With the funny things she do
I seen her with the milkman
Ridin' down the street
When you're through with my baby
Milkman, send her home to me

I seen her with the gypsies
Dancin' in the wood
She's always been unfaithful to me
She ain't never been no good
I say, "Please don't talk to strangers, baby"
But she always do
She say, "I'll talk to strangers if I want to
'Cause I'm a stranger, too"
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
You know it's been so long
Since she have been gone
Hold on, hold on, hold on

And we can listen to it burn
You hide behind the oak tree
You hide behind the oak tree
Stay out of danger 'til I return

Oh, it's so good

On a cold night

To have a fire
E
Burnin' warm and bright
You hide behind the oak tree
You hide behind the oak tree
Stay out of danger 'til I return
Slide guitar over verse chords
Let's burn down the cornfield
Let's burn down the cornfield
And I'll make love to you while it's burnin'
And I'll make love to you while it's burnin'
Mama Told Me Not To Come
G7
Will you have whiskey with your water or sugar with your tea?
What are these crazy questions that you're asking me?
This is the wildest party that there ever could be
Oh, don't turn on the lights 'cause I don't want to see

Mama said "that ain't no way to have fun"
Open up the window, let some air into this room
I think I'm almost choking on the smell of stale perfume
And the cigarette you're smoking 'bout to scare me half to death
Oh, open up the window, let me catch my breath
Mama told me not to come...
The radio is blastin', someone's knockin' on the door
The hostess is not lastin', she's passed out on the floor
I've seen so many things that I ain't never seen before
I don't know what it is but I don't wanna see no more
Mama told me not to come...
Suzanne
G
I saw your name, baby
D
In a telephone booth
D
And it told all about you, mama
G
Boy, I hope it was the truth
I took down your number
Looked up your address, Sue
And I was hopin' maybe
You could love me too
I'm gonna wait in the shadows
For you to come by
I'm gonna wait in the shadows
For you to come by
And then I'll jump from the shadows
And try and catch your eye
I'm gonna run my fingers through your hair
And love you everywhere
C
Now I don't want to get too romantic
That's just not my way
G
But when I get my arms around you
D
I'm gonna rock you all the night, gonna rock you all the day
Suzanne, you won't know it
But I'll be behind you
Don't try and run away from me, little girl
Wherever you go I'll find you, yes I will
And when you go to the pictures
And I know you do, yes, I know you do
Don't take no one with you 'cause I'll be there too

Lover's Prayer
Bb
C
F
Don't send me no young girl to love me
With their eyes shinin' bright
All the young girls are afraid of me
Send me a woman tonight
Don't send me no hand holdin' baby
'Cause I been with babies before
Don't send me nobody that's crazy
Don't send me no young girls no more
I was entertaining a little girl in my rooms, Lord
With California wines and French perfumes, Lord
She started to talk to me about the war, Lord
I said, "I don't want to talk about the war"
Don't send me nobody with glasses
Don't want no one above me
Don't send nobody takin' night classes
Send me somebody to love me
Please answer my prayer
Please answer my prayer
Please answer my prayer
Lucinda
C7
We met one summer evening as the sun was going down
C7
She was lying on the beach in her graduation gown
F
C7
She was wrapped up in a blanket, I could tell she knew her way around
G7
C7
And as I lay down beside her, you know she never made a sound
On down the beach came the beach-cleaning man
Scoopin' up the papers and flattening down the sand
"Lucinda, Lucinda, Lucinda, we've got to run away
That big white truck is closin' in and we'll get wounded if we stay"
Now Lucinda lies buried 'neath the California sand
Put under by the beach-cleaning man
Lucinda, Lucinda, Lucinda, why'd you have to go?
G7
F7
They sent her to high school, they sent her to low school
C7
She just wouldn't go further
Yellow Man
Very far away in a foreign land
Live the yellow woman and the yellow man
He's been around for many-a-year
They say they were there before we were here
Eatin' rice all day
While the children play
You see he believes in the family
Just like you and me
Oh, yellow man, oh, yellow man
We understand, you know we understand
He keeps his money tight in his hand
With his yellow woman, he's a yellow man
Got to have a yellow woman
When you're a yellow man

Rosemary, won't you come out tonight?
D
The moon is shining and the stars are bright
G7
If you stay inside, how can I love you, dear
F7
C
When you're up there and I'm down here?
Come on down, we'll take a walk in the park
I know a place there where it's nice and dark
I'll hold yours, baby, and you'll hold mine
I'm thinking about you all the time
Hear that wind blow through your window
And I call your name
I need you so, baby, I'm ready to go, baby
Ain't that a shame?
Take your shoes off, come with me
Take your shoes off
Rosemary, won't you come out tonight?
The moon is shining and the stars are bright
If you stay inside, how can I love you, dear
When you're up there and I'm down here?

If You Need Oil
There ain't no moon, there ain't no stars
Have to close up soon 'cause there ain't no cars
Got no radio, got no telephone
I'm just awful bored and I'm so alone
Baby, please come to the station
And I'll wipe your windshield clean
If you need oil, I'll give you oil
And I'll fill your tank with gasoline
Baby, please come to the station
You know I get so lonely there
Bring some wine for inspiration
And wear a ribbon in your hair
Hear those dogs bark
Man, they can feel this cold
And it's so dark
I need your hand to hold
Baby, please come to the station
You know I need you so tonight
Come and put your arms around me
Baby, come and hold me tight
Please, baby, come to the station
I've taken all that I can take
Baby, how can you be sleeping
When you know that I'm awake?

No, it sure confuse my thinking
I'm goin' out into the drugstore
Buy myself a goat
Tie him up in my front yard
For all my so-called friends to see
Ain't nobody gonna look in my window and laugh at me
Been up so long that it looks like down to me
F
Ab
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
Bb
F
Baby, are you against me too?
Had a great idea the other night, oh, what if...
Coma-ti-yi-yippie, baby, look out
When the bloom of the night meets the gold of the day
