GIRLS IN PARIS
(Lee Hazlewood)
« © '66 Granite Music, ASCAP »
The girls in Paris are special and unique
You see it in their eyes when they walk down the street
They sing a song my poor heart never can forget
This night I wish that I was still in Paris yet
Hear 'em singin'
(la la la la la la li la la la la li...)
The girls in Paris wear a sunshine on their face
They smile a Paris smile you'll find no other place
They sing a song...
The girls in Paris fall in love just once a week
And love is all they know and love is all they speak
They sing a song...
They keep singin' (la la la la la la li la la la la li...)

JOSE
(Lee Hazlewood)
« © '66 Criterion Music, ASCAP »
In a small village near La Plaza Mexico lived a boy not so many years ago
And hunger was his enemy every day but he never begged the boy called Jose
And every day he worked in the fields he worked well
And when the night came this boy slept where he fell
And the earth was the only mother he ever knew some people say
And she gave him strenght and he grew to be a man called Jose (Jose Jose)
One Sunday afternnon this young man saw his first bullfight
And his blood ran hot and he couldn't sleep that night
And as the morning came he thought he heard his mother say
Now you know why you were born Jose
And he lived for one thing and nothing more he had to be the very best matador
And when he killed his first bull one bright Sunday
You could hear a lace a hundred miles for Jose (Jose Jose)
And as his fame grew his fortune grew too but he gave much of this fortune away
Because he knew that other's fight is old enemy hunger every day
And so many times he heard God bless you Jose
And the years passed and Jose said I'll fight great bulls no more
The younger men they better sooth it for
The Sunday game with its blood and its death to pay
You'll soon forget the matador Jose (Jose Jose)
And the next morning we found him lying on the ground
He didn't move he didn't make a sound
And yet we heard from somewhere someone say
Welcome home my little boy Jose (Jose Jose Jose Jose)

OLD MAN AND HIS GUITAR
(Lee Hazlewood)
« © '66 Criterion Music, ASCAP »
See the candle lights burn in a cabin not so far
From a river wild that's friendly as a child to an old man and his guitar
Spends each lonely night just wishing on some long forgotten star
Dreaming dreams until only dreams seem real to an old man and his guitar
Remembering loves remembring springs so many loves so many springs
But there was one he loved the best she made him soon forget the rest
His hands that once played only magic now were the steam of time's cruel scars
But all his songs aren't sung the best is yet to come for an old man and his guitar

I AM A PART
(Lee Hazlewood)
« © '66 Criterion Music, ASCAP »
I am a part of every road you walked down
And I am a part of every dream that you found
And when you cry I cry along with you
And should you die I know that I'll die too
I am that part of everything that you do
Since I became a part of you
Since I became a part of you
I am a part of every hurt and every lie
And I am a part of every tear that you cried
And when you're sad you know that I'm sad too
And if you're bad then I'll be bad with you
I am that part of everything that you do...

HOME (I'M HOME)
(Lee Hazlewood)

(La la la la la La la la la la...)
He don't have to work at his job no more
He don't have to be like he was before
Got no money that he can spend somebody took good care of him
And he's home ah that boy's home
She don't have to worry bout the size or her weight
She don't have to worry bout the wrinkles on her face
Got her a man life is sweet there's prettier girls still walkin' the streets
But she's home ah that girl's home
(La la la la la La la la la la...)
I don't have to run if I wanna stay
And I don't have to do what people say
Found my place in the sun I do what I like and I like what I've done
And I'm home ah this boy's home

AFTER SIX
(Lee Hazlewood)

Hey there Mr Bartender now have a little pitty on me
Time is rough and a fuss is tough and I'm where I'm not supposed to be
I'll give you my watch for a fifth of Scotch
If you don't make fun cause it don't run no better than I do after six
Hey there Mr Bartender lots of things are botherin' me
There's the hydrogen bomb in VietNam and I'm out of sigarettes since three
I'll give you my stickpen for a pint of gin
If you don't joke cause the diamond's broke
And it don't shine no better than I do after six
[ ac.guitar ]
Hey there Mr Bartender you better get a drip on me
My pulse is slow when I'm about to go I need a little charity
I'll give you my shoes for a glass of booze
If you won't tell they don't smell no better than I do after six
(Oh bartender I'll do anything for you I'll pick my guitar
Bartender you listen to me bartender)

DARK IN MY HEART
(Lee Hazlewood)
« © '66 Criterion Music, ASCAP »
Woke up Sunday morning and I thought that I could sing
But I can't no I can't
Woke up Sunday morning and I thought I heard bells ring
But they don't no they won't
Oh it's dark it's dark in my heart
Got a letter from my mama but she didn't send no cash
Send no cash not a dime
Got a letter from my sister and she's still writin' trash
Writin' trash talked for the trash
Oh it's dark it's dark in my heart
I asked a man some questions and he told me just the truth
Just the truth and I didn't believe him
I asked a girl for lovin' and she walked in the phonebooth
That ain't cool in the phonebooth
Oh it's dark it's dark in my heart
Met a girl in New York and she had a lotta class
Lotta class tourist class
Took the girl to LA but she said it wouldn't last
Wouldn't last and it didn't
Oh it's dark it's dark in my heart
Oh it's dark it's dark in my heart
