HAZLEWOOD, Lee

My Autumn's Done Come

Kiss all the pretty ones goodbye

Give everyone a penny that cry

You can throw all my Tranquil pills away

Let my blood pressure go on its way

'Cause my autumn's done come

My autumn's done come

Done come

Let those I don't care days begin

I'm tired of holdin' my stomach in

No more slinky Vogue dolls for me

I'll take Sears and Roebuck dolls gladly

'Cause my autumn's done come

My autumn's done come

Done come

Bring me water short and scotch tall

A big long black cigar that ain't all

Hang me a hammock between two big trees

Leave me alone, damn it, let me do as I please

'Cause my autumn's done come

My autumn's done come

Yeah, done come


Lady Bird

I've been where the eagles flies

Rode his wings across autumn skies

Kissed the sun touched the moon

But he left me much too soon

His ladybird

He left his ladybird

Ladybird come on down

I'm here waitin' on the ground

Ladybird I'll treat you good

Ladybird I wish you would

You ladybird

Pretty ladybird

Lightning flashed across the sky

The night he taught me how to fly

The sun came up and down I found

Too soon he left his lady down

His ladybird

I'm his ladybird

Ladybird come on down

I'm here waitin' on the ground

Ladybird I'll treat you good

Ladybird I wish you would

You ladybird

Pretty ladybird

Winter lives in my heart

In the times we're apart

Summer sings a song or two

When he says: "I love you true"

My ladybird yeah

I'm his ladybird

Ladybird come on down

I'm here waitin' on the ground

Ladybird I'll treat you good

Ladybird I wish you would

You ladybird

Pretty ladybird

You're too much

You little bird.


Summer Wine

Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring

My summer wine is really made from all these things...

I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to

A song that I had only sang to just a few

She saw my silver spurs and said let's pass some time

And I will give to you...summer wine

Oh ... summer wine.

Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring

My summer wine is really made from all these things

Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time

And I will give to you ... summer wine

Oh ... summer wine.

My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak

I tried to get up but I couldn't find my feet

She reassured me with the unfamiliar line

And then she gave to me ... more summer wine

Oh ... summer wine.

Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring

…..
When I woke up, the sun was shining in my eyes

My silver spurs were gone, my head felt twice its size

She took my silver spurs, a dollar and a dime

And left me craving for ... more summer wine

Oh ... summer wine.

Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring

.....


Sand

Young woman share your fire with me

My heart is cold, my soul is free

I am a stranger in your land

A wandering man, call me Sand

Oh, sir, my fire is very small

It will not warm thy heart at all

But thee may take me by the hand

Hold me and I'll call thee Sand

Young woman share your fire with me

My heart is cold, my soul is free

I am a stranger in your land

A wandering man, call me Sand

At night when stars light up the sky

Oh sir I dream my fire is high

Oh taste these lips sir if you can

Wandering man, I call thee Sand

Oh sir my fire is burning high

If it should stop, sir, I would die

A shooting star has crossed my land

Wandering man she whispered Sand

Young woman shared her fire with me

Now warms herself with memory

I was a stranger in her land

A wandering man, she called me Sand

He was a stranger in my land

A wandering man

She called me Sand

The Night before

I wake up Sunday morning

With my mind all in a haze

Tear stains on my pillow

And make-up on my face

I see those empty whiskey bottles

And records scattered on the floor

And from the next room, I hear crying

Then I remember the night before

I saw her dancing at the party

So young with laughter in her face

And when the others had departed

Convincing words and she stayed late

And now those empty whiskey bottles

They stand accusing from the floor

That I hear footsteps as she's leaving

Yes, she remembers the night before

If I could turn back the clock

Turn it back to yesterday

There are things I wouldn't do

And things I wouldn't say

But now those empty whiskey bottles

Within my mind forevermore

And in the silence, I hear crying

Yes, I remember the night before

These boots are made for walkin’

You keep sayin' you've got somethin' for me

Somethin' you call love but confess

You've been a'messin' where you shouldn't 've been a'messin'

And now someone else is getting all your best

These boots are made for walkin'

And that's just what they'll do

One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you

You keep lyin' when you oughta be truthin'

And you keep losing when you oughta not bet

You keep samin' when you oughta be a'changin'

Now what's right is right but you ain't been right yet

These boots are made for walkin'

…..

You keep playin' where you shouldn't be playin'

And you keep thinkin' that you'll never get burnt (ha)

I just found me a brand new box of matches, yeah

And what he knows you ain't had time to learn

These boots are made for walkin'

…..
