The Water is Wide

The water is wide, I can't cross o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
Oh love is gentle and love is kind
The sweetest flower when first it's new
but love grows old and waxes cold and fades away
like morning dew
There is a ship and she sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I'm in
I know not how I sink or swim
The water is wide, I can't cross o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
And both shall row, my love and I

Grady
04:00

Grady walked the two miles into town most every day
With his funny jerky gait, it seemed he galloped all the way
With his baseball cap on backwards, he’d sail into the wind
He was always on the outside, we wouldn’t let him in
The boys down at the fillin’ station said that he was touched
He hid a grin behind his hand, he didn’t talk that much
Mama used to say “You kids, leave that poor man alone”
But we’d follow him and giggle, sayin’ “Grady, sing your song”
Chorus
Grady would dance for a penny
While he sang “Those Oklahoma Hills Where I Was Born”
I carry this picture of old Grady
Even thought it’s getting kind of worn
The edges are raged and torn
Grady roamed the alleys, it made some people mad
Was he peeking in their windows, seeing what they had
Lots of folk were sayin’ they should put that boy away
They thought he was liable to hurt someone someday
I remember the day it happened, I was comin’ home from school
The banker’s baby daughter had fallen in their pool
Grady saw it happen…he climbed the fence and he plunged right in
He saved her life but he gave his…he never learned to swim
Chorus
I wish you could have seen the funeral they had for old Grady
He even got his picture in the paper
My dad cut it out and gave it to me…said he was a hero
Chorus
The boys down at the fillin’ station said that he was touched
And he was, by God

Santa Ana Winds
02:54
|

Some people say there’s nothin’ to it
Just hot sandy air blowin’ in
There’s a California reason … the only change in season
Known as the Santa Ana Winds
Most people talk like it was evil
They don’t understand what it’s all about
Almost too afraid of what it’s blowin’ in
To be thankful for what it’s blowin’ out
(chorus)
Maybe it’s the spirits of the Conquistadores
Coming back from long long ago
Or the Conestoga sailors that foundered in Death Valley
Only Santa Ana knows
They’re the mystery of Southern California
To some they’re beginnings … to some the end
But to me, they’re as real as this old horse I’m riding
Known as the Santa Ana Winds
(chorus)
They never die, they’re in the San Jacinto Mountains
Waitin’ with an ever watchful eye
If you listen in the evening on the sand down by the ocean
You can hear their distant cry
(chorus)
Maybe it’s the spirits of the Conquistadores
Coming back from long, long ago
Or the Conestoga sailors that foundered in Death Valley
Only Santa Ana knows
Only Santa Ana knows
I said… only Santa Ana knows

Milkbone Underwear
03:33

When I walked in to work this morning, the boss was in my face
It ain’t my fault if Floyd screws up everything I delegate
If truth be known, he wants my job. He’s looking to move upstairs
Well, it’s a dog eat dog world out there
And it seems like I’m wearing Milkbone Underwear
I feel like a mailman sloshin’ through the rain
Instead of water pourin’ down, it’s rainin’ Gravy Train
I’m just a big ol’ friendly pup and there’s pit bulls everywhere
Well, it’s a dog eat dog world out there
And it seems like I’m wearin’ Milkbone Underwear
Linda Lu said she wanted me home by six.. the boss said overtime
I missed the fourth anniversary of our third date and when I rolled in at nine
Linda Lu had my steak in Fido’s dish… she was pointin’ at his pillow downstairs
Well, it’s a dog eat dog world out there
And it seems like I’m wearin’ Milkbone Underwear
Chorus
Tag… last two lines
