2. MORNING DEW

Walk me out in the morning dew, my honey
Walk me out in the morning dew today
I can't walk you out in the morning dew, my honey
I can't walk you out in the morning dew at all

Thought I heard a young girl crying, mama
Thought I heard a young girl cry today
Oh I did not hear no young girl crying, mama, mama, mama
I did not hear no young girl cry at all

Thought I heard a young boy crying
I thought I heard a young boy cry today
Oh I did not hear no young boy crying
Oh I didn't hear no young boy cry
Now there is no more morning dew
Now there is no more morning dew
What they've been saying all these years was not true
Now there is no more morning dew
No, no, no, no more - no, no, no, no more
No more morning dew
No more morning dew


3. ONE MORE CUP OF COFFEE

Your breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie.
I don't sense affection
No gratitude or love
Your loyalty is not to me
But to the stars above

One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below

Your daddy he's an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
And how to throw the blade
He oversees his kingdom
So no stranger dare intrude
His voice it trembles as he calls
For another plate of food

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below

Your sister sees the future
Like your mama and yourself.
You've never learned to read or write
There's no books upon your shelf
Your pleasure knows no limits
Your voice is like a lark
But your heart is like an ocean
Mysterious and dark

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below


4. LAST TIME I SAW HER

Last time I saw her she was running
Laughing swirling high above the ground
People stop and check and watch her coming
Crazy little mama going round and round
Last time I touched her she was burning
Through a heat of ever lasting light
Drifting through her fires my ceaseless yearning
Flaming little mama will you burn all night
Hey, will you burn all night
Hey will you burn all night

The first time I kissed her I surrendered
Hands reached for the sky no disgrace
Safe inside my love so warm and tender
Movin little mama it's your place
Ooh moving little mama
Oh will you burn all night
Mmm will you burn all night

Will you
Will you burn all night
Oh can you burn all night

Last time I saw her she was running
Rollin tumble fall on the ground
Mama always said she's got it coming
Crazy little mama keep your dresses down

Crazy little mama, Crazy
Crazy little mama


5. SONG TO THE SIREN

Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle
Sail to me
Sail to me
Let me enfold you
Here I am
Here I am
Waiting to hold you
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you Hare when I was fox?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks
Touch me not, touch me not,
Oh, come back tomorrow;
Oh my heart, oh my heart
Shies from the sorrow

I am puzzled as a newborn baby
I am troubled as the tide
Should I stand amidst the breakers?
Or should I lie with Death my bride?
Swim to me
Swim to me
Oh, come let me enfold you
Here I am
Here I am
Waiting to hold you


6. WIN MY TRAIN FARE HOME

If I ever get lucky mama
Win my train fare home
If I get lucky babe
Win my train fare home
I'm goin' back to the border
Where I'm better known
Oh your calf is hungry mama
Hey baby I believe he needs to suck
Oh your calf is hungry baby
Mama I believe he needs a suck
Oh your milk is turning blue
I believe he's outta luck

Hey yeah, yeah

You know you got me crawlin and the grass grows very high
I'm just gonna keep on crawlin now baby until the day I die
Crawl into your window,
Crawl into your door
Crawl anyway you want now
Baby I'm gonna crawl across your floor

Yallah Yallah oh Yallah

Well that's all right mama
Baby that's all right for you
Oh that's all right baby
Oh mama that's all right for you
To be low down dirty any old way you do

Oh well oh well

You know you got me crawlin now babe and the grass grows very high
I'm just gonna keep on crawlin now baby until the day I die
Gonna craw into your window,
Gonna crawl into your door
Gonna crawl anyway you want now
Baby I'm gonna crawl across your floor, crawl across your floor


7. DARKNESS, DARKNESS

Darkness, Darkness, be my pillow, Take my head and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow, In the silence of your deep
Darkness, darkness, hide my yearning, For the things I cannot see
Keep my mind from constant turning, To the things I cannot be
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, cover me with the endless night
Take away the pain of knowing, fill the emptiness with light
Emptiness with light now

Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome, Is the day that brings me here
I have felt the edge of sadness, I have known the depths of fear
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, Cover me with the endless night
Take away this pain of knowing, Fill this emptiness with light now
Emptiness with light now

Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, cover me with the endless night
Take away this pain of knowing, fill this emptiness with light now
Oh with light now
Darkness, Darkness, be my pillow, Take my head and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow, In the silence of your deep
In the silence of your deep
In the - oh oh yeah
In the summer baby
come on come on come on baby


8. RED DRESS

Walk right out of my life
Keep your money in your hand
Look out where you're headin mama
Don't go running blind
Shine it out strut it out
Keep your ear right to the ground
Watch out now for strange cats
When them strange cats come around
Pretty little girl with the red dress on, pretty little girl she can dance

Keep your eyes wide open
Hold your head up high
You are now a stranger here
So much changes with a sigh
Call out ask for fortune
She would lend a helping hand
Do not turn your back on the lady
When the lady comes round
Pretty little girl with the red dress on, pretty little girl she came down

Some would say that love is blind
I blame it on the moon
People say that loves unkind
I'm finally out of tune
Mama Mama mama just keep on dancing to it
Baby baby baby I'll dance a tune for you

Pretty little Girl with the red dress on,
Pretty Pretty Pretty little girl she can dance

Dancing down main street
Some say do the stroll
Need the time to look around
Another day in the hole

No one cares about the fool
Who lost the final goal
Knowing only chance survived
And sacrificed his soul

Pretty little girl with the red dress on
Pretty little girl she can dance
Pretty little Pretty little girl


9. HEY JOE

Hey Joe where you goin with that money in your hand
Hey Joe where you goin with that money in your hand

I'm goin downtown, buy me a blue steel 44
I'm goin downtown, buy me a blue steel 44

Hey Joe, where you goin with that gun in your hand
Hey Joe, where you goin with that gun in your hand

I'm goin downtown find my baby she's been running with another man
Gonna find my woman she's been running with another man.

Hey Joe I heard you shot your lady down
Hey Joe I heard you shot your lady down

Yes I did I shot her just like I said
Yes I did I shot her just like I said

Hey Joe where you gonna run to now
Hey Joe where you gonna run to now

I'm goin way down south
I'm goin way down south where I can be free

Ain't no hangman
Ain't no hangman
Ain't' no hangman
Ain't no hangman puttin no noose around me


10. SKIP'S SONG

If you'd seen the naked dream
I had of you
Would you care
And would you now come through

Take me far away
My wiles and mind can't beat a dream of death today
Hard to get by
When what greets my eye takes my breath away

In my dream you are around the stars
I watched your walls all fall away
You were bare of thoughts, we were to part
And we stayed that way

Some try to hide
Because they lied
They were not true
And they were afraid

They refuse to see
Or be free, be one to gods, they prayed
Cryin', "Save me, save me!"
Save me, save me, save me!
I'll save you, can I spend you?

And now this naked dream
I had of you
And Will you care
And will you now come through

Take me far away
My miles and mind can't beat a dream of death today
Hard to get by
When what greets my eye takes my breath away

Cryin', "Save me, save me, save me!"
I'll save you. Can I spend you?
