Coat Of Many Colours

[No lyrics]

. . .


My love's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June;

My love is like a melody
So sweetly play'd in tune

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I;
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Though all the seas gone dry.

Though all the seas gone dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt with the sun;
I will love thee still my dear,
Though the sands o' life shall run.

So fare-thee-weel, my only love!
And fare-thee-weel awhile!
And I will come to you again,
Though it were ten thousand miles!

Though it were ten thousand miles, my dear
Though it twere ten thousand miles.
I will come to you again.
Though it twere ten thousand miles.

. . .


Well, I got me some money
And a fine place to stay
Got a car I can drive
I ride around everyday

Ain't doing too bad
Ain't doing too bad at all
I ain't doing too bad baby
Ain't doing too bad at all

I got a book full of men
I can call on the phone
And they all dig me
'Cause my conversation's so strong

Ain't doing too bad
Ain't doing too bad at all
I ain't doing too bad baby
Ain't doing too bad at all

I don't like work
Work don't like me
We stay away from each other
That's the way it ought to be

Ain't doing too bad
Ain't doing too bad at all
I ain't doing too bad baby
Ain't doing too bad at all

Ain't doing too bad
Ain't doing too bad at all
Oh no, no, no, I ain't doing too bad
Ain't doing too bad at all

Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain of fools

For five long years
I thought you were my man
But I found out
I'm just a link in your chain

Oh, you got me where you want me
I ain't nothing but your fool
You treated me mean
Oh, you treated me cruel

Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain of fools

Well, every chain
Has got a weak link
I might be weak child
Oh, but I feel your strength

You told me to leave you alone
My father said come on home
My doctor said take it easy
Oh, but your loving is much too strong
I'm added to your

Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain of fools

I ain't nothing but your fool
Take it easy, take it easy
You got me where you want me
Take it easy, take it easy
Take it easy on me, yeah

You told me to leave you alone
My father said come on home
My doctor said take it easy
Oh, but your loving is much too strong
I'm added to your

Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain of fools

Hey, one of these mornings
Your chain is gonna break
Oh, but up until then child
I'm gonna take all I can take, oh

Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain of fools

Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain of fools

Take it easy, take it easy
Take it easy, take it easy
Take it easy on me
My father said come on home

. . .


Baby here I am by the railroad track
Waitin' for my baby, he's comin' back
Comin' back to me on the 503
Ooh and it won't be long, no it won't be long

I get so lonesome since my man's been gone
There ain't a thing worth mentioning
Nothin' goin' on and that's why I know when the whistle blows
That it won't be long, no won't be long

My daddy told me when he said goodbye, yes, he did
I'll be back baby, oh baby bye and bye
That's why I've waited so doggone long, yeah
Can't you see how happy I am because my man is comin' home?

So now here I'll be by the railroad track
Oh, waitin' for my baby
He's comin' back, comin' back to me on the 503
Yeah, and it won't be long, no it won't be long

I ain't had no lovin' since you know when
He's a lone old rooster and I'm a lonesome hen
That's why I'm sure when the whistle blows
Ooh, that it won't be long, no it won't be long

I'm so excited my knees are shakin', yeah
Mr. Engineer don't you keep me waitin'
Hear me tellin' you hurry, hurry
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry

Baby, here I am on the railroad track
Ooh, waitin' for my baby, he's comin' back
Comin' back to me on the 503, yeah
And it won't be long, no it won't be long

I know, oh when the whistle blows, yeah
That it won't be long, no it won't be long
I know, oh when the whistle blows
That it won't be long, no it won't be long

. . .


I go out walkin' after midnight
Out in the moonlight just like we used to do
I'm always walkin' after midnight searchin' for you

I walk for miles along the highway
Well, that's just my way of sayin' I love you
I'm always walkin' after midnight searchin' for you

I stop to see a weepin' willow cryin' on his pillow
Maybe he's cryin' for me
And as the skies turn gloomy and night winds whisper to me
I'm lonesome as I can be

I go out walkin' after midnight
Out in the moonlight just hopin' you may be
Somewhere walkin' after midnight searchin' for me

I stop to see a weepin' willow cryin' on his pillow
Maybe he's cryin' for me
And as the skies turn gloomy and night winds whisper to me
I'm lonesome as I can be

I go out walkin' after midnight
Out in the moonlight just hopin' you may be
Somewhere walkin' after midnight searchin' for me

. . .


Early one morning
As the sun was rising
I heard a voice in the walley below.

Don't decieve me
Don't you leave me
How could you treat
A poor girl so?

Early one morning
I saw her walking
I heard a voice in the walley below.

Don't decieve me
Don't you leave me
How could you treat
A poor boy so?

So I sit on yonder hill
And I wonder if anyone
Thinks of me still

Why did you leave me?
Why did you decieve me?
How could you treat
A poor girl so?

If anyone thinks of me still
Why did you leave me?

. . .


A bold young farmer courted me
He stole my heart and my liberty
He stole my heart without free goodwill
And I must confess that I love him still

I wish, I wish but it's all in vain
I wish I was a maid again
But a maid again I never can be
Since such a young fellow lies still by me

There sits a bird in yonder tree
Some say he's blind and cannot see
And I wish it was the same with me
Before I took up with your company

I wish my babe so tiny was born
And smiling on his father's knee
And I poor girl was dead and gone
With the green grass growing all over me

Go dig my grave, dig long and deep
Place a marble stone at my head and feet
And on my heart put a snow white dove
To let the world know that I died for love

. . .


If I give my heart to you tonight,
will you still be by my side.
Or will you be gone, with the morning sun;
Like a restless bird in fly.

Take me in your arms,
and let the love you see,
Wash away your sorrows.
Let the morning be ours too keep.

and If I should tell you of a love that I had,
will you still be there for me.
or will you away to a faded love,
searching for freedoms game.

Take me in your arms,
and let the love you see,
wash away your sorrows.
Let the morning be ours to keep.

Take me in your arms,
and let the love you see,
wash away your sorrows.
Let the morning be ours to keep.

If I give my heart to you tonight,
will you still be by my side.
or will you be gone,
with the morning sun.
Like a bird who yearns to fly.

. . .


In the twilight glow I see
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again

Love is like a dying ember
And only memories remain
And through the ages I'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain

Someday soon we'll meet up yonder
And we'll walk hand in hand again
And through the ages I'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Blue eyes crying in the rain

. . .


Summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping and the cotton's high
Your dad is rich and your mom?s good looking
So hush little baby, baby, don?t you cry

One of these mornings you?re gonna rise up singing
Then you?ll spread your wings and you?ll take to the sky
But till that morning there ain?t nothing can harm you
With daddy and mommy, mommy standing by

One of these mornings you?re gonna rise up singing
Then you?ll spread your wings and you?ll take to the sky
But till that morning there ain?t nothing can harm you
With daddy and mommy, mommy standing by
So hush little baby, baby don?t you cry

. . .


Is time my redeemer?
Loneliness my only friend?
Just once in a lifetime
Strangers share a common end
And I like an arrow
Straight for love I went again
And you like tomorrow
Never knowing where an when.

Somewhere, somehow
At sometime someone cared
Maybe just for a moment
Or maybe for a lifetime
Are the threads that bind us together
Falling loose or growing stronger?
Look at it now, look at the picture
Has it changed or is it still the same?

Hear, hear, hear, hear...
