I ain't got no home
No place to roam
I ain't got a home
No place to roam
I'm a lonely boy
I ain't got a home

I ain't got no sister
I ain't got a brother
I ain't got a father
Not even a mother
I'm a lonely boy
I ain't got a home

Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo

Well, I got a voice
And I love to sing
I can sing like a bird
And I can sing like a frog
I'm a lonely boy
I ain't got a home

I ain't got a girl
I ain't got a son
I ain't got no kin
I ain't got no one
I'm a lonely frog
I ain't got a home

Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo

Madam, take me in
Let me be your friend
Won't you take me in
Let me be your friend
I'm a lonely boy
I ain't got a home

Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo

I can't wheel
I can't deal
Since you walked out on me
Holy smoke, what you doing to me?

I can't eat
And I can't sleep
Since you walked out on me
Holy cow, what you doing, child, child?

Holy cow, what doing, child?
(What you doing, what you doing, child?)
Holy smoke, well it ain't no joke
(No joke) hey, hey, hey

First my boss
The job I lost
Since you walked out on me
Holy smoke, what you doing to me?
Walking the ledge
Nerves on edge
Since you walked out on me
Holy cow, what you doing to me, child?

Holy cow, what doing, child?
(What you doing, what you doing, child?)
Holy smoke, well it ain't no joke
(No joke) hey, hey, hey

Holy cow, what doing, child?
(What you doing, what you doing, child?)
Holy smoke, well it ain't no joke
(No joke) hey, hey, hey

Well, it's an ill wind that blows no good
And it's a sad one that won't love like I know it should
And oh, how lonesome you must be
And it's a shame if you don't share your love with me

It's a heartache when love is gone
But it's bad, even sad, later on
Oh, there's no one blinder than he who won't see
And it's a shame if you don't share your love with me

Well, I can't help it when she is gone
You must try to forget, oh, you must live on

And I know it's a good thing to love someone
But it's bad, even sad, when it's not returned
And oh, how lonesome you must be
And it's a shame if you don't share your love with me
And it's a shame if you don't share your love with me

Play a little blues? Paul Butterfield…

Train arrive 16 coaches long
Train arrive 16 coaches long
Well that long black train
Took my baby and gone

Train, train rollin' around the bend
Train, train, train, rollin' around the bend
Well it took my baby
Away from me again

Come down to the station
To meet my baby at the gate
Asked the station master
If my train's a-running late
He said "If you're a-waiting
on the 444
I hate to tell you son
That train don't stop here any more"

Train train, train, rollin', around the bend
Train train, train, rollin', around the bend
Well it took my baby
Away from me again

-Solo-

Heard that whistle blowin'
It was the middle of the night
When I got down to the station
The train was pulling out of sight

Mystery train rollin' around the bend
Mystery train rollin' around the bend
Well it took my baby
Away from me again

When a zither starts to play
You'll remember yesterday
In its haunting strain
Vienna lives again

Free and bright and gay
In your mind a sudden gleam
Of a half forgotten dream
Seems to glimmer when you hear
The Third Man Theme

Once again there comes to mind
Someone that you left behind
Love that somehow didn't last
In that happy city of the past

Does she still recall the dream
That rapture so supreme
When first she heard the haunting
Third Man Theme

Carnivals and carousels
And ferris wheels and parasols
The Danube nights
The dancing lights again will shine
The zither's sweet refrain
Keeps swirling in your brain

Like new May wine
Strauss waltzes, candle-glow
And the laughter of long ago
Fill the magic chords
And make it seem like today

You never knew that you could be
Enchanted by a melody
The years will never drive it out
You don't know why

It's something you can't live without
You hear it in the twilight hush
And in the morning traffic rush

A song that's always new
In your heart a part of you
Oh, shines so brightly when you hear
The Third Man Theme

When a zither starts to play
You'll remember yesterday
In its haunting strain
Vienna lives again

Free and bright and gay
In your mind a sudden gleam
Of a well remembered dream
Seems to glimmer when you hear
The Third Man Theme

Once again there comes to mind
Someone that you left behind
Love that somehow didn't last
In that happy city of the past

Does she still recall the dream
That rapture so supreme
When first she heard the haunting
Third man theme

Carnivals and carousels
And ferris wheels and parasols
The Danube nights
The dancing lights again will shine

The zither's sweet refrain
Keeps swirling in your brain
Like new May wine

Strauss waltzes, candle glow
And the laughter of long ago
Fill the magic chords
And make it seem like today

You never knew that you could be
Enchanted by a melody
The years will never drive it out
You don't know why

It's something you can't live without
You hear it in the twilight hush
And in the morning traffic rush

A song that's always new
In your heart a part of you
Oh, shines so brightly when you hear
The Third Man Theme

I left my home in Norfolk Virginia
California on my mind
I boarded that Greyhound
Rode in into Raliegh on across Caroline

Stopped in Charlotte to by pass Rockhill
We never was a minute late
We were ninty miles out of Atlanta by sundown
Rollin' out of Georgia state

We had motor trouble that turned into a struggle
Halfway across Alabam
And that bow broke down
And left us stranded in downtown Birmingham

Right away I bought a through train ticket
Got across Mississippi clean
And I was on that Midnight Flyer out of Birmingham
Smokin' into New Orleans

Somebody help me get out of Louisiana
Help me get to Houston Town
There are people there who care a little 'bout me
And won't put the poor boy down

Georgia born, they bought me a silk suit
And put luggage in my hand
And woke up high over Albuquerque
On a jet to the promised land

Workin' on a T-bone ala cartee
Flyin' over to the Golden State
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
He would set us at the terminal gate

Swing low chariot, come down easy
Taxi to the terminal door
Cut your engines and cool your wings
And let me make it to the telephone

Los Angeles, give me Norfolk Virginia
Tidewater four ten o nine
Tell all the folks back home
It's the promised land callin'
And the poor boy is on the line

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Pretending that I'm doing well
My need is such, I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I play the game, but to my real shame
You left me to dream all alone

Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

Well, I'm ready, I'm willing, and I'm able
To rock and roll all night
I'm ready, I'm willing, and I'm able
To rock and roll all night
Come on, pretty baby
We're gonna rock it, gonna roll it
'Til tomorrow night

'Cause I'm ready, uh huh huh
And I'm willing, uh huh huh
I'm willing and I'm able so you better come and go with me
We're gonna rock and roll
Until tomorrow about three

Talking on the phone is not my speed
Don't send me no letters 'cause I can't read
Don't be long, 'cause I'll be gone
We're gonna rock and roll all night long

'Cause, I'm ready, I'm willing, and I'm able
To rock and roll all night
I'm ready, I'm willing, and I'm able
To rock and roll all night
Come on, pretty baby
We're gonna rock it, gonna roll it
'Til tomorrow night

Talking on the phone is not my speed
Don't send me no letters 'cause I can't read
Don't be long, 'cause I'll be gone
We're gonna rock and roll all night long

Well, I'm ready, I'm willing, and I'm able
To rock and roll all night
I'm ready, I'm willing, and I'm able
To rock and roll all night
Come on, pretty baby
We're gonna rock it, gonna roll it
'Til tomorrow night

I used to smoke
I used to drink
I used to smoke, drink and dance the hootchie-koo
I used to smoke and drink, smoke and drink and dance the hootchie-koo
It's true
Now I'm standing on this corner
Praying for me and you

That's why I'm saved
I am saved
People, let me tell you about Kingdom come
You know I'm saved
Saved
I said I'm gonna preach it 'til you're deaf and dumb

I used to cuss
I used to fuss
I used to cuss, fuss and boogie all night long
I used to cuss and fuss, cuss and fuss and boogie all night long
Now I'm standing on this corner
I know right from wrong

Because I'm saved
I am saved
People, let me tell you about Kingdom come
You know I'm saved
Saved
I said I'm gonna preach it 'til you're deaf and dumb

I used to lie
I used to cheat
I used to lie, cheat and step on people's feet
I used to lie and cheat, lie and cheat and step on people's feet
Now I'm standing on this corner
Salvation is my beat

That's why I'm saved
I am saved
People, let me tell you about Kingdom come
You know I'm saved
Saved
I said I'm gonna preach it 'til you're deaf and dumb

I was born by the river in a little tent
And just like that river I've been running ever since
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
Cos I don't know what's out there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

And then I go to see my brother
And I ask him to help me please
And he just winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees

There were times when I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
Cos I don't know what's out there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
