Jambalaya
Goodbye, Joe, he gotta go, me oh my ohHe gotta go-pole the pirogue go down the Bayou
His Yvonne the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the Bayou
Thibodaux, Fontaineaux the place is buzzin'
A kin-folk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dressed in style, the go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the Bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
For tonight, I'm a-gonna see my, my cher au mi-oh
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the Bayou
Settle down far from town get him a pirogue
And he'll catch all the fish in the Bayou
Swap his mom to buy Yvonne what she need-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the Bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
For tonight, I'm a-gonna see my, my cher au mi-oh
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the Bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
For tonight, I'm a-gonna see my, my cher au mi-oh
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the Bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo (hee-haw)
For tonight, I'm a-gonna see my, my cher au mi-oh
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the Bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
For tonight, I'm a-gonna see my, my cher au mi-oh
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the Bayou
Precious time
Precious time is slipping awayBut you're only king for a dayIt doesn't matter to which God you prayPrecious time is slipping away
It doesn't matter what route you takeSooner or later the hearts going to breakNo rhyme or reason, no master planNo Nirvana, no promised land
Because, precious time is slipping awayYou know you're only king for a dayIt doesn't matter to which God you prayPrecious time is slipping away
Say que sera, whatever will beBut then I keep on searching for immortalityShe's so beautiful but she's going to die some dayEverything in life just passes away
But, precious time is slipping awayYou know she's only queen for a dayIt doesn't matter to which God you prayPrecious time is slipping away
Well this world is cruel with its twists and its turnsBut the fire's still in me and the passion it burnsI love her madly 'til the day I die'Til hell freezes over and the rivers run dry
Precious time is slipping awayYou know she's only queen for a dayIt doesn't matter to which God you pray becausePrecious time is slipping away
Precious time is slipping awayYou know you're only king for a dayIt doesn't matter to which God you prayPrecious time is slipping away
Precious time is slipping awayYou know you're only king for a dayIt doesn't matter to which God you pray becausePrecious time is slipping away

All along the watchtower
There must be some kind of way outta hereSaid the joker to the thiefThere's too much confusionI can't get no relief
Business men, they drink my winePlowmen dig my earthNone will level on the lineNobody offered his wordHey, hey
No reason to get excitedThe thief, he kindly spokeThere are many here among usWho feel that life is but a jokeBut, uh, but you and I, we've been through thatAnd this is not our fateSo let us stop talkin' falsely nowThe hour's getting late, hey
Hey
All along the watchtowerPrinces kept the viewWhile all the women came and wentBarefoot servants, tooWell, uh, outside in the cold distanceA wildcat did growlTwo riders were approachingAnd the wind began to howl, hey
All along the watchtower
All along the watchtower
All along the watchtower
Hungry Heart
Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, JackI went out for a ride and I never went backLike a river that don't know where it's flowingI took a wrong turn and I just kept going
Everybody's got a hungry heartEverybody's got a hungry heartLay down your money and you play your partEverybody's got a h-h-hungry heart
Oh
I met her in a Kingstown barWe fell in love, I knew it had to endWe took what we had and we ripped it apartNow here I am down in Kingstown again
Everybody's got a hungry heartEverybody's got a hungry heartLay down your money and you play your partEverybody's got a h-h-hungry heart
La-la-la-la-la-la, oh yeahLa-la-la-la-la-la
Everybody needs a place to restEverybody wants to have a homeDon't make no difference what nobody saysAin't nobody like to be alone
Everybody's got a hungry heartEverybody's got a hungry heartLay down your money and you play your partEverybody's got a h-h-hungry heart
Oh yeah(Everybody's got a hungry heart)(Lay down your money and you play your part)Oh yeah(Everybody's got a hungry heart)La-la-la-la-la-laOoh yeah
La-la-la-la-la-la
"Fragile"
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are
Cakewalk into town
I had the blues, so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frownYou know I'm feeling so much better, I could cakewalk into town
Honey, I woke up this mornin' feelin' so good, you know I laid back down againThrow your big leg over me mama, I might not feel this good again
My baby, my baby, I do love the way she walksAnd when my woman gets sleepy, I love the way she baby-talks
My work is getting scarce, oh baby, my work it done got hard,I spend my whole day stealin' chickens Honey from the rich folks yard
I would love to take a picnic in the country and stay all dayI wouldn't do nothing but while my blues away
I had the blues so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frownYou know I'm feelin' so much better I could cakewalk into town
