I would try my finger and I would try my hand
Ik zou mijn vinger proberen en ik zou mijn hand proberen
At any fool game in this man's land
Bij elk dwaas spel in het land van deze man
But don't you talk about this-a friend of mine,
Maar praat hier niet over, een vriend van mij,
I ain't never been let down and you'd be wastin' time.
Ik ben nog nooit in de steek gelaten en jij zou tijd verspillen.
I would scratch and steal, I would maim a man,
Ik zou krabben en stelen, ik zou een man verminken,
I would even run the bounty across the other country,
Ik zou de premie zelfs door het andere land laten lopen,
So don't you talk about this here friend of mine,
Dus praat hier niet over, vriend van mij,
I gave it all of my money, but it makes me feel fine.
Ik heb er al mijn geld aan gegeven, maar het geeft me een goed gevoel.
Yeah, I know you won't give me no peace of mind,
Ja, ik weet dat je me geen gemoedsrust geeft,
Try to understand I just wanna feel good all the time.
Probeer te begrijpen dat ik me altijd goed wil voelen.
Don't you talk about a dear old friend of mine,
Praat niet over een dierbare oude vriend van mij,
Well, I know that you are sweet and more than double fine.
Nou, ik weet dat je lief bent en meer dan dubbel goed.
Everybody said you oughta marry that rich man down the line,
Iedereen zei dat je later met die rijke man moest trouwen
But if I had to make a choice I wouldn't change my mind.
Maar als ik een keuze zou moeten maken, zou ik niet van gedachten veranderen.
Honey, you just ain't as sweet as my strawberry wine,
Schat, je bent gewoon niet zo zoet als mijn aardbeienwijn,
Oh no, no no no no no no no no, no no no no no no no no.
Oh nee, nee nee nee nee nee nee nee nee, nee nee nee nee nee nee nee nee.
Yeah, You caught me when I's down a-sleepin' in the park,
Ja, je hebt me betrapt toen ik in het park aan het slapen was,
Climbin' up the walls and laughin' in the dark.
De muren beklimmen en lachen in het donker.
But I heard you been talkin' about a dear old friend of mine,
Maar ik hoorde dat je het had over een dierbare oude vriend van mij,
Never tasted anything as sweet as my strawberry wine,
Nog nooit zoiets zoets geproefd als mijn aardbeienwijn,
No, no no no no no, no no no no no no no no,
Nee, nee nee nee nee nee, nee nee nee nee nee nee nee nee,
No, no no no no no no no.
Nee, nee nee nee nee nee nee nee.

Intro: F/C C, Eb/Bb Bb, Bb/F F
For the life we chose in the evening we rose,
Voor het leven dat we kozen in de avond dat we opstonden,
just long enough to be lovers again.
net lang genoeg om weer geliefden te zijn.
And for nothing more, the world was too sore
En voor niets meer was de wereld te pijnlijk
To live in.
Om in te wonen.
Sad old ships,
Trieste oude schepen,
A morning eclipse,
Een ochtendverduistering,
I spent my whole life guessing,
Ik heb mijn hele leven geraden,
Then I turned from the sun
Toen keerde ik mij van de zon af
And saw everyone
En zag iedereen
Searching.
Zoeken.
The hoot owl and his song, will bring you along
De krasuil en zijn lied nemen je mee
Where else on earth would you wanna go?
Waar zou je anders op aarde heen willen?
We can leave all this hate, before it's too late
We kunnen al deze haat achterlaten, voordat het te laat is
Why would we wanna come back at all?
Waarom zouden we überhaupt terug willen komen?
Cobwebs on my pillow,
Spinnenwebben op mijn kussen,
I'm found in the willow,
Ik ben gevonden in de wilg,
I'd spend my whole life sleeping.
Ik zou mijn hele leven slapend doorbrengen.
To be called by noon
Wordt tegen de middag gebeld
Is to be called too soon
Wordt te vroeg gebeld
Today.
Vandaag.
The storm is passed,
De storm is voorbij,
There is peace at last,
Er is eindelijk vrede,
I'll spend my whole life sleeping.
Ik zal mijn hele leven slapend doorbrengen.
Now there's not a sound,
Nu is er geen geluid,
No one to be found
Niemand te vinden
Anywhere.
Overal.
The shepherd and his sheep
De herder en zijn schapen
Will wind you to sleep,
Zal je in slaap winden,
Where else on earth would you wanna go ?
Waar zou je anders op aarde heen willen?
To a land of wonder
Naar een land van verwondering
When you go under,
Wanneer je ten onder gaat,
Why would we want to come back at all ?
Waarom zouden we überhaupt terug willen komen?

The many roads I've covered,
De vele wegen die ik heb afgelegd,
The many trails I've burned,
De vele paden die ik heb verbrand,
But when our paths did cross, love, whew!
Maar toen onze paden elkaar kruisten, liefje, wauw!
My whole world made a turn.
Mijn hele wereld maakte een draai.
And we've got time to kill,
En we hebben tijd om te doden,
What a thrill,
Wat een spanning,
June and July.
Juni en juli.
We've got all our love,
We hebben al onze liefde,
Buckets of,
Emmers van,
The tears that we cried.
De tranen die we huilden.
Now we don't cry no more,
Nu huilen we niet meer,
Gonna bolt the door.
Ik ga de deur op slot doen.
Don't know what we've got,
Ik weet niet wat we hebben,
But it feels like a lot,
Maar het voelt als veel,
We don't need no more.
Meer hebben we niet nodig.
When my day's work is done
Als mijn werkdag erop zit
We can take in a jamboree,
We kunnen een jamboree meenemen,
But I just wanna sit down by the fire
Maar ik wil gewoon bij het vuur zitten
With my love right here beside me.
Met mijn liefde hier naast mij.
We've got time to kill,
We hebben tijd om te doden,
Catskill,
Catskill,
Sweet by and by.
Zoet door en door.
We've got all our love,
We hebben al onze liefde,
The sky above,
De lucht erboven,
The twinkle in your eye.
De twinkeling in je ogen.
Now where the wheel might roll
Nu waar het wiel zou kunnen rollen
Is where my love and I shall go.
Is waar mijn liefde en ik heen zullen gaan.
We're gonna plant the seed,
We gaan het zaadje planten,
There ain't nothing we need,
Er is niets dat we nodig hebben,
We found our own rainbow.
We hebben onze eigen regenboog gevonden.
My love wants to have her fortune read
Mijn lief wil dat haar fortuin wordt gelezen
And I know that she's in a hurry.
En ik weet dat ze haast heeft.
If we go along the straight and narrow,
Als we langs het rechte en smalle pad gaan,
You don't even have to worry.
Je hoeft je niet eens zorgen te maken.
We've got time to kill,
We hebben tijd om te doden,
Standin' still,
Sta stil,
Go on, give it a try!
Ga door, probeer het eens!
We've got all our love,
We hebben al onze liefde,
Mountains of,
Bergen van,
The trees are so high.
De bomen zijn zo hoog.
We don't need no big car,
We hebben geen grote auto nodig,
Don't eat no caviar.
Eet geen kaviaar.
When we come to rest
Als we tot rust komen
We take to the nest
We gaan naar het nest
You know where we are.
Je weet waar we zijn.

Intro:
Inleiding:
To all concerned dead or alive
Aan alle betrokkenen, dood of levend
The locomotive will arrive
De locomotief komt eraan
Bringin' souls from all around,
Zielen van overal brengen,
They'll be bound for higher ground.
Ze zullen op weg zijn naar hoger gelegen gebieden.
Look out, stranger, it's comin' through
Pas op, vreemdeling, het komt eraan
With plenty of room for me and you.
Met voldoende ruimte voor mij en jou.
And it's just another whistle stop
En het is gewoon een ander
If you don't quit till we reach the top
I'd be much obliged to you
Odd man out,
You know that's the rule.
You can scream and you can shout,
But they'll only call you a crazy fool.
Pay no mind to what they say
D# G# Am Bb G Back to intro at the C
When they're `bitter they talk that way
I seen a young boy on the run
And I seen other children havin' fun.
A police siren flashing light,
I wonder who went down tonight.
People, people, where do you go
before you believe in what you know ?
It's just another whistle stop,
If you don't quit till we reach the top
I'd be much obliged to you.
When the trolley is clean out of reach,
A certain lesson it will teach.
To grind your ax until it's dull,
You've got to get it in your skull.
Tell the people all across the sea
Don't turn your back because it's free.
It's just another whistle stop,
If you don't quit till we reach the top
I'd, I'd be much obliged to you.
And it's odd man out,
You know that's the rule.
You can scream and you can shout,
But they'll only call you a crazy fool.
Pay no mind to what you read,
There's one way home that's guaranteed.

I wanna hear pitter patter
Climb up your ladder now
It's time for you to dream away,
For what a big day you've been through.
-bass
You've done all the things that you wanted to do.
ass
All la glory, I'm second story,
Feel so tall like a prison wall.
I'm lookin' for a star bright
To shine down your light now
And keep the little one safe and warm,
'Cause to her it's just a fantasy
And to me it's all a mystery.
All la glory, I'm second story,
Feel so tall like a prison wall.
-bass
And before the leaves all turn brown,
-bass
Before they fall to the ground,
You will find the harmony,
Wait and see.
Listen to the serenade,
Little girl, promenade now.
You've got the sunshine in your hand
And maybe come some sweet day
You'll walk that Milky Way.
All la glory, I'm second story,
Feel so tall like a prison wall,
-bss -basss
That tall
Track 6. The Shape I'm In

For an analysis of the lyrics, and more, see D L Lewis' article on "Shape I'm In".
Go out yonder, peace in the valley
Come downtown, have to rumble in the alley
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
Has anybody seen my lady
This living alone will drive me crazy
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
(ass)
I'm gonna go down by the wa - ter
bass)
But I ain't gonna jump in, no, no
(ass)
I'll just be looking for my mak - er
And I hear that that's where she's been? Oh!
Out of nine lives, I spent seven
Now, how in the world do you get to Heaven
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
I just spent 60 days in the jailhouse
For the crime of having no dough
Now here I am back out on the street
For the crime of having nowhere to go
Save your neck or save your brother
Looks like it's one or the other
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
Now two young kids might start a ruckus
You know they feel you trying to shuck us
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
Track 7. W.S. Walcott Medicine Show
by J.R.Robertson. Album: Stage Fright
1970 Canaan Music, Inc.
Verse:
When your arms are empty, got no where to go
Come on out and catch the show
There'll be saints and sinners you'll see losers and winners
All kinds of people you might want to know
Once you get it, You can't forget it,
W.S. Walcott Medicine Show
You know he always holds it in a tent,
And if you're looking for the real thing,
He can show you where it went.
There's a young faith healer he's a woman stealer
He will cure by his command
When the music's hot you might have to stand
To hear the Klondike Klu Klux steamboat band
Don't you sweat it You can't forget it
W.S. Walcott Medicine Show
I'd rather die happy than not die at all
And a man is a fool who will not heed the call
Gonna see Miss Brer Foxhole(*) she's got diamonds in her teeth
She is real gold down underneath
She's a rock and roll singer and a true dead ringer
For something like you ain't never seen
Once you get it, You can't forget it

Track 8. Daniel and the Sacred Harp
by J.R.Robertson. Album: Stage Fright
1970 Canaan Music, Inc.
See Peter Viney's article for more about this song.
Chorus:
Daniel, Daniel and the sacred harp,
Dancing through the clover.
Daniel, Daniel would you mind,
If I look it over.
Verse:
I heard of this famous harp years ago back in my home town
But I sure never thought old Daniel be the one to come and bring it around
Tell me Daniel how the harp came into your posession.
Are you one of the chosen few who will march in the procession?
and Daniel said:
The sacred harp was handed down, from father unto son,
And me not being related, I could never be the one.
So I saved up all my silver, and took it to a man,
Who said he could deliver the harp, straight into my hand.
Three years I waited patiently,
'Till he returned with the harp from the sea of Galilee.
He said there is one more thing I must ask,
But not of personal greed.
But I wouldn't listen I just grabbed the harp,
And said take what you may need.
Now Daniel looked quite satisfied, and the harp it seemed to glow.
But the price that Daniel had really paid, he did not even know.
Back to his brother he took his troubled mind.
And he said dear brother I'm in a bind.
But the brother would not hear his tale,
he said Old Daniel's gonna land in jail.
So to his father Daniel did run,
And he said oh father what have I done.
His father said son you've given in, you know you won your harp,
But you lost in sin.
Then Daniel took the harp and went high on the hill,
And he blew across the meadow like a whippoorwhill.
He played out his heart just the time to pass,
But as he looked to the ground, he noticed no shadow did he cast.
Repeat Chorus
Track 9. Stage Fright
by J.R.Robertson. Album: Stage Fright
1970 Canaan Music, Inc.
Now deep in the heart of a lonely kid
Em(G bass) D C Single notes: B D#
Who suffered so much for what he did,
They gave this ploughboy his fortune and fame,
Em(G bass) D C Single notes: B D
Since that day he ain't been the same.
See the man with the stage fright
( bass)
Just standin' up there to give it all his might.
And he got caught in the spotlight,
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again.
I've got fire water right on my breath
And the doctor warned me I might catch a death.
Said, "You can make it in your disguise,
Just never show the fear that's in your eyes."
See the man with the stage fright,
Just standin' up there to give it all his might.
He got caught in the spotlight,
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again.
Now if he says that he's afraid,
Take him at his word.
And for the price that the poor boy has paid,
C C#o D Eb Em
He gets to sing just like a bird, oh, ooh ooh ooh.
Your brow is sweatin' and your mouth gets dry,
Fancy people go driftin' by.
The moment of truth is right at hand,
Just one more nightmare you can stand.
See the man with the stage fright
Just standin' up there to give it all his might.
And he got caught in the spotlight,
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again, hmm hmm,
You wanna try it once again, hmm hmm,
Please don't make him stop, hmm hmm,
Let him take it from the top, hmm hmm,
Let him start all over again
Track 10. The Rumor
by J.R.Robertson. Album: Stage Fright
1970 Canaan Music, Inc.
Now when the rumor comes to your town,
It grows and grows, where it started no one knows.
Some of your neighbors will invite it right in,
Maybe it's a lie, even if it's a sin,
They'll repeat the rumor again.
Close your eyes, hang down your head
Until the fog blows away, let it roll away.
Open up your arms and feel the good,
It's a-comin', a brand new day, hmm hmm.
Big men, little men turned into dust,
Maybe it was all in fun, they didn't mean to ruin no one.
Could there be someone, someone here among this crowd
Who's been accused, had his name so misused
And his privacy refused ?
Close your eyes, hang your head
Until the fog blows away, let it roll away,
Open up your arms and feel the good,
It's a-comin', a brand new day,
Hmm.. no, no, no.
Now all you vigilantes wanna make a move,
Maybe they won't, you know I sure hope they don't.
For whether this rumor proves true or false,
You can forgive or you can regret,
But he will never ever forget.
Close your eyes, hang down your head,
Until the fog blows away, let it roll away.
Open up your arms and feel the good,
It's a-comin', a brand new day,
Hmm, la la la la la,
Oh oh la la la la la.
