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'

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!

Honky Tonkin'
02:30
|
|||
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

Jack, I'm Mellow
02:12
|
|||
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, 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
