Oh all the money that in my whole life i did spend Be it mine right or wrongfully I let it slip gladly past the hands of my friends To tie up the time most forcefully But the bottles are done We’ve killed each one And the table’s full and overflowed And the corner sign…
 
I’ll remember you When i’ve forgotten all the rest, You to me were true, You to me were the best. When there is no more, You cut to the core Quicker than anyone i knew. When i’m all alone In the great unknown, I’ll remember you. I’ll remember you At the end of the trail,…

Come gather ’round, people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters around you have grown And accept it that soon you’ll be drenched to the bone If your time to you is worth saving Then you better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone For the times, they are a-changin’ Come writers and…
 
I dreamed i saw st. augustine, Alive as you or me, Tearing through these quarters In the utmost misery, With a blanket underneath his arm And a coat of solid gold, Searching for the very souls Whom already have been sold. “arise, arise,” he cried so loud, In a voice without restraint, “come out, ye…

If you find it in your heart, can i be forgiven ? Guess i owe you some kind of apology I’ve escaped death so many times, i know i’m only living By the saving grace that’s over me. By this time i’d-a thought i would be sleeping In a pine box for all eternity My…
 
Lay down your weary tune, lay down, Lay down the song you strum, And rest yourself ‘neath the strength of strings No voice can hope to hum. Struck by the sounds before the sun, I knew the night had gone. The morning breeze like a bugle blew Against the drums of dawn. Lay down your…
 
I got mixed up confusion Man, it’s a-killin’ me Well, there’s too many people And they’re all too hard to please Well, my hat’s in my hand Babe, i’m walkin’ down the line An’ i’m lookin’ for a woman Whose head’s mixed up like mine Well, my head’s full of questions My temp’rature’s risin’ fast…

As i went out one morning To breathe the air around tom paine’s I spied the fairest damsel That ever did walk in chains I offer’d her my hand She took me by the arm I knew that very instant She meant to do me harm Depart from me this moment I told her with…
 
Oxford town, oxford town Everybody’s got their heads bowed down Sun don’t shine above the ground Ain’t a-goin’ down to oxford town He went down to oxford town Guns and clubs followed him down Just because his face was brown Better get away from oxford town Oxford town around the bend He went to the…
 
Oh, the time will come up When the winds will stop And the breeze will cease to be breathin’ Like the stillness in the wind Before the hurricane begins The hour that the ship comes in And the seas will split And the ship will hit And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking…
 
You wanna talk to me, You got many things to say. You want the spirit to be speaking through, But your lust for comfort get in the way. I can read it in your eyes, oh, What your heart will not reveal. And that old evil burden has been draggin’ you down, Bound to grind…
