Good Morning Little Schoolgirl – Van Morrison

Thursday, 1 September 2011

A good morning little schoolgirl,
can I go home with you?
Tell your mama and your daddy,
that I’m a little schoolboy too

Baby I love you,
I just can’t help help myself
You’re so good looking pretty babe,
I don’t need nobody else.

Good morning little schoolgirl,
can I go home with you?
Uh, Uh, Uh
I’m gonna leave you baby,
about the break of day
On account of the way you treat me,
I’ve got to stay away

A good morning little schoolgirl,
can I go home with you?
Tell your mama and your daddy,
that I’m a little schoolboy too

Come on pretty baby,
oh you know I can’t help myself
Uh, Uh, Uh
I’m gonna buy me an aeroplane,
to fly all over your town.
And tell everybody baby,
Lord knows you’ve been putting me down.

I can’t stand it babe,
just cannot help myself
You’re so young and pretty,
but you’re lovin’ somebody else

A good morning little schoolgirl,
can I go home with you?
Uh, uh, uh
Oh babe what you do to me,
I can’t help myself

Call it Stormy Monday

(applause)

Lord, Lord
But Tuesday is just as bad, yeah
They, they, they, they
They, they, they, they
Call it Stormy Monday
But yeah, Tuesday’s just as bad, yeah
And Wednesday’s worse
Thursday’s somethin’ that you never had

Eagle-eagle-eagle-eagle
Eagle-eagle-eagle-eagle
Eagle-eagle, flies on Friday
Saturday we go out n’ play, play, play
The eagle flies of Friday
(Hey)
And on Saturday, we go out n’ play, yeah
Sunday, we go to church, yeah
I don’t listen to anything they say, yeah

Well, Lord (Lord) have mercy, yeah
You know my heart’s in misery, yeah
You know, Friday
Lord, have mercy, yeah
My heart’s in misery, yeah
Since I met this woman
I’m caught between the devil
And the deep blue sea, yeah

Go, go, go, go

(Instrumental & guitar)

(Van:) Thank you, ‘Jimmy Witherspoon’

(Horn solo)

Yeah!

Jimmy Witherspoon sings:
Have you ever loved a woman
Caught her runnin’ around?
(audience member shouts out, ‘YES’!)
Yes, have you ever loved a womanส
Caught her runnin’ around?
There’s only one thing to do, boys
It’s stop it, till they worn down

Yes an’ when you come home from work
Ev’ry evenin’
And ev’rything you do was wrong

(audience laughter)

Yes, when you get home from work
In the evenins’
An’ ev’rything you do is wrong
Well, you might as well
Pack up that one suit and leave
Because someone’s carryin’ your roller off

Well, when I went to see my baby
She pulled the chains and locked the door
(Oh!)
She says, ‘Bye, Witherspoon, I don’t need your rollin’ no more!’

Ain’t that just like a woman?
Yes, they’ll leave you feeling awful bad
Yes, an’ all the time they know

Jimmy: ‘This is my verse comin’ up, this is mine!
Van: Alright!
Unknown: All yours!

Well, some people have to love out in the parlor
(Yeah!)
Some people have to love in Lover’s Lane
(Yeah!)
The ‘Spoon’, likes to love in the wee hours of the mornin’
When it’s pourin’ down rain

Now she’s gone
And she’s gone away
Yes, if she ever do wrong once, boys
She’ll never do right, again
Yeah boy, never do right, again

Jimmy says:
‘Thank you, thank you, thank you so very much, thank you’

(Announcer)
‘How ’bout it, Mr. Jimmy Witherspoon’

Van Morrison – The Ballad Of Jesse James

Tuesday, 2 November 2010

Jesse James was a man
And he killed many men
He robbed the Glendale train
And he took from the richer
And he gave that to the poorer
He’d a hand and a heart and a brain

Oh Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life
Three children they were so brave
But that dirty little coward
That shot Mr. Howard
Has laid Jesse James in his grave

(Instrumental)

On Wednesday night
When the moon was shining bright
They robbed that Glendale train
And the folks from miles about (yeah they can)
They all said without a doubt
It was done by her Frankie and Jesse James (yes it was)

Oh Jessie had a wife, to mourn for his life
Three children they were so brave
But that dirty little coward
That shot Mr. Howard
Has laid (poor) Jesse James in his grave

(Instrumental)

Well the people held their breath
When they heard about Jesse’s death (yeah)
And they wondered how poor Jesse came to die (how did he die?)
It was one of his guys, called Little Robert Ford
And he shot Jessie James on the sly

Oh Jessie had a wife to mourn for his life
Three children they were so brave
But that dirty little coward
That shot Mr. Howard
Has laid Jesse James in his grave
Has laid poor Jesse in his grave
He laid Jesse James in his grave

Van Morrison At The End Of The Day (bonus track on 2008 release) tekst

Friday, 29 October 2010

Tell me what do you get
At the end of the day
Is it all worth the while
Can you put on a smile
Does it fill you with pride
All the feelings inside
Or do you just wanna hide
Can you still walk away
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
Are you lonely or sad
Do you think you’ve been had
Is your heart ever glad
Or are you afraid
‘Cause you don’t have it made
That you don’t make the grade
Or of what people say
At the end of the day
Instrumental solo
At the end of the day
Is your framework intact
When you clean up your act
Do they keep coming back
Do you say follow that
Pat yourself on the back
Do you get what you lack
Do they give you respect
Or is it after the fact
At the end of the day
Tell me what do you get
Is it heartachce and pain
Does it keep coming back
Everytime that it rains
When I see you again
Will it still be the same
Am I really to blame
‘Cause I don’t play the game
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
Got to kneel down and pray
At the end of the day
Got to kneel down and pray
At the end of the day
