Five Years

=================================================
Pushing through the market square
So many mothers sighing
The news had just come over;
We had five years left to cry in
News guy wept as he told us
Earth was really dying
He cried so much his face was wet
Then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I saw boys, toys, electric irons & T.V.'s
My brain hurt like a warehouse
It had no room to spare;
I had to cram so many things to store
Everything in there
And all the fat/skinny people . . .
And all the tall/short people . . .
And all the nobody people . . .
And all the somebody people . . .
I never thought I would need so many people . . .
A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
And If the black hadn't a-pulled her off
Well, I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm;
His fixed stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt & kissed the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlor
Drinking milk shakes cold & long
Smiling & waving & looking so fine
I don't think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold
And it rained
So I felt like an actor
And I thought of ma
And I wanted to get back there . . .
Your face,
Your race
The way that you talk;
I kiss you,
You're beautiful
I want you to walk . . .
We've got five years--
Stuck on my eyes
Five years--
What a surprise!
We've got five years--
My brain hurts a lot
Five years--
That's all we've got . . .

You told me once
That you were mine
Alone forever;
And I was yours
'Til the end of eternity
But all those vows
Are broken now
And I will never
Be the same
Except in memory . . .
Remember me
When the candle lights are gleamin'
Remember me
At the close of a long, hard day
And it would be so sweet,
When, all alone, I'm dreramin'
Just to know
That you still remember me
A brighter face
May take my place
When we're apart, dear;
Another love
With a heart more bold & free
But in the end,
Fairweather friends
May break your heart, dear;
And when they do, sweetheart,
Remember me . . .
Remember me
When the candle lights are gleamin'
Remember me
At the close of a long, hard day
And it would be so sweet,
When, all alone, I'm dreramin'
Just to know
That you still remember me . . .
Just to know
That you still remember me

Oh, my darling . . .
Oh, my darling . . .
Oh, my darling, Clementine
You are lost & gone forever;
Dreadful sorry, Clementine . . .
In a cavern . . .
In a canyon . . .
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter, Clementine . . .
Light she was . . .
And like a fairy . . .
And her shoes were no. 9
Herring boxes without topses;
Sandals weren't for Clementine . . .
Oh, my darling . . .
Oh, my darling . . .
Oh, my darling, Clementine
You are lost & gone forever;
Dreadful sorry, Clementine . . .
Drove she ducklings . . .
To the water . . .
Every morning right at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter;
Fell into the foaming brine . . .
Ruby lips . . .
Above the water . . .
Blowing bubbles soft & fine
But alas, I was no swimmer;
So I lost my Clementine . . .
Oh, my darling . . .
Oh, my darling . . .
Oh, my darling, Clementine
You are lost & gone forever;
Dreadful sorry, Clementine . . .
How I missed her . . .
How I missed her . . .
How I missed my Clementine
'Til I kissed her little sister;
And for forgot that Clementine . . .
Oh, my darling . . .
Oh, my darling . . .
Oh, my darling, Clementine
You are lost & gone forever;
Dreadful sorry, Clementine . . .
Soon the miner . . .
Forty-niner . . .
Began to pique & pine
Thought he oughter join his daughter;
Now he's with his Clementine . . .

You better stop

Foolin' around
I ain't gonna take none of your
Puttin' me down
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine

Didn't ol' John cross the water,
Water on his knees?

On his knees?
Let us all bow down,
Good lord, and face,
Face the rising sun . . .
Didn't ol' John cross the water,
Water on his knees?

Out in the West Texas
Town of El Paso,
I fell in love
With a Mexican girl . . .
I met a Shaman
And ate some Peyote
Then I fell in love
With a Mexican squirrel . . .

Take me out to the ball game;
Take me out to the crowd
Buy me some peanuts & crackerjacks;
I don't care if I never get back
For it's root! root! root! for the home team;
If they don't win, it's a shame
'Cause it's one! two! three strikes, you're out!
At the ol' ball game

Old Abe Lincoln came out of the wilderness . . .

Many long years ago
Jefferson Davis tried to tear down the government . . .

But old Abe Lincoln came and built back a better one . . .

(And then look what happened . . .)

Early in the morning
I will sing you a love song
And tell you of my sorrow
For the years spent alone
But I must tell you quickly
For the memories are fading;
Just before the first time
That I call you my own
Brighter than the Sun
Lovely as the Moon;
It's wonderful to know
That I'll be with you soon . . .
'Cause later in the day
The chance may slip far behind us
The worries of a lifetime
Make love harder to see
And when the evening finds us
We may not be together;
In love with you
Is all I ever wanted to be
Brighter than the Sun
Lovely as the Moon;
It's wonderful to know
That I'll be with you soon . . .
Early in the morning
I will sing you a love song
And tell you of my sorrow
For the years spent alone
But I must tell you quickly
For the memories are fading;
Just before the first time
That I call you my . . .
