Jesus Met The Woman At The Well
| Muddy
Water (J. Bundrick) |
Mary, grab the baby, the
river's rising Muddy water taking back the land The old-frame house, she can't take-a one more beating Ain't no use to stay and make a stand Well the morning light shows water in the valley Daddy's grave just went below the line Things to say, you just can't take em with ya This flood will swallow all you've left behind Won't be back to start all over Cause what I felt before is gone Mary, take the child, the river's rising Muddy water taking back my home The road is gone, there's just one way to leave here Turn my back on what I've left below Shifting land, broken farms around me Muddy water's changing all I know It's hard to say just what I'm losing Ain't never felt so all alone Mary, take the child, the river's rising Muddy water taking back my home Won't be back to start all over Cause what I felt before is gone Mary, take the child, the river's rising Muddy water's changing all I know Muddy water's changing all I know Lord, this muddy water is taking back my home |
| I'm
Gonna Kill That Woman (J.L. Hooker) |
Yeah, my baby left me this
morning And I don't care now, I don't care what the people say Yeah, I did everything that I could, everything I could, Lord knows I did everything I could I tried to satisfy her worried mind, that's what I did You know she was nothing but trouble, trouble She keep me worried all the time God knows her movements are killing me Yeah, my baby stayed out all night long, all night long She keep me worried all the time Yeah, I lay down last night I was thinking Must I kill that woman? Must I kill that woman? Oh Lord I get down on my knees They tell me God forgivin' everything you do But I don't care what the people say I'm gonna kill that woman, I'm gonna kill that woman, God knows I'm gonna get down on my knees |
| Sleeping
Analeah (Newbury, Folger) |
Yesterday the sun was
shining but you're finding the sun it Don't shine all the time A winter day suddenly came your way And you ran into your mind Sleeping Analeah, Weeping Analeah Do you think you're ready for me? Oh and yesterday is gone forever and ever, never To be again You looked for the sunshine, that brought warmth to your mind But find only rain Sleeping Analeah, Weeping Analeah No, you're not ready for me But when yesterday becomes a memory, a memory That we uncovered in time If you still remember that cold September I reigned in your mind Sleeping Analeah, Weeping Analeah Then you'd be ready for me |
| Long
Black Veil (D. Del, M. Wilkins) |
She walks these hills in a
long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me Ten years ago, on a cold dark night Someone was killed 'neath the Town Hall light There were few at the scene, but they all agreed That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me The judge he said: Son, what is your alibi If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die But I spoke not a word though it meant my life For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife Now the scaffold is high and eternity is near She stood in the crowd but shed not a tear But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan In a long black veil she cries on my bones |
| Hey
Joe (W. Roberts) |
Hey Joe, where you going
with that gun in your hand? Hey Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand? I'm gonna shoot my baby, I caught her messin round with another man Hey Joe, I heard you shot your baby down Hey Joe, I heard you shot your baby down Yes I did I shot her, I went and put her in the ground Hey Joe, where you gonna run to now? Hey Joe, where you gonna run to now? I'm heading way down South where I can be free I'm heading Mexico way, no hangman's about to put a leash around me |
| The
Singer (Cash, Daniels) |
As I walk these narrow
streets Where a million passin feet have trod before me With my guitar in my hand Suddenly I realize nobody knows me Where yesterday the multitude Screamed and cried my name out for a song Today the streets are empty And the crowds have all gone home I pass a million houses But there is no place that I belong All I knew to give you Was song after song after song All the truths I tried to tell you Were as distant to you as the moon Born 200 years too late And 200 years too soon I'm a child of this age Locked into the pages of your book And when I am but dust and clay And all the children stop to take a look Will they marvel at the miracles I did perform And the heights I did aspire Or will they tear out the pages of the book To light a fire With the rain on my face There is no place that I belong Did you forget this fucking singer so soon? And did you forget my song? |
| All
Tomorrow's Parties (L. Reed) |
And what costume shall the
poor girl wear To all tomorrow's parties A hand-me-down dress from who knows where To all tomorrow's parties And where will she go and what shall she do When midnight comes around She'll turn once more to Sunday's gown And cry behind the door And what costume shall the poor girl wear To all tomorrow's parties Why silks and plumes of yesterday's gowns To all tomorrow's parties And what shall she do with Thursday's rags When Monday comes around She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown And cry behind the door And what costume shall the poor girl wear To all tomorrow's parties For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown For whom none will go mourning A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown Of rags and silks, a costume Fit for one who sits and cries For all tomorrow's parties |

The Time I Get To Phoenix (J. Webb) |
By the time I get to
Phoenix, she'll be rising And she'll find that note that I left hanging on the door And she'll laugh when she reads the part That says: "I'm leaving" Cause I've left that girl so many times before And by the time I get to Albuquerque, she'll be working And she'll take off time just to give me a call And she'll hear that phone keep right on ringing and ringing On the wall, yeah oh, that's all And by the time I make Oklahoma, she'll be sleeping She'll turn softly in her sleep and call my name out low And then she'll cry just to think that I'd really leave her, I left her But time after time after time I tried to tell her so But she just didn't know That I would really go That I would really go |
| The
Hammer Song (A. Harvey) |
Oh please don't send me out Said the man with the hammer, hammering the anvil I been walking on a road of rocks And I keep on hammering, keep on hammering, keep on hammering, Hammering the anvil Don't let the sun go down Said the man with the fire, firing the furnace I been buried in the snow And I keep on firing, keep on firing, keep on firing, Firing the furnace Oh don't talk to me Said the man with the chisel, chiseling the surface I been sleeping far too long And I keep on chiseling, keep on chiseling, keep on chiseling, Chiseling the surface I don't know what you mean Said the man with the shovel, shoveling the ashes I been digging in the frozen ground And I keep on shoveling, keep on shoveling, keep on shoveling, Shoveling the ashes Shoveling the ashes Chiseling the surface Firing the furnace Hammering the anvil |
| Something's
Gotten Hold Of My Heart (Greenaway, Cooke) |
Something's gotten hold of
my heart Keeping my soul and my senses apart Something's gotten into my life Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife Turning me up and turning me down Making me smile and making me frown In a world that was small I once lived in a time there was peace with no trouble at all But then you came my way And a feeling unknown shook my heart, made me want you to stay All of my nights and all of my days I gotta tell you now Something's gotten hold of my hand Dragging my soul to a beautiful land Something has invaded my nights Painting my sleep with a colour so bright Changing the grey and changing the blue Scarlet for me and scarlet for you I've got to know if this is the real thing I've got to know what's making my heart sing You smile and I am lost for a lifetime Each minute spent with you is the right time Every hour, every day You touch me and my mind goes astray |
| Jesus
Met The Woman At The Well (Traditional, Arr. The Alabama Singers) |
Jesus met the woman at the
well Jesus met the woman at the well And he told her, everything that she'd done, that she'd done And he said, woman, look-a here woman, Tell me where is your husband? She said whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I don't have one He said, woman, look-a here woman, They tell me you have five husbands And that man you have now sure ain't one She went running, crying, God help me She said whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, you must be the prophet Because you told me everything that I've done |
| The
Carnival Is Over (T. Springfield, F. Farian) |
Say goodbye, my one true
lover And we'll steal a lover's song How it breaks my heart to leave you Now the carnival has gone Oh my love, the dawn is breaking And my tears are falling rain For the carnival is over We may never meet again Like a drum my heart was beating And your kiss was sweet as wine But the joys of love are fleeting For Pierrot and Columbine Now the cloak of night is falling This will be our last goodbye Though the carnival is over I will love you till I die |
| Running
Scared (Orbison, Melson) |
Just running scared, each
place we go So afraid, that he might show Yeah, running scared, what would I do If he came back and wanted you? Just running scared, feeling low Running scared that you love him so Just running scared, afraid to lose If he came back, which one would you choose? And then all at once, he was standing there So sure of himself, his head in the air While my heart was breaking, which one would it be? Then you turned round and walked right out on me |
