1. WELLS FARGO

Jake ridin' shotgun the whole of his days
Headin' for the Mexican border
Shotgun movin' to the rhythm of his range
Just to help him keep law and order
Sits right back just a-takin' it easy
Drinks a shot a whisky and it makes him mighty wheezy
He coughed hard once
He coughed hard twice
Neglecting keeping watch
Don't mind the sheriff's advice

Ridin'
Shotgun
Runnin' over land
To the Rio Grande
Now

Shots rang down from the rocks up above
And bore Jake to his feet
His pants fell down and actin' like a clown
The bullets had him dancin' to a rock 'n' roll beat
Big Jake did the boogaloo too
Got lucky, he cried like a drunk
His operations ain't no ??? for you
And that's the way it is

Ridin'
Shotgun
Runnin' over land
To the Rio Grande
Now

Stage gotten in to the centre of town
And Jake gotta have himself a drink
He got to the bar and what he saw
Simple station folk would hate to think
Ella-May was dancin' to the sound of the blues
Her belly must be wobblin' right down to her shoes
It's a-groovin' on the sidewalk, just don't get too near
'Cause you're gonna get knocked over by a belly full o' beer

Ridin'
Shotgun
Runnin' over land
To the Rio Grande
Take the law in hand
To the Rio Grande
Now


2. THE RUNAWAYS

Man on a sidewalk, stone cold
He's carrying everyone's load
And a tear in his eye
Mirrors moon in black sky
His dreams have been building too high

Now he's finding he's lost every way
Hopes shattering one by one day
Don't you trust no one's heart
'Cause they'll tear you apart
And they'll laugh as you're runnin' away

“The time has now gone”
Said the boy on the run
To the crowed as they all turned him away

Don't you give me no hard luck up-raised
Don't you give me more reasons to hate
'Cause the saints of the Brujard(?)
Have been acting too hard
Won't you clear out before it's too late

“The time has now gone”
Said the man with the gun
To the crowed as they all turned away

“The time has now gone”
Said the man with the gun
To the crowed as they all turned away

4.BLACK DOG

Black dog up and sniffed his plate a-steamin' on the stove
Kids ain't seen you home all day, you're a gentleman born to roam
Black dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's been
Think of where he's been today

Have you seen the black dog's teeth, sharp like a knife?
Have you seen him tear apart a throat, to take a life?
Black dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's been
Think of where he's been today

Have you seen the black dog's eyes starin' in the fire?
It would not occur to him to question your desire
Black dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's been
Think of where he's been today

I've always had a fear of creatures cryin' in the dark
And every form of evil seems to bear an evil mark
Black dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's been
Think of where he's been today

My man lay beside me and my black dog's at my feet
He keeps me from my wanderin' life and he robs me of my sleep
Black dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's been
Think of where he's been today

Now I don't know the black dog's name but when I call him he will come
How'd I ever get that black dog? Lord, he's shown me what he wants
Black dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's been
Think of where he's been today

Black dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's been
Think of where he's been

Black dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's been
Think of where he's been


5. THE MEXICAN

He's called Fernandez
Livin' on a gun
Dreams of Santa Anna
Fighting in the sun
Drums so loud from outside
Makes it hard to dream
A rain is fallin' hard and fast
Makes it all seem real
Mornin' come mornin
A Chico's gotta have his share
Mornin', sad mornin'
Said he must be there

Mornin', sad mornin'
What a laugh, and I cried
And I cry, cry, cry, cry, cried

Mornin', sad mornin'
Mexican

Siñorita pining
Chico come on home
Santa Anna's losing
You'll be first to go
Sam Houston's laughing
Davy Crockett too
When Anna takes the Alamo
The first to go is you
Mornin', come mornin'
A Chico's gotta have his share
Mornin', sad mornin'
Heaven will be there
Mornin', sad mornin'
What a laugh and out loud
Ha ha ha ha ha


6. JOKER

I said, hey, Cat, you gotta move out of here
I got enough to turn you on
Well now, Rat, don't you have no fear
Cause I'm lookin' for some dope
We'd better get it on.

Catcher man said we gotta move out of here
Move further on down the stairs.
Well if they kick you out
Don't joke about it
Cause there ain't enough time to explain.

Joker, don't use me
I've had about enough of you
Joker don't abuse me
I don't know, don't know what I can do

Joker, don't use me
Had about enough of you
Joker don't abuse me
I don't know, don't know what I can do

I told this Joker that you looked quite easy
Why did you try to score again?
Yes I did, but all I found was a $5 deal
But you only ever wanted, wanted him

I said to this Joker man you gotta be stealin'
A quarter an ounce for a $5 bill
He said if that's the way that you feel then you'd better not pay
'S alright, I'll pay it on Friday, on the windowsill
Joker, don't use me
Had about enough of you
Joker don't abuse me
I don't know, don't know what I can do

I said, hey, Cat, you gotta move out of here
I got enough to turn you on”
Well now, Rat, don't you have no fear
Cause I'm lookin' for some dope
We'd better get it on.”

Joker, don't use me
Had about enough of you
Joker don't abuse me
I don't know, don't know what I can do

Joker, don't use me
Had about enough of you
Joker don't abuse me
I don't know what I can do

Joker, don't use me
Had about enough of you
Joker don't abuse me
I don't know what I can do

Joker, don't use me
Had about enough of you
Joker don't abuse me
I don't know what I can do

Joker, don't use me
Had about enough of you
Joker don't abuse me
I don't know what I can do

Joker, don't use me
Had about enough of you
Joker don't abuse me
I don't know what I can do
