Hey hey mama said the way you move,
Gonna make you sweat gonna make you groove.
Oh oh child way you shake that thing,
Gonna make you burn gonna make you sting.
Hey hey baby when you walk that way
Watch your honey drip can't keep away.

I gotta roll can't stand still,
Got a flaming heart can't get my fill.
Eyes that shine burning red,
Dreams of you all through my head.

Hey baby,
Oh baby,
Pretty baby.

Hey baby,
Oh baby,
Pretty baby.

Didn't take too long before I found out,
What people mean by down and out.
Spent my money took my car,
Started tellin' her friends she gonna be a star.
I don't know but I been told,
A big legged woman ain't got no soul.

All I ask for when I pray,
Steady rollin' woman gonna come my way.
Need a woman gonna hold my hand,
And tell me no lies make me a happy man.

Hey lady you got the love I need.
Maybe more than enough.
Darling walk a while with me.
You've got so much.

Many times I loved,
Many times been bitten.
Many times I've gazed,
Along the open road.

Many times I've lied,
Many times I've listened.
Many times I've wondered,
How much there is to know.

Many dreams come true,
And some have silver linings.
I live for my dream,
And a pocketful of gold.

Mellow is the man,
Who knows what he's been missing.
Many many men,
Can't see the open road.

Many is a word,
That only leaves you guessing.
Guessing about a thing,
You really ought to know.

We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods,
Will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde singing and crying:
"Valhalla I am coming!"

On we sweep,
With thrashing oar.
Our only goal will be the western shore.

We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green,
Can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war,
We are your overlords.

On we sweep,
With thrashing oar.
Our only goal will be the western shore.

So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day despite all your losing.

Queen of Light took her bow,
And then she turned to go.
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom,
And walked the night alone.

Dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the morning light.
The dark Lord rides in force tonight,
And time will tell us all.

Throw down your plow and hoe,
Rest not to lock your homes.
Side by side we wait the might,
Of the darkest of them all.

I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley below.
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon,
Waiting for the eastern glow.

The apples of the valley hold,
The seas of happiness.
The ground is rich from tender care,
Repay do not forget.

Dance in the dark of night,
Ssing to the morning light.
The apples turn to brown and black,
The tyrant's face is red.

Oh the war is common cry,
Pick up you swords and fly.
The sky is filled with good and bad,
That mortals never know.

Oh well the night is long the beads of time pass slow.
Tired eyes on the sunrise,
Waiting for the eastern glow.

The pain of war cannot exceed,
The woe of aftermath.
The drums will shake the castle wall,
The ring wraiths ride in black.

Sing as you raise your bow,
Shoot straighter than before.
No comfort has the fire at night,
That lights the face so cold.

Dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the morning light.
The magic runes are writ in gold,
To bring the balance back.

At last the sun is shining,
The clouds of blue roll by.
With flames from the dragon of darkness,
The sunlight blinds his eyes.

I caught you smiling at me,
That's the way it should be,
Like a leaf is to a tree so fine.

Ah all the good times we had,
I sang love songs so glad,
Always smiling never sad so fine.

As we walk down a country lane,
I'll be singing a song,
Hear me calling your name.
Hear the whisper in the trees,
Telling mother nature bout you and me.

Well, if the sunshines so bright,
Or on our way it's darkest night,
The road we choose is always right so fine.

Ah can your love be so strong,
When so many loves go wrong,
Will our love go on and on and on and on and on and on.

As we walk down a country lane,
I'll be singing a song,
Hear me calling your name.
Hear the whisper in the trees,
Telling mother nature bout you and me.

My my, la de la, come on now it ain't too far,
Tell your friends all around the world,
Ain't no companion like a blue eyed merle.
Come on now well let me tell you,
What you're missing missing round them brick walls.

So, of one thing I am sure,
It's a friendship so pure,
Angels singing all around my door so fine.
Yeah, ain't but one thing to do
Spend my natural life with you,
You're the finest dog I knew so fine.

When you're old and your eyes are dim,
There ain't no old Shep gonna happen again.
We'll still go walking down country lanes,
I'll sing the same old songs,
Hear me call your name.

Measuring a summer's day,
I only finds it slips away to grey.
The hours they bring me pain.

Tangerine, tangerine,
Living reflection from a dream.
I was her love she was my queen,
And now a thousand years between.

Thinking how it used to be,
Does she still remember times like these?
To think of us again?
And I do.

Tangerine, tangerine,
Living reflection from a dream.
I was her love she was my queen,
And now a thousand years between.

Spent my days with a woman unkind,
Smoked my stuff and drank of my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start,
Going to California with an aching in my heart.
Someone told me there's a girl out there,
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.

Took my chances on a big jet plane,
Never let them tell you that they're all the same.
The sea was red and the sky was grey,
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake,
As the children of the sun began to awake.

Seems that the wrath of the gods,
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow.
I think I might be sinking.
Throw me a line if I reach it in time,
I'll meet you up there where the path.
Runs straight and high.

To find a queen without a king,
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings.
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn,
Tryin' to find a woman who's never never never been born.
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself it's not as hard hard hard as it seems.

Working seven to eleven every night,
It really makes my life a drag.
I don't think that's right.
I've really been the best of fools,
I did what I could.
Beause I love you baby.
But baby, since I've been loving you,
I'm about to lose my worried mind.

Everybody trying to tell me,
That you didn't mean me no good.
I've been trying let me tell you,
Let me tell you I really did the best I could.
I've been working seven to eleven every night,
It kinda makes my life a drag.
Lord you know it ain't right.
Since I've been loving you,
I'm about to lose my worried mind.

Said I've been crying,
My tears they fell like rain.
Don't you hear,
Don't you hear them falling?
Don't you hear,
Don't you hear them falling?

Do you remember mama when I knocked upon your door?
I said you had the nerve to tell me you didn't want me no more.
I open my front door hearing my back door slam.
You must have one of them new fangled,
New fangled back door man.

I've been working from seven to eleven every night,
It kinda makes my life a drag.
Since I've been loving you,
I'm about to lose my worried mind.

Oh oh oh oh oh,
You don't have to go.
You don't have to go.
You don't have to go.

Ay ay ay ay ay ay,
All those tears I cry.
All those tears I cry.
Baby please don't go.

When I read the letter you wrote me,
It made me mad mad mad.
When I read the words that it told me,
It made me sad sad sad.
But I still love you so,
I can't let you go.
I love you,
Baby I love you.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh,
Every breath I take.
Every move I make.
Baby please don't go.

Ay ay ay ay ay ay,
You hurt me to my soul.
You hurt me to my soul.
Darling please don't go.

When I read the letter you sent me,
It made me mad mad mad.
When I read the news that it broke,
It made me sad sad sad.
But I still love you so,
I can't let you go.
I love you,
Baby I love you.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh,
You don't have to go.
You don't have to go.
Baby please.

Hangman hangman hold it a little while,
Think I see my friends coming,
Riding many a mile.
Friends did you get a some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me my dear friends,
To keep me from the gallows pole?
What did you bring me,
To keep me from the gallows pole?

I couldn't get no silver,
I couldn't get no gold.
You know that we're too damn poor,
To keep you from the gallows pole.

Hangman hangman hold it a little while,
I think I see my brother coming,
Riding many a mile.
Brother did you get me some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me my brother,
To keep me from the gallows pole?

Brother I brought you some silver,
I brought a little gold.
I brought a little of everything,
To keep you from the gallows pole.
Yes I brought you to keep you from the gallows pole.

Hangman hangman turn your head awhile,
I think I see my sister coming,
Riding many a mile.
Sister I implore you,
Take him by the hand.
Take him to some shady bower,
Save me from the wrath of this man.
Please take him,
Save me from the wrath of this man.

Hangman hangman upon your face a smile,
Pray tell me that I'm free to ride,
Ride for many mile.

Yes you got a fine sister,
She warmed my blood from cold.
She warmed my blood to boiling hot,
To keep you from the gallows pole.
Your brother brought me silver,
Your sister warmed my soul,
But now I laugh and pull so hard,
And see you swinging on the gallows pole.

Drop down babe by the sea.
Drop down mama just dream of me.
Mama love me fool around all night long.
Well I'm made of braken gravy,
I should know right from wrong

See me coming slowly on by your door.
Ain't no stranger, I been this way before.
See me coming mama slowly on by your door.
I ain't no stranger I been this way before.

Put on your night shirt and your morning gown.
You know by night I'm gonna shake 'em on down.
Put on your night shirt,
Mama and your morning gown.
Well you know by night,
I'm surely gonna shake 'em on down.

Your custard pie ain't seen the like.
When you cut it mama save me a slice.
Your custard pie I declare ain't seen the like.
I like your custard pie.
When you cut it mama,
Mama please save me a slice.

Chew on a piece of your custard pie.
Chew on a piece of your custard pie.
Drop down.
Drop down.

Walking in the park just the other day baby,
What do you think I saw?
Crowds of people sitting on the grass with flowers in their hair said,
"Hey boy, do you wanna score?"
And you know how it is,
I really don't know what time it was,
So I asked them if I could stay a while.

I didn't notice but it had got very dark and I was really,
Really out of my mind.
Just then a policeman stepped up to me and asked us said please hey would we care,
To all get in line.
Get in line.
Well you know,
They asked us to stay for tea and have some fun,
He said that his friends would all drop by.

Why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see,
And baby baby baby do you like it?
There you sit, sitting spare like a book on a shelf rusting,
Not trying to fight it.
You really don't care if they're coming,
I know that it's all a state of mind.

If you go down in the streets today baby you better,
You better open your eyes.
Folk down there really don't care really don't care don't care really don't,
Which way the pressure lies.
So I've decided what I'm gonna do now.
So I'm packing my bags for the Misty Mountains,
Where the spirits go now,
Over the hills where the spirits fly.

I really don't know.

It's been a long time since I rock and rolled,
It's been a long time since I did the stroll.
Let me get it back let me get it back,
Let me get it back where I come from.
It's been a long time been a long time,
Been a long lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely time.

It's been a long time since the book of love,
I can't count the tears of a life with no love.
Carry me back carry me back,
Carry me back baby where I come from.
It's been a long time been a long time,
Been a long lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely time.

Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight,
Making vows that just can't work right.
Open your arms opens your arms,
Open your arms baby let my love come running in.
It's been a long time been a long time,
Been a long lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely time.

This is the springtime of my loving,
The second season am to know.
You are the sunlight in my growing,
So little warmth I felt before.
It isn't hard to feel me glowing,
I watched the fire that grew so low.

It is the summer of my smiles,
Flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.
Speak to me only with your eyes,
It is to you I give this tune.
It isn't hard to recognize,
These things are clear to all from time to time.

Talk talk,
I felt the coldness of my winter.
I never thought it would ever go.
I cursed the gloom that set upon us.
But I know that I love you so.
But I know that I love you so.

These are the seasons of emotion,
And like the winds they rise and fall.
This is the wonder of devotion,
I see the torch we all must hold.
This is the mystery of the quotient,
Upon us all a little rain must fall.

There's a lady who's sure,
All that glitters is gold,
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows,
If the stores are all closed,
With a word she can get what she came for.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

There's a sign on the wall,
But she wants to be sure,
Because you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook,
There's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
It makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I get,
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen,
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
It makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon,
If we all call the tune,
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn,
For those who stand long,
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow,
Don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes there are two paths you can go by,
But in the long run,
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go,
In case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him.
Dear lady can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know,
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road,
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know,
Who shines white light and wants to show.
How everything still turns to gold,
And if you listen very hard,
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all.
To be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
