Blackest of Blues (McGough/Roberts)
Born in Lou'siana, wrong side of the track
Brought up by a cripple in an old chicken shack
Never knew Pa, Ma died young
Ain't got no money but I got a song
He sure know what the blues are
He sure know what the blues are
He sure know what the blues are
He got the blackest of blues
My baby left me for a slick city dude
Got seven children, ain't got no food
Shot off my foot, good job I had to
Now I got the blues, gonna sing 'em to you
He sure know what the blues are
He sure know what the blues are
He sure know what the blues are
He got the blackest of blues
Ol' Shep got run over just the other day
Pig's got pneumonia, chickens won't lay
There's rats in the bedroom, dead skunk in the well
The cripple in the cupboard is starting to smell
He sure know what the blues are
He sure know what the blues are
He sure know what the blues are
He got the blackest of blues
Fellow calls says there's oil on my land
My troubles are over, gonna be a rich man
Now a rattlesnake's bit me as I'm puttin on my shoes
Ain't no happy ending to my mess o' blues
He sure know what the blues are
He sure know what the blues are
He sure know what the blues are
He got the blackest of blues
ughhhhhhhhhhhh, god damn, shit... ughhhhhh....
Where Am I Now (McGough/Roberts)
One two three, two two three,
Where am I now when I need me?
Suddenly where have I gone
I'm so alone here without me
Tell me please what have I done?
Tell me I'll come back tomorrow
I'll keep my arms open wide
Tell me that I'll never leave me
My place is here at my side
His place is there at his side
I used to do most things together
Go for walks hand in hand
I shared my life so completely
Met my every demand
Tell him he'll come back tomorrow
He'll keep his arms open wide
Tell him he'll never leave him
His place is there at his side
His place is there at his side
Maybe I simply mislaid me
Like an umbrella or key
So until the day that I come my way
Here is a song just for me
Tell him he'll come back tomorrow
He'll keep his arms open wide
Tell him he'll never leave him
His place is there at his side
House Of The Rising Sun (McGough/)
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
I go there every evening
When my work is done
There's lots of pretty women there
I hope you will agree
SO WHY NOT TAKE YOUR TROUSERS OFF AND COME
ALONG WITH ME?
Say hi to Booby Ruby, the madame as it were
Looking after all the lambs entrusted to her care
She darns their socks, makes their beds, and helps them with the rent
She does it all for Uncle Sam at 85 percent!
Presenting Miss Brody, an English governess
She'll cane you if you're naughty in your underpants and vest
Discipline's a vital part of this lady's sex appeal
And if you dare to disagree she'll whup you 'til you squeal!
It's a lot of fun at the Rising Sun,
Everybody should go there
It's a lot of fun at the Rising Sun
Tell your mama if you dare
This is Mrs. Wilkinson, a BSc in Maths
She only works on weekends and she does it just for laughs (hee
hee!)
University students seem to like her best
For the scientific formula tattooed on her chest!
yee Wooo yyeehaaahhh!!!
Woo!!
Yep!
Now you must meet Mary Lou who's only just sixteen
Sweetest little rosebud New Orleans has ever seen
Got no education, but she gets along real fine
Ask any politician a-waitin' in the line!
yow! hiiyyy!
ow!
weeeow!
It's alot of fun at the Rising Sun
Stay away if you can
It's a lot of fun at the Rising Sun
Takes a boy and makes a...
...MAN!!!!
It's a lot of fun at the Rising Sun, everybody should go there
It's a lot of fun at the Rising Sun, tell you mama if you dare
It's a lot of fun at the Rising Sun, stay away if you can....
It's a lot of fun...

Sing Me That Song (Richards)
Sing me that song
Let it roll all around
Tell me a story
Get my feet off the ground
No one can say that you don't love to play
So sing me that song once again
A song to make you happy
A song to make you smile
A song for all occasions
Why not do this thing in style
When you hear us sing together
Still singing on our own
When the party's over
We're a hundred miles from home
So won't you sing me that song
Let it roll all around
Tell me a story
Get my feet off the ground
No one can say that you don't love to play
So sing me that song once again
A song to please my baby
And wings to make her fly
Cherish and remember as the years go rolling by
When we've all run out of kisses
We can always just pretend
That this music and our loving'
and the time can have no end
So won't you sing me that song
Let it roll all around
Tell me a story
Get my feet off the ground
No one can say that you don't love to play
So sing me that song once again
So sing me that song once again
Wiggle Waggle (Grimms)
There were a little dog
Sittin' by the fireside
Who popped a little coal
And in the little doggy's tail it burnt a little hole
Away ran the little dog to seek a little pool
To cool his little tail
And wiggle waggle wiggle waggle wiggle waggle wiggle waggle
went the doggy's tail
There were a little dog
Sittin' by the fireside
Who popped a little coal
And in the little doggy's tail it burnt a little hole
For want or a better place he popped it in a pail
He popped it in a pail
And wiggle waggle wiggle waggle wiggle waggle wiggle waggle
went the doggy's tail
And wiggle waggle wiggle waggle wiggle waggle wiggle waggle
went the doggy's tail
m'dears, m'dears, m'dears...
Goose (McGough/Roberts)
You glide around the town
A sort of Sixties hippie queen
You think you're still a part of an imaginary scene
(imaginary scene)
Your window is a mirror
So you never see the sky
You live down on magazine street
And you never learned to fly
You're wearing only just feathers
And you always wear them loose
Think that you're a swan
But you're just another goose
Your airplane of perception
Cannot leave the landing strip
And you're the stewardess on every mind expanding trip
(mind expanding trip)
You say you blow your mind
But you know that isn't so
'Cause like birds of your feather
You don't have a mind to blow!
Street (Gorman/Richards)
It's just o'er the Menai Bridge as you go into Anglesey
You blink you'll miss it so keep your eyes open wide
It hasn't got a disco, a bingo hall or cinema
In fact the only thing it boasts is a very long name
How can you tell me you live somewhere funny
And you wished you could move to somewhere else
Let me take you by the hand
And walk you through the streets of
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
Bluebird Morning (Roberts)
Light me no lights
No storm today
Pray me no prayers
There's no time to pray
Bring me no charms
It's true what they say
I'm gonna miss you
when I'm on the road, my eyes half closed
Another bluebird morning
Once wrote a song about a home in the sun
Finding a shelter where I thought there was none
You ask me my meaning and I give you just one
It's that I'll miss you
when I'm on the road, my eyes half closed
Another bluebird morning
It's leaving time
You know I hate to leave
And all the things we are together
A pucking at my sleeve
You still put me down for those things I believe
But I'll miss you
when I'm on the road, my eyes half closed
Another bluebird morning
I'll miss you
when I'm on the road, my eyes half closed
Another bluebird morning
