Midnight Hour [W.Pickett/S.Cropper]
I'm gonna wait 'till the
midnight hour
That's when my love comes
tumbling down
I'm gonna wait 'till the
midnight hour
When there's nobody else
around
I'm gonna take you girl
and hold you
Do all things I told you
in the midnight hour
I'm gonna hold you in my
arms and see the twinkle in your eyes
I'm gonna wait 'till the
midnight hour
That's when my love begins
to shine
You're the only girl I know
Really love you so in the
midnight hour
Midnight Moonlight [P.Rowan]
If you ever feel lonesome
when you're down in San Antone
Beg, steal, or borrow two
nickels or a dime
To call me on the phone.
And I'll meet you at Alamo
Mission, where we can say our prayers.
The Holy Ghost and the Virgin
Mother will heal us as we kneel there.
[Chorus]
In the moonlight, in the
midnight,
In the moonlight, midnight,
moonlight
In the moonlight, in the
midnight,
In the moonlight, midnight,
moonlight
If you ever feel sorrow for
the deeds you have done.
With no hope for tomorrow
in the setting of the sun.
And the ocean is howling,
for the things that might have been.
And that last good morning
sunrise
Will be the brightest you've
ever seen.
[Chorus]
If you ever feel sorrow for
the deeds you have done.
With no hope for tomorrow
in the setting of the sun.
And the ocean is howling,
for the things that might have been.
And that last good morning
sunrise
Will be the brightest you've
ever seen.
[Chorus] 2x
Might As Well [Garcia/Hunter]
Great North Special, were
you on board?
Can't find a ride like that
no more.
Night the chariot swung
down low
Ninety-nine children had
a chance to go.
One long party from front
to end
Tune to the whistle going
'round the bend,
No big hurry, what do you
say?
Might as well the elegant
way.
[Chorus]
Might as well, might as
well, (might as well, might as well)
Might as well, might as
well, (might as well, might as well)
Might as well, might as
well, (might as well)
Might as well, might as
well, (might as well)
Might as well, might as
well, (might as well)
Ragtime solid for twenty-five
miles
Then switch over to the
cajun style
Bar car blowing rhythm and
blues,
Rock 'n' roll wailing in
the old caboose.
Long train running from coast
to coast
Bringing home a party when
you need it the most
Whup on the box car, beat
on the bell
Nothing else shaking so
you might just as well.
[Chorus]
Never had such a good time,
in my life before.
I'd like to have it one
time more,
One good ride from start
to end,
I'd like to take that ride
again, again.
[Jam on verse chords]
Ran out of track and I caught
the plane
Back in the county with
the blues again
Great North Special been
on my mind
I might like to ride it
just one more time.
[Chorus]
The Mighty Quinn [Dylan]
Everybody's building ships
and boats.
Some are building monuments,
and some are jotting down notes.
Everybody's in despair,
every girl and boy,
When Quinn the Eskimo gets
here everybody's gonna jump for joy.
[Chorus]
Come all without, come all
within.
You'll not see nothing like
the Mighty Quinn.
Come all without, come all
within.
You'll not see nothing like
the Mighty Quinn.
I like my coffee like the
rest, I like my sugar sweet.
But chocolate cubes and
making haste, just ain't my cup of meat.
Everybody's 'neath the trees,
feeding pigeons on a limb.
When Quinn the Eskimo gets
here,
All the pigeons gonna run
to him.
[Chorus]
If you do what I want you
do, I can't decide in my heart
Tell me where you put it,
and I'll tell you who to call.
Nobody can get no sleep,
there's someone on everybody's toes.
When Quinn the Eskimo gets
here, everybody's gonna wanna doze.
[Chorus]
[Jam on verse chords]
[Chorus] 2x
New Minglewood Blues
[Noah Lewis]
I was born in a desert, raised
in a lion's den.
I was born in a desert,
raised in a lion's den.
And my number one occupation
is stealing women from their men
If you're down in Memphis,
you best stop down Minglewood
If you're down in Memphis,
you best stop down Minglewood
When I take a walk down
there, all the women sure look good
If you can't believe me,
it'll make it hard to believe in you
If you can't believe me,
it'll make it hard to believe in you
Cause we all need each other,
well you know it's true
All New Minglewood Blues
[Noah Lewis]
I was born in a desert, raised
in a lion's den.
I was born in a desert,
raised in a lion's den.
And my number one occupation
is stealing women from their men
Well, I'm a wanted man in
Texas, busted jail and I'm gone for good.
Said, I'm a wanted man in
Texas, busted jail and I'm gone for good.
Well, the sheriff couldn't
catch me,
But his little girl sure
wish she would.
[Jam]
Well now the doctor call
me crazy, sometimes I am, sometimes I ain't,
Said now the doctor call
me crazy, sometimes I am, sometimes I ain't,
Yes, and the preacher man
call me sinner,
But his little girl call
me saint.
Well a couple shots of whiskey
women round here start looking good,
I said a couple shots of
whiskey women round here start looking good.
A couple more shots of whiskey,
I'm going down to Minglewood.
[Jam]
I was born in the desert,
raised in a lion's den.
Said, I was born in the
desert, raised in a lion's den.
Yes and my number one occupation
is stealing women
from their men.
And I'll do it, do it again.
Oh, my number one occupation
is stealing women from their men.
Mission in the Rain [Garcia/Hunter]
I turn and walk away then
I come 'round again
It looks as though tomorrow
I'll do pretty much the same.
I must turn down your offer
but I'd like to ask a break
You know I'm ready to give
everything for anything I take.
Someone called my name you
know I turned around to see
It was midnight in the Mission
and the bells were not for me.
[Chorus]
Come again, walking along
in the Mission in the rain,
Come again, walking along
in the Mission in the rain.
Ten years ago, I walked this
street my dreams were riding tall
Tonight I would be thankful
Lord, for any dream at all.
Some folks would be happy
just to have one dream come true
But everything you gather
is just more that you can lose.
[Chorus]
[Jam]
All the things I planned
to do I only did half way
Tomorrow will be Sunday
born of rainy Saturday.
There's some satisfaction
in the San Francisco rain
No matter what comes down
the Mission always looks the same.
[Chorus]
Come again, walking along
in the Mission in the rain. [4x]
Mississippi
Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo [Garcia/Hunter]
On the day when I was born
Daddy sat down and cried.
I had the mark just as plain
as day;
Which could not be denied.
They say that Cain caught
Abel rollin' loaded dice;
Ace of Spades behind his
ear and him not thinkin' twice.
Halfstep, Mississippi uptown
toodeloo.
Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye.
Half a cup of Rock and Rye.
Farewell to you old Southern
skies.
I'm on my way, on my way.
If all you got to live for
is what you left behind,
Get yourself a powder charge
and seal that silver mine.
Lost my boots in transit,
baby, pile of smokin' leather.
I nailed a retread to my
feet and prayed for better weather.
[Chorus]
[Jam]
They say that when your ship
comes in, the first man takes the sails.
Second takes the afterdeck,
the third, the planks and rails.
What's the point of callin'
shots, this cue ain't straight in line.
Cue ball's made of styrofoam
and no one's got the time.
[Chorus]
Across the Rio Grande-o,
Across the lazy river.
Mississippi Moon [P.Rowan]
You tell me you're lonely,
I know how you feel.
Leaning up at the doors,
rocking back on my heels.
She's a wild bird that wandered,
too easy to explain
I knew she had to lose me,
to find her own way.
I'm coming, I'll be coming
soon.
Through the Louisiana pines,
to the Mississippi moon.
Through the Louisiana pines,
to the Mississippi moon.
A wave on the ocean, a whirlwind
on the sea.
I took a notion, that her
ship could not land.
So light me a candle, in
the forest so deep.
Honey, lay down beside me,
angels rock us to sleep.
I'm coming, I'll be coming
soon.
Through the Louisiana pines,
to the Mississippi moon.
Through the Louisiana pines,
to the Mississippi moon.
Mister Charlie [McKernan/Hunter]
I take a little powder, take
a little salt,
Put it in my shotgun, I go
walkin' out.
Jubba jubba, wolly bully,
looking high, looking low,
Gonna scare you up and shoot
ya, 'cause Mister Charlie told me so.
I won't even take your life,
won't even take a limb,
Just unload my shotgun,
take a little skin.
Jubba jubba, wolly bully,
looking high, looking low,
Gonna scare you up and shoot
ya, 'cause Mister Charlie told me so.
[Jam on verse chords] 2x
[Bridge]
Well you take a silver dollar,
take those silver dimes,
Mix it up together with
some alligator wine.
And I can hear the drums,
voodoo all night long,
Mister Charlie tells me
I can't do nothing wrong.
Jubba jubba, wolly bully,
looking high, looking low,
Gonna scare you up and shoot
ya, Mister Charlie told me so.
Now Mister Charlie told me,
won't you like to know,
Give you little warning
before I let you go.
Jubba jubba, wolly bully,
looking high, looking low,
Gonna scare you up and shoot
ya, 'cause Mister Charlie told me so.
Gonna scare you up and shoot
ya,
'Cause Mister Charlie told
me, Mister Charlie told me so.
