All Lines
Though I tried and failed at finding any door
Though I'd never say
Though I'm travelin' on a path beaten trail
Though I'm younger than you
Though it shadows metal badge
Though it's funny, honey
Though its glow is waxed in black
Though neither of them are to be what they claim
Though the bitter taste still lingers on from the night I tried to make her stay
Though the night ran swirling an' whirling
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Though they murdered six million
Though we kissed through the wild blazing nighttime
Though you just thought it was nothing more
Though you might call it 'Paradise.'''
Though you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the sun
Thought I was a Communist
Thought I'd go look through her drawer
Thought I'd seen some ups and down
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
Thousands at the gate
Three angels up above the street
Three bodies lyin' there does Patty see
Three by three, they danced on the sea
Three by three, they're turning the key
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work
Three-legged man
Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover
Threw it in the tide for to rock and to roll
Through a bullet of light
Through countries and kingdoms and temples of stone
Through flame and through fire
Through hostile cities and unfriendly towns
Through the back alleys - through the blinds
Through the clear county lakes and the lumberjack lands
Through the cow country towns and the sands of old Montana
Through the crossbar windows
Through the darkness on the pathways of life
Through the holes in the pockets in my clothes
Through the mad mystic hammering of the wild ripping hail
Through the night to the day
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
Through the world mysterious and vague
Through this weary world of woe
Through young summer's breeze, I stole her away
Through your body and your mind
Throughout the land
Throw me into a cell
Throw my suitcase out there, too
Throw my ticket out the window
Throw my troubles out the door
Throw yourself on the burning sand
Throwing all my memories in a ditch so deep
Thrown in like bandits
Thunder from the barrel of his gun
Thunder on the mountain heavy as can be
Thunder on the mountain rolling to the ground
Thunder on the mountain, and there's fires on the moon
Thunder on the mountain, rollin' like a drum
Thunder rolling over Clarksdale, everything is looking blue
Tie down the trailers and camp 'em
Tie me on 'er and turn her loose
Till he came to a river ragin'
Till she sees finally that she's like all the rest
Till the tombstones of damage read me no questions but, ''Please
Till they ventured out behind the lines and took five prisoners
Timber two-foot six across
Time and love has branded me with its claws
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast
Time is all I have to give
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore
Time is pilin' up, we struggle and we scrape
Time passes slowly and fades away
Time passes slowly up here in the daylight
Time passes slowly up here in the mountains
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love
Times you might get kicked
Tiny Montgomery says hello
To a half a day's shift with no reason
To a shadow
To a sin of love's false security
To anyone passing by, that's who they're talking to
To be alone with you
To be just like I am
To be just like them
To be lawyers and things
To be on your own
To be seeing the real you at last
To be shot down by the man who was your friend?
To be stuck inside of Mobile
To be such a freak?''
To be wanderin'
To be with the one you love
To be without a home
To Black Diamond Bay
To break a trusting heart like mine was just your style
To breathe the air around Tom Paine's
To buy his niece a wedding gown, Uh-huh
To care for me or cry
To curbs 'neath holes where babies wail
To Desolation Row
To Desolation Row''
To disgrace, distract, and bother me
To do anything they wish to do but die
To do what they want to do
To drift away
To each his own, it's all unknown
To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay
To every conceivable point of view.''
To find dignity
To find out if she's talked
To find the man in me
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
To gather flowers constantly
To get along with you
To get caught without a ticket
To get him to feel more assured
To get into any kind of wind
To get it to work for you like your nine-pound hammer did
To get out of there quick
To get some bail for Arab
To get their kicks, get out of it quick
To get through to the man in me
To get up and take another shot
To get you facts
To get you your favors done
To give it a little knock
To give me a decent start
To give the special one you seek a chance
To go with Black Jack Davey
To hang and to lynch
To hate them and fear them
To have it too fast and too much
To hear again the songbird's sweet melodious tone
To her, death is quite romantic
To hide 'neath the hood
To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
To hold each other tight
To hold me in your arms
To hurt an honest man
To hurt one they would weep
To Jerusalem.''
To Jezebel the nun she violently knits
To join the iron gang
To jump at my command
To just give a check
To keep her from the howlin' winds
To keep it in your mind and not fergit
To keep up his hate
To kill with no pain
To know and feel too much within
To know how much I really care
To know that some other man is holdin' you tight
To know that the judge had never spoken
To know where you are
To know which way the wind blows
To lead me off in a cheerful dance
To leave his native country and his darling girl behind
To lend a helping hand
To lie in the gutter and die with no name?
To look at her
To look up on the world from a hole in the ground
To love and follow his direction?
To make a foolish move
To make a small call out
To make all that should be killed to crawl
To make me think I'm wrong
To make the wall-siding sing
To make you feel my love
To make your time more easy passin'
To marry John Thomas, a miner
To meet you on your crossroads
To memorizing politics
To my bended knees
To my knowledge there's just one man
To open up a passenger train
To over there and back
To pay his room or board
To preach of peace and brotherhood
To protect his white skin
To protect you an' defend you
To push fake morals, insult and stare
To ride your aeroplane
To ride your passenger train
To Rockefeller Plaza n' the Empire State
To run and to hide
To satisfy my weary soul
To say goodbye to sand and sea
To say you are my friend
To say you got a helping hand to lend
To see him obviously framed
To see me in disgrace
To see that you're madly in love
To see the lynchin' of his son
To see what kinda words he could say
To see where they had flown
To see you tryin' to be a part of
To see you
To see you
To sharpen the senses
To shine in through
To shoot you someplace and shoot you back
To show me I was blinded, to show me I was gone
To show that all's equal and that the courts are on the level
To show you something you seen before
To show you the dead angels that they used to hide
To sit down on this bank of sand
To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlit streams
To stand naked
To stay away from the train line
To stay closer than any friend
To strict party platform ties
To strike him very weird
To survive it you play deaf and dumb
To take part in any quiz
To talk out of turn
To tax-deductible charity organizations
To tell about my troubled mind
To that dark and rolling sky
To that million dollar bash
To the beat of the balm?
To the boss he said, ''I have returned and now I want what's mine.''
To the Bowery slums
To the courtyard of the jester which is hidden from the sun
To the cuttin' of fences
To the deep hollow dungeon
To the F.B.I
To the hands of the clocks
To the higher calling of my Lord
To the institution home
To the old folks home and the college
To the one who was the father of your kid
To the tree with roots
To the tune I's a-playin'
To the tune of a concertina
To the valley below
To the wedding of his son
To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
To the winds that listened best
To think his niece would be a bride, Uh-huh
To think I'd make contact
To this Bear Mountain Picnic
To those condemned to act accordingly
To tie up the time most forcefully
To toss away
To try and make me change my mind and stay
To understand you know too soon
To wait for your future like a horse that's gone lame
To wait upon him hand and foot
To wander off in shame
To watch me destroy what I had
To wear earphones
To where she's staying in that dark adobe cell
To which a scoundrel clings
To Williams Point
To win friends and influence his uncle
To you I had no words to say
To you I really said
To your friend in the cowboy hat
To your sign language
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind
Today I drove.''
Today I'll stand in faith and raise
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
Today, it's moving too slow
Today, Medgar Evers was buried from the bullet he caught
Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair
Told about Jesus, told about the rain
Told the first father that things weren't right
Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
Tolling for the deaf an' blind, tolling for the mute
Tolling for the luckless, the abandoned an' forsaked
Tolling for the mistreated, mateless mother, the mistitled prostitute
Tolling for the outcast, burnin' constantly at stake
Tolling for the rebel, tolling for the rake
Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless, seeking trail
Tolling for the tongues with no place to bring their thoughts
Tomorrow all activity will cease
Tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be
Tomorrow keeps turning around
Tomorrow night before the sun goes down
Tomorrow will be another day
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
Tonight I lay on the river banks
Tonight there will be no quarrelin'
Tonight you got the power to take it, tomorrow you won't have the power to keep it
Too late, too late
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
Too much educated rap
Too much information about nothin'
Too much of nothing
Too much paperwork
Too noble to neglect
Too serious to fool
Too weary to talk
Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face
Took a woman like you
Took Albert into her lap
Took an untrodden path once, where the swift don't win the race
Took hold of my sweetheart and away we did drive
Took Miss Mousey on his knee, Uh-huh
Took Miss Mousey on his knee
Took off her wig, said, ''How do I smell?''
Took sickness and disease and he turned it into health
Took the wife 'n' kids down to the pier
Took the wife 'n' kids 'n' started home
Tossed by the winds and the seas
Tough Mama
Trails of troubles
Train is a-leavin' bit it won't be back
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended
Trapped in the heart of it, trying to get away
Traveling through the dawn of day
Tree trunks uprooted, 'neath the high crescent moon
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall
Trick on in
Trouble always comes to pass
Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind
Trouble in the city, trouble in the farm
Trouble in the water, trouble in the air
Trouble on my mind
Trouble, oh trouble
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Trouble
Trouble
Trouble
Trouble
Truce makers and partakers
True love can make a blade of grass
True love needs no company
True love they've been without it
True love, true love, true love tends to forget
Trust yourself to do the things that only you know best
Trust yourself to do what's right and not be second-guessed
Trust yourself to find the path where there is no if and when
Trust yourself to know the way that will prove true in the end
Trust yourself
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
Try and follow Gypsy Lou
Try hard, get barred
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm
Try to avoid the scandals
Try to be a success
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery
Try to bully ya - strong arm you - inspire you with fear
Try to make things better for someone, sometimes
Tryin to hold up and be brave
Trying hard to recognize
Trying to be tender
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
Trying to peel the moon and expose it
Trying to prove that your conclusions should be more drastic
Tuba players now rehearse around the flagpole
Tumbled all down into pieces
Turn around, you're in my sleep
Turn back, baby, wipe your eye
Turn him loose, let him go, let him say he outdrew me fair and square
Turn to broken down slums and trash-can alleys
Turn you into a piece of meat
Turn you into anything that they want you to be
Turn your back, wash your hands
Turn, turn to the rain
Turn, turn, turn again
Turned around to Billy Lyons, said, ''What are you doin' here?''
Turned her eyes up towards the heavens
Turned my head and away she ran
Turned my skies to blue from gray
Turned on my player-
Turning and a'thrashing about
Turning children into punks and slaves
Tweedle-dee Dee - he's on his hands and his knees
Tweedle-dee Dee and Tweedle-dee Dum
Tweedle-dee Dee is a lowdown, sorry old man
Tweedle-dee Dum and Tweedle-dee Dee
Tweedle-dee Dum said to Tweedle-dee Dee
Tweedle-dee Dum, he'll stab you where you stand
Twelfth Street and Vine
Twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
Twenty years of schoolin'
Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it
Twilight on the frozen lake
Two big bags of dead man's bones
Two brothers they confessed that they had killed poor Emmett Till
Two by two, into the foggy dew
Two by two, they step in the dark
Two by two, they stepped into the ark
Two by two, to another rendezvous
Two by two, to their lovers they flew
Two doors down the boys finally made it through the wall
Two eyes took the aim
Two men died 'neath the Mississippi moon
Two men in front of me were coming to blows
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl
Two-wheeled gypsy queen
Unborn and unnamed
Uncle fought in Vietnam and then he fought a war all by himself
Uncle Rat laughed and he shook his fat sides, Uh-huh
Uncle Rat laughed and he shook his fat sides,
Uncle Rat went runnin' downtown, Uh-huh
Uncle Rat went runnin' downtown
Under that apple suckling tree
Under the microscope
Under the midnight moon
Under your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat
Underneath that apple suckling tree
Underneath that tree
Underneath the bridge where the water flowed through
Underneath the sky of blue
Underneath the stove
Unknown as you slowly sink
Unless the old man chased me out
Unless they're from another world
Unless you're happy too
Unless you've been inside a tunnel
Unmentionable by name
Unthought of, though, somehow
Until he came up to the spot
Until He returns?
Until I can think my way out
Until I threw it all away
Until one day he just appeared
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
Unto heaven for me
Unto the shoeless hunter who's gone deaf
Up and down the block
Up and down the street
Up in the Rocky Mountains in a town called Cripple Creek
Up on Housing Project Hill
Up on the white veranda
Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
Up stepped the sheriff from Thomasville
Up stepped the sheriff from Thomasville
Up the road, around the bend
Up the steps into the nearest bank
Up to Boot Hill they'd like to send ya
Up to some paradise
Up Tom Paine did run
Upon four-legged forest clouds
Upon the beach of sunny Mozambique
Upon the beach where hound dogs bay
Upon the sacred cow
Upon the street where mothers weep
Use your arms and legs it won't ruin you
Used to play in the cemetery
Used to work on Mr. Finley's farm
Using all the devices under the sun
Using ideas as my maps
Uttering idle words from a reprobate mind
Valentines can't buy her
Valentino-type tangos
Vanished from my hand
Visions of your chestnut mare shoot through my head and are makin' me see stars
Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
Wait for the mornin' light
Wait for you to come
Waiting for the trains
Waiting to find out what price
Waiting to play tennis in the noonday sun
Waitress comes over
Walk around with nowhere to go
Walk back out the door
Walk like a duck and stomp like a skunk
Walk on your tip toes
Walk out if it doesn't feel right
Walk out in the rain
Walk out of my life
Walk out with your dreams
Walk upside-down inside handcuffs
Walking through the leaves, falling from the trees
Walking, walking with you in my head
Wallflower, wallflower
Wanna get married? Do it now
Wanna look in my eyes, please do
Want me to fly like an eagle
Wanted man by Lucy Watson, wanted man by Jeannie Brown
Wanted man by Nellie Johnson, wanted man in this next town
Wanted man in Albuquerque, wanted man in Syracuse
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
Wanted man in Tallahassee, wanted man in Baton Rouge
Wants eleven dollar bills
Wants me to grow a cigar on my face
Wants to get it paid off
War had its day
Warlords of sorrow and queens of tomorrow
Was a friend to the poor
Was a long-legged man
Was all but straightened out
Was betrayed by a kiss
Was I a fool or not to try to protect your identity?
Was I?
Was in society
Was in the spring
Was in the summer
Was it me that shot him down in the cantina
Was it my hand that held the gun?
Was just for the fun of killin' him and to watch him slowly die
Was like a sharpness of the tongue
Was lookin' to do just one good deed before she died
Was she a child or a woman, I can't say which
Was soon laid away
Was that some kind of joke?
Was that the thunder that I heard?
Was that trainload of fools bogged down in a magnetic field.
Was the boy with the curly hair
Was the great-granddaughter of Mr. Clean
Was there a slip of the lip?
Was there somebody looking
Was to haul your picture down off the wall near the cage where I used to work
Was to keep on keepin' on like a bird that flew
Was, ''Oh the Cruel Rain
Wasted and worn out
Watch out he don't fall on you
Watch out so you don't step on me
Watch out, Lester
Watch the parkin' meters
Watch the plain clothes
Watch the river flow
Watch waterfalls of pity roar
Watching out for someone who loves you true
Water pourin' into Vicksburg, don't know what I'm going to do
Way down in Mexico you went out to find a doctor and you never came back
Way down in Texas many years ago,
Way down yonder in a hollow tree, Uh-huh
Way out in the distance
Way out in the wilderness
Way up in the border country, far from the towns
Way up yonder, great will be her reward
We ain't a-gonna grieve no more
We all know for sure that it's real
We all wear the same thorny crown
We always did feel the same
We are covered in blood, girl, you know our forefathers were slaves
We banged the drum slowly
We better drop down now and get back behind the lines
We both heard voices for a while, now the rest is history
We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice
We can have a whoppin' good time
We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight
We can start it all over
We cannot mock a soul
We carried you in our arms
We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn
We could hold up a toast if we meet
We could make this great land of ours a greater place to live
We cut through iron and we cut through mud
We didn't mean for him t' meet his death
We died and were reborn
We drove that car as far as we could
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing
We eat and we drink, we feel and we think
We flung them as far as we could in the tide
We forgave the Germans
We got met with a tear gas bomb
We got much to talk about
We got the power we're the new government
We got this far and ain't a-goin' back
We got you for the motel job and we're talkin' to your friend Bello
We grew up together
We had a falling-out, like lovers often will
We have got to come together
We have no desire strange places to see
We heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex
We just meant to see some sweat
We just saw it from a different point of view
We learn to live and then we forgive
We live and we die, we know not why
We live in a political world
We live in apolitical world
We may not make it through the night
We met at the steeple where the mission bells ring
We must get it in position
We never did too much talkin' anyway
We never thought we could ever get old
We obligingly asked if they wanted recruits
We paid no respect to their two bloody backs
We pointed out the way to go
We pulled up where Henry Porter used to live. He owned a wreckin' lot outside of town about a mile
We sang that melody
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed
We sat in her kitchen while her mama was cookin'
We see this empty cage now corrode
We set out that night for the cold in the North
We shall walk
We sit beside bridges and walk beside fountains
We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
We stared into each other's eyes 'til one of us would break
We take great delight in our own company
We thought we could sit forever in fun
We toil and toil, and when we die
We walked across the river
We walked together hand in hand
We want folk singer here.''
We want to pin this triple murder on him
We want to put his ass in stir
We went into the wall to where the long arm of the law could not reach
We were goin' to meet again and wait
We were meant to be more than friends
We were the wrong side
We weren't on the wrong side, sweetness
Wealth is a filthy rag
Wear an alligator boot
Wearing a long dress fire engine red
Wedding bells ring and angels sing
Wedding bells ringin', the choir is beginning to sing
Welfare Department they wouldn't give him no clothes
Well a childish dream is a deathless need
Well a long winter's wait
Well a white man loved an Indian maiden

Well I came ashore in the dead of the night
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink
Well I got here following the southern star
Well I just wanna ask you
Well I need a woman, just to be my queen
Well I need a woman, oh don't I
Well I need a woman, yes I do
Well I'm drivin' in the flats in a Cadillac car
Well I'm pressing on
Well I'm tired of talking; I'm tired of trying to explain
Well I'm tryin' to get closer, but I'm still a million miles from you
Well I'm trying to get closer, but I'm still a million miles from you
Well it's four in the morning by the sound of the birds
Well it's not because
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around
Well I've been to the mountain and I've been in the wind

Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Well my ship's been split to splinters and it's sinking fast
Well now, I ain't got any matches
Well now, it was early in the mornin', I seen your shadow in the door
Well she takes a napkin and throws it back
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed
Well the fats in the fire and the water's in the tank
Well the future for me is already a thing of the past
Well the leaves are rustlin' in the wood - things are fallin' off of the shelf
Well the Lord created it, mister
Well these times and these tunnels are haunted
Well they got old Stack-A-Lee and they laid him right back in jail
Well they took me down town and they dressed me in black
Well they took me down town and they dressed me in black
Well they'll choose a man for you to meet tonight
Well you can tell ev'rybody
Well you take my money and you turn it out
Well, a dog's got his bone in the alley
Well, after I do some of these things
Well, after my cigarette's been smoked up
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously
Well, ask me why I'm drunk alla time
Well, believing is all right, just don't let the wrong people know what it's all about
Well, by the dirt 'neath my nails
Well, by this time I was fed up
Well, by this time
Well, by this time

Well, come out when the skating rink glistens
Well, didn't I risk my neck for you

Well, I rush into your hallway
Well, I sailed through the storm
Well, I saw him
Well, I see you got a new boyfriend
Well, I see you got your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat
Well, I seen a Cadillac window uptown
Well, I seen the whole country through
Well, I sent you my feelings in a letter
Well, I set my monkey on the log
Well, I soon lost track of m' kids 'n' wife
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave
Well, I struggled through barbed wire, felt the hail fall from above
Well, I tell you little lover that you better run for cover
Well, I tell you what if you what if you want to do
Well, I thought that the rain would cool things down
Well, I took me a woman late last night
Well, I took my counselor
Well, I tripped right along
Well, I try my best
Well, I waited for you inside of the frozen traffic
Well, I waited for you when I was half sick
Well, I wake in the morning
Well, I walk on pins and needles
Well, I walked all night long
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby
Well, I was feelin' sad and feelin' blue
Well, I was prayin' the pieces wouldn't fall on me
Well, I watched you slowly disappear down into the officers' club
Well, I went down to Washington
