Let's play this one out, until it explodes
Into a thousand tiny pieces
What's the story universe
You are melody in numbers
You were shapes you were rhythms
There are signs that we can learn
Place over the heavens
To predict how long we'll burn
How long will I last

Well I feel like an old hobo, I'm sad lonesome and blue
I was fair as the summer 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

I'll be the (G) wind in you leaves
(C) the warmth of the (G) sun
(C) I'm (F) always (G) drawing your colours
(C) I'm (F) always (G) tracing your footsteps

Verse 2
(C) It's a hard world, (G) it's a cold world
(C) I could never (G) say what I mean
(C) I went (F

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

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<

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

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

(Chorus)

I've bee

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 I

CAPO 2
PALM MUTE THROUGHT OUT THE SONG
VERSE 1:

If I wanted to say to you
That I wanted to see your face again
That I wanted to hear you laugh out loud
In spite of all the damage I've done

If I wanted to hear you talk ohh no
Or to hear your sense of things

It was on one fine March morning
I bid New Orleans adieu.
And I was on the road to Jackson town,
my fortune to renew,
I cursed all foreign money,
no credit could I gain,
Which filled my heart with longing for
the lakes of Pontchartrain.

I sat on board a railway

Wound up drunk again on Robson St.
Strange cuz we always agreed
At the start of every evening
That's the last place I wanna be
Coffee drinkers dressed in black with no sugar
They don't give me no respect
They say look her comes another one
And I don't know what they m

Well I feel like an old hobo, I'm sad lonesome and blue
I was fair as the summer 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 clea

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 s

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 tha

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

Chorus:
Oh Susanna don't you cry for me
I come from Alab

Run away to the seashore it doesn't matter anymore
Doesn't matter anymore
Words dry up and fly away with the passing of the days
Eventually you just let the stone fall

Chorus:
I dreamed that I saw you you were down at the corner store
You were looking through magazines

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

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
Cos I'm your friend

I'm in love with the garden
That is

Took a walk in my neighborhood
At 2 in the mornin' by the skytrain station
The streets were full of junkies and homeless
And they all wanted somethin'
They all wanted somethin'

What am I supposed to do?
There are too many of you
too many of you…
Yet some

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
