Rockaby Baby

On the treetop

When the wind blows the cradle will rock

When the bough breaks the cradle will fall

Down will come baby cradle and all

There is a young cowboy, he lives on the range
His horse and his cattle are his only companions
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons
Waiting for summer, his pastures to change
And as the moon rises, he sits by his fire
Thinkin' about women and glasses of beer
Reclosing his eyes as the doggies retire
He sings out a song which is soft, but it's clear
As if maybe someone could hear
Goodnight, you moonlight ladies
Rockabye, sweet baby James
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
Won't you let me go down in my dreams?
And rockabye, sweet baby James

You lose track of time
It's all just storms blowing through
You come rolling 'cross my mind
Your hair flashing in the blue
Like wild horses, just like wild horses
Just like wild horses

A fingernail moon in a twilight sky
I'm riding in the high grass of the switchback
I shout your name into the canyon
The echo throws it back

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house, we're born
Into this world, we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

An old cowboy went riding out
One dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested
As he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd
Of red eyed cows he saw
Plowin' through the ragged skies
And up the cloudy draw
Their brands were still on fire
And their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny
And their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him
As they thundered through the sky
For he saw the riders coming hard
And he heard their mournful cry
Yippie-yi-o
Yippie-yi-yay
Ghost riders in the sky

You fought hard and you saved and earned
But all of it's going to burn
And your mind, your tiny mind
You know you've really been so blind
Now's your time, burn your mind
You're falling far, too far behind
Oh no, oh no, oh no!
You're gonna burn
Fire, to destroy all you've done
Fire, to end all you've become
I'll feel you burn

I fell into the burning ring of fire
I went down down down and the flames went higher
And it burned burned burned
That ring of fire
That ring of fire

Get down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down deeper and down
I want all the world to see
To see you're laughing, and you're laughing at me
I can take it all from you
Again again again again

Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down, down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down
Five o'clock in the mornin'
I'm already up and gone
Lord, I'm so tired
How long can this go on?

Well, I was borned a coal miner's daughter
In a cabin, on a hill in Butcher Holler
We were poor but we had love
That's the one thing that daddy made sure of
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar

Don't go down the mine Dad,
For dreams very often come true
And Daddy you know it would break my heart
If anything happened to you.

Daddy started out in San Francisco,
Tootin' on his trumpet loud and mean.
Suddenly a voice said, "Go forth, Daddy.
Spread the picture on a wider screen."
And the voice said, "Daady, there's a million pigeons
Ready to be hooked on new religions.
Hit the road, Daddy. Leave your common-law wife.
Spread the religion of the rhythm of life."

I got rhythm I got music
I got my gal who can ask for anything more
I got daisies in green pastures
I got my gal who can ask for anything more
Old man trouble I don't mind him
You won't find him round my door
I got starlight
I got sweet dreams
Who can ask for more
You'll never find him round my door

Old man, take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true

So if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'Cause even if you're wrong

Track 31 on The Forces’ Sweetheart Ultimate Collection

Jealousy, `twas only through jealousy
Our hearts were broken, and angry words were spoken
Now all I have is memory to cherish so tenderly
With every token you have given to me
I loved too well for I doubted you in my heart
My life was hell every moment we were apart
Why did I make that big mistake
I wronged you right from the start

`Twas all over my jealousy
My crime was my blind jealousy
My heart was afire with desire for you
But I never thought that your love was true
You gave all your kisses to me
But now, all too late, I can see
The heartaches I cost you, no wonder I lost you
`Twas all over my jealousy

You gave all your kisses to me
But now, all too late, I can see
The heartaches I cost you, no wonder I lost you
`Twas all over my jealousy
`Twas all over my jealousy

I was dreamin' of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

Who's sorry now?
Who's sorry now?
Whose heart is achin' for breakin' each vow?
Who's sad and blue? Who's cryin' too?
Just like I cried over you

I'm sorry, so sorry
That I was such a fool
I didn't know
Love could be so cruel
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, yes
You tell me, mistakes
Are part of being young
But that don't right
The wrong that's been done

Oh! Carol
I am but a fool
Darling i love you
Though you treat me cruel
You hurt me
And you make me cry
But if you leave me
I will surely die

I love you, 'cause you tell me things I want to know
And it's true that it really only goes to show
That I know that I, I, I, I
Should never, never, never be blue
Now you're mine, my happiness still makes me cry
And in time, you'll understand the reason why
If I cry, it's not because I'm sad
But you're the only love that I've ever had

But me, I'm still on the road
Heading for another joint
We always did feel the same
We just saw it from a different point of view
Tangled up in blue

Blue
Songs are like tattoos
You know I've been to sea before
Crown and anchor me
Or let me sail away
Hey, blue
There is a song for you
Ink on a pin
Underneath the skin
An empty space to fill in

I am sailing, I am sailing
Home again, ‘cross the sea
I am sailing, stormy waters
To be near you, to be free

Sail away, away
Ripples never come back
They've gone to the other side
Look into the pool
Ripples never come back
Dive to the bottom and go to the top
To see where they have gone
Oh, they've gone to the other side
