Titolo: Suzanne
(by Leonard Cohen)
Suzanne takes you down
To her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know she’s half crazy
But that’s why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to giveher
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you’ve always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know she will trust you
For you’ve touched her perfect body
With your mind
Now Jesus was a sailor
When he walked opon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drownding men could see him
He said
All men shall be sailors then
Until the sea shall freethem
But he himself was broken
Long before the skys would open
Foresaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom
Like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you’ll trust him
For he’s touched your perfect body
With his mind
Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She’s wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our Lady of the Harbor
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and theflowers
There are heros in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
They will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know you can trust her
For she’s touched your perfect body
With her mind

Titolo: Seminole Wind
(John Anderson)
Ever since the days of old
Men would search for wealth untold
They’d dig for silver and for gold
And leave the empty holes
And way down south in the Everglades
Where the black water rolls and the saw grass waves
The eagles fly and the otters play
In the land of the Seminole
So blow, blow Seminole wind
Blow like you’re never gonna blow again
I’m calling to you like a long lost friend
But I know who you are
And blow, blow from the Okeechobee
All the way up to Micanopy
Blow across the home of the Seminole
The alligators and the gar
And progress came and took its toll
And in the name of flood control
They made their plans and they drained the land
Now the glades are going dry
And the last time I walked in the swamp
I sat upon a Cypress stump
I listened close and I heard the ghost
Of Osceola cry
So blow, blow Seminole wind
Blow like you’re never gonna blow again
I’m calling to you like a long lost friend
But I know who you are
And blow, blow from the Okeechobee
All the way up to Micanopy
Blow across the home of the Seminole
The alligators and the gar

Titolo: Some Days You Gotta Dance
(Troy Johnson-Marshall Morgan)
It was about five till five on Friday
We were all getting ready to go
And the boss man started screaming
And his veins began to show
He said you and you come with me
‘Cause you’re gonna have to stay
My heart was thumping, I was jumping
I had to get away
Some days you gotta dance
Live it up when you get the chance
‘Cause when the world doesn’t make no sense
And you’re feeling just a little too tense
Gotta loosen up those chains and dance
Well, I was talking with my baby
Over a small glass of tea
He asked the loaded question
He said how do you feel about me
My mind was racin’, I was pacin’
But the word just wouldn’t come
And there was only one thing
Left to do I feel it comin’ on
Some days you gotta dance
Live it up when you get the chance
‘Cause when the world doesn’t make no sense
And you’re feeling just a little too tense
Gotta loosen up those chains and dance
Some days you gotta dance
Live it up when you get the chance
‘Cause when the world doesn’t make no sense
And you’re feeling just a little too tense
Gotta loosen up those chains and dance
You gotta loosen up those chains and dance
Come on and loosen up those chains and dance

Titolo: Why Baby Why
(Darrell Edwards-George Jones)
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby
Lord, I can’t help but love you ’til the day that I die
So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby why
Well I got a crow I wanna pick with you
Just like last time when the feathers flew
You’re runnin’ wild kickin’ up your heels
A-leavin’ me home with a hand full of bills
Lord, I can’t live without you and you know it’s true
But there’s no livin’ with you so what’ll I do
I’m goin’ honky tonkin’, get as tight as I can
And maybe by then you’ll ‘preciate a good man
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby cry
No, I can’t help but love you ’til the day that I die
So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
Well, now I don’t know, but I’ve heard say
That ever’ little dog is a-gonna have his day
You’d better pay attention, don’t you dare forget
‘Cause I’m just a little bitty puppy yet
Well, I caught you honky tonkin’ with my best friend
The thing to do was leave you, but I should’a left then
Now I’m too old to leave you, but I still get sore
When you come home a-feelin’ for the knob on the door
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby
Lord, I can’t help but love you ’til the day that I die
So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby why
Tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby why
