Go son, go down to the water And see the women weeping there Then go up into the mountains The men, they are weeping too Father, why are all the women weeping? They are weeping for their men Then why are all the men there weeping? They are weeping back at them This is a weeping song A song in which to weep While all the men and women sleep This is a weeping song But I won't be weeping long Father, why are all the children weeping? They are merely crying son Oh, are they merely crying, father? Yes, true weeping is yet... to come This is a weeping song A song in which to weep While all the men and women sleep This is a weeping song But I won't be weeping long Oh father, tell me are you weeping? Your face seems wet to touch Oh, then I'm so sorry, father I never thought I hurt you so much This is a weeping song A song in which to weep While we rock ourselves to sleep This is a weeping song But I won't be weeping long But I won't be weeping long But I won't be weeping long But I won't be weeping long

(I had a dream) I had a dream (I had a dream) I had a dream (I had a dream) I had a dream, Joe I had a dream, Joe You were standing in the middle of an open road I had a dream, Joe Your hands were raised up to the sky And your mouth was covered in foam I had a dream, Joe A shadowy Jesus, He flitted from tree to tree I had a dream, Joe The society of whores stuck needles in an image of me I had a dream, Joe It was Autumn time and thickly fell the leaves And in that dream, Joe A pimp in a seersucker suit sucked a toothpick And pointed his finger at me (I had a dream) I had a dream (I had a dream) I had a dream (I had a dream) I had a dream, Joe I opened my eyes, Joe The night had been a giant, dribbling and pacing the boards I opened my eyes, Joe All your letters and cards all stacked up against the door I opened my eyes, Joe And the morning light came slowly tumbling through the crack In the window, Joe And I thought of you and I felt like I was lugging A body on my back (I had a dream) I had a dream (I had a dream) I had a dream (I had a dream) I had a dream, Joe (Where did you go, Joe?) On that endless, on that senseless, on that demented drift (Where did you go, Joe?) Was it into the woods, was it into the trees, where you move and shift (Where did you go, Joe?) All dressed up in your ridiculous seersucker suit (Where did you go, Joe?) With that strew of wreckage Forever at the heel of your boot (I had a dream) I had a dream (I had a dream) I had a dream (I had a dream) I had a dream, Joe (I had a dream) I had a dream (I had a dream) I had a dream (I had a dream) I had a dream, Joe (I had a dream) (I had a dream) (I had a dream, Joe)

Down in the willow garden, me and my love did meet And as we sat a-courting, my love fell off to sleep I had a bottle of burgundy wine; my love, she did not know And so I poisoned that dear little girl along the banks below Along the banks below I drew my saber through her; it was a bloody night I threw her in the river, which was a dreadful sight My father often told me that money would set me free And so I murdered that dear little girl whose name was Rose Connelly Whose name was Rose Connelly My father sits at his cabin door wiping his tear-dimmed eyes His only son soon should walk to yonder scaffold high My race is run beneath the sun; the scaffold now waits for me For I did murder that dear little girl whose name was Rose Connelly Whose name was Rose Connelly Whose name was Rose Connelly

I was riding, I was riding home The sun, the sun, the sun was rising from the field I got a feeling I just can't shake I got a feeling that just won't go away You've got to just keep on pushing Keep on pushing it Push the sky away And if your friends think that you should do it different And if they think that you should do it the same You've got to just keep on pushing Keep on pushing Push the sky away And if you feel you got everything you came for If you got everything and you don't want no more You've got to just keep on pushing Keep on pushing Push the sky away Some people say it's just rock and roll Oh but it gets you right down to your soul You've got to just keep on pushing Keep on pushing Push the sky away You've got to just keep on pushing Keep on pushing Push the sky away
