Well, I look out the window and what do I see
The breeze is a blowin' the leaves from the trees
Everything is free everything but me
I'm gonna take this chain from around my finger
And throw it just as far as I can slinger
'Cause I wanna be free

When my baby left me everything died
But a little bluebird was singin' just outside
Singin' twidle-de-dee fly away with me
Well, you know I think I'm a gonna live
Gotta lotta love left in me to give
So I wanna be free.

I released my heart my soul and my mind
And I'm a feelin' fine
I broke the chains, the ring of gold
Before it broke my mind
Well, look who's cryin' and it ain't me
But I can't hardly hear and I can't half see
Oh, I wanna be free.

I released my heart my soul and my mind
And I'm a feelin' fine
I broke the chains, the ring of gold
Before it broke my mind
Well, look who's cryin' and it ain't me
But I can't hardly hear and I can't half see.
Oh, I wanna be free.

Do I wanna be free?
Yeah, I wanna be free free...

Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft against my skin
Like the shadows on the wall.

Come and lay down by my side
Till the early morning light
All I'm taking is your time
Help me make it through the night.

I don't care what's right or wrong
I won't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord, tonight I need a friend.

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night.

I don't want to be alone
Help me make it through the night.

Mhm mhm mhm mhm...

(Connie Moore)

See that mountain I'm gonna have to climb
Well, there's a river waitin' on the other side
And the road leading nowhere I'll take it for I must
He's somewhere tomorrow or I'll bust.

You can go along with me and be my friend
Or you can stay and wish you'd gone alone
And you can follow me in postcard that I'll send
But by the time you enter I'll be gone.

Life is a circle spinning round
Searching for what you haven't found
I leave today to look for my tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll come searching for today.

--- Instrumental ---

See that mountain I'm gonna have to climb
Well, there's a river waitin' on the other side
And the road leading nowhere I'll take it for I must
He's somewhere tomorrow or I'll bust.

I don't know that I'd be coming back this way
But if you stay and I'd come back someday
Then I'll teach you the lessons that I've learned
And I'll build back the bridges that I've burned.

Life is a circle spinning round...
Searching for what you haven't found
I leave today to look for my tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll come searching for today.

Yeah, tomorrow I'll come searching for today...

Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the waters
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself and you can look at the others differently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee.

Every time I look into the Holy Book I wanna tremble
When I read about the part where a carpenter cleared the temple
For the buyers and the sellers were no different fellers than what I confess to be
And it causes me shame to know I'm not the gal that I should be.

Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the waters
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself and you can look at the others differently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee.

Mama taught me how to pray before I reached the age of seven
And when I'm down on my knees that's when I'm close to heaven
Daddy lived his life for eight kids and wife you do what you must do
But he showed me enough of what it takes to get you through.

Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the waters
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself and you can look at the others differently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee.

Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the waters
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself and you can look at the others differently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee.

Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the waters
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself and you can look at the others differently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee...

All the heartaches that I've known would fill the sea
Oh, I'm lonesome and you'll be callin' me, yeah, callin' me
Oh, mem'ries, fill my little lonely room
And if I never love again, it'll be too soon.

Can't help turnin' by each love I've ever had
And your leavin' hurt the worst, it hurt so bad, it hurt me bad
For misery cast its shadow on the moon
And if I never love again, it'll be too soon.

I don't wanna see another road than blue
And if I never love again, it'll be too soon
No, I don't wanna ever see another road than blue
And if I never never love again, it'll be too soon...

(Kris Kristofferson - Fred Foster)

La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)
La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)
La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)
La la la la la la me and Bobby McGee

Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Headin' for the trains
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Orleans.

I pulled my ol' har'poon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
With those windshield whipers slappin' time
I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew.

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)
La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)
La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)
La la la la la la me and Bobby McGee

From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me Lord through everything I done
Every night he kept me from the cold.

Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let him slip away
Searching for the home I hope he'll find
And I'd give all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)
La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)
La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)
La la la la la la me and Bobby McGee...

Hungry little baby on a cold hard floor
Cryin' for milk but there ain't no more
We can't get credit at the grocery store
That's how it is when you're poor.

Cry tears little baby for the future in store
I got trouble for a child born poor
Slave all your life not knowin' what for
That's how it is when you're poor.

There's not enough money to go to school
I can't afford the clothes to fit the social fools
Lord forgive me when I curse the rules
But that's how it is when you're poor.

Gotta work hard just the bills to be paid
Sixteen hours there's a livin' to be made
Never get ahead just livin' day to day
That's how it is when you're poor

Hard work buried in the back of my mind
Haven't got much money but have a lotta time
It's been done doin' nothin' but tryin'
That's how it is when you're poor.

Old house needs fix but that'll have to wait
I dream about the life that could be real great
I hope it's not long more it'll be too late
But that's how it is when you're poor...

(Joe South)

I beg you pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometimes
When you take you gotta give, so live and let live or let go
I beg you pardon, I never promised you a rose garden.

I could promise you things
Like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
So you'd better think it over.

When it's sweet talking
You could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
But what would it matter.

So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg you pardon, I never promised you a rose garden.

--- Instrumental ---

I could sing you a tune
And promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you
I'd just as soon let you go.

But there's one thing I want you to know
You better look before you leap still water runs deep
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
And you know what I'm talking about.

So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg you pardon, I never promised you a rose garden.

I beg you pardon, I never promised you a rose garden...

I know I shouldn't bother you
'Cause you asked me not to call
But tonight I'm not responsible
For what I do at all.

You're drivin' me out of my mind
Is that what you want to do
Well, do me a little favor
And drive you out of my mind, too.

Drive you out of my mind
Erase the mem'ry of your touch
I don't believe I'm
Askin' for too much.

You're drivin' me out of my mind
And you know this is true
Well, do me a little favor
And drive you out of my mind, too.

Now don't tell me you don't have time
'Cause the problems just can't wait
If I'll wait until tomorrow
It just might be too late.

You're drivin' me out of my mind
By lovin' someone new
So do me a little favor
And drive you out of my mind, too.

Drive you out of my mind
Erase the mem'ry of your touch
I don't believe I'm
Askin' for too much...

You know that I love you, my love made me your fool
The way down deep inside, I know you never will be true
But I'll keep holdin' on for love just as long as I can
I'm one man's woman but you're any woman's man.

I'm one man's woman but you're any woman's man
But I can't let that change me into somethin' I can't stand
I give you all the love I have but your love is out of hand
I'm one man's woman but you're any woman's man.

--- Instrumental ---

Sometimes I have a notion to get revenge but then
Since I'm in love who cares about the place I've never been
When temptation smiled at me into your arms I ran
I'm one man's woman but you're any woman's man.

I'm one man's woman but you're any woman's man
But I can't let that change me into somethin' I can't stand
I give you all the love I have but your love is out of hand
I'm one man's woman but you're any woman's man...
