down in the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way !
O sisters let’s go down,
Let’s go down, come on down,
O sisters let’s go down,
Down in the river to pray.
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way !
O brothers let’s go down,
Let’s go down, come on down,
Come on brothers let’s go down,
Down in the river to pray.
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way !
O fathers let’s go down,
Let’s go down, come on down,
O fathers let’s go down,
Down in the river to pray.
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way !
O mothers let’s go down,
Let’s go down, don’t you want to go down,
Come on mothers let’s go down,
Down in the river to pray.
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way !
O sinners let’s go down,
Let’s go down, come on down,
O sinners let’s go down,
Down in the river to pray.
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way !
hello walls
Hello walls (hello hello) how things go for you today
Don’t you miss her since she upped and walked away
And I’ll bet you dread to spend another lonely night with me
But lonely walls I’ll keep you company
Hello window (hello hello) well I see that you’re still here
Aren’t you lonely since our darling disappeared
Well look here is that a teardrop in the corner of your pane
Now don’t you try to tell me that it’s rain
She went away and left us all alone the way she planned
Yes we’ll have to learn to get along without her if we can
Hello ceiling (hello hello) I’m gonna stare at you a while
You know I can’t sleep so won’t you bear with me awhile
We must all stick together or else I’ll lose my mind
I’ve got a feeling she’ll be gone a long long time (hello hello)

crying time
Oh, it’s cryin’ time again, you’re gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin’ Oooh
That it won’t be long before it’s cryin’ time
Now they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder (fonder)
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
Well my love for you could never grow no stronger (stronger)
If I lived to be a hundred years old
Oh, it’s cryin’ time again, you’re gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin’. Yeah now
That it won’t be long before it’s cryin’ time
Now you say you’ve found someone that you love better (better)
That’s the way it’s happened every time before
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow (‘morrow)
Cryin’ time will start when you walk out the door
Oh, it’s cryin’ time again, you’re gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin’. Alright now
That it won’t be long before it’s cryin’ time
(That it won’t be long before it’s cryin’ time)
bang bang
I was five and He was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black, and I wore white
He would always win the fight
Bang bang, you shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
Seasons came and changed the time
And I grew up, I called him mine
You would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play
Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down
Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang
Hey, Hey, Hey
Now he’s gone, I don’t know why
Until this day sometimes cry
He didn’t even say good-bye
He didn’t take the time to lie
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
bang bang
I was five and he was six
we rode on horses made of sticks
he wore black and I wore white
he would always win the fight
bang, bang
he shot me down
bang, bang
I hit the ground
bang, bang
that awful sound, bang bang, my baby shot me down.
seasons came and changed the time, when I grew up I called him mine
he would always laugh and say remember when
we used to play bang bang I shot you down bang
bang you I hit the ground bang bang that awful sound
bang bang I used to shoot you down
music played and people sang
just for me the church bells rang
now he’s gone I don’t know why
and to this day sometimes I cry
he didn’t even say goodbye he didn’t take the time to lie
bang, bang
he shot me down, bang bang
I hit the ground
bang, bang that awful sound, bang bang
my baby shot me down.
talkin` `bout the revolution
Don`t you know
They`re talkin` `about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don`t you know
They`re talkin` `bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
While they`re standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion
Don`t you know
They`re talkin` `bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what`s theirs
Don`t you know You better run, run, run…
Oh it said you better run, run, run…
Cause finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin` `bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin` `bout a revolution oh no
Talkin` `bout a revolution oh
While they`re standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion
Don`t you know
They`re talkin` `bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
And finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin` `bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin` `bout a revolution oh no
Talkin` `bout a revolution oh no
Talkin bout a revolution oh no
sorry (baby, can I hold you)
Sorry
Is all that you can’t say
Years gone by and still
Words don’t come easily
Like sorry like sorry
Forgive me
Is all that you can’t say
Years gone by and still
Words don’t come easily
Like forgive me forgive me
But you can say baby
Baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
At the right time you’d be mine
[Baby Can I Hold You lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]
I love you
Is all that you can’t say
Years gone by and still
Words don’t come easily
Like I love you I love you
But you can say baby
Baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
At the right time you’d be mine
Baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
At the right time you’d be mine
You’d be mine
You’d be mine
have you ever seen the rain
Someone told me long ago
There’s a calm before the storm, I know
And it’s been coming for some time
When it’s over, so they say
It’ll rain a sunny day, I know
Shining down like water
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day
Yesterday and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard, I know
Been that way for all my time
‘Til forever on it goes
Thru the circle fast and slow, I know
And it can’t stop, I wonder
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day
the piano has been drinking
The piano has been drinking, my necktie is asleep
And the combo went back to New York, the jukebox has to take a leak
And the carpet needs a haircut, and the spotlight looks like a prison break
And the telephone’s out of cigarettes, and the balcony is on the make
And the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking…
And the menus are all freezing, and the light man’s blind in one eye
And he can’t see out of the other
And the piano-tuner’s got a hearing aid, and he showed up with his mother
And the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking
As the bouncer is a Sumo wrestler cream-puff casper milktoast
[The Piano Has Been Drinking lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]
And the owner is a mental midget with the I.Q. of a fence post
‘Cause the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking…
And you can’t find your waitress with a Geiger counter
And she hates you and your friends and you just can’t get served without her
And the box-office is drooling, and the bar stools are on fire
And the newspapers were fooling, and the ash-trays have retired
‘Cause the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking
The piano has been drinking, not me, not me, not me, not me, not me
