Gone 03:39
lyrics

Laughing in the summertime and drinking in the fall I once loved a dark haired girl but our romance stalled Her old man's got a shotgun and it ain't pointed at the sky And I don't know if I can get away but I'm still going to try I'm on my own, own, own leaving home I'm gone, gone, gone what can I say If I don't, don't leave here tomorrow It just means that I left today I felled trees in the great north woods for $50 a day But the calling of the city lights led my mind to stray Some men dream of fancy things and others do not care I just want two little kids with their mother's hair I'm on my own, own, own leaving home I'm gone, gone, gone what can I say If I don't, don't leave here tomorrow It just means that I left today Some men have dreams of riches I have nightmares of dying alone I just want to find some land I can turn into my home Don't want to spend my life rambling around never growing roots But I'm sure that's hard to see 'cause I'm always on the move I'm on my own, own, own leaving home I'm gone, gone, gone what can I say If I don't, don't leave here tomorrow It just means that I left today So I'll drink wine in the winter-time and liquor all year round And I'll ramble on so god damn fast my feet won't touch the ground I'm on my own, own, own leaving home I'm gone, gone, gone what can I say If I don't, don't leave here tomorrow It just means that I left today And I don't, don't leave here tomorrow It just means that I left today

I'm going down Cripple Creek going on a run Going down Cripple Creek to have some fun Going down Cripple Creek going on a run Going down Cripple Creek to have some fun I got a gal and she loves me She's as sweet as sweet can be She's got eyes of baby blue Makes my gun shoot straight and true I'm going down Cripple Creek going on a run Going down Cripple Creek to have some fun Going down Cripple Creek going on a run Going down Cripple Creek to have some fun Cripple Creek's wide and Cripple Creek's deep I'll wade in Cripple Creek before I sleep Roll my britches to my knees Wade in Cripple Creek when I please I'm going down Cripple Creek going on a run Going down Cripple Creek to have some fun Going down Cripple Creek going on a run Going down Cripple Creek to have some fun The girls up on Cripple Creek about half grown Jump on the boys like a dog on a bone Kiss 'em on the cheek, sweet as any wine Wrap 'emselves around you like a watermelon vine I'm going down Cripple Creek going on a run Going down Cripple Creek to have some fun Going down Cripple Creek going on a run Going down Cripple Creek to have some fun Cripple Creek's wide and Cripple Creek's nice Cripple Creek gets as cold as ice The hills are steep the road is muddy And I'm so drunk I'm walking funny I'm going down Cripple Creek going on a run Going down Cripple Creek to have some fun Going down Cripple Creek going on a run Going down Cripple Creek to have some fun

We'll sail for 10,000 miles We'll sail for 10,000 more We'll drink and we'll fight and we'll sail all night We'll sail for 10,000 miles We'll tack through a thousand more storms We'll tack through a thousand storms more Heave ho through the day and the devil will pay We'll tack through a thousand more storms We'll sail for 10,000 miles We'll sail for 10,000 more We'll drink and we'll fight and we'll sail all night We'll sail for 10,000 miles We'll starve for 50 more leagues We'll starve for 50 leagues more We've been chewing our boots, sipping salt water soup We'll starve for 50 more leagues We'll sail for 10,000 miles We'll sail for 10,000 more We'll drink and we'll fight and we'll sail all night We'll sail for 10,000 miles We'll thirst through one more watch We'll thirst through one watch more We've been drinking our piss and we'll have no more of this We'll thirst through one watch more And now the ship is all ours The ship is no longer yours We'll keep you alive lest another man dies The ship is no longer yours, SIR We'll sail for 10,000 miles We'll sail for 10,000 more We'll drink and we'll fight and we'll sail all night We'll sail for 10,000 miles Sail for 10,000 miles Sail for 10,000 miles

Johnny 04:31
lyrics

They said go kill Johnny They said go kill Johnny They said go kill Johnny So that's what I done Born in a coal mine In the Appalachian hillside In western Pennsylvania North of the dixie line I never hurt no-one Just minded my business Working my land And drinking my wine Until one day A man came walking Down the roadside A rifle in his hand He said old Abe Lincoln Needs a small favor He needs the help of Every strong man He said go kill Johnny He said go kill Johnny He said go kill Johnny And he gave me his gun He said go kill Johnny He said go kill Johnny He said go kill Johnny And he gave me his gun I went to Carolina Saw the hills of Kentucky I watched the Manassas Run red with blood I hated the enemy I hated their banner And I hated myself For what I had become I feared for my life I feared being called a coward My fear is where all of my Hatred came from He said go kill Johnny He said go kill Johnny He said go kill Johnny So that's what I've done He said go kill Johnny He said go kill Johnny He said go kill Johnny So that's what I've done
