Creedence Clearwater Revival Lyrics
(CCR)
Fortunate Son
Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
ooh, they're red, white and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief",
oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no senetor's son
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fotunate one, no
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord don't they themselves, oh
But when the taxman come to the door,
Lord, the hoise look like a rummage sale, yes,
It ain't me, it ain't me
it ain't no millianaire's son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no
Yeh, some folks inherit star spangled eyes
ooh they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask them how much should we give
oh they answer more, more, more, yoh
It ain't me, it ain't me
no I ain't no military son
it ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no, no, no,
It ain't me it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate son, no no no
-John C, Fogerty
Bad Moon Rising
I see the bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin'.
I see bad times today.
Chorus:
Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.
I hear hurricanes ablowing.
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.
Chorus:
All right!!
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.
Chorus:
Chorus.
Run Through The Jungle
Whoa, thought it was a nightmare,
Lo, it's all so true,
They told me, "Don't go walkin' slow
'Cause Devil's on the loose."
Chorus:
Better run through the jungle,
Better run through the jungle,
Better run through the jungle,
Woa, Don't look back to see.
Thought I heard a rumblin'
Callin' to my name,
Two hundred million guns are loaded
Satan cries, "Take aim!"
Chorus
Over on the mountain
Thunder magic spoke,
"Let the people know my wisdome,
Fill the land with smoke."
Chorus
Lookin' Out My Backdoor
Just got home from Illinios, lock the front door, oh boy!
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch.
Imagination sets in, pretty soom I'm singin'
Chorus:
Doo, doo, doo, Lookin' out my backdoor.
There's a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin' high heels.
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
A dinosaur Victrola list'ning to Buck Owens.
Chorus
Tamburines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flying spoon?
Doo, doo, doo.
Wond'rous apparition provided by magician
Chorus
Tamburines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won't take aride on teh magice spoon?
Doo, doo, doo
Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows.
Chorus
Forward troubles Illinios, lock the front door, oh boy!
Look at all teh happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
Bother me tomorrow, today I'll buy no sorrows.
Chorus
Green River
Well, take me back down where cool water flows, yeah.
Let me remeber things that I love,
Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite,
Walkin' along teh river road at night,
Brefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight.
I can hear the bullfrog callin' me.
Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree.
Love to kick my feet 'way down the shallow water.
Shoefly, dragonfly, get back t'your mother.
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River.
Welllll!
Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, oh,
With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers
Old Cody, Junior took me over,
Said, "You're gonna find the world is smould'rin'.
And if you get lost come on home to Green River."
Wellllll!
Come on home.
I Put A Spell On You
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine.
You better stop
The things you don'.
I said, "Watch out!
I ain't lyin', yeah!
I ain't gonna take none of your
Foolin' around;
I ain't gonna take none of your
Puttin' me down;
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine.
All right!!
