It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe,
It don't matter, anyhow.
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe,
If you don't know by now.
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn, Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm travelin' on,
Don't think twice it's all right.
It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe,
Light I never know'd
It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe,
I'm on the dark side of the road.
Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say To try and make me change my mind and
stay,
We never did too much talkin' anyway,
Don't think twice it's all right.
I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe, Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye is too good a word gal,
So I'll just say fair-thee-well
I ain't saying you treated me unkind,
You could uh done better, but I don't mind
You just sorta wasted my precious time,
Don't think twice it's all right.
It ain't no use in callin' out my name gal,
Like you never did before
It ain't no use in callin' out my name gal,
I can't hear you anymore.
I'm a thinkin' and a wonderin' all the way down the road I once loved a woman, a child I'm told,
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul,

I
Out in the west Texas town of El Paso, I fell in love with a Mexican girl.
Night time would find me in Rose's Cantina, music would play and Felina would whirl.
Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina, weaving her evil while casting her spell.
My love was strong for this Mexican maiden, I was in love but in vain I could tell.
II
Right then a wild young cowboy came in, wild as the west Texas wind.
Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing, with wicked Felina, the girl that I love. So in anger,
I I challenged his right for the hand of this maiden, down went his hand for the gun that he wore.
My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat, the handsome young stranger lay dead on
the floor.
Just for a moment I stood there in silence, shocked by the foul evil deed I had done.
Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there, I had but one chance and that was to run.
II
Out through the back door of Rose's I ran, out where the horses were tied.
I picked a good one, he looked like he could run, up on his back and away I did ride. Just as fast
as I could,

I Out from the west Texas town of El Paso, up through the badlands of New Mexico.
Back in El Paso my life would be worthless, everything's lost, nothing is left.
/ INSTRUMENTAL LINE /
But it's been so long since I've seen the young maiden, my love is stronger than my fear of death.
II
I saddled up and away I did go, riding alone in the dark.
Maybe tomorrow a bullet will find me, today nothing's worse than this pain in my heart. And at
last her I am,
I
On a hill overlooking El Paso, I can see Rose's Cantina below.
My love is strong and it pushes me onward, down off the hill to Felina I go.
Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys, off to my left ride a dozen or more.
Shouting and shooting, I can't let them catch me, I've got to make it to Rose's back door.
II
Something is dreadfully wrong, for I feel, a deep burning pain in my side.
Though I am trying to stay in the saddle, I'm getting weary, unable to ride. But my love for,
I
Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen, though I am weary I can't stop to rest.
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle, I feel the bullet go deep in my chest.
From out of nowhere Felina has found me, kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side.
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for, one little kiss and Felina goodbye.

Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine, I bet I'd move on a little
farther down the line,
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay,
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor child
And me, oh Lord, was one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gambling man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your life in sin and misery
In the house of the Rising Sun
Well it's one foot on the platform
And one foot on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor child
And me, oh Lord, was one

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis, pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans.
And I never saw the good side of a city, till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen.

Wish that I was on ole Rocky Top
Ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top
Down in the Tennessee hills.
Ain't no telephone bills.
I
Once there was a girl on Rocky Top
Wild as a mink, sweet as soda pop,
Half bear the other half cat.
I still dream about that.
II
Rocky Top, you'll always be
Good ole Rocky Top,
Tennessee.
Home sweet home to me.
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top
I
Once two strangers climbed on Rocky Top Lookin' for a moonshine still.
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top Guess they never will.
I
Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top
Dirt's too rocky by far.
Get their corn from a jar.
II
Rocky Top, you'll always be
Good ole Rocky Top,
Tennessee.
Home sweet home to me.
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top

Tell her to wash it in yonder dry well,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Where never sprung water or rain ever fell, Then she’ll be a true love of mine..
Tell her to dry it on yonder grey thorn,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Which never bore blossom since Adam was born, Then she’ll be a true love of mine.
Now he has asked me questions three,
I hope he'll answer as many for me
Tell him to buy me an acre of land,
Between the salt water and the sea sand,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Before he’ll be a true love of mine.
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Then he’ll be a true love of mine.
Tell him to plough it with a ram's horn,
And sow it all over with one pepper corn,
When he has done and finished his work.
Oh, tell him to come and he'll have his shirt,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Then he’ll be a true love of mine.
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme:
And he shall be a true love of mine.

So long, it's been good to know yuh. This dusty old dust is a-gettin' my home,
And I got to be driftin' along.

In the month called April, county called Gray, here's what all of the people there say:

A dust storm hit, an' it hit like thunder;
It dusted us over, an' it covered us under;
Blocked out the traffic an' blocked out the sun, straight for home all the people did run, singin

We talked of the end of the world, and then We'd sing a song an' then sing it again.
We'd sit for an hour an' not say a word,
And then these words they would be heard:

II
Sweethearts sat in the dark and sparked, they hugged and kissed in that dusty old dark.
They sighed and cried, hugged and kissed, Instead of marriage, they talked like this honey

Now, the telephone rang, an' it jumped off the wall, that was the preacher, makin' his call
He said, "Kind friend, this may the end; An' here’s your last chance of salvation of sin!"

The churches was jammed, the churches was packed, that dusty old dust storm was
blowin so black
Preacher could not read a word of his text, so he took up collection and

Where's that gal with the red dress on, some folks call her Dinah
Stole my heart away from me down in Louisiana

The little bee sucks the blossom, the big bee gets the honey
The poor man picks the cotton, but the rich man gets the money

I went down to the railroad, laid my head across the track
And then I thought about that gal of mine, well I gradually eased it back

There was a sign there that tried to stop me that sign was posted, said "no trespassing."
But on the back side it didn't say nothing
that side was made for you and me.

A voice was sounding as the fog was lifting,
