There she goes again
She's out on the street again
She's down on her knees my friend
but you know she'll never ask you please
Now take a look there's no tears in her eyes
She wont take it just from any guy
What can you do
You see her walkin on down the street
look at all your friends she's gonna meet
You better hit her

There she goes again
She's knocked out on her feet again
She's down on her knees my friend
But you know she'll never ask you please again
Now take a look there's no tears in her eyes
What can you do
You see her walkin on down the street
Look at all your friends she's gonna meet
You better hit her

Now take a look there's no tears in her eyes
Like a bird you know she'll fly fly away
I see her walking on down the street
Look at all your friends she's gonna meet
She's gonna hurt
She's gonna work it out
She's gonna work it out bye bye
Bye bye baby
She's allright

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time

All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me? occupy my brain?
Oh yeah

I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOTwcrQFjuwWell, I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows

Are you a lucky little lady in The City of Light
Or just another lost angel...City of Night
City of Night, City of Night, City of Night, woo, c'mon

L.A. Woman, L.A. Woman
L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon
L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon
L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon
Drive thru your suburbs
Into your blues, into your blues, yeah
Into your blue-blue Blues
Into your blues, ohh, yeah

I see your hair is burnin'
Hills are filled with fire
If they say I never loved you
You know they are a liar
Drivin' down your freeways
Midnite alleys roam
Cops in cars, the topless bars
Never saw a woman...
So alone, so alone
So alone, so alone

Motel Money Murder Madness
Let's change the mood from glad to sadness

Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'
Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'
Got to keep on risin'
Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'
Mojo Risin', gotta Mojo Risin'
Mr. Mojo Risin', gotta keep on risin'
Risin', risin'
Gone risin', risin'
I'm gone risin', risin'
I gotta risin', risin'
Well, risin', risin'
I gotta, wooo, yeah, risin'
Woah, ohh yeah

Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows

Are you a lucky little lady in The City of Light
Or just another lost angel...City of Night
City of Night, City of Night, City of Night, woah, c'mon

L.A. Woman, L.A. Woman
L.A. Woman, your my woman
Little L.A. Woman, Little L.A. Woman
L.A. L.A. Woman Woman

Women think I'm fasty
But they're always tryin' to waste me
And make me burn the candle right down
But baby, baby, I don't need no jewels in my crown
'Cause all you women is low down gamblers
Cheatin' like I don't know how
But baby, baby, there's fever in the funk house now

This low down bitchin' got my poor feet a-itchin
You know, you know the deuce is still wild
Baby, I can't stay
You got to roll me and call me the tumblin' dice


Always in a hurry
I never stop to worry
Don't you see the time flashin' by
Honey, got no money
I'm all sixes and sevens and nines
Say now, baby, I'm the rank outsider
You can be my partner in crime
But , baby, I can't stay
You got to roll me and call me the tumblin'
Roll me and call me the tumblin' dice

Oh, my my my I'm the lone crap shooter
Playin' the field ev'ry night
Baby, can't stay
You got to roll me and call me the tumbin'
Roll me and call me the tumblin' dice

As soon as will be spring again, and you'll be smiling one more time. Thank you very much.  Smiley

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance wont come again
And dont speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That its namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times are a-changin'

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Dont stand in the doorway
Dont block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And dont criticize
What you cant understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you cant lend your hand
For the times they are a.changin'

The line is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The older is
Rapidly fadin'
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'

Cry, baby, cry, baby, welcome back home
I know she told you, honey, I know she told you
That she loved you much more than I, yeah
All I know is that she left you
And you swear that you just dont know why
But you know, honey, always, I'll be around
If you ever want me
Come on and cry, baby, cry, baby cry
Uh, honey, welcome back home
Dont you know, honey
Aint nobody ever gonna love you the way I try to do?
Who'll take all your pain and the heartache too?
And if you need me, you know and I'll always be around
If you ever need me, come on and cry, cry baby
Cry, baby, oh daddy, like you always sayin' to do

And when you walk around the world, babe
You say you'd try to look for the end of the road
You might find out later
That the road will end in Detroit honey
The road'll even end in Katmandu
You can go all around the world
Tryin' to find something to do with your life, baby
When you only gotta do one thing well
You only gotta do one thing well
To make it in this world babe
You got a woman waitin' for you there
All you ever gotta do is be a good man
One time to one woman
And that'll be the end of the road, babe!
I know you got more tears to share baby
So come on, come on, come on, come on and cry
Baby, cry baby, cry baby
Oh did you ever feel a little lonely dear?
I want you to come on, come on, to your mama now
And f you ever want a little love of a woman
Come on and cry, baby, baby, cry baby

Fare well my honey
Fare well my only true one
All the birds that were singing are flown
Except you alone
Goin' to leave this broekndown palace
On my hands and my knees
I will roll, roll roll
Make myself a bed by the waterside
In my time, in my time
I will roll, roll roll

In a bed, in a bed by the waterside
I will lay my head
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul
Sing me sweet and sleepy
All the way back home
Its a far gone lullaby
Sung many years ago
Mama mama many worlds I've come
Since I first left home

Goin' home, goin' home by the waterside
I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul
Goin' to plant a weeping willow
On the banck's green edge
It will grow grow grow
Singin' a lullaby beside the water
The river roll roll roll

Fare you well fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul

All the years combine
They melt into a dream
A broken angel sings
From a guitar
In the end there's just a song
Comes cryin' up the night
Through all the broken dreams
And vanished years

Stella Blue Stella Blue

When all the cards are down
There's nothing left to see
There's just the pavement left
And broken dreams
In the end there's still that song
Comes cryin' like the wind
Down ev'ry lonely street
That's ever been

Stella Blue Stella Blue

I've stayed in ev'ry blue light cheap hotel
Cant win for tryin'
Dust off those rusty strings just one more time
Gonna make them shine

Stella Blue Stella Blue

It all roll into one
And nothing comes for free
There's nothing you can hold
For very long
And when you hear that song
Comes cryin' like the wind
It seems like all this life
Was just a dream

Guess who just got back today?
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed, have much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy

They were asking if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were living downtown
Driving all the old men crazy

The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
I said
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town

You know that chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got
Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean she was steaming

And that time over at Johnny's place
Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man we just fell about the place
If that chick don't want to know, forget her

The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
I said
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town

Spread the word around
Guess who's back in town

You spread the word around

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's bar and grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
And if the boys want to fight, you'd better let them

That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
Won't be long till summer comes
Now that the boys are here again

The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
Spread the word around
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town

(whispered) The boy's are back, the boys are back

(sung) The boy's are back in town again
Been hangin' down at Dino's
The boy's are back in town again

One of my fav Dead ever. Smiley

Walk me out in the morning dew, my honey
Walk me out in the morning dew today
walk out in the morning dew, my honey
Can I walk out in the morning dew today?

While I heard a baby cry today
While I heard a baby cry today
It didnt no baby cry this morning
It didnt no baby cry today

Where are the people going my honey
Where are the people going today
As no needs to be worry about all those people
When I havent ever see those people anyway

While I heard a young man born this morning
While I heard a young man born today
walk out in the morning dew, my honey
Walk me out in the morning dew today
Walk out in the morning dew, my honey

I guess what does it matter anyway
I guess what does it matter anyway

The hand of fate is on me now
It picked me up and knocked me down
I'm on the run, I'm prison bound
The hand of fate is a heavy now
I killed a man, I'm highway bound
The wheel of fortune keeps turning round
Turning round turning round
I should have known it was a one horse town
Cause my sweet girl was once his wife
And he had papers that the judge had signed
The wind blew hard it was a stormy night
He shot me once but I shot him twice
The hand of fate is on me now
It picked me up and it kicked me right down
It picked me up and it kicked me right down

I had to save her life yeh
I gunned him twice yeh
And I watched him die
watch out boy
Yeh I watched him die

He was a barroom man the violent kind
He had no love for that girl of mine
And then one day in a drinking bout
He swore he'd throw me right out of town
The hand of fate is on me now
I shot a man
I put him underground
I put him underground
yes I did

I'm on the run
I hear the hounds
My luck is up
My chips are down
So goodbye baby so long now
Wish me luck I'm going to need it child
The hand of fate is on me now
Yeh its too late baby its too late

Its too late now
The hand of fate is on me now
Oh yeh hmm yeh yes it is
The hand of fate is a heavy now
Its a heavy now
Heavy now
The hand of fate is a heavy now
It picked me up and it knocked me down

And I’m gonna get me a passport
See, well, I’m going down south way down Mexico way
And there ain’t no hangman
Gonna put no noose around me

Just ‘cause I shot her
Just ‘cause I shot her down, all right
Well I’m going down south way down Mexico way
I’m going down south where a man can be free
No there ain’t no hangman
Gonna put a noose around me

There were three men came out of the west, their fortunes for to try
C'erano tre uomini che venivano da occidente, per tentare la fortuna
And these three men made a solemn vow
e questi tre uomini fecero un solenne voto
John Barleycorn must die
John Barleycorn deve morire
They've plowed, they've sown, they've harrowed him in
loro avevano arato, avevano seminato, loro l'avevano ficcato nel terreno
Threw clods upon his head
e avevano gettato zolle di terra sulla sua testa
And these three men made a solemn vow
e questi tre uomini fecero un solenne voto
John Barleycorn was dead
John Barleycorn era morto
They've let him lie for a very long time, 'til the rains from heaven did fall
lo lasciarono giacere per un tempo molto lungo, fino a che scese la pioggia dal cielo
And little Sir John sprung up his head and so amazed them all
e il piccolo sir John tirò fuori la sua testa e lasciò tutti stupiti
They've let him stand 'til Midsummer's Day 'til he looked both pale and wan
loro l'avevano lasciato steso fino al giorno di mezza estate (2) e fino ad allora lui era sembrato pallido e smorto
And little Sir John's grown a long long beard and so become a man
e al piccolo sir John crebbe una lunga lunga barba e così divenne un uomo
They've hired men with their scythes so sharp to cut him off at the knee
loro avevano assoldato uomini con falci veramente affilate per tagliargli via il collo
They've rolled him and tied him by the way, serving him most barbarously
l'avevano avvolto e legato tutto attorno, trattandolo nel modo più brutale
They've hired men with their sharp pitchforks who've gripped him to the heart
avevano assoldato uomini con i loro forconi affilati che l'avevano conficcato nella terra
And the loader he has served him worse than that
e il caricatore lo trattò peggio di tutti
For he's bound him to the cart
perché lo legò al carro
They've wheeled him around and around a field 'til they came onto a barn
e andarono con il carro tutto intorno al campo finché arrivarono al granaio
And there they made a solemn oath on poor John Barleycorn
e fecero un solenne giuramento sul povero John Barleycorn
They've hired men with their crabtree sticks to cut him skin from bone
assoldarono uomini con bastoni uncinati per strappargli via la pelle dalle ossa
And the miller he has served him worse than that
e il mugnaio lo trattò peggio di tutti
For he's ground him between two stones
perché lo pressò tra due pietre
And little Sir John and the nut brown bowl and his brandy in the glass
e il piccolo sir John con la sua botte di noce e la sua acquavite nel bicchiere
And little Sir John and the nut brown bowl proved the strongest man at last
e il piccolo sir John con la sua botte di noce dimostrò che era l'uomo più forte dopo tutto
The huntsman he can't hunt the fox nor so loudly to blow his horn
il cacciatore non può suonare il suo corno così forte per cacciare la volpe
And the tinker he can't mend kettle or pots without a little barleycorn
e lo stagnaio non può riparare un bricco o una pentola senza un piccolo (sorso) di grano d'orzo.
