I Think I'll Just Stay Here And Drink - Merle Haggard

Could be holding you tonight Could quit doin' wrong, start doin' right You don't care about what I think I think I'll just stay here and drink. Hey, putting you down don't square no deal Least you'll know the way I feel Take all the money in the bank Think I'll just stay here and drink. Listen close and you can hear That loud jukebox playing in my ear Ain't no woman gonna change the way I think I think I'll just stay here and drink. Hurtin' me now don't mean a thing Since love ain't here I don't feel no pain My mind ain't nothing but a total blank I think I'll just stay here and drink...

I'll stay here lying on your bed, Even for the rest of my days. With its side empty spaced, Where you once used to stay. Have you ever noticed the glimpses upstairs? These rooms are all that matter. And on the walls there's pictures screaming And ask me what I've done to seem So amused by the way of having done nothing today. They all have their eyes covered up with paint. Their room is all that matters. I can walk up the walls, But can't make water out of wine. So I'm desperate for some cold rain To wash those hands of mine. I'll stay here listening to the crowds And hear the footsteps and the shouts. But it's all passing me by, Tangled up in my own lie. Have I missed the clue of your brave escape? For this is what - you said - matters. Some other town, Some other day, Some other clown, Coming up her way. Some other town, Some other day, Some other clown, Coming up her way. Some other town, Some other day, Some other clown, Coming up her way. Etc.

When LEONARD finally came to California He was twenty-one years old as I recall He loved to write a song and pick the guitar And he came to hang a Gold one on the wall. The town in which he lived is not important But you'll know which town I mean by the time I'm thru He soon became a famous entertainer But LEONARD was a name he never used He was on his way to having what he wanted Just about as close as one could be Hey! once he even followed Elvis Presley And he wrote a lot of country songs for me. But he laid it all aside to follow Jesus For years he chose to let his music go But preaching wasn't really meant for LEONARD But how in the hell was LEONARD s'posed to know. Well, life began to twist its way around him And I wondered how he carried such a load He came back again to try his luck in music And lost his wife and family on the road. SPOKEN: (After that he seemed to bog down even deeper And I saw what booze and pills could really do And I wondered if I'd ever see him sober But I forgot about a Friend that LEONARD knew.) Well, LEONARD gave me lots of inspiration He helped teach me how to write a country song And he even brought around a bag of groceries Hey! back before Muskogee came along. Really I'm not trying to hide his showname Or the town in which this episode began SPOKEN: (Somehow I had to write a song for old Tommy) If just to see the smilin' faces in the band. When LEONARD finally came to California He was twenty-one years old as I recall And he loved to write a song and pick the guitar And he came to hang a Gold one on the wall.

(James Pierpont) Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh. Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh. Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh O'er the fields we go laughing all the way Bells on bobtail ring making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight. Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh --- Instrumental --- Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh.

All'alba, prima che il sole sorgesse E gli uccelli cantassero la loro dolce canzone La donna del troll della montagna con lingua falsa Ed ingannevole propose al signore: Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare Per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti darò? Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no Farai così o no? Ti darò i dodici mulini Che stanno tra Tillo e Terno Le macine sono fatte del più rosso rame E le ruote sono cariche d'argento Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare Per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti darò? Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no Farai così o no? Se tu fossi una donna cristiana Riceverei volentieri regali così, Ma io so che sei il peggiore troll della montagna Figlio degli spiriti maligni e del demonio. Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare Per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti darà? Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no Farai così o no? Ti darò i dodici mulini Che stanno tra Tillo e Terno Le macine sono fatte del più rosso rame E le ruote sono cariche d'argento Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare Per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti darò? Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no Farai così o no?

Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare Per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti darò? Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no Farai così o no?
