1.1 - Boll Weevil

Well the first time I saw Boll Weevil
He was a-sittin' on a square
Well the next time that I saw him
He had his whole family there
Just a lookin' for a home
Just a lookin' for a home

Well the farmer took the Boll Weevil
And pulled him on the red hot sand
Well the Weevil said: "It is mighty hot"
But I take it like a man
Just a lookin' for a home
Just a lookin' for a home

Well, the Weevil said to the farmer:
"Sell your old machine
When we fill your cup
You can buy gasoline"
Just a lookin' for a home
Just a lookin' for a home

Well if anybody should ask you
Who it was who sang this song
Say you get a beating from Oklahoma city
Whit her blue jean on
Just a lookin' for a home
Just a lookin' for a home

1.2 - I'll Write Your Name Through The Fire

I'll write your name through the fire
I'll write your name through the fire
I'll write your name to bring me home again
I'll write your name through the fire

And I'm standing there at edge of town
Gonna get cold when the sun goes down
Saddle my horse and I'm packin' my clothes
Where I'm goin' just the good Lord knows

I'll write your name through the fire
I'll write your name through the fire
I'll write your name to bring me home again
I'll write your name through the fire

When mornin' breaks yes I'll be gone
And where I go I don't know
Have a lonely mind and a lonely heart
Wounded by your love dart

I'll write your name through the fire
I'll write your name through the fire
I'll write your name to bring me home again
I'll write your name through the fire

I'll write your name through the fire
I'll write your name through the fire
I'll write your name to bring me home again
I'll write your name through the fire

The desert chirps under my feet
With dusty boots I ride in the heart
Pray to my Lord, while a wolf howls
Let me go back, back to my sweet

I'll write your name through the fire
I'll write your name through the fire
I'll write your name to bring me home again
I'll write your name through the fire

I'll write your name through the fire
I'll write your name through the fire
I'll write your name to bring me home again
I'll write your name through the fire

1.4 - Love Machine

Grandma told the doctor's son
Boy, without love you can't go on
It makes the whole world turn around
The love machine
The love machine makes a woman feel bound

Love started to weep and dream
Day overcame the first grief
And now just in time to learn
The love machine
The love machine makes the world turn around

Grandma told the doctor's son
Boy, without love you can't go on
It makes the whole world turn around
The love machine
The love machine makes a woman feel bound

Love started to weep and dream
Day overcame the first grief
And now just in time to learn
The love machine
The love machine makes the world turn around
Makes the world turn around
The love machine makes the world turn around
Makes the world turn around

1.5 - I'm A Woman

My day love mind is still the same
Look here you can't change me
Even if you want to
Darlin' I know just my way

I'm a woman, yes I am
Makes souls grow out
I'm a woman, yes I am
Makes souls grow out

Don't be afraid I'll show you how
To share me and my weakness
You please me very much dear if you say yes
Know how to love me just try to understand

I'm a woman, yes I am
Makes souls grow out

The only thing I care for
is followin' the line
Look here, you can't change me
The words yes is all mine

I'm a woman, yes I am
Makes souls grow out
I'm a woman, yes I am
Makes souls grow out
 

2.1 - California Here I Come

Got a long long way to go
Over hard dusty roads
Take my old brown suitcase
And leave at the break of down

I'm not afraid of the distance
Some time on my side
Hear me singing my song
California here I come

When the sun's going down
Silence is the only sound
Oh restless are the nights
When nobody's around

I'm not afraid of the distance
Some time on my side
Hear me singing my song
California here I come

Day after day I'm going
Over hard dusty roads
How long will this go on
Until I'm there where I belong

But now troubles are over
I wipe off the dust on my boots
Hear me singing my song
California now to come
Now to come

But now troubles are over
I wipe off the dust on my boots
Hear me singing my song
California now to come
Now to come

2.2 - Poor Boy

Poor boy, poor boy are you long way from home
Poor boy are you down and out and all alone
Poor boy, poor boy did you spend your very last dime
Poor boy what you gonna do you ain't got much time

Ain't nobody for better or worse
Can't find nobody who cares
Can't you find a handy noose
You're so lonely and blue

Poor boy, poor boy are you long way from home
Poor boy are you down and out and all alone
Poor boy, poor boy did you spend your very last dime
Poor boy what you gonna do you ain't got much time

Somebody there for better or worse
Somebody there who cares
You can find your heavy noose
And chateau for youµ

Somebody there for better or worse
Somebody there who cares

2.3 - Love Buzz

Would you believe me when I tell you
You are the king of my dreams.
Please don't deceive me when I hurt you.
It just ain't the way it seems.

Can't you hear my love buzz?
Can't you hear my love buzz?
Can't you hear my love buzz?

I need you like a desert needs rain.
I would rather like to die.
Darling I hurt when I do not see you,
So spread your wings and fly.

Can't you hear my love buzz?
Can't you hear my love buzz?
Can't you hear my love buzz?

Would you believe me when I tell you
You are the king of my dreams.
Please don't deceive me when I hurt you.
It just ain't the way it seems.

Can't you hear my love buzz?
Can't you hear my love buzz?
Can't you hear my love buzz?

I need you like a desert needs rain.
I would rather like to die.
Darling I hurt when I do not see you,
So spread your wings and fly.

Can't you hear my love buzz?
Can't you hear my love buzz?
Can't you hear my love buzz?

2.4 - The Butterfly And I

The butterfly and I have a message from the dark
The butterfly and I have a message from the dark
Love was burst through the air
Love was burst through the air
Just look around and help yourself
Now

The butterfly and I have heard a very strange sound
The butterfly and I have heard a very strange sound
Hey get up before it's too late
Think it out before it's too late
Have it now you're bound to look short
Don't wait
