01.. Who'll Stop The Rain
The rains been comin' down
Clouds of mystery falling,
Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages
Tryin' to find the sun
And I wonder, still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain
I went down Virginia,
Seeking shelter from the storm
Caught up in the fable
I watched the tower grow.
Five year plan for new year,
Wrapped in golden chains
And I wonder, still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain
Heard the singers playing,
How I cheered for more
Crowd had rushed together,
Tryin' to keep warm
Still the rain kept falling,
Falling on my head
And I wonder, still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain
02.. Have You Ever Seen the Rain
Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm.
I know, it's been coming for some time.
When it's over so they say
It'll rain on a sunny day.
I know, shining down like water.
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
Coming down on a sunny day.
Yesterday and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard.
I know, it's been that way for all my time.
Till forever on it goes
Through the circle fast and slow.
I know, and it can't stop I wonder.
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
Coming down on a sunny day.
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
Coming down on a sunny day.
03.. Cotton Fields
When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle,
In them old cotton fields back home;
It was down in Louisiana,
Just about a mile from Texarkana,
In them old cotton fields back home.
Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton,
In them old cotton fields back home.
04.. Bad Moon Rising
I see the bad moon arisin'
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
I see bad times today
Don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
I hear hurricanes ablowin'
I know the end is comin' soon
I fear rivers overflowin'
I hear the voice of rage and ruin
Don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
Alright
Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye
Well, don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
Don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
05.. Indian Reservation
They took the whole Cherokee Nation
And put us on this reservation
Took away our ways of life
The tomahawk and the bow and knife
They took away our native tongue
And taught their English to our young
And all the beads we made by hand
Are nowadays made in Japan
Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die
They took the whole Indian Nation
And locked us on this reservation
And though I wear a shirt and tie
I’m still a red man deep inside
Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die
But maybe someday when they learn
Cherokee Nation will return
Will return
Will return
Will return
Will return
06.. Down on the Corner
Early in the evenin' just about supper time
Over by the courthouse they're startin' to unwind
Four kids on the corner tryin' to bring you up
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp
Down on the corner, out in the street
'Willy And The Poor Boys' are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile
Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for a while
Poor Boy twangs the rhythm out on his Kalamazoo
And Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo
Down on the corner out in the street
'Willy And The Poor Boys' are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Down on the corner, out in the street
'Willy And The Poor Boys' are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
You don't need a penny just to hang around
But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down?
Over on the corner there's a happy goal
People come from all around to watch the magic boy
Down on the corner, out in the street
'Willy And The Poor Boys' are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Down on the corner, out in the street
'Willy And The Poor Boys' are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Down on the corner, out in the street
'Willy And The Poor Boys' are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Down on the corner, out in the street
'Willy And The Poor Boys' are playin'
07.. Lookin' Out My Back Door
Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm singin'
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door
There's a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin' high heels
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn
A dinosaur Victrola list'ning to Buck Owens
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon
Wond'rous apparition provided by magician
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon
Bother me tomorrow, today I'll buy no sorrow
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door
Forward troubles, Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn
Bother me tomorrow, today I'll buy no sorrow
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door

09.. Proud Mary
Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
If you come down to the river
Bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money
People on the river are happy to give
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
10.. Molina
Moli-i-i-i-na, where you goin' to?
Moli-i-i-i-na, where you goin' to?

Drivin' in a blue car she don't see no red light
Moli-i-i-i-na, where you goin' to?
Moli-i-i-i-na, where you goin' to?

11.. Green River
Well, take me back down where cool water flows, yeah.
Let me remember things I love,
Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite,
Walkin' along the river road at night,
Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight.
I can hear the bullfrog callin' me.
Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree.
Love to kick my feet 'way down the shallow water.
Shoefly, dragonfly, get back t'your mother.
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River.
Welllllll!Up at Cody's camp I spent my days,
Oh,With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers.
Old Cody, Junior took me over,
Said, "You're gonna find the world is smould'rin'.
And if you get lost come on home to Green River."
Welllllll!Come on home.
12.. Fortunate Son
Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white, and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief"
They point the cannon right at youIt ain't me,
It ain't meI ain't no senator's sonIt ain't me,
It ain't meI ain't no fortunate one
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
Lord, dont they help themselves
But when the tax man comes to the door,
Lord the house looks like a rummage saleIt ain't me,
It ain't meI ain't no millionaire's sonIt ain't me,
It ain't meI ain't no fortunate oneS
ome folks inherit star spangled eyes,
Ooh, they send you down to war
And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
They only answer "More! More! More!"
It ain't me, it ain't meI ain't no military sonIt ain't me,
It ain't meI ain't no fortunate oneIt ain't me,
It ain't meI ain't no fortunate one
13.. Up Around The Bend
There's a place up ahead and I'm goin'
Just as fast as my feet can fly
Come away, come away if you're goin'
Leave the sinkin' ship behind
Come on the risin' wind
We're goin' up around the bend
Bring a song and a smile for the banjo
Better get while the gettin's good
Hitch a ride to the end of the highway
Where the neons turn to wood
Come on the risin' wind
We're goin' up around the bend
You can ponder perpetual motion
Fix your mind on a crystal day
Always time for good conversation
There's an ear for what you say
Come on the risin' wind
We're goin' up around the bend
Catch a ride to the end of the highway
And we'll meet by the big red tree
There's a place up ahead and I'm goin'
Come along, come along with me
Come on the risin' wind
We're goin' up around the bend
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do

16.. Old Time Rock and Roll
Just take those old records off the shelf
Ill sit and listen to em by myself
Todays music aln t got the same soul
I like that old time rock n roll
Dont try to take me to a disco
Youll never even get me out on the
In ten minutes Ill be late for the door
I like that old time rockn roll
Still like that old time rockn roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock n roll
Wont go to hear them play a tango
I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul
Theres only sure way to get me to go
Start playing old time rock n roll
Call me a relic, call me what you will
Say Im old-fashioned, say Im over the hill
Today music aint got the same soul
I like that old time rock n roll
Still like that old time rockn roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock n roll
