Texas. Tanya

 

When I die I may not go to heaven

I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boys
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been

New York couldn't hold my attention
Detroit City couldn't sing my song
If tomorrow finds me busted flat in Dallas
I won't care, 'cause at least I'll know I'm home

When I die I may not go to heaven
I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boys
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been

I'd ride through all of Hell and half of Texas
Just to hear Willie Nelson sing a country song
Beer just ain't as cold in old Milwaukee
My body's here, but my soul's in San Antone

When I die I may not go to heaven
Well I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boys
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been

When I die, well, I may not go to heaven
I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boys
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been

When I die, well, I may not go to heaven, no
I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been

When I die, well, I may not go to heaven, no
I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boys
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been

When I die well, I may not go to heaven, no
I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas
Texas is as close as I've been

When I die well, I may not go to heaven, no
I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been

When I die well, I may not go to heaven
I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go

Imagine redoing this old number in your style. Think of the tremendous harmony possibilities.

All the way to Jackson

I don't think I'll miss you much

Once I get to Lafayette
I'm not gonna mind one bit
Once I get to Lafayette
I'm not gonna mind one little bit

Once I get to Baton Rouge
I'm not gonna cry for you
Once I get to Baton Rouge
I'm not gonna cry for you my

All the way to Jackson
I don't think I'll miss you much
All the way to Jackson
I don't think I'll miss you much

Bridg

Once I get to Vicksburg

I don't think I'll feel an urge
Once I get to Vicksburg
I won't even feel an urge

All the way to Jackson
I don't think I'll miss you much
All the way to Jackson
I don't think I'll miss you much

Outro

All the way to Jackson
I don't think I'll miss you much

I shot the sheriff Clapton

fix garbled lyrics
(i shot the sheriff)
but I did not shoot the deputy

(I shot the sheriff) but I didn't shoot the deputy

All around in my home town
(i shot the sheriff) They're trying to track me down
They say they want to bring me in
For the killing of a deputy
For the life of a deputy, but I say
(i shot the sheriff) but I swear it was in self-defense

(I shot the sheriff) they say it is a capital offense
i say
For what I don't know
Every time that I plant a seed
he say kill it before it grows
kill it before it grows
but I swear it was in self-defense

(I shot the sheriff) but I swear it was in self-defense
Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town
All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down
So I shot, I shot him down, I say but I did not shoot the deputy

(I shot the sheriff) but I didn't shoot the deputy
Reflexes got the better of me
And what is to be must be
Every day the bucket goes to the well
One day the bottom will drop out
Yes, one day the bottom will drop out,
but I say

(I shot the sheriff) but I did not shoot no deputy, oh no
(I shot the sherif f) but I didn't shoot the deputy
All around in my home town
They're trying to track me down
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy
For the of a deputy, but I say
but I swear it was in self-defense


(I shot sheriff) they say it is a capital offense
Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what I don't know

Every time that I plant a seed
He said, "Kill it before it grows"
He said, "Kill it before it grows",

I say
but I swear it was in self-defense
(I shot the sheriff) but I swear it was in self-defense
Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town
All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down
So I shot, I shot him down, I say
but I did not shoot the deputy

(i shot the sheriff) but I didn't shoot the deputy
Reflexes got the better of me
And what is to be must be
Every day the bucket goes to the well
One day the bottom will drop out
Yes, one day the bottom will drop out, but I say
but I didn't shoot the deputy, oh no
(I shot the sheriff) but I did not shoot no deputy, oh no

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

(Mother-in-law), mother-in-law
(Mother-in=law), mother-in-law

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

(Mother-in-law), mother-in-law

If she'd leave us alone
We would have a happy home
Sent from down below

(Mother-in-law), mother-in-law
(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
