Male:
Some velvet morning when I'm straight.
I'm gonna open up your gate.
And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra
and how she gave me life
and how she made it in.
Some velvet morning when I'm straight.
Female:
Flowers growing on the hill.
Dragonflies and daffodils.
Learn from us very much.
Look at us but do not touch.
Phaedra is my name.

It hurts to be told when you're not very old
That you're an outlaw's son
And the older you get they won't let you forget
That you're the son of a gun a bad bad gun you son of a gun
And then you'll meet someone so sweet and she says her heart you've won
But her old dad get's awfuly mad
She'll marry no son of a gun a bad bad gun the son of a gun
One day her dad must face a bad a bad outlaw with a gun
You're quick on the draw and you saved her pa
You no good son of a gun a bad bad gun you son of a gun
Now everyone who is someone smiles at the outlaw's son
You're one of the crowd her dad's so proud
She'll marry the son of a gun a bad bad gun the son of a gun
She'll marry the son of a gun
Except for the dream in our mothers' eyes
you and I would still ride the wind
a pair of seeds that no one needs
east of all souls island
this land, souls island,
this land, souls island,
will always be the heart of you and me
souls island
Except for the gleam in our fathers' eyes
you and I would have never been
we'd never lay in this purple shade
never known souls island
this land, souls island,
this land, souls island,
will always be the heart of you and me
souls island
Except for the beam from some god's mind
you and I would have never seen
the diamond morn' where peace was born
on a place we named souls island
this land, souls island,
this land, souls island,
will always be the heart of you and me
souls island
This land, this souls island,
this land, this souls island,
will always be the heart of you and me
souls island
We woke up this morning
in a Tulsa calaboose
They fed us brown beans for breakfast
and then they had to turn us loose
I didn’t like that old sheriff
and I wish I had told him so
what he don’t know won’t hurt me
so come on buddy let’s go
let’s go to Suddenly Suddenly
Suddenly Suddenly Suddenly Suddenly
Suddenly Suddenly Suddenly, Tennessee
Three nights ago in Phoenix
a lady bit off your thumb
but I really shouldn’t call her no a lady
cause she took the damn thing and run
Then some old boy from Tucson
threw the jukebox straight at me
and I’m really sorry it landed
on the spot where your thumb used to be
It’ll heal in Suddenly Suddenly
Suddenly Suddenly Suddenly Suddenly
Suddenly Suddenly Suddenly, Tennessee
I tell you something old beauty
you look a terrible mess
It’s time you took off your blue jeans
and got yourself in a dress
and wash and comb that blond hair
and jumped off this train with me
'cause we're just five minutes from talking
to the folks in Suddenly
talking about Suddenly Suddenly
Suddenly Suddenly Suddenly Suddenly
Suddenly Suddenly Suddenly, Tennessee
I got some troubles but they won't last
I'm going to lay right down here in the grass
Pretty soon all my troubles will pass
Cause I'm in su-su-su, su-su-su,
su-su-su-su-su-su- sugar town
I never had a dog that liked me some
Never had a friend who wanted one
So I just lay back and laugh at the sun
Cause I'm in su-su-su, su-su-su,
su-su-su-su-su-su-sugar town
Yesterday it rained in Tennessee
I heard it also rained in Tallahassee
But not a drop fell on little 'ole me
Cause I'm in su-su-su, su-su-su,
su-su-su-su-su-su-sugar town
If I had a million dollars or ten
I'd give it to you world and then
You'd go away and let me spend my life in
su-su-su, su-su-su,
su-su-su-su-su-su-sugar town
La, la, la, la,........................
