Jerry Jeff Walker - The first showboat

Tekst :

You know a mile around the bend on the Ohio
Coming up the river for the Sunday show
There s a tuba and a banjo and a steam calliope
Way in the back there s a big paddle wheel

Chorus:
What a thrill it musta been, playing Dixie for the folks
Up and down the river on the first showboat
What a thrill it musta been, playing Dixie for the folks
Up and down the river on the first showboat

Momma took the kids and papa took the lunch
The kids took the bells and the whiskey took the drunks
But the biggest thrill of all, you know it had to be
Was sitting up front playing steam calliope

Chorus

Well there s magic in the air, they re fiddlin the rhymes
It s slow and easy in the summertime
Yeah, but who d of ever thought, the day would come to be
Where there s oil on the waters where the rivers used to be

Chorus

Yeah a mile around the bend on the Ohio
Coming up the river for the Sunday show

  • Bad girl
  • Cowboy boots and bathing suits
  • What i like about Texas
  • The other Jerry Jeff
  • She knows her daddy sings
  • I feel like Hank Williams tonight
  • Time to stay home
  • Rhythm of the rain
  • LA freeway
  • Little bird
  • Long long time
  • Navajo rug
  • Hands on the wheel
  • Detour
  • Movin on

    • Losowe utwory

    Are you happy

    I met a pretty girl on a date last night,
    and let me tell you now, she was groovy.
    And I kissed the pretty girl, and I held her tight,
    let me tell you now, she was groovy.

    And now, no matter what I try...

    Revolution in paradise

    What a world
    What a place to be
    See the People everywhere
    The pain of nations -
    I tell you
    Mother earth needs the help
    Of all the children of the world
    A revolution

    Here we go -
    Hear me...

    Remedium

    Światem zaczęła rządzić jesień,
    Topi go w żółci i czerwieni,
    A ja tak pragnę czemu nie wiem,
    Uciec pociągiem od jesieni.

    Uciec pociągiem od przyjaciół,
    Wrogów, rachunków, telefonów.
    Nie trzeba długo się namyślać,
    Wystarczy tylko wybiec z domu.

    Wsiąść do pociągu byle jakiego,
    Nie dbać o bagaż, nie...

    Niggas bleed

    Verse One:
    Today s agenda
    Got the suitcase up in the Sentra
    Go to room 112, tell em Blanco sent ya
    Feel the strangest
    If no money exchanges
    I got these kids in ranges
    Believe them niggas brainless
    All they tote is...

    Into the arena

    No one knows the way
    It s all a secret
    Hunt for knowledge
    On your journey home
    Gotta fight for freedom, independent power
    Living for now, trying somehow
    Praying for the day

    She s a blazer
    I m a soul chaser
    We ll keep on searching for more
    Cruising...
