BURY ME DOWN BY THE RIVER
By
Bee Gees
***************
I wasn’t born in the morning, no
I must have been born in the night
I’ve done my load and I’ll carry my load
And all I own is my life
I wasn’t born to be lucky ,
’cause luck had no future with me
I’ve done my wrong and I’ll sing, sing, sing my song
and stand beneath the hanging tree
Bury me down by the river
Let all the towns people see
Their enemy’s dead, let me lay, lay my head
Just put me down and set me free
I wasn’t born as a rich man, no
A rich man I never, I never could be
I’ve done my wrong and I’ll sing, sing, sing my song
And stand beneath the hanging tree (Everybody sing now)
Bury me down by the river, lord no
Let all the towns people see, see
Their enemy’s dead, let me lay, lay, lay my head
Just put me down and set me free
(I want to hear everybody sing)
Bury me down by the river
Let all the towns, let all the towns people see
Their enemy’s dead, let me lay, let met lay, let me lay my head along
Just put me down and set me free (set me free)
ALONE AGAIN
***************
‘Leaving’ that’s all you ever seem to say and I’m tired
The wants you have me for have expired
Sleeping and reading ev’ry book I can find to get my mind off
In all I was a soul you were using
I am alone again
You can’t believe the tears that I’ve shed
I’m on a bound down train
Don’t desert me now or I am dead
People , the sun is going down on your heads so read your paper
There’s no one there for you to confide in
It’s instinct to always to have a shoulder to cry on
And to rely on
Someone there to share and to shine on
I am alone again
You can’t believe the tears that I’ve shed
I’m on a bound down train
Don’t desert me now or I am dead
I am alone again
You can’t believe the tears that I’ve shed
I’m on a bound down train
Don’t desert me down or I am dead
MAN FOR ALL SEASONS
***************
Everybody wants to leave
Just like you and I
I have all year to smile
A tear for every eye
Life closed it’s eyes, broke my world, now I cry
I’ve got to tell you, I’ve got the reasons
‘Cause I’m a man, a man for all seasons, alive
And would I pray
What makes the world go round
I haven’t got today
My mind is lost and found
Life closed it’s eyes and said goodbye, now I cry
But I’ve got to tell you, I’ve got my reasons
‘Cause I’m a man, a man for all seasons, alive
And would I pray what makes the world go round
I haven’t got today, my mind is lost and found
Du du du du du du du
I’m a man for all seasons
I’m a man for all seasons
I’m a man for all seasons
I’m a man for all seasons
CUCUMBER CASTLE
***************
There where the trees, see the grass, a Pinkerton spy
Said “This is the place I will try, ” and he did.
Stood in the dark, sat a man who beckoned him in,
But leaving his grass was a sin, but he did.
Cucumber Castle be ever so humble it’s home.
He saw the light in the cellar reflect in his eyes,
Yet early that morning was he to receive a surprise.
Cucumber Castle be ever so humble it’s home.
Cucumber Castle be ever so humble it’s home.
Said ‘Are you leaving or are you receiving my friend?
Doest need any money till then” and he did.
He said “I’m the owner, not you, and this is my stead,
So give it to me now I’m dead, and he did, said:
Cucumber Castle be ever so humble it’s home.
Cucumber Castle be ever so humble it’s home.
CRYIN’ EVERY DAY
***************
I wasn’t born to be alone that was a lesson I was shown
To know that love was just a lie
I ran away to think it over
But it’s over and I try to take a stand on what is real
Someone has shown me how to feel
I’m like a shadow in the night
I’m like a river in an ocean
I’m a flame without a light
And now I’m cryin’ ev’ry day
And I’ve been cryin’ ev’ry day
And I been think’ of your love
I keep turnin’ I keep turnin’
I keep turnin’ I keep turnin’
Well your love is a cathedral and I came down here to pray
And now I’m cryin’ ev’ry day
Can there be any wonder why to be living under
love is a revelation only few can share
I could be a mountain strong but the pain about you
Long as I live without you
I would still be there
I wanna die, die away
Never love,never cry
And I been walkin’ in the rain
And I been hangin’ on a dream
All the faces and the places that our love has ever been
Now I’m cryin’ ev’ry day
And I been cryin’ ev’ry day
And I been thinkin’ of your love
I keep turnin’ , I keep turnin’
I keep turning’, I keep turnin’
Well your love is a cathedral and I came down here to pray
And now I’m cryin’ ev’ry day
Can there be any wonder why to be living under
love is a revelation only few can share
I could be a mountain strong but the pain about you
Long as I live without you I would still be there
I wanna die, die away
Never love, never cry
I wasn’t born to be a fool but I’m a fool to be around
I’m a man without a country I’m a King without a crown
And then you’re throwin’ me away
Another world , another time
But if anyone belongs to anybody you were mine
And I’m cryin’ ev’ry day
And I been cryin’ ev’ry day
And I’ve been thinkin’ of your love
I keep turnin’ I keep turnin’
I keep turnin’ I keep turning’
Well your love is a cathedral and I came down here to pray
And now I’m …
I CAN’T SEE NOBODY
***************
I walk the lonely streets; I watch the people passing by.
I used to smile and say hello. Guess I was just a happy guy.
Then you happened,girl, this feeling that posessses me.
I just can’t move myself. I guess it all just had to be.
I can’t see nobody…no, I can’t see nobody.
Mine eyes can only look at you…you.
I used to have a brain; I used to think of many things.
I watched the falling rain and listened to the sweet birds sing.
Don’t ask me why, little girl. I love you and that’s all I can say.
You’re ev’ry ,ev’ry breath I take.You are my nights; my night and day.
Every single word you hear…is coming from this heart of mine.
I never felt like this before…a love like yours so young and fine.
And now as I try to forget you…it doesn’t work out any way.
I loved you such a long time ago…but in my eyes you’ll always be.
Every single word you hear…is coming from this heart of mine.
I loved you such a long time ago…don’t know why…
And I don’t know why…baby…
