Janis Joplin Album

Bye, bye-bye, baby, bye-bye.
I gotta be seeing you around
When I change my living standard and I move uptown,
Bye-bye, baby, bye-bye.

So long, my honey, so long.
Too bad you had to drift away
‘Cause I could use some company
Right here on this road, on this road I’m on today.

I get the feeling I could chase you clean on in the ball
And wind up staying pull off, put down strung out and stalled.
Honey, I ain’t got time to wait on you or to fetch your super ball,
I got lots of things I’ve got to do.

I know that you got things to do and places to be.
I guess I’ll have to find the thing you placed on me.
I may wind up in the street or sleep beneath a tree,
Still I guess you know honey I’ve gotta go.

Bye, bye-bye, baby, bye-bye.
I guess you know you’re on your own,
It seems you just got lost somewhere out in the world
And you left me here to face it all alone,
You left me here to face it all alone,
You left me here to face it all alone,
Bye, bye-bye baby, baby bye-bye!

Hey mama, mama, come a look at sister,
She’s a-standing on the levee trying to do that twist,
But easy rider don’t you deny my name,
Oh no, oh no.

Well, I got a girl with a diamond ring,
I’ll tell you, boys, she knows how to shake that thing.
Oh! Easy rider don’t you deny my name,
Oh no, oh no.

Play it!

Well, I got a horse and he lives in a tree,
He watches Huckleberry Hound on his TV.
But easy rider don’t you deny my name,
Oh no, oh no.

I would buy you a plastic suit
And I would even buy you some cardboard fruit.
Oh! But easy rider don’t you deny my name,
Oh no, oh no.

Yeah, easy rider, don’t you deny my name, pretty baby doll
I said, easy rider, don’t you deny my name, pretty baby doll
I said, easy rider, don’t you deny my name, pretty baby doll
I said, easy rider, don’t you deny my name, pretty baby ...

You come around here
Trying to make your demand.
You’ve got a need, darling,
I’ve seen it grow and expand.

Yeah, you want to reveal my life
With your own two hands.
Well, tell me now
What are you trying to do ?

Those holes in your life
Show what you require.
You’re needin’ new eyes,
Oh Lord, honey take any wire ?

Yeah you’ve gotta save us all
Before the next big fire.
Tell me now
What are you trying to do ?

Walked in my life,
Child, and I don’t even know your name.
You put others around behind ya
As if they were lame.

You insist a simple feeling
Will be all the same.
Well, tell me now
What are you trying to do ?

Now I look like I’m suffering,
N-n-n-n-n-n-now I’m doing fine.
One look at yourself baby,
Child, I got you alive.

Yeah, you’re gonna take care of yours,
I’ll take care of mine.
What are you trying to do ?
Hey!

Light is faster than sound
My head to the ground
Mind going round
Faster than sound.

What goes up must go down
World goes around
Sun shines around
Faster than sound.

Suddenly I see your face
Faster than sound
Through the emptiness of space.
Faster than sound
You’re turning my mind all around
Faster than sound
‘Cause life is faster than sound.
Faster than sound
Faster than sound

Light is faster than sound
My head to the ground
Mind going round
Faster than sound.

What goes up must go down
World goes around
Sun shines around
Faster than sound.

Whoa, suddenly I see your face
Faster than sound
Through the emptiness of space.
Faster than sound
You’re turning my mind all around,
Faster than sound
‘Cause life is faster than sound.
Faster than sound
Faster than sound

Now call on me, darling, and I’ll come to you.
When you’re in trouble and feel so sad,
Well, call on me, darling, come on call on me, and I’ll help you.
Yeah!

A man and a woman have each other, baby,
To find their way in this world.

Don’t take your sweet, your sweet love from me.

Baby, when you’re down and feel so blue,
Well, no, you won’t drown, darling, I’ll be there too.

Whatever your troubles, honey, I don’t care.

Don’t take your sweet, sweet love from me!

Please! So baby, when times are bad,
Call on me, darling, just call on me.

Oh, the cuckoo, she’s a pretty bird, and she warbles when she flies
But she never hollers cuckoo till the fourth day of July.

Said Jack o’Diamonds, well Jack o’Diamonds, oh I know you of old,
Honey you robbed me of my silver and out of all my gold,
All of my gold, all of my gold.

Well, Jack o’Diamonds, oh Jack o’Diamonds, oh I know you of old,
Honey, you robbed me of my silver and out of all my gold.

Said the cuckoo, she’s a cruel bird, and she warbles when she flies
And every time that she passes, my true love says good-bye,
Well, says good-bye, well says good-bye,
Ooh, ooh ...

Women is losers
Women is losers, oh
Say honey women is losers.
Well, I know you must try, Lord,
And everywhere
Men almost seem to end up on top.

Oh, if they told you they want you
Say come around by your door.
Whoa I say now, if they don’t desert you,
They’ll leave you and never be here for more.
Oh yeah!

Women is losers
Women is losers
Women is losers, Lord, Lord, Lord!!!
So now I know you must-a know,
Lord, it’s true,
Men always seem to end up on top.

They wear a nice shiny armor
Until there is a dragon for to slay.
Any day now,
Course with men beggin’ to pay ‘em
Then they’ll turn and run away, oh!

Women is losers
Women is losers
Women is losers, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord!!!
So I know you must-a know, Lord,
Anywhere
Men almost seem to end up on top, oh!

Well, the blind man, he stood on the way and cried
Blind man, he stood on the way and cried
Blind man stood on the way and cried,

Crying, “Oh, show me the way, show me the way,
Show me the way, the way to go home.”

My daddy stood on that-a way and cried
My daddy stood on that-a way and cried
Daddy stood on the way and cried

Crying, “Oh, show me the way, show me the way,
Show me the way, the way to go home.”

Now now now, the blind man, he stood on the way and cried
Blind man, he stood on the way and cried
Blind man stood on the way and cried,

Crying, “Oh, show me the way, show me the way,
Show me the way, the way to go home.”

“Show me the way, show me the way,
Show me the way, the way to go home.”

Down on me, down on me,
Looks like everybody in this whole round world
They’re down on me.

Love in this world is so hard to find
When you’ve got yours and I got mine.
That’s why it looks like everybody in this whole round world
They’re down on me.

Saying they’re down on me, down on me.
Looks like everybody in this whole round world
Down on me.

When you see a hand that’s held out toward you,
Give it some love, some day it may be you.
That’s why it looks like everybody in this whole round world
They’re down on me, yeah.

Lord, they’re down on me, down on me, oh!
Looks like everybody in this whole round world
Is down on me.

Believe in your brother, have faith in man,
Help each other, honey, if you can
Because it looks like everybody in this whole round world
Is down on me.

I’m saying down on me, oh, down on me, oh!
It looks like everybody in this whole round world
Down on me!!

Make it the last time, make it the last time
Make it the last time, oh darling please.

But I don’t understand why you always pick the time
When I’ve just talked to you with your love on my mind.
To see a distant light, to hear a far-off horn
To leave me one more time, I can’t stand no more

Say no more, well no more,
Well no more, darling, please.

And every time you leave I make the very same vow
That when you come back I ain’t gonna love you no how.
But when you return you look so fine to me
I can’t stand no more, my darling, it’s just got to be

I said the last time, oh the last time,
Oh the last time, darling, please.

Don’t you understand me, don’t you understand me ?
Honey, don’t you understand my word ?

Well, you told me that you love me, I believed you, darling,
But you lied, you know it’s true.
Hold on to my heart, I’ll believe it till you’re leaving
Then I’ll cry.

Oh darling, oh darling,
Oh darling, make up your mind

Oh, I can’t stand your loving, honey, it’s tearing me apart,
You done got my soul, but now you’re after my heart.
Well, don’t hurt me, darling, now you know how to do it so well
I just got one consolation, I just wail

It was the last time
It was the last time
It was the last time, darling, please.

When you told me that you love me I believed you, darling,
But you lied, you know it’s true.
Hold on to my heart, I’ll believe it till you’re leaving
Then I’ll cry.

Well no more, well no more,
Well no more without you, please!

If you wanna love me, honey, please stay home,
If you don’t wanna love me, baby, please stay gone.
Don’t you understand me, don’t you understand me ?
Don’t you understand my words ?

Say no more, oh no more,
Well no more, oh, darling, oh!

You told me that you love me I believed you, darling,
But you lied, you know it’s true.
Hold on to my heart, I’ll believe it till you’re leaving
Then I’ll cry, yeah.
