1. SWEET LITTLE ROCK 'N' ROLLER

Nineteen years old and as sweet as she could be
All dressed up like a downtown Christmas tree
Dancin' and hummin' a rock 'n' roll melody
She's the daughter of a well respected man
Who taught her how to jerk and understand
Then she became a rock 'n' roll music fan

Sweet little rock 'n' roller, sweet little rock 'n' roller
Her daddy doesn't have to scold her
Her partner can't hardly hold her
Because she never gets any older
Sweet little rock 'n' roller

Shoulda seen her eyes when the band began to play
And the famous singer sang and bowed away
When the stars were gone she screamed and yelled hurray
Ten thousand eyes were watchin' them leave the floor
Five thousand tongues are screaming out "More" and "More"
About fifteen hundred waiting outside the door

Sweet little rock 'n' roller, sweet little rock 'n' roller
Her daddy doesn't have to scold her
Her partner can't hardly hold her
Because she never gets any older
Sweet little rock 'n' roller

3. FAREWELL

Fare thee well my brother
Please don't stand in my way
I'm going down to that dirty town
No matter what you say
You fooled me and you ruled me
And you played in every part
I gotta go, it's no use me stayin' home

Goodbye my sister
Please don't let me see you cry
Gonna be a star some day
No matter what they say
And when you hear the crowds
All callin' and shouting out my name
Until then, my little friend, i'll be unsatisfied

So long sweet Melinda
Don't forget that you're my girl
Gonna dress you fine
And if you give me time
Make you proud like I said I would
And if the Champs Elysee's no fallacy
If I find the world looks like it should
Candy cars, movie stars, street bars
Then I could stay a while

Well I love you
Shall I write or phone from Paris or Rome
And i'll miss you all
Even tho' you're tryin' to hold me back

Farewell all my family
Don't you know I mean you so well
Please appreciate I must make a break
Just to see what I can do
The stage is set so understand
I can't hide in the wings no more
I've got to go now it's no use me staying home

All I can say is I love you
Shall I write or phone from Paris or Rome
And I think I'm always gonna miss you
And I love you always
I think I'm always gonna miss ya
Even tho' you're tryin' to hold me back

And I love you and I miss you
If you don't get no mail you know I'm in jail
But I love you and I miss you


4. SAILOR

You ain't gonna get me honey no way
Tearing down the highway in the pouring rain
Escaping from my wedding day
I heard the bells ringing in the local church
The ceremony's nearly under way
Telegrams came and the cheap champagne
Was driving everybody out of their brains
But I convinced my best friends I lost my nerve
And I pleaded I was being framed

"Sailor show me which way to go"
I screamed out loud
"Sailor show me which way to go"

Such a deadly silence
Due to my defiance
The wedding ground to a halt
Said I changed my mind
Ain't no use in your trying
So her brother punched me in the throat
Her mother got hysterical
The bitch was cynical
Father's in the corner drunk
Picking myself off the floor
I ran to the door
Damned if I was skippin' on my way

"Sailor show me which way to go"
You should have heard the noise
Said "Sailor show me which way to go"

So keep clean girlie
Find a man that's truly
Gonna love you from dusk till dawn
Keep your front door key
Don't give him up for me
'Cause tomorrow I may be gone
You see, your wouldbe keepers
( ) all night creepin'
Nobody gonna change in there
Who thinks a marriage life should be like a dog's life
So let's renew it when the year runs out

Sailor show me which way to go
Sailor show me which way to go

She had a belly full of lust but she had no bust


5. BRING IT ON HOME TO ME / YOU SEND ME

Well if you ever want to come home to me
I'll still be here waiting

If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Baby bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me

I know I laughed when you left
But now I know that I only hurt myself
Honey bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me
Let me tell you all about it

I'll give you tulips and money too
That ain't all, that ain't all I'd do for you
If you'll bring it to me, bring you're sweet loving
Bring it on home to me

You know i'll always be your slave
Until I'm buried, buried in my grave
Oh honey bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me

I tried to treat you right
But you stayed out, stayed out late at night
But I forgive you
Bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me

Just remember this one thing darlin' that
You, you, you send me, you know this one
You, you know darlin' you send me
And I know that you, you thrill me
Honest you do, honest you do, honest you do
And I wanna tell you one thing that

And I know this one thing that
You send me honest you do, honest you do
Honest you do, let me tell you
When I get home you're always there for me
And I know that you're gonna send me
Honest you do, honest you do, honest you do
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Well you thrill me
Darlin' you're always gonna send me


6. LET ME BE YOUR CAR

I may not seem your ideal
When you look into my eyes
I don't smoke, I don't tell jokes
I'm not the custom made size
But baby let me take you
Out on the highway for awhile
I'll show you where the man in me
Is when he doesn't hide
He's cruisin' in the fast lane
Stuck behind the wheel
Jekyll and Hyde going on inside
When I'm your automobile

And let me be your car for awhile child
Shift me into gear and i'll be there
Fill me up with five star gasoline
I'll be your car i'll take you anywhere

Don't you know I can't dance
I don't dig it, I can't see it at all
You say I'm just a specimen
And baby I can crawl
My physique just don't look
The way the physiques really should
But then again i've got an engine
Underneath my hood
When I'm cutting up the road
With a sports car on my tail
Frankenstein's inside my mind
And the wind's inside my sails


7. (YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE) A NATURAL MAN

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
But when I knew I had to face another long, long day
Girl I used to feel so tired

Before the day I met you
Life had been so unkind
But you're the key to my peace of mind
'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel
You made me feel like a natural man

When my soul was in the lost and found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know, I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me to name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
But if I make you happy I don't need to do more
'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel
You made me feel like a natural man

Oo baby, baby look what you have done to me
Can't you see that you made me feel so good inside
Don't you know that I just want to be
Close to you, you made me feel so alive
'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel
You made me feel like a natural man

Baby I ain't doubtful of what I'm living for
But if I make you happy I don't need to do more
'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel
Well you made me feel like a natural man


8. DIXIE TOOT

Sitting on my back door wondering which way to go
The sun's shining on my back and it hurts (child)
The FM station plays another bad 45
And it's been so long since I had a good time
It's been so long since I had a good time

Never wrecked my head on a bandstand
In the trombone or clarinet line
When I come in heat on Bourbon Street for Mardi Gras
When those for a cryin' just stay behind in the bar
'Cause it's been so long since I had a good time
Yeah it's been so long since I had a good time

I'm gonna lose control of my powers
I might even lose my trousers
Smash some glass, act like trash if I want
Wear a skirt be a flirt if I want
'Cause it's been so long since I had a good time
This prodigal man from Dixieland needs a good time
Right now, show me a good time right now

You better take it while you can
You gotta get it while you can

And when the Man Upstairs he calls me
He'll say "It's your turn son to come"
Don't play the blues down in old Toulouse for me
Let sleighbells ring and children sing in the street
And tell all of my friends that I had a good time
Open up the sky won't you ride me high
Let's have a good time
And if I'm late at heaven's gate blame a good time
And when the angels sing I will join in
Let's have a good time really

I took my luck, I didn't give a fuck, I had a good time
Tell all my friends only all my best to have a good time
Goodbye


9. HARD ROAD

My mama 'n' papa told me son that you're just a fool
When i told 'em i was leaving home i was leaving school
So then in a couple of hours i found myself
Heading down that southbound road
With everything i owned on my back
I carried such a heavy load

And it's a hard, hard road that i travel
It's a hard, hard road that i travel
It's a hard, hard road that i travel down the line
And it's a hard, hard road down the line

Well i wanna tell ya friends
That it's good to be a traveling man
'Cause i'm doing what i want to
Living just the best that i can
Nobody putting rings around my neck
To put me in a pigeon hole
I've got my dog and my radio
To listen to some rock 'n' roll

And it's a hard, hard road that i travel
It's a hard, hard road that i travel
It's a hard, hard road that i travel down the line
And it's a hard, hard road down the line


10. I'VE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO HER FACE (INSTRUMENTAL)

(Instrumental)


11. GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY

If you're traveling in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to the one who lives there
She was once a true love of mine

And if you're goin' when the snowflakes storm
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see for me she has a coat so warm
To keep her from the howling wind

Would you see for me that her hair's hanging long
That it rolls and flows all down her breasts
See for me that her hair's hanging long
'Cause that's the way I remember her best

But I'm a-wondering if she remembers me at all
Many times i've often prayed
In the darkness of my night
In the brightness of my day
So if you're traveling in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to the one who lives there
'Cause she was once, she was once a true love of mine

And she'll always be a true love of mine
And I never, never, never, never give her up


12. MINE FOR ME

In a couple of hours I'll be drivin' home to the one I love
So save your breath sweet painted lady it won't be me
Over the mountain and under the sea
They'll never be another one like mine for me

It was only an hour or so ago that I sang my song
Persuaded painted ladies that I could say I'd been free
Over the mountain and under the sea
They'll never be another one like mine for me

Mine is always, mine is grand
Don't you know that the woman that love me she understands
And can't you see that it's mine for me
And in a couple of hours I'll be driving home to the one I love
So save your breath sweet painted lady it won't be me
Over the mountain and under the sea
They'll never be another one like mine for me
You're for me

Mine is always, mine is grand
Don't you know that the woman that love me she understands
And can't you see that it's mine for me
They'll never be another one like mine for me
They'll never be another one like mine for me

They'll never be another one like you for me
