Jimi Hendrix - Drifter Escape - lyrics

OH, HELP ME IN MY WEAKNESS
I HEARD THE DRIFTER SAY
AS THEY CARRIED HIM FROM THE COURT ROOM
AND WERE TAKING HIM AWAY
WELL, MY TRIP HASN'T BEEN A PLEASANT ONE
AND MY TIME IT ISN'T LONG
AND I STILL DO NOT KNOW
WHAT IS WAS THAT I'VE DONE WRONG
WELL THE JUDGE HE CAST HIS ROBE ASIDE
A TEAR CAME TO HIS EYE
WELL YOU FAIL TO UNDERSTAND, HE SAID
WHY MUST YOU EVEN TRY
OUTSIDE THE CROWD WAS STIRRING
YOU COULD HEAR IT FROM THE DOOR
INSIDE THE JUDGE WAS STEPPING DOWN
WHILE THE JURY CRIED FOR MORE, MORE, MORE
CRIED FOR MORE, CRIED FOR MORE
HEY YOU BETTER LEAVE THAT BOY'S SOUL ALONE
OH STOP THAT PASSING THE JURY
GRAB ME A TENDON AND ME A NURSE
OH, THE TRIAL WAS BAD ENOUGH
YES, BUT THIS IS TEN TIMES WORSE
JUST THEN BOLT OF LIGHTNING
SHOWED THE COURT HOUSE OUT OF SHAPE
AND WHILE EVERYBODY KNELT TO PRAY
THE DRIFTER MADE HIS ESCAPE
THE DRIFTER DID HIS ESCAPE
YEAH
SO LONG

Jimi Hendrix - Drifter's Escape - lyrics

Oh, help me in my weakness
I heard the drifter say
As they carried him from the court room
And were taking him away
Well, my trip hasnt been a pleasant one
And my time it isnt long
And I still do not know
What is was that Ive done wrong
Well the judge he cast his robe aside
A tear came to his eye
Well you fail to understand, he said
Why must you even try
Outside the crowd was stirring
You could hear it from the door
Inside the judge was stepping down
While the jury cried for more, more, more
Cried for more, cried for more
Hey you better leave that boys soul alone
Oh stop that passing the jury
Grab me a tendon and me a nurse
Oh, the trial was bad enough
Yes, but this is ten times worse
Just then bolt of lightning
Showed the court house out of shape
And while everybody knelt to pray
The drifter made his escape
The drifter did his escape
Yeah
So long

Jimi Hendrix - Drifting - lyrics

Drifting
On a sea of forgotten teardrops
On a lifeboat
Sailing for
Your love
Sailing home
Drifting
On a sea of old heartbreaks
On a lifeboat
Sailing for
Your love
Sailing home

Jimi Hendrix - Midnight Lightnin' - lyrics

I get stoned
I cant go home
Im calling long distance on a public saxophone
My head is achin
Lord, my mind is breakin
Feel I got run over by captain coconut and his dog name rover
Gotta keep movin

To understand both sides of the sky
You gotta kepp on groovin, yeah
Good groovin

We gotta keep on lovin
Good, good, good lovin
Make love on my dyin bed
We gotta stop smokin, stop, stop,

Or else I cough myself to death
And to make love to you, baby,

We gotta keep movin
Keep on groovin
Understand both sides of the sky
Keep on movin
Keep on movin
You got your God and so do i

Jimi Hendrix - Mr. Bad Luck - lyrics

[Was released as "Look Over Yonder" before]
Look over yonder here come the blues
The thirteenth of any time, powered by fools
I can see 'em comin'
Wearing a blue armoured coat
You're sittin' here with your violins
Hittin' wrong notes
Look over yonder, he's comin' my way
When he's around, I never have a happy day
(you even bust my guitar strings)
Look over yonder, look over yonder, look over yonder etc.
Look over yonder
Well, he's talkin' to my baby
They found my peace pipe on her
Now they're draggin' her away
Lord knows we don't need a devil like him beatin' us around
Well, he's knockin' on my door
How my house is tumblin' down
Now don't you come no closer
The path is keepin' me bolder
Wait by my door baby
Unless you want to start another war
Look over yonder, hey
Look over yonder
Look over yonder
Look over yonder

Jimi Hendrix - Castle Made Of Sand - lyrics

DOWN THE STREET YOU CAN HEAR HER SCREAM
"YOU'RE A DISGRACE"
AS SHE SLAMS THE DOOR IN HIS DRUNKEN FACE
AND NOW HE STANDS OUTSIDE
AND ALL THE NEIGHBOURS START TO GOSSIP AND DROOL
HE CRIES "OH GIRL, YOU MUST BE MAD
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SEET LOVE YOU AND ME HAD"
AGAINST THE DOOR HE LEANS AND STARTS A SCENE
AND HIS TEARS FALL AND BURN THE GARDEN GREEN
AND SO CASTLES MADE OF SAND,
FALL IN THE SEA EVENTUALLY
A LITTLE INDIAN BRAVE WHO BEFORE HE WAS TEN
PLAYED WAR GAMES IN THE WOODS WITH HIS INDIAN FRIENDS
AND HE BUILT A DREAM THAT WHEN HE GREW UP
HE WOULD BE A FEARLESS WARRIOR INDIAN CHIEF
MANY MOONS PASSED AND THE DREAM GREW STRONG UNTIL TOMORROW
HE WOULD SING HIS FIRST WAR SONG
AND FIGHT HIS FIRST BATTLE BUT SOMETHING WENT WRONG
SURPRISE ATTACK KILLED HIM IN HIS SLEEP THAT NIGHT
AND SO CASTLES MADE OF SAND
MELTS INTO THE SEA EVENTUALLY
THERE WAS A YOUNG GIRL WHOSE HEART WAS A FROWN
BECAUSE SHE WAS CRIPPLED FOR LIFE AND COULDN'T SPEAK A SOUND
AND SHE WISHED AND PRAYED SHE WOULD STOP LIVING
SO SHE DECIDED TO DIE
SHE DREW HER WHEEL CHAIR TO THE EDGE OF THE SHORE
AND TO HER LEGS SHE SMILED
"YOU WON'T HURT ME NO MORE"
BUT THEN A SIGHT SHE'D NEVER SEEN MADE HER JUMP AND SAY
"LOOK A GOLDEN WINGED SHIP IS PASSING MY WAY"
AND IT REALLY DIDN'T HAVE TO STOP
IT JUST KEPT ON GOING
AND SO CASTLES MADE OF SAND
SLIPS INTO THE SEA EVENTUALLY

Jimi Hendrix - Dolly Dagger - lyrics

Here comes dolly dagger
Her loves so heavy, gonna make you stagger.
Dolly dagger, she drinks her blood from a jagged edge...
Been riding broomsticks since she was fifteen
Blow out all the other witches on the scene.
She got a bull whip, just as long as your life.
Her tongue can even scratch
The soul out of the devils wife.
