I'm here waiting on the ground. Lady bird I'll treat you good. Ah, lady bird I wish you would. You lady bird...pretty lady bird. Female: Lightning flashed across the sky.

The title song of Lee's album 'Friday's child' which also made the charts for Nancy Sinatra. Friday's child Friday's child, hard luck is her brother. Friday's child, her sister's misery. Friday's child, her daddy they call hard times. Friday's child, that's me. Friday's child, born a little ugly. Friday's child, good looks passed her by...oh. Friday's child, makes something look like nothing. Friday's child, am I...ya. Friday's child, never climbed no mountain. Friday's child, she ain't even gonna try...oh. Friday's child, whom they'll forgot to bury. Friday's child, am I. Here are two of his finest songs. They are included on the MGM album 'Lee Hazlewoodism, its cause and cure' (1966). I am a part I am a part of every road you walk down and I am a part of every dream that you found. And when you cry I'll cry along with you and should you die I know that I'll die too. I am that part of everything that you do, since I became a part of you, since I became a part of you. I am a part of every hurt and every lie and I am a part of every tear that you cry. And when you're sad you know that I'm sad too and if you're bad then I'll be bad with you. I am that part of everything that you do, since I became a part of you, since I became a part of you. The old man and his guitar See the candle light burning in a cabin not so far from a river wild, that's friendly as a child, to an old man and his guitar. Spends each lonely night just wishing on some long forgotten star dreamin' dreams until only dreams seem real to an old man and his guitar. Rememberin' loves, rememberin' springs so many loves, so many springs but there was one he loved the best she made him soon forget the rest. His hands that once played only magic now where the sting of times crewel scars but all his songs aren't sung the best is yet to come for an old man and his guitar. The following song was dedicated to his daughter Debbie. It is a non-album track and the B-side of 'Rainbow woman' on the Reprise label (1967). I am, you are I am the sea, you are the wind that comes me when by storm. I am the land, you are the tree I've loved since it was born. I am the sky that holds the stars and love but only one. I am the sea, I am the land, the sky, I am the world. You are the wind, the tree, the star, you are my little girl. I am the sky that holds the stars and love's but only one. I am the sea, I am the land, the sky, I am the world. You are the wind, the tree, a star, you are my little girl. Another fine song now. A non-album track that was only issued in the US on the MCA label in 1979 and the B-side of 'Dolly Parton's guitar'. A taste of you There's pictures in my mind I've never seen before. There's emptiness I find my love and yes there's even more. There's loneliness that cuts me like a knife and I wish I had a taste of you tonight. This bottle in my hand is now apart of me. it cools the fire that burns and burns and clouds my memory. It makes the wrongs I've done to you seem right. But I still need a taste of you tonight. The pictures keep on changin' with ev'ry drink I drink they rearrange. Through the fog I see what I never could and I remember than once we had it good. There's pictures in my mind I've never seen before. There's emptiness I find my love and yes there's even more. There's loneliness that cuts me like a knife and I wish I had a taste of you tonight. I wish I had a taste of you tonight. His first ever recording now. It was first published in 1995 on the German Bear Family 3CD set 'Phoenix panorama, the Viv years'. Five more miles to Folsom Five more miles to Folsom. This train can't move too slow. Ninety-nine years at Folsom. Then they'll let me go. Shot a man in Dallas. He made a fool of me. Thought they never catched me. How wrong can one guy be. Five more miles to Folsom. This train can' t move too slow. Ninety-nine years at Folsom. Then they'll let me go. Let my love at the station. Cryin' in the rain. Broke her heart at the station. 'Cause I couldn't explain. Five more miles to Folsom. This train can' t move too slow. Ninety-nine years at Folsom. Then they'll let me go. Sit and stare out my window. At someone else's moon. And ask why was I born. Ninety-nine years too soon. The A or B side - whatever it is - of his second single issued in 1960. It's from the motion picture 'Why must I die?' but I never saw the movie and heard Lee singing in it. The girl on death row Her eyes were once so full of dreams. Her young heart filled with lover schemes. Now every second she must borrow. They take her life tomorrow. Is she guilty? She says no. The girl on death row. Now someone holds her trembling hand. Another who don't understand. Why can't they see it in her face? Another should be in her place. Is she guilty? She says no. The girl on death row. Her young dreams never will come true. Her innocence they never knew. Until they've found the guilty one. They're sorry for what they've done. But it's late, too late now For the girl on death row. A song of the album 'Love and other crimes' (1968), which is one the most favourite albums. Pour' man I'm just a pour' man with a heart full of love.. I'm just a pour' man with a heart full of love. I'm just a pour' man with a heart full of love. Just for you. Just for you. One year tomorrow since I cut Billy down. He was your lover and I cut Billy down. One year tomorrow since I cut Billy down. Cut him down. Cut him down. I miss the robins and the little songs they sing. After tomorrow I miss everything. I miss the robins and the little songs they sing. Songs they sing. I'm just a pour' man with a heart full of love.. I'm just a pour' man with a heart full of love. I'm just a pour' man with a heart full of love. Just for you. Just for you. If God is watching when I pay for my sin. Tell him I'm sorry but I'll do it again. If God is watching when I pay for my sin. For my sin. I'm just a pour' man with a heart full of love.. I'm just a pour' man with a heart full of love. I'm just a pour' man with a heart full of love. Just for you. Just for you. Buy me no roses when they lay me in the ground. Go tell my mother I cut my brother down. Go tell my mother I cut my brother down. Cut him down. I'm just a pour' man with a heart full of love. I'm just a pour' man with a heart full of love. I'm just a pour' man with a heart full of love. Just for you. Just for you.
