As I was walking down the street
A pretty girl did I meet
She's looking all so sweet
Got a major from her head to her feet
I was looking back to see
If she was looking back to see
If I was looking back at her
She glowed with such a beautiful smile
She must have been a beautiful child
Man she was all so neat
A major from her head to her feet
I was looking back to see
If she was looking back to see
If I was looking back at her
- Guitar Solo -
Her hair was curly shining bright
Her shoes in black were just delight
She wore the very best of clothes
And also black and nylon hose
I was looking back to see
If she was looking back to see
If I was looking back at her
As I was walking down the street
A pretty girl did I meet
She was looking all so sweet
Got a major from her head to her feet

He don't need no sedatives to ease his troubled mind.
At work he is invariably unpleasant and unkind.
Why should he care if he is hated in his home,
'Cause he's gotta house in the country,

He's gotta house in the country,

But he ain't gotta home, oh no,
And he's as wicked as he can be,

From that very day this boy is more than having his share.

On croit toujours avoir trouve
Le grand Amour et le vrai bonheur
On s'apercoit qu'on s'est trompe
On cherche encore un autre coeur
Mais moi j'espere avoir enfin
Trouve l'Amour sur mon chemin
J'etais seul, seul devant la vie
Mais je l'aime celle que j'ai choisie
Je defendrai mon Amour
Jusqu'a la fin de mes jours
Quand je l'ai vue la devant moi
J'ai bien pense que je l'aimerai
Et j'ai compris que cette fois
Je ne pourrai m'en detacher
Je voudrais tant avoir raison
De la garder dans ma maison
J'etais seul, seul devant la vie
Mais je l'aime celle que j'ai choisie
Je defendrai mon Amour
Jusqu'a la fin de mes jours
Je me demande jour et nuit
Si tout ce qui m'arrive
C'est ma chance de revivre

Merry month of may, sunny skies of blue,
clouds have rolled away and the sun peeps through,
May express happiness, joy you may define in a thousand ways,
but a case like mine needs a "special phrase"
to reveal how I feel.
I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
Got the string around my finger,,
What a world, what a life, I'm in love!
I've got a song that I sing,
I can make the rain go, anytime I move my finger,
Lucky me, can't you see, I'm in love,
Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold the string,
I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let go,
I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
Got the string around my finger,
What a world, what a life, I'm in love.

Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
She is my baby and she lives next door
Every mornin' 'fore the sun comes up
She brings me coffee in my favorite cup
That's why I know, yes, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so
When I'm in trouble and I have no friend
I know she'll go with me until the end
Everybody asks me how I know
I smile at them and say, "She told me so"
That's why I know, oh, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so
Now, if I call her on the telephone
And tell her that I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four
I hear her [KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK] on my door
In the evening when the sun goes down
When there is nobody else around
She kisses me and she holds me tight
And tells me, "Daddy, everything's all right"

Twas on a Sunday and the autumn leaves were on the ground.
It kicked my heart when I saw you standing there in your dress of blue.
The storm was over, my ship sailed through.
What is this feeling, what can I do?
If you and I could be relieved
To walk and talk and be deceived
I'd give my all and all and more I would do, oh yeah,
If darling only you and I could be as two.
If we could dream and by our dreams
Sew this wicked world up at the seams
I'd give my life and more I would do
If darling only you and I could be as two.
Baby, do you remember
All the good times we had together
Walking through the park
Baby, then, then we could sing,
Gave you all my money,
Everything in the world that I had,
You told me that don't mean a thing.
If still in darkness we could run
Together there in that morning sun
I'd give my all, my life and everything to you, oh yeah,
If darling only you and I could be as two.
Could be as two, could be as two,

[Spoken:]
Ride this train to any little trail in the West
You may find me riding alone late at night
My poor old horse don't understand why I ride at night and sleep in the daytime
Or why we ride in the bushes and hide every time I hear a noise
Well that's all I've done for months now running and hiding
You see my name is John Wesley Hardin
No I'm not proud of the name anymore
They say I've killed forty men
They tell a lot of different stories about me
Of course I guess I'm to blame for a lot of it
I killed the first time when I was fifteen to save my life, but then I had to do it again
Then every bum in the country that was fast with the gun started lookin' for me
They called me the fastest gun alive and I guess I was fast or I wouldn't be alive now
I got to where I couldn't walk down a street or in a saloon
Without some trigger-happy cowpoke
Wantin' to prove he could outdraw old John Wesley Hardin
Maybe I got a little bitter and didn't care whether I killed or not for a while
And I never quite forgot when the authorities in Huntsville prison
Dragged me up in the snow naked and horsewhipped me
Well that's why I'm ridin' at night
I want to go where no one has ever seen me
Where I won't even have to wear a gun
Maybe I can settle down in a quiet little town somewhere
Even get a job on the right side of the law, who knows
Maybe in a new town people will let me forget
[Song:]
I ride an old paint, he's on the weary side
And I'm a saddle tramp about to cross the great divide
Where there's grass in the coolies and water in the drawl
And a forty pound saddle won't make us both raw
Slow rider, slow rider, move on a little more
The sky boss is waitin' at the big ranch house door
I can't help but missin' the daughters that I had
One went to Denver the other went bad
My young wife died in a poolroom fight
But I try to keep singin' from mornin' till night
Slow rider, slow rider, move on a little more
The sky boss is waitin' at the big ranch house door
Whenever I die, take my saddle from the wall
Strap it on Snuffy, lead him out of the stall
Throw me on his back and turn him toward the west
He knows how to take me to the spot I love best
Slow rider, slow rider, move on a little more
The sky boss is waitin' at the big ranch house door
Ride this train to any little trail in the West
You may find me riding alone late at night
My poor old horse don't understand why I ride at night and sleep in the daytime
Or why we ride in the bushes and hide every time I hear a noise
Well that's all I've done for months now running and hiding
You see my name is John Wesley Hardin
No I'm not proud of the name anymore
They say I've killed forty men
They tell a lot of different stories about me
Of course I guess I'm to blame for a lot of it
I killed the first time when I was fifteen to save my life, but then I had to do it again
Then every bum in the country that was fast with the gun started lookin' for me
They called me the fastest gun alive and I guess I was fast or I wouldn't be alive now
I got to where I couldn't walk down a street or in a saloon
Without some trigger-happy cowpoke
Wantin' to prove he could outdraw old John Wesley Hardin
Maybe I got a little bitter and didn't care whether I killed or not for a while
And I never quite forgot when the authorities in Huntsville prison
Dragged me up in the snow naked and horsewhipped me
Well that's why I'm ridin' at night
I want to go where no one has ever seen me
Where I won't even have to wear a gun

(Rama-lama-lama, bop-she-bop-she-bop, a seven day weekend)
Well, I wish that I could have myself, a seven day weekend
Tired of sittin' on the shelf, until the weekend
Friday after school, I pick my baby up
We dance an' party till Sunday night
That's the only time I get to hold my baby tight
I wish that there could be, a seven day weekend
I'm gonna make a plea, for a seven day weekend
An' if it came about, life would be success
I'd run around, an' have a ball
An' never go to school at all
Monday, seven picture shows
Tuesday, you know, anything goes
A-Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, too
I'd party an' twist the whole week through
All day I dream about, a seven day weekend
I sit an' scheme an' scheme an' scheme
'Bout a seven day weekend
The teacher calls my name, an' I'm in another world
I'm just thinkin' about a seven day weekend
Yay, yay, yay, yay, yeah
[Instrumental]
A-well, Monday, a-seven picture shows
You know, Tuesday, yeah anything goes

When I think of all the good times that I've wasted having good times
When I think of all the good time that 's been wasted having good times
When I was drinkin'
I should've been thinkin'
When I was fighting
I could've done the right thing
All of that boozin'
I was really losin'
Good times
Good times
When I think of all the good time that's been wasted having good times
When I think of all the good time that's been wasted having good times
All of my lying
I remember her crying
My useless talkin'
I couldv'e been walkin'
Instead of complainin'
I couldv'e been gainin'
Good times
Yes, here we all are having a jolly good time
And everything is working out fine, ha ha ha ha ha
Useless talkin'
All that walkin
All of my sinnin'
I could've been winnin'
I have it too easy
And its a beginning of good times
Good times
I said good times
Talking bout good times
When I think of all the good time that 's been wasted having good times
When I was drinkin'
I should've been thinkin'
When I was fighting
I could've done the right thing
All of that boozin'

In silver sandals she goes walking up those golden stairs
And though we miss her so we know she's happy to be there
She walks with us in memory we see her all the time
In silver sandals walking through our minds
So many times we let our thoughts turn back to yesterday
To a little girl that could only watch the children as they played
She walks with us in memories we see her all the time
In silver sandals walking through our minds
The grave in which she sleeps is cold, but our thoughts of her are warm
And we cry as we both long to hold her in our arms
Each night in dreams we see her running to us smiling sweet
With silver sandals on her little feet
In silver sandals she goes walking up those golden stairs
And though we miss her so we know she's happy to be there
She walks with us in memory we see her all the time
In silver sandals walking through our minds
(She had asked for sandals from the time that she could talk
And it would break our hearts when she'd ask us why she couldn't walk
She'd say when I go to heaven, can I change my crutches then
For a pair of silver sandals at the rainbow's end)
In silver sandals she goes walking up those golden stairs
And though we miss her so we know she's happy to be there
She walks with us in memory we see her all the time
In silver sandals walking through our minds
In silver sandals walkin' through our minds
And though we miss her so we know she's happy to be there
She walks with us in memory we see her all the time
In silver sandals walking through our minds
So many times we let our thoughts turn back to yesterday
To a little girl that could only watch the children as they played
She walks with us in memories we see her all the time
In silver sandals walking through our minds
The grave in which she sleeps is cold, but our thoughts of her are warm
And we cry as we both long to hold her in our arms
Each night in dreams we see her running to us smiling sweet
With silver sandals on her little feet
In silver sandals she goes walking up those golden stairs
And though we miss her so we know she's happy to be there
She walks with us in memory we see her all the time
In silver sandals walking through our minds
(She had asked for sandals from the time that she could talk
