A Cabin in Gloryland
Many years I've been lookin' for a place to call home
But I fail yet to find it, so I must travel on
I don't care for fine mansions on earth's sinkin' sand
Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land
Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land
In the shade of the tree of life that it may ever stand
Where I can just hear the angels sing and shake Jesus' hand
Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land
Blessed Lord, I'm not askin' to live in the midst
For I know I'm not worthy of such splendor as this
But I'm askin' for mercy while humbly I stand
Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land
Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land
In the shade of the tree of life that it may ever stand
Where I can just hear the angels sing and shake Jesus' hand
Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land
I have many loved one's who've gone on this way
On the Great Final mornin' shall I hear them say
Come and join in the singin' and play in our band
Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land
Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land
In the shade of the tree of life that it may ever stand
Where I can just hear the angels sing and shake Jesus' hand
Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land

Mother in law

The worst person I know
(Mother-in-law), mother-in-law
She worries me so

If she'd leave us alone
We would have a happy home
Sent from down below
(Mother-in-law), mother-in-law

Satan should be her name
(Mother-in-law), mother-in-law
To me they're 'bout the same
(Mother-in-law), mother-in-law
Every time I open my mouth
Steps in to try put me out
How could she stoop so low
(Mother-in-law), mother-in-law
(Mother-in-law), mother-in-law
Bridge
I come home with my pay
(Mother-in-law), mother-in-law
She asks me what I made
(Mother-in-law), mother-in-law
She thinks her advice is the constitution
But if she would leave that would be the solution
And don't come back no more
(Mother-in-law) MYYY mother-in-law, mother in law
Midnight mover. Wilson Pickett
I'm a midnight mover
All night through

All day sleeper
I'm a midnight rover
Have to look things overr>
Leave your love light shinin' bright
Makes me know that everything's all right

Got to be a midnight groover
Got to be a midnight teaser
Got to be a midnight pleasure
Got to be a midnight hunger

No Roots
Bass intro
2 bangs and a bong
I like digging holes and
Hiding things inside them
When I grow old I hope
I won't forget to find them
'Cause I've got memories and
Travel like gypsies in the night
I build a home and wait for
Someone to tear it down
Then pack it up in boxes
Head for the next town running
'Cause I've got memories and
Travel like gypsies in the night
And a thousand times I've seen this road
A thousand times
I've got no roots
For my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots
For my home was never on the ground
I've got no ro-o-o-o-o-ots
I've got no ro-o-o-o-o-ots [x2]
I like standing still
But that's just a wishful plan
Ask me where I come from
I'll say a different land
But I've got memories and
Travel like gypsies in the night
I count gates and numbers
Then play the guessing game
It's just the place that changes
The rest is still the same
But I've got memories and
Travel like gypsies in the night
And a thousand times I've seen this road
A thousand times
I've got no roots
For my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots
For my home was never on the ground
I've got no ro-o-o-o-o-ots
I've got no ro-o-o-o-o-ots [x2]

Wayfaring Stranger
Intro with Mandolin (one 'verse')
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woe
And there's no sickness, no toil nor danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
Bridge
Breakdown: Guitar, dobro, fiddle, banjo
I know dark clouds will gather round me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
In Christ redeemed, their vigils keep
I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I go
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
Bridge
Breakdown: Mandolin/banjo, bass
I want to wear that crown of glory
When I get home to that bright land
Well, I want to shout salvation's story
In concert with all the blood-washed band
Outro
I'm going there to see my Savior
I'm going there no more to roam

Sing Me Back Home
3d heavy drum beat
The warden, led a prisoner, down the hallway to his doom
I stood up, to say goodbye like all the rest
And I heard him, tell the warden, just before he reached my cell
"Let my guitar, playing friend do my request"
Let him sing me back home, with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories, come alive
Take me away, and turn back the years
Sing me back home, before I die
I recall last Sunday morning, a choir from off the streets
Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him, tell the singers, "There's a song my mama sang
Could I hear it once, before you move along?"
Won't ya sing me back home, with the the song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away, and turn back the years
Sing me back home, before I die
Sing me back home, before I die
Last refrain optional
Won't you sing me back home, the the song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
Sing me back home before I die

Streets of Bakersfield
I came here looking for something
I couldn't find anywhere else
I don't want to be nobody
Just wanna chance to be myself
I've done a thousand miles of thumbin'
Yes I've worn blisters on my heels
Trying to find me something better
on the streets of Bakersfield
You don't know me, but you don't like me
You say you care less how I feel
How many of you that sit and judge me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
Bridge
Spent some time in San Francisco
spent a night there in the can
They threw this drunk man in my jail cell
I took fifteen dollars from that man
I left him my watch and my old house key
I don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal
Then I thanked him as he was sleeping
And I headed out for Bakersfield
You don't know me, but you don't like me
You say you care less how I feel
How many of you that sit and judge me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

Hit it after less than a beat pause
I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
Well, I'm a-losin' weight and a-turnin' mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
Well, I thought the day I met you, you were, meek as a lamb
Just the kind to fit my, dreams and plans
Now, the pace we're livin' takes the, wind from my sails
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

Well, every night you drag me where, the bright lights are found
There ain't no way to slow you down
I'm about as helpless, as a leaf in a gale
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
Well, I'm a-losin' weight and a-turnin' mighty pale

Waitin' In Your Welfare Line
Vocal intro/semi-refrain
I got the hungries for your love
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line
Well, I ain't got nothing but the shirt on my back
And an old, two button, suit
I walked out on my job about a week ago
And now I'm sleepin' in a telephone booth
But I'm a-gonna be the richest guy around
The day, you say, you're mine
I got the hungries for your love
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line
Well, when I first saw you, babe, you nearly made me wreck
My ol' '49 Cadillac
I knew at a glance that it was you for me
Yell, I had to have your love by heck
I'm gonna follow you, baby, wherever you go
I got nothin', to lose, but my time
I got the hungries for your love
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line
Bridge
Well, you made me the top dog on your hill
And, I was, overjoyed
But it didn't take long till the thrill was gone<-->

Paradise
Two bangs
When I was a child my family would travel
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
There's a backwoods old town that's often remembered
So many times that my memories are worn.
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry my son/child, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
Bridge
3 ding dongs
Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River
To an abandoned old prison down by Airdrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill.
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry my son/child, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
Short bridge
Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man.
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry my son/child, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
—
Lynn drops final verse+++++++++++++++++
When I die let my ashes float down the Green River
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam
I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin'
Just five miles away from wherever I am.
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
California Cotton Fields
Tanya version
Intro
Three bangs
My driftin' memory goes back to the spring of '43
When I was just a child in momma's arms
My daddy plowed the ground and promised someday we would leave
This run-down mortgaged Oklahoma farm
Then one night I heard my daddy sayin' to my momma
That he finally saved enough for her to go
California was his dream, a paradise, for he had seen
Pictures, in magazines, that told him so
Refrain
California cotton fields
Where labor camps were filled with weary men with broken dreams
California cotton fields
Was close to wealth as daddy ever came
Bridge
Almost everything we had was sold or left behind
From daddy's plow to the soup that momma canned
Some folks came to say farewell or see what all we had to sell
Some just came to shake my daddy's hand
That model A was loaded down and California bound
A change of luck was just four days away
But the only change that I remember seeing in my daddy
Was when his dark hair turned to silver gray
Refrain
California cotton fields
Where labor camps were filled with weary men with broken dreams
California cotton fields
Was close to wealth as daddy ever came
Quick outro

There's a big, brown cloud in the city
And the countryside's a sin
The price of life is too high to give up
It's gotta come down again
But worldwide war is over and done
And the dream of peace comes true
We'll all be drinkin' that free Bubble Up
And eatin' that rainbow stew
When they find out how to burn water
And the gasoline car is gone
When an airplane flies without any fuel
And the sunlight heats our home
But one of these days when the air clears up
And the sun comes shinin' through
We'll all be drinkin' that free Bubble Up
And eatin' that rainbow stew
2 beats
Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon
Underneath that sky of blue
We'll all be drinkin' that free Bubble Up
And eatin' that rainbow stew
Bridge/breakdown
(All right, Parky)You don't have to get high to get happy
Piano break
(Here comes Don)
Horn break
Just think about what's in store
When people start doin' what they oughta be doin'
Then they won't be booin' no more
When a President goes through the White House door
Does what he says he'll do
We'll all be drinkin' that free Bubble Up
And eatin' that rainbow stew
Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon
Underneath that sky of blue
We'll all be drinkin' that free Bubble Up
And eatin' that rainbow stew
Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon
Underneath that sky of blue
We'll all be drinkin' free Bubble Up
And eatin' that rainbow stew

The Timbercutter's song
Tired and hungry, thirsty and weak
I been a-cuttin' timber at the fork of the creek
I been a-cuttin' timber at the fork of the creek
Way down yonder on the Yankee banks
where the bullfrogs jump from bank to bank
there's a pretty little woman in a pine log shack
walkin' the floor till I get back
Store man store man cash my check
Have you got any beads for a lady's neck?
I need some tobacco and a fishin' line
Some bacon and beans and a jug of wine
Tired and hungry, thirsty and weak
I been a-cuttin' timber at the fork of the creek
I been a-cuttin' timber at the fork of the creek
Give me an ax and a real good file
Some talcum powder for the youngest child
A banjo string for my old grandpa
and kidney pills for my mother in law
The biggest timber that I ever did see
I stuck my ax in a virgin tree
It took three weeks to chop her down
The whole earth trembled when she hit the ground
Tired and hungry, thirsty and weak
I been a-cuttin' timber at the fork of the creek
I been a-cuttin' timber at the fork of the creek
When my sweet woman wears them pearls,
I get some smiles from the other girls.
But it won't do them gals no good.
Cause I'm a true-blue pecker-wood.
I need some rosin for my fiddle bow.
Some turpentine for my snake-bit toe.
I know that's more than my check will pay.
Could you loan me a dollar till the next pay day?
Tired and hungry, thirsty and weak
I been a-cuttin' timber at the fork of the creek
I been a-cuttin' timber at the fork of the creek
Fade-out
I been a-cuttin' timber at the fork of the creek
I been a-cuttin' timber at the fork of the creek
Tee nah nah
Tee nah nah, tee nah nah nah nah
Tee nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah
Tee nah nah nah nah nah nah, tee nah nah nah nah
I'm in love, with a married woman
But I'm afraid, to call her name
If I call her name I know, I'm gonna be in trouble
Oo-wee, oo-wee baby
Honey just look what ya, what you do to me
Oo-wee, oo-wee honey please
Tee nah nah, tee nah nah nah nah nah
Tee nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah
Tee nah nah nah nah nah nah, tee nah nah nah nah
Bridge
Oo-wee, oo-wee baby
Honey just look what, what you do to me
Oo-wee, oo-wee, honey please
I'm in love, with a married woman
But I'm afraid, to call her name
If I call her name I know, I'm gonna be in trouble
Tee nah nah, tee nah nah nah nah nah
Tee nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah
Tee nah nah nah nah nah nah, tee nah nah nah nah
Long outro
