BAD MOON RISING (John Fogerty)
I see a bad moon rising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
I see bad times today

Refrain
Don't go 'round tonight
For it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

I hear hurricanes a blowin'
I know the end is comin' soon
I fear rivers over flowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin
Refrain

Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye

DOWN ON THE CORNER (John Fogerty)
Early in the evenin', just about supper time
Over by the courthouse, they're starting to unwind
Four kids on the corner, trying to bring you up
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp

{Refrain}
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poorboys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile
Blinky thumps the gutbass and solos for a while
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo
And Willy goes into a dance, doubles on kazoo
{Refrain twice}

You don't need a penny just to hang around
But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down
Over on the corner there's a happy noise
People come from all around to watch the magic boys

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE RAIN (John Fogerty)
Someone told me long ago, there's a calm before the storm
I know, it's been comin' for some time
When it's over, so they say, it'll rain a sunny day
I know, shinin' down like water

{Refrain}
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down a sunny day

Yesterday, and days before, sun is cold and rain is hard
I know, been that way for all my time
'Til forever on it goes through the circle fast and slow
I know, it can't stop, I wonder

LODI (John Fogerty)
Just about a year ago I set out on the road
Seeking my fame and fortune, looking for a pot o' gold
Things got bad and things got worse
I guess you will know the tune
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again

I rode in on the Greyhound, I'll be walking if I go
I was just passing throuh, must be seven months or more
Ran out of time and money, oh looks like they took my friends
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again

Well the man from the magazine said I was on my way
Somewhere I lost connections and I ran out of songs to play
I came  into  town a one-night stand
Looks like my plans fell through
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again

If I only had a dollar for every song I've sung
And every time I had to play
People sat there drunk
You know, I'd catch the next train back to where I live
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again

LOOKING OUT MY BACK DOOR (John Fogerty)
Just got home from Illinois
Lock the front door, oh boy
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm singing
Doo doo doo lookin' out my back door

There's giants doing cartwheels
Statues wearing high-heels
Look at all the happy creatures dancin' on the lawn
Dinosaurs patroling listening to Buck Owens
Doo doo doo lookin' out my back door

Tamarins and elephants all playing in a band
Won't you take a ride on a flying spoon
Wondrous apparitions invited by magicians
Doo doo doo lookin' out my back door

Tamarins and elephants all playing in a band
Won't you take a ride on a flying spoon
Bother me tomorrow today I'll find no sorrow
Doo doo doo lookin' out my back door

All the trouble in Illinois
Lock the front door, oh boy
Look at all the happy creatures dancin' on the lawn
Bother me tomorrow today I'll find no sorrow
Doo doo doo lookin' out my back door

PROUD MARY (John Fogerty)
Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
And I've never lost one minute of sleeping
Worried 'bout the way things might have been

Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
Burnin', burnin',
Burning on the river

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of paint in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat Queen

If you come down to the river
Bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry if you have no money
People on the river are happy to give

TRAVELLIN'BAND (John Fogerty)
737 coming out of the sky
Oh won't you take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride
I want to move

{Refrain}
I want to move
Playing in a travelling band, yeah
Well I'm flying 'cross the land
Trying to get a hand
Playing in a travelling band

Take me to the hotel, baggage gone, oh well
Come on come on won't you get me to my room
{Refrain}

Listen to the radio talking about the last show
Someone got excited, had to call the state militia
{Refrain}

Here we come again on a Saturday night
Oh with your fussing and your fighting
Won't you get me to the right
{Refrain}

Oh I'm playing in a travelling band
Playing in a travelling band
Won't you get me to my hand
Well I'm playing in a travelling band
Well I'm flying across the land
Trying to get a hand
Playing in a travelling band, whoah

UP AROUND THE BEND (John Fogerty)
There's a place up ahead and I'm goin'
Just as fast as my feet can fly
Come away, aome away if you're goin'
Leave the sinkin' ship behind

Come on the risin' wind
We're goin' up around the bend

Bring a song and a smile for then banjo
Better get while the gettin' is good
Hitch a ride to the end of the higheay
Where the neons turn to wood

You can ponder perpetual motion
Fix your mind on a crystal day
Always time for good conversation
There's an ear for what you say

Catch a ride to the end of the highway
And we'll meet by the big red tree
Ther's a place up ahead an' I'm goin'
Come along, come along with me

WHO'LL STOP THE RAIN (John Fogerty)
Long as I remember the rain been comin' down
Clouds of myst'ry pourin' confusion on the ground
Good men through the ages tryin' to find the sun
And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain

I went down Virginia seekin' shelter from the storm
Caught up in the fable I watched the tower grow
Five year plans and new deals wrapped in golden chains
And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain

Heard the singers playin', how we cheered for more
The crowd had rushed together tryin' to keep warm
Still the rain kept pourin', fallin' on my ears
And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain
