Comin', comin', comin' around, comin', around,
comin', around, in a circle
Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' around, in a circle,
Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' in a circle.

Trouble ahead, the lady in red
Take my advice you'd be better off dead
Switchman's sleeping, train Hundred and Two
Is on the wrong track and headed for you

Well she's coming down the stairs, combin' back her yellow hair
And I ain't goin be treated this-a-way
This-a-way
And I ain't gonna be treated this-a-way

That's the way it's been in town,
Ever since they tore the jukebox down.
Two bit piece don't buy no more,
Not so much as it done before.

Laid down last night, Lord, I could not take my rest;
Laid down last night, Lord, I could not take my rest;
My mind was wandering like the wild geese in the West.

Went to see the captain, strangest I could find
Laid my proposition down, laid it on the line
I won't slave for beggar's pay, likewise gold and jewels
But I would slave to learn the way to sink your ship of fools

It all rolls into one and nothing comes for free,
There's nothing you can hold, for very long.
And when you hear that song come crying like the wind,
It seems like all this life was just a dream.
Stella blue. Stella blue.

Help on the way, well, I know only this, I've got you today.
Don't fly away, cause I love what I love and I want it that way.
I will stay one more day, like I say, honey it's you.
Making it too, without love in the dream it'll never come true.

When you go down to Deep Elem put your money in your pants
Cause the women in Deep Elem they don't give a man a chance
Oh, sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues.

Your case against me is so very clearly stated
I plead no contest, I just turn and shrug
I've come to figure all importance overestimated
You must mean water when you beg for blood (note 1)

All that I am asking for is ten gold dollars
And I could pay you back with one good hand.
You can look around about the wide world over
And you'll never find another honest man.

Well they took me downtown all dressed in black
Put me on the train and sent me back
Sent me back to the Thomasville jail
I had nobody for to go my bail

Did you say your name was Ramblin Rose?
Ramble on baby, settle down easy

Come hear Uncle John's Band playing to the tide,
Come on along, or go alone, he's come to take his children home.
Wo, oh, what I want to know, how does the song go.

Boots were of leather, a breath of cologne
Her mirror was a window she sat quite alone
All around her the garden grew
Scarlet and purple and crimson and blue

Well I met her accidentally in St Paul, Minnesota
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl that southern drawl
Then I heard my dream went back downstream cavorting in Davenport
And I followed you big river when you called

Till we all fall down, it'll do you fine,
Don't think about what you left behind
The way you came or the way you go
Let your tracks be lost in the dark and snow

Some folks look for answers, others look for fights,
Some folks up in treetops just a-looking for their kites.
Whoa, I can tell your future: just look what's in your hand,
But I can't stop for nothing, I'm just playing in the band.
Playing, playing in the band. Daybreak, daybreak on the land.

Gone are the days when the ox fall down
Take up the yoke and plow the fields around
Gone are the days when the ladies said "please,
Gently Jack Jones won't you come to me"

Got to hear me now
A little bolt of inspiration
The way you strike me now
It's sparking my imagination

Look for a while at the China Cat sunflower,
Proud-walking jingle in the midnight sun.
Copper-dome bodhi drip a silver kimono,
Like a crazy-quilt star gown
Through a dream night wind.

Well shake it up now Sugaree, I'll meet you at the jubilee
And if that jubilee don't come, maybe I'll meet you on the run
Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me
Please forget you knew my name, my darling Sugaree

Roll you down the line boy, drop you for a loss,
Ride you out on a cold railroad and nail you to a cross.
