My Elusive Dreams
I followed you to Texas
I followed you to Utah
We didn't find it there
So we moved on
I followed you to Alabama
Things looked good in Birmingham
We didn't find it there
So we moved on
I know you're tired of following
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things
My elusive dreams
I had your child in Memphis
You heard of work in Nashville
We didn't find it there
So we moved on
To a small farm in Nebraska
To a gold mine in Alaska
We didn't find it there
So we moved on
And now we've left Alaska
Because there was no goldmine
But this time only two of us move on
And now, now we have each other
And a little memory to cling to
And still you won't let me go on alone
I know you're tired of following
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things
My elusive dreams
Summer Wine
[Chorus: Nancy Sinatra]
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
[Verse 1: Lee Hazlewood]
I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
A song that I had only sang to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said let's pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Oh-oh, summer wine
[Chorus: Nancy Sinatra]
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Oh, summer wine
[Verse 2: Lee Hazlewood]
My eyes grew heavy and my lips, they could not speak
I tried to get up, but I couldn't find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me more summer wine
Oh-oh, summer wine
[Chorus: Nancy Sinatra]
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mm, summer wine
[Verse 3: Lee Hazlewood]
When I woke up, the sun was shining in my eyes
My silver spurs were gone, my head felt twice its size
She took my silver spurs, a dollar and a dime
And left me craving for more summer wine
Oh-oh, summer wine
[Chorus: Nancy Sinatra]
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off those silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you my summer wine
Sundown, Sundown
There's no one in this world for me
There's never gonna be
There's no one in this world needs me
There's never gonna be
And yet sometimes in my dreams I hear
Sundown
I miss you sundown
I need you sundown
Come on, come on, come on, come on back to me
Come on, come on, come on, come on back to me
I need you sundown
I need you sundown
There's no hands ever reached for me
There's never gonna be
There's no one meant for lonely me
There's never gonna be
And yet sometimes in my dreams I hear
Sundown
I miss you sundown
I want you sundown
Come on, come on, come on, come on back to me
Come on, come on, come on, come on back to me
I love you sundown
I love you sundown
(Sometimes in my dreams)
I love you sundown
(I hear)
I love you sundown
(Sometimes in my dreams)
I love you sundown
(I hear)
I love you sundown
Jackson
[Verse 1: Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood, Lee]
We got married in a fever
Hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson
Ever since the fire went out
[Chorus: Lee Hazlewood & Nancy Sinatra]
I'm goin' to Jackson
I'm gonna mess around (Yeah?)
Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson
Look out Jackson town
[Verse 2: Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood]
Well, go on down to Jackson
Go ahead and wreck your health (Hmm)
Go play your hand, you big-talkin' man
Make a big fool of yourself
[Chorus: Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood]
Yeah, yeah, go to Jackson
But go comb that hair
I'm gonna snowball Jackson
Go ahead and see if I care
[Verse 3: Lee Hazlewood & Nancy Sinatra]
When I breeze into that city
The people gonna stoop and bow (Ha ha ha)
All them women gonna make me
Teach 'em what they don't know how
[Chorus: Lee Hazlewood & Nancy Sinatra]
I'm goin' to Jackson
Ya turn-a loose-a my coat
'Cause I'm goin' to Jackson
Goodbye, that's all she wrote
[Verse 4: Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood]
They'll laugh at you in Jackson (I doubt it)
And I'll be dancin' on a pony keg
They'll lead you 'round that town like a scalded hound
With your tail tucked between your legs
[Chorus: Nancy Sinatra]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, go to Jackson
You big-talkin' man
And I'll be waitin' there in Jackson
Behind my Japan fan
[Verse 5: Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood]
We got married in a fever
Hotter than a pepper sprout
We been talkin' 'bout Jackson
Ever since the fire went ou-ou-out
[Outro: Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood]
Go to Jackson and that's a natural fact
We're goin' to Jackson
Ain't never comin' back
We got married in a fever
Hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson
Ever since the fire went ou-ou-out
Go to Jackson
Some Velvet Morning
[Chorus]
Some velvet morning when I'm straight
I'm gonna open up your gate
And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra
And how she gave me life
And how she made it end
Some velvet morning when I'm straight
[Verse 1]
Flowers growing on a hill
Dragonflies and daffodils
Learn from us very much
Look at us, but do not touch
Phaedra is my name
[Chorus]
Some velvet morning when I'm straight
I'm gonna open up your gate
And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra
And how she gave me life
And how she made it end
Some velvet morning when I'm straight
[Verse 2]
Flowers are the things we know
Secrets are the things we grow
Learn from us very much
Look at us, but do not touch
Phaedra is my name
[Chorus]
Some velvet morning when I'm straight
Flowers growing on a hill
I'm gonna open up your gate
Dragonflies and daffodils
And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra
Learn from us very much
And how she gave me life
Look at us, but do not touch
Sand
Young woman share your fire with me
My heart is cold, my soul is free
I am a stranger in your land
A wandering man, call me sand
Oh sir my fire is very small
It will not warm thy heart at all
But thee may take me by the hand
Hold me and I'll call thee sand
Young woman share your fire with me
My heart is cold, my soul is free
I am a stranger in your land
A wandering man, call me sand
At night when stars light up the sky
Oh sir I dream my fire is high
Oh taste these lips sir if you can
Wandering man, I call thee sand
Oh sir my fire is burning high
If it should stop sir I would die
A shooting star has crossed my land
Wandering man
She whispered sand
(Whispers) Sand
Young woman shared her fire with me
Now warms herself with memory
I was a stranger in her land
A wandering man, she called me sand
He was a stranger in my land
A wandering man
She called me sand
Lady Bird
[Verse 1: Nancy Sinatra]
I've been where the eagle flies
Rode his wings 'cross autumn skies
Kissed the sun, touched the moon
But he left me much too soon
His lady bird, he left his lady bird
[Verse 2: Lee Hazlewood]
Lady bird, come on down
I'm here waiting on the ground
Lady bird, I'll treat you good
Ah, lady bird, I wish you would
You lady bird, pretty lady bird
[Verse 3: Nancy Sinatra]
Lightning flashed across the sky
The night he taught me how to fly
The sun came up and then I found
Too soon he let his lady down
His lady bird, I'm his lady bird
[Verse 4: Lee Hazlewood]
Lady bird, come on down
I'm here waiting on the ground
Lady bird, I'll treat you good
Ah, lady bird, I wish you would
You lady bird, pretty lady bird
—-
[Verse 5: Nancy Sinatra]
Winter lives in my heart
In the times we're apart
Summer sings a song or two
When he says "I love you true"
My lady bird, yeah, I'm his lady bird
[Outro: Lee Hazlewood & Nancy Sinatra]
Lady bird, come on down
I'm here waiting on the ground
Lady bird, I'll treat you good
Ah, lady bird I wish you would
You lady bird, pretty lady bird (I'm your lady bird)
You're a lady bird (Yes, I'm a lady bird)
You're too much, you little bird (Hahaha)
I’ve Been Down So Long (It Looks Like Up to Me)
He walks these tracks and never looks around
He bums what he can get in any town
He's grown content to live on charity
I've been down so long it looks like up to me
I make excuses when I read the news
On the side of some ole dirty train
He's conjures up a taste of fantasy
I've been down so long it looks like up to me
I've been down so long it looks like up to me
Well, I pushed him off the ladder of success
That's true
But down here on the bottom I get rest
He's saved his thoughts to buy a memory
I've been down so long it looks like up to me
Ahhhh
I put my finger in his mind's eye
And I've given him a reason now to cry
I put his song of life in the wrong key
I've been down so long it looks like up to me
Yeah, he's been down so long it looks like up to me
Poor Lee, I wish you would come up here Lee, you're breaking my heart down there
I wish you would tell this story to everybody
Listen to him crying down there
You keep secrets
Poor Lee
You've hurt me
I'm sorry
I'll never forget
Haahhhh
I'm a poor sport
Hahhhh
