Willie And The Wheel

Willie Nelson Willie And The Wheel Lyrics
1.Hesitation Blues

Well, a nickel is a nickel, a dime is a dime
I need a new man, Lord I know I won't mind.
Tell me how long, dear, do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, dear, must I hesitate?

Well now, the eagle on the dollar says 'In God we trust'
You say you won't obey me, you wanna see that dollar first
How long, dear, do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, dear, mm, must I hesitate?

Lord, if the river was made of whiskey an' I was a duck,
I'd just swim to the bottom an' I'd never come up.
How long, dear, mm, do I have to wait?

I got them Hesitation Stockings, I got them Hesitation Shoes,
Lord knows I got them Hesitation Blues.
Tell me, how long do I have to wait?
Why, can I get you now, dear, mm, must I hesitate?


2.Sweet Jennie Lee

Sweet Jenny Lee from sunny Tennessee,
You'll love her when you see
Sweet Jenny Lee!
Each little bird is singing merrily
Just getting set to see
Sweet Jenny Lee!
She's got that certain little something in her style,
She's got a great big bit of heaven right in her smile.
She promised me that she'd say yessiree,
That's good enough for me,
Sweet Jenny Lee


3.Fan It

I'd like to say that I tried
It fits in with all the suggestions and lies and empty tables
With food untouched,
I couldn't see the future.
I liked the past too much
I've been going door to door like I got something to sell,
wandering like a fool
through the halls of a blue hotel.

So go on and rain down on us
Go on and rain
Go on and rain down on us
I give up, I give up.

Something about her that's cold.
She's blowing through the trees,
leaving me raw
as the words come out,
I get confused.
I get shattered like a light bulb in an October moon.
She's inside me like a secret
and I got no one to tell.
Wandering like a fool
through the halls of a blue hotel.

Go on and rain down on us
Go on and rain
Go on and rain down on us
I give up.


4.I Ain't Gonna Give Nobody None O' This Jelly Roll

I ain't gonna give nobody none of my jellyroll
Oh, I wouldn't give you a piece a pie to save your soul
My Ma told me today, when she went away
To be a good boy, she'd give me a toy
'Cause I'm my Mama's pride and joy
There ain't no use of anyone to keep a hangin' 'round
You don't know my Ma, she'd really put you down
Ma's bakin' up a storm, and her oven is still warm
I know you want it, but you can't have it

I ain't gonna give nobody none of my jellyroll
I wouldn't give you a piece a pie to save your soul
My Ma told me today, when she went away
To be a good boy, she'd give me a toy
'Cause I'm my Mama's pride and joy
There ain't no use of anyone to keep a hangin' 'round
I love you but I hate to put you down
Yeah, my jellyroll is sweet
But, they can't have it
Yeah, ho-ho Miss Nelly, I mean my jellyroll


5.Oh! You Pretty Woman

Cyrus Jones 1810 to 1913
Made his great grandchildren believe
he could live to a 103
A hundred and three is forever when you?re just a little kid
So, Cyrus Jones lived forever

Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
Gravedigger

Muriel Stonewall 1903 to 1954
She lost both of her babies in the second great war
Now, you should never have to watch your only children lowered
in the ground
that means you should never have to bury your own babies

Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
Gravedigger


6.Bring It On Down To My House

Bring it on down to my house honey,
there ain't nobody home but me
Bring it on down to my house honey,
I need your company
Tom cat sittin' on the railroad track
Well he hollered at the Mama cat, she answered back
Bring it on down to my house honey,
ain't nobody home but me

Bring it on down to my house honey,
ain't nobody home but me
Bring it on down to my house honey,
I need your company
My gal Sal, she makes good pie
I eat so much I could nearly die
Bring it on down to my house honey,
ain't nobody home but me

Bring it on down to my house honey,
ain't nobody home but me
Bring it on down to my house honey,
I need your company
Say old man, can ya play the fiddle
Yes, by crackies I can play a little
Bring it on down to my house honey,
ain't nobody home but me

Bring it on down to my house honey,
ain't nobody home but me
Bring it on down to my house honey,
I need your company
Say old man, can ya play the fiddle
Yes, by crackies I can play a little
Bring it on down to my house honey,
ain't nobody home but me

9.I'm Sittin' On Top Of The World

One summer day,
She went away.
She gone and left me,
She gone to stay.
But now she gone,
And I don't worry.
'Cause I'm sitting
On top of the world.
Worked all the summer,
And worked all the fall.
I had to take my Christmas,
In my overall.
But now she gone,
And I don't worry.
Because I'm sitting
On top of the world.
Goin' down to the
Freight yard,
Just to meet a freight train.
I'm gonna leave this town,
Well it's just got too hard.
But now she gone,
And I don't worry.
'Cause I'm sitting
On top of the world.
One summer day,
She went away.
She gone and left me,
She gone to stay.
But now she gone,
And I don't worry.
'Cause I'm sitting
On top of the world


10.Shame On You

My friends they wash the windows
And they shine in the sun
They tell me wake up early in the morning sometime
See what a beautiful job weve done

I say lets put on some tunes
Sing a long and dolittle all day
Go down to the riverside take off our shoes
And wash these sins away

And the river said
La la la it said shame on you
And the river said
La la la it said shame on you

I go down to chicano city park
Cause it makes me feel so fine
And when the weeds go down you can see up close
In the dead of the winter time

But when the summer comes everythings in bloom
And you wouldnt know its there
And the white folks like to pretend its not
But their musics in the air

And you can hear em singing
La la la they said shame on you
You can feel em dancing
La la la they said shame on you


11.South (Ft. Paul Shaffer And Vince Gill)

What's happened down here is the winds have changed
Cloud roll in from the north and it started to rain
It rained real hard and it rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline

The river rose all day, the river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood, some people got away alright
The river had busted through cleared down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline

Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tyrin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away

Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away

President came down in his big airplane
With his little fat man with a notepad in his hand
President say, 'Little fat man, oh, isn't it a shame
What the river has done to this poor farmers land'

Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tyrin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away

Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away

They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away


12.Won't You Ride In My Little Red Wagon

Won't you ride in my little red wagon
I'd love to pull you down the street
And I know all the kids will be jealous
When they see my playmate so sweet

Hold tight till we come to the hilltop
Gonna coast down the hill, you and me
Won't you ride in my little red wagon
For you are my sweetheart to be

Won't you ride in my little red wagon
I'd love to pull you down the street
And I know all the kids will be jealous
When they see my playmate so sweet

Hold tight till we come to the hilltop
Gonna coast down the hill, you and me
Won't you ride in my little red wagon
For you are my sweetheart to be
You are my sweetheart to be
