A trouble came a knocking
A knocking at my door
A trouble came a knocking
A man was at the door
He seemed
Angel sent from Heaven
His body was like steel
Little did I know that
With Hell he had a deal
Oh, A trouble came a knocking
A knocking at my door
A trouble came a knocking
A man was there for more
His eyes they were like silver
His pockets full of gold
I reached out for temptation
My soul it soon was sold
A trouble came a knocking
A knocking at my door
A trouble came a knocking
He wanted me back for more
Yes
A devil was at the door
I knew he’d come back for more
Instrumental
A trouble came a knocking
A knocking at my door
A trouble came a knocking
He had to come back for more
Yes He had to come back for more
Oh, A trouble came a knocking
A trouble came a knocking
A trouble came a knocking
A trouble

Driving along the pathways
From your house down to mine
Chasing all my memories
Into another time
Strange
How the flowers they still grow
Just as they used to be
How come life changed other things
Including you and me
Going down bittersweet road
Through the memories in my mind
Sweet youthful days of loving
In another time
You promised me forever
But somehow soon forgot
I’m left with only what has been
And what will sure be not
You come out and greet me
A smile upon your face
The children laugh and giggle
As they run into your place
Does she make you happy?
Are you glad you left?
Does life now give you more
than all the things you left?
Going down bittersweet road
Through the memories in my mind
Sweet youthful days of loving
In another time
You promised me forever
But somehow soon forgot
I’m left with only what has been
And what will sure be not

It’s just a Cajun Town
You lay your money down
Buy a chandelier
You’ll leave it here
Streets paved of Sin
Out-lined by night
Once you visit here
Ain’t never be right
In this Cajun Town, Voodoo around
She calls your name
You play the game
Money abound, You live to lose
Your soul for pennies
It won’t let you choose
It won’t let you choose
Her name is black-eyed Sue
She’ll lead you back
The room is dark
It’ll hide the fact
Ain't even got no soul
Left to sell
You traded it
In Cajun Hell
In this Cajun Town, Voodoo around
She calls your name
You play the game
Money abound, You live to lose
Your soul for pennies
It won’t let you choose
It won’t let you choose
So don’t be fooled
You won’t get rich
The pretty lady
Is just a voodoo witch (bitch)

I’m gonna start me a journey
Right now here today
I’m gonna walk till my troubles
Are far far away
I’m gonna go to the river
I’m gonna sail down her shore
I’ll show you the reason
What real livings for
Its gonna be tough
I might cry a tear
But in the end baby
I’ll be facing all my fear
All I ever wanted
Was you by my side
But that was just a dream baby
That has been denied
I’m gonna fly to the sky
And see the world at my feet
I will free up my love for you
To make this journey complete
I’m gonna take me a train
On tracks that disappear
Just like your love for me
I’ll be gone within a year
It’s gonna be tough
I might cry a tear
But in the end baby
I’ll be facing all my fear
All I ever wanted
Was you by my side
But that was just a dream baby
That has been denied
But that was just a dream baby
That has been denied

FisherMan won’t you cast your line
Bring me back a piece of time
To tell her what I
Really meant to say
The yellow flowers faded fast
An image of the broken past
Left in promises of yesterday
FisherMan, Oh FisherMan
Love it comes but once around
I left her in that little town
Thinkin dreams are bigger far away
The rocks we threw on wishes there
She told me she would always care
I smell her fragrance in the air
Its in my bones and in my stare
I feel her in the child we share
I hope my boy is happy there
Back in yesterday
FisherMan, Oh FisherMan
FisherMan won’t you cast your line
Bring me back a piece of time
To tell her what I
Really meant to say
The yellow flowers faded fast
An image of the broken past
Left in promises of yesterday
Does she live a simple life
Knowing not of worldly strife
I’ve only loved her all my life
She could have been my loving wife
And in my arms today
FisherMan, Oh FisherMan
The river flows
It only knows
Fools they have their own repose
Facing crimes of time
They’ve yet to pay
Words & Music by Catlin Hale
I knew you wanted to be my love
I knew you wanted to be
I knew you wanted to be my love
In the way you looked at me
I knew you wanted to have me now
I knew you wanted to win
I knew you always be around
Until I’d give in
Until I’d give in
I knew
I knew
I just knew

I Think I’ll just say no
The chores have gotta go
Make up some alibi
Watch the world go by
I Think I’ll have me a Beer
Think I’ll invite a few friends
Make a few amends
Watch a game or two
Talk ‘bout the girls we knew
chorus
I Think I’ll have me a Beer
I Think I’ll have me a Beer
Woman,
Won’t cha bring it here
Sit it right by my side
I’m bout fit to be tied
I Think I’ll have me a Beer
I Think working is bad
Way too much of a fad
But, when there’s drinkin to do
Gonna see that job thru
I Think I’ll have me a Beer
A smart man I once knew
Said you must take time for you
Why hurry the dream
Better to sit-down and scheme
I think I’ll have me a Beer
She says it’s just my style
Putting things off for a while
I prefer to sit and stare
Rather than make a repair
I’m not sure what she means
We don’t really need screens
chorus
I Think I’ll have me a Beer
I Think I’ll have me a Beer
Woman,
Won’t cha bring it here
Sit it right by my side
I’m bout fit to be tied
I Think I’ll have me a Beer
I Think working is bad
Way too much of a fad
But, when there’s drinkin to do
Gonna see that job thru
I Think I’ll have me a Beer
I Think I’ll have me a Beer
Woman,
Won’t cha bring it here
Sit it right by my side
I’m bout fit to be tied
I Think I’ll have me a Beer
I Think I’ll have another one
Hey get your hand off my prize possession
Go get your own, Man you can’t trust anybody
I think I’ll have me a Super Mug made with my name on it
Engraved in gold, speaking of gold
I think I’ll have me a Beer

If I said
That I loved you
If I said
I’ll never lie
If I said
I’ll wait here for you
Would you still tell me goodbye
If I said
Your love is everything
If I said
For you I’ll wait
If I said
Take me as yours now
Would you still leave me to wait
Would you still
leave me here
to wait
If you were
The man I needed
If you were
The man I knew
If you could
Be my only
One that I run to
If you saw
My empty longing
If you cared
To try and see
If you should
Not give me reason
To try to cease to be

Little boy blue
Lived in a shoe
Eating his buckets of whey
Along came a girl
Shiny with curls
And said
Little Boy won’t you come out and play
Little boy blue
What will you do
Life could be happy and gay
They played on the hill
She said her name was Jill
And that she’d be back again some day
Little boy blue
His love was true
Waited for her day after day
The mouse in the clock
Makes it tick tock
While time is slipping away
Dum De Da Dum
Dum De Da Dum
Dum De Da Dum De Da Dum Dum
Da Da De Da Dum
Dum De Da Dum Dum

Little boy blue
Now eating stew
Tends to the flock every day
Found little Bo-Peep
Thought she was neat
Now together their gonna stay
Now together their gonna stay

Oh
When I was a little girl
I used to walk the streets
cold and dark
and bad they were
like the men I used to meet
And when I grew
To love the life
Of living on the edge
It did the trick of doing in
The ones I used to have
So why don’t you hate me
So why don’t you do
I have only come to take
The love that you once knew
So why don’t you hate me
So why don’t you run
I’m here for salvation
Won’t you give me some
Oh
When I was a little girl
I used to walk the streets
cold and dark
and cruel they were
like the men
like the men
like the men
I used to greet
Words & Music by Catlin Hale
My love is like a bullet
Tearing through your soul
Leaving in its place
A never-ending hole
Inside will fall lust and greed
And never ending pain
For in its place only waste
Of wanting to remain
In our lives we take the chance
Of falling deep in love
Our days they follow darken paths
Of which we crawl above
My love for you is deadly
My love for you immense
Whenever have two lives been taken
On a trip of such intense
Tomorrow will bring another day
In which we are apart
How I wish our love could be
Something to restart
But you know
My love is like a bullet tearing through your soul
And in its place only waste
A never-ending hole
Words & Music by Catlin Hale
In my arms you were sleeping
In my heart you now rest
Why does God take some things
That are so Heaven blessed
So Rock A Bye Baby
Rock A Doodle Do
Daddy loves you madly
And Mommy loves you too
In this world that were living
Doing the best that we can
The Good Book shall guide us through this
To follow the master plan
So Rock A Bye Baby
Rock A Doodle Do
Daddy loves you madly
And Mommy loves you too
Sweet and gentle memories still linger
Forever you shall be
Our special one and only
Child that will never be
So Rock A Bye Baby
Rock A Doodle Do
Daddy loves you madly
And Mommy
Mommy loves you too

Take me as I come
When I’m coming back to you
Take me as I run
Running far away from truth
Tell me that you’ll
Take me back
No matter what I do
Take me as I’m coming back to you
Take me by the hand
Tell me we will always be
Always understand
That through these eyes you’ll see
Depths of love
Tied to your soul
Until eternity
That leads me back to coming back to you
Take me as you go
When Heaven calls your name
Take me as your own
By body and by name
I will offer up my sins
Placed at your feet to save
Bless me as I’m coming back to you
Lead me back to coming back to you
Take me as I’m coming back to you

I loved him like a lover should
I loved him like a God
I bowed down to his every whim
Under the rule of the rod
I wanted to be happy so
I wanted to be loved
Life had its twists and turns you know
Under the rule of the rod
But now times are a-changing
Its time now to live good
Times are a-changing
A-changing as they should
A-changing as they should
Now ladies (people) don’t be given in
To given up yourselves
Free yourselves from a life of chains
Under the rule of the rod
Cause now times are a-changing
Its time now to live good
Times are a-changing
a-changing as they should
a-changing as they should
under the rule of the rod
under the rule of the rod
they’ll be a-changing for the good
they’ll be a changing for the good
they are a-changing for the good
they are a-changing for the good
they are a-changing for the good

Why undo all the good
That I do for you
Don’t go chasing my dreams away
Take your lies and alibis
I’m tired of hearing your
Excuses and tries
Why undo all the good
that I do
Why undo all the good
that I do
Why undo all the good
That I do for you
Don’t go chasing my dreams away
Life is hard enough you know
Don’t make me go through it so low
Why undo all the good
that I do
Why undo all the good
that I do
Why undo all the good
That I do for you
Don’t go chasing my dreams away
The drinks the sin that caves you in
You’re walking the line between me and Gin
Why undo all the good
that I do
Why undo all the good
that I do
Don’t go chasing my dreams away
Don’t go chasing my dreams away
Don’t go drinking my dreams away
Don’t go drinking my dreams away
Don’t go drinking my dreams away
