I Feel Like Billy the Kid
I feel like Billy the Kid,
I broke the law, but can't remember what I did,
So I'm hiding in a hole in the wall,
There's so many laws,
I can't remember them all.
And there's a lawman on my trail,
He's going to have to kill me,
Cos I ain't going to jail,
Tell my Mama, I won't be coming home,
When you lay low, you got to lay low alone.
And I feel like Billy the Kid,
I broke the law, but can't remember what I did.

I Remember
Writer Dolly Parton
Copyright 1973
I remember I remember I remember mama and daddy most of all
I remember meadows and fields of golden wheat
I remember songbirds and sugar cane so sweet
I remember lots of things that often I recall
But I remember mama and daddy most of all
I remember gingerbread my mama used to bake
And I remember home made toys that daddy used to make
Yes I remember many things that often I recall
But I remember mama and daddy most of all
I remember mama and daddy most of all
And our little country home they filled with love
I remember mama and daddy most of all
And all the things they did to make life happier for us
Yes I remember lots of things that often I recall
But I remember mama and daddy most of all
I remember candy that daddy used to bring I remember songs my mama used to sing
Oh I remember many things that often I recall
But I remember mama and daddy most of all
I remember mama and daddy most of all
And how they taught us children right from wrong
I remember mama and daddy most of all
How they used to hope and pray they'd live to see us grown
Oh I remember many things that often I recall
But I remember mama and daddy most of all
I remember I remember I remember mama and daddy most of all most of all

Billy 4
Theres guns across the river about to pound you
Theres a lawman on your trail like to surround you
Bounty hunters are dancing all around you
Billy, they dont like you to be so free.
Camping out all night on the veranda
Walking in the streets down by the hacienda
Up to boot hill the like to send you
Billy, dont you turn your back on me.
Theres mills inside the minds of crazy faces
Bullet holes and rifles in their cases
There is always one more notch in four more aces
Billy, and youre playing all alone.
Playing around with some sweet signorita
Into her dark chamber she will greet you
In the shadows of the maizes she will lead you
Billy, and youre going all alone.
They say that pat garretts got your number
So sleep with one eye open, when you wander
Every little sound just might be thunder
Thunder from the barrel of his gun.
Theres always another stranger sneaking glances
Some trigger-happy fool willing to take chances
Some old whore from san pedroll make advances
Advances on your spirit and your soul.
The businessmen from taos want you to go down
So theyve hired mister garrett, hell force you to slow down
Billy, dont let it make you feel so low down
To be hunted by the man who was your friend.
So hang on to your woman, if you got one
Remember in el paso once you shot one
Ill be in santa fe about one
Billy, youve been running for so long.
Gypsy queens will play your grand finale
Way down in some tularosa alley
Maybe in la rio pecas valley
Billy, youre so far away from home
Billy, youre so far away from home

Forever Loss
Where was I when the news broke?
I don’t remember, I don’t remember
The phone rang, a familiar voice
“Come home” they said “she’s gone”
How long did the journey take?
I don’t remember, I don’t remember
All family adorned in black
Strange this unfamiliar home
Did I speak a single word?
I don’t remember, I don’t remember
My mothers in the kitchen
Drunk, alone, weeping
Was it raining on the day?
I don’t remember, I don’t remember
They put her in the ground
She was gone forever
How did it all end?
I don’t remember, I don’t remember
The priest spoke in a sombre tone
“And she lives on in our loving memory”
I’ll never forget, I’ll never forget

Billy 1
Theres guns across the river aimin at ya
Lawman on your trail, hed like to catch ya
Bounty hunters, too, theyd like to get ya
Billy, they dont like you to be so free.
Campin out all night on the berenda
Dealin cards til dawn in the hacienda
Up to boot hill theyd like to send ya
Billy, dont you turn your back on me.
Playin around with some sweet senorita
Into her dark hallway she will lead ya
In some lonesome shadows she will greet ya
Billy, youre so far away from home.
Theres eyes behind the mirrors in empty places
Bullet holes and scars between the spaces
Theres always one more notch and ten more paces
Billy, and youre walkin all alone.
They say that pat garretts got your number
So sleep with one eye open when you slumber
Every little sound just might be thunder
Thunder from the barrel of his gun.
Guitars will play your grand finale
Down in some tularosa alley,
Maybe in the rio pecos valley
Billy, youre so far away from home.
Theres always some new stranger sneakin glances
Some trigger-happy fool willin to take chances
And some old whore from san pedro to make advances
Advances on your spirit and your soul.
The businessmen from taos want you to go down
Theyve hired pat garrett to force a showdown.
Billy, dont it make ya feel so low-down
To be shot down by the man who was your friend?
Hang on to your woman if you got one
Remember in el paso, once, you shot one.
She may have been a whore, but she was a hot one
Billy, you been runnin for so long.
Guitars will play your grand finale
Down in some tularosa alley
Maybe in the rio pecos valley
Billy, youre so far away from home.

Remember I Was Vapour
Theres nothing here but us
Theres nothing here but us
Remember, I was vapour
Remember, I was just like you
Remember, I was liquid
Remember, I was someone too
Remember, I need others
Remember, I need oxygen
Remember, I need lovers
Remember, I need to forget
Chorus
Remember, I am human
Remember, I feel just like you
Remember, I had reasons
Remember, I had friends like you
Remember, I grow tired
Remember, I could end all this
Remember, I have memories

A Dying Brain
Do you recall how I was once your fire –?
And we, a regal cloud of unity
Meandering through the closing blues of night,
Commanding stars to glitter;
Dawn to blush?
Your answer comes in ever-blanking stares:
A wall that blocks the know,
Damping down the glow that used to emanate
From clear and lucid eyes.
They've lost the will to recognise.
But hear! We are fifty years together –
And once we writhed in pleasure –
Drowning in emotion,
That which was our prime.
You don't recall.
You only lie as vegetation
Scattered on the ground:
A living mound of flesh,
Devoid of any neural mesh
To let you say 'I'm sound.'
Don't worry Dear,
For I'm aware with memory!
I'll tell you how we were.
We have our right of history!
If you could just concur.

I Wanna Go Home
Intro:
(heres a very good old good one, see if you remember this one, see if we do!)
(this is gonna be nice, this is gonna be very nice)
Sailed on the sloop john b
My granddaddy and me
round nassau town we did roam
Wed been drinkin all night
Well I got into a fight
Yeah and I feel so broke up
I wanna go home
Hoist up the john b sails
See how the mainsail sets
Send for the captain ashore
And let me go home
I wanna go home, I wanna go home, yeah
cause I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
Yes I do
(hes so broke up, lord, I wanna go home)
Well captains a wicked man
He gets drunk any time he can
And he dont give a damn for grandpappy
No, nor me
He kicks us around
And he knocks us about
Well I feel so broke up, i
I wanna go home
Well pull up the john bs sails
See how the mainsail sets
Send for the captain ashore
And let me go home
I wanna go home
Well, I wanna go home
cause I feel so broke up (hes so broke up)
I wanna go home
(yes I do)
I feel so broke up
(he so broke up)
Lord, that I wanna go home

IF I Ever Feel
If i ever refuse to shine,
Their pampering i remember and all gets fine
If i ever fall somewhere down the lane,
Their arms i remember and forget all pain
If i ever feel puzzled,
Their love i remember and come out unstruggled
If i ever feel low
Their strive i remember and gets a new glow
If i ever feel alone
Their support i remember and stand like a stone
If i ever feel of committing any crime
Their humbleness i remember and get pure like a holy divine
If i ever feel voted down
Their motivation i remember and come out like a warrior of town
If i ever feel get infatuated
Their cuddle i remember and scot free undefeated
If i ever feel like meeting a holy divine
Their faces i remember and glitter like a sunshine

Remember Me
Lately all you can feel is the rain fallin.
Maybe you feel this world is to blame, youve been cryin.
Only, only inside will you know, but still you wonder sometimes.
Where can, where can you go?
Remember me. oh. when you feel this way
And you need someone to lean on.
(as if youre ever) ever too far away,
(remember me) I am the one (remember me) I am the one
Remember me, I am the one who sees in your eyes.
Remember me, I am the one who sees in your eyes.
Remember me, I am your guardian angel
And Ill never let you fall.
And if youre ever, ever in fear or danger,
(remember me) I am the one (remember me) I am the one who will turn
Remember me, I am the one...
Turn all your darkness to light in the morning.
You learn when youre too hard on yourself, you can call me.
Remember me, oh, when you feel this way...
Remember me, I am the one...

Some Day I Won't Remember
Some Day I Won't Remember
How you smell or how you look
Some Day I Won't Remember
All the pieces of me you took
Some Day I Won't Remember
What it was like to kiss you in the rain
Some Day I Won't Remember
All the tears and all the pain
Some Day I Won't Remember
The feel of your skin
Some Day I Won't Remember
All our secrets and our sins
Some Day I Won't Remember
Staying up late at night to cry
Some Day I Won't Remember
That vivid blue-green color of your eyes
Some Day I Won't Remember
The passion that we used to share
Some Day I Won't Remember
What it felt like to have you there
Some Day I Won't Remember
The precious sound of your beating heart
And when that some day comes
I will entirely fall apart

“Remember”
Remember where you came from.
Remember where you have been.
Remember whom you have encountered.
Remember whom you have known,
Remember joyous moments.
Remember sorrow too.
Remember all the lessons.
Remember the lessons you forgot.
Remember your Father.
Remember your Mentor.
Remember Mother Earth.
Remember the universe.
Remember to remember.
Remember gratitude.
Remember to be humble.
Remember your heart.
Remember always to love.

When I remember her I feel alive
When I remember her I feel happy with my life
When I remeeber her I know how love would feel like
When I remember her I see the light in my mind
When I remember her I know the world's loveing life
When I remember her I see the sky filled with birds of love
When I remember her I know that I'm infront of her

Stagger Lee
The night was clear, and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumblin down. . .
I was standin on the corner
When I heard my bull dog bark.
He was barkin at the two men
Who were gamblin in the dark.
It was stagger lee and billy,
Two men who gambled late.
Stagger lee threw a seven,
Billy swore that he threw eight.
Stagger lee, said billy,
I cant let you go with that.
You have won all my money,
And my brand-new stetson hat.
Stagger lee went home
And he got his .44.
He said, Im goin to the ballroom
Just to pay that debt I owe.
(bridge)
Go, stagger lee
Stagger lee went to the ballroom
And he strolled across the ballroom floor.
He said you did me wrong, billy.
And he pulled his .44.
Stagger lee, said billy,
Oh, please dont take my life!
Ive got three hungry children,
And a very sickly wife.
Stagger lee shot billy
Oh, he shot that poor boy so hard
That a bullet went through billy
And broke the bartenders bar.
Go, stagger lee, go, stagger lee!
Go, stagger lee, go, stagger lee!

You Don't Remember
It was you, it was me,
And we would last forever.
Any fool could see, that we were
Meant to be
Without you, there is no meaning to
My life.
You're gone and it cuts me like
A knife.
How could you leave me?
You don't remember, I'll never forget
You just don't remember, I'll never forget.
Why did you turn away,
Let your love fade away and die.
You became so cold, you made me feel
So old.
When you left, you broke my heart
And just to see.
How many pieces there would be,
After you leave me.
You don't remember, I'll never forget
You just don't remember, I'll never forget

I can't remember
I can’t remember the day
I can’t remember the night
I just see in your eyes
I just remember the feeling
What you feel you can’t forget
I can’t remember the light
I can’t remember the dark
I can’t remember the heart
I just live the today
Because it can’t be erased
Don’t let me here alone
Help me to remember what I forgot
I’m waiting for someone
Because alone, I cannot
If the rain come here
Help me to remember the tears
If the sun doesn’t shine
Don’t help me to remember the fears
If in the night there are stars
Remember me about the hope
If the sunset would be long
Help me to my eyes I get close
Because I would remember our love.

A Walk Down My Memory Lane
Remember...
The day we wed.
Remember...
How we snuggled in bed.
Remember...
Walking in the oceans' sand,
Remember...
I'm in a hostile land.
Remember...
The ring, you're first surprise.
Remember...
My happy, green eyes.
Remember...
How I used to smile.
Remember...
Its been a long trial.
Remember...
My devotion.
Remember...
All my emotion.
Remember...
Christmas and Thanksgiving.
Remember...
To be open and giving.
Remember...
Our old birch tree.
Remember...
Remember me!
Remember...
The hot tub bath.
Remember...
Walking on the forest path..
Remember...
Your wedding gown.
Remember...
The love we found.
Remember...
When the war has passed.
Remember...
Our love will forever last.
