Sad Eyed Joe (Paul King)

 

Let me tell you about a story, about a man named Joe

His family they was hungry, so he said I'm gonna go

Go up in the mountains, start looking for some gold

 

So he started out one morning, the wind was getting cold

The air was nearly freezing, it was ten degrees below

*

Chorus:

Sad eyed Joe, why did you go,

Your family's gonna miss you, they want you back at home

Think about the winter, think about the snow

Think about the things that you're gonna leave behind

When your looking for the gold dust that you're never gonna find

*

He wakes up every morning, after only five hours sleep

Chewing on a tasteless piece of gristly worn out meat

His coffee runout weeks ago he won't admit defeat

 

Panning on the water searching with his hands

Looking for the yellow dust but all he find is sand

Chorus

They searched fro him every day for one whole solid week

They found him lying frozen at the bottom of the creek

A bag of yellow gold dust between his icy feet

 

His collar it was turned up frozen to his jaw

Sad eyed Joe looked sadder than he ever looked before

Chorus ..................  

 

 

San Francisco Bay Blues (Jesse Fuller)

 

I g ot the blues from my baby down by San Francisco Bay

She took the ocean liner she's gone so far away

Well I didn't mean to treat her so bad

She was the best looking girl I ever had

She said goodbye, make me cry, I'm gonna lay down and die

 

Well I aint got a nickle I aint got a lousy dime

If she don't come back I think I'm gonna lose my mind

If she ever comes back to stay, there's gonna be a brand new day

Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay

 

I'm sitting down and looking through my back door

Just a wondering which way to go

Woman I'm so crazy for says she don't love me no more

Think I'll take me a freight train

Because I'm feeling blue

Ride on the back to the end of the line

A thinking only of You well meanwhile I'm sitting in the city

Just about to go insane

The woman I'm so crazy 'bout, wondering if she call my name

If she ever comes back to stay, there gonna be a brand new day

A walking with my baby by the San Francisco Bay.  

 

 

Santo Antonio Santo Francisco

Testo di V. Pallavicini, P. Conte – Musica

 

Santo Antonio Santo Francisco

L’ultima notto con lei.

Santo Francisco Santo Antonio

C’era un silenzio tra noi

Con un accento che fa

“tiara-tirà”

 

Santo Antonio Santo Francisco

Quante stazioni lillià

Santo Francisco Santo Antonio

Ma il treno è fermo di già

E uno solo che fà ?

“tiara-tirà”

Her name was Jolanda - Il suo nome era Jolanda

I’ll never forget her - Non potrò mai dimenticarla

Also because her feet - Anche perchè i suoi piedi

Were so long - Erano tanto lunghi

She wore number 46 - Ella portava la misura 46

She always assaulted me - Ella sempre mi assaltave

In a different station - In una differente stazione

She was mad - Ella era matta

Just like me - Proprio come me

Santo Antonio Santo Francisco

L’ultima notto con lei.

Santo F rancisco Santo Antonio

Lei tiene i suoi, io i miei

Tanto ho l’accento che fa

“tiara-tirà”

 

 

 

Seaside Holiday (Ray Dorset)

 

Polished up the car soon to be on our way

Gotta get ready for the Summer holiday

Tomorrow we'll be out there lyin' in the sun

Chasing all the women havin' lots of fun

 

CHORUS

No time for worries spending all our pay

We're on a seaside holiday

Gonna have a party every night an' day

We can do exactly what we wanna do

Runnin' round the funfair find a new romance

Goin' down the disco doin' a new dance

 

CHORUS

 

Something new most every night

Maybe we'll get in a fight

Dancin' listening to the radio

Midnight parties on the beach

A new girl we'd like to meet

Two weeks on an' we won't wanna go

 

What we gonna do when we get home

Looking in the letter box picking up the phone

Goin' back to work cos we gotta pay our bills

But we don't carecos we're holidaying still

Got to do the washing, got to pay the bills

See You Again (Ray Dorset)

 

I was comin' to see you

down by the waterside

hopin' you'de still be my friend

I got to the corner

and stopped for a soda

wish I could see you again

 

Hours are driftin'

my thoughts gettin' mistin'

caught like a lion in a pen

you can still find me

at work in the library

wish I could see you again

 

I bin' a long time

out in the countryside

castin' my rod an' my line

fishing the river

be a forgiver

wish I could see you again

 

River rock the boat

throw my overcoat

over, sit by my side

said, we could do this again

 

Never mind the wind

blowin' out your hair

sit in a rockin' chair

wish I ccould see you again

 

I was comin' to meet

outside your mother's place

hopin' to see you again

I got to the corner

and stopped for a soda

hope you will still be my friend  

 

 

Shadow Of The Trees (Ray Dorset)

 

Scarlet sunrays in the afternoon

Gathering tulips in the month of June

Strolling softly thinkin' 'bout a tune

Lyin' in the shadow of the trees

 

Mountain streams trickling through the wood

Sweet aroma of the blossoms good

Schoolgirls laughing their smiles set the mood

Lyin' in the shadow of the trees

 

Dogs are barking in the distant hills

Goin' over to the whippoorwill

Birds still singin' the clouds are still

Lyin' in the shadow of the trees

 

Life sometimes seems to be behind

Out of town things aint so wild

But it's great here in the countryside

Lyin' in the shadow of the trees

 

CHORUS

There's one place where I love to be

The countryside's so good to me

There's one place where I love to be

That's lying in the shadow of the trees  

 

Shake 'Til I Break (Ray Dorset)

 

Well I've told you how I bopped until I dropped

Now I'm gonna shake

Shake until I break

 

CHORUS

I'm gonna shake until I break

I'm gonna shake until I break

A' well although my body's aching'

You know I've got to keep shakin'

I'm gonna shake, gonna shake

Gonna shake until I break

 

When I hear the sound of heavy music in my ears

It makes me shake all over

Yeah I just can't sit still

Especially when I'm making love

The music drives me on

My baby screams an' hollers

But she'll never turn it off

 

Electric beatin' rhythms sending shivers down my spine

I'm breaking out all over an' my body's sure on fire

There's screaming all around me but there's nothin' I can take

I'm wild just like a tiger

Gonna shake until I break

 

 

She Rowed (Ray Dorset)

 

Well she said goodbye, to her man,

She missed the ship even though she ran,

And she rowed, ah didn't she row.

 

Yeah she had to sail, across the sea,

So she booked a trip on an old ferry,

And she rowed, ah didn't she row.

 

Well the captain saw the girl on to the quay,

But he still sailed away,

There were no more boats for another week,

And she had no place to stay.

 

Yeah her man had gone, she din't know were,

so she stole a dinghy from a yacht somewhere,

And she rowed, ah didn't she row.

 

The sea was rough, the weather was bad,

But she kept on rowing 'till she got to France,

And she rowed, ah didn't she row.

 

Well she travelled so fast caused such a stir,

The people came from miles around,

To see the girl who stole a boat,

When she missed her ship in town  

 

 

She's Gone (Ray Dorset)

 

The rain fell on my window

the wind was at my door

I tried to light my fire

I was feelin' mighty cold

my woman gone an' left me

to look after myself

I thought I'd hit the city

I don't want no one else

 

Chorus:

 

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

 

Repeat last two lines of each vers

 

Made a cup of coffee

smoked my last cigarette

I put on my big coat

never paid no rent

trudging through the puddles

water's got my shoes

in my head's a sad song

guess I've got the blues

 

Repeat Chorus

 

Sky was gettin' greyer

day was drawin' in

got myself a paper

light was pretty dim

stood up on the bridge

I thought I'd drown myself

river look real cruel

couldn't make no sence  

 

 

 

Simple Things (Ray Dorset)

 

it's the simple things that I do  make me feel so good

like driving real fast in my car  when I pull off the hood

feel the wind in your face  yeah baby,  it's sure feels good

 

I woke up this morning,  had someting on my mind

so I went to the doctor  there was nothing he could find

went and saw my woman  made me feel alright

 

Well, we went for a walk in the park  till the sun went down

we strolled thru the streets and we  looked at the shops in the town

we went to a club an we danced  to some wonderfull sounds

 

It's the simple things that I do  make me feel so good

like driving real fast in my car  when I pull off the hood

feel the wind in your face  yeah baby,  it's sure feels good

 

I woke up this morning,  had someting on my mind

Snakebite (Ray Dorset)

 

I saw a little biker girl with long, long legs,
She gave me such a shiver like wet paint setting,
I was roaring like thunder on my cool motor bike,
Ooh baby, is there something that you like?

Chorus:
This way, that a-way, any kinda other way,
You want some loving it'll do just right,
Snakebite, snakebite, any time of day or night,
Give it to me honey, give me Snakebite.


It makes you wanna holler and it makes you wanna scream,
And at night it sure can make you satisfy a girl of seventeen,
You wanna tell your woman in the middle of the night,
Give her some of that snakebite.

Repeat Chorus:

Wild girls in their teens, dirty pictures, magazines,
Eeny meenie, skinny minnie,
Flesh shows, videos, something happens down below,
Feels right, outta sight, heavy metal Sanakebite.

Repeat Chorus:

There's something thrilling all the girls, giving them a buzz,
Drive them all crazy, man, just can't get enough,
How can violent lovers satisfy their appetite,
Give them some of your snakebite.

Repeat Chorus:

Makes you wanna holler, makes you wanna scream,
makes you wanna shout, gimme gimme gimme gimme....

 

 

So Lonely  (Ray Dorset)

 

Oh I’m so lonely, I’m so lonely without you

Oh I’m so lonely, I’m so lonely without you

But if you come back little darling

You know that you’ll break my heart in two

 

Oh I’m so lonely, Oh I’m so lonely for your touch

Oh I’m so lonely, Oh I’m so lonely for your touch

But if you come back little darling

You know that you’ll hurt me oh so much

 

Oh I’m so tired, so tired of waiting for your call

Oh I’m so tired, so tired of waiting for your call

But if you come back little darling

You know that I would give you all  

 

 

Somebody Stole My Wife (Ray Dorset)

 

Chorus twice

Somebody stole my wife,  Somebody stole my wife

Somebody stole my wife

 

I went away one weekend  When I came back she'd left me

An' I cried every night  Somebody stole my wife

 

I never thought she'd leave me  Never thought she would deceive me

But I was wrong not right  Somebody stole my wife

 

Chorus

 

My nights are gettin' longer  An my love's gettin' stronger

I've lost my appetite  Somebody stole my wife

 

I can't get my boots clean  You know just what I mean

An' my shirts are not white  Somebody stole my wife

 

Chorus

Chorus Twice

 

 

Somebody Tell Me (Ray Dorset)

I don't know why the rain keeps fallin on my head

I hear them talking but there's nothin that's bin said

My eyes are open but there's nothin' I can see

Somebody tell me somebody please

 

CHORUS            Somebody tell me etc.

 

I'm so confused oh I hear so many lies

I want some truth I aint aiming for the sky

Oh we've bin tricked an we've bin stabbed right in the back

But we'll find the answers and we aint gonna crack

 

Somebody tell me etc.

 

I feel so helpless oh I feel so down

I feel so restless no one comes around

Time is on my side things'll go my way

Some  

 

 

Something On My Mind (Ray Dorset)

 

I was brought up on the other side of town

On iced cakes and hamburgers

Got thrown out of school when I was fifteen

Thought that I had all the answers

Got into rock music when I was just a kid

Started hanging round all nighters

French blues and black bombers kept me on the scene

Thought that nothing could hurt us

 

CHORUS

But now I've got something on my mind

I've got something on my mind

Tired of livin', scared of dying

I've got something on my mind

 

Fought with my folks because they didn't understand

Left home and found a crash pad

Took a few trips and thought that I could change the world

But the crowd I hung out with were real bad

Robbed a few drug stores, stole cash and stole the pills

Got hooked and had to find more money

Sent my woman out to hustle on the streets

I guess she did it because she loved me

 

CHORUS

 

Just another night, just another night

Got to get myself together

I can't live like this forever

Just another night, just another night

Got a gun in my hand

But I know I can't do it

Well it's just another night

 

Have you ever been alone

Thinking of someone you can't have

An' your mind seems like it's gone an' blown

You've lost everything, everything you've had

 

Oh no don't give up no don't give up

You've had enough don't give up  

 

 

Stay With Me (Ray Dorset)

 

I get excited girl whenever you're near

Can't keep away you know I need you it's clear

So love me, no don't leave me alone

Your soft warm body sends a chill down my spine

And when we touch I go right out of my mind

So love me, no don't leave me alone

 

Love me, stay with me, let's make love together

Love me, stay with me, let's make love forever

 

I wanna hold you and squeeze you real tight

Want you to love me baby all through the night

You're in my heart, you're in my dreams and my soul

I want you so much, oh the whole world must know.  

 

 

Staying At Home (Ray Dorset)

Sugar In The Bowl (Ray Dorset)

 

Sugar in the bowl, sugar in the bowl, all dressed up saying "Bless My Soul",
Nobody knows what they like to feel old, down in the sugar in the bowl.

Sugar in the bowl is a mighty fine town, nothing goes up and the money goes round,
Nobody knows what they like to feel down, down in the sugar in the bowl,
Down in the sugar in the bowl.

There is a girl with a turned up nose, mighty fine freckles and her painted toes,
The boys all whistle wherever she goes down in the sugar in the bowl.

There is a man with a luminous tie, a big round face and a gleam in his eye,
Everybody laughs when he passes by, down in the sugar in the bowl.

There is a girl with a turned up nose, mighty fine freckles and her painted toes,
The boys all whistle when her knickers show, down in the sugar in the bowl.

 

 

Sugar Mama (Ray Dorset)

 

Sugar Mama, look at me, won't you give your love to me,

Sugar Mama, what you've done, Sugar Mama, let's have fun,

You take me for a walk, Just a baby I couldn't talk,

16 and you're 31, Sugar Mama, let's have fun.

 

Sugar Mama, you're so fine, Won't you let me taste your cherry wine,

Sugar Mama, you're so fine, Won't you let me taste your cherry wine.

She walks those streets at night, Painted face and painted eyes,

I dreamt about you, wet my bed, Sugar Mama, what you said.

 

Sugar Mama, you're so fine, Let me taste your cherry wine,

Sugar Mama, spend all night, let me taste your cherry wine,

Sugar Mama, you're so fine, Won't you let me taste your cherry wine,

Sugar Mama, you're so fine, Won't you let me taste your cherry wine,

   

 

Summer's Gone (Ray Dorset)

 

Summers gone down comes the rain, winters coming round again

shops lit up with brand new gear, christmas time will soon de here

leaves are falling from the trees, goodbye birds and goodbye bees

 

No more lying round the pool, back to work and back to school

Girls can bake a party cake, kids and stuff well I feel great

if your'e friendly to your Pa, he might let you take the car

 

 

 

Sweet Mary Jane (Ray Dorset)

 

I think about the people I know

and of the places I've been

of all the girls I've ever loved

I still want sweet Mary Jane

 

I think about the hot summer days

and of the cold mountain stream

of quiet meadows and green apple trees

and of my sweet Mary Jane

 

Come with me we'll follow the sun

to a land 'cross the see

take my hand and I'll be your friend

oh, come with me Mary Jane

take my hand and I'll be your friend

oh, come with me Mary Jane, ch ch ch.

 

I think about the people I know

and of my sweet Mary Jane.
