had never come to know how a little bitty heart can break so big
[ ac.guitar ]
I wish that I could find a way to get a heart that's new
I would lock it deep inside me just out of reach of you
But I guess there is no way how to solve the mystery
Oh how a thing so tiny could control so much of me
A little bitty love can grow...
Laura hold these hands count my fingers Laura touch these lips you once desired
Lay your head upon my chest hear my heart beat
Gently run your fingers through my hair
Touch these ears that's listened to your wishes most of them fullfilled and that's a lot
Let your soft and gentle hands caress my body then tell me what he's got I ain't got
Tell me what he's got I can't give you it must be something I was born without
You took an awful chance to be with another man
So tell me what he's got I ain't got
Laura see the walls I've built for you Laura see the carpet that I layed
See those fancy curtains on the window touch those satin pillows on your bed
Laura count the dresses in your closet note the name upon the checkbook in your bag
And if there's time before I pull this trigger tell me what he's got I ain't got
Tell me what he's got I can't give you it must be something I was born without
If there's time before I pull this trigger then tell me what he's got I ain't got
He's got a heart in each hand and two in the air the juggler
A many hearts he breaks he just don't care the juggler
So beware his magic charms stay here in these arms
Safely from the harm of the juggler
I seen the hearts the he's juggled around
Not a pretty sight when he drops them to the ground
So please don't hesitate and wait till it's too late
Let me save you from the beat of the juggler
He's got a heart in each hand...
Yeah safely from the harm of the juggler
I can wait for the train to come in sight cause my baby's comin' home tonight
I'll be standing in this rain and I'll meet the midnight train
That will bring my baby home tonight
I can hear a whistle down the line Mr Engeneer be on time
It's so cold in this rain but my baby's on your train
It'll be good to have my baby home tonight
[ ac.guitar - harmonica ]
I can see her stepping out the door I can wait to kiss her lips once more
But who is that man that is holding her hand
And says it's good to have my baby home tonight
Oh yes it's good to have my baby home tonight
I'm not in your town to stay said a lady old and gray
To the warden of the penitentiary
I'm not in your town to stay and I'll soon be on my way
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
(Yes warden I'm just here to get my baby out of jail)
I tried to raise him right and I prayed both day and night
That he'd never follow the footsteps of his dad
I have searched both far and wide and I feared that he had died
Now at last I found my baby here in jail
(Yes warden at last I found my baby here in jail)
It was just five years today since my husband passed away
He was found beneath the snow so cold and white
Made a vow to keep his ring his golden watch and his chain
But the county laid my husband in the ground
(Yes warden the county laid my husband in the ground)
[ guitar ]
I will pawn you my watch I will pawn you my chain
I will pawn you my golden diamond ring
I will wash all your clothes I will scrub all your floors
If that will get my baby out of jail
(Yes warden if that will get my baby out of jail)
Then we heard the warden say to that lady old and gray
I will bring your baby boy to your side
Two big iron gates swung wide apart she held her darlin' to her heart
She kissed her baby boy and then she died
Nobody knows where I came from nobody even knows my name
Nobody cares where I'm goin' or if I'll ever pass this way again
I guess that I was born to wander never seem like I could settle down
I'm as free as the wind when it's blowin' I won't be long in your town
Hey hey little girl I won't marry I never will be that kind
Love me now if you want to then I'll be movin' on down the line
[ ac.guitar ]
I don't wanna cause you no trouble the road I travel has no end
Little girl I don't know when I'll be leaving or if I'll ever pass this way again
Kiss me one time fore I'll leave you little girl don't cry when I'm gone
The good things in life are not many the way with no son with no home
Love me now if you want to don't ever try to tie me down
I'm as free as the wind when it's blowin' I won't be long in your town
I can't get over the way you got over me (so soon)
You just turned your back and then you walked away
I get my all to show my love was true (for you)
You'll never know how much I'm missing you
Oh I've got to learn how to learn how to get over you
Poor little me I loved you too much too long
I can't get over the way you got over me (so soon)
You just turned your back and then you walked away
[ piano ]
Oh I've got to learn...
Thought about goin' back to you thought about holdin' you in my arms
Thought about kissing you too and got to my feet in the thought that you cheat Couldn't do it and I backed out
Thought about leaving this city catch the very next plane out of town
Took my suitcases down and got to the door hadn't seen you once more
Couldn't leave you and I backed out
Backed out of it ride into it from the devil to the deep blue sea
Can't live with you and can't live without you don't know what's gonna happen to me
(Don't know what's gonna happen to me)
[ ac.guitar ]
Backed out of it ride into it from the devil to the deep blue sea
Can't live with you and can't live without you don't know what's gonna happen to me
At the bottom of Green Mountain William Deacon stands and stares into the rain
With coal grey eyes yellow teeth and a face that shows the strain
Of his fight against the people who would cut Green Mountain down
To pave the way for what they say is a short cut in the town
There's sugar in the gas tanks of the dozers and the graders and the mud
The bridge they finished yesterday was washed away by last night's ragin' flood
And the dam went out with dynamite stolen from the work crew's shack
But the coal grey eyes of William Deacon never once looked back
They're gonna move Green Mountain he can't stand in the way
But William Deacon swears Green Mountain's gonna stay
They're gonna move Green Mountain at least that's what they say
But there it stands lookin' twice as big as it did yesterday
Four hundred years and more the Deacon Clan has claimed Green Mountain as their own
But the highway department don't have the sense to leave well enough alone
With an iron hand he raised ten kids and taught 'em right from wrong
And when trouble come the Deacon Clan can be mighty brave and strong
They carried William Deacon's body down from old Green Mountain yesterday
He was crushed by a rollin' gravel truck when he stepped out into the way
The foreman frowned then said well now the work can start again
But he forgot the family pride of all the Deacon Clan
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
The old hometown looks the same as I step down from the train
There to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the road I look and there runs Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
The old house is still standing though the paint is cracked and dry
There's that old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
Yes they'll all come to meet me arms areaching smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
Then I awake and I look around me at the four grey walls that surround me
And I realize that yes I realize I was only dreamin'
There's a guard and there's that sad old padre arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
And again I'll touch the green green grass of home
Yes they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
She's a friend she's a lover she's a woman she's a wife
She's the answer prayer every lonely man dreams of
She's a temptress she's a lady she's the mother of my baby
And I thank God I'm a lucky man she's loved
Sometimes I lie awake and watch her sleeping
And I just wanna bust and love drops fill my eyes
I wonder what she'd think if she woke up and caught me weeping
Cause daddys and heroes ain't supposed to cry
You know the morning always seems to catch us laughing
We got baby in bed between us safe and warm
And I thank the Lord above for all the good times that I have
Wrapped up in my woman's lovin' arms
She's a friend she's a lover...
[ guitar ]
When the load gets heavy on my shoulders
I can't keep the pace and need a place to hide
I run home to my only little world take her in my arms and hold her
And I soon forget there's another world outside
She's up there in the cheap hotel I'm down here in the bar
I just slipped out and left her there before things went too far
I'd like to love her but I know what that would do to me
So take a dozen roses up to her and pour Four for me
Take a dozen roses up to her and pour Four for me
I'd like to love her and I'll do accept for decent sea
Take a dozen roses up to her maybe she will understand
That I'm tied to another woman and she belongs to another man
I met her at a party I lied and she believed
She was so young and innocent so easy to decieve
She went along with wine and song love laid the happy tunes
Now she's up there waiting in that lonely dim lit room
I didn't know my baby love me so until that letter come to let me know
Now I pack my bags and then I'll go and catch a first train I see headin' south
If I got this letter in Idaho where snow's so deep it wouldn't let me go
I'd went hog wild and melted all that snow
And cought a first train I saw headin' south
If I got this letter in Iowa nothing in this world could make me stay
I'd grab my hat and then been on my way and cought a first train I see headin' south
I didn't know my baby love me so...
[ guitar ]
I didn't know my baby love me so...
If I got this letter in Ohio with a busted back and arms and broken toe
There'd be no hesitation I would go and catch a first train I saw headin' south
But I got this letter up in Maine you can bet your bottom dollar I feel the same
Every clickety clack of drivers call her name
As I ride this freight train I caught headin' south
The Comancheros're takin' this land the Comancheros're takin' this land
Paul Regret of New Orleans a fast man with a gun
Didn't want to go but he had to run when he shot down the judge's son
Yes he shot Judge Moebeam's son
With the dark of night he left that town never to return again
With a oneway ticket at the end of the line
He was told by a stranger man the Comancheros're takin' this land
And then the Comancheros came ridin' through the night
Stealin' and a killin' takin' everything in sight
Nothin' left behind but the blood in the sand
The Comancheros're takin' this land the Comancheros're takin' this land
[ trumpet ]
I'll cover every inch of the ground where I stand I'd die before I'd run
I'm not afraid of any living man and here I'll make my stand
With a gun I'll make my stand
He rode into the Comanchero town like a wild man on the run
Before he'd leave they'd all be dead they'd die by his blazin' gun
They died by his blazin' gun
Tu du dup to do do do do too do do doo
I didn't know it was the bubbles in the wine
Or the touch of her lips that blew my mind
Cause I became a man of Chip'n Dale's Place
I didn't know it was the bubbles in the wine...
Well my mama's in the kitchen fixin' supper she thinks I'm a chopin' woods
Papa's in his big chair sippin' on a beer there Lord knows he's feelin' good
When mama gets ready to call me it's all gonna be in vain
How you gonna hear your mama callin' when you're thumbin' a ride in rain
I'm twenty-one years and I'm ready I guess I'm loaded for bear
I never really had any good times now I'm gonna get my share
I must have walked ten miles now the rain is turnin' to pale
I better go inside pull myself at a place called Chip'n Dale's
Tu du dup to do do do do too do do doo
I walked in and I sat down I was about to freeze
Then I felt the hand on my shoulder she said baby what's you gonna be
My mind flashed back to my mama cause mama used to baby me
But more I looked at this woman she didn't look like mama to me
I didn't know it was the bubbles in the wine...
Catch a little raindrop (uh huh catch a little raindrop) uh huh
Catch a little raindrop (uh huh) and here's what you should do
Give it to a flower (uh huh give it to a flower) uh huh

A little bit of honey (uh huh a little bit of honey) uh huh
A little bit of honey (uh huh) from lips so sweet and true
I caught a little raindrop gave it to a flower and a little bee put it in a tree
Well today I'm so weary today I'm so blue
Sad and broken hearted and it's all because of you
Life was so sweet dear life was a song
Now you've gone and left me oh where do I belong
And it's all for the love of a dear little girl
All for the love that sets your heart in a whirl
I'm a man who'd give his life and the joys of this world all for the love of a girl
[ steel ]
And it's all for the love of a dear little girl...
Way down on Mississippi big river
Came a mighty big man
He built a town on that river
And owned everything in that glen
He fell in love and married a girl
She was young and mean, and wild
He tried to tame her but it couldn't been done
It was too late to Devil's own child
Big river
(Keep on growing, growing)
Big man
(Keep on growing, growing)
Big river
(Keep on growing, growing)
Big man
(Keep on growing, growing)
The love you have for greed and power
Surely pull you down
You lose your friends, you lose your soul
In that darn city to big man's town
Big river
(Keep on growing, growing)
Big man
(Keep on growing, growing)
Big river
(Keep on growing, growing)
Big man
(Keep on growing, growing)
Look down in the water all around you
Hear the steamboat whistle blow
Come on big man, get a moving
You got a long way to go
Just like a big river
Big man, you gotta move on and on
Take your money, keep your dough
You're gonna be left all alone
Big river
(Keep on growing, growing)
Big man
(Keep on growing, growing)
Big river
(Keep on growing, growing)
Big man
I got a big ole shoulder to cry on so bring your big ole heartache to me
Don't go looking for someone else cause this is where you ought to be
This is the first one that you'd cried on when the last one set you free
I got a big ole shoulder to cry on so bring your big ole heartache to me
Don't go looking for somebody else to cry to
He may have a big ole shoulder but I'll bet
You'll turn out to be another one he's lied to
And you'll still be looking for someone to help you to forget
So bundle up your sweet love bring it home to me
I got a big ole shoulder to cry on so bring your big ole heartache to me
[ guitar ]
You can find me anytime that you want to
But I've been here so long nobody seems to want to
In this very room another man took the place of me
A room filled with beertops covered with teardrops that's where you'll find me
Beertops covered with teardrops in every corner of the room
Barstools and drunken fools and the spell keep with you
This old smoky room so filled with bloom has got the best of me
A room filled with beertops covered with teardrops that's where you'll find me
[ steel ]
I wonder how long it's really been now since I seen the sunshine
Do the flowers bloom do the birds sing how they did one time
If your new love ever leaves you you can come and visit me
In a room filled with beertops covered with teardrops that's where you'll find me
In eighteen-fourteen we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississipp'
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
Wasn't night as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We looked down the river and we seen the British come
And there must've been a hubdred of 'em beatin' on the drum
They stepped so high and they began to sing
We stood beside the cotton bails and didn't say a thing
We fired our gun...
Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire a musket till we looked 'em in the eyes
We held our fire till we seen their faces well
Then we opened up our aquirrel guns and really gave 'em hell
We fired our guns...
Yeah they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down
Then we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind
And when we took the powder off the 'gator lost his mind
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'...
