Mr. Bojangles
I knew a man, Bojangles and he danced for you
In worn out shoes
Silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants
The old soft shoe
He jumped so high
He jumped sp high
Then he'd lightly touch down
I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I was
Down and out
He looked to me to be the eyes of age
As he spoke right out
He talked of life
He talked of life
He laughed, clicked his heels and stepped
He said his name, Bojangles and he danced a lick
Across the cell
He grabbed his pants, a better stance
Oh, he jumped so high
Then he clicked his heels
He let go a laugh

Dont Think... Feel
Words and music by neil diamond
Sleepy old sun, sleepy old day,
Sleepy old tree gonna make me some shade.
Sleepy old time on my side of town,
Im feelin fine, Ill explain to you now.
Dont think, feel; aint no big deal.
Just make it real and dont think, feel.
It dont take plans to clap your hands,
When it feels nice just dont think twice.
Some worry all day bout who they can trust,
Some worry all night bout money and lust.
Worry they do and worried they die--
And after theyre gone just the bankers cry.
Dont think, feel; aint no big deal.
Just make it real and dont think, feel.
It dont take plans to clap your hands,
When it feels nice just dont think twice.
Life is a card, you take what you get.
You do what you can to feel no regret.
You do what you can, forget about words,

Blues Highway
Words and Music by Neil Diamond and Harlan Howard
So long, big city; it's time to say goodbye.
I'm longing for those country roads;
I need to see the sky.
Think I'll take a swing down south, visit Tennessee.
See if that girl Annie still remembers me.
Gonna take that blue highway and leave this sorry town.
Stayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm bound.
I don't wanna take the interstate; it represents all the things I hate.
I'm rollin' down that blue highway.
So long, confusion; it's time to slow things down.
Say goodbye to my old friends, ease on out of town.
I made me some money here but paid for ev'ry day.
And ev'ry mile just makes me smile, 'cause I made my getaway.
Gonna take that blue highway and leave this sorry town.
I've stayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm bound.
I've had it up to here with worry.
From now on, I'm in no hurry, rollin' down that blue highway.
I'll be ridin' that blue highway and leave this sorry town.
I've stayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm bound.

Lady Magdelene
Words and music by neil diamond
The man on the right is a man undone
Hed give you his soul if you asked him for some.
A child in his way for he needs to believe
That love is a song for each man to sing.
The man on the left is a prize unwon
A candle unlit and a song unsung.
Believing that love is a dreamers dream,
The man on the left the me in between.
Lady magdelene, I can hear your distant trumpet
Calling from the morning mountain,
Singing to the passing river.
Take me home, show me peaceful days before my youth has gone.
The man in between waits between the two
Not hearing the lie and not seeing the true.
Unknowing what is and denying what seems
And there he will sleep the man in between.
Lady magdelene, I can hear your distant trumpet
Calling from the morning mountain,
Singing to the passing river.

Only You
Written by: neil diamond
Only you
You and the night and the right kind of music
And ony you
Theres only you
And only the moments that weve spent together will ever do
And only me
Me like the fool with his head in the cloud
Could belive
But I believe
Dreams will come true
With only you
And so I dreamed
Ill wait for the moment Im praying and hoping that what I dreamed
Will soon come true
Ill have you forever and never be lonely again
Not only friends, but lovers too
With only you
Me, I was that fool on the hill
You know I will be waiting there still

Lonely Lady #17
Lonely lady one, she run away.
And number two, she do the same.
Lady number three walk out on me
Like number four.
Whos keeping score?
Lady five, oh how she lied.
She made me pay some dues.
Six and seven, eight, nine, ten,
They really were bad news.
Oh no, theyd only break my heart.
Thats how it seems.
And then I finally came upon
A lady seventeen.
Lonely lady number seventeen,
She stayed a while.
She had the style.
Lonely lady number seventeen,
She got to be with lonely me.
Lonely, lonely lady number seventeen, yeah.
Lonely lady!

The Drifter
Written by: neil diamond
Well, I am the drifter
I walk the highways
I cross the river
That rolls on forgotten
I sing for the living
Live for the trying
But whats it about
If you got to be trying alone
And Im the dreamer
Who climbed the mountain
Who saw forever
Across the ocean
But you found me waiting
And knew that I would
Be lost forever
I kept on trying alone
They call me the drifter
And I walk the highways
I crossed every river

Acapulco
There's love in the air
Well can you feel it now?
There's love in the air
And that's nice
You're learnin' a lot
About each other's ways
You're learnin' a lot
Ain't that right
You work like a dog, to try and get it good
You work with your heart, every day-ay
You know when you're through
You're gonna take your friend and - get - away
To Acapulco (to Acapulco ...)
That's where they'll find us (find us there ...)
In sunny blue waters
Where the sand is warm and friendly
Hey Acapulco, (hey Acapulco ...)
I hear you softly calling (I hear you call ...)
We're sailin' around the horn of love to Acapulco
It's good and it's bad, when things are goin' right

Save Me
Written by: neil diamond
Hey I know
When the wind comes blowing across the meadows
It sings your name
And Ive seen
The starry nights fall across the ghettos
It sings the same
And I feel
The light in your eye
And its calling me
Stay, just a little bit longer
It burns
Like a fiery star
In the midst of the night
And its pulling me under
Can anybody save me, save me
Save me from the storm
Save me, save me
Save me, fore Im gone
Im only a man

Dont Turn Around
Written by: albert hammond, dianne warren
If you wanna leave
I wont beg you to stay
And if you gotta go, darlin
Maybe, its better that way
Im gonna be strong, gonna be fine
Dont worry about this heart of mine
Just walk out that door and see if I care
Go on and go now
But dont turn around
cause youre gonna see my heart breaking
Dont turn around
I dont want you seeing me cry
Just walk away
Its tearing me apart that youre leaving
Im letting you go
But I wont let you know
I wont miss your arms around me
Holding me tight, so tight, real tight
And if you ever think about me
