It's All Over Now, Baby Blue lyrics - Bonnie Raitt
(originally by Bob Dylan)
(from "Steal This Movie" soundtrack)
Well, you must leave now, take what you need, you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
Well, the highway is for gamblers, you better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
This sky, too, is folding under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
Well, all your seasick sailors, they are rowing home
Your empty-handed armies, all going home
Your lover just walked out your door
Has taken all her blankets from your floor
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
Well, leave your stepping stone behind, something calls to you
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you
Well, the vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
Well, strike another match, go start anew
Oh, it's all over now, Baby Blue
Baby Blue
Once In A Lifetime lyrics - Bonnie Raitt
(from "Coast To Coast" soundtrack)
All my life, I tried to find someone to love me
And though the night is lonely when no one's there to hold me
I'd rather be alone than be without you
'Cause no one else will do
And just once in a lifetime
Someone like me can find
Someone to love like you
And nobody else will do
All my days are spent this way no one to talk to
And oh, the rain keeps fallin' and I hear your voice keep on callin'
I'd rather be alone then be without you
'Cause no one else will do
And once in a lifetime
Someone like me can find
Someone to love like you
And nobody else will do
Once in a lifetime
Someone like me can find
Someone to love like you
And nobody else will do
Once in a lifetime
Someone like me can find
Someone to love like you
And nobody else will do
Nobody else will do
Richland Woman Blues lyrics - Bonnie Raitt
Gimme red lipstick and a bright purple rouge
A shingle bob and a shot of good booze
Now hurry home, sweet baby, you come blow your horn
If you come too late, your mama will be gone
Come along young man, everything settin' right
My husband's goin' away till next Saturday night
Now hurry home, sweet baby, you come blow your horn
If you come too late, your mama will be gone
Well, I'm raring to go, pink toes on my feet
My mind is sittin' right for a Tin Lizzie seat
Now hurry home, sweet baby, come blow your horn
You come too late, your mama will be gone
Well, the skirts cut high, the dresses cut low
But you call me a sport, just watch me go
Now hurry home, sweet baby, come blow your horn
You come too late, your mama will be gone
Red rooster said, "Cockle doodle do do"
The rich woman said, "Any dude will do"
Now hurry home, sweet baby, you come blow your horn
You come too late, your mama will be gone
Stayed Too Long At The Fair lyrics - Bonnie Raitt
Jesus cried, wept and died
I guess he went up to heaven
I've been downtown such a long, long time
I'll never make it home by seven
Won't you come and take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore
Well I went down to Chason's
Walked 'til my feet got sore
I never knew what laughin' was
'Til you walked out the door
Won't you come and take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore
Well, you can give my soul to Abraham
Give my soul to Saul
Give my bones to Canada
My feet they don't hurt at all
I don't know who made the highway
I guess that's just my pride
But I have heard the prince of darkness
On his charger ride
The silver blade is gleamin'
The scales are in his hands
I swear another night is fallin'
Don't you lose another man
Won't you come and take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore
