I went down to the mountain, I was drinking some wine I looked up into heaven, lord I saw a mighty sign Writ in fire across the heaven, plain as black and white Get prepared, there's gonna be a party tonight
Chorus Uh huh, hey, Saturday night One more Saturday night Hey, Saturday night
Everybody's dancing down at the local armoury With a basement full of dynamite and live artillery Temperature keeps rising, everybody getting high Come the rocking stroke of midnight, the whole place is gonna fly
[chorus]
I turn on Channel Six, the President comes on the news Says I got no satisfaction, that's why I sing the blues His wife says don't get crazy, Lord you know what to do Just crank that old Victrola, put on your rocking shoes
[chorus]
Then God way up in heaven, for whatever it was worth Thought he'd have a big old party, thought he'd call it planet earth Don't worry about tomorrow, Lord, you'll know it when it comes When the rocking, rolling music meets the rising, shining sun
[chorus]

Thanks
And here's one for you!
Mountains of the Moon
Cold mountain water, the jade merchant's daughter, Mountains of the moon, electra bow and bend to me. Hi ho the carrion crow fol de rol de riddle Hi ho the carrion crow bow and bend to me.
Hey, Tom Banjo hey a laurel, more than laurel you say sow. More than laurel you may sow. Hey, the laurel, hey the city in the rain, Hey, hey, hey the wild wheat waving in the wind.
Twenty degrees of solitude, twenty degrees in all, All the dancing kings and wives assembled in the hall. Lost is the long and loneliest town fairly sybil flying. All along the, all along the mountains of the moon.
Hey, Tom Banjo it's time to matter, The earth will see you on through this time, The earth will see you on through this time.
Down by the water, the Marsh King's daughter, did you know? Clothed in totters always will be. Tom, where did you go?
Mountains of the moon, Electra, mountains of the moon, All along the, all along the mountains of the moon.
Hi ho the carrion crow fol de rol de riddle Hi ho the carrion crow bow and bend to me. Bend to me. Na da da da da da da da da da da da.

Here's a great one!
Mexicali Blues
Laid back in an old saloon, with a peso in my hand, Watchin' flies and children on the street, And I catch a glimpse of black-eyed girls who giggle when I smile, There's a little boy who wants to shine my feet.
And it's three days ride from Bakersfield and I don't know why I came. I guess I came to keep from payin' dues. So instead I've got a bottle and a girl who's just fourteen, And a damn good case of the Mexicali Blues. Yeh!
Is there anything a man don't stand to lose, When the devil wants to take it all away? Cherish well your thoughts, and keep a tight grip on your booze, Cause thinkin' and drinkin' are all I have today.
She said her name was Billy Jean and she was fresh in town. I didn't know a stage line ran from Hell. She had raven hair, a ruffled dress, a necklace made of gold, All the french perfume you'd care to smell.
She took me up into her room and whispered in my ear, "Go on, my friend, do anything you choose." Now I'm payin' for those happy hours I spent there in her arms, With a lifetime's worth of the Mexicali Blues.
Is there anything a man don't stand to lose, When the devil wants to take it all away? Cherish well your thoughts, and keep a tight grip on your booze Cause thinkin' and drinkin' are all I have today.
And then a man rode into town, some thought he was the law. Billy Jean was waitin' when he came. She told me he would take her, if I didn't use my gun, I'd have no one but myself to blame.
I went down to those dusty streets, blood was on my mind. I guess that stranger hadn't heard the news Cause I shot first and killed him, Lord, he didn't even draw And he made me trade the gallows for the Mexicali Blues.
Is there anything a man don't stand to lose When he lets a woman hold him in her hands? He just might find himself out there on horseback in the dark Just ridin' and runnin' across those desert sands.

Hunter wrote this one about the great train ride across Canada with the Dead, Airplane, Janis, The Band and others! he said it was one of the greatest times ever!
Might As Well
Great North Special, would you all board You can't find a ride like that no more, The night the chariot swung down low Ninety-nine children had a chance to go.
One long party from front to end Tune to the whistle going round the bend, No great hurry, what do you say? Might as well to be every way.
Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well, Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well, Might as well, might as well, might as well.
Ragtime slowly for twenty-five miles Then switch over to the cajun style Bar car blowing rhythm and blues, Rock 'n' roll wailing in the old caboose.
Long train running from coast to coast Bringing home a party when you need it the most Work on the box car, beat on the bell Nothing else shaking so you might just as well.
Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well, Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well, Might as well, might as well, might as well.
Never had such a good time in my life before I'd like to have it one time more Whoa! One good ride from start to end, I'd like to take that ride again, again!
Ran out of track and I caught the plane Back in the county with the blues again Great North Special been on my mind
Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well, Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well, Might as well, might as well, might as well.

Walk me out in the morning dew my honey, Walk me out in the morning dew today. I can?t walk you out in the morning dew my honey, I can?t walk you out in the morning dew today.
I thought I heard a baby cry this morning, I thought I heard a baby cry this today. You didn?t hear no baby cry this morning, You didn?t hear no baby cry today.
Where have all the people gone my honey, Where have all the people gone today. There?s no need for you to be worrying about all those people, You never see those people anyway.
I thought I heard a young man morn this morning, I thought I heard a young man morn today. I thought I heard a young man morn this morning, I can?t walk you out in the morning dew today.
Walk me out in the morning dew my honey, Walk me out in the morning dew today. I?ll walk you out in the morning dew my honey, I guess it doesn?t really matter anyway, I guess it doesn?t matter anyway, I guess it doesn?t matter anyway, Guess it doesn?t matter anyway.

Dupree's Dimond Blues When I was just a little young boy, Papa said "Son, you'll never get far, I'll tell you the reason if you want to know, 'cause child of mine, there isn't really very far to go"
Well baby, baby wants a gold diamond ring Wants it more than most any old thing Well when I get those jelly roll blues Why I'd go and get anything in this world for you.
Down to the jewelry store packing a gun, says "Wrap it up. I think I'll take this one" "A thousand dollars please," the jewelry man said Dupree he 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 pull that trigger and it's no wonder your reason goes bad - jelly roll will drive you stone mad
Judge said "Son, this 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"
Well baby, baby's gonna lose her sweet man Dupree come out with a losing hand Baby's gonna weep it up for awhile then go on 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't never tell" Dupree said "Judge, well it's well understood, and you got to admit that that sweet, sweet jelly's so good"
Well you know son you just can't figure, first thing you know you're gonna pull that trigger and it's no wonder your reason goes bad, jelly roll will drive you stone mad
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 that shiny diamond ring.

CHINA DOLL
A pistol shot at 5 o'clock The bells of heaven ring "Tell me what you done it for" "No I won't tell you a thing
"Yesterday I begged you before I hit the ground - all I leave behind me is only what I found
"If you can abide it let the hurdy gurdy play - Stranger ones have come by here before they flew away
"I will not condemn you nor yet would I deny" "I would ask the same of you but failing will not die
"Take up your china doll it's only fractured - and just a little nervous from the fall"

EYES OF THE WORLD
Right outside this lazy summer home you don't have time to call your soul a critic, no Right outside the lazy gate of winter's summer home wondering where the nut-thatch winters Wings a mile long just carried the bird away
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world but the heart has its beaches its homeland and thoughts of its own Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings but the heart has its seasons its evenings and songs of its own
There comes a redeemer and he slowly too fades away There follows a wagon behind him that's loaded with clay and the seeds that were silent all burst into bloom and decay The night comes so quiet and it's close on the heels of the day
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world but the heart has its beaches its homeland and thoughts of its own Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings but the heart has its seasons its evenings and songs of its own
Sometimes we live no particular way but our own Sometimes we visit your country and live in your home Sometimes we ride on your horses Sometimes we walk alone Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world but the heart has its beaches its homeland and thoughts of its own Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings but the heart has its seasons its evenings and songs of its own

Hey its like its always been for me a day late and a dollar short. well here is a nother one its a Dylan song but what the hey.
You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last. But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast. Yonder stands your orphan with his gun, Crying like a fire in the sun. Look out the saints are comin' through And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense. Take what you have gathered from coincidence. The empty-handed painter from your streets Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets. This sky, too, is folding under you And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home. All your reindeer armies, are all going home. The lover who just walked out your door Has taken all his blankets from the floor. The carpet, too, is moving under you And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you. Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you. The vagabond who's rapping at your door Is standing in the clothes that you once wore. Strike another match, go start anew And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

I love this song, they didn't play it too much though:
Cosmic charlie how do you do? truckin? in style along the avenue. Dum de dum de doodley do. go on home your mama?s calling you. Kalico, kahlia, come tell me the news. Calamity?s waiting for a way to get to her. Rosy red and electric blue I bought you a paddle for your paper canoe.
Say you?ll come back when you can whenever your airplane happens to land. Maybe I?ll be back here too it all depends on what?s with you. Hung up waiting for a windy day kite one ice since the first of february. Mama keeps saying that the wind might blow , But standing here I say I just don?t know.
New ones comin? as the old ones go, Everything?s moving here but much too slow now, A little bit quicker and we might have time, To say "how do you do? " before we?re left behind. Calliope wail like a seaside zoo. the very last lately inquired about you, It?s really very one or two. the first you wanted, the last I knew.
I just wonder if you shouldn?t feel, Less concerned about the people unreal. The very first word is "how do you do? ", The last "go home your mama?s callin? you."
Calling you, calling you, calling you, calling you, Go on home your mama?s calling you.

ill get down on some of this action
lazy river road
Way down upon Sycamore Slough a white man sings the blues selling roses of paper mach? with flecks of starlight dew I swiped a bunch and threw it your way where hazy moonlight glowed Way down down along Lazy River Road
Way down upon Shadowfall Ward End of the avenue Run, hide, seek in your own backyard Mama's backyard won't do All night long I sang Love's Sweet Song down where the water flowed Way down down along Lazy River Road
Moonlight wails as hound dogs bay but never quite catch the tune Stars fall down in buckets like rain till there ain't no standin' room Bright blue boxcars train by train clatter while dreams unfold Way down down along Lazy River Road
Way down upon Seminole Square belly of the river tide call for me and I will be there for the price of the taxi ride Night time double-clutches into today like a truck downshifting its load Way down down along Lazy River Road
Thread the needle right through the eye The thread that runs so true All the others I let pass by I only wanted you Never cared for careless love but how your bright eyes glowed Way down down along Lazy River Road
