Jack-A-Roe [Traditional]
There was a wealthy merchant,
in London he did dwell
He had a Beautiful daughter,
the truth to you we'll tell
Oh the truth to you we'll
tell
She had sweethearts a plenty,
and men of high degree
But none but Jack the sailor,
her true love ever be
Oh her true love ever be
Jackie's gone a sailing,
with trouble on his mind
He's left his native country
and his darling girl behind
Oh his darling girl behind
She went down to a tailor
shop and dressed in man's array
She climbed on board a vessel
to convey herself away
Oh convey herself away
Before you get on board sir,
your name we'd like to know
She smiled on her countenance,
they called me Jack-A-Roe
Oh they called me Jack-A-Roe
I see your waist is slender,
your fingers they are small
Your cheeks too red and
rosy to face the cannonball
Oh to face the cannonball
I know my waist's too slender,
my fingers they are small
But it would not make me
tremble to see ten thousand fall
Oh to see ten thousand fall
The war soon being over she
went and looked around
Among the dead and wounded
her darling boy she found
Oh her darling boy she found
She picked him up on in her
arms and carried him to the town
She sent for a physician
to quickly heal his wounds
Oh to quickly heal his wounds
This couple they got married
so well they did agree
This couple they got married
so why not you and me?
Oh why not you and me?
Oh why not you and me?
Jack Straw [Weir/Hunter]
We can share the women,
we can share the wine.
We can share what we got
of yours,
'Cause we done shared all
of mine.
Keep on rollin',
just a mile to go;
Keep on rollin' my old buddy,
you're movin' much too slow.
I just jumped the watchman,
right outside the fence.
Took his rings, four bucks
in change, ain't that heaven sent?
Hurts my ears to listen,
Shannon, burns my eyes to see.
Cut down a man in cold blood,
Shannon, might as well been me.
We used to play for silver,
now we play for life.
And one's for sport and
one's for blood at the point of a knife.
And now the die is shaken,
now the die must fall.
There ain't a winner in
the game, he don't go home with all.
Not with all.
Leavin' Texas, fourth day
out of July,
Sun so hot, the clouds so
low, the eagles filled the sky.
Catch the Detroit Lightnin'
out of Sante Fe,
The Great Northern out of
Cheyenne, from sea to shining sea.
Gotta go to Tulsa, first
train we can ride.
Gotta settle one old score,
one small point of pride.
There ain't a place a man
can hide, Shannon
Will keep him from the sun
Ain't a bed can give us
rest now, you keep us on the run.
Jack Straw from Wichita cut
his buddy down,
And dug for him a shallow
grave and laid his body down.
Half a mile from Tucson,
by the morning light,
One man gone and another
to go,
My old buddy you're moving
much too slow.
We can share the women, we
can share the wine.
Johnny B. Goode [Chuck Berry]
Deep down in Louisiana close
to New Orleans,
Way back in the woods among
the evergreens
There in an old cabin made
of earth and wood
There lived a country boy
named Johnny B. Goode.
He never learned to read
or write so well,
But he could play a guitar
like ringin' a bell.
Go go, go Johnny go, go;
go Johnny go, go;
go Johnny go, go; Go Johnny
go, go; Go Johnny B. Goode.
He used to carry his guitar
in a gunny sack,
Go sit up in the trees by
the railroad track.
The engineers seen him sittin'
in the shade
Strummin' to the rhythm
that the drivers made.
People passin' by would
stop and say
"My my, but that little
country boy can play!"
His mamma told him "Someday
you will be a man."
You will be the leader of
a big old band
Many people comin' from
miles around
To hear you play your music
when the sun goes down.
Maybe someday your name
will be in lights.
Johnny Too Bad [?]
Walking down the road with
a pistol in your waist
Johnny you're too bad
Walking down the road with
a ratchet in your waist
Johnny you're too bad
You're just robbing and
stabbing and looting and shooting
Now you're too bad
You're just robbing and
stabbing and looting and shooting
Now you're too bad
One of these days when you
hear a voice say come
Where you gonna run to
One of these days when you
hear a voice say come
Where you gonna run to
You gonna run to the rock
for rescue
There will be no rock
You gonna run to the rock
for rescue
There will be no rock

K.C. Road [Traditional]
Well, I thought I had heard
that diesel engine moan
Thought I heard that diesel

Well, she sound like she

When I get back on the KC

Keep On Growing [E.Clapton/B.Whitlock]
I was laughing, playing in
the streets,
I wasn't moving, I didn't
know my fate
Playing the game of life
was never really showing,
I thought love would wait
I was a young man and I
was sure to go astray
You walked right into my
life and told me
"Love would find a way"
Got to keep on growing,
Keep on going,
Keep on flowing, yeah, yeah,
yeah
I was standing looking in
the face of one who loved me,
Feeling so ashamed
Hoping and praying, Lord,
that she could understand me,
but I didn't know her name
She took my little hand
in hers and she told me I was wrong
She said "You're gonna be
alright boy, whoa,
Gonna take so long"
Got to keep on growing,
Keep on going,
Keep on flowing, yeah, yeah,
yeah
Baby, someday Baby, who knows
where or when girl,
Just you wait and see
We'll be walking hand in
hand alone as lovers,
Honest as can be
Time is gonna change us,
Lord, I know it's true
Our love is gonna keep on
growing
And growing is all we're
gonna do
All we're gonna do is
Keep on growing, Keep on
going,
Keep on flowing, yeah, yeah,
yeah
Keep on growing, Keep on
knowing,
Keep on flowing, yeah, yeah,
yeah
King Bee [J.Moore]
I'm a king bee buzzing around
your hive
Now I'm a king bee darling
buzzing around your hive
Yeah, I can make some honey
babe if you let me fly up inside
Cause I'm young and able
to buzz all night long
I'm young and able mama,
Lord to buzz all night long
And you know together we
can make some honey
Like the world ain't never
known
Cause I'm asking king bee,
won't you be my Queen
Now I'm a king bee rider,
won't you be my Queen
Because you know we can
make some sweet little honey
Like the world ain't never
seen
Drive your car up in my
driveway
Cut your bright lights way
down low
Drive your car up in my
driveway, mama
Cut your bright lights way
down low
I'm gonna wind up your transmission
Till your motor won't run
no more
Knockin' On Heaven's Door
[Dylan]
Come take this badge off
of me. I won't wear it anymore.
It's gettin' too dark to
see.
I think I must be knockin'
on Heaven's door.
[Chorus]
Knock, knock, knockin' on
Heaven's door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on
Heaven's door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on
Heaven's door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on
Heaven's door.
[Jam]
Come take these guns off
of me. I won't shoot them anymore.
The sun is setting over
me.
I feel like I'm knockin'
on Heaven's door.
[Chorus]
[Jam]
Come wipe these tears from
my eyes. I won't shed them anymore.
The sun is setting in Western/Eastern
skies.
And I feel like I must be
knockin' on Heaven's door.
[Chorus]
