"Positively 4th Street"

   
(Dylan)

You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning

You got a lotta nerve
To say you gota helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that's winning

You say I let you down
You know it's not like that
If you're so hurt
Why then don't you show it

You say you lost your faith
But that's not where it's at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it

I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You're in with

Do you take me for such a fool
To think I'd make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don't know to begin with

You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, "How are you?" "Good luck"
But you don't mean it

When you know as well as me
You'd rather see me paralyzed
Why don't you just come out once
And scream it

No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps I'd rob them

And now I know you're dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don't you understand
It's not my problem

I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is
To see you

"Mr. Spaceman"

   
(McGuinn)

Woke up this morning with light in my eyes
And then realized it was still dark outside
It was a light comin'down from the sky
I don't know who or why

Must be those strangers that come every night
Whose saucers shaped light put people up tight
Leave blue green footprints that glow in the dark
I hope they get home all right

Hey Mr.Spaceman, won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey Mr.Spaceman, won't you please take me along
For a ride

Woke up this mornin', I was feeling quite weird
Had flies in my beer, my tooth paste was smeared
I opened my window, they'd written my name
Said: "So long, we'll see you again".

Hey Mr.Spaceman, won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey Mr.Spaceman, won't you please take me along
For a ride

Hey Mr.Spaceman, won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey Mr.Spaceman, won't you please take me along
For a ride

"Chestnut Mare"

   
(McGuinn / Levy)

Always alone never with a herd
Prettiest mare I've ever seen
You'll have to take my word

I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can
And when I do I'll give her my brand

Well I was up on Stony Ridge after this chestnut mare
I'd been chasin' her for weeks now. Oh, I'd catch a little glimpse
Of her every once in a while; she'd be off takin' her meal, or bathin';
She was a real fine lady!

This one day I saw her standin' over there in a clearing,
So I snuck up to her nice and easy. I waited for the wind to blow
Just the right way, and I got my rope out and I flung it in the air!

I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can
And when I do I'll give her my brand
And we'll be friends for life
She'll be just like a wife
I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can

Well I got her, and I'm pullin' on her, she's pullin' back
Like a mule tryin' to climb up a ladder. I take this chance and
I jump up on her. Danged if I don't land right on top of her the
First time. Well she takes off, runnin' up on to that ridge, higher
Than I've ever been before. We're runnin' along just fine, and then
She sees a sidewinder, all coiled up ready to strike. Well that
Spooks her, and she jumps off the edge...me holdin' on!


Above the clouds higher than eagles were gliding
Suspended in the sky
Over the moon, straight for the sun we were riding
My eyes were filled with light
Behind us black walls, below us a bottomless canyon
Floating with no sound
Gulls far below, seemed to be suddenly rising
Exploding all around

I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can
And when I do I'll give her my brand
And we'll be friends for life
She'll be just like a wife
I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can

And we were falling down this crevice, about a mile down there
I'd say! I look down and I see this red thing below us. Turned
Out to be our reflection in a little pool of water, about six
Feet wide, and only one foot deep, and we're comin' down at it!
Finally we hit and we splashed that pool dry. Well that's when
I lost my hold and she got away. But I'm never gonna' give up,
I'm gonna' get her again some day!

I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can
And when I do I'll give her my brand
And we'll be friends for life
She'll be just like a wife
I'm gonna' catch that horse
I'm gonna' catch that horse
I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can
I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can

"Truck Stop Girl"

   
(George / Payne)

His tail lights flickering as he pulled up to the truck stop
The same old crowd was hanging out again tonight
He said fill up my tank while I go check my load
It feels like it's shifting all around

He was the kind of man, do all he could
Above all he had integrity
But he was so young and on a ten city run
In love with a truck stop girl

As he went inside he was memorily greeted
By the girl with whom he was in love
She held out a glass and said have another
This is the last time we can meet

With her hair piled up high and a look in her eye
That would turn any good man's blood to wine
All his eyes could see, all his eyes could see
Was the stares from all these around him

He ran out to the lot and climbed into his rig
And drove off without tightening down
It was a terrible thing to see what remained
Of the rig that poor Danny was in

He was young and on a ten city run
In love with a truck stop girl

"All The Things"

   
(McGuinn / Levy)

See the sun how bright it is, it never was before
See the sun it shines right through my door but noone's there
I see warm smiles I never gave reflection in the air
All the things I want today, all the things I wasted on the way

See the earth how sweet it smells, I dnot know how it feels
See the earth it sleeps beneath my heels as I pass through
I see tears that I never shed in every drop of dew
All the things I want today, all the things I wasted on the way

Hear the sky singing the songs that I could have played
Too busy talking to prove that I was not afraid
See this dried up broken straw turning into rock
See this dried up broken straw forgotten and left behind
And see deeds that I never done are flowing in the wine
All the things I want today, all the things I wasted
All the things I want today, all the things I wasted
All the things I want today, all the things I wasted on the way

"Yesterday's Train"

   
(Parsons / Battin)

When you meet someone that you don't know
But you know them just the same
You begin wondering if by chance it might be
An aquaintance from yesterday's train

Well there's something in her eyes that you've seen before
Maybe a memory or a mistress from another world
But you know the trees are green and the baby cries
From dust to dust, yet nothing dies

You'll never know where we are in this endless place
Or who we are in this endless space
But we know that the trees are green and the baby cries
From dust to dust, yet nothing dies
Yesterday's is rollin' , can you touch it through the mist
Did you meet someone on yesterday's train
Can you tell it with a kiss
Can you tell it with a kiss

"Hungry Planet"

   
(McGuinn / Battin / Fowley)

I'm a hungry planet, I had a youthful face
They were in hurry to go to outer space
They needed bombs and tungsten, ore and iron too
So they climbed and they dug and they blew divided me right in two

I'm a hungry planet orbiting in the sky
The things they did to hurt me pass on by and by
Now here I am all alone, they never ever learn
Well I had to shake and quake and make their houses burn

I'm a hungry planet, I had the blueest seas
All the people kept chopping down all my finest trees
Poisening my oxygen, diggin' in my skin
Takin' more out of my earth than they'll ever put back in
I'm a hungry planet

"Just A Season"

   
(McGuinn / Levy)

If all my days were hills to climb and circles without reason
If all I was was passing time my life was just a season

Tears and dreams and silly schemes and phillies running freely
I was young and no song was song that didn't sound appealing
I'd have my fun with a shy girl, then maybe hop a train
And I looked like I'd been standing in the rain

Dirty hands and root beer stands and money like a river
Making deals to see how it feels to get more than you're givin'
I'd have my fun with a gambling man and bluff him with my face
And it's drinks for everybody in the place

If all my days were hills to climb and circles without reason
If all I was was passing time my life was just a season

Shouting crowds and mummy shrouds and people goin' crazy
All we said was what was in their hands it surely was amazing
I had my fun in the bullring, I never got a scar
It really wasn't hard to be a star

If all my days were hills to climb and circles without reason
If all I was was passing time my life was just a season

"Take A Whiff On Me"

   
(Traditional)

Take awhiff, take a whiff, take a whiff on me
Oh birdie take a whiff on me
Hey baby take a whiff on me

Went down to the corner 4th street and Main
Trying to get some good cocaine
Oh baby take a whiff on me

Cocaine for horses and not for men
Doctors say it kills you but he don't know when
Hey baby take a whiff on me

"You All Look Alike"

   
(Battin / Fowley)

Starlight crossed my eyes, she took me by surprise
Said you'd come to town, last summer brought me down
I said I'd never seen the likes of you before
She pulled a gun and not in fun I'm dyin' on the floor

You all look alike, I'm sorry I don't know
You all look alike, we never met before
Now matter how I try to say I've never been down this way
Said I couldn't be fair cause you all look alike

Lyin' here and dyin' here I'm trying to get my strength
It's so hard to get on back when you're lyin' at full length
All the crowds and all the dogs from miles around just stare
They looked at me and shed a tear, I'm glad those people care

You all look alike, I'm sorry I don't know
You all look alike, we never met before
Now matter how I try to say I've never been down this way
Said I couldn't be fair cause you all look alike
