Words：bryan bowers
Music：bryan bowers
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the
farewell andromeda album, and has also been released on the john
denver album.
I saw a berkley woman
Sittin' in her rockin' chair
A dulcimer in her lap
A feather in her hair
Her breasts swayed freely
With the rhythm of the rockin' chair
She was a-sittin' and a-singin' and a-swayin'
Her cheeks were red i declare
Twas hard to believe
What my eyes showed me then
The colour in her cheeks
Was just her natural skin
She wore no makeup
To make her look that way
She was a natural mama with the red cheeks
What more can i say
Well i finally realised
There was hunger in my stare
In my mind i was swayin'
With the woman in the rockin' chair
But the lady i was livin' with
Was standin' right by my side
She saw my stare and she saw my hunger
And lord it made her cry
So with anger on her face
Yes and the hurt in her eyes
She scratched me and she clawed me
She screamed and she cried
oh you don't give me near
All the lovin' that you should
Yet you're ready to go and lay with her
You're just no damn good§
Well i guess she's probably right
Oh i guess i'm probably wrong
I guess she's not too far away
She hasn't been gone very long
And i guess we could get together
And try it one more time
But i know that wanderlust would come again
She'd only wind up a-cryin'
Well now you've heard my story
Plain as the light of day
It's hard to feel guilty for lovin' the ladies
That's all i gotta say
'cept a woman is the sweetest fruit
That god ever put on the vine
I'd no more love just one kinda woman
Than drink only one kinda wine
2.Downhill Stuff
Words：john denver
Music：john denver
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the
john denver album, and has also been released on the country
classics album.
Blue river blues
I'd rather be outside
Here i am inside
Watching it rain
Blue river blues
I'd rather be somewhere
Here i am nowhere
Watching it rain
Some people like that downhill stuff
They like it fast and breezy
Some people walk on the other side
They like it slow and easy
Some people run on a mountain trail
Some like it wild and rough
Some like to fly and some like to sail
Some like the downhill stuff
There's work in what we practice
Work in the things we say
Sometime we work just to try to make a livin'
Or we're workin' just to make it pay
Sometimes we're tryin' to work our will
But that won't work anyway
I only know that i'm workin' still
Just to get another chance to play
Some people like that downhill stuff
They like it fast and breezy
Some people walk on the other side
They like it slow and easy
Some people run on a mountain trail
Some like it wild and rough
Some like to fly and some like to sail
Some like the downhill stuff
Keep a movin' in a forward direction
Like a river rollin' down to the sea
If you wanna make different selection
Honey let yourself go with gravity
Oh everybody's lookin' for heaven
Everybody's lookin' for hope
Everybody lookin' for higher and higher
But nobody wants to be lookin' alone
Everybody's tryin' to get down to it
Everybody's tryin' to sing
Whatever it is we're all gonna do it
But whatever we do
We gotta do our own thing
Some people like that downhill stuff
They like it fast and breezy
Some people walk on the other side
They like it slow and easy
Some people run on a mountain trail
Some like it wild and rough
Some like to fly and some like to sail
Some like the downhill stuff

Words：dave mellett
Music：dave mellett

america and the country roads collection albums.
Inch by inch, row by row
Gonna make this garden grow
All it takes is a rake and a hoe
And a piece of fertile ground
Inch by inch, row by row
Someone bless these seeds i sow
Someone warm them from below
Till the rain comes tumblin' down
Pullin' weeds and pickin' stones
Man is made of dreams and bones
Feel the need to grow my own
Cause the time is close at hand
Rainful rain, sun and rain
Find my way in nature's chain
Tune my body and my brain
To the music from the land
Plant your rows straight and long
Temper them with prayer and song
Mother earth will make you strong
If you give her love and care
Old crow watchin' hungrily
From his perch in yonder tree
In my garden i'm as free
As that feathered thief up there

Words：john denver
Music：john denver

album. it is the only album it has been released on.
I wish i could have been there on the highway
When the people came from miles around to see
The children of the flowers come together
I wish i could have been there in the sunshine
With the sound of lovely laughter in the air
And the music makers first began to play
To hear them play
And i wish i could have been there in the rain
When the clouds were full of castles in the sky
And i wish i could have heard the people sing
As the rhytmn and the words came floating by
I wish i could have been there in the starlight
When the country side was trying once again
And the music and the makers the poets and the singers
And the children of the flowers have all gone

Way down in louisiana close to new orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a log cabin mad of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy name of johnny b. goode
He never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell
Go, go, go johnny go
Go, go johnny go
Go, go johnny go
Go, go johnny go
Go johnny b. goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
The engineers would see him sittin' in the shade
Strummin' to the rhythm that the drivers made
People passing by would they would stop and say
Oh my but that little country boy can play
Go, go, go johnny go
Go, go johnny go
Go, go, go johnny go
Go, go, go johnny go
Go, go johnny b. goode
Well his mama told him some day you will be a man
You will be the leader of a big old band
Many people comin' from miles around
Just to hear you play your music till the sun go down
Maybe some day your name will be in lights
Sayin' johnny b. goode tonight
Go, go, go, go, go johnny go
Go, go johnny go
Go, go, go johnny go
Go, go johnny go
Go, go johnny b. goode

Joseph ＆ joe
The priest and the cowboy
The places they've been to
The places they're in
For a time between storms
On the side of a mountain
With another man's family
A family of friends
Joseph can give you
The keys to the kingdom
He'll put you in touch with
The spirit of man
Joe love the desert
But lives in the mountains
His closest companion
A left-handed man
Where do you go
If you've got no way to get there
Where do you go
How do you know
If you've never ever been there
How do you know
Tell me how do you know
Joseph i lost you
In some other city
Our paths and our crossing
Were way out of time
Joe how the seasons
Have drifted between us
Or is it your vision
Much greater then mine
Take head of the darkness
Which gathers around us
A fire that consumes us
Forever to burn
Then look to the surf
For our father is with us
Our mother will teach us
What we need to learn
Where do you go
If you've got no way to get there
Where do you go
How do you know
If you've never ever been there
How do you know
Tell me how do you know
Tell me where do you go
If you've got no way to get there
Where do you go
How do you know
If you've never ever been there
How do you know
Tell me how do you know

Knew a man bojangles and he danced for you
In worn out shoes
Silver hair ragged shirt and baggy pants
The old soft shoe
He jumped so high
He jumped so high
And he'd lightly touched down
Mr bojangles mr bojangles mr bojangles dance
Met him in a cell
New orleans he was down and out
He looked to me to be the eyes of age as he
He spoke right out
He talked about life
He talked of life
He lightly slapped his leg instead
He said the name bojangles and he danced a lick
Across the cell
He grabbed his pants and took a stance
And he jumped so high
He clicked his heels
And he let go a laugh
He let go a laugh
Shook his clothes all around
Mr bojangles mr bojangles mr bojangles dance
We danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
Throughout the south
We spoke in tears of fifteen years
How his dog and him
They travelled about
The dog up and died
He up and died
After twenty years he still grieves
They said i dance now at every chance and honky tonks
For drinks and tips
But most the time i spend behind these county bars
Cause i drinks a bit
And he shook his head now
He shook his head
And i heard someone ask please
Mr bojangles mr bojangles hey mr bojangles dance

Things that you like to see

Don't you know, it seems so wrong yea
Don't you know, it's gone on too long
I can't take the guns any more
I can't take the screams any more
I can't take the pain
It's got to stop, it's got to change
It can't go on, it can't go on
Don't you know, it's gone on too long, yes

I can't take the guns any more
I can't take the screams any more

It can't go on, it can't go on
We'll find a way
I know you can
We'll find a way
I give you my hand
We're on our way back home
We've been a long time gone
Sail away, sail away home
Sail away, sail away home yea
Sail away, sail away home
Sail away, sail away home yea
Sail away

The wheels go down
I'm back in town
Three months full of summer
And nothing to do
It's been a strain at the reins
But the picture remains
Southwind's blowin' my love to you
Southwind's blowin' my love
For sixty-one days
I got caught in the maze
Twenty thousand watching
The songs go by
The lights go down
In an east texas town
Southwind's blowin' my love to you
Southwind's blowin' my love
I couldn't wait until
Till i got back home to you
Oh to get my fill
Of those california summer nights
It's good to be home
My how the children have grown
Screen door's barking out
That old familiar tune
Games at the park
But honey wait until dark
Southwind's blowin' my love to you
Southwind's blowin' my love
I couldn't wait until
Till i got back home to you
Oh to get my fill
Of those california summer nights
The wheels go down
I'm back in town
Three months full of summer
And nothing to do
It's been a strain at the reins
But the picture remains
Southwind's blowin' my love to you
Southwind's blowin' my love
12.Sweet Melinda
This song was first released on the john denver album. it is the
only album it has been released on.
Pulled out of linden, texas
Two days and nights ago
I've been livin' on pills and burgies
Till the whites of my eyes don't show
Southbound headlights are makin' me blind
I'm too damn tired to blink
My toes are numb and my brains gone numb
And i can just barely think
Sweet melinda, my wife
The lonesome moan of this eighteen wheeler
Cuts through me like a knife
'cept for you, sweet melinda, my wife
I been ridin' on empty
Most all of my life
Two more hours of daylight
It's startin' to rain again
A sign up ahead says welcome to paradise
Population ten§
Well me and this truck and that old white line
Stumblin' on and on
Like three old drinkin' buddies
Comin' home at dawn

Virgil caine is the name, i served on the danville train
So much cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
In the summer of sixty-five we were hungry just barely alive
By may the tenth richmond had fell it's a time i remember so
well
The night they drove old dixie down and the bells were ringin'
The night they drove old dixie down and the people were singin'
They went la na na na na na la na na na na na na na
Back home in tennessee my wife called out for me
Say virgil come quick and see there goes robert e lee
I don't mind choppin' wood and i don't care if da money ain't
good
You take what you need and save the rest but they should never
have taken the
Very best
The night they drove old dixie down and the bells were ringin'
The night they drove old dixie down and the people were singin'
They went la na na na na na la na na na na na na na
Like my father before me he was a workin' man
Like my brother above me he took a rebel's stand
He was just eighteen proud and brave when a yankee laid him in
his grave
I swear by the blood beneath my feet you can't raise a caine
back up when he's
In defeat
The night they drove old dixie down and the bells were ringin'
The night they drove old dixie down and the people were singin'
They went la na na na na na la na na na na na na na
The night they drove old dixie down and the bells were ringin'
The night they drove old dixie down and the people were singin'
They went la na na na na na la na na na na na na

Words：john denver
Music：john denver
This song appears on four albums, and was first released on the
john denver album. it has also been released on the country
classics, reflections and the country roads collection albums.
You know sometimes i can't get to sleep at night
I can't quiet my heart or my mind
I toss and turn, i ache and burn
I get caught in the passing of time
It's like too many miles, too many heartaches
Too much that needs to be done
Yes and too many sidewalks, too many people
Too many hours done
What's on your mind
What's on my mind
Is really quite the same
I've been working so hard
And i'm ready to play
I know just the right game
What's on your mind
Is what's on my mind
That's the way it's gonna be
I'm gonna find me a place i can hide
I want you right next to me
On i've never seen a more beautiful day
It's my favorite time of year
The colors are changing, she's rearranging
And i'm so glad to be here
I've been up and around, i've been lost, i've been found
I've seen love face to face in my dreams
And the things that i know and the things that i show
Are not always just what they seem
What's on your mind
Is what's on my mind
It's just that way
It's like catching a ride
On a beautiful river
Let it carry us all away
What's on your mind
And what's on my mind
Is really nothing new
I want to get you alone
I want to make you my own
Baby, i want to make love with you
What's on your mind
And what's on my mind
Is really quite the same
I've been working so hard
And i'm ready to play
Baby, i know just the right game
What's on your mind
And what's on my mind
Is really nothing new
I want to get you alone
I want to make you my own
Baby, i want to make love with you

Words：john denver
Music：john denver
This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the
john denver album, and has also been released on the reflections
and the country roads collection albums.
Born on a quiet morning
Just a dream in someone's eyes
A dream that's like a promise meant to be
Giving rise to speculation
On a place called paradise
If i've ever been there
It's when you were with me
You're so beautiful
I can't believe your eyes
Each time i see you again
You're so beautiful
That i'm in paradise
Each time i see you again
I remember some hidden valley
Where the skies are never still
And alpine meadows burn in the evening light
I remember the path to glory
And the way around the hill
I remember true love's eyes
Shining in the night
You're so beautiful
I can't believe your eyes
Each time i see you again
You're so beautiful
That i'm in paradise
Each time i see you again
And if paradise is everything you see
Then the place you must be coming from
Is ecstasy
You're so beautiful
I can't believe your eyes
Each time i see you again
You're so beautiful
That i'm in paradise
Each time i see you again
Just want to see you again
I want to be with you again
I just need to love you again
Just wanna touch you again
I just need to love you again
I want to be with you again
