Lyrics:
I used to live in LA, right by the freeway
I stayed out all night, drank whiskey like wine
Lied about my age
I was working till four at the old
Well the fox went out upon a windy night
Prayed to the moon a-gonna give him light
He had many long miles to go that night
Before he a-reached that
night
And tell those daddy's girls we were majorin' in the rodeo
Aw but my favorite memory of school that fall
Was the night John Roy came runnin' down
Oh, oh deep water,
Black and cold like the night
I stand with arms wide open,
I've run a twisted line
I'm a stranger in the eyes of the Maker
Huddie Ledbetter/John Lomax
Chorus:
Irene, goodnight. Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene. Goodnight, Irene. I'll see you in my dreams.
Last Saturday
like it always goes
When you're hangin' around on Skid Row
I got an old John Beam with the pain more through
Got a great big hole in the bottom of my
Dear John forgive us our sins thank you God
I wanna tell you where you're at
You lose me in this campsite
And I'm gonna teach you how to be cowboys
Now,
had enough of the stuff
Oh, you know it's got to do you in
Remember John John
How mama stayed awake all night
The night they brought him in
She
And guns did flare and guns did bawl
And I planted my bolo knife in the neck
Of mad John Finn
I took his wretched life
Now I'm over by the bandstand
to thinking about brand new wife of mad John Finn
Well, midnite came and clock did strike
And in she came, did John Finn's wife
With legs like scissors
Las Vegas Nevada city of music and laughter city of lights
Las Vegas I didn't know I would lose Betty Jo in the noise of your night
Las Vegas where
stars in the sky
You can bet that he's doin' it for some doll
When you spot a John
Waitin' out in the rain
Chances are he's insane
As only a John
Oh, oh deep water, black and cold like the night
I stand with arms wide open
I've run a twisted line
I'm a stranger in the eyes of the Maker
I
Your phone call took me by surprise
Gee its been a long, long time
Since those hot and humid Texas nights
We went swimmin' in the tide
Corpus
one when thinking of each other
More than partners much more than pieces more than friends
Words and music by John Denver
In a week or two, real soon
Where the fish don't bite but once a night
By the cold light of the moon
The horses scream the nightmares dream
I bought a bourgeois house in the Hollywood hills
With a truckload of hundred thousand dollar bills
Man came by to hook up my cable TV
We settled
Little Sister
(John Cale, Lou Reed)
Don't call me home, little sister
Before the night is done
My love and I are fleeing
Running into the sun.
I preach my dear friends you are about to receive on john barley
Corn, nicotine and the temptations of eve.
[john doesn't sing/say this first
waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting
Well Brother John lay tossing and turning,
In his bed in the heat of the night,
He heard his name and he went
strangeness?
Will you let the demon live in your pages?
In your pages?
Spent a few years in tears
But now I'm steel, I'm protected by Venus
I hope you see
Peter, James and John in a sailboat
Peter, James and John in a sailboat
Peter, James and John in a sailboat
Out on the deep blue sea
Fished all
stars in the sky
You can bet that he's doin' it for some doll
When you spot a John
Waitin' out in the rain
Chances are he's insane
As only a John
The fox went out to the chase one night
Prayed to the moon to give him light
He had many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o,
