The Byrds Long Live The King written by David Crosby The first thing that they tell you about is that you will be king A priest at least they tell you and then that everything will be alright at last You will finally be cast into your rightful throne They got it all down cold Next thing that they tell you is not to be afraid You think you're better than the others somewhat fine and brave They lead astray you could be up there all alone A star they say a million miles away from home An empty space is that the place you wanted The last thing that they tell you about they ask you will it hurt They said sell what you can boy get out while the getting's good And they whisper in the evening all around town Oh humpty dumpty the king is falling down Copyright @ 1973 Staysail Music(BMI) From the "The Byrds" LP Asylum Records 1973 The Byrds Sweet Mary written by McGuinn/Levy Sweet Mary I've got to be leaving Oh I can't let you into my life Cause I know it would end in grieving and the last thing I need is a wife When I met I met you for pleasure And the good times of running around Then you seemed to be so understanding >From the weight that's been draggin me down The good times are coming between us Though you helped me I'm carrying my load And I've never felt more like a lover but I'm running right off the road Sweet Mary I've got to be leaving Oh I can't let you into my life Cause I know it would end in grieving and the last thing I need is a wife Oh it's nothing you said or invited And it's nothing you did that was wrong Our love together was heaven but I promised myself to be strong Sweet Mary I've got to be leaving Oh I can't let you into my life Cause I know it would end in grieving and the last thing I need is a wife Copyright @ 1973 Patian/Blackwood Music(BMI) From the "The Byrds" LP Asylum Records 1973 The Byrds Cowgirl In The Sand written by Neil Young Hello cowgirl in the sand is this place at your command Can I stay here for awhile can I see your sweet sweet smile Old enough now to change your name When so many love you is it the same It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game Hello ruby in the dust has your band began to rust After all the sin we've had I was hoping that we'd turn back ^? Old enough now to change your name When so many love you is it the same It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game Hello woman of my dreams is this not the way it seems Purple words on a gray back ground To be a woman and to be turned down Old enough now to change your name When so many love you is it the same It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game Copyright @ 1969 Cotillion Music Inc. & Broken Arrow Music Inc.
