1. _ Only a Hobo
(Bob Dylan)
As I was out walking on the corner one day
I spied an old hobo, in the doorway he lay
His face was all covered in the cold sidewalk floor
I guess he'd been there for a whole night or more
He was only a hobo, but one more is gone
Leaving nobody to carry it on
Leaving nobody to sing his sad song
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
A blanket of newspaper covered his head
The step was his pillow
The street was his bed
One look at his face
showed the hard road he'd come
and a fistful of money
showed the coins that he'd bummed
He was only a hobo, but one more is gone
Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin' nobody to carry it on
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
Does it take much of a man
to see a whole life go down
To look on the world
from a hole in the ground
Too late for your future
like a horse that's gone lame
To lie in the gutter
and die with no name
He was only a hobo, but one more is gone
Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin' nobody to carry it on
Only a hobo, but one more is gone

2. _ You're My Girl (I Don't Want to Discuss It)
(Cooper, Beatty, Shelby)
See your bag's packed and you're ready to go
There's just one thing I think that you all ought to know
You're my girl, you're my girl
I don't wanna discuss it woman
ain't no need to try
I don't wanna discuss it baby
come on baby try
You're my girl, listen baby, you're my girl
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna hear you say
I don't wanna even discuss it woman
I don't wanna hear what you say
'cause you know that
You're my girl, you're my girl
You're my girl, you're my girl, no no
I know that you've been running 'round
with another man in town
Tried to put you right woman
but you keep on putting me down
Listen to me now, you're my girl
You're my girl
You're my girl
get in there
I don't wanna talk about it woman
'cause I know you got another man
I don't wanna say another word
just get back where you're at
You got to tell me 'cause
You're my girl, come on baby
You're my girl, you're my girl oh-oh
You're my girl
You're my girl
You're my girl

3. _ Lady Day
(Rod Stewart)
North winds have made my face a little older
and my back is bent through trying too hard
My vest is torn so I make no perfect picture
to place upon your white-washed wall
I'd like to stay but you have not asked me
Still I don't really expect you to
Dusty boots would shame you now Lady Day
Are we really that far apart
I wish the world could see you now Lady Day
laughing down at your oldest friend
The one who shared just about all he had
in a one-sided love affair
I get scared when I remember too much
Wasted time I suppose you could say that
Strange it don't seem that way to me
But wait a minute
I don't even think you're listening
Just let me tell you how I really feel
I've seen the inside of your heart Lady Day
when you wanted to be shown the way
I loved you then as I love ya now girl

4. _ Gasoline Alley
(Rod Stewart, Ron Wood)
I think I know now what's making me sad
It's a yearnin' for my own back yard
I realize maybe I was wrong to leave
Better swallow up my silly country pride
Going home, running home
Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from
Going home, and I'm running home
down to Gasoline Alley where I was born
When the weather's better and the rails unfreeze
and the wind don't whistle 'round my knees
I'll put on my weddin' suit and catch the evening train
I'll be home before the milk's upon the door
Going home, running home
down to Gasoline Alley where I started from
Going home, and I'm running home
down to Gasoline Alley where I was born
But if anything should happen and my plans go wrong
Should I stray to the house on the hill
Let it be known that my intentions were good
I'd be singing in my alley if I could
And if I'm called away and it's my turn to go
Should the blood run cold in my veins
Just one favor I'll be asking of you
Don't bury me here, it's too cold
Take me back, carry me back
Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from
Take me back, won't you carry me home
Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from
Take me back, carry me back
Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from
Take me back, carry me back
Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from
Take me back, carry me back
Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from

5. _ Jo's Lament
(Rod Stewart)
I stayed away so long Jo
don't think that I could come back
You're doin' so well without me girl
you'd laugh if you'd know'd where I'm at
You knew me when it was all my world
Somehow it's all passed me by
But don't let on to my friends Jo dear
that things ain't turned out as planned
You bore my child then I left you aside
I don't expect you to forgive
But Jo I can say in a funny old way
I was sure that I had it made
I still possess a photograph
my memory to refresh
But fade it may Jo I can say
I was sure that I had it made
You bore my child then I left you aside
I don't expect you to forgive
But now I'm not so young and I'm so afraid
to sleep alone for the rest of my days

6. _ Cut Across Shorty
(Marijohn Wilkin, Wayne P. Walker)
Now a country boy named Shorty
and a city boy named Dan
had to prove who could run the fastest
to wed Miss Lucy's hand
Now Dan had all the money
and he also had the looks
But Shorty musta had that something boys
that can't be found in books
Chorus:
'Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across'
That's what Miss Lucy said
'Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across
You know it's you that I wanna wed'
Wait a minute
Now Dan had been in training
about a week before the race
He made up his mind old Shorty
would end in second place
You know Dan with his long legs flying
he left Shorty far behind
Shorty heard him holler out
Miss Lucy that you'll soon be mine
(Chorus)
But Shorty wasn't worried
There was a smile upon his face
'Cause old Lucy had fixed the race
And just like that old story
about the turtle and the hare, you know that thing
when Danny crossed over the finish line
he found Shorty waiting there
(Chorus)
It's you that I wanna wed, no no
And oh Lord it's you I wanna wed
It's you that I wanna wed

7. _ Country Comforts
(Bernie Taupin, Elton John)
Soon the pines will be falling everywhere
Village children always fighting for fair share
And the six-o-nine goes roarin' down the creek
As Parson Lee prepares his service for next week
I saw grandma yesterday down at the store
Well she's really lookin' fine for eighty-four
And she asked me if some time I'd fix the barn
Poor old girl, she needs a man down on the farm
Chorus:
And it's good old country comforts in my bones
Just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known
Just an old fashioned feeling in my bones
Country comforts and the road that's going home
Down at the mill they've got a new machine
Foreman says it cuts manpower by fifteen
'Oh, but that ain't natural' old man Grayson says
'cause he's a horse-drawn man until his dying days
(Chorus)

8. _ It's All Over Now
(Bobby and Shirley Womack)
Baby used to stay out all night long
She made me cry
You know she done me wrong
She held my eyes open and that's no lie
Tables turned and now it's her turn to cry
But then I used to love her but it's all over now
Yes it is
But then I used to love her but it's all over now
Listen
She used to run around with every single man in town
Spent all my money playing her fast game
She put me out, it was a pity how I cried
But the tables turned and now it's her turn to cry
Because I used to love her but it's all over now
Ain't no lie
because I used to love her but it's all over now
Listen
Well I used to wake the morning get my breakfast in bed
When I got worried she'd ease my aching head
But now she's here and there with every single man in town
But the tables turned and now it's her turn to cry
Because I used to love her but it's all over now
Yes it is
Because I used to love her but it's all over now
Listen to this one
Because I used to love her but it's all over now
But then I used to love her but it's all
now wait a minute
But then I used to love her but you know
but you know it's all over now
But then I used to love her but you know it's all over now

9. _ My Way of Giving
(Steve Marriott, Ron Lane)
I've been told it's just a matter of time
before you meet someone who opens your eyes
But time's on my side so nevertheless
I know the pain of too much happiness
Chorus:
It's all part of my way of giving
and I'm giving it all to you
More than love it's a way of living
and what more would you have me do
Although I'm not a guy that means to hurt
and if at times it seems our love won't work
I tell you honey, you must surely realize
See all confusion in my cloudy eyes
(Chorus)
Although I'm not a guy that means to hurt
and if at times it seems our love won't work
I tell you honey you must surely realize
See all confusion in my cloudy eyes
(Chorus)
