Contexto: Well you could have been lonely every night now,
Could have cried a whole lot more, been a little bit blue

You could have loved me as much as I love you.

Contexto: Well, I never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it
They don't abuse it, never gonna lose it
I can't refuse it.

And if I return, I'll never more be blue
It's not the leaving of all I love that makes me cry
But my darling, when I think of you.

Joy To The World (1971)
Contexto: When it all comes down
I hope it doesn't land on you
When the truth is found
I hope it will be true to you. All I'm sayin' is have a nice day
I hope it doesn't rain on your parade
An' when it all comes down
I hope it doesn't land on you.
“And when I first saw you I first loved you
With a song that I sang to the fire in your eyes”
"Lion In The Winter" on Southbound (1975) · Performance with Linda Ronstadt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya2dSRcqLBE
Contexto: And when I first saw you I first loved you
With a song that I sang to the fire in your eyes
But somebody told you that it wouldn't be easy
And you carried that lie for the devil to sing Some sail rivers deep and muddy some sail rivers clear and cold
But the river that I'm sailin' goes to sea
And sometimes I do grow weary sometimes I feel old
And sometimes I wonder if you think of me
Greenback Dollar (1963)
Contexto: When I was a little baby, my mama she said "Son.
Travel where you will and grow to be a man
And sing what must be sung, poor boy
Sing what must be sung."

Contexto: Jeremiah was a bull frog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine.
