1.MAGGIE MAY
Written：Rod Stewart／Martin Quittenton
Wake up Maggie I think I got something to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused but I feel I'm being used
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that's what really hurt
The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age
But that don't worry me none in my eyes you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didn't need to coax
Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a lover and
mother what a lover, you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed
and in the morning kick me in the head
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore
You lured me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried
I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand
Oh Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face
You made a first-class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart but I love you anyway
Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home one of these days
2.Oh! No Not My Baby
Lyrics：Carole King
Music：Gerry Goffin
When my friends told me you had someone new,
I didn't believe a single word was true
I told them all I had faith in you.
I kept a-right on sayin'
Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
You're not like all those other girls
who play with the men's hearts like they were toys.
My mama told me, 'Son when rumors spread
that there is truth somewhere,
and you should use your head.'
But sure didn't listen to what she said,
don't you know I kept a-right on sayin'
Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
You're not like all those other girls
who lead you on and tell you lies
No, no, my baby
Tell me, baby
I don't believe what they say, no
Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
Not my baby, not my baby
Not my baby, not my baby
Not my baby, not my baby
Not my sweet sweet baby,
Not my baby, not my baby
Not my baby, not my baby
Not my baby, not my baby
No way, not my baby
Not my baby, not my baby
not my sweet sweet baby
Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
3.Twistin' The Night Away
Lyrics：Sam Cooke
Music：Sam Cooke
Let me tell you about a place, somewhere up in New York way
where the people are so gay, twistin' the night away
Here they have a lot of fun, puttin' trouble on the run
Oh man you'll find the old and young twistin' the night away
Here's a man in evening clothes, how he got here I don't know
but oh man, you ought to see him go, twistin' the night away
He's dancing with a chick in slacks, she's moving up and back
Oh man, there ain't nothing like twistin' the night away
Feel much better
Here's a fellow in blue jeans, who's dancing with an older queen
dolled up in her diamond rings, twistin' the night away
Man you ought to see her go, twistin' to the rock and roll
Here you'll find the young and the old twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin', everybody's doing great
They're twistin' man, twistin', they're twistin' the night away
Twistin', you know they're twistin', twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin', man twistin' the night away
Here they have a lot of fun, puttin' trouble on the run
Oh man you'll find young and the old twistin' the night away
Here's a man in evening clothes, how he got here I don't know
I don't know but man you ought to see him go
Twistin' the night away
4.Mandolin Wind
Lyrics：Rod Stewart
Music：Rod Stewart
When the rain came I thought you'd leave
'cause I knew how much you loved the sun
But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm
through the darkest nights I've ever known
If the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
then I know I love ya
Oh the snow fell without a break
Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know
Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years
I couldn't believe you kept a smile
Now I can rest assured knowing that we've seen the worst
And I know I love ya
Oh I never was good with romantic words
so the next few lines come really hard
Don't have much but what I've got is yours
except of course my steel guitar
Ha, 'cause I know you don't play
but I'll teach you one day
because I love ya
I recall the night we knelt and prayed
Noticing your face was thin and pale
I found it hard to hide my tears
I felt ashamed I felt I'd let you down
No mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
Couldn't change a thing no, no
The coldest winter in almost fourteen years
could never, never change your mind
And I love ya
Yes indeed and I love ya
And I love ya
Lordy I love ya
5.Jodie
Lyrics：Wood／Stewart／Mclagan
Music：Wood／Stewart／Mclagan
Ooh hoo
Just a telegram
When your plane touches down
Are you sure that I ain't talking to myself ？
And when the seatbelt sign goes on,
You know you're not alone
'Cause Jodie I still love ya'
All the while
And I wish ya' all the best
With your current success
Don't let the flash boys turn your head
And I don't mind you havin' friends
But your love is not to lend
'Cause Jodie I still love ya'
Always thinkin' of ya'
Jodie I still love ya'
All the while
And I'm gonna have to get by anyway, hmmm
And you know with the winter comin' on, it's gonna be so hard
And I really really really really don't miss ya' anyway, not
anyway
And you know how I lie
Hmm, oww
So I wish you all the best
With your current success
Don't let the flash boys turn your head
And I don't mind ya' havin' friends,
But your love is not to lend, remember
Jodie I still love ya'
I'm always thinkin' of ya'
Jodie I still love ya'
All the while
Jodie I still love ya'
I'm always thinkin' of ya'
Jodie I still love ya'
All the time
6.I'd Rather Go Blind
Lyrics：B.Foster／E.Jordon
Music：B.Foster／E.Jordon
Something told me it was over
when I saw you and him talking
Something deep down in my soul said 'Cry boy'
when I saw you and him out walking
I would rather, I would rather go blind girl
than to see you walk away from me child
So you see I love you so much
I don want to see you leave me baby
most of all I just don, I just don't want to be free
I was just, I was just sitting here thinking
of your kiss and your warm embrace child
When the reflection in the glass
that I been held to my lips now baby
revealed the tears I had on my face
I would rather, I would rather be blind child
than to see you walk away from me
Baby, baby, baby I would rather go blind
than to see you walk away from me
7.Cindy's Lament
Lyrics：Rod Stewart
Music：Rod Stewart
Listen here
You don't have to love me always Cindy
You don't need to see me every day of the week
You don't have to notice my brand new shoes
But please, please say hello some time
You know I've tried to impress you Cindy
I even lent ya my library book
I guess you forgot, good God you soon forgot it woman
I don't mind but please say hello some time
And your mother she can't stand my face
And your brother keeps me from your door
But I'll stay around yes I'll stay around honey
I'll even watch over your garden fence
I've watched your friends Cindy laugh in my face
But I won't apologize for the way that I am
If only they knew baby, yes if only they knew
that you've already spent one night with me honey
8.Seems Like A Long Time
Lyrics：T.Anderson
Music：T.Anderson
Nighttime is only the other side of daytime
but if you've ever waited for the sun
you know what it's like to wish daytime would come
And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
Hard times are only the other side of good times
but if you ever wished hard times were gone
you know what it's like to wish good times would come
And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
Help me, seems like a long time
seems like a long time, seems like a long, long time
And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
And don't it seems like a long time
seems like a long time, seems like a long, long time
You know it makes me sad
seems like a long time, seems like a long time
seems like a long, long time
War time is only the other side of peace time
but if you've ever seen how wars are won
you know what it's like to wish peace time would come
And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seems like a long, long time
9.Country Comfort
Lyrics：Bernie Taupin
Music：Elton John
Soon the pines will be falling everywhere
Village children fight each other for a share
And the 6：09 goes roaring past the creek
Deacon Lee prepares his sermon for next week
I saw grandma yesterday down at the store
Well she's really going fine for eighty four
Well she asked me if sometime I'd fix her barn
Poor old girl she needs a hand to run the farm
And it's good old country comfort in my bones
Just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known
Just an old-fashioned feeling fully-grown
Country comfort's in a truck that's going home
Down at the well they've got a new machine
The foreman says it cuts man-power by fifteen
Yeah but that ain't natural well so old Clay would say
You see he's a horse-drawn man until his dying day
Now the old fat goose is flying cross the sticks
The hedgehog's done in clay between the bricks
And the rocking chair's creaking on the porch
Across the valley moves the herdsman with his torch
10.I Know I'm Losing You
Written：N.Whitfield／E.Holland／C.Grant
Your love is fading I can feel your love fading
Woman it's fading away from me
'Cause your personal touch has grown cold
as if someone else controls your very soul
I fooled myself long as I can
I can feel the presence of another man
It's there when you speak my name
It's just not the same
Oh honey I'm losing you
I can feel it in the air, it's there everywhere
Oh I'm losing you
I can feel it in my bones
any day you'll be up and gone
Ooh I'm losing you
It's all over your face someone's takin' my place
Could it be that I'm losing you
When I look into your eyes a reflection of a face I see
Oh Lord I'm losing you
I'm hurt, downhearted and worried girl
'cause that face doesn't belong to me
Your love is fadin', I can feel it fadin'
Oh away from me
I can feel it in the air, it's there everywhere
ooh I'm losing you
I don't wanna lose you
but I know I'm gonna groove you
Oh Lord I'm losing you, and I'm a losin' you
Your love is fadin', I can feel it fadin'
Oh Lord I'm losing you
11.I Wouldn't Ever Change A Thing
Lyrics：Rod Stewart
Music：Rod Stewart
I wouldn't change a thing if I could live it all again
Ah listen
It's funny you know when you sit down
and think about what you had
About the friends you used to know
What happened, where did they all go
Can you remember happy hours
spent drinkin' and thinkin'
We thought we could change the world
And we never, never, never, never, never
never thought we could get much older then
We were the ones who loved to love the right to love
We'd bring it on home with the right song
played at the right time
What happened to the girl that you loved once and left
young man did you break her heart
Did she live, and did she marry,
did she ever think on your face again
Ah now hold on a minute
I wouldn't change a thing if I could live it all again
Ah yeah
I think what you say is all so right
but I find it hard to jog my memories
Don't worry Lou you may never get another chance yeah
Yes I think what you say is all so right
but I find it hard to move my memories
Say it again with a lot more feelin'
And I think what you say is all so right
but I find it hard to find my memories
Don't sing so serious you make me feel so sad
But if I was true to myself
I would probably find it was a tear in my eye
that stopped me from believing you
Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry don't worry
You know my tongue gets tired
when I think back on all of the things we do
But I wonder if I'll remember these few precious things
as years pass me by
Ah when young bodies that've grown older
and mind's become dimmer
I'll point the finger back in time
I said I wouldn't change a thing if I could
if I could, if I could live it all again, yeah
12.Blind Prayer
Lyrics：Rod Stewart
Music：Rod Stewart
I was born and raised the only son of a lawyer
till I was approximately the age of four or perhaps five
I lost both my mother and my father
Killed in a fire way up on the fourteenth floor
Struck down by the time I was ten by an illness
which robbed me of the sight of the morning sun
And that ain't all
A homeless child for the next five years
with my dog Clown by my side and my only friend
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I fought my way through school
Sound and touch the thing on which I could depend
And you know what the, the, the kids
down my street weren't too playful
And right then it seemed like the whole world picked on me
And ah yeah
I worked my fingers to the bone
Stretchin' hide for a boot man in Jersey Town
But then, but then I lost the last thing I had
When fate reared its ugly head and took my dog Clown
I wandered way up north found a girl that loved like a woman
Sixteen years old and felt like a woman
But, but, but, but, but what I'm trying to say is
God please don't take her away from me
I lost everything that I ever had
you kicked my name into the dirt
Tread my name into the dirt yeah
I lost everything that I ever had
you kicked my name into the dirt
What could I do
I never knew how much love could hurt me
But it never ever come my way before
No, no, no, no, no
I never knew how much love could hurt me
Good God it ain't never come my way before
Oh but, but you know what I'm trying to say
really what I'm trying to say is
God please don't take her away from me
Ah turn it down
I lost everything that I ever had
you kicked my name into the dirt
You got a lotta lotta lost everything
that I ever had ever had
13.Hard Road
Lyrics：G.Young
Music：H.Vanda
My mama 'n' papa told me son that you're just a fool
when I told 'em I was leaving home I was leaving school
So then in a couple of hours I found myself
heading down that southbound road
with everything I owned on my back
I carried such a heavy load
And it's a hard, hard road that I travel
It's a hard, hard road that I travel
It's a hard, hard road that I travel down the line
And it's a hard, hard road down the line
Well I wanna tell ya friends
that it's good to be a traveling man
'Cause I'm doing what I want to
Living just the best that I can
Nobody putting rings around my neck
To put me in a pigeon hole
I've got my dog and my radio
to listen to some rock 'n' roll
And it's a hard, hard road that I travel
It's a hard, hard road that I travel
It's a hard, hard road that I travel down the line
And it's a hard, hard road down the line
