Jackdaw.
(Werth, Gemmell)
Jackdaw... keep away from my back door
Jackdaw, don't build your nest round here no more
I think it's time that you flew
Nothin' left for you.
Stole my money
Every cent
Seems that I've got to
Rent a tent
You've stolen half my life
Even stole my wife.
You're Not Smiling.
(Werth, Gemmell)
Da da da da daa daa
Da da da da daa daa.
You're not smiling
I've come a long way just to see you smiling
You're not laughin'
I've come a long long way just to hear you laughing.
I guess that things have changed since I've been gone
Because something, somehow, somewhere has gone wrong.
Da da da da daa daa
Da da da da daa daa.
You're not lovin'
I've come a long way just to feel your loving
You're not near me
I've come a long long way just to feel you near me
I guess that things have changed since I've been gone
Because something, somehow, somewhere has gone wrong.
I cannot really claim to understand,
Cause baby there is something that I lack,
Or maybe there's been something underhand,
Goin' on behing my back.
You really make me feel so insecure
I feel like packin' up and goin' back
Or maybe we should try a natural cure
Come on babe let's hit the sack.
Da da da da daa daa
Da da da da daa daa.
Now you're lyin'
I've not come all this way to hear you lyin'
Now you're cryin'
I've not come all this way to see you cryin'
I guess that things have changed since I've been gone
Because something, somehow, somewhere has gone wrong.
Da da da da daa daa
Da da da da daa daa.
I Had a Dream.
(Werth, Williams)
Bright the light through my window pane
Shield my eyes from the beam
Keep the day from my aching brain
I had a Dream.
Walked me down to the town last night
Sat me down by the stream
As I dozed in the fading light
I had a Dream.
Saw a man and I saw you there
Swear you looked like a Queen
In your eyes as he touched your hair
You had a Dream
I had a Dream
I had a Dream.
Who could care, who would sympathise
Should someone come in between
It could be that I'll realise
I had a Dream.
Would I dare ask the truth of you
If t'were real what I've seen
Were you there? If I only knew
That I had a Dream
I had a Dream
I had a Dream.
Raviolé.
(Werth)
Intrumental.
Nancy.
(Werth, Williams)
Nancy was a farmer's daughter everything her Daddy taught her honestly, honestly
And even though her Pa was poor he always kept within the law and so did she, so did she.
Because there's no shame in workin' in the rain
He's using every day to shape his daughter's character
For someone's son to marry her.
On the day her Momma died he promised to protect the pride of family, family
And as he left the hospital he vowed if it was possible they'd both be free, both be free.
Then came to court her, Clancy Clearwater
Rich gifts he bought her from them big stores
And her old man fancied that she's wed Clancy
A dude ranch owner from Arizona
A real fine dancer, slicked up romancer
He got this answer from his fair Nancy
No no no, I won't go, No no no, I won't go.
Clancy came complaingin to the farmer did his brain in, couldn't understand, understand
Rich and pretty looking she'd not even do the cooking if she gave her hand, gave her hand.
She'd be wearing Satin, reading literature in Latin, life'd not be hard, not be hard
Seems that were the trouble she preferred to tend the stubble in her own backyard, own backyard.
Eye to Eye.
(Werth, Williams)
When the old man
Was talking to the young man
You know the young man
He didn't give a damn.
When the young man
Was talking to the old man
You know the old man
He wouldn't understand.
Though each appear to be sure he was right
The seeds of doubt have been planted inside
So they argued on into the night
Too proud and stubborn to see eye to eye.
There were two men
Talking when the day came
When the day came
Neither remained again.
Both agreed that the motives were right
They couldn't see other's methods applied
So they argued on into the night
Too proud and stubborn to see eye to eye.
When the old man
Was talking to the young man
You know the young man
He didn't give a damn.
When the young man
Was talking to the old man
You know the old man
He wouldn't understand.
Though each appear to be sure he was right
The seeds of doubt have been planted inside
So they argued on into the night
Too proud and stubborn to see eye to eye.
I Put a Spell on You.
(J. Hawkins)
I put a spell on you because you're mine
You'd better stop the things that you're doin'
I said : 'Watch out, I ain't lying'.
Yeah, I ain't gonna take none of your foolin' around
I ain't gonna take none of your puttin' me down
I put a spell on you because you're mine, alright.
I put a spell on you because you're mine
You'd better stop the things that you're doin'
I said : 'Watch out, I ain't lying'.
Yeah, I ain't gonna take none of your foolin' around
I ain't gonna take none of your puttin' me down
I put a spell on you because you're mine, oh.
The House on the Hill.
(Werth, Williams)
I've been told about the house on the hill
So high and old, the house on the hill
Say that there's a King Rat who wears a judge's black cap
And I wouldn't go near the house on the hill.
The story goes 'bout the house on the hill
That when it snows around the house on the hill
The rat becomes a maiden, her soul endowed by Satan
And I wouldn't go near the house on the hill.
As is her sin, yeah, in the house on the hill
She lures travellers into the house on the hill
Enchants them with her charms then she falls on and devours them
And I wouldn't go near the house on the hill.
Single:
Indian Summer.
(Werth, Williams)
Friends say to take it easy
I won't and they wonder why
I can't give up thaht easy
Lay me down and die
Sat where it's cool and shady
Could age take the taste away
I met a widow lady
Couldn't waste a day.
That was my Indian Summer
That was my Indian Summer.
She said she'd lost her husband
I told her I'd lost my wife
Those years together had been the best of my whole life.
Friends say we ought to marry
I smile and I shake my head
One wife will make you happy
Two will make you dead.
