Late last night, I went for a walk Down by the river near my home Couldn't believe, with my own eyes And I swear I'll never leave my home again I saw a man walking on the water Coming right at me from the other side Calling out my name; "Do not be afraid." Feet begin to run, pounding in my brain I don't want to go; I don't want to go No, no, no, no, no... I don't want to go Mmmmmmm...
(J. Fogerty)
Now, when I was just a little boy, Standin' to my Daddy's knee, My poppa said, "Son, don't let the man get you Do what he done to me." 'Cause he'll get you, 'Cause he'll get you now, now. And I can remember the fourth of July, Runnin' through the backwood, bare. And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin', Chasin' down a hoodoo there. Chasin' down a hoodoo there. Born on the Bayou; Born on the Bayou; Born on the Bayou. Wish I was back on the Bayou. Rollin' with some Cajun Queen. Wishin' I were a fast freight train, Just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans. Born on the Bayou; Born on the Bayou; Born on the Bayou. Do it, do it, do it, do it. Oh, Lord. Oh get back boy. I can remember the fourth of July, Runnin' through the backwood bare. And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin', Chasin' down a hoodoo there. Chasin' down a hoodoo there. Born on the Bayou; Born on the Bayou; Born on the Bayou. All right! Do, do, do, do. Mmmmmmm, oh.

Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball. Good golly, miss Molly, sure like to ball. When you're rockin' and a rollin' can't hear your momma call. From the early early mornin' till the early early night You can see miss Molly rockin' at the house of blue light. Good golly, miss Molly, sure like to ball. When you're rockin' and a rollin' can't hear your momma call. Well, now momma, poppa told me: "Son, you better watch your step." If I knew my momma, poppa, have to watch my dad myself. Good golly, miss Molly, sure like to ball. When you're rockin' and a rollin' can't hear your momma call. I am going to the corner, gonna buy a diamond ring. Would you pardon me if it's a nineteen carat golden thing. Good golly, miss Molly, sure like to ball. When you're rockin' and a rollin' can't hear your momma call. Good golly, miss Molly, sure like to ball. Good golly, miss Molly, sure like to ball. When you're rockin' and a rollin' can't hear your momma call.

Tombstone shadow, stretchin' across my path. Tombstone shadow, stretchin' across my path. Ev'ry time I get some good news, Ooh, There's a shadow on my back. Saw the gypsy man, 'way down in San Berdoo. Said, I saw the gypsy man, 'way down in San Berdoo. Five dollars on the table, Ooh, Keep me 'way from my tomb. Oh! Oh! Said I got thirteen months of bad luck, Bound to be some pain. Don't you do no trav'lin', Fly in no machines. Tombstone shadow, stretchin' across my path. Ev'ry time I get some good news, Ooh, There's a shadow on my back. The man gave me a luck charm, Cost five dollars more, Said, "Put some on your pillow, and put some on your door." He said, "Take a long vacation, Ooh, For thirteen months or more." Oh, Lord! Tombstone shadow, stretchin' across my path. Tombstone shadow, stretchin' across my path. Ev'ry time I get some good news, Ooh, There's a shadow on my back. Oh, oh, Lord! Oh, Lord!

Met myself a comin' county welfare line. I was feelin' strung out, Hung out on the line. Saw myself a goin', down to war in June. All I want, All I want is to write myself a tune. Wrote a song for ev'ryone, Wrote a song for truth. Wrote a song for ev'ryone And I couldn't even talk to you. Got myself arrested, Wound me up in jail. Richmond 'bout to blow up, communication failed. If you see the answer, now's the time to say. All I want, All I want is to get you down to pray. Wrote a song for ev'ryone, Wrote a song for truth. Wrote a song for ev'ryone And I couldn't even talk to you. Wrote a song for ev'ryone, Wrote a song for truth. Wrote a song for ev'ryone And I couldn't even talk to you. Saw the people standin' thousand years in chains. Somebody said it's diff'rent now, look, it's just the same. Pharoahs spin the message, round and round the truth. They could have saved a million people, How can I tell you? Wrote a song for ev'ryone, Wrote a song for truth. Wrote a song for ev'ryone And I couldn't even talk to you. Wrote a song for ev'ryone, Wrote a song for truth. Wrote a song for ev'ryone And I couldn't even talk to you. Wrote a song for ev'ryone, Wrote a song for truth. Wrote a song for ev'ryone And I couldn't even talk to you.

When I was a little bitty baby My mama would rock me in the cradle, In them old cotton fields back home; It was down in Louisiana, Just about a mile from Texarkana, In them old cotton fields back home. Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten You can't pick very much cotton, In them old cotton fields back home. It was down in Louisiana, Just about a mile from Texarkana, In them old cotton fields back home. When I was a little bitty baby My mama would rock me in the cradle, In them old cotton fields back home; It was down in Louisiana, Just about a mile from Texarkana, In them old cotton fields back home. Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten You can't pick very much cotton, In them old cotton fields back home. It was down in Louisiana, Just about a mile from Texarkana, In them old cotton fields back home. When I was a little bitty baby My mama would rock me in the cradle, In them old cotton fields back home; It was down in Louisiana, Just about a mile from Texarkana, In them old cotton fields back home.

Oh, it came out of the sky, landed just a little south of Moline Jody fell out of his tractor, couldn't b'lieve what he seen Laid on the ground and shook, fearin' for his life Then he ran all the way to town screamin' "It came out of the sky." Well, a crowd gathered 'round and a scientist said it was marsh gas Spiro came and made a speech about raising the Mars tax The Vatican said, "Woe, the Lord has come" Hollywood rushed out an epic film And Ronnie the Popular said it was a communist plot Oh, the newspapers came and made Jody a national hero Walter and Eric said they'd put him on a network T.V. show The White House said, "Put the thing in the Blue Room" The Vatican said, "No, it belongs to Rome." And Jody said, "It's mine and you can have it for seventeen million." Oh, it came out of the sky, landed just a little south of Moline Jody fell out of his tractor, couldn't b'lieve what he seen Laid on the ground a shakin', fearin' for his life Then he ran all the way to town screamin' "It came out of the sky."

Who will take the coal from the mine? Who will take the salt from the earth? Who'll take a leaf and grow it to a tree? Don't look now, it ain't you or me. Who will work the field with his hands? Who will put his back to the plough? Who'll take the mountain and give it to the sea? Don't look now, it ain't you or me. Don't look now, someone's done your starvin'. Don't look now, someone's done your prayin' too. Who will make the shoes for your feet? Who will make the clothes that you wear? Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep? Don't look now, it ain't you or me. Don't look now, someone's done your starvin'. Don't look now, someone's done your prayin' too. Who will take the coal from the mines? Who will take the salt from the earth? Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep? Don't look now, it ain't you or me.

Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself. Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself. You say I've been buyin' another woman clothes, But you've been talkin' to someone else. I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago. I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago. Your mama said, "Son, Don't call my daughter no more." Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself. Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself. You say I've been buyin' another woman clothes, But you've been takin' money from someone else. Come on back home, baby; try my love one more time. Come on back home, baby; try my love one more time. You've been gone away so long, I'm just about to lose my mind. Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself. Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself. You say I've been buyin' another woman clothes, But you've been talkin' to someone else.

Yes, my baby left me, never said a word. Was it something I done, something that she heard? You know she left me, my baby left me. My baby even left me, never said a word. But, I stand at my window, wring my hands and cry. I hate to lose that woman, hate to say goodbye. You know she left me, I say, she left me. My baby even left me, never said goodbye. Help me, boy! And now, one of these mornings, Lord, it won't be long, You'll look for me and, Baby, Daddy he'll be gone. You know she left me, I say she left me. My baby even left me, never said a word. Now, I stand at my window, wring my hands and moan. All I know is that the one I love is gone. My baby left me, I say she left me. My baby even left me, never said goodbye. My baby even left me, never said goodbye.

It's just a thought But I've noticed somethin' strange, Gettin' harder to explain; All the years are passin' by and by, Still I don't know what makes it go; Who said to wait and you'll see? It's just a thought But I wondered if you knew That the song up there is you. They can't take it from you If you don't give it away; Don't give it away; Ooh (It's given away.) It's just a thought But the word has come too late That a bad idea will take Just about a lifetime to explain, And don't you see, Good one's gonna be much longer; Who's gonna wait, just to see?

Moli-i-i-i-na, where you goin' to? Moli-i-i-i-na, where you goin' to? She's daughter to the mayor, Messin' with the sheriff, Drivin' in a blue car, She don't see no red light. Moli-i-i-i-na, where you goin' to? Moli-i-i-i-na, where you goin' to? She's comin' in the mornin' Lookin' a disaster, Drivin' in the prowl car, Spent the night in jail. Moli-i-i-i-na, where you goin' to? Moli-i-i-i-na, where you goin' to? Oh! Sheriff gonna go far Drivin' to the state house, If she makes a million, Papa can retire. Moli-i-i-i-na, where you goin' to?

Ev'ry day I'm gonna strut that stuff. When the music's loud I can't get enough. Singin' hi, singin' hi, Come on feet, Teach yourself to move. People shuff'lin' up and down again. Unhappy faces ain't gonna get you in. Singin' hi, singin' hi, Come on people, Teach yourself to move. Hey, hey! Hey, all right! Spread the news, we're goin' have some fun. Let it go, movin' son-of-a-gun. Singin' hi, signin' hi, Come on feet, We was Born To Move. Hey, hey, Lord! Come on, move it, now boy!

I'm lookin' for a reason to stay. I'm all wound up and tied in knots today. I'm lookin' for a reason not to go. When the morning comes, I'll be on my way. Ev'ry night I ask myself again Just what it was that made our dream begin. It seemed like a good idea way back then. But I'm wond'rin' now what daydream took me in. I'm lookin' for a reason to stay. I'm all wound up and tied in knots today. I'm lookin' for a reason not to go. When the morning comes, I'll be on my way. Yesterday I tried once more to find A way to share the trouble on my mind. It seems like you turn away ev'ry time. I used to like it here, I can't remember why. I'm lookin' for a reason to stay. I'm all wound up and tied in knots today. I'm lookin' for a reason not to go. When the morning comes, I'll be on my way. I'm lookin' for a reason to stay. I'm all wound up and tied in knots today. I'm lookin' for a reason not to go. When the morning comes, I'll be on my way.

"Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart, Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you I knew Mary Lou, We'd never part So Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart." Passed me by one sunny day, flashed those big brown eyes my way And oo I wanted you forever more I'm not one that gets around, swear my feet stuck to the ground And though I never did meet you before I said "Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart, Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you I knew Mary Lou, We'd never part So Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart." Saw your lips I heard your voice, believe me I just had no choice, Wild horses couldn't make me stay away. Thought about a moonlit night, my arms around you good an' tight, That's all I had to see for me to say. "Hey, hey, Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart, Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you I knew Mary Lou, We'd never part So Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart. So Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart. Yes, Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart."
