Well met, well met, my own true love. Well met, well met, cried she. I've just returned from the salt, salt sea. And it's all for the love of thee. . I could have married a King's daughter there.
Well, I'm stranded in the city that never sleeps. Some of these women they just give me the creeps. I'm avoidin' the south side, the best I can. These memories I got they can strangle a man.

High water risin'. Risin' night and day. All the gold and silver. Are being stolen away. . Big Joe Turner lookin' East and West. From the dark room of his mind.
Well my heart's in the Highlands, gentle and fair. Honeysuckle blooming in the wildwood air. Bluebelles blazing where the Aberdeen waters flow. Well my heart's in the Highland.

Heart of mine be still,. You can play with fire but you'll get the bill.. Don't let her know. Don't let her know that you love her.. Don't be a fool, don't be blind.

You may be an ambassador. To England or France. You might like to gamble. You might like to dance. You may be the heavyweight. Champion of the world. You might be a socialite.

Smoky autumn night, stars up in the sky,. I see the sailin' boats across the bay go by.. Eucalyptus trees hang above the street. And then I turn my head, for you're approachin' me..
I've just reached a place. Where the willow don't bend. There's not much more to be said. It's the top of the end. I'm going. I'm going. I'm gone. . I'm closin' the book.

Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair,. where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,. remember me to one who lives there.. she once was a true love of mine..

Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair. Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline. Remember me to one who lives there. She once was a true love of mine.

Of war and peace the truth just twists, its curfew gull it glides. Upon four-legged forest clouds, the cowboy angel rides. With his candle lit into the sun, though its glow is waxed in black.
I got this graveyard woman, you know she keeps my kids. But my soulful mama, you know she keeps me hid. She's a junkyard angel and she always gives me bread.
