I was your lover
You were my queen
You broke my heart
I gave up everything
I was your friend
But you were my foe
I told you that
I could not let you go
At night I hear the wind calling
Oh come back my darling
Oh banshee! oh banshee!
It keeps on calling me, keeps on calling me
We dance the night away
Oh we dance the night away
I won your heart
You took my soul
I love you then

Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed
Johnny the fox he called to jimmy the weed
He said hey man, I know your name
I seen you cruising with the low riders
Hanging out down on first street and main
Tuned into and listen to the hoodoo rhythm devils
Around the bay
Theyve got some crazy djs
Send you right out to heaven
Jimmy the weed for greed was taken aback
Johnny the fox you old sly cat
Cleverly the fox concealed his stash
Crisp dollar bills leave no tracks
In the back of a black cadillac
The voodoo music travels
Down skid row only black men can go
The shady deal unravels
Johnny the fox, hot to hustle
Jimmy the weed wont use no muscle
That cats so sly, slick and subtle
Johnny the fox breaks out the bottle

Downtown Sundown
If you want your freedom
There is nothing planned
If you really need him
I will understand
Please believe in love
I believe there is a God above
For love
And hes coming, yes hes coming
If you want to fly
Then fly away
All the cloudy skies
Belong to yesterday
Please believe in love
I believe there is a God above
For love
And hes coming, yes hes coming
In the shadows the swallow dies
No one knows the hobo hides
There is no need to apologize
This is the story of a downtown sundown

Things Aint Working Out Down At The Farm
There goes moses carrying his Bible book
Never has a problem, just has a cup
Its good clean alcohol and it fills you up
And here I go laughing like a fool, yeah
Things aint working out down at the farm
Got no bag or baggage or love to keep me warm
And I aint been in trouble since the day I was born
Things aint working out down at the farm
I used to spend my sunny days supping aways
Along came gogarty and he put me away
Down at the station was kept for strays
And I went laughing, geez he like busting me, he liked busting me
He caught me unawares and he made me strip naked
Oh I was scared, oh I was scared, I was shaking
And he said
Its you and me
And me and you
And me and me
And you and you
And me and me

Cowboy Song
I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail
A starry night, a campfire light
The coyote call, the howling winds wail
So I ride out to the old sundown
I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail
Lord, Im just thinking about a certain female
The nights we spent together riding on the range
Looking back it seems so strange
Roll me over and turn me around
Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground
Roll me over and let me go
Running free with the buffalo
I was took in texas I did not know her name
Lord, all these southern girls seem the same
Down below the border in a town in mexico
I got my job busting broncs for the rodeo
Roll me over and turn me around
Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground
Roll me over and let me go
Riding in the rodeo

Running Back
Im a fool now that its over
Can you guess my name?
I make my money singing songs about you
Its my claim to fame
When they say its over
Its not all over, theres still the pain
Id come running
Id come running back to you again
Oh Id come running
Id come running back to you again
If I said I was sorry
Would you still leave me?
I never thought youd go till you did
Believe me
When they say its over
Its not all over completely
cause Id come running
Id come running back to you again
Yes Id come running
Id come running back to you again

The Farmer
The Farmer (Lynott)
----------
Sure do appreciate y'all coming
Especially you Skinny Lizzy
Me and my cousin Frank
He's the one that robbed the bank
Bought some whiskey all can drink
And it's in the barn
You see Ma, she's passed away
And there's not much I can say
'Cept I'd like you all to pray
'Cause I don't know what we're gonna do, Lord help me!
Won't y'all come again
Won't y'all come?
Your faces keep us warm
Won't y'all come?
Pappa sits alone and all he does is moan and moan, moan and moan
So I put on my pin-striped suit
I wouldn't fill my pockets with loot
I went looking for the Reverend Luke way up north in Tennessee
