Black Rose Voodoo © 2022 W. Dire Wolff
Black Rose calling, “Voodoo!”
Captain Morgan in the shack
Cast that starboard anchor
Calcutta, Cajun, alley cat
Black Rose sister Voodoo
It’s best that you don’t know
Once you had that Voodoo
You can never let her go.
I didn’t go to look for trouble
But it ain’t so hard to find
Cuz’ I don’t want no trouble
If I cannot pay the fine.
Black Rose sister trouble
Waiting in the back
Candle burning double
On the shadow of a cat.
Black Rose calling Voodoo
Morgan sailed for port
Rasta burning reefer
In a long decaying fort.
Black Rose sister trouble
Waiting in the back
Candle burning double
On the shadow of a cat.
Bridge:
Crazy pictures haunt me
Black Rose on the ground
That woman done gone and caught me
Now why ain’t she around?
Black Rose calling, “Voodoo!”
Captain Morgan in the shack
Black Rose sister Voodoo
It’s best that you don’t know
Once you had that Voodoo
You can never let her go.

SUMMER NIGHTS - copyright 2022
Sometimes you don’t pick your friends
Life turns around
And then you’re in
Neither moon nor black of night
Yellow gray
Through shades of light
Is it time or distance or the world that divides?
Is it pain or forgiveness?
The night seems so endless without you.
Summer dreams will be upon us
Blow a kiss and I’ll be there
As the stars shines down upon us
Remember me I’m waiting here
Watching waves beneath the moon
The trees will sway
Crashing waves beat the sand
We laugh, we gaze
But, we’ll be in different lands.
Is it love or a muse?
Starry sky turns to blue
Simple things so confused
Walk alone, but live as two
Watching waves beneath the moon
The trees will sway
Crashing waves beat the sand
We laugh, we gaze
But, we’ll be in different lands.

Took my Baby down to the bay,
Jumped in the water and swam away,
Down in Davey Jones locker,
Like a cast away,
Don't take my Woman from me.
I got a woman who will steal your soul,
Steal the map and take the gold,
I'll stay with her until I grow old,
Walk the plank, though the ocean is cold,
Don't take my Woman from me.
Early in the morning,
By sunken sailor rock,
Barking of the seals,
Flapping of the flock,
Looking for coffee down by the dock,
Don't take my Woman from me.
My woman is cold as arctic ice,
Everyone says she is so damn nice,
You know she is my paradise,
Don't take that Woman from me.

Place at my Table © 2021 W. Dire Wolff
I’ll make a place at my table
If you’ll just come home to me
I don’t think it will happen
It was never meant to be.
And the mountain is high
The valley is wide
And you gaze at another sea
But, I’ll make a place at my table
If you’ll just come home to me.
I might have to buy a sofa
Because I don’t even own a couch
Perhaps I’ll buy a loveseat
From some money in my pouch.
And the sofa is fine
The ottoman is yours
Just any place you want to be
And, I’ll make a place at my table
If you’ll just come home to me.
I don’t have a little cottage
Let alone a house
We’re not allowed to travel
And you are living way down south.
Because the mountain is high
The valley is wide
And you gaze at another sea
But, I’ll make a place at my table

Jenny and Brad © 2022 W. Dire Wolff
This is the story of Jenny and Brad
They had a soccer mom and a hardworking dad
Tried to do it right but just went bad
At least some folks tell it that way.
Folks so busy, it was like they lived alone
With post-it notes and tracker phones
They started off to study
But minds were left to roam
At least some folks tell it that way.
Refrain:
Mommy wants the money
Daddy makes the cash
Brad sends in Jenny to score some stash
Jenny lays it out and cuts it up fast
Mommy’s at the health club
Daddy’s making cash.
Counting out the numbers,
Spelling out the words
Mapping out the plant life,
Watching all the birds
Radio played a song they never heard
At least some folks tell it that way.
Headed to the corner
Just to buy a drink
Take a little stroll
Have some time to think
Jenny needed money so she went inside a bank
At least some folks tell it that way.
Jenny got her card out
Gave a little wink
Brad blows his latte
Before he takes a drink
A truck rolls up with a sign that says, “Brinks”
At least some folks tell it that way.

Old Man on the Mountain © 2022 W. Dire Wolff
I’m going to tell you a story
I don’t really know how it goes
Just that same old story
About how people get bought and sold.
Talking about an old man
Talking about an old man on the mountain
He just had a burro
And a gunny sack of gold.
He came down from that mountain
He came down to the town
He brought that gold with him
To see what was going down
He went down to that valley
He went down to that town
He went down to the merchant
He went down to the man
He went down to the man
He said, “I got some gold for you.”
They said, “We’ll do the best we can.”
They took a little money
They took a little gold
They took a little body
They took a little soul.
The old Man came down from the mountain
He wanted to find what folks was all about
What they was all about
He’d been up there on the mountain
Some thought he was checking out
He gave them all his money
He gave them all his gold
TThey didn’t settle for his body
They didn’t settle for his soul
He gave them all his money
He gave them all his gold
TThey didn’t settle for his body
They didn’t settle for his soul
Talking about an old Man on the mountain

Locked Up Lollipop © 2022 W. Dire Wolff
Seven little dice running around my head
Put it on ice, all seven are dead
Locked up lollipop that tasted like wine
Worked on the eight, only a dime
Hopscotch lollipop ready to run
Travel by night, hide from the sun.
The door finally opened
Only she could pass by
Down from the temple
The phoenix did come
No tomorrow, for that bird to fly…
Back in the traffic
Always late for work
Flipping off the driver
Just another jerk.
Hopscotch lollipop keeps on passing by
Load it in the corner, give another try
Seven little dice running around my head
Put it on ice, seven are dead
The door finally opened
Only she could pass by
Down from the temple
The phoenix did come
No tomorrow, for that bird to fly…
Bridge:
No, my sister, these aren’t love songs
Seven seals broken, too late to die
Seven were sent to pasture
Seven stallions now shall fly.
Locked up lollipop that tasted like wine
Worked on the eight, only a dime
Hopscotch lollipop ready to run
Travel by night, hide from the sun.
The door finally opened
Only she could pass by
Down from the temple
The phoenix did come
No tomorrow, for that bird to fly…

Did We Break Up? © 2022 W. Dire Wolff
Did We Break Up?
Or am I waiting here for you?
Should I shut up?
Or do you want some kind of apology?
Should I break out the razor?
Or leave it for Sunday theology?
Can I do you a flavor?
Or has your soul gone cold to me?
And I don’t know how to begin
And I don’t know how it could end
It will all seem better
If we can just get around the bend.
I thought about love
And all the things you said to me
I tried to do right
But it was a little too late for me.
Break
Did We Break Up?
Or am I waiting here for you?
Should I shut up?
Or do you want some kind of apology?
Should I break out the razor?
Or leave it for Sunday theology?
Can I do you a flavor?
Or has your soul gone cold to me?
And I don’t know how to begin
And I don’t know how it could end
It will all seem better
If we can just get around the bend.

Where you going to Be? © 2022 W. Dire Wolff
Where you going to be when the sun goes down?
And nobody is there to lay you down?
And nobody seems to find out when you’re leaving.
What you going to do by the riverside?
You got no life from which to hide, your sorrow
When you’re feeling all that pain
Winter nights are filled with sadness
Madness lurks beneath the pain.
Please don’t come home again tomorrow
I can’t take the sadness or the pain
Where you go, I cannot follow
Though I wanted to, all the same
“Liberty is waiting,”
That’s what you told me by the door
Freedom is calling
Though I can’t hear it anymore.
Where you going to be when the sun goes down?
And nobody is there to lay you down?
