A Satisfied Mind

(Joe 'Red' Hayes / Jack Rhodes)


How many times have you heard someone say,

If I had his money I would do things my way,

But little they know, that it's so hard to find

One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.



Once I was waiting in fortune and fame,

Everything that I dreamed for to get a start in life's game

But suddenly it happened, I lost every dime

But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind.



Money can't buy back your youth when you're old

Or a friend when you're lonely, or a love that's grown cold

The wealthiest person is a pauper at times

Compared to the man with a satisfied mind.



When life has ended, and my time has run out

My friends and my loved ones, I leave there's no doubt

But there's one thing for certain when it comes my time

I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.





Satisfied Mind

- Music & Lyrics: Red Hayes/Jack Rhodes
- appears on Law and Order (1981)

How many times have you heard someone say,
"If I had his money, I could do things my way."
But little they know, it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.

Once I was living in fortune and fame,
Everything that I dreamed of to get a start in life's game.
Then suddenly it happened, I lost every dime,
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind.

'Cause money can't buy back your youth when you're old,
Or a friend when you're lonely,
Or a love that's grown cold.
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times,
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind.

When life has ended, my time has run out,
My friends and my loved ones I'll leave, there's no doubt.
But one thing for certain when it comes my time,
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.







Oh Babe, It Ain't No Lie

Elizabeth Cotton


Been all around this whole round world
And I just got back today
Work all the week, honey I'd give all to you
Honey, babe, what more can I do?

Oh, babe, it ain't no lie
Oh, babe, it ain't no lie
Oh, babe, it ain't no lie
You know this life I'm livin' is mighty fine

One old woman, Lord, in this town
Keep-a tellin' her lies on me
Wish to my soul that old woman would die
Keep-a tellin' her lies on me







SEARCHING FOR
A SOLDIER'S GRAVE
Written by: (?)

(Chorus:)
Somewhere here among these many thousands
Of Americans who all died true and brave
That's where I know I'll find him resting
So I'm here, I'm searching for his grave

You ask me, stranger, why I made this journey
Why cross three thousand miles of rolling waves
Like many others, my darling was killed in action
That's why I'm here, I'm searching for his grave

(Repeat Chorus)

When I come to the spot where he's sleeping
I know it will cause more heartaches inside
But I'll long to be by his side once more and tell him
Tell him that I love him, and will until I die

(Repeat Chorus)







Folsom Prison Blues
by Johnny Cash
I hear the train a-coming
It's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
And time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a-rollin'
On down to San Antone

When I was just a baby
My Mama told me, son
Always be a good boy
Don't ever play with guns
But I shot the man in Reno
Just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowin'
I hang my head and cry

I bet there's rich folk eatin'
In a fancy dining car
They're prob'ly drinkin' coffee
And smokin' big cigars
Well I know I had it comin'
I know I can't be free
But those people keep a-movin'
And that's what tortures me

Well if they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on
A little farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison
That's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
Blow my blues away






Folsom Prison Blues

I hear the train a-comin'; it's rollin' 'round the bend,
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
I'm stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on.
But that train keeps a-rollin'
On down to San Antone.

When I was just a baby, my mama told me. "Son,
Always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns."
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.
When I hear that whistle blowin'
I hang my head and cry.

I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car.
They're prob'ly drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars,
But I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free,
But those people keep a-movin',
And that's what tortures me.

Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine,
I bet I'd move on over a little farther down the line,
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay,
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
Blow my blues away.





Big River

Well I taught that weeping willow how to cry cry cry,
Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
Tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you big river,
And I'm a gonna sit right here until I die.

I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota,
She tore me up everything I heard her drawl, that southern drawl.
Well I heard my dream went back downstream, cavortin' in Davenport,
And I follow you big river when you called.

Well I followed her down to St. Louie, later on down the river,
Trader said she's been here, but she's gone, boy, she's gone.
Well I followed her down to Memphis, but she just walked off the bus,
She raised a few eyebrows and she went on down alone.

Well I've gotten on down to Baton Rouge, River Queen roll on,
Take that woman down to New Orleans, New Orleans.
I give up, I've had enough, followed my blues on down to the gulf,
She loves you big river more than me.





Big River
Lyrics: Johnny Cash
Music: Johnny Cash

One of the songs Bob Weir sang most frequently with the Dead. He also sang it at least once with Kingfish. And more recently with Ratdog and Weir/Wasserman.

Chorus
Well I taught that weepin' willow how to cry, cry, cry
Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
Tears I cried for that woman gonna flood you, big river
I'm gonna sit right here until I die

Well I met her accidentally in St Paul, Minnesota
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl that southern drawl
Then I heard my dream went back downstream cavorting in Devonport
And I followed you big river when you called

[chorus]

Well I followed her to St Louis later on down the river
A freighter says she's been here, but she's gone, boy, she's gone
Well I found her trail in Memphis but she just walked up the bluff
Raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone

[chorus]

Now won't you bat it down by Baton Rouge, river queen rolling on
Take that woman down to New Orleans, New Orleans
Go on I've had enough, dump my blues down in the Gulf
She loves you, big river, more than me

[chorus]






That Lucky Old Sun

Haven Gillespie / Beasley Smith

Up in the Mornin', out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay

But that Lucky Old Sun has nothin' to do
But roll, roll around heaven all day

Fuss with my woman toil for my kids
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray

While that Lucky Old Sun got nothin' to do
But roll, roll around heaven all day.

Lord above, can't you hear me pinin'?
Tears all in my eyes

Send down that cloud with a silver linin',
Lift me up to Paradise

Show me that river, take me across
And wash all my troubles away.

Like That Lucky Old Sun, give me nothin' to do
But roll, roll around heaven all day

Show me that river
Lead me across and wash all my troubles away.

Like That Luck-y Old Sun, give me nothin' to do
But roll, roll around heaven

Roll, roll around heaven







(I'm Your) Hoochie Coochie Man

by Willie Dixon

The gypsy woman told my mother
Before I was born
I got a boy child's comin'
He's gonna be a son of a gun
He gonna make pretty women's
Jump and shout
Then the world wanna know
What this all about
But you know I'm him
Everybody knows I'm him
Well you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm him

I got a black cat bone
I got a mojo too
I got the Johnny Concheroo
I'm gonna mess with you
I'm gonna make you girls
Lead me by my hand
Then the world will know
The hoochie coochie man
But you know I'm him
Everybody knows I'm him
Oh you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm him

On the seventh hours
On the seventh day
On the seventh month
The seven doctors say
He was born for good luck
And that you'll see
I got seven hundred dollars
Don't you mess with me
But you know I'm him
Everybody knows I'm him
Well you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm him






Money Honey
by Jesse Stone

You know, the landlord rang my front door bell.
I let it ring for a long, long spell.
I went to the window,
I peeped through the blind,
And asked him to tell me what's on his mind.
He said,
Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey, if you want to get along with me.


Well, I screamed and I hollered,
I was so hard-pressed.
I called the woman that I loved the best.
I finally got my baby about half past three,
She said I'd like to know what you want with me.
I said,


Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey,
If you want to get along with me.


Well, I said tell me baby, what's wrong with you?
From this day on our romance is through.
I said tell me, baby, face to face
How could another man take my place?
She said


Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey,
If you want to get a long with me.


Well, I've learned my lesson and now I know
The sun may shine and the winds may blow.
The women may come and the women may go,
But before I say I love you so, I want


Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey,
If you want to get along with me.
