Walking
(Donovan Leitch)
Walking,
walking after you
I'm walking, walking after you
Walking, walking after you - ooh
Thinking, talking, walking
All my ways wit' you
Dreaming, dreaming over you
Dreaming, dreaming over you
Scheming, scheming what to do
Dreaming and a scheming
Spending all my dreams on you
Singing, singing for you
Moving and a going
Singing all my songs for you

Tap
Turns On The Water
(Cameron/Korner)
Peak
through the bathroom door
Did you ever - did you ever
See your sister in the raw
Did you ever - did you ever
Swear you could booze all night
Did you ever - did you ever
Sweatin' hard then you're turnin'
white
Did you ever - did you ever
They're wrong so you're cutting
out
Did you ever - did you ever
Back to the window and the war's
gone out
Yes you did - you know you did
Tap turns on the water, see the
waters flow
A corn makes a forest, watch the
forest grow
Everything's behind you,
everything's become
Come and ride a river, come and
find the sun
Now's the time to get up and do it
Don't blame it to the right
When there's so much to be done
Now's the time to forget that
you're through it
Grab time to do it right
'Cause the jubilee has come
Tap turns on the water, see the
waters flow
A corn makes a forest, watch the
forest grow
Tap turns on the water, see the
waters flow
Now's the time to get up and do
it
Now's the time to forget that
you're through it
A corn makes a forest, watch
the forest grow
Now's the time to get up and do
it
Now's the time to forget that
you're through it
Tap turns on the water, see
the waters flow
A corn makes a forest, watch the
forest grow
Tap turns on the water, see the
waters flow
A corn makes a forest, watch the
forest grow ....
Sixteen
Tons
(Merle
Travis)
Some
people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and
blood
Muscle and blood and skin and
bones
A mind that's weak and a back
that's strong
You load sixteen tons, and what do
you get?
Another day older and deeper in
debt
Saint Peter don't you call me
'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin' when the
sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked
to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number
nine coal
And the straw boss said
"Well, a-bless my soul"
You load sixteen tons, and what do
you get?
Another day older and deeper in
debt
Saint Peter don't you call me
'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
Hey hey hey hey ....
If you see me comin', better
step aside
A lotta men didn't, and a lotta
men died
One fist of iron, the other of
steel
If the right don't get you, then
the left one will
You load sixteen tons, and what do
you get?
Another day older and deeper in
debt
Saint Peter don't you call me
'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
originally
performed by Tennessee 'Ernie' Ford
(1955)
also by Don Harrison Band (1976)
Band
Played The Boogie
(Reedman/Jarratt)
The
high school hooker was once a good
looker
The teenage queen, now she wants a
gas cooker
The union-boss' busy buying odd
stocks
The army's outta work, sold the
countries on the rocks
Take it while it's there, don't
grieve when it's gone
The band played Boogie and the
people danced on
Super high, Superfly has gone
underground
The king bought a car, had to
trade in his crown
Andy Warhole made a movie about
Peter Pan
And Miss Liberation has found
herself a man
Take it while it's there, don't
grieve when it's gone
The band played Boogie and the
people danced on
The band played the Boogie and the
people danced on
Band played the Boogie, band
played the Boogie
Band played the Boogie, band
played the Boogie
The band played the Boogie and the
people danced on ....
