I'll Be Your Baby Tonight
(Bob Dylan)
Lead Singer: Billy
Close your eyes, close the door,
You don't have to worry any more.
Cuz I'll be your baby tonight.
Shut that light, shut the shade,
Ah you don't have to be afraid.
Cuz I'll be your baby tonight.
Well, that mockingbird's gonna sail away,
Ah we're gonna forget it.
That big, fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon,
We gonna let it,
You won't regret it.
Kick your shoes off, do not fear,
Bring that bottle over here.
And I'll be your baby tonight.
Well, that old mockingbird's gonna sail away,
Yeah we're gonna forget it.
Ah that big, fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon,
We gonna let it,
You won't regret it.
Kick your shoes off, do not fear,
Bring that bottle over here.
And I'll be your baby tonight.
I be your baby tonight.

Devil Woman
(Marty Robbins)
Lead Singer: Billy
I told Mary about us
I told her about a great sin
Mary cried and forgave me
Mary took me back again
Said if I wanted my freedom
I could be free ever more
But I don't want to be
I don't want to see
Mary cry anymore
Oh devil woman
Devil woman let go of me
Devil woman let me be
And leave me alone
I want to go home
Devil woman is evil
Like the dark coral reef
Like the winds that bring high tide
You bring sorrow and grief
Made me afraid to face Mary
I barely have the strength to tell
Skies are not so black
Mary took me back
Mary has broken your spell
Oh devil woman
Devil woman let go of me
Devil woman let me be
And leave me alone
I want to go home
Mary is waiting and weeping
Down in our shack by the sea
Even after I hurt her
Mary's still in love with me
Devil woman it's over
Trapped no more by your charm
I want to get away
I just can't stay
Woman let go of my arms
Oh devil woman
Devil woman let go of me
Devil woman let me be
And leave me alone
Oh take me home now
Running along by the seashore
I'm running as fast as I can
Even the seagulls are happy
Glad I'm coming home again
Never more will I ever
Cause another tear to fall
Down the beach I see
What belongs to me
The one I want most of all
Oh devil woman
Devil woman let go of me
Devil woman let me be
And leave me alone
I want to go home
Oh devil woman
Devil woman let go of me
Devil woman let me be
And leave me alone
I going back home

Long Gone Lonesome Blue
(Hank Williams)
Lead Singer: Steve or Tim
I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by
Well I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die..., Oh Lord!
Well I jumped in the river, but the doggone river was dry
And she's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
Well, I had me a woman who wouldn't be true
She played me for my money and she made me blue
A man needs a woman that he can lean on
But my leanin' post is just up and gone
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue
I'm gonna find me a river, one that's cold as ice
And when I find me that river, you know I'm gonna pay the price, Oh Lord!
I'm goin' down in it three times, but Lord I'm only comin up twice
And she's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue
She told me on Sunday she was checkin' me out
Long about Monday she was nowhere about
And here it is Tuesday, ain't got no news
I got them long but not forgotten blues
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue

Mississippi Saxophone
(Steve Pineo)
Lead Singer: Steve
I know a throw back man
His name is Lee Domerrow
Well back in Tuskaloosa he was famous long ago
Every Saturday night he's going to shake it in the nursing home
In his easy chair blowing on a Mississippi Saxaphone
He's round up but he's living on borrowed time
Though his hands are shaky, his mind is still working fine
He's go a ?? and a santified silver tongue
But he really gets going on a Mississippi Saxaphone
He plays the harp like a ??? in the fifth degree
Step right up, it really is a site to see
And if you close your eyes
It's like sitting at the jamboree
???
??? lay down on the floor.
And you'll sit down and listen to maybe 20 more
He does a poor boys blues and a lonesome man alone
With a poor boys listen to the Mississippi Saxophone
He plays the harp like a ??? in the fifth degree
Step right up, it really is a site to see
And if you close your eyes
It's like sitting at the jamboree
??? rainy day
It's like a freight train coming from 57 miles away
And everybody's bright and sunny at the Sunnyside Nursing home
When he wraps ??? around a Mississippi Saxophone
He plays the harp like a ??? in the fifth degree
Step right up, it really is a site to see
And if you close your eyes
It's like sitting at the jamboree
And if you close your eyes
It's like sitting at the jamboree

What's wrong with me?
I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree
My friends say I'm actin' wild as a bug

My tongue get tied when I try to speak
My insides shake like a leaf on a tree
There's only one cure for this body of mine
That's to have the girl that I love so fine!

Her lips are like a vulcano that's hot
I'm proud to say she's my buttercup
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Aoooh, aoooh, yeah!

Too Bad For Me
(Steve Pineo)
Lead Singer: Steve
Too bad for me
Fell in love with you
Too bad for me
Cause nothing I can do
But hide the hurt
Hold it fast
It was too good to last
Too bad for me
Too bad for you
You didn't mean to flirt
Too bad for you
You didn't need the hurt
But you did what you did
And you can't keep it hid
Too bad for you
Sad stories, I have many
They ain't even worth a three-penny opera
But if you wish to grieve
For the one you believe
Well I ain't stoppin' ya
No, I ain't stoppin' ya
Too bad for us
The angels let us down
Too bad for us
We got off that merry-go-round
Feeling tired, feeling sick
Feeling cut to the quick
Too bad for us
Well you know that I appreciate
Your trying to alleviate your suffering
But if a token would suffice
Then be aware of the price of the offering
No I ain't offering
Too bad for me
Fell in love with you
Too bad for me
Cause nothing I can do
But hide the hurt
Hold it fast
It was too good to last
Too bad for me

The Fool Is The Last One To Know
(Bill Cowsill/Ralph Boyd Johnson)
Lead Singer: Billy
I'm just a working man
And I've done all that I can
To keep you in your ribbons and your bows
Talk gets around
In a small country town
Where the fool is the last one to know
It takes a fool to do the things I do
Have to be a fool, a fool like me
To be so in love with you
Felt your touch was growing cold
Is there someone that you hold
Lights die out when you're alone
Who's that so and so
Darling who's your Romeo
Oh the fool is the last one to know
It takes a fool to do the things I do
Have to be a fool, a fool like me
To be so in love with you
Felt your touch was growing cold
Is there someone that you hold
Lights die out you're alone
Who's that so and so
Darling who's your Romeo
Oh the fool is the last one to know
It takes a fool to do the things I do
Have to be a fool, a fool like me
To be so in love with you
Yeah, talk gets around
In a small country town
Where the fool is the last one to know
I guess the fool is the last one to know
Yes I'm the fool and I'm the last one to know

Out Of Time
(Mick Jagger/Keith Richards)
Lead Singer: Billy
You don't know what's going on
You've been away for far too long
You can't come back thinking you're still first in line
You're out of touch, my baby
My poor old uncertain baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Leaves you are all left out
Out of there without a doubt now
Baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You used to be a simple girl
Giving up your social world
But you can't come back
Telling everybody you're still mine
You're obsolete my baby
My poor disgarded baby
I said baby, baby, baby you're out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You are left out
Out of there without a doubt
Baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You're way out of time baby
You don't know what's going on
Been away for far too long
You can't come back thinking you're still the first in line
But you're out of touch, my baby
My poor uncertain baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes you are left out
Out of there without a doubt now
Baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, you're out of time
Well baby, baby, you're out of time

Far Away Eyes
(Mick Jagger/Keith Richards)
Lead Singer: Steve or Tim
I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station
And the preacher said, "You know you always have the
Lord by your side"
Well I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
Twenty red lights in his honor
Thank you Jesus, thank you lord
I had an arranged to meet a girl, well I was kind of late
And I thought by the time I got there
She'd be off with the nearest truck driver she could find
Well much to my surprise, there she was sittin in the corner
A little bleary, worse for wear and tear
Was a girl with far away eyes
So if you're down on your luck
And you can't harmonize
Get a girl with far away eyes
And if you're downright disgusted
And life ain't worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes
Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send
Ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of Jesus
Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California
And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio
And all my dreams would come true
So I did, and next week, well I got a prayer for a girl
Well, you know what kind of eyes she got
So if you're down on your luck
And you can't harmonize
Get a girl with far away eyes
And if you're downright disgusted
And life ain't worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes
And if you're down on your luck
I know we all sympathize
To the girl with far away eyes

Secret Agent Man
(P.F. Sloan/Barrie)
Lead Singer: Billy
There’s a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes another chance he takes
Odds are he won’t live to see tomorrow
Chorus:
Secret Agent Man
Secret Agent Man
Whose giving you a number and taken’ away your name
Ah beware of pretty faces that you find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
With every move he make another chance he take
Odds are he won’t live to see tomorrow
Chorus x 2
I was laying on the Riviera one day
And then later down in Bombay on a jet plane
Be careful who you grip
Or you'll let the robber slip
The odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow
Chorus
Secret Agent Man

Vagabond
(Billy Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Billy
Vagabond you'll never settle down
Spinning your wheels like an endless merry-go-round
You don't have a place that you can call a home
You're a vagabond, drifting like a rolling stone
You had a woman's love but everything went wrong
It just up and died and now you sing a different song
Like a wayward wind, a child of the underground
You're a vagabond, you'll never settle down
Just like a freight train hobo, riding on an endless rail
There's a place to sleep every now and then
It's usually at the county jail
Vagabond you'll never settle down
Keep spinning your wheels like an endless merry-go-round
You don't have a love that you can call your own
You're a vagabond, drifting like a rolling stone
Like a freight train hobo, riding on an endless rail
There's a place to sleep every now and then
It's usually at the county jail
Vagabond you'll never settle down
Keep spinning your wheels like an endless merry-go-round
You don't have a place that you can call a home
You're a vagabond, drifting like a rolling stone
Like a rolling stone
Like a rolling stone

Bye Bye Johnny
(Chuck Berry)
Lead Singer: Steve or Tim
She drew out her money out of the Southern Trust
And put her little boy on a Greyhound Bus
Leaving Louisiana for the Golden West
The tears came down from her happiness
Her own little son name 'o Johnny B. Goode
Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood
Bye, bye, bye, bye
I say bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye Johnny B.
Good bye Johnny B. Goode
She never spent her money after gathering crop
She bought herself a spritzer at the soda shop
As long as he would play it by the railroad side
And wouldn't get in trouble she was satisfied
Never thought you'd see a single day like this
When that devil saw the goodby kiss
Saying bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye Johnny
Good bye Johnny B. Goode
She finally got the letter she was dreaming of
Johnny wrote and told her monna I fall in love
As soon as he was married he would bring her back
And build a mansion for 'em by the railroad track
So every time they heard the locomotive engine roar
They'd be a' standin', smilin' by the kitchen door
Saying
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye Johnny
Good bye Johnny B. Goode
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye Johnny
Good bye Johnny B. Goode
