They Call The Wind Maria

A-way out here they got a name for wind and rain and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire is Joe, and they call the wind Maria
Maria blows the stars around and sends the clouds a-flyin'
Maria makes the mountains sound like folks up there are dyin'
Maria! Maria!
They call the wind Maria
Before I knew Maria's name and heard her wail and whinin'
I had a girl, and she had me, and the sun was always shinin'
But then one day I lost my girl, I left her far behind me
And now I'm lost, so gol-durn lost, not even God can find me
Maria! Maria!
They call the wind Maria
Out here they got a name for rain, for wind and fire only
But when you're lost and all alone there ain't no word but lonely
And I'm a lost and lonely man, without a star to guide me
Maria blow my love to me, I need my girl beside me
Maria! Maria!
They call the wind Maria

I went into town to see you yesterday
But you were not at home
So I talked to some old friends for a while
Before I wandered off alone
It's so hard for me now, but I'll make it somehow
Though I know I'll never be the same
Won't you ever change your ways?
It's so hard to make love pay
When you're on the losin' end
And I feel that way again
Well, I miss you more than ever
Since you've gone I can hardly maintain
Things are diff'rent 'round here
Every night my tears fall down like rain
It's so hard for me now, but I'll make it somehow
Though I know I will never be the same
Won't you ever change your ways?
It's so hard to make love pay
When you're on the losin' end
I feel that way again

I was driftin' in '61, I was blowin' all over the land
That war in Asia had just begun but I wasn't takin' no stands
I made my way out to Californ' -- I thought I could find me some rest
By then my spirit was tired and worn; I'd given Montana my best
Travel on boy, keep a-rollin'
Know the angels walk by your side
Someday you'll hear those bells a-tollin'
Ringing out for that glory no man can hide
I met a girl up in Callahan with a smile that lifted my heart
I knew by her I would make my stand -- she said we never would part
That Spring she said we would have a child, my heart filled -- I wanted to cry
I could not know what would come to pass -- at birth-time, they both would die
Travel on boy, you keep a-rollin'
Though the Devil walks by your side
Someday you'll hear those bells a-tollin'
Ringing out for that glory no man can hide
And you know now that wheel keeps turnin'
It won't slow down until you die
But while in your heart a fire is burning
You will find the courage to try
You know it ain't the end of the world
You know it ain't the end of the world
I said it ain't the end of the world

Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco Bay
I have nothin' to live for
Look like nothing gonna come my way
CHORUS
Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home
CHORUS
=========================
Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail-lights heading for Spain
I can see Daniel waving goodbye,
God it looks like Daniel
Must be the clouds in my eyes
They say Spain is pretty though I’ve never been.
Daniel says it’s the best place he’s ever, ever seen
He should know he’s been there enough.
Lord I miss Daniel
Oh, I miss him so much
Oh-oh, Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won’t heal
Your eyes have died, but you see more than I
Daniel you’re a star in the face of the sky
Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail-lights heading for Spain
I can see Daniel waving goodbye,
God it looks like Daniel,
Must be the clouds in my eyes
Oh God it looks like Daniel,
Must be the clouds in my eyes

Brokedown Palace

Fare you well, my honey
Fare you well, my only true one
All the birds that were singing
Are flown, except you alone
Going to leave this brokedown palace
On my hands and my knees I will roll, roll, roll
Make myself a bed by the waterside
In my time, in my time, I will roll, roll, roll
In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head
Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul
River going to take me, sing me sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home
It's a far gone lullaby sung many years ago
Mama, mama, many worlds I've come since I first left home
Going home, going home by the waterside I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul
Going to plant a weeping willow
On the bank's green edge it will grow, grow, grow
Singing a lullaby beside the water
Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll
Fare you well, fare you well, I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul

You say you will love me if I have to go
You'll be thinking of me, somehow I will know
Someday, when I'm lonely, wishing you weren't so far away
Then I will remember the things we said today
You say you'll be mine, girl, 'til the end of time
These days such a kind girl seems so hard to find
Someday, when we're dreaming, deep in love, not a lot to say
Then we will remember the things we said today
Now me, I'm just the lucky kind
I love to hear you say that love is love
And though we may be blind
Love is here to stay, and that's ...
Enough to make you mine, girl, be the only one
Love me all the time, girl, we'll go one and on
Someday, when we're dreaming, deep in love, not a lot to say
Then we will remember the things we said today
Now me, I'm just the lucky kind
I love to hear you say that love is love
And though we may be blind
Love is here to stay, and that's ...
Enough to make you mine, girl, be the only one
Love me all the time, girl, we'll go one and on
Someday, when we're dreaming, deep in love, not a lot to say
Then we will remember the things we said today
Then we will remember the things we said today
=================================
Your breath is sweet, your eyes are like two jewels in the sky
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth on the pillow, where you lie
But I don't sense affection, no gratitude, no love
Your loyalty is not to me, but to the stars above
One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee, 'fore I go to the valley below
Your daddy, he's an outlaw, and wanderer by trade
He'll teach you how to pick and choose and how to throw the blade
He oversees his kingdom so no stranger does intrude
His voice, it trembles as he calls out for another plate of food
One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee, 'fore I go to the valley below
Your sister knows the future like your mama and yourself
You've never learned to read nor write -- there's no books upon your shelf
Your pleasure knows no limits, your voice is like a meadowlark
But your heart, it's like the ocean, mysterious and dark
One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee, 'fore I go

(Lost My) Drivin' Wheel

Just came up on the midnight special
How 'bout that
My car broke down in Texas
Stopped dead in its tracks
I just called to tell you that I love you
I just called to tell you how I feel
I feel like some old engine, lost my drivin' wheel
I feel like some old engine, lost my drivin' wheels
Lost all my money on a night train, babe
Such a terrible thing
And I'd really like to be there with you
Ah, you know what I mean
I just called to tell you that I need you
I just called to tell you how I feel
I feel like some old engine, lost my drivin' wheel
I feel like some old engine, lost my drivin' wheel
I feel like some old engine, lost my drivin' wheel
I feel like some old engine, lost my drivin' wheel
I feel like some old engine, lost my drivin' wheels

Nights In White Satin

Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I've always missed, with these eyes before,
Just what the truth is, I can't say any more
Cause I love you, yes I love you, oh, how I love you.
Gazing at people, some hand-in-hand,
Just what I'm going through, they can't understand.
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be, you'll be in the end.
And I love you, yes I love you, oh, how I love you.
Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I've always missed, with these eyes before,
Just what the truth is, I can't say any more
Cause I love you, yes I love you, oh, how I love you.
