I'm a high night flier and a rainbow rider
And a straight-shooting son of a gun.
Joy To The World (1971)
Some people say I'm a no count, others say I'm no good
But I'm just a natural born travelin' man
Doin' what I think I should, oh yeah
Doin' what I think I should.
Greenback Dollar (1963)
And we could have been sweethearts, forever and ever,
Could have loved a whole lot more, been a little more true.

All the boys and girls, now,
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

Travel where you will and grow to be a man
And sing what must be sung, poor boy
Sing what must be sung."

Jeremiah was a bull frog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine.

The dealer for a nickel
Lord, will sell you lots of sweet dreams
Ah, but the pusher ruin your body
Lord, he'll leave your, he'll leave your mind to scream.

Tighest of knots is the noose
Why oh why did I kill that man
Now I'll never get loose

And over mountains tall
I believed in the bad land sayin'
"A good gun never falls"

Spend it fast as I can for a wailin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand, oh yeah.

I believe in Jesus
An' what the Bible said
An' I am fairly certain
He had himself a heavy head. He scared the lyin' people
So bad, they hung him dead
An' they never even listened
To what he really said.
Joy To The World (1971)
So hold my hand, I'm going down fast,
And if I return, I'll never more be blue
It's not the leaving of all I love that makes me cry
But my darling, when I think of you.
And I dream in the morning that she brings me water
And I dream in the evening that she brings me wine
Just a poor man's daughter from Puerta Piñasco
South of the border, in old Mexico.
You know I've smoked a lot of grass
O' Lord, I've popped a lot of pills
But I never touched nothin'
That my spirit could kill.
The Pusher (1968)
When it all comes down
I hope it doesn't land on you
When the truth is found
I hope it will be true to you. All I'm sayin' is have a nice day
I hope it doesn't rain on your parade
An' when it all comes down
I hope it doesn't land on you.
Joy To The World (1971)
You know, I've seen a lot of people walkin' 'round
With tombstones in their eyes
But the pusher don't care
Ah, if you live or if you die
The Pusher (1968)
Well you could have been lonely every night now,
Could have cried a whole lot more, been a little bit blue
Oh, you could have been lonely, for your one and only,
You could have loved me as much as I love you.
