She got to take sick and die one of these days
She got to take sick and die oh! one of these days
All the medicine I can buy, and all the doctors she can hire
She got to take sick and die one of these days

When she's dead I'm gonna bury her very deep
When she's dead I'm gonna bury her very deep
I'm gonna bury her very deep, rubies and diamonds round her feet
She got to take sick and die one of these days


Diamonds At Her Feet

One of these nights
One of these crazy old nights
We're gonna find out
Pretty mama
What turns on your lights
The full moon is calling
The fever is high
And the wicked wind whispers
And moans

John Smith and Pocahontas
had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him she cried
Daddy, oh, don't you dare!
He gives me *fever* with his kisses,
fever when he holds me tight,
Fever - I'm his missus,
Daddy won't you treat him right?"

Fever

[spoken]
My heart's sad and I am all forlorn, my man's treating me mean
I regret the day that I was born and that man of mine I've ever seen
Happiness, it never lasts a day, my heart is almost breaking while I say...

A good man is hard to find,
you always get the other kind
Just when you think that he is your pal,
you look for him and find him fooling 'round some other gal
Then you rave, you even crave
to see him laying in his grave
So, if your man is nice, take my advice
and hug him in the morning, kiss him ev'ry night,
give him plenty lovin', treat him right
For a good man nowadays is hard to find.


A Good Man Is Hard To Find

The people of the land took Jesus by the hand,
They followed Him far and wide;
"I come not to bring you peace, but a sword",
So they killed Jesus Christ on the sly.
He went to the sick, he went to the poor;
And he went to the hungry and the lame;
Said that the poor would one day win this world,
And so they laid Jesus Christ in His grave.

Woody Guthrie

Been travelling far and wide
Wondering who's going to be my guide

Living in a fantasy but it's way too far
But this kind of loneliness is way too hard
I've been wandering, feeling all alone
I lost my direction and I lost my home...Well

See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle
Just remember, darling all the while
You belong to me

See the market place in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me

I'll be so lonesome without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
And blue

Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me.

"Down at the market place in old Algiers.
Fellow with a long face full of tears.
He used to have a dollar all go up in smoke.
One toke hoona, spoona coke, I'm broke."

I looked to the stars, tried all of the bars.
And I've nearly gone up in smoke.
Now my hand's on the wheel, I've something that's real,
And I feel like I'm goin' home.

And in the shade of an oak down by the river,
Sit an old man an' a boy,
Settin' sail, spinnin' tales an' fishin' for whales,
With a lady they both enjoy.
Well, it's the same damn tune, it's the man in the moon.
It's the way that I feel about you.
And with no place to hide, I looked in your eyes,
And I found myself in you.

Willie Nelson (yee-hah!)
