The House On The Hill *YouTube
Jackdaw… keep away from my back door
Jackdaw, don't build your nest round here no more
I think it's time that you flew
Nothin' left for you
Stole my money
Every cent
Seems that I've got to
Rent a tent
You've stolen half my life
Even stolen my wife
Jackdaw… keep away from my back door
Jackdaw, don't build your nest round here no more
I think it's time that you flew
Nothin' left for you
Jackdaw… keep away from my back door
Jackdaw, don't build your nest round here no more
I think it's time that you flew
Nothin' left for you
You're Not Smiling
Werth/Gemmell
You're not smiling
I've come a long way just to see you smiling
You're not laughin'
I've come a long long way just to see you laughing
I guess that things have changed since I've been gone
Because something, somehow, somewhere, has gone wrong
You're not lovin'
I've come a long way just to feel your loving
You're not near me
I've come a long long way just to feel you near me
I guess that things have changed since I've been gone
Because something, somehow, somewhere, has gone wrong
I cannot really claim to understand
'cos maybe there is something that I lack
Or maybe there's been somethin' underhand
Goin' on behind my back
You really make me feel so insecure
I fel like packin' up and goin' back
Or maybe we should try a natural cure
Come on babe let's hit the sack
Now you're lyin'
I've not come all this way to hear you lyin'
Now you're cryin'
I've not come all this way to see you cryin'
I guess that things have changed since I've been gone
Because something, somehow, somewhere, has gone wrong
Bright the light through my window pane
Shield my eyes from the beam
Keep the day from my aching brain
I had a Dream
Walked me down to the town last night
Sat me down by the stream
As I dozed in the fading light
I had a Dream
I had a dream
I had a dream
Saw a man and I saw you there
Swear you looked like a Queen
In your eyes as he touched your hair
You had a Dream
And I had a Dream
I had a Dream
Who could care, who would sympathise
Should someone come in between
It could be that I'll realise
I had a Dream
Would I dare ask the truth of you
If t'were real what I've seen
Were you there? If I only knew
That I had a Dream
I had a Dream
I had a Dream

Nancy was a farmer's daughter everything her Daddy taught her honestly,
honestly
And even though her Pa was poor he always kept within the law and so did she,
so did she
Because there's no shame in workin' in the rain
He's using every day to shape his daughter's character
For someone's son to marry her
On the day her Momma died he promised to protect the pride of family,
family
And as he left the hospital he vowed if it was possible they'd both be free,
both be free
Because there's no shame in workin' in the rain
He's using every day to shape his daughter's character
For someone's son to marry her
Then came to court her, Clancy Clearwater
Rich gifts he bought her from them big stores
And her old man fancied that she'd wed Clancy
A dude ranch owner from Arizona
A real fine dancer, slicked up romancer
He got this answer from his fair Nancy
No no no, I won't go, No no no, I won't go
No no no, I won't go, No no no, I won't go
Clancy came complaingin to the farmer did his brain in, couldn't understand,
understand
Rich and pretty looking she'd not even do the cooking if she gave her hand,
gave her hand
Because there's no shame in workin' in the rain
He's using every day to shape his daughter's character
For someone's son to marry her
She'd be wearing Satin, reading literature in Latin, life'd not be hard,
not be hard
Seems that were the trouble she preferred to tend the stubble in her own backyard,
own backyard
Because there's no shame in workin' in the rain
He's using every day to shape his daughter's character
For someone's son to marry her
When the old man
Was talking to the young man
You know the young man
He didn't give a damn
And when the young man
Was talking to the old man
You know the old man
He wouldn't understand
So each appeared to be sure he was right
The seeds of doubt had been planted inside
So they argued on into the night
I Put A Spell On You
J.Hawkins
I put a spell on you
Yeah
Because You're mine
I can't stand the things you do
You know better mama
Yeah
I ain't lyin'
No I aint lyin'
You know I can't stand it babe
Stand it, no
The way you run around, right
I can't stand the things you do
You know better mama
(I haven't finished this yet)
The House On The Hill
Werth/Williams
I've been told about the house on the hill
So big and old, is the house on the hill
They say that there's a King Rat, that wears a judge's black cap
And I wouldn't go near that house on the hill
The story goes 'bout the house on the hill
That when it snows 'round the house on the hill
The rat becomes a maiden, her soul endowed by Satan
And I wouldn't go near that house on the hill
As is her sin, yeah, in the house on the hill
She lures travellers into, the house on the hill
Enchants them with her charms then
She falls on and devours them
And I wouldn't go near that house on the hill
The story goes 'bout the house on the hill
That when it snows 'round the house on the hill
The rat becomes a maiden, her soul endowed by Satan
And I wouldn't go near that house on the hill
As is her sin yeah, in the house on the hill
She lures travellers into, the house on the hill
Enchants them with her charms then
She falls on and devours them
And I wouldn't go near that house on the hill
