Life Sentence
Well set me up boys we'll see who gets there quicker
I'll seek the ways now boys you fetch the liquor
She's waiting out yonder the news getting bigger,
the sun lights her face up She cuts a fine figure
The girl sets there waitin shes tempting in essence
But dont fall in love now its a life threatening sentence
Like lightnin she'll strike once in seconds its over,
You're heart she'll start breakin but its good to know her
In such ways of luv shes good at instruction,
but follow her leads a path of destruction
To catch her & hold her might be so delightful
She can slip thru your fingers like sand counting time will
New troubles a brewin I'll think for winner,
who casteth no stone is a big lyin sinner
The arms of that maiden are reachin for helpin
So shove off and keep up and tighten your beltin
Lets run on the water see who gets there soonerBy hand row or wind blow boys I'll take my schoonerThe drinking been started the time is a wasting, I'll settle no less for that sweet kiss i'm a tastingShe's danger ahead upon the horizon, now listen to me about this I'm aduisingshoulder ahead bend your backs keep trying, but I'll beat u ashore about that I aint lyinYou'll have better days & some that are not so, but dreaming of lovers is something you've got toSo take heed my boys & learn you a lesson, Love that mother raised you & gave you her blessinSo farewell my friends u know that good race is over, that girl from the shore's on my arm let me show yaPray for the day I'm judged for my bad senseI'll be fighting my way on thru that long life sentence
Lets run on the water see who gets there sooner
By hand row or wind blow boys I'll take my schooner
The drinking been started the time is a wasting,
I'll settle no less for that sweet kiss i'm a tasting
She's danger ahead upon the horizon,
now listen to me about this I'm aduising
shoulder ahead bend your backs keep trying,
but I'll beat u ashore about that I aint lyin
You'll have better days & some that are not so,
but dreaming of lovers is something you've got to
So take heed my boys & learn you a lesson,
Love that mother raised you & gave you her blessin
So farewell my friends u know that good race is over,
that girl from the shore's on my arm let me show ya
Pray for the day I'm judged for my bad sense
I'll be fighting my way on thru that long life sentence

Jimmie Come Knockin
Jimmie come knockin on my front door, said aint no jobs round here no more
I say thats ok, you gotta pay the rent,
you can always get bailed by the government
long as your barking up the money tree, it makes no difference to either party
sending jobs out across the sea, you know they got a plan for you & me
but when the cat & mouse make a deal for more
you can't take your eyes off the grocery store
so don't sit back & wring your hands, Don't trust those guys from uncle sam
so dress up high or dress down low, its saturday night where you want to go
we could take a walk down the pines, hook up the carriage, go for a ride
you're my sweetheart I want the world to know
I love you like there's no tomorrow
maybe take a boat out for a ride, make a little wish neath the starry sky
listen to the breeze as it goes past, I want this night to always last
stock market crash but it won't burn, govn't wants all the money you earn
spendin that money cuz they gone wild, scratchin my head like a lil lost child
throwing away prosperity & building a debt for posterity
neither rich nor poor but i got a smile,
we can make it alright by a country mile
you're my sober plum fairy, you're sweet as a dove, the worlds ok cuz i'm in luv
I love you like there's no tomorrow.

Dogsled Heroes
was in the winter 1925, the children had a chance to stay alive
they couldn't fly up with an airplane & yet they had a plan to save the day
now summers told em about seppala, they'd start the run down at nanana
600 miles thru the driving snow led by his dog that they called to go
they split up all the miles and they took their turns
from nanana to tolvanna then to johnny folger
from nine mile cabin on to whiskey creek, the blizzard kept a blowin minus 53
come on to go take them dogs & pull that sled
leonard always said you could use your head
to go led that team 250 miles, for 12 years old a senior dog he's just all smiles
Dr. Welch he spoke to Mayor Maynard, he hoped the dog teams could get this far
the snowstorm proved to be a huge white out,
& there's nothing they could do about
now kassan had a dog he called balto,but never let him lead him thru the snow
so kassan figured that he'd take the chance, let balto rise up to the circumstance
for 50 miles along the iditarod,
balto showed em how to do it when you get the nod
cause when they missed the drop off they was halfway home
he led his dog team all the way home, come on balto
take them dogs & pull that sled, they didn't think you'd use your head
come on balto lead em across the topkok river, you & kassan must deliver
so thanks to all the drivers who played a part,
& all the dog teams right from the start
their courage & valor are 2nd to none, cause balto & togo weren't the only ones

Biggest fan
Cant meet a girl at a picture show, fall in love and let it go
cant meet a girl walking down the street, make my heart skip a beat
aint met a girl, down on the farm,
got the style the moves, grace & charm
aint met a girl, I didnt see through
but that all changed, when I met you
never met a girl that does what you do
you changed my life SHE! when I met you
wont meet a girl in a dark backseat, stop a love affair, that I'd repeat
wont meet a girl or a second chance, a happy hour or an empty dance
cant meet a girl anyday in a park, make my list or top the chart
shes just a girl, dont want no uptown man,
luvs a dreamer thats what I am
now what it is your just part of my plan,
I'll meet you down on the corner
I'm your biggest fan, watch me prove it, theres nothing to it
I want you to myself, just noone else
Aint met a girl at the laundry mat
who could fold my jeans quite like you did that
never met a girl at a cold bus stop
that would pay my fare, & ride on top
just met a girl, who can sing the blues
play guitar and fill them shoes

Pardon me but I've seen you round here before
I turn my head when you came right through that door
I suppose in time I'll recollect your name

I'll take a guess your probably angry once again,
& tonight his bed you'll unattend
but choosing friends can really be so hard,
you cant cut new grass in your own backyard
well I tried to lay her down, she wouldnt let me,
I tried so hard to get her in the end
she told me she could never really love me
I told her you dont have to love me let's pretend
the thoughts of loving you go through my mind,
your just a woman of that certain kind
your finger nails should scratch right down my back
your the kind of girl, to put me back on track
I'll behave for you, if thats the way to start
you just tell me, I will play the part
I can feel your hands running through my hair
and the happiness you'd bring, just can't compare
well I tried to lay her down, she wouldn't let me
ok you win lets try this once again

Newsman

they find a way to not repay, they're free to live for another day

they running the town where they make the rules
wasting time with their legal tools
they wear their hat like a royal crown, if they go on they bring it down
if they go on obstructing justice

breaking the law like the other ones
I hope & pray for a better way, we can't hide, they won't go away

But let me tell me you something in my own defense
There's more to life than I see
