I said way down home folks get down they go round and round and round and if the band starts getting crazy the whole place goes right along and you might be drunk and you might be lazy but you can't fight that song. CHORUS: Down Home Cookin So good to be down Home Cookin Feeling Free Wailin on ten with my friends again just like way back when and those slow talking ladies they're much alright those Debbies, Ludeanas, and Katies sure nuff light up the night. CHORUS We ran wild for so long down rodes and avenues now it's work and city life trying' to pay some dues But some times I just spinning' my wheels and I'm thinking' how good it feels CHORUS

CHORUS Goin down to Cairo. Goodbye and a goodbye. Goin down to Cairo. Goodbye Lisa Jane Black them boots and make 'em shine Goodbye and a Goodbye Black them boots and make em shine Goodbye Lisa Jane. CHORUS She was down in Cairo town I was at the levee Hooked my foot on a hollow stump and out jumped Lisa Jane CHORUS Oh, how I love her, it's a scandal and a shame Oh, how I love her, goodbye Lisa Jane CHORUS I ain't got time to kiss you now Goodbye and a goodbye I ain't got time to kiss you now And it's goodbye Lisas Jane. CHORUS Took a steamboat back to Rosiclaire Goodbye and a goodbye Track to my friends and family And it's goodbye Lisa Jane.

Dog & Cat 03:08
Early in the morning as the day is dawning Dog's on the floor by the bed and that cat is purring in my ear, saying kitty needs to be fed Chorus: Dog & cat & cat & dog & cat & dog & cat and dog & cat & dog & cat Dog & cat & cat & dog & cat & dog & cat & dog Later in the evening me & the wife are sleeping cat's scratching on the side of the bed and we gotta be careful when we go to pee not to step on the old dog's head Chorus friends and neighbors let's give praise & glory to that good ole dog & cat when they stretch and lay their paws upon you hallelujah, you sure been blessed chorus (Dan Marsh, who wrote this tune, has very kindly allowed me do take a very few tiny liberties with lyrics)

Back to the Valley You moved up to the city gonna find some work you gambled all your money and you lost your shirt you're looking high and low all day there ain't no work. Boy, head CHORUS: Back to the valley where the thick woods grow Head on back where the Ohio flows Back to the valley where skies got room head on back to where the rosebuds bloom A cottage on the river gonna feel just right The crickets all be jamming' while the moon shines bright You know you're home at last when Mr. Catfish bites Yeah, head CHORUS Maybe life in the city kinda cramps your style Then, brother, pack your bags and walk a country mile When you make it to the front porch won't you sit a while Yeah, c'mon CHORUS

It was on beyond the fields I knew Thick meadows and tall oaks grew beneath a gold sun that cast its light and made way then for summer night Chorus: Over yonder and round the bend I once went there I can't say when Some bright morning I'ma go again Over yonder and round the bend Beneath a Pale moon folks danced till dawn They sang and laughed and carried on And met the new day with a smiling face And loved each other in that far place Chorus All the people there, they worked together to build their land and lift each other Everyone was free, free at last good with the future, good with the past Chorus You can say it was all a dream or just some trickster's lowdown scheme But I do know what I know And I know where I wanna go (and that's) Chorus
7.
Over & Again Sometimes--I don't know why-- But it's like I could fly off to space or someplace shining and high You my love give true love we know love has healed us love has sealed us--forever one CHORUS: Over & over & again You prove love is true Over & Over & Again I give my love to you Sometimes you can't say who it is we might be That's all right, My Delight, Let's try and see Your sweet kiss, nights like this Who would believe? It goes to show you don't know What you might receive CHORUS

Funny How It All Goes On Ain't it funny how it all goes on Funny How It all goes on People sleeping in houses all night long I'm getting up with the crack of the dawn And the people that I meet on the street turn me on Ain't it funny how it all goes on Ain't it funny how it all goes on Funny How It all goes on Politicians and prophets, promised lands The Stars and bars and last stands Folks stuck at the office too much time on their hands Ain't it funny how it all goes on Some folks wish they could fly over the rainbow touch the moon and the stars Me, I eat my Milky Way candy bar, count all the stars on the wrapper, think about where I'd like to be. Ain't it funny how it all goes on Funny How It all goes on Children build stand castles on the beach The castles fall beneath the high tide's reach And I play on the corner, my songs a dollar each Ain't it funny how it all goes on Funny how it all goes on Funny how it all goes on

That's Just How I Am Back in Chicago people would know Soon as I opened my mouth I come from down south, not up around there Sometimes someone would stare Scuse me, sir or ma'am, I'd say But that's just how I am Ole mom and ole dad said it was bad I didn't do like they'd say Boy, you blast tunes all day They'd cry, God on high, Act like a natural guy Scuse me sir and ma'am, I say But that's just how I am It has been said I'm a strange so and so Might get crazy, you don't never know Guess that's true, sometimes I get in a jam I do like I do, that's just how I am I won't set my clock or turn on the AC Some folks wonder what is wrong with me That's ok--like this ole boy gives a damn Man, say what you may, that's just how I am Some folks here and there they give me the sneer and hit me with some lame crack Times when they attack, man they dish it out and I push back, ain't no doubt Scuse me, folks, but man, ain't no lie That's just how I am That's just how am It ain't no scam Look here now, That's just how I am

Ohio River 03:30
Ohio River Like some tan swan on you glide A long bright train south you ride CHORUS: Ohio River, so wide and slow You flow through my dreams wherever I go Under a pale moon or skies of blue I come to your shoreline to speak with you CHORUS With friends and family I used to gather on your shore Then one day I rambled Now I see you no more CHORUS

about

Kent McDaniel Chicago, Illinois

First band Kent ever saw was Salty Gamblin & The Mudcat Band. Spring Fest, his 5th grade year. They walked out, plugged in, looked at everybody. Had electric guitar, bass, & drums--& Salty on acoustic & vocals. Bam, they tore into "I Saw The Light." Chills shot up & down Kent's body.
He saved up & got a Gibson Melody Maker. Played & sang ever since. Never means to stop.
