Poor Boy
Me i'm just a poor boy, from across the far southland,
And i've traveled many days to reach this place to mke my stand,
I fell in with a merry band, and drank away the hours.
Chorus
Rollin' on, i've been rollin' on,
And my head is high, from the battle won,
Laid down my life for the greenwood
The city boys, and the country boys, they come from miles around,
To defy their king and country, save the poor folks from the hand,
Of the thieving dukes and abbotts, and the gentry of the land.
Chorus
Rollin' on, i've been rollin' on,
And my head is high, from the battle won,
Laid down my life for the greenwood
Sweet maid marion, don't you do me no wrong,
Stay on the right side, the greenwood is your home,,
The dancing girls and the open fires, the wine that flows like water.
Chorus
Rollin' on, i've been rollin' on,
And my head is high, from the battle won,

Summer & Lightning
I have waited
For your love
For so long
How do I go on?
I have told you
So many times
Its no good
Youre treating me so wrong.
Out there so far away
Above the sky will say
For you...
Here it comes again
Its all around me
It must be magic
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I can see you
In my mind
The lost time
That youre saving
I could reach out

Weekend
Friday night and everythings right on the weekend
Crazy clothes and anything goes on the weekend
John called in and jim got sue
I made a date with a little ol jew
Off he went to make a date on the weekend
No harm done, just having some fun on the weekend
Cartop down, just a ridin around on the weekend
Took a ride to lookout hill
The view up there was sure a thrill
That was all, we had a big fall on the weekend
There we were just sitting cool and cozy
I just had time to steal a little kiss
A police with a flashlight tried to nose in
He said, holy mackerel there, what is all this?
No harm done just having some fun on the weekend
Took a chance on crashin a dance on the weekend
We were almost inside the place
Then some boy slammed the door in my face
Hey you guys, you gotta wear ties on the weekend
Crazy clothes and anything goes on the weekend

Borderline
Take me to the heart of you,
Take me to the heart of you,
Take me, take me, take me, take me,
Take me to the heart of you.
Take me to your heart and then
Take me to your heart and then
Take me, take me, take me, take me,
Take me to your heart again.
Take me where the fields are green,
Take me where the fields are green,
Take me, take me, take me, take me,
Take me where the fields are green.
Take me to your heart somehow,
Take me to your heart somehow,
Take me, take me, take me, take me,
Take me cause I need you now.
Take me to cross your borderline,
Take me to cross your borderline,
Take me, take me, take me, take me,
Take me to cross your borderline.

Tonight
Thats the road, its over there
And leading down to nowhere,
This is the age when your alowed to have your own care,
If you will have some pride to plan your life ahead
Instead of waiting till your old in your bed.
Chorus:
Ill be over tonight, if you say you might,
Ill be over tonight, indeed to put you right.
Well, I know you wrote on your overcoat,
But you dont want to take it too far, oh I think you wont
But I know you dont, but you always say that you are right.
Im so used to waiting thats entirely your decision
And dont be restricted by the weightless views your given.
If you will have some pride to fight and front a head
Instead of saving till your young heart is dead.
Chorus
Never let riches that may ever be within you,
Show some concern for all the love that you have been through,
If you will have some pride to plan your life ahead,
Instead of waiting till your old in your bed.

Rock n Roll Is King
Listen everybody let me tell you bout the rock n roll
Feel that rhythm and its really gonna thrill your soul
She said come along with me, to a land of make believe
She said rock n roll is king
She loves that rock n roll and she plays it all night long
Thats all she ever tells me when I call her on the telephone
She says feel that jumpin beat, and git up on your feet
She says rock n roll is king
Chorus: oh let those guitars play
Play for me play for me
Oh let that song ring out
Thats how its meant to be
It rolls like a train thats comin on down the track
She rolled over beethoven and she gave tchaikovsky back
She loves that drivin beat, she goes dancin on down the street
She said rock n roll is king
Chorus
When she comes around and Im listenin to the radio
She says you cant do that cause all I wanna do is rock n roll
Now here Im gonna stay where that music starts to play

Every Night
Ive got rocket for your parade
Heavy breathing for you made in the shade
Ive got an itch that just wont quit
I see in that dress that just dont fit
I see you walking with that twobit boy
I see you laughing but Im no toy
Chorus
I know what you do every night every night
I know what you do when you turn out the light
I see what you do every night every night
And I want you to do it to me
You learned that jive on mtv
That mumbo jumbo just dont work on me
Slam bang baby ala kazam
Dont disrespect me Im a stand-up man
I see you laughing when you slam the door
I see you with him I cant take any more
Chorus
I know what you do every night every night
I know what you do when you turn out the light

Hello Susie
Everybody sat here waiting for the train to come
Just lay down a bright red carpet for her to step on
Lookin to the bend I see her waving her hands at me
Her looks were tanned and quite amazing as she ran to me
Hello susie, hello susie
Tell me the news about yourself
Hello susie, hello susie
Tell me that youve enjoyed yourself
Frantically she knocked me over
Causing such a scene
Shook the crowd enough to sway
The interest from the queen
Her black transistor socked out
One oclock radio
Completely drowned the band
And loud enough to stop the show
Chorus
Yes sir rock n roll the day away
Come on everybody
They all seem too keen to make the scene

Whisper In The Night
Whisper in the night
Over silent evening air
Angels gown shines white
All at once youre glad shes there
Daughter of your dream shine a guiding light for me
For Ill be here till light
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me
Night turns into gold
So the tide may turn today
Though God gave the world
Its not mine to throw away
Daughter of your dream shine a guiding light for me
For Ill be here till light
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me
La da da -- da
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me
Help to face what the day may bring

Aint Necessarily So
(slow)
It aint necessarily so
No, it aint necessarily so
These things that youre liable,
To read in the bible.
No it aint necessarily so
(jammin)
You bet that you cant be wrong.
No place where you dont belong.
Theres nothin you dont know.
But it aint necessarily so
To you theres never no doubt.
Its either in or its out.
You sure put up quite a show.
But it aint necessarily so
I said hold, let your bad self go.
Hold on, caus you already know.
Its never maybe or might.
To you its black or its white.
If I say yes you say no.
