| 1. | Jealous Man | Play | Jealous Man
I walked into a barroom
A gun held in my hand Out side there was a bad moon I am a Jealous man I looked into the corner And saw you standin' there Smilin' at another His hands laced through your hair You gave me kisses sweet as wine Well I thought you were the one But now your lovin' someone else And so all I have left is a gun I called your name in anger You looked then turned away This gun would be my answer This gun would make you pay The shot rang out like thunder And you fell onto the floor Someone cried out murder As I ran out the door You gave me kisses sweet as wine Well I thought you were the one But now your lovin' someone else And so all I have left is a gun I woke up in the back room Of a dirty cheap motel My days are spent with whiskey My nights with muscatel You gave me kisses sweet as wine Well I thought you were the one But now your lovin' someone else And so all I have left I said all I have left I said all I have left Is a gun I got a gun |

| 6. | No Not Yet | Play | No Not Yet
Lucius Aloysius P.C. Johnson Fredrick Jones
Stumbled out of his bed late this morn' Stickin' of cheap whiskey mixed with extra strong cologne Oh he tried to remember what he'd done His head was filled with a fog hanging there And a vision he soon would not forget Of a beautiful ladyas she floated through the air All she said was not yet She's a high anxiety virgin Lucius Aloysius P.C. Johnson Fredrick Jones Stumbled out of his door half past noon His shirt was torn an tattered oh his pants were hanging loose And with untied laces in his shoes He moved along like a puppet on a string Like the devil had won him in a bet On and in his mind only one sweet voice would ring All it said was not yet She's a high anxiety virgin Lucius Aloysius P.C. Johnson Fredrick Jones Stumbled up on the stairs close to two To call upon no other then the sweet Velveeta Moon Oh he hoped that she would not refuse He brought her all the gold and diamonds she could wear And you no she took what she could get When he turned and asked for some lovin' she could spare All she said was not yet She's a high anxiety virgin no not yet, not yet, no not yet, no not yet |

| 7. | Ruby | Play | Ruby
It was early in the morning
It was early in the spring All the trees were filled with blossoms Raining down on everything All the sky was filled with colors Of the early morning dawn And my heart was filled flowers As I wrote for you this song Wrote this song, wrote this song Take me down won't you Ruby Take me down won't you down I have got the blues this morning So I hope you are around We can go down to the river Where the wild waters flow We can lay down in the flowers As we watch our garden grow Watch it grow, Watch it grow Now I see you in the morning Now I see y ou in the light Oh your hair is softly glowing And your face is shining bright Then you gently try to tell me child That soon you will be gone Will you stay a little longer If I sing for you a song Sing a son Sing a song Reflections of your face in the water Visions of your life I can see Ruby in your life I loved you like no other Can't you see Can't you see Can't you see me, Can't you see Ruby Pg 2 Now I fell you in the morning I feel you deep inside Like a wildfire burning me A pain I just can't hide Why did you have to leave me child Why did you have to go Across that bridge without me girl You left me all alone All alone, all alone Take me down won't you Ruby Take me down take me down I have got the blues this morning So I hope you are around We can go down to the river Where the waters deep and wide We can cross that bridge together And walk on the otherside By your side, by your side |
