Sweet Songs of Chuck Aaron

It's all Over

It's all Over (original)

Soldier Boy 
music & lyrics by Terry Clemmett
just  a litle home recording

Officer arrest that man you got to take him down 
Messed up on alcohol crack cocaine & brown 
He’s been running like a happy sad clown
He went to high then he crashed back down
On the crazy town
Officer take him down
Officer take him down

Officer arrest that man and take him to your station
Hes been stealing from the pockets of the nation
I know it’s a strange occupation
He stands there guilty of his own creation, take him down
Gagged and bound like a hell-bound hound
Like a hell-bound hound

Tel me how long, how long must this go on

Chorus

I’ll be your vampire slayer
I’ll be your football player
I’ll be your bonny Prince Charlie
Stand up salute Bob Marley
I’ll be your Neo in The Matrix
Play guitar with Jimi Jimi Hendrix
You can be my Helen Of Troy
I’ll be your soldier boy
Oo oo oo oo oo
Soldier Boy
Your soldier boy
Oo oo oo oo oo
Soldier Boy
Your soldier boy
Oo oo oo oo oo
Soldier Boy

verse 2

Bring up the defendant
Nobody needs to rise
Oh I can see he got
The Devil in his eyes
All them stories and
Them sweet alibis
I say to you it’s a pack of lies
Now take him down
Gagged and bound
Like a hell-bound hound
Like a hell-bound hound
But tell me how long
Must this go on

middle 8

I stole a lonely diamond
Wasn’t enough to keep me warm
A thousand gold and silver coins
Oh how they shine amongst the stars**

chorus

I’ll be your vampire slayer
I’ll be your football player
I’ll be your bonny Prince Charlie
Stand up and salute Bob Marley
I’ll be your Neo in The Matrix
Play guitar with Jimi Jimi Hendrix
You can be my Helen Of Troy
I’ll be your soldier boy
Oo oo oo oo oo
Soldier Boy
Your soldier boy
Oo oo oo oo oo
Soldier Boy
Your soldier boy

Soldier Boy 1

Who'll Stop The Rain (Cover by Tony)

Original Blues 2015 collaboration with Bob Warner

The Best of Him is Gone (Lyrics Tony & Bob - Featuring Bob Warner) Original

Refers to West Virginia Coal Mining Wars of 1920-21...largest civil insurrection in US since the Civil War. FYI historical references: A scab is a strikebreaker. Baldwin-Felts was a private agency hired by mine owners to suppress union activity. They operated above the law and were feared and hated by miners. A "holler" (hollow) is a small secluded valley. Sid Hatfield was an outspoken proponent of miner's rights. His murder by Baldwin-Felts men sparked over 10,000 armed miners to lay siege to non-union coal fields in Mingo County WV. A tipple is a large structure for loading coal into freight cars. Matewan is a town in Mingo County that was a center of labor violence. 

Mingo 1920

Something about Autumn-the crisp cooling weather-skies seems clearer--shedding leaves just before the cold winter--the crops have all been harvested-- for me, it seems a little  slower and more  peaceful--natural process of nature and life--my mind feel more at ease--my body feels more relax--my favorite time of year

Fall (Favorite Time Of Year)

A lot of challenges throughout your life and growing old.  A lot of good thing to look forward to, don't forget that!!

No Good Growing Old?

Written way back by Claude Putman Jr and made popular by Bobby Bare and Porter Wagoner in 1965 .  Some many artist have recorded it, including Elvis Presley and Tom Jones.  An old country standard that I really like and decided to do a few verses.

Green Grass Of Home

Bank Roll

One of the greats by Bob Dylan in 1962.   This song has been covered by Elvis, Eric Clapton, Waylon , Willie and Merle, John Mayer, Ed Sheenan ,Peter Paul and Mary,  and the list goes on.   Wow- this song has been with me a long time.  I can't do it justice but this is a simple version that I enjoy playing.

Don't Think Twice

A mystery that I do not understand - but cannot deny exists

The Glory

Known as Mr Smooth, Jerry Wallace was nominated for male vocalist and song of the year in 1972 for How Times Flies.  Other songs include Shutters and Boards, Primrose Lane,Do You Know What It's Like to Be Lonely.  He was a Navy veteran and died in 2008. I had an old album I used to play all the time.  This was from that album . I changed the tempo somewhat.  I always loved the lyrics.

Time

Link follows with all background on this Gem, first written and performed by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails). Most poignantly later delivered by the great Johnny Cash (RIP), and included in a mesmerizing video featuring this cut from his highly acclaimed 2002 album - 'American IV, The Man Comes Around'. http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=2727
This one was recorded in my own AcoustaTronic style long ago. Recently resurrected the files and ReMiXed. These haunting, memorable lyrics speak just as meaningfully to The Opioid and Heroin Crisis today, as when Reznor first penned the Original. Hoping tragic losses and addictions affecting so many continue receiving all needed support, attention, and coordination in working toward the elimination of this mind-boggling situation. Lyrics follow:
Hurt
Reznor (Cash)
I hurt myself today 
To see if I still feel 
I focus on the pain 
The only thing that's real 
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting 
Try to kill it all away 
But I remember everything
What have I become 
My sweetest friend 
Everyone I know goes away 
In the end 
And you could have it all 
My empire of dirt 
I will let you down 
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns 
Upon my liar's chair 
Full of broken thoughts 
I cannot repair 
Beneath the stains of time 
The feelings disappear 
You are someone else 
I am still right here
What have I become 
My sweetest friend 
Everyone I know goes away 
In the end 
And you could have it all 
My empire of dirt 
I will let you down 
I will make you hurt
If I could start again 
A million miles away 
I would keep myself 
I would find a way

HURT - Riff Beach

I have loved this Irish Waltz tune from the first time I heard it. So here´s my take on this lovely tune :-)


Margarets waltz

Retired musician .  Just writing a few simple songs about
life and growing old.  Song about my childhood on a
Louisiana delta farm.  Most songs were written and composed by me on my Boss  BR8 Digital Recording Studio.  Hope to complete my first CD soon.  I have a few cover songs also.
