1.It's Not Happening
Lyricist：Frazey Obadiah Ford
The way your mind works
Drivin' so fast, carving your way
Through the city
Well, you can't tell me
You get what you want
You've figured it out
And you're just fine
'Cuz you're talking to yourself
You don't hear a thing
And all history unfolds before you
But you shut your eyes
But you shut your eyes
It's not happening
We all grew up and
We fend for ourselves
And we fend for each other
We fend for each other sometimes
But you keep on racin' and runnin'
Like something is chasing you
Like something's gonna get you
Well, something's gonna get you one day
You're talking to yourself
You don't hear a thing
And all history unfolds before you
But you shut your eyes
But you shut your eyes
It's not happening
And you're talking to yourself
Don't hear a thing
And all history unfolds before you
But you shut your eyes
But you shut your eyes
It's not happening
But you shut your eyes
But you shut your eyes
It's not happening, oh, no, no
2.Momsong
Lyricist：Frazey Obadiah Ford
You said to yourself that we did not love you
All of the years didn't mean nothing
You told yourself we would not forgive you
Mistakes that you made would keep us separated
Comin' home hard day done
Comin' home hard day done
Don't you know it's your laugh we laugh
That pulls us through
And the strength and the love that we carry
We got it from you
3.Broken Telephone
Lyricist：Frazey Obadiah Ford
I'll be the wind in your leaves
The warmth of the sun
I'm always drawing your colors
I'm always tracing your footsteps
It's a hard world, it's a cold world
I could never say what I mean
I went looking in all the wrong places
There's nothing wrong with you
Broken telephone
The lines are down
The wires no longer reaching
Connection's gone
Higher and higher I am taken by
What you've given to me
Higher and higher I am taken by
What you've given to me, what you've given to me
What you've given to me
I'll be the wind in your leaves
The warmth of the sun
I'm always drawing your colors
I'm always tracing your footsteps
It's a hard world, it's a cold world
I could never say, what I mean
I went looking in all the wrong places
There's nothing wrong with you
Broken telephone
The lines are down
I throw myself at nothing
I throw myself at nothing
Higher and higher I am taken by
What you've given to me
Higher and higher I am taken by
What you've given to me, what you've given to me
What you've given to me
4.In Spite of All the Damage
Lyricist：Frazey Obadiah Ford
If I wanted to say to you
That I wanted to see your face again
That I want to hear you laughing
In spite of all the damage I've done
If I wanted to hear you talkin'
Or to hear your sense of things
Or to call you up on a Sunday morning
In spite of all the damage I've done
Well, I broke our home
And left you nowhere to run
Yes, I broke our home
And left you nowhere to run
But I never knock my days away
I think you understand that I could not stay
But I like to hear you laughing, oh
In spite of all the damage I've done
In spite of all the damage I've done
Well, I broke our home
And left you nowhere to run
Yes, I broke our home
And left you nowhere to run
5.For The Turnstiles
Lyricist：Neil Young
All the sailors with their seasick mamas
Hear the sirens on the shore
They're singin' songs for pimps with tailors
Who charge ten dollars at the door
And you can really learn a lot that way
It will change you in the middle of the day
Though your confidence may be shattered
It doesn't matter
And all the great explorers
Are now in granite laid
Under white sheets for the great unveiling
At the big parade
And you can really learn a lot that way
It will change you in the middle of the day
Though your confidence, it may be shattered
It doesn't matter
And all the bush league batters
Are left to die on the diamond
And in the stands the home crowd scatters
For the turnstiles
For the turnstiles
For the turnstiles
For the turnstiles
6.The Junkie Song
Lyricist：Frazey Obadiah Ford
Took a walk in my neighborhood
Two in the morning
By the Skytrain Station
The streets were full of junkies and homeless
And they all wanted something
They all wanted something
And what am I supposed to do？
There are too many of you
Too many of you
Yeah, sometimes look you in the eye
Say that, 'I too am human, I could easily be here'
Although we all hover between apathy and compassion
We fill up all our days with so much distraction
What makes it easier and to see what we don't want to
But we all live here
We all live here
We all live, don't we？
Took a walk in my neighborhood
Two in the morning
By the Skytrain Station
The streets were full of junkies and homeless
And they all wanted something
They all wanted something
And what am I supposed to do？
There are too many of you
Too many of you
Yeah, sometimes look you in the eye
Say that, 'I too am human, I could easily be
I could be easily be, I could easily be'
7.Dogsong 2
Lyricist：Samantha Parton
Out in the trees, dirt on our knees
We laid him down forever
And on that hill there it was still
As in the ever after
He lays his rest, we knew it best
To lay him down so gently
And now he sleeps where moss does creep
And no more is he with me
The birds did cry, and so did I
To think of life so lonely
And in their song, I heard it long
What sadness, and what beauty
Your friend is gone, but you live on
In life you loved him fully
Now little streams and forests dream
And all is made more holy
8.Waiting Around To Die
Lyricist：Townes Zandt Van
Sometimes I don't know where
This stony road is taking me
Sometimes I don't know the reason why
So I guess I'll keep gambling
Lots of booze and lots of rambling
Well, it's easier than just waiting around to die
Well, one time, friends
I had a ma, I even had a pa
He beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried
She told him to take care of me
And headed down to Tennessee
Well, it's easier than just waiting around to die
Then I became of age
And I found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar
She cleaned me out and she hit it on the sly
Well, I tried to kill the pain
I bought some wine, I hopped a train
Well, it was easier than just waiting around to die
Then a friend said he knew
Where some easy money was
We robbed a man and brother, did we fly
But the posse caught up with me
And drugged me back to Muskogee
And now it's two long years, just waiting around to die
Now I'm out of prison
And I got me a friend at last
He don't steal or cheat or drink or lie
His name is Codeine
And he's the nicest thing I've seen
And together, we're gonna wait around to die
9.When Doves Cry
Lyricist：Prince Rogers Nelson
Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you my darling, can you picture this？
Dream if you can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
They feel the heat, the heat between me
How can you just leave me standing？
Alone in a world so cold？
Maybe I'm just too demanding
And maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
And maybe I'm just like my mother
She's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other？
This is what it sounds like when doves cry
Touch if you will my stomach
See how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase you, even doves have pride
Just leave me standing？
Alone in a world so cold？
Maybe I'm just too demanding
And maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
And maybe I'm just like my mother
She's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other？
This is what it sounds like when doves cry
How can you just leave me standing？
Alone in a world so cold？
Maybe I'm just too demanding
And maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
And maybe I'm just like my mother
She's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other？
But this is what it sounds like when doves cry
10.Nobody Cares For Me
Lyricist：John Hurt
Lonesome is I, I wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
Lonesome is I, I wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
It was a bright moon light night, the moon shining bright
When you and I made love
Your heart wasn't true, I'll say unto you
I moaned like a turtle dove
Lonesome is I, I wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
Lonesome is I, I wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
I'm coming home, no more to roam
Darlin', I'm coming home
I'm coming home, no more to roam
Darlin', I'm coming home
Down in the pasture where the birds are singing
You can't hear nothing but what the birds are saying
Down in the pasture where the birds are singing
You can't hear nothing but what the birds are saying
It was a bright moon light night, the moon shining bright
When you and I made love
Your heart wasn't true, I'll say unto you
I moaned like a turtle dove
Lonesome is I, I wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
Lonesome is I, I wished I could die
Nobody cares for me

Reuben, where have you been so long？

Reuben, where have you been so long？
Well, the longest train that I ever saw
It was 90 coaches long
And the only man that I ever loved
He was on that train and gone
Is that you Reuben？
Reuben, where have you been so long？
Is that you Reuben？
Reuben, where have you been so long？
Oh, where'd you get that hat you wear
And that coat you got so fine？
Well, I got my hat from a railroad man
And my coat from a worker in the mine
Is that you Reuben？
Reuben, where have you been so long？
Is that you Reuben？
Reuben, where have you been so long？
Well, Reuben made a train, he put it on the track
Run it to, the Lord knows where
Well, Reuben made a train, he put it on the track
Run it to, the Lord knows where
12.Lonesome Blues
Lyricist：Samantha Parton
Some blues are just blues
Mine are the lonesome blues
Some blues are just blues
Mine are the lonesome blues
All the birds flew south for the winter
Left me these lonesome blues
My baby left me
Hitched a train down south
My baby left me
Hitched a train down south
I still taste his kisses
Like candy in my mouth
I wish I had wings
Just like an aeroplane
I wish I had wings
Just like an aeroplane
Fly down, find my baby
And never be lonesome again
Some blues are just blues
Mine are the lonesome blues
Some blues are just blues
Mine are the lonesome blues
All the birds flew south for the winter
Left me these lonesome blues
All the birds flew south for the winter
Left me these lonesome blues
13.Ship Out On The Sea
Lyricist：Frazey Obadiah Ford
I'm a ship, I'm a ship, I'm a ship
Out on the sea
None of my love
Floating wild come back to me
So I write you a letter, I'll write you a letter
With this here pen
Don't make me wait, don't make me wait
'Cause I'm your friend
I'm in love with the garden
That is down the street
And the earth is a warm thing under my feet
And the earth is a warm thing under my feet
Oh, long streams of light
Lift me from this dirty town
'Cause I am losing stain
Soak me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
With rain, rain, rain, rain
Oh, I'm a ship, I'm a ship, I'm a ship
Out on the sea
And all these clouds flying by so fast
Well, they confuse me
And the long leaves in the tall trees
Pale in the sunshine
And I was twistin' and turnin'
In the cool sheets past bed time
Plant me in the garden
Don't you let me roam
'Cause love is a feeling like a warm dark stone
Plant me in the garden
Don't you let me roam
'Cause love is a feeling like a warm dark stone
Yeah, love is a feeling like a warm dark stone
Love is a feeling like a warm dark stone
Plant me in the garden
Don't you let me roam
'Cause love is a feeling like a warm dark stone
Yeah, love is a feeling like a warm dark stone
Love is a feeling like a warm dark stone
14.Midnight Moonlight
Lyricist：Peter Hamilton Rowan
If you ever feel lonesome
And you're down in San Antone
Just beg, steal, or borrow
Two nickels or a dime, call me on the phone
Oh, I'll meet you at Alamo Mission
And we will say our prayers
The Holy Ghost and the Virgin Mother will heal us
As we kneel there
In the midnight, moonlight
In the midnight, moonlight, midnight
In the midnight, moonlight
In the midnight, moonlight, midnight
If you ever feel sorrow
For the deeds that you have done
With no hope for tomorrow
In the setting of the sun
And the ocean is howling
Where things that might have been
And that last good morning sunrise
Will be the brightest you've ever seen
In the midnight, moonlight
In the midnight, moonlight, midnight
In the midnight, moonlight
In the midnight, moonlight, midnight
Midnight, moonlight, midnight
15.Dogsong Aka Sleep Dog Lullaby
Lyricist：Samantha Parton
All the dogs are haunted
And the snow melts on the grass
You were what I wanted
But the fever could not last
In the day, I am dreaming
In the night, I am cold
While the stars are up there singing
All the dogs are growing old
No regrets, they're out the window
Frozen on the silver pane
Gone like winter, let the wind blow
Let the dogs howl at the rain
In the day, I am dreaming
In the night, I am cold
While the stars are up there singing
All the dogs are growing old
Oh, the cats are in the alley
And the rats are on the wire
Time is breathless as a blossom
And it's bursting with desire
And the dogs wander freely
Through the streets of long gone dreams
Drift like ghosts down the back roads
All the way to New Orleans
In the day, I am dreaming
In the night, I am cold
While the stars are up there singing
All the dogs are growing old
16.Ootischenia
Lyricist：Frazey Ford, Trish Kline, Samantha Parton
In spite of everything around me
I hit the floor and my feet kept moving
I looked forwards and never backwards
I was out the door like a rollin' soldier
Impossible to keep a straight line
Too young to keep these bitter hearts
And all around me, somebody's singin'
Get back, get back
And long hair comin' down her shoulders
She is tired and feeling so much older
So tear the pages from the family bible
It came down upon the women for survival
It came down upon the women for survival
And I wasn't meanin' nothing at all
You stop me if I get it wrong
I think I'm hearin' somebody sayin'
I'm gonna spank ya till you can't sit down
Burst apart, ah, we lose each other
The constellation of my sisters and brothers
Are spreading all out into the darkness
Goodbye to you in the sadness of this
Goodbye to you in the sadness of this
Goodbye to you in the sadness of this
Impossible to keep a straight line
Too young to keep these bitter hearts
And all around me, somebody's singin'
Get back, get back
17.Oh Susanna
Lyricist：Stephen Foster Collins, Samantha Parton
I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
I'm goin' to Louisiana my own true love for to see
It rained all night the day I left, the weather was bone dry
And the sun so hot I froze to death, Susanna, don't you cry
Oh Susanna, don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
Well, I had a dream the other night when everything was still
I dreamed I saw Susanna comin' down the hill
A buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye
Said I'm comin' from the south, Susanna, don't you cry
Oh Susanna, don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
Well, I soon will be in New Orleans and when I do arrive
I'll go and find Susanna if she is still alive
And if I do not find that girl I will surely die
But when I'm buried in my grave, Susanna, don't you cry
Oh Susanna, don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
18.In My Time Of Dying
Lyricist：Frazey Obadiahr Ford, Traditional
Well, in my time of dying
I don't want nobody to moan
All I want my friends to do
Come and fold my dying arms
(Well, well, well)
So I can die easy
(Well, well, well)
So I can die easy
(Well, well, well)
So I can die easy
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed
Won't you meet me Jesus, meet me
Won't you meet me in the middle of the air
And if these wings should fail me Lord
Won't you meet me with another pair
(Well, well, well)
Won't you meet me Jesus
(Well, well, well)
Won't you meet me Jesus
(Well, well, well)
Won't you meet me Jesus

(Well, well, well)
I done crossed over
(Well, well, well)
I done crossed over

Threw religion in my heart
(Well, well, well)
I can ring up my Jesus
(Well, well, well)
I can ring up my Jesus
(Well, well, well)
I can ring up my Jesus
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed

19.The Coo Coo Bird
Lyricist：Copyright Control, Samantha Parton
Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
She never hollers coo coo till the fourth day of July
Gonna build me log cabin
On a mountain so high
So I can see Willie as he goes on by
Well, I've played cards in Texas
And I've played cards in Maine
Oh, I'll bet you five dollars I'll beat you next game
Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds
Oh, I know you of old
You robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey
Oh, I know you of old
You robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold
Sometimes I feel much younger
Sometimes I feel so old
Sometimes the warm sun shines
Sometimes it's dreadful cold
Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
How I wish she was mine
She never drinks water she only drinks wine
Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
She never hollers coo coo till the fourth day of July
20.Rain And Snow
Lyricist：Copyright Control, Frazey Obadiah Ford
Well, I married me a wife
She gave me trouble all my life
She ran me out in the cold rain and snow
Rain and snow, rain and snow
She ran me out in the cold rain and snow
She came a runnin' on down the stairs
Combin' back her long yellow hair
And her cheeks were as red as a rose
As a rose, as a rose
And her cheeks were as red as a rose
Well, I ain't got no use
For your red apple juice
And I'm not gonna be treated this a way
This a way, this a way
And I'm not gonna be treated this way
I see you sittin' in the shade
Countin' every dime I've made
I'm so broke and I'm hungry too
Hungry too, hungry too
I'm so broke and I'm hungry too
I'm so broke and I'm hungry too
21.Only In The Past
Lyricist：Frazey Obadiah Ford, Samantha Parton
Run away to the seashore
It doesn't matter anymore
It doesn't matter anymore
Words dry up and fly away
With the passing of the days
Eventually you just let the stone fall
I dreamed that I saw you
You were down at the corner store
You were looking through magazines
And you flew out the door
I was trying to wave to you
But you wouldn't wave back
Now you know I understand
You're with me only in the past
My palms are not open
They're closed, they're closed
Colors streak the sky
We laugh and we cry
And we dance in the cool grass
With the fireflies
We dance in the cool grass
Sunset birds
Sweet, sweet music
Swallow our words
You set sail and you left this town
Run away, run away
You're so far from me now
So far from me now
Run away to the seashore
It doesn't matter anymore
It doesn't matter anymore
I dreamed that I saw you
22.Up Against The Wall
Lyricist：Frazey Obadiah Ford
Up against the wall
You don't stand so tall
Better run, run, run put your armor on again
She is 12 years old
Nothing she don't know
She says you're 32 but you wanna be 16
I know that you did not receive
What it was that you needed when you were growing？
But tell me what's the worth？
You're repeating history verse by verse
What do you prove？
No matter what you say I think
You'll lose, you'll lose, you'll lose her
Up against the wall
You don't stand so tall
Better run, run, run put your armor on again
Isn't it time we recognized that we all live
Such broken lives sometimes
And it's sad but true that you still
Carry so much with you
23.Don't You Fall
Lyricist：Samantha Parton
Don't you fall in love with me
Don't show me your affection
I can't give you what you want from me
I don't want the attention
I gave away my heart before
And it only caused me sorrow
How could I think of loving someone
Today or tomorrow
I've been so long confused
Was I loved or was I used？
Now the sun goes up and down
And the weather rains and shines
I lost my heart somewhere
Oh, I need to take more time
Don't you fall in love with me
Don't show me your affection
I can't give you what you want from me
I don't want the attention
No, I can't give you what you want from me
I don't want the attention
24.Song For R.
Lyricist：Samantha Parton
You see people coming from all sides
With their broken hearts and hollow eyes
And you try to love but it's easier to hate
When the seed that was planted was watered too late
Ooh, oh, child
Ooh, oh, child
Your roots stretch down to grow up wild
Roots stretch down to grow up wild
It was late last night when the doorbell rang
My brother in some trouble
He stood shaking on the doorstep in the rain
With a freight train pounding in his veins
And I took him in and cleaned him up
Gave him some water and I put him to bed
Then I cried for the sadness of his life
And his lonely struggle with addiction
Friends say, oh, what a shame
Mum says no one but himself to blame
But I don't want to play that game
'Cause I know the truth is not so plain
Call it a hard life or a lack of love
Call it passed down from his father
Call it lack of faith in God above
There are no easy answers
He is just a child, he is just a child
Arms stretched out for love
Arms stretched out for love
Arms stretched out for love
25.Human Thing
Lyricist：Frazey Ford
You're a human thing
You're a human thing
Who yah think that you're foolin'？
Who yah think that you're foolin'？
You're not foolin', not foolin' me
You're a human thing
You're a human thing
You're so busy frontin'
Confusin' courage and acting
Move me, move me
Could it really be so wrong？
To let somebody, somebody see
Move me, come move me
A girl can keep it together
A girl can keep it together
Girl, come on now, you know you we like your weather
But come on now, you know we'll take the weather
You got roots cannot be torn from under
Won't you shake it like you've never done before？
You've got roots cannot be torn from under
Won't you shake it like you've never done before？
You're a human thing
You're a human thing
26.The Littlest Birds
Lyricist：Jolie R Holland, Samantha Parton
Well, I feel like an old hobo
I'm sad lonesome and blue
I was fair as a summers day
Now the summer days are through
You pass through places
And places pass through you
But you carry 'em with you
On the souls of your travellin' shoes
Well I love you so dearly I love you so clearly
Wake you up in the mornin' so early
Just to tell you I got the wanderin' blues
I got the wanderin' blues
And I'm gonna quit these ramblin' ways one of
These days soon and I'll sing
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
Well it's times like these
I feel so small and wild
Like the ramblin' footsteps of a wanderin' child
And I'm lonesome as a lonesome whippoorwill
Singin' these blues with a warble and a trill
But I'm not too blue to fly
No I'm not too blue to fly 'cause
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
Well, I love you so dearly
I love you so fearlessly
Wake you up in the mornin' so early
Just to tell you I got the wanderin' blues
I got the wanderin' blues
And I don't wanna leave you
I love you through and through
Oh, I left my baby on a pretty blue train
And I sang my songs to the cold and the rain
I had the wanderin' blues
And I sang those wanderin' blues
And I'm gonna quit these ramblin' ways
One of these days soon and I'll sing
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
I don't care if the sun don't shine
I don't care if nothin' is mine
I don't care if I'm nervous with you
I'll do my lovin' in the wintertime
27.Out Of The Wilderness
Lyricist：Frazey Ford, Patricia Klein, Samantha Parton
Tell me how did you feel when you come out the wilderness？
How did you feel when you come out the wilderness？
How did you feel when you come out the wilderness？
Lean and lonely Lord
Well, I felt like shouting when I came out the wilderness
I felt like shouting when I came out the wilderness
I felt like shouting when I came out the wilderness
Lean and lonely Lord
Well, I told everybody when I come out the wilderness
I told everybody when I come out the wilderness
I told everybody when I come out the wilderness
Lean and lonely Lord
How did you feel when you come out the wilderness？
How did you feel when you come out the wilderness？
And how did you feel when you come out the wilderness？
Lean and lonely Lord
Well, I felt like shouting when I came out the wilderness
I felt like shouting when I came out the wilderness
I felt like shouting when I came out the wilderness
Lean and lonely Lord
Well, I told everybody when I come out the wilderness
I told everybody when I come out the wilderness
I told everybody when I come out the wilderness
Lean and lonely Lord
28.The Lakes Of Pontchartrain
Lyricist：Jolie Holland
It was on one bright March morning when I bid New Orleans adieu
And I took the road to Jackson Town, my fortunes to renew
I cursed all foreign money, no credit could I gain
Which filled my heart with longin' for the Lakes of Pontchartain
I sat on board a railway car beneath the morning sun
And I rode the rails 'til evening and I laid me down again
All strangers here no friends to me 'til a dark girl towards me
came
And I fell in love with a Creole girl from the Lakes of
Pontchartrain
I said, 'My pretty Creole girl, my money here's no good
If it weren't for the alligators, I would sleep out in the wood'
'You're welcome here, kind stranger, our house is very plain
But we never turn a stranger out on the Lakes of Pontchartrain'
She took me to her mama's house and she treated me quite well
The hair upon her shoulders in jet black ringlets fell
To try to paint her beauty, I'm sure it would be in vain
So handsome was my Creole girl from the Lakes of Pontchartrain
I asked her if she'd marry me, she'd said it never would be
For she had got another and he was off at sea
She said that she would wait for him and faithful would remain
'Til he returned to his Creole girl from the Lakes of
Pontchartrain
So fair thee well my bonny old lass, I may never see you no more
But I won't forget your kindness in that cottage by the shore
And at every social gathering a golden glass I'll drain
And I'll drink all health to the Creole girl from the Lakes of
Pontchartrain
29.A Little Blues
Lyricist：Samantha Parton
Well, here I am, undone again
I know I'll see you, I just don't know when？
Little stars, all are 'twinkling
I wonder where you are, I wonder what you're thinking？
I know I gave my heart a little soon
I'll walk for miles underneath the moon
I'll sing this sad, lonesome little tune
For you
A little patch of grass under the overpass
I'll rest for hours, amid the flowers
Just a tiny bird with a little song
And when the sun comes up, I'll be long gone
30.Hello Love
Lyricist：Frazey Ford
Hello love, my old friend
Sure is good to see you again
I stood out on the road
Just a watchin' the cars, they come and they go
I felt empty, I felt bare
I really thought that I, I could not care
I really thought that I, I could not care
All the leaves are soaking wet
How succulent a little spring day gets
If you kiss me once out here in the rain
We'll go back and start all over again
So lift up every voice and sing
Sing to the tree tops and everything
Say hello love, my old friend
It's sure is nice to see you again
31.Dogsong
Lyricist：Samantha Parton
All the dogs are haunted
And the snow melts on the grass
You were what I wanted
But the fever could not last
In the day I am dreaming
In the night I am cold
While the stars are up there singing
All the dogs are growing old
No regrets, they're out the window
Frozen on the silver pane
Gone like winter let the wind blow
Let the dogs howl at the rain
In the day I am dreaming
In the night I am cold
While the stars are up there singing
All the dogs are growing old
Oh, the cats are in the alley
And the rats are on the wire
Time is breathless as a blossom
And it's bursting with desire
And the dogs they wander freely
Through the streets of long gone dreams
Drift like ghosts down the back roads
All the way to New Orleans
In the day I am dreaming
In the night I am cold
While the stars are up there singing
All the dogs are growing old
32.Rain ＆ Snow
Lyricist：Frazey Ford, Patricia Klein, Samantha Parton
Well, I married me a wife
She gave me trouble all my life
Ran me out in the cold rain and snow
Rain and snow, rain and snow
She ran me out in the cold rain and snow
She came a runnin' on down the stairs
Combin' back her long yellow hair
And her cheeks were as red as a rose
As a rose, as a rose
And her cheeks were as red as a rose
Well, I ain't got no use
For your red apple juice
And I'm not gonna be treated this way
This way, this way, oh
And I'm not gonna be treated this way
I see you sitting in the shade
Counting every dime I've made
I'm so broke and I'm hungry too
Hungry too, hungry too
I'm so broke and I'm hungry too
Well, I married me a wife
She gave me trouble all my life
Ran me out in the cold rain and snow
Rain and snow, rain and snow
Ran me out in the cold rain and snow
She ran me out in the cold rain and snow
She ran me out in the cold rain and snow
33.Lakes Of Pontchartrain
Lyricist：Jolie Holland
It was on one fine March morning when I bid New Orleans adieu
And I was on the road to Jackson town, my fortunes to renew
I cursed small foreign money, no credit could I gain
Which filled my heart with longin' for the Lakes of
Pontchartrain
I sat on board a railway car beneath the morning sun
And I rode the rails 'til evening and I laid me down again
All strangers here, no friends to me 'til a dark girl towards me
came
And I fell in love with a Creole girl on the Lakes of
Pontchartrain
I said, 'My pretty Creole girl, my money here's no good
If it weren't for the alligators I would sleep out in the woods
You're welcome here, kind stranger, our house is very plain
But we never turn a stranger out on the Lakes of Pontchartrain
She took me onto her mama's house and treated me quite well
Her hair upon her shoulders in jet black ringlets fell
To try to paint her beauty, I'm sure would be in vain
So handsome was my Creole girl on the Lakes of Pontchartrain
I asked her would she marry me, now she'd said it never would be
For she had got another and he was off at sea
She said that she would wait for him and faithful she'd remain
And wait up for her sailor on the Lakes of Pontchartrain
So fare you well, my bonny old girl, I may never see you no more
I won't forget your kindness in that cottage by the shore
And at every social gathering a golden glass I'll drink
And I'll drink all health to the Creole girl on the Lakes of
Pontchartrain
34.House Of The Rising Sun
Oh, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many young poor girls
And God, I know I'm one
My mother, she was a tailor, yeah, yeah
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father, he was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
I got one foot on the platform, yeah
The other foot on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
Oh mother, please tell your children, oh yeah
Not to do what I have done
Go and spend their lives in sin and misery
In the house of the Rising Sun
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he will be satisfied
Is when he's all drunk
Oh, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun.
It's been the ruin of many young poor girls
And God, I know I'm one
35.I Wish My Baby Was Born
I wish, I wish my baby was born
Sittin' on her mama's knee
But you, poor girl are dead and gone
And grass is growing over thee
Oh, I'm not no saint, no, I never shall be
Til the sweet apple grows on a sour apple tree
Still I hope that the day will come
When you and will walk as one
I wish, I wish my baby was born
Sittin' on her papa's knee
But you, poor girl are dead and gone
And grass growing over thee
