I married me a wife, she give me trouble all my life Left me out in the cold rain and snow Rain and snow, ooh ooh Lord Left me out in the cold rain and snow She came down the stairs, combing back her long yellow hair And her cheeks were as red as a rose As a rose, ooh oh Lord And her cheeks were as red as a rose I've done all I can do, to try and get along with you And I ain't gonna to be treated this a way This way, oh Lord And I ain't going to be treated this way She came into the room, where she met her final doom And I ain't gonna be treated this way This way, oh Lord And I ain't going to be treated this way I married me a wife, she give me trouble all my life Left me out in the cold rain and snow Rain and snow, ooh ooh Lord Left me out in the cold rain and snow

I don't want no aggravation When my train has left the station If you're there or not, I may not even know Have a round and remember Things we did that weren't so tender Let the train blow the whistle when I go 
On my old guitar sell tickets So someone can finally pick it And tell the girls down at the Ritz I said hello Tell the gossipers and liars I will see them in the fire Let the train blow the whistle when I go 
Let her blow, let her blow Long and loud and hard and happy Let her blow No regrets, all my debts will be paid When I get laid Let that train blow that whistle when I go You'll be left without excuses For the evils and abuses Down today from years and years ago And have yourself another toke From my basket full of smoke let the train blow the whistle when I go Let her blow, let her blow Long and loud and hard and happy Let her blow No regrets, all my debts will be paid When I get laid Let that train blow that whistle when I go Let that train blow that whistle when I go
4.
As you read this letter that I write to you Sweetheart I hope you understand That you're the only love I knew Please forgive me if you can Sweetheart I beg you to come home tonight I'm so blue and all alone I promise that I'll treat you right Love, oh love oh please come home That old wind is cold and slowly creeping 'round And the fire is burning low The snow has covered up the ground Your baby's hungry sick and cold
5.
Remember Me 03:10
You told me once you were mine, alone, forever, An' I was yours till the end of eternity. But all those vows are broken now an' I will never, Be the same except in memory. Remember me when the candle lights are gleamin'. Remember me at the close of a long, long day. An' it would be so sweet when all alone, I'm dreamin', Just to know you still remember me. A brighter face may take my place when we're apart, dear: Another love, with a heart more bold and free. But in the end, fairweather friends may break your heart, dear. An' if they do, sweetheart, remember me. Remember me when the candle lights are gleamin'. Remember me at the close of a long, long day. An' it would be so sweet when all alone, I'm dreamin', Just to know you still remember me. 
Just to know you still remember me.

Well I used to work for the money Working, that’s for bees I go where I want to Go when I please So come on girl, Take me home On the back roads easy does ‘er My mind is fried, I’m flying high Stinkin like a Turkey Buzzard I got a wife in New Orleans, I got one in Arkansas One don’t know when I’m coming, And the other don’t know when I’m gone. -Chorus- I’m here for the pleasure, I ain’t about no pain. Wear out my welcome and you won’t see me again. -Chorus-
7.
My dear you’ve been gone for such a long time You know you have driven me out of my mind You left me alone and went on your way And my broken heart the price it must pay 
The sigh of the wind the beat of the rain
 Bring back to my heart this feeling of pain 
I’ve tried to forget but it never will be 
For my broken heart just won’t set me free

 When I close my eyes or look into space 
I see not the dark but your smilin’ face
 Wherever I go whatever I say 
My poor achin’ heart will have its way

 Well time must go on til my heart is still
 Til that very day I’ll follow your will
 The pain will not die for it must live on
 And I can’t forget you left me alone.
8.
There is a time for love and laughter The days will pass like summer storms The winter wind will follow after But there is love and love is warm There is a time for us to wander When time is young and so are we The woods are greener over yonder The path is new the world is free There is a time when leaves are fallin' The woods are gray the paths are old The snow will come when geese are callin' You need a fire against the cold So do your roaming in the springtime And you'll find your love in the summer sun The frost will come and bring the harvest And you can sleep when day is done
9.
Tive Razão 05:06

Tive razão, posso falar
 Não foi legal, não pegou bem
 Que vontade de chorar, dói
 Em pensar que ela não vem, só dói
 Mas pra mim tá tranquilo, eu vou zoar
 O clima é de partida
Vou dar sequência na vida
 De bobeira que eu não estou
 E você sabe como é que é, eu vou
 Mas poderei voltar quando você quiser

 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ah-ah-ah, ah
 Demorou, vai ser melhor
 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ah-ah-ah

She took my house and she took my car.  She tried to kill me with my Martin guitar.
 Beaver Gone Bad  Beaver Gone Bad Here I sit all broken hearted Tried to shit but I only farted Chorus I hate every bone in your body but mine. X2
12.

You were always so wise reminding me to cross my t’s and dot my bloodshot eyes you were always so wise You and I had some fun but between you and me it can be overdone but we had so much fun Stayed up til dawn so many times I can’t count em all and its started to dawn on me It’s better, if you and I part So that we might live long enough to see heart to heart If you and I part
