audra mae - annie get your gun

Annie you got that shine
That money could never buy
Do you see everybody all around you noticing?

They're comin' from miles around
Layin' them greenbacks down
Just to catch a glimpse of what may be a legend

And lookin' back on who you were
I bet you'd say to her
These things happen for a reason
And you've got the world in your hands
Don't cry just realize you burn bright when you aim for the sun
Annie get your gun

Bubbles were made to burst
Fires were meant to burn
And when the flame dies down the coals will leave you warmer

And if it decides to rain
Annie on your parade
Remember summer's always comin' around the corner

And lookin' back on who you were
I bet you'd say to her
These things happen for a reason
And you've got the world in your hands
Don't cry just realize you burn bright when you aim for the sun
Annie get your gun
Annie get your gun

Annie grab your holster
Wear it tight
Raise your arm set your sight
Take a breath and just stay true
It's all on you
Annie get your gun
Annie get your gun

These things happen for a reason
And you've got the world in your hands
Don't cry just realize
You burn bright when you aim for the sun
Annie get your gun
Annie get your gun
Annie get your gun

audra mae - bandida

For certain you go onwards
For certain you will fight
For certain you will meet your death
and meet the stars this night
Take your blade and armor
I'll cloak my face and hide
You'll fight your nation's battle
And I'll battle at your side

(Ahh, Ahh)

What nation meets (needs) no army
What army meets no foe'
What soldier travels far and wide
While wives are free to go'
What would I do to keep you'
I'll cloak my face and hide
I'll veil myself in black and steel
And battle at your side

(Ahh, Ahh)

No mercy have I for you
No God can save my soul
It's love and life I fight for
With blade and gun in tow

(Hey, ahh)

My darling, please forgive me
I'm feared in every town
I'm stopless now to save you
The bandida's comin' round
What would I do to find you'
I'll cloak my face and hide
I'll veil myself in black and steel
And battle at your side

audra mae - climb

Yeah, get in
Here we go
Listen to him sing revelations are comin'
Watch him bring 'till the end of days
But didn't we learn way back from the blue ox and the lumberjack
Together any weather we can brave

Now we gonna climb

That old man standin' there is naked
He shook my hand and he kissed my baby's nose
But anyone can see he's as crazy as can be
He lost his mind the day he found his clothes

Yeah cause we got time
So c'mon and climb
Hey!

What's blowing you away
It'll come your way again
Again again
So where does that lead you my friend

Wait, guide me up the mountain
C'mon love lead me on my way
And smite me down if I ever fail to be more kind than lovers
I don' stray the path I'm born to blame

Yeah cause we got time
So c'mon and climb

audra mae - eli the barrow boy

Eli, the Barrow Boy, from the old town
Sells coal and marigolds and he cries out all down the day
Below the Tamarac she is crying
Corn cobs and candle wax for the buying, all down the day

Would I could afford to buy my love a fine robe
Made of gold and silk Arabian thread
She is dead and gone and lying in a pine grove
And I must push my barrow all the day
And I must push my barrow all the day

Eli, the Barrow Boy, when they found him
Dressed all in corduroy, he had drowned in the river down the way
They laid his body down in a churchyard
But still when the moon is out, with his pushcart
He calls down the day

Would I could afford to buy my love a fine gown
Made of gold and silk Arabian thread
But I am dead and gone and lying in a church ground
But still I push my barrow all the day
So I push my barrow all the day

OOh

So I push my barrow all the day

audra mae - forever young

May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
And may you stay forever young
May you stay forever young

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
May you stay forever young

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
May you stay forever young

audra mae - i 039 m a diamond

I'm a diamond
A bright shiny diamond
And I've come from so far away
10, 000 miles

To be cut, set and sold to anyone who'd pay
Here I am on your hand
See how bright I shine
Beauty fades but I remain the picture of your life
The proof you did it right

I'm a diamond
What good is a diamond
In a world brought to its knees

And flooded with hatred
Is nothing sacred
But a stone, sharp, and cold
And still you cut me

Here I am on your hand
See how bright I shine
Beauty fades but I remain the picture of your life
The proof you did it right

Bought and sold all for a piece of cold
Bought and sold all for a piece of cold
All for a piece of cold

Here I am on your hand
See how bright I shine
Beauty fades but I remain the picture of your life
Here I am on your hand
See how bright I shine
Beauty fades but I remain the picture of your life
The picture of your life
The proof you did it right

audra mae - jebidiah moonshine 039 s friday night

All right, there's a little old house
At the top of the hill
At the end of the road
There's a little old man with a demon to kill

Well he's hiding with her
Yeah he's over the blues
And he woke up this morning
Determined to put on his dancin' shoes

Now he's callin' the world
To the top of the hill
And he's put out the word to the boys and the girls
He's been meaning to kill

Did they stomp on your heart?
Does your job make you ill?
But you can make a new start if you follow up to the top of the hill

Jebidiah Moonshine's Friday night shack party
Shake your thing and swing what you're bringin to the party
Non-stoppin keep on boppin 'till we droppin everybody
Jebidiah Moonshine's Friday night shack party

Well I came to get lost
And it's going real well
Now I can't find my mind or my keys can I sit on your lap first

When I come back again
And you know that I will
I'll be bringin' my friends for the time of their lives
At the top of the hill

Jebidiah Moonshine's Friday night shack party
Shake your thing and swing what you're bringin to the party
Non-stoppin keep on boppin 'till we droppin everybody
Jebidiah Moonshine's Friday night shack party

Down get down get down down get down
Attention all party scouts
Raise two fingers in the air
And repeat after me
We're going on a party hunt
We're gonna get a big one
We're not scared
And that's right we ain't scared of nothin'
So remember when we find the party we can't go under it
We can't go over it
We can't go around it
We gotta go through it

Jebidiah Moonshine's Friday night shack party
Shake your thing and swing what you're bringin to the party
Non-stoppin keep on boppin 'till we droppin everybody

audra mae - little red wagon

You only love me for my thick sunglasses
And my Tony Lomas and my Dodge Dart classic
You said "I'll be Johnny and you'd be June
And I'll ride with you to the moon"
But guess what'!
You can't ride in my little red wagon
The front seat's broken and the axle's draggin
You can't step to this backyard swagga
You know it aint my fault when I'm walkin jaws drop
They're like oo ahh oo ahh
Kick it!

Ba ba ba bad ba dup dup dup da da da
Oh heaven help me I've been sewin wildflower seeds
And chasin tumble weeds but that's just who I be
And you're just trying to slow this rolling stone
But I'm on to ya baby

So guess what

OO you only love me for my big sunglasses
And my Tony Lomas cause I'm from Oklahoma
And I got long red hair
And I play guitar
And I go on the road
And I do all the shit you want to do
And my dog does tricks
But I'm not about drama no
Cuz I love my apron
But I ain't your mama!

OO ahh oo ah!

audra mae - little sparrow

Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious fragile little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Fly so high and feel no pain

All ye maidens hede my warning
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend
They will vow to always love you
Swear no love but yours will do
Then they'll leave you for another
Break your little heart in two

Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious fragile little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Fly so high and feel no pain

If I was a little sparrow
O'er these mountains I would fly
I would find him, I would find him
Look into his lying eyes
I would flutter all around him
On my little sparrow wings
I would ask him, I would ask him
Why he let me love in vain

I am not a little sparrow
I am just the broken dream
Of a cold false-hearted lover
And his evil cunning scheme

Little sparrow... ahh... ohh

All ye maidens fair and tender
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend

Little sparrow, little sparrow
Oh the sorrow never end

audra mae - my lonely worry

When you're alone
Do you imagine you're
Dancin' with me
Whisperin' passionate notions
In my ear
Of love set to motion
Holdin' me near

When you're away
I sing the melodies
We used to play
And you come back to me
Heaven in your voice
I wasn't ready
You left me no choice

And my lonely worry
Is I'm too late
For love's impatient belief
Don't go findin' someone
To pass your time
And leave you blind to me

Oh, how I'm longing to be
Lyin' beside you
It's only in my mind
You disappear when I
Open my eyes

And my lonely worry
Is I'm too late
For love's impatient belief
Don't go fin in' someone
To pass your time
And leave you blind to me

And my lonely worry
Is I'm too late
For love's impatient believe
Don't go findin' someone
To pass your time
And leave you blind to me
Don't close your mind to me

audra mae - ne 039 er do wells

When I was 9 years old my daddy made me see
The story of the railroad and how it came to be
He said the men who laid it down had left their own home towns
And broke their backs to give us traction

Ne'er do wells and woe be gones
Show your face for we were wrong
Ne'er do wells and woe be gones
Feel no shame it won't be long
Yeah

Do you ever stop to think who built those walls around you
Do you ever wonder who those people were at all
Because the hands that give you shelter
Are the very ones that you refused
And the proof of what they're worth
Will long after you and I are gone

Ne'er do wells and woe be gones
Show your face for we were wrong
Ne'er do wells and woe be gones
Feel no shame it won't be long
Yeah

I beg you listen with an open heart
You so so cruelly judged
Forgive us our trespasses
Were taught to us because
We were raised by people
Just like you and so
When the world falls down around us
It'll be to you I go
It'll be to you we all come runnin'

Ne'er do wells and woe be gones
Show your face for we were wrong
Ne'er do wells and woe be gones
Feel no shame it won't be long

audra mae - smoke

Fire on the hill
Blood on the ground
Not what you see
On the good side of town
Not what you'd think
Gone in a blink of an eye
Did he know?

Silent and still
His broken prayer
Falls from his lips
Vanishing in thin air
Falls to his knees
Breathing his sweet lullaby
And he knows

But could he tell?
Stuck like a horse
On a carousel
All of the plans
That he made himself
May as well be smoke

What's left undone
Pours from his side
Soul fades away
As an ambulance cries
So close to home
There all alone in the dark
And he knows

Last night
Somebody's baby
Last night
Somebody's baby died

audra mae - snakebite

I heard about the venom
At a broke down five and dime
The rain cried down the windows
Just like those tears of mine
Just then a gray haired woman
Sat down right next to me
Cause she heard me cryin'
Looked in my eyes and said
"Baby I got what you need

You need the snake bite
You got to get that venom
In your veins and come alive
I know just what you go through
Every day; that pain inside
But I can make it right
With the snake bite

She handed me a map with streets
I said I'd never seen and she told me
"My friend, this town has secrets
Darker than you could ever dream. "
I went to some back alley
Behind a liquor store
If someone had told me
How tight it would hold me
I never would've opened the door

My mama told me, "Baby be wary of
Evil ones who want to ensnare
The heavy hearted into their webs
And feed upon their souls"
Oh, Mama, I hope you never know

It hasn't been a year, now
And all my hair is gray
You know, it's funny but
I don't remember my own name
I'd go and hurt that woman
Who put this pain in me
But my heart is weak
It wants that venom
She comes around cause she knows

Oh, I got the snake bite

audra mae - sullivan 039 s letter

Sullivan Ballou
July of 1861
Wrote to his wife
And seven odd days later
He lost his life
In the First Battle of Bull Run
And the letter read?

When the breeze
Brushes against your cheek
Heaven is sending you
My breath
Oh, my Sarah, dear
Do not mourn me dead
Think I am gone and wait for me
For we shall meet again

My love for you is deathless
Unlike the flesh of men
So if my love of country
Leaves me breathless
And I cannot write you, my love, again
Remember?

When the breeze
Brushes against your cheek
Heaven is sending you
My breath
Oh, my Sarah, dear
Do not mourn me dead
Think I am gone and wait for me
For we shall meet again

And our future lies
In ashes
And Sarah, you must rise
From ashes

When the breeze
Brushes against your cheek
Heaven is sending you
My breath

When the breeze
Brushes against your cheek
Heaven is sending you
My breath

Oh, my Sarah
Wait for me, for we shall meet again

Sullivan
