Walk Out in the Rain lyrics

by Bob Dylan and Helena Springs

Walk out if it doesn't feel right,
I can tell you're only lying.
If you've got something better tonight
Then don't mess up my mind with your crying.

Just walk out in the rain,
Walk out with your dreams,
Walk out of my life if you don't feel right.
And catch the next train;
Oh, darling, walk out in the rain.

I have come from so far away

Watch Out for Lucy lyrics

by Eric Clapton

Now my friend Bill was just a working lad
And he liked to have his fun.
He'd like to find a girl and get comfortable
When his working day was done.

He would spend all his money on a Friday night,
Wake up in the morning broke,
But he had a run in with little Lucy then;
Believe me that ain't no joke.

Watch out for Lucy,
Though she may look frail.
Say excuse me, Lucy,

I'll Make Love to You Anytime lyrics

by J. J. Cale

Well I can't read and I can't write
And I don't know my left from right.

I can't tell if the sun's gonna shine
And I don't know if you'll ever be mine,
But I'll make love to you any old time at all.

I can't swim and I can't fly,
I ain't no fish, ain't a bird in the sky.

Chorus

I can't count from one to ten,
And I don't know the shape I'm in.

Chorus

Roll It lyrics

by Marcy Levy and Eric Clapton

Roll it, rock it, roll it in the socket.
Roll, roll it, roll, roll it.
Feel it, can you feel it, all night, all right.
Oh burn it, rock it, moving in the socket.
Yeah yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.

Gonna getcha, gonna getcha, here it comes, don't try to run.
I must love you, gonna sock it, gonna roll it, gonna rock.
Roll, roll it, roll, roll it.

Tell Me That You Love Me lyrics

by Eric Clapton

Tell me that you love me as often as you can;
Let me know that I'm your one and only man.
Give me confirmation with every passing day.
A love as sweet as ours will never fade away.

Catch me when I'm falling, help me when I'm blue.
Don't you realize that I'd do the same for you?
Find me when I'm lonely, carry me back home.
Treat me gently and my heart will never roam.

If I Don't Be There by Morning lyrics

Blue sky upon the horizon,
Private eye is on my trail,
And if I don't be there by morning
You know that I must have spent the night in jail.

I've been running from Memphis to L. A.
Had an appointment set sometime for today,
And if I don't be there by morning
You know that I must have gone the other way.

Finding my way back to you girl,
Lonely and blue and mistreated too.

Early in the Morning lyrics

(traditional)

When a girl reach the age of 18
She begins to think she's grown,
And hat's the kind of little girl
You can never find at home.

Come and see me early in the morning,
Just about the break of day.
Want to see me hug my pillow
Where my baby used to lay?

One drink of wine,
Two drinks of gin.
Pretty young got me
In the shape I'm in.

Chorus

I pass by the juke joint,

Promises lyrics

by Richard Feldman and Roger Linn

I don't care if you never come home,
I don't mind if you just keep on
Rowing away on a distant sea,
'Cause I don't love you and you don't love me.

You cause a commotion when you come to town;
You give 'em a smile and they melt.
Having lovers and friends is all good and fine,
But I don't like yours and you don't like mine.

La la, la la la la la.

Golden Ring lyrics

by Eric Clapton

He gave to you a golden ring;
It made you happy, it made you sing.
And I played for you on my guitar;
It didn't last long, we didn't go far.

And though the times have changed,
We're rearranged.
Will the ties that bind remain the same?

You came around after a while;
Everyone said that I made you smile.
It all went well, and suddenly then

Tulsa Time lyrics

I know a cat named Way-Out Willie
Had a cool little chick named Rockin' Billie
Made a heart of stone Susie-Q, doin' that crazy hand jive too
Papa said You will ruin my house.
You and that hand jive have got to go
Willie said Papa, don't you put me down,
Been doin' that hand jive all over town.
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive, doin' that crazy hand jive

I don't want you to get on the floor

If I Don't Be There By Morning lyrics

[Chorus:]
Blue sky upon the horizon,
Private eye is on my trail,
And if I don't be there by morning
You know that I must have spent the night in jail.

I've been running from Memphis to L. A.
Had an appointment set sometime for today,
And if I don't be there by morning
You know that I must have gone the other way.

Finding my way back to you girl,
Lonely and blue and mistreated too.
