Saddest Eyes

Packed my bags, wrote you a letter
Booked my tickets on the internet last week
Changed my money to the travelling kind
Sat alone on the 109 last night
Gonna get me some heartache, gonna give some to you
Gonna bust this rib cage open if I have to
Pay somebody to give me some soul
I’ve the saddest eyes this side of Mexico
O I’m so low
And I’m thinking about ya
And I don’t know where I can go
So take this weight
Off of my shoulder
Yes, I’ll be coming back once I leave Mexico
Picked my bags up from the station
Hailed a cab man and bargained him real low
Lost a city I had to see
And I cried that night ‘cos you weren’t there with me

Stuck On You
02:09

You’re the girl that drives them boys crazy
You’re the one that’s got me feeling the way I do
And I can’t blame your good looks, or your locks of curly hair
You’re a pretty little thing and I’m pretty much stuck on you
Your papa don’t like me ‘cos I don’t care much for working
But your mama raised you well so I don’t think you’d mind
Now I got me a job working for the county, it don’t pay much, but I don’t care about it
You’re a pretty little thing and I’m pretty much stuck on you
I seen you round town talking to other boys
Nothing they got compares to what I do
I don’t think you realise how much I want you to be mine
You’re a pretty little thing and I’m pretty much stuck on you
If I take you out tonight baby could I have this dance?
I’m a real good guy, girl I’m going to see this through
I don’t drink too much, I don’t talk too loud, I don’t get in no fights, but I ain’t no coward
See you’re a pretty little thing and I’m pretty much stuck on you
I hear your daddy wants a ring on that finger
Tell me please baby that it isn’t true
Mister you play hard ball, talking bout the church and all, I’m just a po’ boy raised with a city drawl
But you’re a pretty little thing and I’m pretty much stuck on you
You’re a pretty little thing and I’m pretty much stuck on you

Cold Winter
03:01
|
|||
|
The night is dark without you
The thunder rolls through my veins
Trouble follows me wherever I go and now I cannot wait
Till we’re alone; out of this town and heading home
Leaving in the night just to cover our tracks
And never got to worry about looking back
Oh my love (oh my love)
If you are there
Oh my love (oh my love)
Then you are everywhere
If I could see that the cold winter’s here
Oh my love why did you go?
And I keep riding
Though I know my horse is blind
Heading down to the rivers bank and drowning in the tides
It must be known; my true colours have been shown
I fell from grace just to be here now
And now I want to hold you in my arms

Three Day Pass
02:02
|
|||
|
Baby, I've been driving real fast
Shore leave, got me a three day pass
This here's one government slave
Wants a taste of freedom for a couple of days
Baby, I've been driving real fast
Darlin, won't you come to the door
Darlin, what the hell is all that noise
I'm gonna take you to town
If I have to kick this damn thing down
Darlin, why won't you come to the door
I see, the truth comes out at last
I see, so he's a ghost from your past
How long has this been going on
You couldn't even write me a dear damn John
What a waste of a three day pass

My love
Lest we speak kindly
Then I beg that we must
Not speak at all
And my love
I put it to you
All we have been through
And it could be the end
And if all this is
Goes away, goes away
And if all this is
Is a dance beneath the stars
Then I can say to you, my baby
Merry Christmas
My love
You are my measure
And any move I make
I will lose
And my love
I’ve lost my desire
And if I could find it
I’d love you again
And if all this is
Goes away, goes away
And if all this is
Is a dance beneath the stars
Then I can say to you, my baby
Merry Christmas

Wait All Night
04:53
|
|||
|
Darling, I’ve been drinking
And I’ve been thinking of you
Where I would love to see your face again
And to hold you in my arms
Darling, you got me thinking
Of all those lonely, lonely nights
Where I would stand out in the pouring rain
Looking through your door
I wait all night for you

Brightest Star
03:01
|
|||
|
It's a cold, lonely afternoon
Telephone echoes in the empty room
But me, I'm going back to those loving arms I used to know
Me, I'm going back, back home
There are things that words cannot explain
Little hands try to take away the pain
But me, I'm going back to those loving arms I used to know
Me, I'm going back, back home
And it still feels like, deep inside
That it's Christmas Day nineteen eighty-five
I know, I have to let you go
I can still see your beautiful smile
Like we're dancing, just you and I
It's time to say goodbye
Because you can't hold on to the brightest star in the sky

Two Men
03:37
|
|||
|
I was standing off when here she comes again
I had said my piece, she knew I was her friend
And it was nothing like I had ever felt
There were things that I knew I had to do
There were goings on right in front of you
It was only something that I’ve seen
You’re the angel that haunts my dreams
And there’s no truth in the hole in my heart
I’m stuck here and I think of you
She had two men and I was one of them
I was well loved, but I could not pretend
|

I turned out the lights at about twelve midnight
What’s more I’d had too much to drink, me thinks
And tomorrow at daybreak you’ll be on my mind again
My brightest old flame still burning.
Though loyal to my captain, he’ll never let me go
I’m stuck here in the throes of service
Yeah, and true you don’t deserve this, though none of us may leave
Till we fight for the honor to do so
I’ll write you in the morning, I’m on guard till dawn
Please excuse my weary handwriting, ma’am
I remember your smell, and your righteous fear of hell
God had somehow got to you before me
Your number one man is asking for your hand
While dying for his land in another man’s
And each day I make it through brings me closer back to you
Yeah, that much is true, save the dying

The Train Song
03:22
|
|||
|
Go away, gone away
My life was so mundane
But come what may and boy did it come true
Won’t come for you
She’s back, relax
Take the coat right off your back
You know your devil is coming home to roost
Can’t take me eyes off you
And I sit back and let you through
My world is gone
So come on up and see me all alone
Your mama hangs her knitting well to do
You marry him but soon I will have you
I planned, yes I planned and followed through…oh lord
Insane? Take aim
You got to give as good in the rain
Oh me oh my, I capped a scalp or two
Your mama comes crying for you
Bowed out, dare say
Well mama come and papa come today
The wedding dress was bloody from the rain
And the horses took the reigns
And then I grab my gun and jumped the train…and cut loose
Whoa train cut us loose.

Aileen, Aileen, Aileen
Won’t you give me that lovin’ yes Aileen
Aileen, Aileen, Aileen
Won’t you give me that good good love Ailenn
You know how I feel and my love it is true
I can’t have nothin’ if I don’t have you
There ain’t nothin’ to it just hand it on through
Well a kiss on the lips is enough from you
Please don’t say no to me, I’d die
You don’t listen you just smile
I can’t spend my time waitin’ on you
Thinking ‘bout the things that we don’t do

Dorothy,
We’re so far apart
Dorothy,
You’re still in my heart
And in your life
You will see
There is no time
For us
Dorothy,
Did I tell a lie?
Dorothy,
Did I make you cry?
And in your life
You will see
There is no time
For us
And I did it all for you
Yes, I did it all for you
Dorothy,
It’s better off this way
Dorothy,
We’ll meet again someday
