01-AFTER MIDNIGHT – Re m
J. J. Cale
After midnight,
we're gonna let it all hang out.
After midnight,
we're gonna chug-a-lug and shout.
We're gonna stimulate some action;
We're gonna get some satisfaction.
We're gonna find out what it is all about.
After midnight,
we're gonna let it all hang out.
After midnight,
we're gonna shake your tambourine.
After midnight,
it's all gonna be peaches and cream.
We're gonna cause
talk and suspicion;
We're gonna give an exhibition.
We're gonna find out what it is all about.
After midnight,
we're gonna let it all hang out.
After midnight,
we're gonna let it all hang out.
Second Verse
After midnight,
we're gonna let it all hang out.
After midnight,
we're gonna let it all hang out.
After midnight,
we're gonna let it all hang out.
After midnight,
we're gonna let it all hang out
02-CAJUN MOON – C1 Re m
J. J. Cale
Cajun moon,
where does your power lie
As you move
across the southern sky
You took my babe
way too soon
What have you done,
Cajun moon
Someday babe,
when you want your man
And you find him gone,
just like the wind
Don't trouble your mind
whatever you do
'Cause Cajun moon
took him from you
Cajun moon,
where does your power lie
As you move
across the southern sky
You took my babe
way too soon
What have you done,
Cajun moon
When daylight fades,
the night comes on
You can hear the silence
of this song
Don't trouble your mind
whatever you do
'Cause he got me
like he got you
Cajun moon,
where does your power lie
As you move
across the southern sky
You took my babe
way too soon
What have you done,
Cajun moon
03-CARRY ON – Si m
J. J. Cale
If life's little downs
they keep coming around
Carry on,
carry on
With darkness all about,
you want to scream and shout
Carry on,
carry on
Don't cry baby,
look at where you've been
Everybody knows
you just need a friend
Please, please, please,
if you're down on your knees
Carry on,
carry on
Your head is full of doubt,
you can't figure it out
Carry on,
carry on
Between the time it takes
to make all those mistakes
Carry on,
carry on
It don't matter
what you say or do
It just seems to work out
if you want it to
Let out all the slack,
take it off your back
Carry on,
carry on
-Instrumental break-
Let me bend your ear,
never shed a tear
Carry on,
carry on
Carry on,
04-HEY BABY – Do M
J. J. Cale
Hey baby,
it's your time now
Hey baby,
you made it somehow
Don't let nobody
come and bring you down
Hey baby,
you've got 'em on the run
You know,
you've got 'em on the run
I know you,
you have just begun
When you came into my life
My love, I thought I would die
There's never been nobody like you
You take away these blues
05-YOU GOT ME ON SO BAD – Re M7
J. J. Cale
Oh Baby,
you got me on so bad
I think that you're the wickedless woman
that I ever had
Sometimes you make me
feel so complete
You take away my troubles,
put my mind at ease
Oooh baby,
you're up to your old tricks
I've got something wrong right here
and I know that you can fix
07-I'M A GYPSY MAN – Re m
J. J. Cale
I'm a gypsy man on a one-night stand
Am I fit to be loved by you
I'm with a gypsy van, just travelling the land
They'll be leaving in the morning,
I'll be leaving too
Things like love don't tie me down
I just spread my love around
Like small change on girls
I don't know
I'm a gypsy man
on a one-night stand
Gonna have some fun before
I have to go
Don't you cry and don't you weep
Close your eyes and go to sleep
I've had you in my arms too long
What fortunes did I bring,
golden earrings
When you wake up in the morning I'll be gone
Things like love don't tie me down
I just spread my love around
Like small change on girls
I don't know
I'm a gypsy man
on a one-night stand…
Well it's been money for muscle
another whirligig
Money for muscle
another girl I dig
Another hustle just
to make it big
And rock away rock away
And girl it looks so pretty to me
just like it always did
Like the Spanish city to me
when we were kids
Oh girl it looks so pretty to me
just like it always did
Like the Spanish city to me
when we were kids
She took off a silver locket
she said remember me by this
She put her hand in my pocket
I got a keepsake and a kiss
Guitar break
And in the roar of dust and diesel
I stood and watched her walk away
I could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made me stay
And the big wheel keep on turning
neon burning up above
And I'm just high on the world
Come on and take a low ride
with me girl
On the tunnel of love
And now I'm searching through these carousels
and the carnival arcades
Searching everywhere
from steeplechase to palisades
In any shooting gallery
where promises are made
To rock away rock away
Rock away, rock away
from Cullercoats and Whitley bay
out to rock away
08-FANCY DANCER – Si M7
J.J. Cale
Once a day, every day,
sometimes all night long
She moves her body next to mine,
to the rhythm of this song
They call her May, some call her June,
she just needs a dancer
No matter what they or you call her now,
I call her fancy dancer
Fancy dancer,
the way she moves I say.
If you ask she will consent
to fancy dance all day
No man has ever lasted out,
the night along with her
The pace too quick, the heat's too hot,
she dances in a blur
When the sun begins to fade
you might have a chance,
to meet the lady of the night
she is the fancy dancer.
Fancy dancer,
the way she moves I say.
If you ask she will consent
to fancy dance all day.
[Guitar Solo]
She draws attention from anyone
who happens on her scene.
It's mostly men who want to try
out the dancing queen.
Fancy dancer,
the way she moves I say.
If you ask she will consent
to fancy dance all day.
[Guitar Solo]
09-FRIDAY – Re m
J.J. Cale
Monday morning comes too early
Work my back to the bone
All day monday I keep thinking,
"Weekend's coming, gonna go home"
Tuesday I hate, oh Tuesday,
ain't no girls on the streets
Tuesday it ain't good for nothing
drinking beer, watching TV
Friday, Friday evening
Come on Friday, it's been too long
Friday, Friday evening
Come on Friday, I wanna go home
Friday, Friday evening
Come on Friday, it's been too long
Friday, Friday evening
Come on Friday, I wanna go home
Come on Friday, I wanna go home
Wednesday's hump day, hump day's Wednesday
Over the hump, the week's half-gone
If I had my pay on Wednesday
I'd hang out, the hump day's gone
Thursday, you know I feel better
I can see the end in sight
Think I'll write myself a letter
Help myself through the night
Friday, Friday evening
Come on Friday, it's been too long
Friday, Friday evening
10-I'D LIKE TO LOVE YOU BABY – Mi M
J. J. Cale
I'd like to love you baby and
keep my other baby too
Put my arms around you,
that's all I want to do
If the sun don't shine tomorrow,
I know I've got you
I'd like to love you baby and
keep my other baby too
Sometimes my baby's sleeping,
sometimes she's not around
Sometimes I look to find her,
I know she'll put me down
Oh, won't you let me hold you,
let me lean on you
I'd like to love you baby and
keep my other baby too
If the sun don't shine tomorrow,
I know I've got you
I'd like to love you baby and
keep my other baby too
11-PRECIOUS MEMORIES – Si M7
J.J. Cale
Hell, I travel
on life's pathways
Know not what
the years may hold
Hell, I've wandered,
oh, grows fonder
Precious memories
flood my soul
Precious memories,
how they linger
How they ever
flood my soul
In the stillness
of the midnight
Precious, sacred
scenes unfold
12-I'LL MAKE LOVE TO YOU ANYTIME- La m
J.J. Cale
I can't read
and I can't write
And I don't know
my left from right
I can't tell
if the sun's gonna shine
And I don't know
if you'll ever be mine
But I'll make love to you any old time
I can't swim
and I can't fly
I ain't no fish,
I ain't no bird in the sky
I can't tell
if the sun's gonna shine
And I don't know
if you'll ever be mine
But I'll make love to you any old time
13-RIVER RUNS DEEP – Re M
J.J. Cale
Well, the river runs deep
and the water is cold as ice
The river runs deep
and the water is cold as ice
I go down there
every chance I get
It's where my baby
she met her date
And the river runs deep
and the water's cold as ice
Ain't no woman
gonna make a fool
out of me
Ain't no woman
gonna make a fool
out of me
Running 'round,
that's what they said
She's at the bottom
of the river dead
And the river runs deep
and the water's cold as ice
No cheating woman
gonna get a good man down
No cheating woman
gonna get a good man down
Running 'round
like a silly fool
You're gonna end up
at the bottom of the pool
And the river runs deep
and the water's cold as ice
14-RUNAROUND – Sol m
J. J. Cale
Yeah, you come home in the morning,
your hair's all a mess
You've been out all night,
you've got wrinkles in your dress
You give me the runaround
All day long you give me the runaround
When you say something here,
you mean something there
You give me the runaround
Same thing yesterday,
same thing the day before
Woman, it does get
pretty doggone old
You give me the runaround
All day long you give me the runaround
You give me the runaround, woman,
I'm getting tired of that
n,
running 'round like that
15-DON'T CRY SISTER – C1 Si m
J.J. Cale
Don't cry sister cry,
it'll be alright, in the morning
Don't cry sister cry,
everything'll be just fine
Don't cry sister cry,
it'll be alright, I tell you no lie
Don't cry sister cry,
don't do it, don't do it
When Old Man Trouble
knocks on your door
Don't give him no key,
he just wants more
He'll turn your life
to misery
Kick you down,
just like me
Don't cry sister cry,
it'll be alright, in the morning
Don't cry sister cry,
everything'll be just fine
guitar break
If you woke downhearted
and you feel so bad
Somebody wants something
of nothing you had
Love don't come
too easy, you see
A little bit of you
and a little bit of me
Don't cry sister cry,
don't do it, don't do it
Don't cry sister cry,
everything'll be just fine
Everything'll be just fine
Everything'll be just fine
Don't cry sister cry,
don't do it, don't do it
Don't cry sister cry,
don't do it, don't do it16-SUPER BLUE – Sol M7
J.J. Cale
Days are longer
By yourself
You sold your soul
to someone else
Now you're paying,
can't you see
You want to pass it back
to me
Told you once,
told you twice
When you're gone don't expect to
come back
Things don't work out
like I planned
'Cause you've got yourself
another man
