God said Abraham kill me a son, Abe said man you must be puttin' me on, God said no, Abe said what? God said you can do what you want Abe, but, Next time you see me comin, you'd better run. Abe said where ya want this killin' done, God said out on Highway 61. Bob Dylan

In the shade of an oak, down by the river, sat an old man and a boy, settin' sails, spinnin' tales, and fishin' for whales, with a lady that they both enjoy. Willie Nelson

The women I've known I wouldn't let tie my shoes, They wouldn't give you the time of day. Unsure of author, performed by Rod Stewart.

My telephone rang, it would not stop, It was President Kennedy callin' me up, he said my friend Bob whatta we need to make the country grow, I said my friend John, Bridgit Bardot, Anita Ekberg, Sophia Loren, the country'll grow. Bob Dylan

Now the rainman gave me two cures, Then he said, "Jump right in." The one was Texas medicine, The other was just railroad gin. An' like a fool I mixed them An' it strangled up my mind, An' now people just get uglier An' I have no sense of time. Oh, Mama, can this really be the end, To be stuck inside of Mobile With the Memphis blues again. Bob Dylan

How's your new love I hope he's doing fine Heard you told him That you'd love him 'til the end of time Now that's the same thing, that you told me Seems like just the other day Gee, ain't it funny, how time slips away? Willie Nelson

I'm so Lonesome I could cry. Hank Williams

There's a lot of doctors that tell me That I'd better start to slowin' it down But there's more old drunks Than there are old doctors So I guess we'd better have another round Willie Nelson

The sun is filled with ice And gives no warmth at all The sky was never blue The stars are raindrops Searching for a place to fall And I never cared for you. More Willie

Just pretend I never happened And erase me from your mind You will not want to remember Any love as cold as mine. Yet more Willie Nelson

Look out man, I got the Madman blues. John Lee Hooker

I'd better stop now as I keep reminding myself of more.
