High Water Everywhere
Well there's high water everywhere
Lord the river overflows
Well there's high water everywhere
Lord the river overflows
You go where its high boy
Down to hill country road
Still the water was rising
I been sinking down
Man, that water was rising
At all places around
Where the fifty men and children, come to sink and drown
Now we're looking at New Orleans, where the crest stood high
Nobody said it was rising, one more time silver lie
Should move up much higher, before I sink and die |
Bridge To Better Days
You sit in your big house baby
you drive your fancy car
you treat me like I'm not there
but I guess that's who you are
I'm on the bridge to better days
better days are coming now
tired of asking all my friends
please help me once more
this old life that I'm leading
got me down the floor
I'm on the bridge to better days
better days are coming now
better days are coming now
better days are coming now
gonna be a matter of time
you know the sun will rise
used to say it was in my head
I was led along instead
I'm on the bridge to better days
better days are coming now
better days are coming now
better days are coming now
ohhhhhhh |
Asking Around For You
If i get to heaven
the first thing I'll do
before I meet my maker
I'm gonna ask around for you
all of heaven gotta know
your beauty ever true
I'll tap an angel on the shoulder
and I'll be asking around for you
I'm sure you've found a place up there
where we all can sit and talk a while
play some cards and drink black coffee
How I'd love to see you smile
If I get to heaven
and I'm praying that I do
I'll be the first thing I do
I'll tap an angel on the shoulder
and I'll be asking around for you
I'm sure you found a place up there
where we all can sit and talk a while
play some cards and drink black coffee
I'd love to see you smile
If I get to heaven now
oh I'm praying that I do
I'll be the first thing I do
I'll tap an angel on the shoulder
and I'll be asking around for you
I'll tap an angel on the shoulder
and I'll be asking around for you |

So Many Roads
So many roads
So many trains to ride
So many roads
So many trains to ride
I'm gonna find my baby
Before I'll be satisfied
I was standing at my window
When I heard that whistle blow
I was standing at my window
When I heard that whistle blow
I thought it was a straight line
But it was B & O
It was a mean old fireman
And a cruel engineer
It was a mean old fireman
And a cruel engineer
That took my baby
And left me standing here
So many roads
So many trains to ride
So many roads
So many trains to ride
I'm gonna find my baby
Before I'll be satisfied |
Tamp Em Up Solid
Tamp 'em up solid, so they won't come down
Tamp 'em up solid, buddy, so they won't come down
Tamp 'em up solid, so they won't come down
Tamp 'em up solid, buddy, so they won't come down
Baby, when you marry your railroad man
Every day'll be pay day, dollar bill in your hand
Baby, in your hand, baby, in your hand
Baby, in your hand, baby, in your hand
Mary and the baby laying in the bed
Thinking about the money that I ain't made
So tamp 'em up solid so they won't come down
Tamp 'em up solid, buddy, so they won't come down
Captain called the water boy and the water boy laughed
Captain kicked the water boy yelling, ";Yes, yes, yes";
So tamp 'em up solid, so they won't come down
Tamp 'em up solid, buddy, so they won't come down
And you can do it, and you can do it, and you can do it
So they won't come down |
Tea For One
How come twenty four hours, Baby sometimes seem to slip into days?
Oh twenty-four hours, Baby sometimes seem to slip into days
One minute seems like a lifetime, baby when I feel this way
Sittin, lookin at the clock yeah.., time moves so slow
I've been watchin for the hands to move
Until I just can't think no more
How come twenty four hours, Baby sometimes seems to slip into days?
One minute seems like a lifetime, Oh..Baby when I feel this way.
To sing a song for you, I recall you used to say
"Oh baby this one's for we two", Which in the end is you anyway
How come twenty four hours, Baby sometimes seem to... slip into days?
One minute seems like a lifetime, baby when I feel this way.
There was a time that I stood tall, In the eyes of other men
But by my own choice I left you woman, And now I can't, can't get you back again
How come twenty-four hours. Yeah.., Baby sometimes seem to slip into days?
One minute seems like a lifetime, Oh, Baby when I feel this way
One minute seems like a lifetime
Baby when I feel this way...I feel this way |

Because I and you are man and wife, tryin' to start a family
I'm beggin' you baby, cut out that off the wall jive

Yeah, you gotta treat me better, or it gotta be your funeral and my trial |
Torn Down
One more cross to bear
One more mind over matter
One more road I ride
One more day alone
One more night in the city
No more living lies
I won't wait
I won't be torn down
Wait
Won't be turned around
Wait
I won't be torn down
I won't be torn down
Won't be torn down
I won't be torn down
Won't be torn down
I won't be torn down
Won't be torn down, yea
Got my eyes on you
Bringin' sight to a blind man
One more precious time
Feel the sun risin'
One more day with the rhythm
Just what I have to play
I won't wait
I won't be torn down
Wait
Won't be turned around
Wait
I won't be torn down
I won't be torn down
Won't be torn down
I won't be torn down
Won't be torn down
I won't be torn down
Won't be torn down, yea |
