Spoonful [Willie Dixon]
Could have been a spoonful
of coffee
Could have been a spoonful
of tea
Just a little spoon of your
precious love is good enough for me
Man lies about that, man
cries about that
Man dies about that, spoonful,
spoonful, spoonful
Could have been a spoonful
of water
Spread out on the desert
sand
Just a little spoon fortifies,
save you from another man
Man lies about that, man
cries about that
Even dies about that, spoonful,
spoonful, spoonful
Could have been a spoonful
of diamonds
Could have been a spoonful
of gold
Just a little spoon of your
precious love to satisfy my soul
Everybody's talking about
spoonful
Spoonful, spoonful, spoonful
Everybody's fighting about
spoonful
Stagger Lee [Garcia/Hunter/Traditional]
1940, Xmas eve, with a full
moon over town
Stagger Lee shot Billy DeLions
And he blew that poor boy
down.
Do you know what he shot
him for?
What do you make of that?
Cause Billy DeLions threw
the lucky dice
Won Stagger Lee's Stetson
hat.
Bayou, Bayou, tell me how
can this be?
You arrest the girls for
turning tricks
But you're scared of Stagger
Lee.
Stagger Lee is a madman
and he shot my Billy D.
Bayou go get him or give
the job to me.
Delia DeLions, dear sweet
Delia-D
How the hell can I arrest
him? He's twice as big as me.
Well don't ask me to go
downtown, I won't come back alive
[no more].
Not only is that mother
big but he packs a .45 [four].
Bayou, Delia said, just
give me a gun
He shot my Billy dead now
I'm gonna see him hung.
She went into the DeLion's
club through Billy DeLions blood
Stepped up to Stagger Lee
at the bar,
Said, "Buy me a gin fizz,
love."
[Jam]
As Stagger Lee lit a cigarette
she shot him in the balls
Blew the smoke off her revolver,
had him dragged to city hall
Bayou, Bayou, see you hang
him high
He shot my Billy dead and
now he's got to die.
Delia went a walking down
on Singapore Street
A three-piece band on the
corner played "Near My God to Thee"
But Delia whistled a different
tune, what tune could it be?
The song that woman sung
was "Look Out Stagger Lee".
The song that Delia sung
was "Look Out Stagger Lee".
Standing on the Moon
[Garcia/Hunter]
Standing on the moon, got
no caprin' on my shoe.
Standing on the moon, I'm
feeling so blue.
See the gulf of Mexico, as
silent as a tear.
The coast of California,
must be somewhere over here,
Over here.
Standing on the moon, I see
the battle rage below.
Standing on the moon, I
see the soldiers come and go.
There's a metal plate beside
me, someone planted long ago.
Those colors standing stiffly,
crimson, white, and indigo.
Oh, roaring, standing stiffly,
crimson, white, and indigo,
Indigo.
Standing on the moon, I can
see a silver door.
I hear the cries of children,
and other songs of war.
It's like a mighty melody,
which wings out from the sky.
Standing here upon the moon,
I watch it all roll by,
All roll by, all roll by,
all roll by.
Standing on the moon, I see
a shadow on the sun.
Standing on the moon, the
stars go fading one by one.
I can hear a cry of victory,
another of defeat.
A staff on angel lullaby,
down some forgotten street.
Standing on the moon, where
talk is cheap, and vision true.
Standing on the moon, but
I would rather be with you.
Somewhere in San Francisco,
on a back porch in July.
Just looking up to heaven,
at this crescent in the sky,
In the sky.
Standing on the moon, with
nothing left to do.
A lonely view of heaven,
but I'd rather be with you.
A lonely view of heaven,
but I'd rather be with you,
Be with you, be with you,
be with you, be with you,
Rather be with you, be with
you, be with you, be with you.
Stealin' [Gus Cannon]
Well, put your arms around
me like a circle in the sun
Stay with me baby like my
easy rider done
If you don't think I love
you look what a fool I've been
If you don't think I'm sinking
look what a hole I'm in
I'm stealin' pretty mama
don't you tell on me
I'm stealin' back my good
old used-to-be
Well, the woman I love she's
about my size
She's a married woman, comes
to see me sometimes
Stella
Blue [Garcia/Hunter]
All the years combine, they
melt into a dream,
A broken angel sings from
a guitar.
In the end there's just
a song, comes cryin' up the night
Through all the broken dreams
and vanished years.
Stella Blue. Stella
Blue.
When all the cards are down,
there's nothing left to see,
There's just the pavement
left and broken dreams.
In the end there's still
that song comes cryin' like the wind.
Down every lonely street
that's ever been
Stella blue. Stella blue.
I've stayed in every blue-light
cheap hotel, can't win for trying.
Dust off those rusty strings
just one more time,
Gonna make them shine (shine).
It all rolls into one and
nothing comes for free,
There's nothing you can
hold, for very long.
And when you hear that song
come crying like the wind,
It seems like all this life
was just a dream.
Stella Blue. Stella Blue.
Stella Blue. Stella Blue.
Stuck Inside of Mobile (With
The Memphis Blues Again) [Dylan]
Ah the rag man draws circles
up and down the block.
I'd ask him what the matter
was and ah did he dum talk.
And the ladies treat me
kindly and they furnished me with tea.
But deep inside my heart
I know I can't escape.
Oh mama, can this really
be the end.
To be stuck inside of Mobile
with the Memphis blues again.
Well Shakespeare he's in
the ally
With his pointed shoes and
his bells
Speaking to some french
girl who says she knows me well.
And I would send a message
to find out if she'd talked.
But the post office has
been stolen and the mailbox is locked.
Oh mama, can this really
be the end.
To be stuck inside of Mobile
with the Memphis blues again.
Mona tried to tell me to
stay away from the train line.
She said that all the railroad
men
Just drink up your blood
like wine.
And I said oh I didn't know
that,
But then again there's only
one I've met.
And he just smoked my eyelids
and punched my cigarette.
Oh mama, can this really
be the end.
To be stuck inside of Mobile
with the Memphis blues again.
Grandpa died last week and
now he's buried in the rocks.
And everybody still talks
about how badly they were shocked.
But me I expected it to
happen, I knew he'd lost control.
When he build a fire on
Main street and shot it full of holes.
Oh mama, can this really
be the end.
To be stuck inside of Mobile
with the Memphis blues again.
Now the senator came down
here, showing everyone his gun.
Handing out free tickets
to the wedding of his son.
And me I nearly got busted.
And wouldn't it be my luck.
To get caught without a
ticket and be discovered beneath the truck.
Ah mama, is this really
the end.
To be stuck inside of Mobile
with the Memphis blues again.
Now the teen preacher looked
so baffled
When I asked him why he'd
dressed,
With twenty pounds of headlines
stapled to his chest.
But he cursed me when I
proved to him,
Then I whispered said that
not even you can hide.
You see you're just like
me I hope your satisfied.
Oh mama, can this really
be the end.
To be stuck inside of Mobile
with the Memphis blues again.
Now the rainman gave me two
cures, then he said jump right in.
The one was Texas medicine,
the other was just railroad gin.
And like a fool I mixed
them, and it strangled up my mind,
And people just get uglier,
and I have no sense of time.
Oh mama, can this really
be the end.
To be stuck inside of Mobile
with the Memphis blues again.
When Ruthie says come see
her in her honky tonk lagoon.
Where I can watch her waltz
for free neath a Panamanian moon.
And I say ah come on now,
you know you know about my debutantes.
She says your debutante
knows what you need,
But I knows what you want
Oh mama, can this really
be the end.
To be stuck inside of Mobile
with the Memphis blues again.
Now the bricks lay on Grand
street. Where the neon madmen climb.
They all fall there so perfectly.
It all seems so well timed.
And here I sit so patiently
waiting to find out past.
You have to pay to get out
of going through all these things twice.
Ah mama, is this really
the end.
To be stuck here inside
of Mobile with the Memphis blues again.
Strugglin' Man
[Jimmy Cliff]
Every man has the right to
live.
Love is all he has to give.
Together we struggle by
the will to survive.
Together we fight just to
stay alive.
CHORUS:
Strugglin' man has got to
move.
Strugglin' man has got no
time to lose.
I'm a strugglin' man and
I got to move on.
The sun lights the day and
the moon lights the night.
Strugglin' man keeps reachin'
for the higher heights.
So we plan for tomorrow
as we live for today.
Like the flowers we bloom
and then later fade away.
CHORUS
The sun lights the day and
the moon lights the night.
Strugglin' man keeps reachin'
for the higher heights.
So we plan for tomorrow
as we live for today.
Like the flowers we bloom
and then later fade away.
Sugaree [Garcia/Hunter]
When they come to take you
down, when they bring that wagon 'round,
When they come to call on
you and drag your poor body down.
Just one thing I ask of you,
just one thing for me:
Please forget you knew my
name, my darling Sugaree.
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree;
just don't tell them you know me.
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree;
just don't tell them you know me.
You thought you was the cool
fool, and never could do no wrong.
Had ev'rything sewed up
tight; how come you lay awake all night long?
Well in spite of all you
gained,
You still have to stand
out in the pouring rain.
One last voice is calling
you, and I guess it's time you go.
Well, shake it up now, Sugaree;
I'll meet you at the jubilee,
And if that jubilee don't
come, maybe I'll meet you on the run.
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree;
just don't tell them that you know me.
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree;
just don't tell them that you know me.
Sugar Magnolia [Weir/Hunter]
Sugar magnolia, blossoms
blooming, heads all empty and I don't care.
Saw my baby down by the
river,
Knew she'd have to come
up soon for air.
Sweet blossom come on, under
the willow,
We can have high times if
you'll abide.
We can discover the wonders
of nature,
Rolling in the rushes down
by the riverside.
She's got everything delightful,
she's got everything I need.
Takes the wheel when I'm
seeing double,
Pays my ticket when I speed.
She comes skimmin' through
rays of violet.
She can wade in a drop of
dew. She don't come and I don't follow,
Waits backstage while I
sing to you.
Well, she can dance a Cajun
rhythm,
Jump like a Willys in four-wheel
drive.
She's a summer love in the
spring, fall and winter;
She can make happy any man
alive.
Sugar Magnolia,
ringing that bluebell,
Caught up in sunlight.
Come on out singing
I'll walk you in the sunshine,
come on honey, come along with me.
She's got everything delightful,
she's got everything I need,
A breeze in the pines and
the sun and bright moonlight,
Lazing in the sunshine yes
indeed.
Sometimes when the cuckoo's
crying, when the moon is half way down,
Sometimes when the night
is dying,
I take me out and I wander
around,
I wander 'round.
The sunshine daydream,
walking in the tall trees.
Going where the wind goes,
blooming like a red rose.
Breathing more freely.
Ride out singing,
I'll walk you in the morning
sunshine
Sunshine, daydream.|| Sunshine,
daydream. Walking in the sunshine.||
Sunrise [Donna Godchaux]
Gazing at the fire, burning
by the water
Before he speaks the world
around us quiets.
With eyes as sharp as arrows
and turning to the fire
He clears the air and cuts
it with a feather.
Many in a circle slowly 'round
the fire
When he is gone I want to
know him better.
No one is forsaken, no one
is a liar,
He plants the tree of life
on our foreheads with water.
He hums, there are drums,
four winds, rising suns,
We are singing and playing,
I her him saying.
I remember breezes from winds
inside your body
Keep me high, like I told
you,
I'll sing to them this story
and know why.
Supplication [Weir/Barlow]
Well, dizzy ain't the word
for the way that you're making me feel now
Well, I need some indication,
girl,
If all of this is real now,
tell me girl now
Well, I've heard it said
there's something wrong in my head, now
Got to help me, girl, now
Could it be infatuation
or am I just being misled now?
Little bolt of inspiration
Way you strike me now
Sparking my imagination,
got the lightning now
Cause me such excitation,
got the lightning now
'Bout to end my suffocation,
come on strike me now
Little bolt of inspiration
Way you strike me now, she's
back in my imagination
Swing Low Sweet Chariot
[Traditional]
I looked over Jordan and
what did I see, coming for to carry me home.
A band of angels is coming
after me, coming for to carry me home.
[Chorus]
Swing low, sweet chariot,
coming for to carry me home.
Swing low, sweet chariot,
coming for to carry me home.
[Jam]
If you get to heaven before
I do, coming for to carry me home.
Tell all my friends I'll
be coming there too,
Coming for to carry me home.
[Chorus]
[Jam]
I'm sometimes up and I'm
sometimes down, coming for to carry me home
But I'd steal my soul if
it ever were down,
Coming for to carry me home.
