It's a down-right rotten,
Low down dirty shame
Lord it's a down right rotten
low down dirty shame
The way that you treated me
Lord I know I'm not to blame
Jelly jelly jelly
Jelly stays on my mind
Jelly jelly jelly
Jelly stays on my mind
Jelly roll killed my pappy,
And drove my mama stone blind.
Jelly, Jelly -By Gregg Allman
I gets the bonus points and all your points, too! [guffaw-e]
Well it must be jelly
'cause jam don't shake like that!
Well, it must be jelly
'cause jam don't shake like that!
Well keep swingin' that jelly
'Cause I'm sure a swingin' cat!
The Way She Walks Blues, Jelly Roll Morton
'nuff said...gimme dem points back!!!
The Only WO'N!
I'm like a one-eyed cat,
peepin' in a sea-food store,
I'm like a one-eyed cat,
peepin' in a sea-food store;
I can look at you,
till you don't love me no more.
I believe you been doin' me wrong
and now I know,
I believe you been doin' me wrong
and now I know;
The more I work,
the faster my money goes.
I said Shake rattle and roll...etc
Bill Haley and the Comets, Shake Rattle and Roll
I think SilkMuse just beat us, Connie, so we'll have to start over ...that's a pretty nifty combo, there SM (jellicle cats)!
Nashville Cats
The Lovin' Spoonful
- peak Billboard position # 8 in 1967
- Words and Music by John B. Sebastian
CHORUS
Nashville Cats, play clean as country water
Nashville Cats, play wild as mountain dew
Nashville Cats, been playin' since they's babies
Nashville Cats, get work before they're two
Well, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two
Guitar pickers in Nashville
And they can pick more notes than the number of ants
On a Tennessee anthill
Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two
Guitar cases in Nashville
And any one that unpacks 'is guitar could play
Twice as better than I will
Yeah, I was just thirteen, you might say I was a
Musical proverbial knee-high
When I heard a couple new-sounding tunes on the tubes
And they blasted me sky-high
And the record man said every one is a Yellow Sun
Record from Nashville
And up North there ain't nobody buys them
And I said, "But I will"
And it was
CHORUS
Well, there's sixteen thousand eight hundred 'n' twenty one
Mothers from Nashville
All their friends play music, and they ain't uptight
If one of the kids will
Because it's custom made for any mother's son
To be a guitar picker in Nashville
And I sure am glad I got a chance to say a word about
The music and the mothers from Nashville
The Only WO'N!
High and dry in the long hot day
Lost and lonely in every way
Got the flats all around me sky up above
I need a little water of love
I've been too long lonely and my heart feels pain
Crying out for some soothing rain
I believe I have taken enough
I need a little water of love
Water of love deep in the ground
No water here to be found
Some day baby when the river runs free
It'll carry that water of love to me
There's a bird up in a tree sitting up high
Waiting for me to die
If I don't get some water soon
I'll be dead and gone in the afternoon
Once I had a woman I could call my own
Once I had a woman now my woman is gone
Once there was a river now there's a stone
You know it's evil when you're living alone
Water of Love - Dire Straits
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride
The River, Bruce Springsteen "The Boss"
Triple Play!
The Only WO'N!
OP Left a good job in the city,
Working for The Man every night and day,
And I never lost one minute of sleeping,
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been.
Big wheel keep on turning,
Proud Mary keep on burning,
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
"Proud Mary"
~~Creedence Clearwater Revival
Dere's an ol' man called de Mississippi;
Dat's de ol' man dat I'd like to be!
What does he care if de world's got troubles?
What does he care if de land ain't free?
Ol' Man River,
Dat Ol' Man River
He mus' know sumpin' But don't say nuthin',
He jes' keeps rollin',
He keeps on rollin' along.
He don't plant taters,
He don't plant cotton,
An' dem dat plants 'em
Is soon forgotten,
But Ol' Man River,
He jes' keeps rollin' along
You an' me, we sweat an' strain,
Body all achin' an' racked wid pain -
Tote dat barge!
Lif' dat bale!
Git a little drunk,
An' you land in jail...
Ah gits weary
An' sick of tryin';
Ah'm tired of livin'
An skeered of dyin',
But Ol' Man River,
He jes' keeps rollin' along
Ol' Man River, Jerome Kern, from Showboat
© Jerome Kern 1927
The Only WO'N!
OP Couldn't you use a song that actually had some English in it WO'N?
She reminds me of the breath of summer sun
That breaks the cool daylight when morning has begun
Shine on sunshine; paint my life of grey
Shine on sunshine; warm my life always.
Better yet by far the best I ever saw;
The rain that breaks your heart
Won't bend our love for sure
So shine on sunshine, spread your light my way;
Shine on sunshine, weave your spell always.
Oh I get weary but she only has to smile
And all my fear is soon forgotten for a while.
"Shine on Sunshine"
~~Rod Argent
