----------Tribute to Jesse James & The James-Younger Gang------------ To the rich man's bright lodges I ride in this wind On my good horse I call you my shiny Black Bess To the playhouse of fortune to take the bright silver And gold you have taken from somebody else As we go riding in the damp foggy midnight You snort, my good pony, and you give me your best For you know, and I know, good horse, 'mongst the rich ones How oftimes we go there an unwelcome guest I've never took food from the widows and orphans And never a hard working man I oppressed So take your pace easy, for home soon like lightning We soon will be riding, my shiny Black Bess No fat rich man's pony can e'er overtake you And there's not a rider from the east to the west Could hold you a light in this dark mist and midnight When the potbellied thieves chase their unwelcome guest I don't know, good horse, as we trot in this dark here if robbing the rich is for worse or for best They take it by stealing and lying and gambling And I take it my way, my shiny Black Bess I treat horses good and I'm friendly to strangers I ride and your running makes my guns talk the best And the rangers and deputies are hired by the rich man To catch me and hang me, my shining Black Bess Yes, they'll catch me napping one day and they'll kill me And then I'll be gone but that won't be my end For my guns and my saddle will always be filled By unwelcome travellers and other brave men And they'll take the money and spread it out .... + Informações

From the album Mermaid Avenue Lyrics by Woody Guthrie Music By Wilco One by one the teardrops fall as I write you One by one my words come falling on the page One by one my dreams are fading in the twilight One by one my schemes are fading fast away One by one the flowers fading in my garden One by one the leaves are falling from the trees One by one my hopes are vanished in the clouds clear One by one like snowflakes melting in the breeze One by one my hair is turning gray One by one my dreams are fading fast away One by one I read your letters over One by one I lay them all away One by one the days are slipping up behind you One by one the sweetest days of life go by One by one the moments stealing out behind you One by one she'll come and find not you or I One by one I hear the soft words that you whispered One by one I feel your kisses soft and sweet One by one I hope you'll say the words to marry One by one to one by one forever be. + Informações

The birds are singing in your eyes today Sweet flowers blossom in your smile The wind and sun are in the words you say Where might your lonesome lover be? Birds maybe singing in my eyes this day Sweet flowers blossom when I smile But my soul is stormy and my heart blows wild My sweetheart rides a ship on the sea. Though my soul is stormy and my heart blows wild Where might my lonesome lover be?. + Informações

Just wow what a song! Mountain Bed - Billy Bragg and Wilco from Mermaid Avenue Vol. II Lyrics Do you still sing of the mountain bed we made of limbs and leaves? Do you still sigh there near the sky where the holly berry bleeds? You laughed as I covered you over with leaves Face, breast, hips, and thighs You smiled when I said the leaves were just the color of your eyes Rosin smells and turpentine smells from eucalyptus and pine Bitter tastes of twigs we chewed where tangled wood vines twine Trees held us in on all four sides so thick we could not see I could not see any wrong in you, and you saw none in me Your arm was brown against the ground, your cheeks part of the sky Your fingers played with grassy moss, as limber you did lie Your stomach moved beneath your shirt and your knees were in the air Your feet played games with mountain roots as you lay thinking there Below us the trees grew clumps of trees, raised families of trees, and they As proud as we tossed their heads in the wind and flung good seeds away The sun was hot and the sun was bright down in the valley below Where people starved and hungry for life so empty come and go There in the shade and hid from the sun we freed our minds and learned Our greatest reason for being here, our bodies moved and burned There on our mountain bed of leaves we learned life's reason why The people laugh and love and dream, they fight, they hate to die The smell of your hair I know is still there, if most of our leaves are blown .... + Informações

Mermaid Avenue is a 1998 album of previously unheard lyrics written by Woody Guthrie, put to music written and performed by Billy Bragg and Wilco. The project was organized by Guthrie's daughter, Nora Guthrie. Mermaid Avenue was released on June 23, 1998. The project is named after a song "Mermaid's Avenue" written by Guthrie. This was also the street in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York on which Guthrie lived. According to American Songwriter Magazine, "The Mermaid Avenue project is essential for showing that Woody Guthrie could illuminate what was going on inside of him as well as he could detail the plight of his fellow man." During the spring of 1992, Woody Guthrie's daughter Nora contacted Billy Bragg about writing music for a selection of completed Guthrie lyrics after Bragg played a Guthrie tribute concert in New York City's Central Park. Her father had left behind over a thousand sets of complete lyrics written between 1939 and 1967; none of these lyrics had any music other than a vague stylistic notation. Nora Guthrie's liner notes in Mermaid Avenue indicate that it was her intention that the songs be given to a new generation of musicians who would be able to make the songs relevant to a younger generation. Nora Guthrie contacted Bragg, who in turn approached Wilco and asked them to participate in the project as well. Wilco agreed, and in addition to recording with Bragg in Ireland, they were given their own share of songs to finish. Rather than recreating tunes .... + Informações
