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

I'm a high night flier and a rainbow rider
And a straight-shooting son of a gun.

Joy To The World (1971)

But I'm just a natural born travelin' man
Doin' what I think I should, oh yeah
Doin' what I think I should.

And we could have been sweethearts, forever and ever,
Could have loved a whole lot more, been a little more true.

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

God damn, I say The Pusher
I said God damn, God damn The Pusher man.
