Johnny the Fox
Somewhere on the waterfront Johnny's hiding with a gun Swears he'll kill any man that tells his story He's ain't sorry for what he's done He broke into a drugstore Just to cure his daily need Didn't mean to shoot the guard But he was blinded by the greed Oh, Johnny See that nun, she's his sister She doesn't know that he's gone bad When they told it to his papa It drove the old man mad Just as his mother warned him From her dying bed It's alright to lose your heart But never lose your head Oh, Johnny Now the cops have got him surrounded And he doesn't stand a hope He wonders how he could be in so much trouble Over just a little dope Five to one he gets away That's the odds I'm going to give Five to four they blast him away Three to one he's going to live Oh, Johnny Oh, Johnny, you better run Back in the alley where he was slain Thought I heard something move Beside the trash can lay a heart and chain The picture had been removed Just another junkyard piece Looking for a bed It's alright to lose your heart But never lose your head Oh, Johnny *Lookout!*

Cocky Rocky, the rock and roll star He's got the talent to take him far Started out playing hotel bars Cocky Rocky, the rock and roll star Spent his time just looking for kicks Whipping out them tricks to pull the chicks Just have a chance every way he rips Come on Rocky take me into the night The neon streets are shining bright To all them queens you bring the light That cocky Rocky His belt is so tight Hits the stage, the show begins Dressed in black to make him thin The speed they flash and when he grins Sail away Rocky and nobody sings (?) Come on Rocky and throw the dice You threw it once, now throw it twice Heavy boys, they want a slice They paid their money, they want a choice Cocky Rocky, the rock and roll star He's got the talent to take him far And all he needs is that old guitar Cocky Rocky, the rock and roll star

It's midnight in the big city At the bar drinking all on my own Just thinking about that girl and me How something's going wrong Mister, tell me, what's my saving grace? The back room boys Were all telling me I'm a borderline case Back on the borderline one more time Seven beers and still sober It's time to change to something stronger I cannot take this scene no longer She could have told me it's all over Back in my home town The old place it's still the same But time can cast a spell over something You can't go back again Back on the borderline one more time Mister, fill me another Till I go crazy and it turn my mind around Just pass that bottle one more time And I'll slowly sip it down Jeanie, can I tell you? The shame of my disgrace It's just love or rejection For this borderline case Back on the borderline one more time I'm on my hands and knees crawling I'm begging you darling Back on the borderline one more time

Don't believe me if I tell you Not a word of this is true Don't believe me if I tell you Especially if I tell you that I'm in love with you Don't believe me if I tell you That I wrote this song for you There might be some other silly pretty girl I'm singing it to Don't believe a word For words are only spoken Your heart is like a promise Made to be broken Don't believe a word Words can tell lies And lies are no comfort When there's tear in your eyes Don't believe me if I tell you Not a word of this is true Don't believe me if I tell you Especially if I tell you that I'm in love with you Don't believe a word

In the year of the famine When starvation and black death raged across the land There were many driven by their hunger To set sail for the Americas In search of a new life and a new hope Oh but there were some who couldn't cope And they spent their life In search of fool's gold The old prospector He makes it to the four lane highway His old compadre He lies dead in the sand With outstretched hands He cries, "Are you going my way?" The people passing by don't seem to understand The curse of fool's gold Broken Joe just lying in a gutter He's gone as low as any man can be He calls for wine but they'll only serve him water The bartender say "We don't sell sympathy" He tells a strange story About his father How Sunday mornings they'd go down To the church on the corner As time grows older His thoughts they grow younger It is his wish To search no longer for fool's gold The vulture sits on top Of the big top circus arena He's seen this show before Knows someone is going to fall Just near the part Where the beautiful dancing tightrope ballerine Forgets that the safety net Isn't there at all Down he swoops with claws drawn to take her Razor sharp so savagely is she mauled Oh my god, is there no one who can save her? In steps the fox to thunderous applause Fool's gold

Johnny the Fox he called to Jimmy the Weed He said "Hey man, I know your name" I seen you cruising with the low riders Hanging out down on First street and Main Tuned into and listen to the Hoodoo Rhythm Devils Around the Bay They've got some crazy DJs Send you right out to heaven Jimmy the Weed for greed was taken aback Johnny the Fox you old sly cat Cleverly the Fox concealed his stash Crisp dollar bills leave no tracks In the back of a black cadillac The voodoo music travels Down Skid Row only black men can go The shady deal unravels Johnny the Fox, hot to hustle Jimmy the Weed won't use no muscle that cat's so sly, slick and subtle Johnny the Fox breaks out the bottle Tuned into and listening to The voodoo music travels The beating drum for the lonely one Sends you out to heaven

There's a girl I'll remember Oh for such a long, long time This girl I'll remember She was an old flame of mine Beneath the stars just sipping wine Young lovers then in summertime I'll always remember That old flame of mine Love, she comes and gove True love, she hides then shows My love, may I propose That love she comes and goes Two hearts together two hearts alight To keep us warm on winter nights With each dying ember I remember that old flame of mine Once this flame it did brightly blaze Among the ashes there still remains A glowing spark in my heart For that old flame of mine

At a point below zero There's no place left to go Six hundred unknown heroes Were killed like sleeping buffalo Through the devil's canyon Across the battlefield Death has no companion The spirit is forced to yield There goes the bandolero Through the hole in the wall He's a coward but doesn't care though In fact, he doesn't care at all The general that's commanding He's defending what he fears While the troops they are depending On reinforcements from the rear If God is in the heavens How can this happen here? In His name, they used the weapons For the massacre There is a point below zero Where the sun can see the land Six hundred unknown heroes Lay dead in the sand

Sweet Marie you mean a lot to me In my memory I hold you very dearly Once in all my dreams, my plans, hopes and future schemes There was sweet Marie But my home is where my heart is And my heart is not at home Whenever we are parted I feel so all alone With twilight falling The moon is calling sweet Marie What the sea tells only sea shells Are whispering sweet Marie Into the darkness goes this message sweet Marie Some lovers are sometimes parted They must end what they have started All that's left is the broken hearted, I must depart my sweet Marie Somewhere out in Arizona Such a long way from California I felt so alone there I was two thousand miles away from home there Tonight we're going to play Boston I still don't know what the hell is going on Oh but I wrote this song To keep me thinking on about my sweet Marie Sweet Marie you mean a lot to me This melody it keeps haunting me My sweet Marie In harmony, it's will me constantly, sweet Marie But my home is where my heart is My heart it's not at home Now that we are parted I feel so all alone
