The Rain Song
-------------
It is the springtime of my loving
The second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing
So little warmth I felt before
It isn't hard to feel me glowing
I watched the fire nn-that grew so low, ooh, ooh, whoa-oh
It is the summer of my smiles
Flee from me, keepers of the gloom
Speak to me only with your eyes
It is to you I give this tune
Ain't so hard to recognize, oh
These things are clear to all from time to time
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh-ho, oh-ho
Uh, talk, talk, talk, talk
Hey, I felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go-whoa
I cursed the gloom that set upon us, 'pon us, 'pon us
but I know that I love you so-oh
Oh-whoa, mm-but I know that I love you so-whoa
These are the seasons of emotion
and like the wind, a-they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion
I see the torch we all must hold
This is the mystery of the quotient, quotient
Uh, upon us all, upon us all a little rain must fall
Just a little rain, hoh, now
Aw, woo-ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ramble On
---------
The leaves are fallin' all around, time I was on my way
Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay
but now it's time for me to go, the autumn moon lights my way
for now I smell the rain, and with it, pain
and it's headin' my way
Aw, sometimes I grow so tired
but I know I've got one thing I got to do
A-ramble on, and now's the time, the time is now
Sing my song, I'm goin' 'round the world, I gotta find my girl
On my way, I've been this way ten years to the day
Ramble on, gotta find the queen of all my dreams
Got no time for spreadin' roots, the time has come to be gone
And though our health we drank a thousand times
it's time to ramble on
A-ramble on, and now's the time, the time is now
Sing my song, I'm goin' 'round the world
I've gotta find my girl
On my way, I've been this way ten years to the day
I gotta ramble on, I gotta find the queen of all my dreams
I tell you no lie
Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear
How years ago in days of old when magic filled the air
'twas in the darkest depths of Mordor, mm-I met a girl so fair
but Gollum and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her
her, her, yeah, yeah, and ain't nothin' I can do, no
I guess I'll keep on ramblin', I'm gonna
Sing my song/Sh-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, I've gotta find my baby
I'm gonna ramble on, sing my song
Gonna work my way all around the world
Baby, baby/Ramble on, yeah
A-do-do-n-do-n-do-n-do, my baby/Baby
A-ramble on, baby
A-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-de-do-de-do-de-do-de-do-de, yeah, yeah/
I can't stop this feelin' in my heart
Everytime I feel I will leave, I really gotta part
Gotta keep searchin' for my baby/
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, babe
I've gotta keep a-searchin' for my baby
My, my, my, my, my, my, my baby/
Yeah-yeah, a-yeah-yeah, a-yeah-yeah
My, my, my, my, my, my baby/
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Ooh, my, my, my-my, my-my, my-my, yeah/
I can't find my bluebird, I'd listen to my bluebird sing
but I, I can't find my bluebird
I keep a-ramblin' baby/Ah, ah, yeah
I keep a-ramblin', baby/I keep, keep, keep, keep, keep
Babe, babe, babe, babe/
I keep a-ramblin', baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby/
My, my babe
Bay-ay-by/A-goodbye, goodbye, a-goodbye, baby
Well, something's wrong
Rock and Roll
-------------
It's been a long time since I rock-and-rolled
It's been a long time since I did the stroll
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back, let me get it back
mm-baby, where I come from
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Yes, it has
It's been a long time since the book of love
I can't count the tears of a life with no love
A-carry me back, carry me back, carry me back
mm-baby, where I come from, whoa-whoa, whoa-oh-oh-hoh
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Hoh, it seems so long since we walked in the moonlight
a-makin' vows that just couldn't work right
Haw-haw, yeah, open your arms, open your arms, open your arms
Baby, let my love come running in, a-yeah
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Yeah, hey, yay, hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey
Ooh, yeah, ooh-ooh, yeah, ooh-ooh, yeah, ooh-ooh, yeah
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
The Rover
---------
I've been to London, seen seven wonders
I know to trip is just to fall
I used to rock it, sometimes I'd roll it
I always knew what it was for
There can be no denyin' that the wind'll shake 'em down
And the flag we're flyin' is the new flag of the land
Just join hands
If we could just join hands
If we could just join
The fields were plenty when Heaven sent me
I saw the kings who ruled them all
Still by the firelight and purple moonlight
I hear the rusted river's call
And the wind is cryin' from a love that won't grow cold
My lover, she is lyin' on the dark side of the globe
Could just join hands
If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Do it, ow
You got me rockin' when I oughta be rollin'
Darlin', tell me, darlin', which way to go
Keep me rockin' baby, can you keep this rollin'
Won'tcha tell me, darlin', which way to go, that's right
Oh how I wonder, oh how I worry
and I would dearly like to know
How all this squander of earthly plunder
will leave us anything to show
And our time is flyin'
See the candle burnin' low
Is the new world risin'
from the shambles of the old
Could just join hands
If we could just join hands
If we could just, if we could just
If we could just, if we could just
If we could just join hands, hey
That's all it takes, that's all it takes
That's all it takes, that's all it takes
Hey-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, ooh yeah, ah, ah, yeah
That's right, that's right, that's right, that's right
Royal Orleans
-------------
One-time luck, a-take care how you use it
A-try to make it last all night
And if you take your pick, be careful how you choose it
Sometimes it's hard to feel it bite, feel it bite
A man I know went down to Louisiana
Had himself a bad, bad fight-a
And when the sun peeks through, John Cameron will see Santa
and kiss the whiskers left and right, whiskers
Now, now, now, a fight subsides out at a hotel in the Quarter
Our friendship took a bash tonight
Now, love gets hot, look far for a sea with water
Growin' whiskers in there through the night
Whiskers
Down on Bourbon Street, you know it's right
You'll be seein' my friends
when they run around all through the night
Most everywhere, 'till that closet's bare
Want for the razor, fun doin' up my hair
New Orleans queens sure know how to shmooze it
Maybe for some that seems alright
When I step out and strut down with my sugar
She better not talk like Barry White
Now, one-time luck, take care how you use it
Try to make it last all night
And if you take your pick, be careful how you choose it
Sometimes it's hard to feel it bite-a
