Lyrics

1. WHISKEY RIVER

Oh lay me down girl, 'cause I'm going
Like a river, overflowing
I hear someone who is crying
I don't know 'cause I am dying

See my father tell my mother
Tell my sister tell my brother
Get me out girl and I'll feel better
Bring me round with whisky glitter

Now I lie here I have fallen
Hear the sound of music calling
Mirror mirror I am seeing
Half a man but not believing

Oh, don't like believing


2. ROCKING MAN

Just like a river, well I keep rolling along
Just like a singer, well I keep singing a song
And like a hobo, well I just ramble my way
Across a night time, behind the milky way

So if you see a sign of a rocking man
Look at what your doin'

I keep a flying, until I see light of day
And they are standing, until the band starts to play
And where were rolling, well I see, know what you mean
I know the feeling, well it is kind of a dream

Oh and if you see a sign of a rocking man
Look at what your doin'

Oh oh yeah
Just like a hammer, well I just hammer a song
It's like a boulder, and I just tumble along
I never worry about the things that I plan
I'm not a preacher, I'm just a rocking man

Oh if you see a sign of a rocking man
Look at what your doin'


3. ROLLING HOME AGAIN

2, 3, 4, I'm going back
To find a place where I came from
And its hidden deep in my heart

There is a way
Shows you all where we came from
And its hidden deep in my heart

Oh well I can't wait a minute longer
My heart ain't gettin' stronger
It didn't deep inside me, me

There is a way
Think I've found another day
And its hidden deep in my heart

Yeah yeah whoo whoo do do etc. etc.

I can't wait a minute longer
My heart ain't gettin' stronger
Its hidden deep inside me, deep inside me

Yeah-ee-yeah

Oh I'm goin' back
I'm goin' back
Find a place where I came from
And I'm headin' here in my heart
I'm just rolling home again


4.MAKE ME HAPPY

Make me happy

Make me happy, and you do
Make me happy, and you do

Whoo whoo la de dahh etc. etc.

Feelin' empty, go to you
Time is lonely, oh yeah and you too

Whoo whoo la de dahh etc. etc.


5. HOT AS A DOCKER'S ARMPIT

Oh yeah
Going down to the town
I've gotta f-f-f-f-find where I've gone
Anyday anyway
I've gotta d-d-d-d-do it alone
Gotta go and I know
That I will never never leave her alone
She's a whore at her door
That I could never never never ignore

I don't know what you are,
Will you hold my hand
I don't know what you are,
Help me understand
You will understand

She's as hot as a dockers armpit
She's as hot as a dockers armpit
She's as hot as hey hey hey yeah!


6. DRUGSTORE WOMAN

Don't need no drugstore woman
No I don't need no drugstore girl
I don't need no drugstore woman
Oh every every every way I go
Oh day or night well it's alright
Hey hey yeah, oh yeah

Said I don't need no pirate queen
Well I don't want it, do you know what I mean?
Well every way I look, and every way I go
Every day I see her in the window
'cause I don't want, and I don't need
Hey hey yeah, oh yeah

Oh I don't need no drugstore woman
No I don't need no drugstore woman
Well I don't need what I don't see
Oh every every every way I go
Well day or night well it ain't right
Oh hey yeah, oh yeah
Like I say
Well I don't need no drugstore woman


7. BOTTLED

(Instrumental)


8. YOUNG IS A WORLD

Young is a world where I often go
To live alone I will everflow
I can be big, somebody says I'm a man
'til I met you and do you know what I am
People are strange everywhere I go
But you're not strange, I will let you know
I can be big, that is only to say
'til I met you life is only a day
Only a day, only a day

People are strange everywhere I go
But you're not strange, I will let you know
I can be small but that is only to say
'til I met you and life is only a day
Only a day, only a day


9. STRANDED

Stranded! stranded like a lily on a pond
Stranded!
Stranded and I think that I've gone wrong
Stranded! won't somebody help me get away
Stranded! there between the time of night and day

I'm stranded every way I look
I'm stranded on a river
Stranded like a honeysuckle gypsy to a giver
Stranded like a damsel locked up in a tower
Stranded like a minute stranded in the hour

Stranded! every every every way I go
Stranded! stranded and I think you ought to know
Stranded! stranded I've got problems on my mind
Stranded! stranded and I think you're not my kind
Oh no, you're not my kind!

Stranded! stranded every every way I go
Stranded! stranded and I think you ought to know
Stranded! stranded like a fish upon a beach
Stranded! stranded and I think it's out of reach

Well I'm stranded every where I look
I'm stranded in a river
Stranded like a honeysuckle gypsy to a giver
Stranded if you wanna be stranded if you don't
Stranded like a martian landing in a font
Yeah yeah!
