Can you tell me what you see in him
He looks just like all of the others did
D Bm D G walk down the D to the Bm
And can you tell me if it will ever end
Can you tell me or do you know

I could tell you what I saw in you
And I could tell you why I still see it too
And I could tell you if you would just let me through
I could tell you because I know

Chorus:
I loved you yesterday
And I love you just the same
And none of the things you do
Could tear us apart
I loved you yesterday
And I love you just the same
When I gave myself to you
You took only my heart

Can you tell me what he says to you
Does he tell you the same things I used to
But can he tell you the way you want him to
Can you tell me or do you know

Chorus

Chorus 2:
Yo te quise ayer
Y yo te quiero the same
And none of things you do
Could tear us apart
Yo te quise ayer
Y yo te quiero the same
When I gave myself to you
You took only my heart

She hates my mama, she hates my daddy too.
She loves to tell me, she hates the things I do.
She loves to lie beside me, almost every night.
She’s no lady, she’s my wife.

Verse 2:
The preacher asked her, and she said, “I do.”
The preacher asked me, she says, ?Yes, He does too!”
The preacher says, “I pronounce you ninety nine to life!
Son, she’s no lady she’s your wife!”

Bridge:
I can’t remember how I met her,
Seems, she’s always been hangin’ here off my right arm,
I can’t remember how I ever,
Thought that I just couldn’t live without a woman’s charm.

Verse 3:
Now, even though she loves the smell of French perfume,
And even though she walks around in high-heeled shoes,
All I know is I’m the one that pays her price,
Man, she’s no lady, she’s my wife.

I can’t remember how I met her,
Seems, she’s always been hangin’ here off my right arm,
I can’t remember how I ever,
thought that I just couldn’t live without a woman’s charm.

Now she she hates my mama, she hates my daddy too.
She loves to tell me, how much she hates the things I do.
She loves to lie beside me, almost every night.

Walk Throught the Bottomland – Lyle Lovett

A New Jersey lady I knew long ago
And she was a lady I say
But she met a cowboy who rode on a rodeo
And he stole her heart straight away

The New Jersey lady she loved him so true
Another love she never had
But cowboys are lonesome and cowboys are blue
And they make the ladies so sad

Chorus: Sing me a melody
Sing me a blues
Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
The Brazos she’s running scared
She heard the news
Walk through the bottomland without no shoes

The New Jersey lady knew he loved her too
And you know she tried to hold on
But the rodeo life was the life that he knew
He had to keep drifting along

She never married and she never would
And all of the people they’d say
The New Jersey lady she just ain’t no good
To follow a cowboy that way

Chorus

The lady she’d sing him to sleep in the night
And in the morning he’d go
She loved the darkness and hated the light
Along with that damn rodeo

The New Jersey lady the day that he died
She covered him over with clay
And feeling the wind in the night as she cried
She heard the old cowboy say

Chorus

This is from memory, so I hope I haven’t butchered this one too badly,
particularly the lyrics….As with everything I post this is transposed
into a key I can sing it in, you’ll have to change it to do it in the
same key as the recording.

It’s a simple song for simple feelings
You see the moon and you watch it rise
Across the continent a night bird sings
And someone somewhere hears its cry

Disillusioned, keep your head down
’Cause if you do they’ll never know
You’ll have no answers to their questions
And they will have to let you go

Disenfranchised revolution
Take away by right what’s yours
They make you martyrs of your own cause
But they don’t know what cause its for

All deserted stand alerted
They’ll love you when you’re all alone
You find a red rose in the morning light
But wait the night and find it gone

So hear my words with faith and passion
For what I say to you is true
When you find the one you might become
Remember part of me is you
