you are my sugar daddy apple cinnamon chocolate fudge
you’re everything indulgent and easy to love
you are my man in black with a walking stick
you got a worn top hat that brings the rain
you got magic deep inside your toes
you’re a ragtime clown with a rubber nose
well hey gals isn’t he grand
he’s the best magician in the whole land
he can walk on fire, dance through air
pull a diamond ring out behind his ear
he’s a gentle daddy with a gentle smile
but plays the piano like a wild child
smokes a storm and shares his wine
he’s my, he’s my, my magician
my magican
you are my sugar daddy apple cinnamon chocolate fudge
you’re everything indulgent and easy to love
you are my man in black with a walking stick
you got a worn top hat that brings the rain
you got every gal in town in red
they’re all knocking on the door for my magician
well hey gals isn’t he grand
he’s the best magician in the whole land
he can walk on fire, dance through air
pull a diamond ring out behind his ear
he’s a gentle daddy with a gentle smile
but plays the piano like a wild child
smokes a storm and shares his wine
he’s my, he’s my, my magician
my magician
my magician
my magician
you are my magician

black cat, lost friend
where you at, oh how you been
we used to play in the dark
lie on the grass underneath the stars
I’d tell you stories
I’d sing you songs
I’d run to you the moment I got home
oh to go back in time
childhood friend of mine
with green eyes that always shined
human in disguise
black cat, lost friend
where you at, oh how you been
I keep expecting to see you in mother’s garden
flat on your back
with a wide, wide grin
oh to go back in time
childhood friend of mine
with green eyes that knew
it was time
human in disguise
black cat, lost friend
where you at, oh how you been

In Bisbee

Cowboy Jack tipped his hat
marked a red dot on the Southern map
to Bisbee, to Bisbee
rode his horse straight into town
had a real good look around
in Bisbee, in Bisbee
met a woman with long dark hair
she said “You can tie your horse over there”
in Bisbee, in Bisbee
and in the cool of the night
you can still hear them sigh
in Bisbee
Cowboy Jack was the talk of the town
made all the women blush and all the men frown
in Bisbee, in Bisbee
fell in love with the mayor’s wife
thought her rosy lips felt nice
in Bisbee, in Bisbee
she held him close, took his hand
said “I want you to be my man”
in Bisbee, in Bisbee
and the in cool of the night
you can still hear them sigh
in Bisbee
stole his love from her satin room
put her on his his horse and said let’s move
In Bisbee, in Bisbee
made it halfway out of the town
when the mayor and his boys
shot them down
in Bisbee, in Bisbee
the mountains trembled
and the night stars cried
Cowboy Jack lost his life
in Bisbee, in Bisbee
and in the cool of the night
you can still hear them sigh
in Bisbee

Blue Eyed Lola

walking to the market 6 o’clock sharp
Blue Eyed Lola’s got her golden harp
it’s alright, it’s alright if it’s alright with you
give her a dime and she’ll play a song or two
where did she come from, where does she go
hair shines like gold dust
face white as snow
it’s alright, it’s alright if it’s alright with you
give her a dime and she’ll play a song or two
the sick and the helpless, the down and outs
come to see Lola, healed when they go out
it’s alright, it’s alright if it’s alright with you
give her a dime and she’ll play a song or two
some say she’s an angel
some say she’s a witch
Carrie Smith swears she saw her
move the sun with her pitch
move the sun with her pitch
it’s alright, it’s alright if it’s alright with you
give her a dime and she’ll play a song or two
it’s alright, it’s alright if it’s alright with you
give her a dime and she’ll play a song or two

Blackberry Rain

blackberry rain brings blackberry tears
blackberry rain brings blackberry tears
blackberry rain makes blackberry wine
fill your cup and wipe your eyes
it seems like yesterday she tightly held his hand
picking blackberries on his daddy’s farmland
her feet turned purple, her lips were stained
blackberry kisses falling down like rain
blackberry rain brings blackberry tears
blackberry rain brings blackberry tears
blackberry rain makes blackberry wine
fill your cup and wipe your eyes
they carved their name into an old oak tree
made garland crowns out of blackberries and leaves
their eyes shined bright, their heart shared a song
but like a candle the flame is gone
blackberry rain brings blackberry tears
blackberry rain brings blackberry tears
blackberry rain makes blackberry wine
fill your cup and wipe your eyes
and oh how she moans when she remembers the taste
of blackberry kisses falling down like rain
taste so sweet, it can never be described
blackberry rain makes blackberry wine
blackberry rain brings blackberry tears
blackberry rain brings blackberry tears
blackberry rain makes blackberry wine
fill your cup and wipe your eyes
fill your cup and wipe your eyes
