Remind me Thursday unless someone else wants to post them. I won't have access to my computer until then and I've grown accustomed to tabs. Argh. This version of Explorer doesn't have a spell check I can find.

The Joker Steve Miller Band 1973

Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me maurice
Cause I speak of the pompitous of love

People talk about me, baby
Say Im doin you wrong, doin you wrong
Well, dont you worry baby
Dont worry
Cause Im right here, right here, right here, right here at home

Cause Im a picker
Im a grinner
Im a lover
And Im a sinner
I play my music in the sun

Im a joker
Im a smoker
Im a midnight toker
I sure dont want to hurt no one

Im a picker
Im a grinner
Im a lover
And Im a sinner
I play my music in the sun

Im a joker
Im a smoker
Im a midnight toker
I get my lovin on the run
Wooo wooooo

Youre the cutest thing
That I ever did see
I really love your peaches
Want to shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Ooo-eee baby, Ill sure show you a good time

Cause Im a picker
Im a grinner
Im a lover
And Im a sinner
I play my music in the sun

Im a joker
Im a smoker
Im a midnight toker
I get my lovin on the run

Im a picker
Im a grinner
Im a lover
And Im a sinner
I play my music in the sun

Im a joker
Im a smoker
Im a midnight toker
I sure dont want to hurt no one

Wooo woooo

People keep talking about me baby
They say Im doin you wrong
Well dont you worry, dont worry, no dont worry mama
Cause Im right here at home

Youre the cutest thing I ever did see
Really love your peaches want to shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time

Take me to the river
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmEBlrRRMBQ
here are the lyrics so feel freel to sing along and take my earworm from me :)

Take Me To The River
Talking Heads


I don't know why I love her like I do
All the changes you put me through
Take my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet
I wanna know that you'll tell me
I love to stay

Take me to the river,
drop me in the water
Take me to the river,
dip me in the water
Washing me down,
washing me down

I don't know why you treat me so bad
Think of all the things we could have had
Love is an ocean that I cant forget
My sweet sixteen
I would never regret
I wanna know that you'll tell me
I love to stay

Take me to the river,
drop me in the water
Push me in the river,
dip me in the water

Washing me down,
washing me
Hug me, squeeze me, love me, tease me
Till I cant, till I cant,
till I cant
take no more of it


Take me to the water,
drop me in the river
Push me in the water,
drop me in the river
Washing me down, washing me down


I don't know why
I love you like I do
All the troubles you put me through
Sixteen candles there on my wall
And here am I the biggest fool of them all
I wanna know that you'll tell me
I love to stay


Take me to the river
and drop me in the water
Dip me in the river, drop me in the water
Washing me down, washing me down.

I love me some David Byrne :)

Thanks for the lyrics on "Blinded by the light". Always wondered what the were saying on the chorus. Sounded like douche instead of deuce but that didn't make any sense. Neither does deuce.

like this thread, thanks for posting all those songs. I love to sing and sometimes even play the guitar. Although my stepson broke it, and it doesn't sound right anymore :( (that's why I only play it sometimes.)

Yes, thank you for posting the lyrics! I love to read the words of which I'm unsure.

Now......if someone can post the words to Jumpin' Jack Flash and Louie, Louie! :lol:

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Blinded By the Light Lyrics

sorry i just had to note that springsteen wrote this song and has a much better version than manford man IMHO

if any one has bluegrass requests i can handle most of them im sure
heres one of my favorites


im gonna back to the country
i cant pay no rent
ma and pa are surely gonna wonder
bout all the money i spent
they wont understand
just where it went

i aint broke but brother im badly bent

i went to the city
and all my money i spent
met alot of good looking girls
and that where my money went
i dont understand
just how fast it went

i aint broke but brother i am badly bent

well im going back to counrty
ill be livin in a tent
(momentary lapse of memory when playing just make up words)


i aint broke but brother im badly bent
