Beckton Dumps

Baby!
I can't seem to open my eyes
But I must get out of this bed
'Cause the phone keeps ringing downstairs
And I know that this ain't no place for a sleepy head
I go down to my chest
Oh! Yer!
Put on my old string vest
Swing it on baby
Well I feel like I'm in need
So I go back up for a smoke
And then I slip back in my easy chair
Then I give my lucky dog a stroke
Well he just gives me a wink
And I know what that mean now
Well it mean that I need to put on his lead
If I don't want a mess on my cheap pan
That's cool
'Cause I know I can trust him
To grab the fuzz if they bust in
Get him boy! Oh! yer!
Well what does it take
To make a jelly roll?
Who can you sell?
When I wake up to a grey day
How do I ship away so easily?
Oh!
Baby!
Baby!
Well I feel too old to get a hair cut
And I ain't had a shave in months
Now when I don't go out
I keep my door shut
And I get on back to good old Beckton Dumps
Drowning!
Now warn ya!
I'll be right back!
I won't go there!

Ill Go Alone

Muskets aimed right at my head
It's just our job to do they said
Have you anything to say
A preacher whispered and swayed
Why a man in a checked shirt shot him down on the ground
Tell the dream I have all alone
And I know when I go I'll go alone
You make me fell like I am
What I am
I seem much older than then
But I'm young, why feel down
My eyes are closed
I cannot speak
Though I hear you talk to me
Where's a man I saw dead cold
I'll count ten and make sure
Here I am with my hands bound in a plane going down fast
Tell the dream I have all alone
And I know when I go I'll go alone
Where can I find you to tell you the truth
I'll raise a flag of white satin brocade
Why feel down
Muskets aimed right at my head
I closed my eyes there in my bed
People talk and I don't hear a word
All that they say I can say with a nod
Why feel down
The captain cried out to his mate
That man has had his time don't wait
Have you anything to say
A preacher whispered and swayed
Why a man in a checked shirt shot him down on the ground
Tell the dream I have all alone
And I know when I go I'll go alone

Get Down To It

I love you Babe
Do you know?
I'll be any place
You want me to go
Save my love for you
Yes I will
When you need love to help you
Do not fear
Sweet sweet Baby
I've found a nurse
I know I can girl
You be my trust
Ooh ee Baby
Ooh ee
Get down and do those things you do to me
You're alright
Oh! Yer!
All the time since
You left your spell on me
Your lovin' set my soul on fire
Your love is my one desire
Ooh ee Baby
Ooh ee
Get down and do those things you do to me
Yer! Yer!
Like didn't I say the rest girl?
Always tryin' to do
Your best girl
I love you girl
Do you know?
I'll be any place
Anytime you want me to go
Ooh ee Baby
Ooh ee
Get down and do those things you do to me
Get on down
Ooh ee Baby
Get on down
etc., etc.

Say No More

Well it felt so sad to be
Where I didn't need to be
Now I feel so good to know
How you still care for me
When it's alright in front of you
It's so hard to see
But there was a wall about you
Though it took me awhile just
To suss it out
And what I laid down
At my shout didn't help me none
'Cause you held me soul in your hands
It sifted through your fingers
Like fine silver sand
Well I don't need a swimming pool
I don't need hammocks on the wall
I just want you Babe
And that's all
I'll say no more
I laid all my cards on the table
I can give you what you need
Now I'm able to
Now I tell you how I feel
I hope you come thru
'Cause if you're the sea
Then I'm your rock
And if I'm a key
Then you're my lock
Well if you're a foot
Then I'm your sock
So wear me well
Oh! Go away all alone
Don't leave me here Babe
With just this 1-way telephone
Without you I ain't no big shot
Even now looks like I hit the jackpot
I just need you Babe
That's my long shot
I can sing no more

Thunderbox

Oh, yeah
Ooh, oh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Oh, yeah
He's a thunderbox, sure
You got your hot pants round your shoulders
Lick your lips and you a fox
Everybody stopped and told us
They say you got a thunderbox
You can see for yourself, I've got a clean bill of health
I ain't never seen a thunderbox
Oh, oh, what do you know
Well, I get to sing--solo
He's a thunderbox
Oh yea, he's a thunderbox...
Well, was your claim to fame
In the same letter name
It's your game I'm playing
While the music is swaying
Oh, I'm so glad I came in here
He's a thunderbox
Oh yea, he's a thunderbox...
You're not a lot, you know, when you ain't a gypsy
And a hooker with your wicked knots
I had to park the car and take a look to see
'Cause I ain't never seen a thunderbox
Oh, oh, well, I don't know where you've been
But I can guess what you've seen
You know what I mean
He's a thunderbox
Oh, yea, he's a thunderbox...
Oh, oh, I can see what you've got
Since you sure got a lot
And, and the band's still playing
Let the music sway
Oh, I'm so glad I came in here
He's a thunderbox
Oh, yea, he's a thunderbox...
Some say you from Dallas there
And you're hooked on pork and beans
But I think it might be you're from Louisiana
Roundabout New Orleans
I can see you don't smell like no flower
But I can say the same for myself
Tell you girl, I know that you know that I know I've got my reasons
You know that you're bad yourself
Don't ask me for no answers
You could never ever take the shock
I've got the grief and I'll take my chances
Rolling with my thunderbox
Oh, oh, I guess you may s

Shine On

Find it hard to see you in the dark
I looked around--you were beside me
Don't you realize it's hard to dream without your helping hard to guide me
This could be the one, if you will be my sun
Shine on!
'cause i need someone around me when i'm down
Shine on! shine on!
Shine on me! shine on you! let it shine on!
Shine on!
Look about and tell me what you see
Noise and dirt and plastic people
'cause love is clean and ours has been a bluer shade of jade there than that's provided
Take me on a ride girl!
Right there by my side, lord!
Shine on!
Shine on me! shine on you! let it shine on!
Shine on! shine on!
All i have to do in let it shine on!
Shine on!
Shine on!
Shine on me! shine on you! let it shine on!
Shine on! shine on!
All i have to do in let it shine on!
Shine on!
Let it shine on! shine on me! shine on! shine on you!
Shine on! shine on!

I Wonder

Sometimes I sit here in this chair
And I wonder
I said I wonder oh where can you be
This dark and lonely night
I wonder if you're holdin'
I wonder if you're holdin' someone tight now
I said I wonder
Wanna tell you my heart's been breakin'
You know I feel such a fool to let it keep on achin'
But one day I feel I may wake up
And find I was mistaken
That's what keeps me wonderin'
I say I wonder
I wonder baby
Where can you be this cold and dark and rainy
Miserable night
I wonder if you're holdin'
I wonder if you're holdin' someone else tight
You know I wonder (here I go)
I wanna tell you
My heart's been breakin'
I feel such a fool to sit here and let it keep on achin'
One day I may wake up
And find I was mistaken
That's what keeps me wonderin'
Said I wonder
I said I wonder
I wonder where you been and what you been doin'

Old Time Feelin

I'm takin' my time
Hangin' my days in sunshine
Feel just like how I wanna be
I feel all right, gettin' that old time feelin' in me

I think of the days
When all my nights were only
Half of what they used to be
I'm changin' all these changes
Gettin' that old time feelin' in me

I'm lookin' out
My kitchen door is open
To everyone and everybody
'Cause the day I get home
I get that old time feelin' in me

I think of the days
When all my nights were only
Half of what they used to be
I'm gettin' that old time feelin' in me
