"I'm getting tired of just hangin around
Am gonna find me a good girl and settle down
Cause this sporting life is gonna be the death of me
My baby left me, all of my own
Ain't got no woman and ain't got no home
And this sporting life, this night life, oh boy, its killing me
Yes it is, yes it is, i can't take it anymore
There's only one thing here left to say
I've gave all up, all my life away
And this sporting life, this night life, oh boy, its killing me
Finish them boy, don't you know don't you know

If I cannot be so happy without you, my dear
If I cannot hold you close, evr'y second that you're here
You must know I can't go on, ev'ry time I sing my song
If I cannot have your love, I'll sing the blues
Every time I'm feeling low and far away
All the time I think of you every second of the day
And you know you hurt my pride but I'd rather be by your side
If I cannot have your love, I'll sing the blues
Sing the blues all my life, I got trouble, I got strife
How can a man expect to be so free
To travel this so lonely road and to carry it's heavy load
Is becoming far too much, too much for me
If I cannot be so happy, then I'm gonna be on my way
The many nights I needed your love, it never worked out that way
For I must have my babe, for I'm feeling extremely sad
If I cannot have your love, I'm gonna play the blues
Sing the blues all my life, so much trouble, so much strife
How can a man expect to be so free
To travel this so lonely road and to carry its heavy load
I rather have your love, than sing the blues
Yes, I rather have your love than sing the blues

To seek her daughter
Who must lie beside the thief
Whose golden tongue she will believe
Defies the order

Shall we dance and never stop
Take my hand and stop the clock
From turning over
Spirit weave and spirit bend
In the move that has no end

Touch me with fire
My mind is undone
All life inspire

Who must lie beneath the theif
Whose golden tongue she will believe
Defies the order
That is why, That is why
Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
Stars to fill my dreams
I am a traveler of both time and space
To be where I have been
Sit with elders of a gentle race
This world is seldom seen
Talk of days for which they sit and wait
But, all will be revealed
Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace
Whose sounds caress my ear
Though, by a word I heard could I relate
The story was quite clear
Whoa-hoh, whoa-oh, yeah
Yes, yes
Oooh, oh baby, baby, I been cryin'
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, there's no denyin', there's no denyin'
Oooh yes, baby baby, I've been flyin', oh yeah
Lord, mama, ain't no denyin', no denyin', no denyin'
Here's another one to ya
All I see turns to brown
As the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand
As I scan this wasted land
Tryin' to find now, where I been, yeah
Pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like thoughts inside a dream
Who heed the path that led me to that place
Yellow desert screen
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon
I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June
When movin' through Kashmir
Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails
Across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face
'Long the straits of fear
Wha-oh, wha-oh, yeah
Whoa-hoh, whoa-hoh, ohh-oh-oh-hooooh
Well, when I want, baby, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, baby, when I see the way you stay, yeah

Tell me what you see
Have you found what you wanna be?
And would you like to be a real go-getter?
Would that make you feel a whole lot better?
I really don't mean to sound unkind
But I've just gotta say you've been wasting my time
Do you know what you do to me?
Does it show? Baby, can't you see?
That all I need is some good, good lovin'
Instead of that, I get this push-and-shovin'
Sit down, we gotta draw the line
I've got to tell ya, you've been wastin' my time
You say that we're doin' just fine
I've got to tell ya, you've been wastin' my time
(Keep on wastin', keep on wastin' my time)
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Just don't know what to do with you
Cause after all the time we've been together
I always thought that it could last forever
Baby please, now I'm beggin' you
Don't you see what I'm goin' through
You say you love me, but you leave me lonely
I always used to be your one and only
I really don't mean to sound unkind
But I've just gotta say you've been wastin' my time
One last time
Let me say to you
It's a crime
Baby, don't you feel it, too?
If you could only try to talk about it
I wouldn't always have to scream and shout it
Sit down, we gotta draw the line
I've got to tell ya, you've been wastin' my time
You say that we're doin' just fine
I've got to tell ya, you've been wastin' my time
You keep on wastin', keep on wastin' my time
You keep on wastin', keep on wastin' my time
You keep on wastin', keep on wastin' time
You keep on wastin', keep on wastin' time
You keep on wastin', keep on wastin' time
that cruel game
where the winners join the losers
in the blame
who's to blame
when the love light dips and fades
who's to blame
both feel the innocence
neither of them ever felt the blame
a crying shame
to destroy ones only enfield?, whos to blame
a picture frame, where you can still see them together!
who's to blame
that cruel game
where the winners join the losers
in the blame
and now the flame
burns down for two in love...
both feel they're innocent
neither of them ever felt the blame
a day of frame, for all to see in black and white
who's to blame?
she has his name, that just powdered night - evening?
he's to blame
[Written by Leon Russell]
Sometimes I get impatient
But she cools me without words
And she comes so sweet and softly
My hummingbird and have you heard
That I thought my life had ended
But I find that it's just begun
Cause she gets me where I live
I'll give all I have to give
I'm talking about that hummingbird
Oh she's little and she loves me
Too much for words to say
When I see her in the morning sleeping
She's little and she loves me
To my lucky day
Hummingbird don't fly away (woah yeah)
When I'm feeling wild and lonesome
She knows the words to say
And she gives me a little understanding
In her special way
And I have to say
In my life I'll love no other
Because she's more than I deserve
And she gets me where I live
I'll give her everything I have to give
I'm talking about that hummingbird
Oh she's little and she loves me
Too much for words to say
When I see her in the morning sleeping
She's little and she loves me
To my lucky day
Hummingbird don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,
Think I see my friends coming, Riding a many mile.
Friends, did you get some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my dear friends, To keep me from
the Gallows Pole?
What did you bring me to keep me from the Gallows Pole?
I couldn't get no silver, I couldn't get no gold,
You know that we're too damn poor to keep you from the
Gallows Pole.
Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,
I think I see my brother coming, riding a many mile.
Brother, did you get me some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my brother, to keep me from the
Gallows Pole?
Brother, I brought you some silver,
I brought a little gold, I brought a little of
everything
To keep you from the Gallows Pole.
Yes, I brought you to keep you from the Gallows Pole.
Hangman, hangman, turn your head awhile,
I think I see my sister coming, riding a many mile,
mile, mile.
Sister, I implore you, take him by the hand,
Take him to some shady bower, save me from the wrath of
this man,
Please take him, save me from the wrath of this man,
man.
Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile,
Pray tell me that I'm free to ride,
Ride for many mile, mile, mile.
Oh, yes, you got a fine sister, She warmed my blood
from cold,
Brought my blood to boiling hot To keep you from the
Gallows Pole,
Your brother brought me silver, Your sister warmed my
soul,
But now I laugh and pull so hard And see you swinging
on the Gallows Pole
I don't know how I'm gonna tell you
I can't play with you no more,
I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me,
My friend, the boy next door.
I can't believe what people sayin'
You're gonna let your hair hang down,
I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long,
You're in the darker side of town.
An' when I'm out I see you walking,
Why don't your eyes see me?
Could it be you've found another game to play?
A-what did mama say to me?
That's The Way,
Oh, That's The Way it ought to be,
Yeah, yeah, mama said
That's The Way it ought to stay.
Yeah, yeah, ooh, ooh.
And yesterday I saw you standing by the river,
And weren't those tears that filled your eyes,
And all the fish that lay in dirty water dyin',
Had they got you hypnotized?
And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers,
But all that lives is born to die,
And so I say to you that nothing really matters,
An' all you do is stand and cry.
I don't know what to say about it,
When all your ears have turned away,
But now's the time to look and look again at what you
see,
Is that the way it ought to stay?
That's The Way,
That's The Way it ought to be,
Whoah dont you know now.
Mama said, mama said
That's The Way its gonna stay.
Yeah. Ah, ah, ah, ohh.
There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.
Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How ev'rything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.
Saturday night, you're lookin' just right
People all stop and stare
Lick your lips, shake your hips
Run your fingers through your hair
You bump and grind, make me lose my mind

To be where I have been.
Sit with elders of a gentle race
This world has seldom seen,
Talk of days for which they sit and wait,
All will be revealed.
Talk an' song from tongues of lilting grace,
Sounds caressed my ears,

With no provision but an open face
Along the straits of fear.

The winds of Thor are blowing cold
They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for me and you
Ohhhh, choose the path where no one goes
They ask no quarter, ohhhh
Oh, no, no, no quarter
Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their step
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The winds of Thor are blowing cold, ohhhh
They're wearing steel that's bright and true
To build a dream for me and you
They choose the path where noone goes
They, they ask no quarter
Ohh, ohh, no quarter
Ohhhh, visit me with no quarter
Ohhhh, the pain with no quarter
Yeah, yeah, yeah
