So Tired
(4:33)
Simmonds



I'm tired of being a fool
And my mind going from hot to cool
And trying to conform to others ideas
And someone else's rules

The life I'm living ain't mine
I'm supposed to feel that's fine
I didn't make the world I'm living in
And I ain't gonna toe the line

I'm tired of trying to be something I know ain't me
I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be
You know some people are different
Now ain't that a crying shame
Now wouldn't be a real drag if we were all the same

And I'm not going to try to please
Eyes that just don't see
If I get myself together
You'll have the blues not me

I'm tired of trying to be something I know ain't me
I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be
You know some people are different
Now ain't that a crying shame
Now wouldn't be a real drag if we were all the same

And I'm not going to try to please
Eyes that just don't see
If I get myself together
You'll have the blues not me

You'll have the blues not me




Let It Rock
(5:33)
Simmonds / Raymond



Rock and Roll on the radio
Hear it every place I go
Stick McGhee singing Spo-Dee-O
Let it rock to your very soul

Well the Jacquet on the saxophone
Plays it like you never heard before
Can't you feel him getting so high
Let it rock to your very soul

Well Let It Rock to your very soul
Rock to your very soul
Hear it on the radio
Rock to your very soul
Well let it rock

Everybody knows they got to move
When they hear that funky rhythm move
When there's nothing left for you to do
Let it rock to your very soul

Well Let It Rock to your very soul
Rock to your very soul
Hear it on the radio
Rock to your very soul
Well let it rock

Jack The Toad
(6:33)
Lynton



Jerimiah said his peace and fell back in the road
He was shot by Coulee Reese
Who they nick-named Jack The Toad
Just across his shoulder just a little to the right
He heard the click of a 45 hammer
So he throws himself down and he hits the ground
Rolls right over and spins 'round
And with one good shot, just one good shot
He brings that villain right down
In true "Hour Western" manner

Bad, bad news, he was bad, bad news
I knew Coulee, Coulee never lost his cool

A legend grew and Jack The Toad knew
To back up all the talk
One day soon, preferably noon
He's going to have to take the long walk
A poker game and a fast stake
Of these Jack was the master
But a man called Pete
At the end of a dusty dusty street
He's just about six feet
Now he just might, you know he just might
He might be a lttle faster

Bad, bad news, he was bad, bad news
I knew Coulee, Coulee never lost his cool

I'll be blowed, I'll be blowed, I'll be blowed
It's Jack The Toad

I'll be blowed, I'll be blowed, I'll be blowed
It's Jack The Toad

Well it had to happen on a summers' day
When Jack was feeling good
But a friend of a friend, promised a friend of a friend
Promised a friend of a friend he would
But many brave men have said the same thing
Again and again and again
Now Jack, when he went out to face Pete
For the final showdown
He was just a little bit high
He'd been drinking and smoking
And he thought he was so fast
He made the last move
And that was the last move he made

Bad, bad news, he was bad, bad news
I knew Coulee, Coulee never lost his cool

Well now he's gone but his memory lives on
In the mind of every comic strip reader
Some say weren't Jack, some say was camphor
Some say he was just a bleeder
One fact, one fact remain, always be the same
Now on your way through life
Sometimes you just got to be a little bad
I knew Jack and, my goodness, he was bad
He was bad, bad news
You just got to be a little bad because, if you ain't
The great gun fighter in the sky
Ain't got no one to save
And if you're just a little bad
Just a little bad
Nobody forgets your name

Bad, bad news, he was bad, bad news
Bad, oh my goodness, Jack was bad news

Love Me Please
(7:25)
Simmonds



I love you darling, like a schoolboy loves a clown
With your painted face and lipstick I just couldn't put you down
And even though I knew you were bad and no good, I cried
Love me please

I cried all night, when you were out playin' your game
But you smile in the morning, had me loving you just the same
And even though I knew you were bad and no good, I cried
Love me please

So long, I hate to say goodbye
You could've loved me, but you didn't wanna try
And even though I knew you were bad and no good, I cried
Love me please

So long, I hate to say goodbye
You could've loved me, but you didn't wanna try
And even though I knew you were bad and no good, I cried
Love me please
Love me please
Love me please, you know I love you darling
Love me please




Tell Mama
(5:36)
Simmonds



Quit my job, aint got no money
Seems I have to leave this town
Packed my bags, run to the station
Board the train thats eastward bound

(chorus)
Tell Mama
And all the folks back home
Sometimes a man just feels
He's got to make it alone
Tell Mama
Why I'm leaving so soon
Because this life I live
Has got me sick through and through

Nothing to do, thats why I had to go
Seemed no use in hanging round
I can't stop now, the tickets in my hand
Board the train thats eastward bound

(chorus)
Quit my job, aint got no money
Seems I have to leave this town

(chorus)

Hellbound Train
(10:22)
Simmonds / Sylvester



Hellbound Train I'm on it's track
Too late now to turn my back
Conductor coming ticket in his hand
Come to claim my soul
Take me to his land

Hellbound Train I been so wrong
Too late now I'm moving on
Conductor standing watch in his hand
Got to get aboard take you to his land

I'm going down the road on the Hellbound Train
Take a long look lady 'cause you won't see me again
Take a last look lady, yes hard and long
'Cause I'm going down the road on the Hellbound Train

Hellbound Train driving slow
Move on down to the Hell below
Conductor please won't you lend a hand?
Got to get on board take me to your land

Yes I know I've been so wrong
Too late now I'm moving on
Hellbound Train I'm on it's track
Moving down I can't look back

I'm going down the road on the Hellbound Train
Take a long look lady 'cause you won't see me again
Take a last look lady, yes hard and long
'Cause I'm going down the road on the Hellbound Train

I'm going down the road on the Hellbound Train
Take a long look lady 'cause you won't see me again
Take a last look lady, yes hard and long
'Cause I'm going down the road on the Hellbound Train

Lost and flying down the road on the Hellbound Train
Lost and flying down the road on the Hellbound Train
Hand and hand with the devil




All I Can Do
(12:26)
Simmonds / Raymond



You've gone away
I'll get by somehow
Just right now
All I can do is cry
All I can do is cry
I tried to find
Why you said go
Now I know
All I can do is cry
All I can do is cry
Tell me why
You walked out that way
What can I say
All I can do is cry
All I can do is cry
I keep searching for an answer
As I sit here in my lonely room
Till I find a reason to keep living
All I can do is cry
All I can do is cry
All I can do is cry....Yeah
I keep searching for an answer
As I sit here in my lonely room
Till I find an reason to keep living
All I can do is cry
All I can do is cry
All I can do is cry
You've gone away
I'll get by somehow
Just right now
All I can do is cry
All I can do is cry
I tried to find
Why you said go
Now I know
All I can do is cry
All I can do is cry
All I can do is cry
