JimJim & the FatBoys Bottle Up & Go Lyrics (scroll down for other songs)Bottle Up & Go (Track 1) Lightning Hopkins
I used to have a gal, she was little and
low
She used to love me but she don't no mo' she just....
Bottle up and go, just
bottle up and go
Listen to me tell ya, tell
ya, ya Bottle up and go.
I went downtown to have a little fun,
Up stepped a sheriff with a big shotgun he said, "Ya Bottle
up...
I know a woman she lives way upstairs
She makes her living by putting on airs, she just...
A nickel is a nickel, a dime is a dime
You shake yours and baby I'll shake mine, ya just...

What the Hell (Winfield Song) (Track 3) Jim Pierce & Jeff Lilley
I was sittin' here at Winfield, drinkin'
beer and eatin' dogs
Thinkin', Boy I've got that bull right by the horns
When distinctly from the trailer, on the phone Old Liz was wailing:
"Gary, Hon, the car is making a funny noise." Chorus
"What...
the... hell do you want me to do?
I'm a hundred miles away from
there, and all you do is stew
I can't fix that thing from
here, dear, call a neighbor, call a friend
What the hell do you want
me to do?
Thinkin' maybe she had heard me,
It distressed me as she held the phone outside
"Gary," she replied, "honey can't you hear that
whine?"
I said, "Yes, my dear, I think it's mostly you." Chorus
"You don't love me," she replied.
"Sure I do," I said, [I lied]
"But my arms don't reach that far to fix your car"
She was sobbin' on the phone, beggin' me to come on home
And I sang these words to her from afar:
On the way back home from Winfield, out
on Highway 35
My old pickup started steamin' from the hood
I called home to get assistance, But Old Liz said, "You're
Long Distance!"
And what's when I heard her issue this reply:
What...
the... hell do you want me to do?
I'm a hundred miles away from
there, and all you do is stew
I can't fix that thing from
here dear, call the auto club, call Steve
What the hell do you want
me to do?
What the hell do you want
me to do?
Sticky, Sweaty (Sunday Morning Sunday School Blues) (Track 4) Steve Eulberg
Woke up this mornin'
Sweat was runnin' from my brow (x2)
Well, I got myself up, I don't know how
Haul myself off to the church somehow Chorus
I've got the Sticky, Sweaty, Summer Morning Sunday School Blues.
All my neighbors gone fishing
Well, I'm going fishin', too. (x2)
Jesus got me on a fishin' rendezvous
Fishin' for people like me & you
I've got the Sticky, Sweaty, Summer Morning Sunday School Blues.
Still Dead (Track 5) Jim Babcock
Still Dead. Day after day I am dead.
I did not do the crime, but I'm doin' lots of time; Still dead.
Still dead. Year after year I am dead.
You made a mistake, my eternal fate Is dead. Chorus
I
am dead, I am dead, I am dead, for a long, long time.
I am dead, I am dead, I am
dead, for a long, long time.
And because I'm dead, you
think I don't even mind.
Still dead. Decade after decade I am dead.
Celestial rehabilitation's just a fabrication. I'm dead.
Still dead. Century after century I am dead.
Electric chair therapy really sets me free. Real dead. Chorus
Still dead. Millenium after Millenium I'm
dead.
I've got a reprieve and I would be free, But I'm dead.
Still dead. I wake up every day and I am
dead.
You made a mistake, my eternal fate, Is dead. Chorus
Still dead.

My Woman (Track 7) Steve Eulberg
My woman, my woman, she holds me, oh, so
tight
.....she makes me feel alright
....when she is out of my sight
I just wake up cryin' in the middle of the night.
My woman, my woman, she keeps me warm at
night
.....with her eyes alight
.....she makes my life so bright
I just wake up smilin' in the middle of the night.
Roseville Fair (Track 8) Bill Staines ©Mineral River Music
O the night was clear and the stars were
shining
And the moon came up, so quiet in the sky
And the people gathered 'round and the band was a-tuning
I can hear them now playin "Comin' thru the Rye"
You were dressed in blue and you looked
so lovely
Just a gentle flower of a small town girl
You took my hand and we stepped to the music
And with a single smile you became my world. Chorus
And
we danced all night to the fiddle and the banjo
Their drifting tunes seemed
to fill the air
So long ago, but I still remember
When we fell in love at the
Roseville Fair.
Now we courted well and we courted dearly
And we'd rock for hours in the front porch chair
Then a year went by from the time that I met you
And I made you mine at the Roseville Fair. Chorus
So here's
a song for all the lovers
And here's a tune that they
can share
May they dance all night to
the fiddle and the banjo
The way we did at the Roseville
Fair.

Fish Ain't Bitin' (Track 10) James A Peterson
I was over in East Texas 'round Jefferson
town
They had no catfish, so I turned around, Chorus
Well
the fish ain't bitin' the fish ain't bitin' no more.
Well they're takin' up the
catfish and grindin' up their bones.
Reverend Warren got himself a catfish farm
Said, "Put the worm on the hook and let the line on down."
Chorus
Red River runs deep, Red River runs wide
See my baby on the other side, Chorus
Call your lawyer on the telephone
Tell'em you're leavin' Texas on the next Greyhound, Chorus
Chechen Christmas (Track 11) Jeff Lilley
Silent night, Holy Night Silent night, Holy
Night
Where's the baby cryin'? Is his mother dyin'?
Has the world lost all it's light? Chorus
Ring the Bell, light
up the tree
Announce the year of Jubilee
Hark the herald angels sing
This child still seeks the
newborn king.
Silent Child, Holy Child Silent Child, Holy
Child
Sweet and broken promise Darkness swallows laughter
Once you played so sweet and mild Chorus
Mary's Child, Holy Child Mary's Child, Holy
Child
Come to break the silence Bring light to this darkness
Sing a song eternal life Chorus
Silent night, Holy Night Silent night, Holy
Night
Where's the baby cryin'? Is his mother dyin'?
Has the world lost all it's light? Chorus
Ashgrove/Minuet In G (Track 12) (Instrumental) Traditional /J.S. Bach
Mountain Dulcimer Quartet
Open Water (Track 13) Jeff Lilley
Open Water makes me happy
As long as I'm with you, my friend
Moonless nights out on the water
Are nearly heaven, partly Zen. Chorus
So
cut the anchor loose and trim the jib up hard
We're on a journey to the
center of the stars
Pour a rum or twelve-year
Scotch for two
We'll dream we fin'lly left
our living room
Tropic seas and mile-long beaches
wait
On the flip-side of our dreams
Come on, babe, let's take the kids and run
From this stale midwestern scene
Bridge:
It's not too late to shed convention
To take a risk and let it go
Make a break for warmer waters
Drink some rum and let it blow Chorus
Open water makes me happy
But open fields are all I see
Sittin' here inside my living room
Watchin' Oprah on TV. Chorus
The Lord Will Make A Way (Track 14) Thomas A Dorsey ©Unichappell Music
Like a ship that's tossed and driven, Battered
by angry sea
When the storms of life are ragin', and their fury falls on me
I wonder what I have done, that makes this race so hard to run?
Then I say to my soul, "Take courage!" The Lord will
make a way somehow Chorus
You
know the Lord will make a way somehow
the Lord will make a way somehow
I say to my soul, "Take
courage!"
The Lord will make a way somehow
Try to do my best in service, try to live the best I can
When I choose to do the right thing, evil's present on every hand
I look up and wonder why that good fortune seems to pass me by
Then I say to my soul, "Be patient!" The Lord will make
a way somehow Chorus
You
know the Lord will make a way somehow
the Lord will make a way somehow
I say to my soul, "Be
Patient!"
The Lord will make a way somehow
Often there's misunderstanding out of all the good I try to do
Go to friends for consolation, I find them complainin', too.
So many nights I toss in pain wonderin' what the day will bring
But I say to my heart, "Don't you worry!" The Lord will
make a way somehow Chorus
You
know the Lord will make a way somehow
the Lord will make a way somehow
I say to my soul, "Don't
you worry!"
The Lord will make a way somehow
