I got a woman with plenty of money She got the money and I got the honey Called my baby late last night She told me daddy everything was alright I don’t have to worry ’cause she’s real fine I know my baby she’s all mine She give me a Cadillac a diamond ring She told me Daddy don’t you worry ’bout a thing She’s all mine and I’m so glad She’s the best woman I ever had

| 02. Killing The Blues |
lyrics |
|
|
Written by Rowland Salley Graph Music (ASCAP)
Leaves were falling just like embers In colors red and gold they set us on fire Burning just like a moonbeam in our eyes Somebody said they saw me Swinging the world by the tail Bouncing over a white cloud Killing the blues
Now I am guilty of something I hope you never do Because there is nothing Sadder than losing yourself in love Somebody said they saw me Swinging the world by the tail Bouncing over a white cloud Killing the blues
Now, you ask me just to leave you To go out on my own and get what I need to You want me to find what I’ve already had Somebody said they saw me Swinging the world by the tail Bouncing over a white cloud Killing the blues

Strange things are happening every day I hear the music up above my head Though the sight of my heart has left me again, I hear music up above
Secrets are written in the sky Looks like I’ve lost the love I’ve never found Though the sound of hope has left me again, I hear music up above
Standing in my broken heart all night long Darkness held me like a friend when love wore off Looking for the lamb that’s hidden in the cross The finder’s lost
I know I’ve loved you too much I’ll go on alone to get through
I hear Rosetta singing in the night Echoes of light that shine like stars after they’re gone Tonight she’s my guide as I go on alone With the music up above

If the wild bird could speak, he’d tell the places you have been He’s been in my dreams, and he knows all the ways of the wind
Polly come home again Spread your wings to the wind I’ve felt much of the pain As it begins
Dreams cover much time, still they leave blind the will to begin I searched for you there, and now look for you from within
Polly come home again Spread your wings to the wind I’ve felt much of the pain As it begins

Some sunny day-hay baby When everything seems okay, baby You’ll wake up and find that you’re alone ’Cause I’ll be gone Gone, gone, gone Really gone Gone, ga-gone, ’cause you done me wrong
Everyone that you meet baby As you walk down the street baby Will ask you why you’re walkin’ all alone Why you’re on your own Just say I’m gone Gone, gone, gone Gone, ga-gone, ’cause you done me wrong
And if you change your way baby You might get back to stay baby Ya better hurry up if ya don’t wanna be alone Or I’ll be gone Gone, gone, gone Really gone Gone, ga-gone, ’cause you done me wrong

Believe me when I tell you I will try to understand Believe me when I tell you I could never kill a man But to know that another man’s holding you tight Hurts me little darling Through the morning, through the night
The bond has been broken The promise you gave The words that were spoken I cannot be your slave But to know that the trust you had in me is gone Hurts me little darling Through the night-time, through the dawn
I dreamed just last night You were there by my side Your sweet loving tenderness Easing my pride But then I awoke and found you not there It was just my old memory of how much I care
Believe me when I tell you I will try to understand Believe me when I tell you I could never kill a man But to know that another man’s holding you tight Hurts me little darling Through the morning, through the night

Caught out running with just a little too much to hide Maybe baby everything’s going to turn out fine Please read the letter I nailed it to your door It’s crazy how it all turned out we needed so much more
Too late too late a fool could read the signs Maybe baby you better check between the lines Please read the letter I wrote it in my sleep With help and consultation from the angels of the deep
Once I stood beside a well of many words My house was full of rings and charms and pretty birds Please understand me my walls came falling down There’s nothing here that’s left for you but check with lost and found
Please read the letter that I wrote Please read the letter that I wrote
One more song just before we go Remember baby you gotta reap just what you sow Please read my letter and promise me you’ll keep The secrets and the memories that we cherish in the deep Please read the letter I nailed it to your door It’s crazy how it all turned out we needed so much more
Please read the letter that I wrote Please read the letter that I wrote Please read the letter that I wrote Please read the letter that I wrote

| 08. Trampled Rose |
lyrics |

|
Written by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan Jalma Music (ASCAP)
Long way going to Get my medicine Sky’s the autumn grey of a lonely wren
Piano from a window played Gone tomorrow, gone yesterday
I found it in the street At first I did not see Lying at my feet A trampled rose
Passing the hat in church It never stops going round
You never pay just once To get the job done
What I done to me, I done to you What happened to the trampled rose?
In the muddy street With the fireworks and leaves
A blind man with a cup I asked Would he play “Kisses Sweeter Than Wine”
I know that rose, Like I know my name The one I gave my love, It was the same Now I find it in the street, A trampled rose

Went to the fortune teller Had my fortune read I didn’t know what to tell her I had a dizzy feeling in my head
Then she took a look at my palm She said son you feel kind of warm She looked into her crystal ball And said you’re in love
How could that be so I thought of all the girls I know She said when the next one arrives You’ll be looking into her eyes
I left there in a hurry Looking forward to my big surprise The next day I discovered That the fortune teller told me a lie
I hurried back down to that woman As mad as I could be I said I didn’t see nobody Why had she made a fool out of me
Then something struck me As if it came from up above While looking at the fortune teller I fell in love
Now I’m a happy fellow ’Cause I’m married to the fortune teller I’m happy as we can be Now I get my fortune told for free

Everybody’s been a-talkin’; they say our love wasn’t real That it would soon be over; that’s not the way I feel But don’t worry, honey; let them say what they may Come on and stick with me, baby; we’ll find a way Yes, we’ll find a way
Everybody’s been a-talkin’; yes, the news travels fast They said the fire would stop burnin’; that the flame wouldn’t last But I don’t worry, honey; let them say what they may Come on and stick with me, baby; we’ll find a way Yes, we’ll find a way
Come on and stick with me, baby

Hey mama, when you leave Don’t leave a thing behind I don’t want nothin’, I can’t use nothin’
Take care into the hall And if you see my friends Tell them I’m fine, not using nothin’
Almost burned out my eyes Threw my ears down to the floor I didn’t see nothin’, I didn’t hear nothin’
I stood there like a block of stone Knowin’ all I had to know And nothin’ more, man that’s nothin
Being born is going blind And bowin’ down a thousand times To echoes strung on pure temptation
Sorrow and solitude These are the precious things And the only words that are worth rememberin’
Hey mama, when you leave Don’t leave a thing behind I don’t want nothin’, I can’t use nothin’

Once I had myself a good woman But I just didn’t treat her right I was always leaving Living the party life
True love was waiting for me I was much too blind to see Till she told me she would leave me I said that’s alright with me
Oh, but now she’s gone I realize I lost the best thing there is And my pride keeps telling me Let your loss be your lesson
Heaven knows I miss her loving Heaven knows how much I cry Just to think that she had left me And I know the reason why
I could tell she had been crying That didn’t seem to bother me ’Cause I know there’s no one blinder Than a fool who just couldn’t see
Oh, but now she’s gone I realize I lost the best thing there is And my pride keeps telling me Let your loss by your lesson

Written by A.D. Watson and Rosa Lee Watson © Hillgreen Music (BMI)
God’s given us years of happiness here Now we must part And as the angels come and call for you The pains of grief tug at my heart Oh, my darling My darling My heart breaks as you take your long journey
Oh, the days will be empty The nights so long without you my love And when God calls for you I’m left alone But we will meet in heaven above Oh, my darling My darling My heart breaks as you take your long journey
Fond memories I’ll keep of happy ways That on earth we trod And when I come we will walk hand in hand As one in heaven in the family of God Oh, my darling My darling My heart breaks as you take your long journey
