- Oh, What a Beautiful Morning
Oh, What a Beautiful Morning
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. - Get a Job

Sha - Memphis
Memphis
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 wallHelp 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 bridgeHelp 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 tennesseeLast 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 - Shiver Me Timbers
Shiver Me Timbers
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 highAnd 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’ awayAnd 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 stoneSo 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’ awayAnd 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 stoneAnd 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 - 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 awayWell, Galveston had a sea wall
Meant to keep the water down
High tide from the ocean
Sent water over GalvestonChorus
Yeah, year was 1900
Fifty long years ago
Death came walking on the water that day
Death calls, you gotta goNow 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 faceChorus
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 manThey had two trains loaded
With people trying to leave town
Tracks gave way to the water now
And all of those people drownedChorus
I said the year was 1900
Fifty long years ago
Death came walking on the water
Death calls, you gotta goI 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
Chorus
- In the Midnight Hour
In the Midnight Hour
I’m gonna wait ’til the midnight hour
That’s when my love comes tumblin’ down
I’m gonna wait ’til the midnight hour
When there’s no one else aroundI’m gonna take you girl and hold you
And do all the things I told you
In the midnight hour, oh yeahI’m gonna wait ’til the stars come out
And see that twinkle in your eyes
I’m gonna wait ’til the midnight hour
That’s when my love begins to shineYou are the only girl I know
That really oh, loves me so
In the midnight hour, oh yeahI’m gonna wait ’til the midnight hour
That’s when my love comes tumblin’ down
I’m gonna wait ’til the midnight hour
That’s when my love begins to shineJust you and I
Just you and I, yea
Just you and I, oh yea baby
Just you and I, oh yea
Just you and I, yea - Knock on Wood
Knock on Wood
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 knowIt’s like thunder
Lightning
The way you love me is frightening
I better knock, on wood babyI’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 knowI 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 muchBetter knock back
I think I better knock, knock, knock on wood
