WANTED MAN

(Bob Dylan)

Wanted man in California wanted man in Buffalo

Wanted man in Kansas City wanted man in Ohio

Wanted man in Mississippi wanted man In old Cheyenne

Wherever you might look tonight you might see this wanted man

I might be in Colorado or Georgia by the sea

Working for some men who may not know at all who I might be

If you ever see me comin' and if you know who I am

Don't you breathe it to nobody cause you know I'm on the lam

Wanted man by Lucy Watson wanted man by Jeannie Brown

Wanted man by Nellie Johnson wanted man in this Tex town

But I've had all that I wanted of a lot of things I had

And a lot more that I needed of something that turned out bad

[ guitar ]

I got sidetracked in El Paso stopped to get myself a nap

Went the wrong way into Juarez with Juanita on my lap

Then I went to sleep in Shreveport woke up in Abilene

Wondering why the hell I'm wanted at some town halfway between

Wanted man in Albuquerque wanted man in Siera Cruz

Wanted man in Tallahassee wanted man in Baton Rouge

There's somebody set to grab me anywhere that I might be

And wherever you might look tonight you might get a glimpse of me

Wanted man in California...

WRECK OF THE OLD 97

(Johnny Cash - Bob Johnson - Norman Blake)

Well they gave him his orders at Monroe Virginia

Said Steve you're way behind time

This is not 38 this is old 97 put her into Spencer on time

Then he turned around and said to his black greasy fireman

Shovel on a little more coal

And when we cross that White Oak Mountain watch old 97 roll

[ guitar ]

And then a telegram come from Washington station this is how it read

Oh that brave engineer that run old 97 he's laying in old Danville dead

Cause he was goin' down the grade makin' 90 miles an hour

His whistle broke into a scream

He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle

Scalded to death by the steam (one more time)

[ guitar ]

So now all you ladies you better take a warning from this time on and learn

Never speak harsh words to your true lovin' husband

He may leave you and never return poor boy

I WALK THE LINE

(Johnny Cash)

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep my eyes wide open all the time

I keep the ends out for the tie that binds because you're mine I walk the line

I find it very very easy to be true I find myself alone when each day is through

Yes I'll admit that I'm a fool for you because you're mine I walk the line

As sure as night is dark and day is light I keep you on my mind both day and night

And happiness I've known proves that it's right because you're mine I walk the line

You've got a way to keep me on your side you give me cause for love that I can't hide

For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide because you're mine I walk the line

I keep a close watch...

STARKVILLE CITY JAIL

(Johnny Cash)

Well I left my motel room down at the Starkville Motel

The town had gone to sleep and I was feelin' fairy well

I strolled along the sidewalk neath the sweet magnolia trees

I was whis'lin' pickin' flowers swayin' in the southern breeze

I found myself surrounded one policeman said that's him

Come along wild flower child don't you know that it's two a.m.

They're bound to get you cause they got a curfew

And you go to the Starkville city jail

Well they threw me in the car and started drivin' into town

I said what the hell did I do and he said shutup and sit down

Well they emptied out my pockets took my pills and guitar picks

I said wait my name is aw shut up well I sure was in a fix

The sergeant put me in a cell then he went home for night

I said come back here you so and so I ain't bein' treatin' right

Well they're bound to get you cause they got a curfew

And you go to the Starkville city jail

I started pacin' back and forth and now and then I'd yell

And kick my 40 dollar shoes against the steel door of my cell

I'd walk awhile and kick awhile and all night nobody came

Then I sadly remembered that they didn't even take my name

At eight a.m. they let me out I said gimme them things of mine

They gave me a sneer and a guitar pick and a yellow dandelion

They're bound to get you cause they got a curfew

And you go to the Starkville city jail and you go to the Starkville city jail

SAN QUENTIN

(Johnny Cash)

San Quentin you've been livin' hell to me

You hosted me since 1963

I've seen 'em come and go and I've seen 'em die

And long ago I stopped askin' why

San Quentin I hate every inch of you

You've cut me and you scarred me through and through

And I'll walk out a wiser weaker man

Mr Congresman you can't understand

[ guitar ]

San Quentin what good do you think you do

Do you think I'll be diff'rent when you're through

You bent my heart and mind and you ward my soul

Your stone walls turn my blood a little cold

San Quentin may you rot and burn in hell

May your walls fall and may I live to tell

May all the world forget you ever stood

And may all the world regret you did no good

San Quentin I hate every inch of you

BOY NAMED SUE

(Shel Silverstein)

Well my daddy left home when I was three

And he didn't leave much to Ma and me

Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze

Now I don't blame him because he run and hid

But the meanest thing that he ever did

Was before he left he went and named me Sue

Well he must have thought it was quite a joke

And it got lots of laughs from a lot of folks

It seems I had to fight my whole life through

Some gal would giggle and I'd get red

And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head

I tell ye life ain't easy for a boy named Sue

Well I grew up quick and I grew up mean

My fist got hard and my wits got keen

Roamed from town to town to hide my shame

But I made me vow to the moon and stars

I'd search the honky tonks and bars

And kill that man that gave me that awful name

Well it was Gatlinsburg in mid July

And I just hit town and my throat was dry

I'd thought I'd stop and have myself a brew

At an old saloon on a street of mud

There at a table dealing stud

Sat that dirty mangy dog that named me Sue

Well I knew that sneak was my own sweet dad

From a wornout picture that my mother had

And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye

He was big and bent and gray and old

And I looked at him and my blood ran cold

And I said my name is Sue how do you do now you're gonna die

Yeah that's what I told him

Well I hit him hard right between the eyes

And he went down but to my surprice

He got up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear

But I busted a chair right across his teeth

And we crashed through the wall and into the street

Kickin' and a gougin' in the mud and the blood and the beer

I tell you I've fought tougher men

But I really can't remember when

He kicked like a mule and bit like a crocodile

I heard him laughin' and I heard him cussin'

He went for his gun and I pulled mine first

He stood there looking at me and I saw him smile

He said son this world is rough

And if a man's gonna make it he's gotta be tough

And I know I wouldn't be there to help you along

So I gave you that name and I said goodbye

I knew you'd have to get tough or die

And it's that name that helped to make you strong

Yeah he said now you have just fought one helluva fight

And I know you hate me and you've got the right

To kill me now and I wouldn't blame you if you do

But you oughta thank me before I die

For the gravel in your guts and the spit in your eye

Because I'm the son of a bitch that named you Sue

Yeah what could I do what could I do

I got all choked up and I threw down my gun

Called him Pa and he called me son

And I come away with a different point of view

And I think about him now and then

Every time I tried every time I win

And if I ever have a son

I think I'm gonna name him Bill or George anything but Sue

(THERE'LL BE) PEACE IN THE VALLEY

(Thomas A. Dorsey)

Well I'm tired and so weary but I must go along

Till the Lord comes and calls calls me away oh yes

And the morning's so bright and the lamb is the light

And the night night is as black as the sea oh yes

(There'll be peace in the valley for me some day)

There will be peace in the valley for me oh Lord I pray

(There'll be no sadness no sorrow oh my Lord no trouble I see)

There will be peace in the valley for me

Well the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame

And the lion shall lay down by the lamb oh yes

And the beast from the wild will be lead by a child

And I'll be changed changed from this creature that I am oh yes

(There'll be peace in the valley...

FOLSOM PRISON BLUES

(Johnny Cash)

Well if they freed me from this prison if that railroad train was mine

Then I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line

Far from Folsom Prison that's where I want to stay

And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
