Well I swear your perfume babe is made out of turnip
greens
Well every time I kiss you girl it tastes like pork and beans
C
Even though youre wearing those uptown high heels
I can tell from your giant step youve been walking through the cotton fields

Ohhhhhh youre so down homegirl

Every time your monkey jive takes my breath away
Well every time you move like that I got to get down and pray
Girl you know that dress you wear is made out of fiber glass
Well every time you shake it baby I got to go to Sunday
Ohhhhh youre so down homegirl

Solo

Im going to take you to the muddy river and push you in
So I can watch the water roll on down your velvet skin
Im gonna take you down to New Orleans down in Dixie land
So I can watch you do the second line with an umbrella in

your hand

Ohhhhh youre so down homegirl

Solo

Well the cocaine habit is mighty bad
It's the worst old habit that I ever had
Hey hey honey take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me
Take a whiff on me
All you rounders take a wiff on me
Hey hey honey take a wiff on me

I went to Mr. Lehman's on a lope
He's got a sign on the window, "no more dope"
Hey hey honey take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me
Take a whiff on me
All you rounders take a wiff on me
Hey hey honey take a wiff on me

Well I love my whiskey and I love my gin
But the way I love my coke is a dog gone sin
Hey hey honey take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me
Take a whiff on me
All you rounders take a wiff on me
Hey hey honey take a wiff on me

Well since cocaine went outta style
You can catch 'em shootin needles all the while
Hey hey honey take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me
Take a whiff on me
All you rounders take a wiff on me
hey hey honey take a wiff on me

Take a whiff on me
Take a whiff on me
All you rounders take a wiff on me
Hey hey honey take a wiff on me

Take a whiff on me
Take a whiff on me
All you rounders take a wiff on me
Hey hey honey take a wiff on me

Well don't you never let no woman rule your mind
Don't you never let no woman rule your mind
Well she'll leave you troubled, worried all the time

Well I got a letter mama and you ought to heard what it read
Lord I got a letter mama and you ought to heard what it read
If you're comin' back baby now's your only chance

Don't you never let no woman rule your mind
Well Don't you never let no woman rule your mind
Well she'll leave you troubled, worried all the time

So don't you wish that your fair girl was li'l and cute like mine
Boy don't you wish that your fair girl was li'l and cute like mine
Well she's a married woman, Lord she comes to see me some time

Don't you never let no woman rule your mind
Don't you never let no woman rule your mind
Well she'll leave you troubled, and worried all the time

Well don't you never let no woman rule your mind
Don't you never let no woman rule your mind
Well she'll leave you troubled, worried all the time

She'll leave you troubled, worried all the time

First she drove me down
Tossed me round
Slandered my name all over town
My good gal ain't no good to me
She makes true love more like misery

I'm walkin' hunched
I get drunk a bunch
Sucker up and take a punch
My good gal ain't no good to me
N' I think I've acted reasonably
But I miss her....... mmmhhm
Last time I kissed her........ mmmhhmm

She sure tasted sweet
Like spoiled meat
And other's breath, you're so discreet
My good gal ain't no good to me
Oh no, no, no, no, no

She can powder her nose
'Til the bars are closed
Waitin' in the parking lot, where'd she go
My good gal ain't no good to me
Mama tell me how could this be...

But I miss her.... mmmhhmm
All that I wish from her...mmmhhm

Is the time of day
Don't go out of your way
Just leave me with a stack of them bills to pay
My good gal ain't no good to me
She's supposed to have the courtesy

To shut the door
When she's been playin a whore
Pick his fuckin' rags up off the floor
My good gal ain't no good to me
And I only wish that she could see...

That I miss her......mmmhhmm

(one time through chord progression to let David pick away)

But I miss her.... mmmhhmm
All I have is a picture.... of her

Taken years ago
I was a kid you know
We were leaned up against that El Dorado
My good gal ain't no good to me
She robbed me of my liberty

Tonight I drove her out of town
Then I pushed her down
And I shot her brains onto the cold clay ground
My good gal ain't no good to me
Not even in my memory

But I miss her......

I just heard the awful news
I could steer around the rocks
But theyre bustin down the docks

James river blues
That train came on through
And the worlds gotten slow
So wheres a boat man to go

I think Ill float on down
To Richmond town
They dont need us anymore
hauling freight from shore to shore
That big iron hauls much more
than we ever could before

Ive see good men going wrong
Ive seen bad ones get it right
As that river rolls along
Ill be steppin out tonight

On the cool flow
floatin down down below
the bridge till the waters edge
From the ridge to the ledge
From the hills to the sea
Ill become a memory
James River blues
James River blues
James River blues

Chug-along, chug-along, like the old Virginia Creeper,
Down among the Mountain Laurel, I'm a gonna meetcha,
Baby stoke my fire,
So we can make it home tonight!

A come along, come along, come a right to tha station,
Slide me up yo ticket baby, climb up on my engine,
I'll ride you in my sleeper on the New Virginia Creeper Tonight!

I'm a rollin' down the mountain can't you hear my wheels a chuggin',
All the women stand around a pushin and a shovin'
But you can have my lovin',
Come on and watch my big wheels ride!

I got smoke from my chimney belchin' blacker than coal,
What would you think about me if I bared my soul,
I'll ride you in my sleeper on the New Virginia Creeper Tonight!

And-if-you're,
Quite in a hurry,
Now don'tcha worry,
We won't-ride-slow,
You've got my,
Full-on attention,
Upon my engine,
We'll let, the whistle blow!

Chug-along, chug-along, chuggin' right to your door,
And if you'd like to ride I'd like to ride you some more,
I'll ride you in my sleeper on the New Virginia Creeper Tonight!

And-if-you,
Take up the notion,
For locomotion,
I'll make-a-stop,
And slide right,
Into your station,
But pay attention,
That rail gets hot!

Chug-along, chug-along, chuggin' right to your door,
And if you'd like to ride I'd like to ride you some more,
I'll ride you in my sleeper on the New Virginia Creeper Tonight!

All Right!

I'll ride you in my sleeper on the New Virginia Creeper Tonight!

That's What I Said!

I'll ride you in my sleeper on the New Virginia Creeper Tonight!

One More Time!

I'll ride you in my sleeper on the New Virginia Creeper Tonight!

Well..
If you want it, God’s got it
He’s got everything you need. (3 times)
He got every, everything a poor man need

Walkin’ around like a vagabond
Troubles are on your back
Lookin’ for money, lookin’ for friends
And you don’t know who to ask

If you want it, God’s got it
He’s got everything you need. (2 times)

I believe in the Lord above
(I believe in the righteous. I believe in love)
I believe in the fire burnin’ in my soul
I believe that His light is gonna make me whole.

If you want it, God’s got it
He’s got everything you need. (2 times)
Well, if you need it now
God’s got it now
He’s got everything you need.
He got every, everything a poor man need.

God’s got it. (He’s got it)

I hear the crying of the hungry in the deserts where they're wandering.
Hear them crying out for heaven's own benevolence upon them.
Hear destructive power prevailing, I hear fools falsely hailing.
To the crooked wits of tyrants when they call.

I hear them all
I hear them all
I hear them all

I hear the sounds of tearing pages and the roar of burning paper.
All the crimes in acquisitions turn to air and ash and vapor.
And the rattle of the shackle far beyond emancipators.
And the loneliest who gather in their stalls.

I hear them all
I hear them all
I hear them all

So while you sit and whistle Dixie with your money and your power.
I can hear the flowers a-growin in the rubble of the towers.
I hear leaders quit their lying
I hear babies quit their crying.

I hear soldiers quit their dying, one and all.

I hear them all
I hear them all
I hear them all

I hear the tender words from Zion, I hear Noah's waterfall.
Hear the gentle lamb of Judah sleeping at the feet of Buddha.
And the prophets from Elijah to the old Paiute Wovoka.
Take their places at the table when they're called.

I hear them all
I hear them all
I hear them all

To Winnapeg, Saskatoon
Utah WaWa, empty rooms.
Hiding bags, rollin' smokes,
skipping punchlines, cracking jokes.

So pour it on, toss it back,
play that cocaine, play that shack.
Sleeping every now and then,
curled up tight with Crit and Ben,

on the ground...
I ain't never going home again...
I was tugging at my mama's breast,
the first year really is the dead end.

Blood pushers, dropping down,
we ditched the pot and we marked the ground.
Any of them watching right, check that dude,
he almost died...

Seeing bears, sending clowns,
shut our whole damned circus down.
Crappin up in Jolliette,
we haven't wrecked the trailer yet,
but we will...
We're gonna get killed...

Don't ride that horse,
don't ride that horse, honey.
Don't ride that horse back home.
Just let it roam...
Let it roam....
Ohhhhmmmmmmm.......
