       MASTER OF SPARKS       Содержание		
High class Slim came floatin' in
down from the county line.
Just gettin' right on Saturday night,
ridin' with some friends of mine.
They invited me just to come and see
just what was on their minds
and then I took my first long look
at the Master of Sparks on high.

In the back of Jimmy's Mack
stood a round steel cage
welded into shape by Slim,
made out of sucker gauge.
How fine, they cried, now with you inside,
strapped in there safe and sound.
I thought, my-o-my, how the sparks will fly
if that thing ever hit the ground.

Slim was so pleased when I had eased
into his trap of death.
He had slammed the door but I said no more
and I though I'd breathed my last breath.
We was out in the sticks down Highway Six
and the crowd was just about right.
The speed was too, so out I flew
like a stick of rollin' dynamite.

When I hit the ground you could hear the sound
and see the sparks a country mile.
End over end I began to spin
but the ball started runnin' wild.
But it was too late as I met my fate
and the ball started gettin' hot.
But through the sparks and the flame I knew that the claim
of the Master of Sparks was gone.
		
       HOT, BLUE AND RIGHTEOUS       Содержание
Hot, blue and righteous,
an angel called me aside.
Hot, blue and righteous,
said, "Stick by me and I'll be your guide."

        I heard the words as I closed my eyes
        down on my, down on my bended knees.
        It fit like a glove and I realized
        somethin' good's happenin' to me.

Hot, blue and righteous
angel called me aside.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
		
       MOVE ME ON DOWN THE LINE       Содержание 
When I hear that Santa Fe start blowin'
I wonder where it's been and where it's goin'.

        I tell you, boy, every time
        the feelin' sure is fine.
        Just move me on down the line,
        just move me on down the line.

Then I heard Red Rooster start his crowin'
around the curve that cloud of smoke was blowin'.

        I tell you, boy, every time
        the feelin' sure is fine.
        Just move me on down the line,
        just move me on down the line.

I'll be where the big wheels keep on turnin'
and the diesel drivers keep them engines burnin'.

        I tell you, boy, every time
        the feelin' sure is fine.
        Just move me on down the line,
        just move me on down the line.

        Move me on down the line, move me on down.
        Move me on down the line, move me on down.

who led me to the Congo.
He dreamed to go to Mexico
and sample a burrito.

Under the oaks I was telling some jokes
and thinkin' I had it made-
Gettin' on with the folks, havin' some Coke
and coolin' off in the shade.

So with my scuba I swam to Cuba
bur I'll be gone tomorrow.
