 Flyin' Sho » Lyrics [+ Cuir +] |
1. _ Loretta
By townes van zandt
Oh loretta she's a barroom girl
Wears them sevens on her sleeve
Dances like a diamond shines
Tell me lies i love to believe
Her age is always 22
Her laughing eyes a hazel hue
Spends my money like water falls
Loves me like i want her to
Oh, loretta, won't you say to me
Darling, put your guitar on
Have a little shot of booze
Play a blue a and wailing song
My guitar rings a melody
My guitar sings, loretta's fine
Long and lazy, blonde and free
And i can have her any time
Sweetest at the break of day
Preattiest in the setting sun
She don't cry when i can't stay
'least not till she's all alone
Loretta, i won't be gone long
Keep your dancing slippers on
Keep me on your mind a while
I'll be back, babe, to make you smile

2. _ Brother Flower
By townes van zandt
Brother flower, are you listenin'?
Let me sing a song for you
Brother flower, petals glistenin',
In the bashful mornings dew
Brother flower, when the sun shines
And the dew has flown away
If you don't mind weak and wrong rhymes
Brother flower, may i stay?
Brother flower, you ain't lonely
For you've always been alone
But i haven't been so lucky
I had love and now it's gone
I have arms to hold another
Never to hold her again
I have life to give lover
You have life to give the wind
Brother flower, when the snow flies
And you lay your beauty down
Brother flower, are you sleepin'
There upon the cold, cold ground
Brother flower, please awaken
Show the sky your face of blue
Let me know i ain't forsaken
Seems like all i have is you

4. _ Snake Song
By townes van zandt
You can't hold me
I'm too slippery
I do no sleepin'
I get lonely
You can touch me
If you want to
I got poison
I just might bite you
Lie in circles
On the sunlight
Shine like diamonds
On a dark night
Ain't no mercy
In my smilin'
Only fangs and
Sweet beguiling
Future, he don't
Try to find me
Skin i been through
Dies behind me
Solid hollow
Wrapped in hatred
Not a drop of
Venom wasted
You can slip in
Try to find me
Hold your breath and
Flat deny me
It makes no difference
To my thinkin'
I'll be here when
You start sinkin'.

5. _ Pueblo Waltz
By townes van zandt
Sunrise comes and i don't know why
Living loves and the day does fly
Soon the moon and baby and i
Will be lyin' side by side
How many of your skies are blue?
How much of your love is true?
Where to get them eyes of green?
I'm knowin' you know just what i mean
If i have to go i won't be long
Maybe we'll move to tennessee
Leave these texas blues behind
See susanna and guy
Well, i'm in this cold room all alone
I guess i'll try the telephone
It'll be busy or she won't be home
Tomorrow is another day
Sunrise comes and i don't know why
Living loves and the day does fly
Soon the moon and baby and i
Will be lyin' side by side

6. _ No Place To Fall
By townes van zandt
If i had no place to fall
And i needed to
Could i count on you
To lay me down?
I'd never tell you no lies
I don't believe it's wise
You got pretty eyes
Won't you spin me 'round
I ain't much of a lover it's true
I'm here then i'm gone
And i'm forever blue
But i'm sure wanting you
Skies full of silver and gold
Try to hide the sun
But it can't be done
Least not for long
And if we help each other grow
While the light of day
Smiles down our way
Then we can't go wrong
Time, she's a fast old train
She's here then she's gone
And she won't come again
Won't you take my hand
If i had no place to fall
And i needed to
Could i count on you
To lay me down?

7. _ Flyin' Shoes
By townes van zandt
Days full of rain
Skys comin' down again
I get so tired
Of these same old blues
Same old song
Baby, it won't be long
'fore i be tyin' on
My flyin' shoes
Flyin' shoes
Till i be tyin' on
My flyin' shoes
Spring only sighed
Summer had to be satisfied
Fall is a feelin' that i just can't lose.
I'd like to stay
Maybe watch a winter day
Turn the green water
To white and blue
Flyin' shoes
Flyin' shoes
Till i be tyin' on
My flyin' shoes
The mountain moon
Forever sets too soon
Bein' alone is all the hills can do
Alone and then
Her silver sails again
And they will follow
In their flyin' shoes
Flyin' shoes
They will follow in their
Flyin' shoes
Days full of rain
Skys comin' down again
I get so tired
Of the same old blues
Same old song
Baby, it won't be long
Till i be tyin' on
My flyin' shoes
Flyin' shoes
Till i be tyin' on
My flyin' shoes

8. _ Rex's Blues
By townes van zandt
Ride the blue wind high and free
She'll lead you down through misery
Leave you low, come time to go
Alone and low as low can be
If i had a nickel i'd find a game
If i won a dollar i'd make it rain
If it rained an ocean i'd drink it dry
And lay me down dissatisfied
Legs to walk and thoughts to fly
Eyes to laugh and lips to cry
A restless tongue to classify
All born to grow and grown to die
So tell my baby i said so long
Tell my mother i did no wrong
Tell my brother to watch his own
And tell my friends to mourn me none
I'm chained upon the face of time
Feelin' full of foolish rhyme
There ain't no dark till something shines
I'm bound to leave this dark behind
Ride the blue wind high and free
She'll lead you down through misery
Leave you low, come time to go
Alone and low as low can be

9. _ When She Don't Need Me
By townes van zandt
When she don't need me
It makes me crazy
She say rest easy
And it makes me lazy
But when she please me
She please me all night long
My friends are leavin'
She say don't worry
They're only leavin'
There is no parting
You will be lonely
I will be here with you
On the winds of darkness
The light is soring
And chains are bonded
Freedom is singing
Cling to the darkness
Until you've turned to song
The blues shall wash me
And sun shall dry me
The world will hide me
But she will find me
And when she find me
She will take me home
When she don't need me
It makes me crazy
She say rest easy
And it makes me lazy
But when she please me
She please me all night long

10. _ Dollar Bill Blues
By townes van zandt
If i had a dollar bill
Yes, i believe i surely will
Go to town and drink my fill
Early in the morning
Little darling, she's a redhaired thing
Man, she makes my legs to sing
Gonna buy her a diamond ring
Early in the morning
Mother was a golden girl
I slit her throat just to get her pearls
Cast myself into a whirl
Before a bunch of swine
It's a long way down the harlan road
Busted back and a heavy load
Won't get through to save my soul
Early in the morning
I've always been a gambling man
I've roled them bones with either hand
Seven is the promised land
Early in the morning
Whiskey'd be my dying bed
Tell me where to lay my head
Not with me is all she said
Early in the morning
If i had a dollar bill
Yes, i believe i surely will
Go to town and drink my fill
Early in the morning
