1.Ain't No Song
There ain't no melody
And i can't find a harmony
If there were a way to say it
You know i would have played it
Well, i'm a man of few words
Trying to find a rhyme
And finally it occurred to me
That i'm wasting my time
There ain't no rhyme or reason
Ain't no time or season
Ain't no way around it
I know i would have found it
There ain't no song in the whole wide world
Could hardly sing without you
There ain't no song in the whole wide world
To tell you the way that i feel
Painters use their eyes
To show us what they see
But when that canvas dries
We all see it differently
There ain't black or white
There ain't no day or night
There ain't no way around it
You know i would have found it
Chorus
No, no, no, i might as well pack it on up
Not even this song's gonna tell you the way that i feel
2.Daddy's Baby
Daddy's baby what's got you thinking
What's got you sinking so low
It there something i should know
Something new to you
Daddy's baby fussing and fretting
Keeping on getting it wrong
She can only last so long
(i think there's a line missing right here.)
So sing her a lullabye-bye
Baby don't like to cry
So sing her a lullabye-bye
Swaddle and swing her
Sing her a lullabye
She makes her feelings known to me
Her every side is shown to me
And in our time alone
Our love has surely grown of its own
Solid as a stepping stone
Silently as the dawn was breaking
Soft and clear
And my tears were dry
And my fears had flown
So i called my love my home
3.Fading Away
When i've got something to say
Well, don't i always let you know
So that you and i can go my way together
And if i get carried away
Well, i could be sailing on a song
And maybe we could carry on forever
But lately this old dog
Has been chasing his tail
Round and round and round
And the circles in my mind
They have been winding slowly down
Everybody's breezing up
But i'm seizing up
I'm freezing up
And i'm fading away
I've got a hold on a night in june
I've got room for you and me
I've got moonlight up in the trees
I've got sixty-eight degrees
I've got nothing on my mind
But i've got loving in my heart
And i've got something out in the garden
I want to show you
Well, it really doesn't matter after all
If we quit this round about
And no one will really notice
If we can just sit this next one out
You can strike up the band without me
You may have your doubts about me
But i'm just fading away
You can hardly even see me
Because i'm fading away
Well, it's hard to find a label
For this feeling in my bones
That this is all a make-believe
But my cards are on the table
And there ain't nothing up my sleeve
And here i thought i was a thinking man
But i'm a shrinking man, i'm sinking man
I'm fading, fading away
Well, it's really not so bad to be fading away
Come on along with me and we'll go fading away
You can hardly even hear me because
I'm fading away
4.Hello Old Friend
Paris' rooftops were lovely to see
Switzerland's vertical landscape
Crossed my mind's eye just now
Canada's shoreline has been calling out to me
But it's been too long a time
Since last i crossed
That vast nantucket sound
Refrain
Hello old friend
Welcome me home again
Well, i've been away
But that's all over now
Say i can stay for october, now
Stay a while and play
Little dog david
I must look like a fool
I should've remembered
You'd be forgetting my smell, well
Give me a week or two to recapture my cool
I've got stories to tell
About how i snatched the devil's catch
And out ran the hounds of hell
Refrain
5.Let It All Fall Down
Sing a song for the wrong
And the wicked and the strong
And the sick, as thick as thieves
For the faceless fear that was never so near
Too clear to misbelieve
Well the sea is jumping salty
And the porpoise has the blues
My recollection's faulty
And i cannot find my shoes
And my wiring is misfiring
Due to cigarettes and booze
I'm behind in my dues
I just now got the news
He seems to tell us lies
And still we will believe him
Then together he will lead us
Into darkness, my friends
Refrain：
Let it fall down, let it fall down
Let it all fall down
Let it fall down, let it fall down
Let it all fall down
The man says stand to one side, son
We got to keep this big ball rolling
It's just a question of controlling
For whom the bell is tolling
Refrain
There'll be suffering and starvation
In the streets young man
Just where have you been, old man
Just look out of your window, man
Refrain
Well, it ain't nobody's fault but our own
Still, at least we might could show the good sense
To know when we've been wrong
And it's already taken too long
So we bring it to a stop
Then we take it from the top
We let it settle on down softly
Like your gently falling snow
Or let it tumble down and topple
Like the temple long ago
Refrain
6.Me And My Guitar
Me and my guitar
Always in the same mood
I am mostly flesh and bones
And he is mostly wood
Never does grow impatient
For the changes i don't know, no
If he can't go to heaven
Maybe, i don't want to go, lord
Picture me in the key of e
Call me uncle john
Any fool can easily see
That we go back a long time
Feel something like fine to me
There's no such thing as the wrong time
He hops up on my knee
Singing, get down pops
It's song time
Every now and then i'm a lonely man
It's nice to know that i've got a friend
Puts his power right in my hand
All l've got to do is the best i can
If i can
Got a dog named david
Got a bird named dinah
Got a birthmark on my thigh
In the shape of mainland china
Got a somewhat southern accent
'cause i come from carolina
And if you want to find us
We'll be walking right behind you
I hear horns
I hear voices
I hear strings
Seems i was born
With too many choices
Now what am i going to do
With all these extra things
As they serve to confuse me, really
It's me and my guitar
Essentially me and my guitar
Oh maybe a few friends fall by for tea
A little bit of who do you love
But pay no attention
To the man behind the curtain
It's me and my guitar
Having fun, boogie, woogie, uh-huh
Me and my guitar
7.Migration
Distant hands in foreign lands
Are turning hidden wheels
Causing things to come about
Which no one seems to feel
All invisible from where we stand
The connections come to pass
And though too strange to comprehend
They affect us nonetheless, yes
Once again a time of change
O the change makes music
And the children will dance
See the pieces of the picture rearrange themselves
It feels just like a symphony to me,
With nothing left to chance
Just look over your shoulder
It's out of you hands
It's over for now
Leave behind what you can
You can always return
The rhythm remains unbroken
Unspoken but loud and clear
It's a slow vibration. migration
Mystery muse, how i hunger for an answer
Unsung song, how i long to play the changes
Hidden rhythm, haven't i always been your dancer
Sacred secrets of the meaning to my dreaming. migration
8.Rock 'n Roll Is Music Now
Mama knows and papa knows
That rock 'n roll is music now
Baby's been cutting his teeth on
Bo diddley's, i'm a man, man
Listen to the wolfman howl
See the white man sailing his ship up on the sea
Watch the white man shackle
The black man to a tree
To the invader go the fruits of war
He misses home and his boots are sore
He has not got no roots no more
He comes for your gold
Watch out for your soul
Cause tennis shoes, and rhythm and blues
Are second generation
All across the nation, now
And mama knows, papa too
Rock 'n roll is music
Rock 'n roll is music, now
To the invader go the fruits of war
He misses home and his boots are sore
He has not got no roots no more
He comes for your gold
But watch out for your soul
Mama knows and papa knows
That rock 'n roll is music
Rock 'n roll is music, now
9.The Promised Land
Left my home in norfolk, virginia
California on my mind
Straddled that greyhound
And rode it into raleigh
And on across caroline
We stopped in charlotte
But we bypassed rockhill
We never was a minute late
We were ninety miles out of atlanta by sundown
Rolling out of georgia state
Had some motor trouble
That turned into a struggle
Half way 'cross alabam
That hound broke and left us
All stranded in downtown birmingham
So right away i bought me a through train ticket
Right across mississippi clean
And i was on that special flyer
Out of birmingham
Smoking into new orleans
Someone's got to help me get out of louisiana
Just to help me get to houston town
There's an uncle there who cares a little about me
And he won't let the poor boy down
Sure as you're born
He bought me a silk suit
Put some luggage in my hand
And i woke up high over albuquerque
On a jet to the promised land
Working on a t-bone steak
A la carte
Flying over to the golden state
When the pilot told us that in thirteen minutes
He would have us at the terminal gate
Swing down chariot
Come down easy
Taxi to the terminal dome
Cut your engines
And cool your wings
And let me make it to the telephone
Los angeles give me norfolk, virginia
Tidewater four-ten-o-nine
Tell the folks back home
This is the promised land calling
And the poor boy is on the line
10.Walking Man
Moving in silent desperation
Keeping an eye on the holy land
A hypothetical destination
Say, who is this waliking man？
Well, the leaves have come to turning
And the goose has gone to fly
And bridges are for buning
So don't you let that yearning
Pass you by
Walking man, walking man walks
Well, any other man stops and talks
But the walking man walks
Well the frost is on the pumpkin
And the hay is in the barn
An pappy's come to rambling on
Stumbling around drunk
Down on the farm
And the walking man walks
Doesn't know nothing at all
Any other man stops and talks
But the walking man walks on by
Walk on by
Most everybody's got seed to sow
It ain't always easy for a weed to grow, oh no
So he don't hoe the row for no one
Oh for sure he's always missing
And something is never quite right
Ah, but who would want to listen to you
Kissing his existence good night
Walking man walk on by my door
Well, any other man stops and talks
But not the walking man
He's the walking man
Born to walk
Walk on walking man
Well now, would he have wings to fly
Would he be free
Golden wings against the sky
Walking man, walk on by
So long, walking man, so long
