They say that richard cory owns one-half of this here town
With political connections, spread his wealth around
Born into society a banker's only child
He had everything a man could want,
Power, grace and style

But i work in his factory
And i curse the life i'm livin'
And i curse my poverty
That i wish that i could be
Yeah i wish that i could be
I wish that i could be, richard cory

The papers print his pictures
Almost everywhere he go
Richard cory at the opera,
Richard cory at the show
And the rumours of his a parties
And the orgies on his yacht
Well, he surely must be happy
With everything that he has got

But i, work in his factory
And i curse the life i'm livin'
And i curse my poverty
And i wish that i could be
I wish that i can be, yeah
I wish that i can be, richard cory

He freely gives to charity
Had that common touch
They were grateful for his patronage
And thanked him very much
But my mind was filled with wonder
When the evening headlines
That richard cory went home last night
And put a bullet through his head

But i, i, i, work in his factory
And i, i don't dig the life i'm livin'
And i don't dig my poverty
And i wish that i could be
Yeah and i wish that i could be
Yeah wish that i could be, richard cory

And i wish that i could be
I wish that i could be
Somehow i wish that i could be
A just like a richard cory
Just li-i-i-ike, richard co-ory
A richard cory
A richard cory
Fades
A richard cory, just a man, just a boy

A well money's gettin' cheaper
Price is gettin' steeper
I found a little woman
But i just couldn't keep her

Times gettin' tougher than tough
Times gettin' rougher than rough
Well i make alot of money
I just keep spendin' the stuff

Oh well pork chops on the market
Ask the butcher for a pound
I couldn't get no pork chop
When i laid my money down

Times gettin' tougher than tough
Times gettin' rougher than rough
Well i make alot of money
I just keep spendin' the stuff

(instrumental)

Oh well the politicans say
Get the people on their feet
They wanna cut the price
And let the people eat

Times gettin' tougher than tough
The times gettin' rougher than rough
But i make alot of money
Just keep spendin' the stuff

Well i can't afford to live
I guess i'll have to try
Undertakers got a union
And it cost too much to die

Times gettin' tougher than tough
Well times gettin' rougher than rough
Well i make alot of money
Just keep spendin' the stuff

When this old world has let you down
And friends no longer want you around
When you feel burdened down with care
And troubles seem so hard to bear

Call my name hear me talkin' to ya baby
Call my name, yeah-hey-yeah, call my name
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
And i'll be there

When everything that you try has failed
And you never even get no mail
Well after you seem such a bore
And blues come calling 'round your door

Call my name hear me talkin' to ya baby
Call my name, yeah-yeah-yeah, call my name
Whoa oh oh oh yeah
Yeah, i'll be there

(instrumental)

If you feel that you're all alone
And sick inside away from home
When you no longer want to try
Or care if you should live or die

Call my name hear me talkin' to ya baby
Call my name, yeah-yeah-yeah, and i'll be there
Right there, where i belong
Fades
All you gotta do is call me
All you gotta do is call me

You must leave now take what you need
You think will last
But whatever you wish to keep you better grab it fast

Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out baby, the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now baby blue

The highway is for gamblers better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
The sky too is fallin in over you- ooo
And it's all over now baby blue

(instrumental)

Leave your stepping stones behind
There's something that calls for you
Forget the debt you left that will not follow you

Your lover who has just walked through the door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
The carpet too is foldin' over you
And it's all over now baby blue

Well strike another match, yeah, go start a-new
Go start a-new
'cause it's all over now baby blue
Hey, hey, yeah
It's all over, it's all over now baby blue
It's all over, it's all over now oh yeah
Fades
It's all over now, it's all over now baby blue

I've been up and and down the highway
And i've seen what a man can do
To some little girl along the byway
That's why i sing this song to you

If you find your baby's gone
And you don't know where or when
You wonder, yes you wonder
If you'll ever see him again
Just remember, remember
These simple words i brought

Soon it won't hurt half as much
No it won't hurt half as much
No it won't hurt half as much as you thought

'cause i been up and down the highway
And i watch them as they pass by
Broken hearts and i wish that they'd go my way
I'd save them every little teardrop they cry

Won't you listen?
If you think you can't go on
And life ain't got it for you no more
You're waitin' every night
For him to come walkin' through that door

Just remember, remember
These simple words that i brought
Soon it won't hurt half as much
No it won't hurt half as much
No it won't hurt half as much as you thought

Well, it won't hurt half as much
No, it won't hurt half as much
Lord, it won't hurt half as much as you though
Fades
And everytime you're sad, you cry
You feel like you...
