Sixto Rodriguez - Sandrevan Lullaby Lyrics
The generals hate holidays
Others shoot up to chase the sun blues away
Another store front church is open
Sea of neon lights, a boxer his shadow fights
Soldier tired and sailor broken
Winter's asleep at my window
Cold wind waits ...
Sixto Rodriguez - Can't Get Away Lyrics
Born in the troubled city
In Rock and Roll, USA
In the shadow of the tallest building
I vowed I would break away
Listened to the Sunday actors
But all they would ever say
That you can't get away from it
No you can't get a...
Sixto Rodriguez - Inner City Blues Lyrics
Going down a dirty inner city side road
I plotted
Madness passed me by, she smiled hi
I nodded
Looked up as the sky began to cry
She shot it.
Met a girl from Dearborn, early six o'clock this morn
A cold fact
Asked about her b...
Sixto Rodriguez - I Think Of You Lyrics
Just a song we shared, I'll hear

Of the dreams we dreamt together ...
Sixto Rodriguez - Gommorah Lyrics
Come on down and see me
You know my name well

The road to much wealth.

Sixto Rodriguez - Forget It Lyrics
But thanks for your time
Then you can thank me for mine
And after that's said

And lie to me.
Don't say anymore
Just walk ...
Sixto Rodriguez - Crucify Your Mind Lyrics
Was it a huntsman or a player

That now assumes relaxed positions
And prostitutes your loss?
Were you tortured by your own thirst
In those pleasures that you seek

June Christy - Pete Kelly's Blues Lyrics
They're a sad thing,
They're a bad thing,

When they threaten,
Just start bettin'
You'll lose.
You hide yourself
Behind a prayer,
The blues will come
And find you there.
I feel the blues,
They're called P...

And I'll forget about the girl that said no

Sixto Rodriguez - Like Janis Lyrics

And you measure for love by the sweet things you're told
And you live in the past of a dream that you're in
And your selfishness is your cardinal sin
And you want to be h...

Woman please be gone
You've stayed here much too long

Sixto Rodriguez - Rich Folks Hoax Lyrics
The moon is hanging in the purple sky
The baby's sleeping while it's mother sighs

Whenever I'm around you
It seems you're not there

Hailey Whitters - City Girl Lyrics
City girls have all the fun

Sixto Rodriguez - Jane S. Piddy Lyrics
