   There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow,
   There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow,
   The corn is as high as an elephant’s eye,
   An’ it looks like it’s climbin’ clear up to the sky.

   Oh, what a beautiful mornin’,
   Oh, what a beautiful day.
   I got a beautiful feelin’
   Ev’rything’s goin’ my way.

   All the cattle are standin’ like statues,
   All the cattle are standin’ like statues,
   They don’t turn their heads as they see me ride by,
   But a little brown mav’rick is winkin’ her eye.

   Oh, what a beautiful mornin’,
   Oh, what a beautiful day.
   I got a beautiful feelin’
   Ev’rything’s goin’ my way.

   All the sounds of the earth are like music,
   All the sounds of the earth are like music,
   The breeze is so busy it don’t miss a tree,
   And a ol’ weepin’ willer is laughin’ at me!

   Oh, what a beautiful mornin’,
   Oh, what a beautiful day,
   I got a beautiful feelin’
   Ev’rything’s goin’ my way.
   Oh, what a beautiful day.

   Long distance information, give me memphis tennessee
   Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
   She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
   ’cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall

   Help me, information, get in touch with my marie
   She’s the only one who’d phone me here from memphis tennessee
   Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge
   Just a half a mile from the mississippi bridge

   Help me, information, more than that I cannot add
   Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
   But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
   And tore apart our happy home in memphis tennessee

   Last time I saw marie she’s waving me good-bye
   With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
   Try to put me through to her in memphis tennessee

   I’m leavin’ my fam’ly
   Leavin’ all my friends
   My body’s at home
   But my heart’s in the wind
   Where the clouds are like headlines
   On a new front page sky
   My tears are salt water
   And the moon’s full and high

   And I know Martin Eden’s
   Gonna be proud of me
   And many before me
   Who’ve been called by the sea
   To be up in the crow’s nest
   Singin’ my say
   Shiver me Timbers
   ‘Cause I’m a-sailin’ away

   And the fog’s liftin’
   And the sand’s shiftin’
   I’m driftin’ on out
   Ol’ Captain Ahab
   He ain’t got nothin’ on me, now.
   So swallow me, don’t follow me
   I’m trav’lin’ alone
   Blue water’s my daughter
   ‘n I’m gonna skip like a stone

   So please call my missus
   Gotta tell her not to cry
   ‘Cause my goodbye is written
   By the moon in the sky
   Hey and nobody knows me
   I can’t fathom my stayin’
   Shiver me timbers
   ‘Cause I’m a-sailin’ away

   And the fog’s liftin’
   And the sand’s shiftin’
   I’m driftin’ on out
   Ol’ Captain Ahab
   He ain’t got nothin’ on me
   So come and swallow me, follow me
   I’m trav’lin’ alone
   Blue water’s my daughter
   ‘n I’m gonna skip like a stone

   And I’m leavin’ my family
   Leavin’ all my friends
   My body’s at home
   But my heart’s in the wind
   Where the clouds are like headlines
   Upon a new front page sky
   And shiver me timbers
   ‘Cause I’m a-sailin’ away

5. Wasn’t That a Mighty Storm

   Wasn’t That a Mighty Storm

   Chorus:
   Wasn’t that a mighty storm
   Wasn’t that a mighty storm in the morning
   Say, wasn’t that a mighty storm
   Blew all the people away

   Well, Galveston had a sea wall
   Meant to keep the water down
   High tide from the ocean
   Sent water over Galveston

   Chorus

   Yeah, year was 1900
   Fifty long years ago
   Death came walking on the water that day
   Death calls, you gotta go

   Now the trumpets,they sounded warning
   Said it’s time to leave this place
   But no one thought about leaving town
   Til death stared them in the face

   Chorus

   Right then the sea started boiling
   A thing that no ship could stand
   I thought I heard a captain crying out
   Somebody save a drowning man

   They had two trains loaded
   With people trying to leave town
   Tracks gave way to the water now
   And all of those people drowned

   Chorus

   I said the year was 1900
   Fifty long years ago
   Death came walking on the water
   Death calls, you gotta go

   I said Death, your hands are clammy
   You got them on my knee
   You came and threw a stone at my mother
   And now you’re coming after me.

   Chorus

   I’m gonna wait ’til the midnight hour
   That’s when my love comes tumblin’ down
   I’m gonna wait ’til the midnight hour

   And do all the things I told you

   I’m gonna wait ’til the stars come out
   And see that twinkle in your eyes

   I don’t wanna lose
   This good thing
   That I got
   If I do now
   I would surely
   Surely lose alot
   ‘Cause your love
   Is better
   Than any love I know

   It’s like thunder
   Lightning
   The way you love me is frightening
   I better knock, on wood baby

   I’m not superstitious
   About you
   But I can’t take no chance
   Got me spinning, spinning baby
   Baby, I’m in a trance
   ‘Cause your love
   Is better
   Than any love I know

   I better knock, baby
   Ain’t no secret
   That woman
   Fills my lovin’ cup
   She sees to it
   That I get enough
   Just one touch
   Is better
   You know it means so much

   Better knock back
   I think I better knock, knock, knock on wood
