Doin' That Rag
Da da da da da da da da da da da
Sittin in Mangrove valley chasing light beams Everything wanders from baby to Z Baby Baby pretty it up on Tuesday Old like a rum-drinking demon at tea. Baby Baby tell me what's the matter, what, what tell me what's your why how? Tell me why will you never come home Tell me what's your reason, if you've got a good one.
Everywhere I go, the people all know Everyone's doin' that rag. Everywhere I go, the people all know Everyone's doin' that rag.
Take my line, go fishin' for a Tuesday, Maybe take my supper, eat it down by the sea. Gave my baby twenty or forty good reasons, Couldn't find any better ones in the morning at three.
THe rain gonna come, but the rain gonna go y'know. Steppin' off sharply from the rank and file. Awful cold and dark like a dungeon Maybe get a little bit darker before the day. Hipsters, flipsters, real cool chicksters Everyone's doin' that rag.
You needn't gild the lily, offer jewels to the sunset. No one is watchin' or standin' in your shoes. Wash your lonely feet in the river in the morning, Everything promised is delivered to you.
Don't neglect to pick up what your share is, All the winter birds are winging home now. Hey love go, and look around you, Nothing out there you haven't seen before now.
Wading in the water and you'll never get wet, If you keep on doin' that rag. Wading in the water and you'll never get wet, If you keep on doin' that rag.
One eyed jacks and the deuces are wild And the aces are crawlin' up and down your sleeve. Come back here pretty baby Louise And tell me the name of the game that you play.
Is it All Fall Down? Is it All Go Under?

High Time You told me goodbye, How was I to know You didn't mean goodbye, You meant please don't let me go I was having a high time, Living the good life, Well I know The wheels are muddy, Got a ton of hay, Now listen here, Baby, 'cause I mean what I say. I'm having a hard time, Living the good life, Well I know I was losing time, I had nothing to do, No one to fight, I came to you. Wheels broke down, leader won't draw, The line is busted, the last one I saw. Tomorrow come trouble, Tomorrow come pain, Now don't think too hard Baby, 'cause you know what I'm saying. I could show you a high time, Living the good life, Don't be that way. Nothing's for certain, It could always go wrong, Come in when it's raining Go on out when it's gone We could have us a high time, Living the good life, Well I know.

Its Dylan vs. The Dead!
As I Went Out One Morning
As I went out one morning To breathe the air around Tom Paine's, I spied the fairest damsel That ever did walk in chains. I offer'd her my hand, She took me by the arm. I knew that very instant, She meant to do me harm.
"Depart from me this moment," I told her with my voice. Said she, "But I don't wish to," Said I, "But you have no choice." "I beg you, sir," she pleaded From the corners of her mouth, "I will secretly accept you And together we'll fly south."
Just then Tom Paine, himself, Came running from across the field, Shouting at this lovely girl And commanding her to yield. And as she was letting go her grip, Up Tom Paine did run, "I'm sorry, sir," he said to me, "I'm sorry for what she's done."

Love Minus Zero/No Limit
My love she speaks like silence, Without ideals or violence, She doesn't have to say she's faithful, Yet she's true, like ice, like fire. People carry roses, Make promises by the hours, My love she laughs like the flowers, Valentines can't buy her.
In the dime stores and bus stations, People talk of situations, Read books, repeat quotations, Draw conclusions on the wall. Some speak of the future, My love she speaks softly, She knows there's no success like failure And that failure's no success at all.
The cloak and dagger dangles, Madams light the candles. In ceremonies of the horsemen, Even the pawn must hold a grudge. Statues made of match sticks, Crumble into one another, My love winks, she does not bother, She knows too much to argue or to judge.
The bridge at midnight trembles, The country doctor rambles, Bankers' nieces seek perfection, Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring. The wind howls like a hammer, The night blows cold and rainy, My love she's like some raven At my window with a broken wing.

Newt I already posted Black Peter here. But this thread is growing so much that repeats are inevitable.
So Many Roads
Thought I heard a blackbird singin' Up on Bluebird Hill Call me a whinin' boy if you will Born where the sun don't shine And I don't deny my name Got no place to go, ain't that a shame
Thought I heard that KC whistle Moanin sweet and low Thought I heard that KC when she blow Down where the sun don't shine Underneath the Kokomo Whinin boy - got no place to go
So many roads I tell you So many roads I know All I want is one to take me home Mountain high, river wide So many roads to ride So many roads - so many roads
Thought I heard a jug band playin' "If you don't who else will?" From over on the far side of the hill All I know is the sun don't shine And the rain refuse to fall And you don't seem to hear me when I call
Wind inside, the wind outside Tangled in the window blind Tell me why you treat me so unkind Down where the sun don't shine Lonely and I call your name No place left to go - ain't that a shame
New York to San Francisco So many roads I know All I want is one to take me home From the high road to the low So many roads I know So many roads - so many roads
From the land of the midnight sun Where the ice blue roses grow Along the roads of gold and silver snow Howlin' wide or moanin' low So many roads I know
So many roads to ease my soul So Many roads to ease my soul ....

Bertha
I had a hard run, runnin' from your window. I was all night running, running, Lord I wonder if you care, I had a run in, run around, and run down. Run around the corner, corner, Lord run smack in to a tree.
I had to move, really had to move, That's why if you please, I am on my bendin' knees, Bertha don't you come around here anymore.
Dressed myself in green, I went down unto the sea. Try to see what's goin' down, try to read between the lines. I had a feelin' I was fallin', fallin', fallin', I turned around to see, Heard a voice al callin', Lord you was commin' after me.
I had to move, really had to move, That's why if you please, I am on my bendin knees, Bertha don't you come around here anymore.
Ran into a rainstorm, I ducked back into Novato. It's all night pourin', pourin', pourin', Lord but not a drop on me. Test me, test me, Test me, test me, test me, Why don't you arrest me? Throw me in to the jailhouse, Lord until the sun goes down, 'till it goes down.
I had to move, really had to move, That's why if you please, I am on my bendin' knees, Bertha don't you come around here anymore.
I had to move, really had to move, That's why if you please, I am on my bendin' knees, Bertha don't you come around here anymore.

The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion)
See that girl, barefootin' along, Whistlin' and singin', she's a carryin' on. There's laughing in her eyes, dancing in her feet, She's a neon-light diamond and she can live on the street.
Hey hey, hey, come right away Come and join the party every day.
Well everybody's dancin' in a ring around the sun Nobody's finished, we ain't even begun. So take off your shoes, child, and take off your hat. Try on your wings and find out where it's at.
Hey hey, hey, come right away Come and join the party every day.
Take a vacation, fall out for a while, Summer's comin' in, and it's goin' outa style Well, lie down smokin', honey, have yourself a ball Your mother's down in Memphis, won't be back 'till the fall.
Hey hey, hey, come right away Come and join the party every day.

Dear landlord, Please don't put a price on my soul. My burden is heavy, My dreams are beyond control. When that steamboat whistle blows, I'm gonna give you all I got to give, And I do hope you receive it well, Dependin' on the way you feel that you live.
Dear landlord, Please heed these words that I speak. I know you've suffered much, But in this you are not so unique. All of us, at times, we might work too hard To have it too fast and too much, And anyone can fill his life up With things he can see but he just cannot touch.
Dear landlord, Please don't dismiss my case. I'm not about to argue, I'm not about to move to no other place. Now, each of us has his own special gift And you know this was meant to be true, And if you don't underestimate me, I won't underestimate you.

Newt that must have been an awesome encore. Golden Road seems like a good encore song. When I saw The Other Ones last December in Chicago they opened with Golden Road.
Fire on the Mountain
Long distance runner, what you standin' there for? Get up, get up, get out of the door Your playin' cold music on the barroom floor Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core. There's a dragon with matches that's loose on the town Take a whole pail of water just to cool him down.
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Almost ablaze still you don't feel the heat It takes all you got just to stay on the beat. You say it's a livin', we all gotta eat But you're here alone, there's no one to compete. If mercy's in bus?ness, I wish it for you More than just ashes when your dreams come true.
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Long distance runner, what you holdin' out for? Caught in slow motion in a dash for the door. The flame from your stage has now spread to the floor You gave all you had, Why you wanna give more? The more that you give, the more it will take Till the thin line beyond which you really can't fake.
Fire! Fire on the mountain!

That's It For The Other One
The other day they waited, the sky was dark and faded, Solemnly they stated, "He has to die, you know he has to die." All the children learnin', from books that they were burnin', Every leaf was turnin' ; to watch him die, you know he had to die.
The summer sun looked down on him, his mother could but frown on him, And all the others sound on him, but it doesn't seem to matter.
And when the day had ended, with rainbow colors blended, His mind remained unbended, he had to die, you know he had to die.
Spanish lady comes to me, she lays on me this roes. It rainbow spirals round and round it trembles and explodes. It left a smoking crater of my mind I like to blow away. But the heat came 'round and busted me for smiling on a cloudy day.
Comin', comin', comin' around, comin', around, comin', around, in a circle Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' around, in a circle, Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' in a circle.
Skippin' through the lily fields I came across an empty space, It trembled and exploded, left a bus stop in it's place. The bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began, There was cowboy Neal at the wheel of the bus to never ever land.
Comin', comin', comin' around, comin', around, comin', around, in a circle Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' around, in a circle, Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' in a circle.
And when the day had ended, with rainbow colors blended, Their minds remained unbended, He had to die, Oh, you know he had to die.

You forgot Sugaree in that list. here's a mother load...
Casey Jones
Drivin? that train, high on cocaine, Casey Jones you?d better watch your speed Trouble ahead, trouble behind And you know that notion just crossed my mind.
This old engine makes it on time Leaves central station at a quarter to nine Hits River Junction at seventeen to, At a quarter to ten you know it?s travelin? again
Drivin? that train, high on cocaine, Casey Jones you?d better watch your speed Trouble ahead, trouble behind And you know that notion just crossed my mind.
Trouble ahead, a lady in red Take my advice you?d be better off dead Switch man sleepin?, train a hundred and two Is on the wrong track and headed for you
Drivin? that train, high on cocaine, Casey Jones you?d better watch your speed Trouble ahead, trouble behind And you know that notion just crossed my mind.
Trouble with you is the trouble with me, Got two good eyes but we still don?t see Come ?round the bend you know it?s the end ?Cause the fireman screams and the engine just gleams
Drivin? that train, high on cocaine, Casey Jones you?d better watch your speed Trouble ahead, trouble behind And you know that notion just crossed my mind.
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.
Corrina
Hog of a Sunday Dog of a Monday Get it back some day What'd I say? Movin' in closer Cut from a long shot Fade on a down beat Ready or not Ready or not
Corrina Shake it up, baby Corrina Shake it up now Corrina Corrina
Cruise thru a stop sign Loggin' up short time Bird on a phone line Soakin' up sun Salt on the crowtail What can I do? I'm down by law But true to you
Corrina Shake it up, baby Corrina Shake it up now Corrina Corrina
If, what, when and where Told at the proper time Big black wings beat at the wind But they don't hardly climb There's a silver ocean Silver clouds on a silver sea A bird on the horizon Silver wingin back to me
Corrina Shake it up, baby Corrina Shake it up now Corrina Corrina
Shake it up, baby Shake it down easy Bring it back someday What'd I say? Movin' in closer Cut from a long shot Fade on a down beat Ready or not
Corrina Shake it up, baby Corrina Shake it up now Corrina Corrina
If, what, when and where Don't mean a thing to me I would love you Even if you flew away from me I just stand here waiting Where the circle is complete There is no fear that lovers born Could ever fail to meet
Corrina Shake it up, baby Corrina Shake it up now Corrina Corrina
My Brother Esau
My brother Esau killed the hunter, back in 1969, Before the killing was done his inheritance was mine. When at first my brother walked away, Before a weary band, Esau gave his sleeplessness for a piece of moral land.
Our father favored Esau, who was eager to obey, All the wild commandments, the old man shot his way. But all this favor ended when, my brother failed at war, He staggered home and found me in the door.
Esau he's on rollerskates today, Selling real estate to someone in L.A. Still sometimes at night I dream, he's still that hairy man, Shadow boxing the apocalypse, wandering the land.
Esau holds the blessing, brother Esau holds the curse, I was thinking that the blame was mine, But suspected something worse. The more my brother looks like me, the less I understand, The silent war it bloodied both our hands.
Peggy-O
As we marched out to Fennerio As we marched out to Fennerio Our Captain fell in love With a lady like a dove And he called her by name, Pretty Peggy-O
Would you marry me, pretty Peggy-O? Would you marry me, pretty Peggy-O? If you would marry me, I would set your cities free Free all the ladies in the are-o
I would marry you, sweet William-O I would marry you, sweet William-O I would marry you but your Guineas are too few And I fear my mama would be angry-o
What would your mama think, pretty Peggy-O What would your mama think, pretty Peggy-O If she heard my Guineas clink? Saw me marching at the head of my soilders-o.
Come a-steppin down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O Come a-steppin down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O Come a-steppin down the stairs Combin' back your yellow hair Bid a last fair well to your William-O
For if ever I return, pretty Peggy-O If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O If ever I return All your cities I will burn Destroy all the ladies in the are-o
Sweet William he is dead, pretty Peggy-O Sweet William he is dead, pretty Peggy-O Sweet William he is dead, And he died for a maid And he's burried in Louisana country-O
As we marched out to Fenerio As we marched out to Fenerio Our Captain fell in love With a lady like a dove And he called her by name, Pretty Peggy-O
Queen Jane Approximately
When your mother sends back all your invitations And your father to your sister he explains That you're tired of yourself and all of your creations Won't you come see me Queen Jane? Won't you come see me Queen Jane?
Now when all of the flower ladies want back what they have lent you And the smell of their roses does not remain And all of your children start to resent you Won't you come see me Queen Jane? Won't you come see me Queen Jane?
Now when all the clowns that you have commissioned Have all died in battle or in vain And you're sick of all this repetition Won't you come see me Queen Jane? Won't you come see me Queen Jane?
When all of your advisers heave their plastic At your feet to convince you of your pain Trying to prove that your conclusions should be more drastic Won't you come see me Queen Jane? Won't you come see me Queen Jane?
Now when all the bandits that you turned your other cheek to All lay down their bandanas and complain And you want somebody you don't have to speak to Won't you come see me Queen Jane? Won't you come see me Queen Jane?

You forgot some!
Dupree's Diamond Blues
When I was just a little young boy, Papa said son, you'll never get far, Tell you the reason, if you wanna know, Cause child of mine, there isn't really far to go.
Well, baby baby wants a gold diamond ring, Wants it more than any old thing, Well when I get those jelly-roll blues, Why I go and get anything in this world for you.
Down to the jewelry store packin' a gun, Says, "Wrap it up I think I'll take this one." "A thousand dollars please," the jewelry man said, Dupree said, "I'll pay this one off to you in lead."
Well you know son, you just can't figure, First thing you know you're gonna to pull that trigger, And it's no wonder, your reason goes bad, Jelly-roll will drive you so mad.
Judge said, "Son, it's gonna cost you some time." Dupree said, "Judge you know that crossed my mind." Judge said, "Fact it's gonna cost you your life." Dupree said, "Judge you know that seems to me to be about right."
Baby baby you gonna lose her sweet man, Dupree come out with a losin' hand, Baby's gonna weep it up for a while, Then go out and find another sweet man's gonna treat her with style.
Judge said, "Son, I know your baby well, But that's a secret I can never tell." Dupree said, "Judge well it's well understood, But you got to admit that sweet Jelly's so good."
Well you know son, you just can't figure, First thing you know you're gonna to pull that trigger, And it's no wonder, your reason goes bad,
Same old story and I know it's been told, Some like Jelly Jelly, some like gold, Many a man's done a terrible thing Just to get, baby a shinin' diamond ring.

Samson & Delilah
If I had my way, I would tear this old building down.
Delilah was a woman, she was fine and fair, She had lovely looks, and coal black hair. Delilah she gained old Samson's mind. When first he saw this woman, she looked so fine. Delilah she climbed up on Samson's knee, Said, "Tell me where your strength lies if you please." And She spoke so kind, God knows, she talked so fair, Samson said, "Delilah, you cut off my hair. You can shave my head, clean as my hand My strength come's natural as any old man.
If I had my way, If I had my way, If I had my way, I would tear this old building down."
You read about Samson, all from his birth, He was the strongest man that ever had lived on earth. One day when Samson was walking along, Looked down on the ground, he saw an old jawbone. He stretched out his arm, God knows, chains broke like thread, When he got to moving, ten thousand was dead.
Now Samson and the lion, they got in attack, Samson he crawled up on the lion's back. You read about this lion, he killed a man with his paws, Samson got his hands up around that lion's jaws. And he ripped that beast, God knows he killed him dead. And the bees made honey in the lion's head.
Rubin & Cherise
Cherise was brushing her long hair gently down It was the afternoon of carnival as she brushes it gently down Rubin was strumming his painted mandolin It was inlaid with a pretty face in jade Played in the carnival parade
Cherise was dressing as Pirouette in white When a fatal vision gripped her tight Cherise beware tonight Rubin, Rubin tell me truly true I feel afraid and I don't know why I do, Is there another girl for you?
If you could see in my heart you would know it's true There's none Cherise, except for you, Except for you I'd swear to it on my very soul, If I lie, may I fall down cold
When Rubin played on his painted mandolin The breeze would pause to listen in before going its way again Masquerade began when nightfall finally woke Like waves against the bandstand, dancers broke to the painted mandolin
Looking out on the crowd who was standing there Sweet Ruby Claire at Rubin stared, at Rubin stared She was dressed as Pirouette in red And her hair hung gently down
The crowd pressed round, Ruby stood as though alone Rubin's song took on a different tone and he played it just for her The song that he played was the carnival parade Each note cut a thread of Cherise's fate it cut through like a blade
Rubin was playing his painted mandolin When Ruby froze and turned to stone for the strings played all alone The voice of Cherise from the face of the mandolin Singing Rubin, Rubin tell me true for I have no one but you
If you could see in my heart you would know it true There's none Cherise, except for you, except for you I'd swear to it on my very soul, If I lie, may I fall down cold
The truth of love an unsung song must tell The course of love must follow blind without a look behind Rubin walked the streets of New Orleans till dawn Cherise so lightly in his arms and her hair hung gently down

Tennessee Jed
Cold iron shackles, ball and chain, Listen to the whistle of the evenin' train. You know you bound to wind up dead, If you don't head back to Tennessee Jed.
Rich man step on my poor head, When you get back you better butter my bread. Well, do you know it's like I said, You better head back to Tennessee Jed.
Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain't no place I'd rather be, Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee.
Drink all day and rock all night, The law come to get you if you don't walk right Got a letter this morning, baby all it read, You better head back to Tennessee Jed.
I dropped four flights and cracked my spine, Honey, come quick with the iodine, Catch a few winks, baby, under the bed Then you head back to Tennessee Jed.
Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain't no place I'd rather be, Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee.
I run into Charlie Fog, Blacked my eye and he kicked my dog, My doggie turned to me and he said, Let's head back to Tennessee Jed. I woke up a felin' mean, Went down to play the slot machine, The wheels turned around, and the letters read, You better head back to Tennessee Jed.
Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain't no place I'd rather be, Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee.
