"Pretty Polly"

   
(McGuinn / Hillman)

There used to be a gambler who courted all around
There used to be a gambler who courted all around
He courted pretty Polly, such beauty never been found
"Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, come go along with me
Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, come go along with me
Before we get married, some pleasures to see"

She jumped up behind him and 'way they did go
She jumped up behind him and 'way they did go
Down into the valley that was far below
They went a little further and what did they spot
They went a little further and what did they spot
But a newly dug grave with a spade lying by

"Oh, Willy, hey, Willy, I'm afraid of your ways
Oh, Willy, hey, Willy, I'm afraid of your ways
I'm afraid you will lead my poor body astray"
"Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, you guessed it just right
Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, you guessed it just right
I dug all your grave the better part of last night"

Then he stabbed her in her heart till her heart's blood did flow
He stabbed her in her heart till her heart's blood did flow
Down into the grave pretty Polly did go
Now a debt to the devil, that Willy must pay
A debt to the devil, that Willy must pay
For killing pretty Polly and running away

"All I Have Is Memories"

"This Wheel's On Fire"

   
(Dylan / Danko)

If your memory serves you well
We were going to meet again and wait
So I'm going to unpack all my things
And sit before it gets too late
No man alive will comfort you
With another tale to tell
But you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode

If your memory serves you well
I was going to confiscate your lace
And wrap it up in a sailor's knot
And hide it in your case
If I knew for sure that it was yours
But it was oh so hard to tell
But you knew that we would meet again
If your memory serves you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode

If your memory serves you well
You'll remember you're the one
That called on them to call on him
To get your favors done
And after every plan had failed
And there was nothing more to tell
You knew that we would meet again
If your memory serves you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode

"Old Blue"

   
(Traditional, arranged & adapted by McGuinn)

Well I had an old dog and his name was Blue
Yes, I had an old dog and his name was Blue
Well I had an old dog and his name was Blue
Bet ya five dollars he's a good dog too

Old Blue chased a possum up a holler (hollow) limb
Blue chased a possum up a holler limb
Blue chased a possum up a holler limb
The possum growled, Blue whined at him

Bye bye Blue
You good dog you
Bye bye Blue
You good dog you

When old Blue died he died so hard
He shook the ground in my back yard
We lowered him down with a golden chain
And every link we called his name

Bye bye Blue You good dog you
Bye bye Blue
You good dog you

My old Blue he was a good old hound
You'd hear him hollering miles around
When I get to Heaven first thing I'll do
I'll grab my horn and call for Blue

Bye bye Blue
You good dog you
Bye bye Blue
You good dog you

"Your Gentle Ways Of Loving Me"

   
(Guilbeau)

It's the humming of the engines of the greyhound bus and trains
That keeps your memory on my mind and here with me
Many miles have come between us, cold nights on some roadside
Bringin' back your gentle ways of loving me

It's the thought of how you loved me, how you treat me, how you thrill me
That clears my fogged mind to where I see
Some little girl as I walk by just looking at me sadly
Bringin' back your gentle ways of loving me

It's just your gentle way of loving me
It's just your gentle way of loving me

It's your hapiness I've never found with other loves that bothers
And a mother saying how her child loves me
And times you never talked about those late evening hours
Bringin' back your gentle ways of loving me

"Child Of The Universe"

   
(Grusin / McGuinn)

Love for anyone who needs her
Innocence is all that feeds her
Rolling through the mist
Floating in a sea of madness
Reaching for the heights of gladness
Or did she exist?

Swirling ions from the stars
Streaming down onto the earth
From a galaxy like ours
Manifested in her birth
Child of the Universe
Giving freely of herself
Purity of truth rehearse
Leaving man her cosmic well

Love for anyone who needs her
Innocence is all that feeds her
Rolling through the mist
Floating in a sea of madness
Reaching for the heights of gladness
Or did she exist?

Vision of an untouched grace
Walking gaily through the sun
No one else could take her place
Nor the work that she'd begun

Love for anyone who needs her
Innocence is all that feeds her
Rolling through the mist
Knowing what is understanding
Patience that is undemanding
Or did she exist?
Or did she exist?
Or did she exist?

"Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man"

   
(McGuinn / Parsons)

He's a drug store truck drivin man
He's the head of the Ku Klux Klan
When summer rolls around
He'll be lucky if he's not in town

Well he's got him a house on the hill
He plays country records till you've had your fill
He's a fireman's friend, he's an all night DJ
But he sure does think different from the records he plays

He's a drug store truck drivin man
He's the head of the Ku Klux Klan
When summer rolls around
He'll be lucky if he's not in town

Well he don't like the young folks I know
He told me one night on his radio show
He's got him a medal he won in the war
Weighs five hundred pounds and sleeps on his floor

He's a drug store truck drivin man
He's the head of the Ku Klux Klan
When summer rolls around
He'll be lucky if he's not in town

He's been like a father to me
He's the only DJ you can hear after three
I'm an all night musician in a rock 'n' roll band
And why he don't like me, I can't understand

He's a drug store truck drivin man
He's the head of the Ku Klux Klan
When summer rolls around
He'll be lucky if he's not in town

"King Apathy III"

   
(McGuinn)

Grease collecting stained-glass rubies
Pillowed gently on a strand
Bearing looks of frenzied blankness
Slowing down their freebie king

Middleclass suburban children
Wearing costumes that reveal
Blindly follow recent pipers
With their mystical appeal
Go now

So I'm leavin' for the country to try and rest my head
Cause if I hang around this scene too long you know babe I'll be dead

Color changes superficial
Apathy still a king
Liberal reactonaries
Never feeling anything
Go now

"Candy"

   
(McGuinn / York)

Drifted in school
Daddy is a fool
We know someone's on your mind
Women whose phase
Velvet and lace
Curling couplets into time and space
Meet the man who needs you now
Can you give your love away like Candy?
Down on your knees
Trimming the trees
Can you imagine what it's like?
Lovers lament
General dissent
Doctor's orders are unkind and bent
Meet the man who needs you now
Can you give your love away like Candy?
Instrumental (Electric Guitar)
Very profound
Merry-go-round
Spinning innocense and dreams
Can you believe
All you perceive
Love is never what it seemed to be
Meet the man who needs you now
Can you give your love away like Candy?
