SWEET OLD MARTHA-MAE
​
Don’t call the doctor I can’t feel my toes
I dug a little deep into love and I took me a lethal dose
Sweet old Martha
She's been getting too close
​
Don’t call the nurses I think I’m going blind
I took too many gallons of that
Sweet old Martha’s wine
Sweet old Martha
Lord she’s doing fine
​
Well maybe baby baby I’m on the wrong side of town
I feel I’m going up sweet child
But I’m going on down now
Take it on down now
​
Don’t call the surgeon my chest is open wide
I just couldn’t believe all the things
That I held so deep inside
Sweet old Martha
Come on let’s go for a ride
​
Well maybe baby baby I’m on the wrong side of town
I feel I’m going up sweet child
But I’m going on down now
Take it on down now
​
Don’t call the hearses I feel that it’s too late
My mind is slipping fast
And I never felt so great
Sweet old Martha
She’s been running on fate
​
Well what was I supposed to do
With you coming over here looking like that
You know I wouldn’t want to interrupt you babe
You know I wouldn’t want to hold you back
Well what was I supposed to do
With you coming over here looking so damn sweet like that
You know I wouldn’t want to touch you babe
Any more than I’d want to touch a dead cat
Sweet old Martha
What the hell do you think about that?

LEARN TO LOVE YOURSELF
​
You can bring me down and knock me up
You can take a golden sip from my silver cup
And I’d love to love you baby
If you could learn to love yourself
​
Well I was on my way to the Voodoo Lounge
Bound to make a million dollars without making a sound
And I’d love to love you baby
If you could learn to love yourself
​
I’m a gentle soul with a gentle mind
You can shadow me with secrets in the diamond mine
And I’d love to love you baby
If you could learn to love yourself
​
Take a hold of me I’ll take a hold of you
And we’ll dance around our lovers neath that gorgeous moon
And I’d love to love you baby
If you could learn to love yourself
​
I can ride a bus, I can take a train
You can judge me every morning
And i'll lose the day
But I’d love to love you baby
If you could learn to love yourself

(YOU'VE GOT TO) MOVE REAL SLOW
​
Run through the trees
Don’t step on the leaves
Beautiful stallion in the fog and the breeze
You’ve got to move real slow
Don’t let them catch you baby
Move real slow
Don’t let them stop you now
Shine like the sun goddess that you once were
​
Your visions on life
Left me broken tonight
Might as well be swimming with the senator's wife
You’ve got to move real slow
Don’t let them catch you baby
Move real slow
Don’t let them stop you now
Shine like the sun goddess that you once were
​
Breakfast at six
Dinner at eight
I wouldn’t mind you manners being left at the gate
You’ve got to move real slow
Don’t let them catch you baby
Move real slow
Don’t let them stop you now
Shine like the sun goddess that you once were

A SHOT IN THE DARK (AT WILLIE McHOWELL)
​
A shot in the dark at Willie McHowell
Always make you wonder why the girls go wild
He’s been here since the morning crying
Don’t want to live but he’s gonna die in style
​
The morning sun came way too soon
He’s still loving up another man's moon
Jealousy can have it’s downs
Won’t be long fore’ Willie aint around here soon
​
Poor John Grady caught him in her forest
Munching on her valley like a pie eating contest
Pulled out a little old pistol shaking
Everybody’s bed for a mile was a shaking mess
​
A shot in the dark at Willie McHowell
Always make you wonder why the girls go wild
He’s been here since the morning crying
Don’t want to live but he’s gonna die in style
​
All the women round wonder where he’s been
Said Poor John Grady has done him in
They left their husbands to discover
There never was or will be another lover like him
​
A shot in the dark at Willie McHowell
Always make you wonder why the girls go wild
He’s been here since the morning crying
Don’t want to live but he’s gonna die in style

​
AND THE SUN DON'T SHINE
​
I caught you in the cellar
Making biscuits for the Queen
And it must have been an accident
When your life became a dream
And your memory had fouled up
When your life became obscene
But the mystery men still dance for you don’t they?
And the sun don’t shine anymore
And the sun don’t shine anymore
​
Well I met you down on Broadway
Heading down to the docks to brag
About how everything is innocent
And the ugly should be hanged
And meeting you there was coincidence
For I’ve never felt such a drag
But the mystery men still dance for you don’t they?
And the sun don’t shine anymore
And the sun don’t shine anymore
​
There’s a raven at your window
With the daisies cheek to cheek
And your tongue is slightly twisted
As your legs have left their seat
I’ll meet you in the alleyway
I’ll meet you by the creek
But the mystery men still dance for you don’t they?
And the sun don’t shine anymore
And the sun don’t shine anymore

GEMMA'S SONG
​
I have wandered many mountains
Crying like a child
I have seen you on your own
Broken legs and almost home
I need you to set me free
Love is gold now can’t you see
That this is all for you girl
This is all for you girl
So forgive me for what I know
What I love and what I don’t now
You sweet young thing
​
I’ve been blessed with a raven's wings
Born so meek and mild
I have left babe in the night
Born for love in the night
I’ve jumped off moving trains
Lost my heart but I don’t complain
That this is all for you girl
This is all for you girl
So forgive me for what I know
What I love and what I don’t now
You sweet young thing
​
I have kissed you in the shade
Tongues all cold and wet
I have called babe can’t you see
The numbers here for you and me
Please don’t run away
Just one more thing to say
That this is all for you girl
This is all for you girl
So forgive me for what I know
What I love and what I don’t now
You sweet young thing

WHAT MY BABY'S GOT ON TONIGHT
​
Well the congressman is lying in his lazy chair
He’s got a sister in the mission at the county fair
She’s dreamt of better things when she was allowed to
He’s busy with his fingers as her memory still lingers
There’s a troop of lonely singers who would love to dare
The nuns in the mission to take of their clothes if they knew how to
I don’t believe you, but that can change
I don’t believe you, but that can change
Cause there’s only one thing on my mind
What my baby’s got on tonight
​
Well Pablo Neruda writing “Residence on Earth”
And there’s a crowd of lonely singers in a beat up hearse
There’s a hundred dollar bill in the office if you feel you need it
You look up and you look down but you may never get your rest
You’ll wind up just like old Jackie in the cuckoo's nest
Running around like you don’t know which way you came from
I don’t believe you, but that can change
I don’t believe you, but that can change
Cause there’s only one thing on my mind
What my baby’s got on tonight
​
Well she’s wearing me out, yes she’s wearing me out
Well she’s wearing me out, she’s wearing me out
Don’t you think you need a little bit of time
Don’t you think you need a little bit of time
​
I don’t believe you, but that can change
I don’t believe you, but that can change
Cause there’s only one thing on my mind
What my baby’s got on tonight
​
Well she’s wearing me out, yes she’s wearing me out
Well she’s wearing me out, she’s wearing me out
Don’t you think you need a little bit of time
Don’t you think you need a little bit of time

YOU GO TO MY HEAD (Duet)
​
Everything you do (Everything you do)
Takes me back to paradise
Everything you do girl (Everything you do boy)
Cools my bones
Cools my bones
​
Every time you smile ( Every time you smile)
Instruments begin to play
Every time you smile girl (Every time you smile boy)
It warms my bones
Girl you warm my bones
​
Goodness gracious I think I’m falling
The devil’s on the loose
And I don’t mind giving it up to you
​
Every thing you say (Every thing you say)
Tells me that I can’t go wrong
Every thing you say girl (Ever thing you say boy)
It chills my bones, it chills my bones
Girl you chill my bones
​
I love you, I love you, I love you You go to my head
I need you, I need you, I need you You go to my head
I dream you, I dream you, I dream you You go to my head
I love you, I love you, I love you You go to my head

JOAN BAEZ
​
Something in the way you laugh
Makes me feel oh so complete
You remind me of a young Joan Baez
From your head down to your feet
Some one said if you love some one let them go
And I might know
If I could lay in your arms, if I could lay in your arms
​
Something in the way you talk
Makes me want to hear a little more
I wrote to you a book of poetry
My mystic heart bled from the core
I don’t want to shelter you from the light
But I just might
If I could lay in your arms, if I could lay in your arms
​
I heard you say if you love some one
You’ve gotta let them know
I need the courage just to sing to you
Girl cause I can’t speak at all
​
Something in the way you look
Sure would make Joanie speechless today
Now I’ve run out of words myself
It’s your turn to have something to say
I’ll take off my clothes and reveal what’s behind this mask
Is that too much to ask?
Just to lay in your arms, if I could lay in your arms
