    [X]

    letra de Redbud Tree

    Hunted down, I came upon

    A place of ferns and grass

    Gathered to a redbud tree

    And now their footsteps pass

    Where I crouch in dread

    Discovery my certain death

    Her leaves reaching for my head

    As I suspend my breath



    Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me

    Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me



    Those days of fear are gone

    Yet I am pledged to her

    As to my only one

    My lovely protector



    Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me

    Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me

    Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me

    Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me

  2. Haul AwayVer letra 4:01

    [X]

    letra de Haul Away

    It was a windless night when you left the ship

    You never were a steady bold one

    I gave my hand, ah, but you did slip

    I'm a living man and you're a cold one

    Haul away, haul away for home



    My love's as fair as a girl can be

    My wedding ring is a heavy gold one

    Now you lie alone in the deep dark sea

    I'm a living man and you're a cold one

    Haul away, haul away for home



    The morning brings, Lord, a fresh young breeze

    To fill our sails and end the doldrums

    Our lucky ship speeds across the sea

    I'm a living man and you're a cold one

    Haul away, haul away for home

    letra de Privateering

    Yon's my privateer

    See how trim she lies

    To every man a lucky hand

    And every man a prize

    I live to ride the ocean

    The mighty world around

    To take a little plunder

    And to hear the cannon sound

    To lay with pretty women

    To drink Madeira wine

    To hear the rollers thunder

    On a shore that isn't mine



    Privateering we will go

    Privateering, yo ho ho ho

    Privateering we will go

    Yo ho ho, yo ho ho



    The people on your man o' war

    Are treated worse than scum

    I'm no flogging captain

    And by God I've sailed with some

    Come with me to Barbary

    We'll ply there up and down

    Not quite exactly

    In the service of the Crown

    To lay with pretty women

    To drink Madeira wine

    To hear the rollers thunder

    On a shore that isn't mine



    Privateering we will go

    Privateering, yo ho ho ho

    Privateering we will go

    Yo ho ho, yo ho ho



    Look'ee there's my privateer

    She's small but she can sting

    Licensed to take prizes

    With a letter from the King

    I love the streets and taverns

    Of a pretty foreign town

    Tip my hat to the dark-eyed ladies

    As we sally up and down

    To lay with pretty women

    To drink Madeira wine

    To hear the rollers thunder

    On a shore that isn't mine



    Privateering we will go

    Privateering, yo ho ho ho

    Privateering we will go

    Yo ho ho, yo ho ho



    Britannia needs her privateers

    Each time she goes to war

    Death to all her enemies

    Though prizes matter more

    Come with me to Barbary

    We'll ply there up and down

    Not quite exactly

    In the service of the Crown

    To lay with pretty women

    To drink Madeira wine

    To hear the rollers thunder

    On a shore that isn't mine



    Privateering we will go

    Privateering, yo ho ho ho

    Privateering we will go

    Yo ho ho, yo ho ho

    letra de Miss You Blues

    Miss you blues, baby, miss you blues

    Miss you blues, baby, miss you blues

    You never used to look behind you, that isn't what you'd do

    Didn't leave a thing behind you but the miss you blues



    Who's gonna take your place, fill your shoes?

    Who's gonna take your place, fill your shoes?

    You never used to look behind you, that isn't what you'd do

    Didn't leave a thing behind you but the miss you blues



    Miss you blues, baby, miss you blues

    Miss you blues, baby miss you blues

    You never used to look behind you, that isn't what you'd do

    Didn't leave a thing behind you but the miss you blues



    Walk alone down the avenue

    Walk alone down the avenue

    You never used to look behind you, that isn't what you'd do

    Didn't leave a thing behind you but the miss you blues



    Miss you blues, baby, miss you blues

    Miss you blues, baby, miss you blues

    You never used to look behind you, that isn't what you'd do

    Didn't leave a thing behind you but the miss you blues

    [X]

    letra de Corned Beef City

    Early in the morning

    Going to meet a man

    Wants a truck unloading

    For cash-in-hand

    You don't ask questions

    When there's nothing in the bank

    Got to feed the kids

    And put the diesel in the tank



    Bacon, egg and sausage

    Double chips and beans

    Tea and bread and butter

    And a day on the machines

    Christmas is coming

    With the final demand

    What you got going

    For cash in hand



    So it ain't too pretty

    Corned Beef City

    It ain't too pretty

    Corned Beef City



    Early in the morning

    Where the trucks all stand

    I've got a pocket full of folding

    And a pair of jerry cans

    I've got to keep it going

    They're laying off at Ford

    I'm only one step ahead

    Of my room and board



    So it ain't too pretty

    Corned Beef City

    It ain't too pretty

    Corned Beef City



    Early in the morning

    Going to meet a man

    Wants a truck unloading

    For cash-in-hand

    You don't ask questions

    When there's nothing in the bank

    Got to feed the kids

    And put the diesel in the tank



    So it ain't too pretty

    Corned Beef City

    It ain't too pretty

    Corned Beef City

  7. Go, LoveVer letra 4:52

    [X]

    letra de Go, Love

    I had to leave for certain

    I like to come back now and then

    Maybe I'm just returning

    So I can leave again



    The wind comes softly blowing

    From the cold grey sea

    She leans into my collar

    Starts whispering to me



    Go, love, if you're going

    You keep looking down the track

    Go, love, if you're going

    I'll be here when you come back



    Go, love, if you're going

    Go, love, if you're going



    So go, love, if you're going

    Don't stay on account of me

    Go, love, if you're going

    If that's the way it's got to be



    Go, love, if you're going

    You keep looking down the track

    Go, love, if you're going

    I'll be here when you come back



    Go, love, if you're going

    Go, love, if you're going

  8. Hot or WhatVer letra 4:54

    [X]

    letra de Hot or What

    She came on the river

    With a gift for me

    I'm in way deep

    That's how it has to be

    It's hot in the desert

    But I'm cool in the zone

    People call me lucky

    But I say you make your own



    I'm on a roll

    Yeah, I'm on a roll

    I'm runnin' hot

    Baby, am I hot or what?



    This is outrageous

    I got all kinds of stuff

    Can I dodge bullets

    And can I bluff

    Hot shots keep on a' coming

    Looking for a fight

    But the names are going down

    To the left and to the right



    And I'm on a roll

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm on a roll

    I'm runnin' hot

    Baby, am I hot or what?



    It gets dark at night

    That's how it goes

    It gets cold in winter

    Don't be surprised if it snows

    You wanna play Hold'em

    With my friend Mr Chan

    If you lose your stack, well

    You sure can't blame the man



    Ha! ha! ha!

    Ha! ha! ha!

    I'm runnin' hot

    Baby, am I hot or what?



    They play with me a while

    I'll read 'em like a book

    Let's go have a drink or two

    And talk about the scalps I took

    I got a big old stack

    I had me a big old day

    Tomorrow I go back

    Gonna take it all the way



    'Cos I'm on a roll

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm on a roll

    I'm runnin' hot

    Baby, am I hot or what?

    I said I'm runnin' hot, baby

    Baby, am I hot or what?

  9. Yon Two CrowsVer letra 4:26

    [X]

    letra de Yon Two Crows

    Pennies from heaven

    Don't make me laugh

    Here all you'll get

    Is the pattering rain

    Or yon two crows up over the hill

    Looking for winterkill

    Always at your boots

    The mud behind the byre

    With its clammy hold

    Would mock you up a grave

    Here in the mire of a wrecked sheepfold



    And all you'll bring to this

    Is muscle and grit

    Persistence, that's just about it

    What made you think

    There'd be a living in sheep?

    Eat, work, eat, work and sleep



    Duck under the eaves

    Of the bothy

    To sit here, caged by rain

    Somewhere to go conjure

    A next move

    When I have to think again

    The dog lifts his gaze to plead

    Believes the wizard has a magic stick

    Leans his weight into my tweed

    I give an unholy hand to lick



    I take a swig of sheep dip

    From my flask

    And once again I ask

    What made you think

    There'd be a living in sheep?

    Eat, work, eat, work and sleep



    They were at this game

    Two hundred years ago

    Had thirty ways

    Of dying young, poor souls

    Laid to rest in their soggy rows

    Rain on their holy books

    Blood and whisky

    On the tongue

    And no-one watching over anyone

    No-one left but your stubborn one

    And the crows and rooks



    Ah, the dying young

    Well I'm not done

    You watch me and I'll watch thee

    I can still work for two men

    And drink for three



    And I raise my flask

    To the clearing skies

    To you, sweepers

    You carrion spies

    To scavenge and survive

    If you can do it so can I

  10. SeattleVer letra 4:17

    [X]

    letra de Seattle

    Above the bar the TVs are showing the game

    But we're not watching it, we're hardly focussing

    Through the windows in the fading day

    1st Avenue is turning grey

    Do you ever look at me and see another man

    Let's get two more beers and try to make a plan

    Sometimes it feels as though I have a key

    But every time I try it it won't turn for me

    Seattle - you've got to love the rain

    And we both love rain

    We both love rain



    We watched the city skyline from the ferry deck

    And you put your arms around my neck

    We talked of looking just out of town

    Now it's looking like a dream shot down

    I still believe that there's somewhere for us

    But now it's something that we don't discuss

    And you're the best thing I ever knew

    Stay with me, baby, and we'll make it to

    We'll make it to

    Seattle - you've got to love the rain

    And we both love rain

    We both love rain

    Seattle - I want you just the same

    And we both love rain

    We both love rain

  11. Kingdom of GoldVer letra 5:22

    [X]

    letra de Kingdom of Gold

    The high priest of money looks down on the river

    The dawn coming up on his kingdom of gold

    When the rim of the sun sends an arrow of silver

    He prays to the gods of the bought and the sold



    He turns to his symbols, his ribbons of numbers

    They circle and spin on their mystical scroll

    He looks for a sign while the city still slumbers

    And the ribbons and the river forever unroll

    In his kingdom of gold, his kingdom of gold

    Kingdom of gold, his kingdom of gold

    Kingdom of gold



    On the horizon an enemy haven

    Sends traces of smoke high up into the sky

    A pack of dog jackals and a rabble of ravens

    Who'll come for his fortress, his castle on high

    In his kingdom of gold, kingdom of gold

    Kingdom of gold, his kingdom of gold

    Kingdom of gold



    His axes and armour will conquer these devils

    The turbulent raiders will falter and fall

    Their leaders be taken, their camps burned and levelled

    They'll hang in the wind from his citadel walls

    In his kingdom of gold, kingdom of gold

    Kingdom of gold, kingdom of gold

    Kingdom of gold

    Well if you ain't got whiskey

    Don't tell me that you ain't got gin

    If you ain't got whiskey

    Don't tell me that you ain't got gin

    Well I got to have something

    Need to get my medicine



    Well I can play your fish fry

    Play for change in town

    I can play your fish fry

    I can play for change in town

    Well I got to have something

    Keep me from going down



    Well let me play you one thing

    Somebody must have just got paid

    Yeah, let me play you one thing

    Somebody must have just got paid

    Well I got to have something

    Even if I don't get laid



    Yes, if you ain't got whiskey

    Don't tell me that you ain't got gin

    If you ain't got whiskey

    Don't tell me that you ain't got gin

    Well I got to have something

    Need to get my medicine

    Yeah, I got to have something

    Need to get my medicine

  13. Radio City SerenadeVer letra 5:13

    [X]

    letra de Radio City Serenade

    You've got to have no credit cards

    To know how good it feels

    The howling of the bridges

    The sidewalks bound with steel

    Sitting on the sidewalk

    With a party to arrange

    May you never change



    I stay out when I want to

    Still she takes me back

    Don't know another girl

    Would cut me so much slack

    Every wounded soldier

    Needs a lady with a light

    To help him through the night



    So blow a kiss to Radio City

    My forever silhouette

    Oh, you are so pretty

    My beautiful Rockette

    You've got my arms

    And the crosstown horns

    Going on - we've got it going on



    Have I got you a river view

    This one tops the list

    Got a head full of you

    And Irish Mist

    I know I owe it

    To the lady by the sea

    Who still looks out for me



    So blow a kiss to Radio City

    My forever silhouette

    Oh, you are so pretty

    My beautiful Rockette

    You've got my arms

    And the crosstown horns

    Going on - we've got it going on



    You've got my arms

    And the crosstown horns

    Going on - we've got it going on

    We've got it going on

  14. I Used to CouldVer letra 3:36

    [X]

    letra de I Used to Could

    Well, all down the 40 I never used to lift

    Thirteen gears, double clutch shift

    All those horses underneath the hood

    I don't do it no more but I used to could



    GMC Cannonball going like a train

    All down the 40 in the driving rain

    All those horses underneath the hood

    I don't do it no more but I used to could



    Well I don't hang around 'cause it ain't no good

    Like the big bad wolf in the neighborhood

    Chasin' after Little Red Riding Hood

    I don't do it no more but I used to could

    letra de Gator Blood

    Chicken on a hotplate gobbledegook

    I got a country boy, he's a bird who sings

    Butter paddle, buck 'n wing

    Kid's got a winner bonafide hit

    I'm gonna have my dinner on a spit

    Blood, gator blood, I got gator blood



    Hoopla, humbug, howdy-do

    Gonna make you into chicken stew

    Alligator in the mud

    Never lend a dollar to your good friend Tom

    Hogwash Holler is where he's from

    Got crows in my pasture

    Rats in my barn

    Crows in my pasture, babe

    Rats in my barn

    If I was you, little bluebird

    I'd up and find another farm



    I've got nightshade in my meadow

    Ragweed in my corn

    Nightshade in my meadow

    And ragweed in my corn

    If I was you, little bluebird

    I'd be long gone



    Yes, I got squirrels in my rafters

    Weevils in my hay

    Squirrels in my rafters

    Weevils in my hay

    If I was you, little bluebird

    I'd up and fly away

    Fly away, baby

    [X]

    letra de Dream of the Drowned Submariner

    We run along easy at periscope depth

    Sun dappling through clear water

    So went the dream of the drowned submariner

    Far away from the slaughter



    Your hair is a strawflower that sings in the sun

    My darling, my beautiful daughter

    So went the dream of the drowned submariner

    Cast away on the water



    From down in the vault, down in the grave

    Reaching up to the light on the waves



    So she did run to him over the grass

    She fell in his arms and he caught her

    So went the dream of the drowned submariner

    Far away on the water

    Far away on the water

  18. Blood and WaterVer letra 5:19

    letra de Blood and Water

    Blood and water bound to overflow

    Blood and water bound to overflow

    Well there's no more high water

    But the Old Man's just waiting, I know



    He was sent up on the levee

    Now they've gone up country

    They won't do nothing for you now

    And don't go asking me

    They've gone - it's all over here

    Sometimes I'd see her passing

    With the evening coming on

    I've seen you on her pathway

    I've seen you at dawn

    Look over yonder at that empty shack

    You know as well as I do

    They ain't coming back

    They're gone - it's all over here



    Blood and water bound to overflow

    Blood and water bound to overflow

    Well there's no more high water

    But the Old Man's just waiting, I know



    So many promises

    We broke them, every one

    Kept people on the levees

    With sherrifs and shotguns

    They're gone - it's all over here

    Look over yonder at that empty shack

    You know as well as I do

    They ain't coming back

    They're gone - it's all over here



    Blood and water bound to overflow

    Blood and water bound to overflow

    Well there's no more high water

    No more high water

    There's no more high water

    letra de Today Is Okay

    Well, we like to have some friends around

    Do the twist to Ray Charles and James Brown

    After lunch I'll maybe take a nap

    I like a nap before a scrap



    Honey, pass me more of them peas

    Mm, I do like these

    And let me have some more of those

    More steak and potatoes, yeah



    In a little while I'm going downtown

    Maybe take me one or two rounds

    I'm gonna knock that man clean out

    He's going down, no doubt



    Maybe I was born on a bad luck day

    Born under a bad sign

    But today is okay

    Today's just fine



    Baby you can read my mind

    I'll be home just after nine

    You're the best medicine I know

    Tonight we're gonna let it all go



    Put on that pretty silk shirt

    Put on on that tight black skirt

    Put on those heels so black

    We can party on when I get back



    Maybe I was born on a bad luck day

    Born under a bad sign

    But today is okay

    Today's just fine

    letra de After the Beanstalk

    Well a hen can lay a golden egg but she still can't sing

    A hen can lay a golden egg but she still can't sing

    Well the hen's alright but the harp is everything



    When he's gunning for glory a boy just won't be told

    Gunning for glory a boy just won't be told

    I went up three times but it never was for the gold



    Oh, Mama what's the matter now

    Oh, Mama what's the matter now

    That old cow she wasn't milking anyhow



    After the beanstalk your life's not the same

    After the beanstalk your life's not the same

    Well the harp's worth more than any fortune and fame



    Oh, Mama what's the matter now

    Oh, Mama what's the matter now

    I'm still up in the morning to get behind the plough



    A hen can lay a golden egg but she still can't sing

    A hen can lay a golden egg but she still can't sing

    Well the hen's alright but the harp is everything



    Oh, Mama what's the matter now

    Oh, Mama what's the matter now

    I'm still up in the morning to get behind the plough
