Blackbird, blackbird singing the blues all day
Right outside of my door
Blackbird, blackbird why do you sit and say
There's no sunshine in store
All through the winter you hung around
Now I begin to feel homeward bound
Blackbird, blackbird gotta be on my way
Where there's sunshine galore
Pack up all my cares and woe, here I go, singing low,
Bye-bye Blackbird.
Where somebody waits for me, sugar's sweet, so is she,
Bye-bye Blackbird.
No one here can love and understand me.
Oh, what hard-luck stories they all hand me.
Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight,
Blackbird, Bye-bye.
Bluebird bluebird calling me far away
I've been longing for you
Bluebird bluebird, this is my lucky day
Skies are turning to blue
I'm like a flower that's fading here
Where ev'ry hour is one long tear
Bluebird bluebird this is my lucky day
Now my dreams will come true
Pack up all my cares and woe, here I go, singing low,
Bye-bye Blackbird.
Where somebody waits for me, sugar's sweet, so is she,
Bye-bye Blackbird.
No one here can love and understand me.
Oh, what hard-luck stories they all hand me.

We know this grocery clerk
Unprepossessing
Some think the boy's a jerk
They have our blessing
But when he starts to move
He aims to please
Which only goes to prove
That sometimes in a clerk you find a Hercules
He hasn't much that's plus
You might describe him thus
A false alarm, a broken arm
An imitation Hitler and with littler charm
But oh, can that boy foxtrot
His mouth is mean
He's not too clean
What makes him look reptilian
Is the Brilliantine
But oh, can that boy foxtrot
Who knows, what I saw in him
I took a chance
Oh yes
One more flaw in him
He can't dance
As dumbbells go
He's rather slow
And as for being saintly
Even frankly, no
But who needs Albert Schweitzer when the lights are low
And oh boy, oh boy can that boy foxtrot
Right now, as I speak of him, I hear those drums
And all the technique of him
He's all thumbs!
He's jokes are quaint
And fairly faint
He may be full of hope, but I've no complaint
He often is a bore, but on the floor he ain't
And oh boy, oh boy
Can that boy, foxtrot
Unprepossessing
Some think the boy's a jerk
They have our blessing
But when he starts to move
He aims to please
Which only goes to prove
That sometimes in a clerk you find a Hercules

I fear no high, I fear no low
I'm putting my faith in the one who knows
I give my life to the winds
Show me a place where I begin
'Cos I don't know where secrets go
Lies in the bottom of the river flow
'Cos life's too short for getting too long
Can't be doing any more with love
Oohh
Said I can't be doing any more with love
Oohh (repeat)
I've done my time, I've paid my dues
I packed my bags and away I flew
I tried so hard to steady fast
Love's forever as long as it lasts
A crazy chance, a quick fix high
Running on empty hearts desire
Life's too short for getting too long
So why be doing any more with love
Oohh
Said I can't be doing any more with love
Oohh (repeat)
But if you want to try again
Maybe one more chance to try again
(improv)
I can't be doing
I can't be doing any more with love
I'm putting my faith in the one who knows
I give my life to the winds
Show me a place where I begin
'Cos I don't know where secrets go
Lies in the bottom of the river flow
'Cos life's too short for getting too long
Can't be doing any more with love
Oohh
Said I can't be doing any more with love
Oohh (repeat)
I've done my time, I've paid my dues
I packed my bags and away I flew
I tried so hard to steady fast
Love's forever as long as it lasts
A crazy chance, a quick fix high
Running on empty hearts desire
Life's too short for getting too long
So why be doing any more with love
Oohh
Said I can't be doing any more with love
Oohh (repeat)
But if you want to try again
Maybe one more chance to try again
(improv)
I can't be doing
I can't be doing any more with love

Under the gaze of the angels
A spectacle like he's never seen
Spinning lights and faces
Demon music and gypsy queens
The glint of iron wheels
Bodies spin in a clockwork dance
The smell of flint and steel
A wheel of fate, a game of chance
How I prayed just to get away
To carry me anywhere
Sometimes the angels punish us
By answering our prayers
By answering our prayers
A face of naked evil
Turns a young boy's blood to ice
The deadly confrontation
Such a dangerous device
The glint of iron wheels
Bodies spin in a clockwork dance
The smell of flint and steel
A wheel of fate, a game of chance
Shout to warn the crowd
Accusations ringing loud
A ticking box, in the hand of the innocent
The angry crowd moves towards him with bad intent
How I prayed just to get away
To carry me anywhere
Sometimes the angels punish us
By answering our prayers
By answering our prayers
The glint of iron wheels
Bodies spin in a clockwork dance
The smell of flint and steel
A wheel of fate, a game of chance
A spectacle like he's never seen
Spinning lights and faces
Demon music and gypsy queens
The glint of iron wheels
Bodies spin in a clockwork dance
The smell of flint and steel
A wheel of fate, a game of chance
How I prayed just to get away
To carry me anywhere

By answering our prayers

Turns a young boy's blood to ice
The deadly confrontation

Come all you rounders if you wanna hear
The story about a brave engineer
Casey Jones was the roller's name
On a 68 wheeler course he rode to fame
Caller called Casey bout half past four
He kissed his wife at the station door
He climbed in the cabin with his orders in his hand
Said this is the trip to the Promised Land
Casey Jones climbed in a cabin
Casey Jones orders in his hand
Casey Jones leanin' out the window
Taking a trip to the Promised Land
Through South Memphis Yards on a fly
Rain been a fallin' and the water was high
Everybody knew by the engine's moan
That the man at the throttle was Casey Jones
Well Jones said fireman now don't you fret
Sam Webb said I ain't a givin' up yet
We're eight hours late with the southbound mail
We'll be on time or we're leavin' the rails
Casey Jones climbed in a cabin
Casey Jones orders in his hand
Casey Jones leanin' out the window
Taking a trip to the Promised Land
Dead on the rail was a passenger train
Blood was a boilin' in Casey's brain
Casey said hey now look out ahead
Sam jump, Sam jump or we'll all be dead
With a hand on a whistle and a hand on a brake
North Mississippi was wide awake
I see railroad official said
He's a good engineer to be a laying dead
Casey Jones climbed in the cabin
Casey Jones orders in his hand
Casey Jones leanin' out the window
Taking a trip to the Promised Land
Headaches and heartaches and all kind of pain
Are all the part of a railroad train
Sweat and toil, the good and the grand
Are part of the life of a railroad man
Casey Jones climbed in the cabin
Casey Jones orders in his hand
Casey Jones leanin' out the window
Taking a trip to the Promised Land
The story about a brave engineer
Casey Jones was the roller's name
On a 68 wheeler course he rode to fame

Dis-moi, Celine, les annees ont passe
Pourquoi n'as-tu jamais pense a te marier ?
De tout's mes soeurs qui vivaient ici
Tu es la seule sans mari
Non, non, non, ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas
Tu as, tu as toujours de beaux yeux
Ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas
Tu aurais pu rendre un homme heureux
Dis-moi, Celine, toi qui es notre ainee
Toi qui fus notre mer', toi qui l'as remplacee
N'as-tu vecu pour nous autrefois
Que sans jamais penser a toi ?
Non, non, non, ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas
Tu as, tu as toujours de beaux yeux
Ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas
Tu aurais pu rendre un homme heureux
Dis-moi, Celine, qu'est il donc devenu
Ce gentil fiance qu'on n'a jamais revu ?
Est-c' pour ne pas nous abandonner
Que tu l'as laisse s'en aller ?
Non, non, non, ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas
Tu as, tu as toujours de beaux yeux
Ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas
Tu aurais pu rendre un homme heureux
Mais non, Celine, ta vie n'est pas perdue
Nous sommes les enfants que tu n'as jamais eus
Il y a longtemps que je le savais
Et je ne l'oublierai jamais
Ne pleure pas, non, ne pleure pas
Tu as toujours les yeux d'autrefois
Ne pleure pas, non, ne pleure pas
Nous resterons toujours pres de toi
Nous resterons toujours pres de toi
Pourquoi n'as-tu jamais pense a te marier ?

Whatever you've done it's all over
Wherever you've been is so strange
Yesterday's long gone forever
Damned if what you're feelin' isn't change
Music that used to seem hollow
Now seems to fit in your range
Today is the now and the never
Damned if what you're feelin' isn't change
It's fun to wander along a yesterday road
trying so hard to retain
All of the wondrous and beautiful times that
never can happen again
So get yourself up off your past, friend
There's so much to rearrange
Tomorrow sits right next to never
Damned if what your feelin' isn't change
Wherever you've been is so strange
Yesterday's long gone forever
Damned if what you're feelin' isn't change
Music that used to seem hollow
Now seems to fit in your range
Today is the now and the never
Damned if what you're feelin' isn't change
It's fun to wander along a yesterday road

Someday when I'm over you
And when I think I'm able to
Well, I might try to be
Your friend again
But your restless heart
And rovin' eyes
My jealousy, these endless fights
I've got to get out of your life
Or I will never mend
I guess I'll die a bit each day
But I'm always dying anyway
And I don't have the heart to
Stay, and I can't take the pain
I know we've tried to no avail
Our heaven now has
Turned to hell
The same old hurt
We know so well
And something's got
To change
We both know it's got to end
The passion's gone
It's just pretend
And one of us have got
To make the move
We might as well just give it up
We've lost respect and
There's no trust
And without this, there's
No real love
It's just some sad excuse
I guess I'll die a bit each day
But I'm always dying anyway
And there's nothing left but walk away
Ain't this a crying shame
A change of pace
A change of heart
A change of place
A place to start
And we'll be better off apart
Our only chance is change
And we never will
But something has to change
But someday when I'm over you
And when I think I'm able to
Then I will try to be your friend again
But I don't want to see
Your face 'til then
Change
I need a change, a change
We need a change
And when I think I'm able to
Well, I might try to be
Your friend again
But your restless heart
And rovin' eyes
My jealousy, these endless fights
I've got to get out of your life
Or I will never mend
I guess I'll die a bit each day
But I'm always dying anyway
And I don't have the heart to
Stay, and I can't take the pain
