Heartbreaker
------------
Hey, fellas, have ya heard the news
Ya know that Annie's back in town
It won't take long, just watch and see
all the fellas lay their money down
Her style is new but the face is the same as it was so long ago
but from her eyes, a different smile like of the one who knows
Well, it's been ten years or maybe more
since I first set eyes on you
The best years of my life gone by, here I am alone and blue
Some people cry and some people die by the wicked ways of love
but I'll just keep on rollin' along
with the grace from the Lord above
People talkin' all around 'bout the way you left me flat
I don't care what the people say, I know where their jive is at
A-one thing I do have on my mind
If you could clarify, please do
It's the way you call me another guy's name
when I try to make love to you, yeah
I try to make love, it ain't no use
A-give it to me, a-give it
Mm, worked so hard I couldn't unwind, get some money saved
Abuse my love a thousand times however hard I've tried
Heartbreaker, your time has come, can't take your evil way
Go away, heartbreaker, heartbreaker, heartbreaker, heart
Hey Hey What Can I Do
---------------------
Wanna tell you 'bout the girl I love
M-my, she look so fine
and she's the only one that I been dreamin' of
Maybe someday she will be all mine
I wanna tell her that I love her so
I thrill with her every touch
I need to tell her she's the only one I really love
I got a woman, wan' ball all day, yeah
I got a woman, she won't be true, no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said, I got a little woman and she won't be true
And Sunday mornin', when we go down to church
See the men-folk standin' in line
Don't say they come to pray to the Lord
not when my little girl looks so fine
And in the evenin' when the sun is sinkin' low
and everybody's with the one they love
I walk the town, keep a-searchin' all around
lookin' for my street-corner girl
I got a woman, wan' ball all day, yeah
I got a woman, she won't be true, now, now-a
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said, I got a little woman and she won't be true
And in the bars where the men who play guitars
sit there drinkin' and rememberin' the time
a-my little lover does a midnight shift
She ball around all of the time
I guess there's just one thing tha' left for me to do
Gonna pack my bags and move on my way
a-'cause I got a worried mind
I'm sharin' what I thought was mine
Gonna leave her when the guitars play
I got a woman, she won't be true, no, no
I got a woman, wanna ball all day, yeah, yeah, now, now
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I got a little woman and she won't be true
I said she won't be true, now

Hot Dog
-------
One, two, three, four
Ah, hot dog
Well, I, well, I, well, I just got into town today
to find my girl has gone away
she took the Greyhound at the General Store
I searched myself, I searched the town
When I finally did set down, I find myself no wiser than before
She said we couldn't do no wrong
No other love could be so strong
She'd locked up my heart in her bottom drawer
Now, she took my heart, she took my keys
from in my old blue dungarees
and I'll never go to Texas anymore
Now my baby's gone, I don't know what to do
She took my love and walked right out the door
and if I ever find that girl, I know one thing for sure
I'm gonna give her somethin' like she's never had before
I took her love at seventeen, a little late these days, it seems
but they said Heaven's well-worth waitin' for
I took her word, I took it all beneath a sign that said "U-Haul"
She'd left angels hangin' 'round for more
Ah, go
Well, now my baby's gone, I don't know what to do
She took my love and walked right out the door
and if I ever find that girl, I know one thing for sure
I'm gonna give her somethin' like she's never had before, yeah
I thought I had it all sewn up
Our love, a plot, a pickup truck
But folks, yeah, she was after somethin' more
I never did quite understand all that talk about rockin' bands
but they just rolled my doll right out the door
Ooh, yeah, they just rolled my doll right out the door
Why, well, they just rolled my doll right out the door
Hots On For Nowhere
-------------------
I was burned in the heat of the moment
though it coulda been the heat of the day
When I learned how my time had been wasted
a tear fell as I turned away
Now, I've got friends who will give me their shoulder
if I should happen to fall
With time and his bride growin' older
got friends who will give me f(l)uck-all
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, yeah, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, my baby
A-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, yeah, a-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Corner of Bleeker and nowhere, in the land of not-quite-day
Shiver ran down my backbone, face in the mirror turned gray
So I looked 'round to hitch-up a reindeer
Searchin' hard, tryin' to brighten the day
I turned 'round to look for the snowman
To my surprise he'd melted away, yeah
A-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, yeah
A-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, my baby
A-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, yeah, a-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
As the moon and the stars call the order
inside, my tides dance the ebb and sway
The sun in my soul's sinkin' lower
while the hope in my hands turns to clay
I don't ask that my field's full of clover
I don't moan at opportunity's door
Why don't ya ask my advice, take it slower
Let your story be your finest reward
A-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, yeah
a-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, my baby
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, yeah, a-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Now, do it, oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Lost on the path to attainment, a-searchin' the eyes of the wise
When I fled from the heart of the matter
started bleedin' without a disguise
Now that everything's finally behavin'
now and then you gotta take time to pose
'Cause if you're down on the ground
well, you're the best help around
if you land in a boat without oars
A-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, yeah
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, my baby
A-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, yeah, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Hey, babe, oh-oh-oh-oh, hey, babe, oh-oh-oh-oh
Hey, babe, I lost my way
Oh-oh-oh-oh/Hey, babe, oh-oh-oh-oh/hey, babe
I really, really did, now
Oh-oh-oh-oh/Hey, babe, oh-oh-oh-oh/hey, babe
I don't know when I'm gonna find
Oh-oh-oh-oh/Hey, babe, oh-oh-oh-oh/hey, babe
A-do ya wanna know, now, do you really, really wanna help me out
Let me tell ya, now, babe, oh-oh-oh-oh
Let me tell ya, oh-oh-oh-oh
that it feels so good, but I must be back to my babe
Oh-oh-oh-oh, lemme tell ya
Oh-oh-oh-oh, if it feels so good then it must be right, my babe
Oh-oh-oh-oh, lemme tell ya, oh-oh-oh-oh
If it feels, if it feels, if it feels, if it feels so good
Oh-oh-oh-oh, so good, oh-oh-oh-oh, so good, oh, yes-a
Houses of the Holy
------------------
Let me take you to the movies, can I take you to the show
Let me be yours ever truly, can I make your garden grow
From the houses of the holy we can watch the white doves go
From the door comes Satan's daughter, and it only goes to show
and you know
There's an angel on my shoulder, in my hand, a sword of gold
Let me wander in your garden and the seeds of love I'll sow
You know
So the world is spinnin' faster
Are you dizzy when you stall
Let the music be your master
Will ya heed the master's call
Oh-whoa, it's Satan and man
Said, there ain't no use in crying
'cause it will only, only drive you mad
Does it hurt to hear them lying
Was this the only world you had, oh-whoa
So let me take ya, take ya to the movie
Can I take ya, baby, to the show
Why don'tcha let me be yours ever truly
Can I make your garden grow
And you know-oo-oh, that's right
How Many More Times

Oh, wanna love some other man too
Ooh

Started thinkin' it over just what I had missed
Got me a girl and I kissed her, and then, and then
whoops, oh, no, yeah, well I did it again
Now I've got ten children of my own
I got another child on the way, that makes eleven
But I'm in constant Heaven
I know it's alright in my mind
'cause I got a little schoolgirl and she's all mine
I can't get through to her 'cause it doesn't permit
but I'm gonna give her everything I've got to give
Oh, Rosie, oh, girl
Oh, Rosie, oh, girl

A-why don'tcha come with me, baby, steal away
Alright, alright
Well, they call me the Hunter, that's my name
Call me the Hunter, that's how I got my fame
Ain't no need to hide, ain't no need to run
'cause I got you in the sights of my gun
How many more times, barrelhouse all night long, alright
How many more times, barrelhouse all night long
Well, I've got to get to you, baby
So-whoa-whoa-whoa please come home
Why don't you listen to me, babe
