I wonder where my easy rider's gone? I wonder where my easy rider's gone? He must be having fun with some other one The race is over and his work is done I just can't keep from singing those weary blues I feel so lonesome, I don't know what to do One thing I can see, Lord: he must be cheating on me I wonder where my easy rider's gone?

Oh please don't let me love you Just because I'm feeling blue And please don't let me love you 'Cause I know you'll be untrue Because you're sweet, dear, I want to love you Please stay away from my heart And please don't let me love you 'Cause I know you'll break my heart Oh please don't call me darling When I know you don't love me And please don't whisper "sweetheart" For I know it just can't be When I'm lonely I want you only Where is the dream I once knew? Oh please don't let me love you 'Cause I know you'll be untrue

Stealin' 02:25
Ohhhhhhhhh stealin', stealin', Pretty mama don't you tell on me, I'm stealin' back to my same old used to be Put your arms around me like the circle 'round the sun I want you to love me, mama, like my easy rider done If you don't believe I love you, look what a fool I've been If you don't believe I'm sinkin', look what a hole I'm in Stealin', stealin', Pretty mama don't you tell on me, I'm stealin' back to my same old used to be The woman I'm lovin', she's just my height and size She's a married woman, comes to see me sometimes If you don't believe I love you, look what a fool I've been If you don't believe I'm sinkin', look what a hole I'm in Stealin', stealin', Pretty mama don't you tell on me, I'm stealin' back to my same old used to be Oh now I'm stealin', stealin', Pretty mama don't you tell on me, I'm stealin' back to my same old used to be

I Got Mine 03:17
I went down to a little crap game, Lord, that was against my will I lost every penny that I had in my pocket but a greenback dollar bill I turned my head, shook my shoulders, thinking I was way behind But just as they jumped in the kitchen door, Lord, I got mine. I got mine I got mine Hangin' 'round here trying to get some good eats all the time Ever since then I've been living high I've been living off of chicken and wine I belong to the knockdown society But I got mine Now, when the turkey was brought in All the people all began to grin Start to think about the good times we all would have, I couldn't say exactly when So the man grabbed the turkey right by the neck, and I swung on behind He might've thought he'd have the whole bottle and gone But I got mine I got mine I got mine Hangin' 'round here trying to get some good eats all the time Ever since then I've been living high I've been living off of chicken and wine I belong to the knockdown society But I got mine Well, I went down to a little crap game Some other police might say That man looked at me, wouldn't crack a smile, I couldn't get that fella to allay So I throwed the dice out on the floor, and he rolled out on 9 And just as the police jumped in the back door Lord, I got mine I got mine I got mine Hangin' 'round here trying to get some good eats all the time Ever since then I've been living high I've been living off of chicken and wine I belong to the knockdown society But I got mine I belong to the knockdown society But I got mine

Cool Water 03:44
All day I face the barren waste without the taste of water Cool water Old Dan and I, with throats burned dry and souls that cry for water Cool, clear water The nights are cool, and I'm a fool; each star's a pool of water Cool water And with the dawn I'll wake and yawn, and carry on to water Cool, clear water The shadows sway and seem to say, "Tonight we pray for water" Cool water And way up there He'll hear our prayer and show us where there's water Cool, clear water Keep a-moving, Dan Don't you listen to him, Dan He's a devil, not a man And he spreads the burning sand with water Oh Dan, can't you see That big green tree Where the water's running free And it's waiting there for you and me... Water Cool, clear water Dan's feet are sore, he's yearning for just one thing more than water Cool water Like me, I guess, he'd like to rest where there's no quest for water Cool, clear water Cool, clear water

Ready for the river The shivery river The river that runs down to the sea I'm gonna take my troubles And leave just some bubbles To indicate what used to be me I made my will, wrote some notes Gonna keep walkin' 'til my straw hat floats I'm ready for the river The shivery river So get the river ready for me! Wapiti wapiti Wapiti wapiti Wapiti wapiti wapiti Wapiti wapiti Wapiti wapiti Wapiti wapiti wapiti Wapiti wapiti Wapiti wapiti wapiti wa-pit- -ti wapiti wa-pi- -ti wapiti wa-pi- -ti wapiti wapiti wa-pit

When you are sad and lonely, got no place to go, Come and see me, baby, and bring along some dough And we'll go honky tonkin', honky tonkin', Honky tonkin', honey baby, We'll go honky tonkin' 'round this town When you and your baby have a falling out, Come and see me, papa, and we'll go steppin' out Yeah we'll go honky tonkin', honky tonkin', Honky tonkin', honey baby, We'll go honky tonkin' 'round this town We're going to the city, to the city fair, If you come to the city, baby, you will find me there And we'll go honky tonkin', honky tonkin', Honky tonkin', honey baby, We'll go honky tonkin' - one more! Honky tonkin', honky tonkin', Honky tonkin', honey baby, We'll go honky tonkin' 'round this town

Smoke Rings 03:37
Where do they go, those smoke rings I blow each night? What do they do, those circles of blue and white? Why do they seem to picture a dream above, Then why do they fade, my phantom parade of love? Puff, puff, puff, puff your cares away Puff, puff, puff, night and day Blow, blow them into air, silky little rings Blow, blow them everywhere, give your troubles wings

I'm so high, I'm so dry I'm way up in the sky I just smoked some gage I'm on a rampage Jack, I'm mellow I'm so high, I'm so dry I'm sailing in the sky The world seems light And I'm so right Jack, I'm mellow I'm gonna put my nickel in a slot machine and play my solid sender I'm gonna strut, peck, Suzy Q, 'cause I'm on a bender I'm so high, I'm so dry I'm way up in the sky I got my roach 'round I can't come down Jack, I'm mellow

CC Rider 03:18
CC Rider, see what you have done CC Rider, see what you have done Well, you made me love you, and now your man has come I'm going away, baby, I won't be back 'til Fall I'm going away, baby, I won't be back 'til Fall And if I find a good woman, I won't be back at all CC Rider, where'd you sleep last night? Your clothes ain't dirty, your shirt don't fit you right And you didn't come home 'til the sun was shining bright I'm gonna buy me a shotgun as long as I am tall I'm gonna buy me a shotgun as long as I am tall 'Cause if she won't have me, she'll have no one at all CC Rider, see what you have done CC Rider, see what you have done Well, you made me love you, and now your man has come
