Rich Woman
Written by Dorothy LaBostrie and McKinley Millet

I got a woman with plenty of money
She got the money and I got the honey

Called my baby late last night
She told me daddy everything was alright

I don’t have to worry ’cause she’s real fine
I know my baby she’s all mine

She give me a Cadillac a diamond ring
She told me Daddy don’t you worry ’bout a thing

She’s all mine and I’m so glad
She’s the best woman I ever had

Lyrics

Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us
Written by Sam Phillips

Strange things are happening every day
I hear the music up above my head
Though the sight of my heart has left me again,
I hear music up above

Secrets are written in the sky
Looks like I’ve lost the love I’ve never found
Though the sound of hope has left me again,
I hear music up above

Standing in my broken heart all night long
Darkness held me like a friend when love wore off
Looking for the lamb that’s hidden in the cross
The finder’s lost

I know I’ve loved you too much
I’ll go on alone to get through

I hear Rosetta singing in the night
Echoes of light that shine like stars after they’re gone
Tonight she’s my guide as I go on alone
With the music up above

Lyrics

Polly Come Home
Written by Gene Clark

If the wild bird could speak, he’d tell the places you have been
He’s been in my dreams, and he knows all the ways of the wind

Polly come home again
Spread your wings to the wind
I’ve felt much of the pain
As it begins

Dreams cover much time, still they leave blind the will to begin
I searched for you there, and now look for you from within

Polly come home again
Spread your wings to the wind
I’ve felt much of the pain
As it begins

Lyrics

Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)
Written by Phil and Don Everly

Some sunny day-hay baby
When everything seems okay, baby
You’ll wake up and find that you’re alone
’Cause I’ll be gone
Gone, gone, gone
Really gone
Gone, ga-gone, ’cause you done me wrong

Everyone that you meet baby
As you walk down the street baby
Will ask you why you’re walkin’ all alone
Why you’re on your own
Just say I’m gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, ga-gone, ’cause you done me wrong

And if you change your way baby
You might get back to stay baby
Ya better hurry up if ya don’t wanna be alone
Or I’ll be gone
Gone, gone, gone
Really gone
Gone, ga-gone, ’cause you done me wrong

Lyrics

Through The Morning, Through The Night
Written by Gene Clark

Believe me when I tell you
I will try to understand
Believe me when I tell you
I could never kill a man
But to know that another man’s holding you tight
Hurts me little darling
Through the morning, through the night

The bond has been broken
The promise you gave
The words that were spoken
I cannot be your slave
But to know that the trust you had in me is gone
Hurts me little darling
Through the night-time, through the dawn

I dreamed just last night
You were there by my side
Your sweet loving tenderness
Easing my pride
But then I awoke and found you not there
It was just my old memory of how much I care

Believe me when I tell you I will try to understand
Believe me when I tell you I could never kill a man
But to know that another man’s holding you tight
Hurts me little darling
Through the morning, through the night

7. Please Read The Letter

Lyrics

Please Read The Letter
Written by Michael Lee, Jimmy Page, Charlie Jones, Robert Plant

Caught out running with just a little too much to hide
Maybe baby everything’s going to turn out fine
Please read the letter I nailed it to your door
It’s crazy how it all turned out we needed so much more

Too late too late a fool could read the signs
Maybe baby you better check between the lines

Please read the letter I wrote it in my sleep
With help and consultation from the angels of the deep

Once I stood beside a well of many words
My house was full of rings and charms and pretty birds
Please understand me my walls came falling down
There’s nothing here that’s left for you but check with lost and found

Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote

One more song just before we go
Remember baby you gotta reap just what you sow
Please read my letter and promise me you’ll keep
The secrets and the memories that we cherish in the deep
Please read the letter I nailed it to your door
It’s crazy how it all turned out we needed so much more

Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote

Lyrics

Trampled Rose
Written by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan

Long way going to
Get my medicine
Sky’s the autumn grey of a lonely wren

Piano from a window played
Gone tomorrow, gone yesterday

I found it in the street
At first I did not see
Lying at my feet
A trampled rose

Passing the hat in church
It never stops going round

You never pay just once
To get the job done

What I done to me,
I done to you
What happened to the trampled rose?

In the muddy street
With the fireworks and leaves

A blind man with a cup I asked
Would he play “Kisses Sweeter Than Wine”

I know that rose,
Like I know my name
The one I gave my love,
It was the same
Now I find it in the street,
A trampled rose

9. Fortune Teller

Lyrics

Fortune Teller
Written by Naomi Neville

Went to the fortune teller
Had my fortune read
I didn’t know what to tell her
I had a dizzy feeling in my head

Then she took a look at my palm
She said son you feel kind of warm
She looked into her crystal ball
And said you’re in love

How could that be so
I thought of all the girls I know
She said when the next one arrives
You’ll be looking into her eyes

I left there in a hurry
Looking forward to my big surprise
The next day I discovered
That the fortune teller told me a lie

I hurried back down to that woman

As mad as I could be
I said I didn’t see nobody
Why had she made a fool out of me

Then something struck me
As if it came from up above
While looking at the fortune teller
I fell in love

Now I’m a happy fellow
’Cause I’m married to the fortune teller
I’m happy as we can be
Now I get my fortune told for free

Lyrics

Stick With Me Baby
Written by Mel Tillis

Everybody’s been a-talkin’; they say our love wasn’t real
That it would soon be over; that’s not the way I feel
But don’t worry, honey; let them say what they may
Come on and stick with me, baby; we’ll find a way
Yes, we’ll find a way

Everybody’s been a-talkin’; yes, the news travels fast
They said the fire would stop burnin’; that the flame wouldn’t last
But I don’t worry, honey; let them say what they may
Come on and stick with me, baby; we’ll find a way
Yes, we’ll find a way

Come on and stick with me, baby

Lyrics

Nothin'
Written by Townes Van Zandt

Hey mama, when you leave
Don’t leave a thing behind
I don’t want nothin’, I can’t use nothin’

Take care into the hall
And if you see my friends

Tell them I’m fine, not using nothin’

Almost burned out my eyes
Threw my ears down to the floor
I didn’t see nothin’, I didn’t hear nothin’

I stood there like a block of stone
Knowin’ all I had to know
And nothin’ more, man that’s nothin

Being born is going blind
And bowin’ down a thousand times
To echoes strung on pure temptation

Sorrow and solitude
These are the precious things
And the only words that are worth rememberin’

Hey mama, when you leave
Don’t leave a thing behind
I don’t want nothin’, I can’t use nothin’

Lyrics

Let Your Loss Be Your Lesson
Written by Milt Campbell

Once I had myself a good woman
But I just didn’t treat her right
I was always leaving
Living the party life

True love was waiting for me
I was much too blind to see
Till she told me she would leave me
I said that’s alright with me

Oh, but now she’s gone
I realize I lost the best thing there is
And my pride keeps telling me
Let your loss be your lesson

Heaven knows I miss her loving
Heaven knows how much I cry
Just to think that she had left me

And I know the reason why

I could tell she had been crying
That didn’t seem to bother me
’Cause I know there’s no one blinder
Than a fool who just couldn’t see

Oh, but now she’s gone
I realize I lost the best thing there is
And my pride keeps telling me
Let your loss by your lesson

Lyrics

Your Long Journey
Written by A.D. Watson and Rosa Lee Watson

God’s given us years of happiness here
Now we must part
And as the angels come and call for you
The pains of grief tug at my heart
Oh, my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey

Oh, the days will be empty
The nights so long without you my love
And when God calls for you I’m left alone
But we will meet in heaven above
Oh, my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey

Fond memories I’ll keep of happy ways
That on earth we trod
And when I come we will walk hand in hand
As one in heaven in the family of God
Oh, my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey
