"Rock me Baby (Part II)/California"


Part II - "California"

Intro: Rock, Rock me Baby

Verse 1
I woke up next morning in Big Sur
The sun burned into my face
My Baby said there are guys on the road
They´re challenging us for a race

And after that we could head for Hollywood,
Where we could look for the ultimate star
It´s where all dreams come true and all you have to do
Is drive in a big fancy car

Refrain
She said “Baby this is California
I need the sun and the wind in my hair
I wonna lie around with the Hollywood sound
And spend my time without any care

Verse 2
But I wanted to stay in Big Sur
My Baby said “I don´t know what ya mean”
I want to hike in the hills enjoy the idyllic scene
And find the Homestead of Alan Jardine

I´d love to make my way to Monterrey
Where the coast is convered with pines
Then at Sand City I´d love to make a turn
To follow old Road 69

Refrain
Because Baby this is California
Where live is easy and the people are free
Visit Country Joe when he´s doin a show
Where he sings about liberty

Baby said, No this is California,
where the Summer is endless and true
Let me lie down in the sand, on a beautiful strand
With a guy who knows what to do

Bridge
I know my mama use to say I should take it slow,

But you don´t rock me baby, so our love can not grow


Fine
So my baby waved to a surfer boy,
asked him if he could give her a ride
I stayed all alone far away from my home
Where I broke down and cried

And I could hear them singing:


Outro:/Rock me baby (reprise)

Rock me baby and my love will grow

(Come back, take me back)

Rock me baby and my love will grow

(Come back, please take me back, you broke my heart into)

"The Ballad of Botany Bay"

“Ballad of Botany Bay”   My father a hard working sailor he was the seven seas he´d travelled across Once an Armada got in his way he came out as the only survivor that day Shipwrecked on an little island but then He got resuced by some English men But on their ship they took him away To a far away prison in Botany bay In botany bay he went on shore they threw  him behind the  prison door Starving and tired,  never did he complain About the hard labour, torture and pain I heard he escaped on a self-built boat “Give me freedom or death” he left as a note But they caught up on him and forced him to stay at this far away prison in Botany bay   He was sent to Norfolk island one day Locked up with murderers, could not get away He heard  the savage  shouting for war While they were crossing the nearest shore He cried out his sorrow “What have I done?” “How could I have left my beloved one(s) And prayed to God to bring him away From this far away prison in Botany ba

"First American Band"

"First American Band" First American Band God only knows how many tunes I´ve listened to in my room Songs of endless summer And the Surfer Moon Made me cuddle up with a surfer girl In the Californian sand I caught a wave while I fell in love to The rhythm of a steel drum band  Chorus: The First American Band From Southern California A Cousin and a Friend Along with three brothers They made their Mamas cry With every single song Their story isn´t over As long as their music plays on  Verse: Caroline my little girl Oh, where did your long hair go? You are no longer the sweet thing That I used to know I will pick you up in my 4-0-9 We’ll cruise the hamburger stands Because, everything is just fine When they play “Do you wanna dance”  Chorus: The First American Band From Southern California A Cousin and a Friend Along with three brothers They made their Mamas cry With every single song Their story isn´t over As long as their music plays on (B

"Hide & Seek"

Hide & Seek   Girl tonight in this light you look like an angel to have you sculpted by the wind would take a million years   Would you like to dance tight I smell your perfume If we come close like face to face I´ll whisper through your tears   Chorus: You are the drum that makes my heart beat with passion You are the strings in every music session You are the words when I forget how to speak Since we played hide & seek You are the hands to pick the right chords for me In every Song the sweetest melody You show me ways when my writing gets weak Since we played hide & seek   Verse Love´s to share Not to declare Just lie down beside me Give me a chance, to watch you sleep Until the break of dawn   Growing old Stories told Our hearts are still beating Together we play hide & Seek Until all days are done Chorus (repeat) Bridge So If we turn 100, playing games hurts from our head to our toes Just make sure you´ll be, t
