(Instrumental)

Have You Ever Been (To Electric Ladyland) lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

Have you ever been (Have you ever been?)

To Electric Ladyland?

The magic carpet waits for you

So don't you be late, oh

(I wanna show you) The different emotions

(I wanna run you) The sounds and motions

Electric woman waits for you and me

So it's time we take a ride

You can cast all your hang-ups over the side

While we fly right over the love-filled sea

Look up ahead, I see the loveland

Soon you'll understand, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Make love, make love)

(Make love, make love)

(I wanna show you)

The angels will spread their wings

Spread their wings

(I wanna show you)

Good and evil lay side by side

While electric love penetrates the sky

(I wanna show you) Lord, Lord, Lord

I wanna show you

(I wanna show you) Hmm-hmm-hmm

(I wanna show you) Show you

(I wanna show you) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Crosstown Traffic lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

You jump in front of my car

When you, you know all the time

That ninety miles an hour, girl

Is the speed I drive

You tell me it's alright

You don't mind a little pain

You say you just want me to

Take you for a drive

You're just like

(Crosstown traffic) So hard to get through to you

(Crosstown traffic) I don't need to run over you

(Crosstown traffic) All you do is slow me down

And I'm trying to get on the other side of town

I'm not the only soul

Who's accused of hit and run

Tire tracks all across your back

I can, I can see you had your fun

But uh, darling can't you see

My signals turn from green to red?

And with you, I can see a traffic jam

Straight up ahead

You're just like

(Crosstown traffic) So hard to get through to you

(Crosstown traffic) I don't need to run over you

(Crosstown traffic) All you do is slow me down

And I've got better things on the other side of town

Yeah, yeah

(Crosstown traffic)

(Yeah, look out) Look out!

Look out, baby, coming through

(Crosstown traffic)

Yeah, yeah (Yeah, look out)

(Crosstown traffic)

Yeah (Yeah, look out)

Look out, look out, baby

(Crosstown traffic)

(Yeah, look out)

What's that on the street?

Move over (Crosstown traffic)

(Yeah, look out) Yeah!

(Crosstown traffic)

(Yeah, look out)

Voodoo Chile lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Well, I'm a voodoo chile

Lord, I'm a voodoo chile

Yeah

Well, the night I was born

Lord, I swear the moon turned a fire red

The night I was born

I swear the moon turned a fire red

Well my poor mother cried out "Lord, the gypsy was right!"

And I've seen her, fell down right dead

(Have mercy)

Well, mountain lions found me there waiting

And set me on a eagle's back (oh, Lord)

Well, mountain lions found me there

And set me on a eagle's wing (yeah)

(It's the eagle's wing baby, what did I say)

Well uh, he took me past to the outskirts of infinity

And when he brought me back

He gave me a Venus witch's ring

Hey! (yeah) and he said "Fly on, fly on"

Because I'm a voodoo chile baby

Voodoo chile, hey!

Yeah!

Well, I make love to you

And Lord knows you'll feel no pain, yeah

Say, I make love to you in your sleep

And Lord knows you felt no pain

(Have mercy)

'Cause I'm a million miles away

And at the same time I'm right here in your picture frame

(Yeah! What did I say now?)

'Cause I'm a voodoo chile

Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile

Yeah!

Yeah, well my arrows are made of desire

From far away as Jupiter's sulphur mines

Say my arrows are made of desire, desire

From far away as Jupiter's sulphur mines

Way down by the Methane Sea, yeah

I have a hummingbird and it hums so loud

You think you were losing your mind, hmm

Turn that damn guitar down

Well I float in liquid gardens

And Arizona new red sand

(Yeah)

I float in liquid gardens

Way down in Arizona red sand (yeah now, baby)

Well, I taste the honey from a flower named Blue

Way down in California

And the New York drowns as we hold hands

Yeah, Hey!

'Cause I'm a voodoo chile

Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile

Yeah!

Little Miss Strange lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

No one knows where she comes from

Maybe she's a devil in disguise

I can tell by looking in her eyes

Little miss strange

Little miss strange

Little miss strange came into my parlor

I don't know just what to ask her

I don't remember what we did after

Little miss strange

Little miss strange

Little miss strange came out of the darkness

Walked across my head, I stood beneath the light

I'm talking 'bout the dream I had the other night

Little miss strange

Little miss strange

Long Hot Summer Night lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Sure was a long, long, long, hot summer night

As far as my eyes could see (yeah, yeah, yeah)

But my heart was way down

In a cold, cold winter storm

My darling, where can you be?

Where can you be, baby?

Where can you be?

There were three sugar walls and-a two candy cane windows

(Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop)

But the serious moon melted all those in sight (all those in sight)

Everybody's on fire but I'm a snowing in a cold blizzard

Where are you on this-a hot cold summer?

Where are you on this-a hot cold summer?

Where are you on this-a hot cold summer night?

Around about this time the telephone blew its horn across the room

Scared little Annie clean out of her mind, clean out of her mind

Roman the Candle, he peeps out of his peekaboo hide-and-seek

And grabbed little Annie from the ceiling just in time

And the telephone keeps on screaming

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Hello, says my shaky voice, well, how are you doing

I start to stutter

Ah, can't you tell I'm doing fine

It was my baby talking, she's way down across the border

She says, I'm gonna hurry to you, I've been a fool

And I'm tired of crying

Yeah, a long, long, long, hot summer night

As far as my eyes could see (as far, as far as I could see)

But I can feel the heat coming on as my baby's getting closer

I'm so glad that my baby's coming to rescue me

So glad that my baby's coming to rescue me

So glad my baby's coming to rescue me

Rescue, rescue, rescue

Rescue, rescue

Rescue, rescue, what'd I say

Rescue me, rescue me

Rescue, rescue me, rescue me

Rescue

Come On lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

People talking but they just don't know

What's in my heart, and why I love you so

I love you, baby, like a miner loves gold

Come on, sugar, let the good times roll

Hey!

So many people live in make-believe

They keep a lot of dirt up their sleeves

But my love, baby, is no kind that folds

Come on, baby, let the good times roll

Hey!

Let the good times roll

Aw, let me, baby, come on and let Daddy fill your soul

Baby, let the good times roll

Oh, love is nice if it's understood

It's even nicer when you're feeling good

You got me flipping like a flag on a pole

Come on, sugar, let the good times roll

Hey!

Let the good times roll

Hey! Fill me, baby

I'm talking the good times roll

Come on and let me fill your soul

Hey, let the good times roll

Gypsy Eyes lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Well, I realize that I've been hypnotized

I love you, Gypsy Eyes

I love you, Gypsy Eyes, alright

Hey!

Gypsy

Way up in my tree, I'm sitting by my fire

Wondering where in this world might you be?

And knowing all the time

You're still roaming the countryside

Do you still think about me? Oh my

Gypsy

Well, I walked right on up to your rebel roadside

The one that rambles on for a million miles

Yes, I walk down this road searching

For your love and my soul, too

But when I find you, I ain't gonna let go

I remember the first time I saw you

The tears in your eyes looked like they were trying to say

"Oh, little boy, you know I could love you

But first, I must make my getaway

Two strange men fighting to the death over me today

I'll try to meet you by the old highway"

Hey!

Well, I realize that I've been hypnotized

I love you, Gypsy Eyes

I love you, Gypsy Eyes

I love you, Gypsy Eyes

I love you, Gypsy Eyes

Alright!

I've been searching so long

My feet, they painfully lose the battle

Down against the road, my weary knees take their place

Off to the side, I fall, but I hear a sweet call

My Gypsy Eyes has found me and I've been saved

Lord, I've been saved

That's why I love you

Said, I love you

Hey! I love you

Lord, I love you

Hey!

Burning Of The Midnight Lamp lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

The morning is dead, and the day is too

There's nothing left here to lead me but the velvet moon

All my loneliness I have felt today

It's a little more than enough to make a man throw himself away

And I continue to burn the Midnight Lamp, alone

Now the smiling portrait of you

Is still hanging on my frowning wall

It really doesn't, it really doesn't bother me too much at all

It's just the ever falling dust that makes it so hard for me to see

That forgotten earring laying on the floor

Facing coldly towards the door

And I continue to burn the Midnight Lamp, all alone

Burn!

Yeah, yeah

Lonely, lonely, lonely

Loneliness is such a drag!

So here I sit to face that same old fireplace

Getting ready for the same old explosion

Going through my mind

And soon enough, the time will tell

About the circus in the wishing well

And someone who will buy and sell for me

Someone who will toll my bell

And I continue to burn the Midnight Lamp, all alone

Burn!

Yeah, yeah

Lonely, lonely, lonely

Loneliness is such a drag!

Rainy Day, Dream Away lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Hey man, take a look out the window and see what's happening

Hey man, it's raining

It's raining outside man

Aw, don't worry about that

Everything's going to be everything

We'll get into something real nice you know

Sit back and groove on a rainy day

Yeah, yeah I see what you mean brother, lay back and groove

Rainy day, dream away

Ah let the sun take a holiday

Flowers bathe an' ah see the children play

Lay back and groove on a rainy day

Well, I can see a bunch of wet creatures, look at them on the run

The carnival traffic noise it sings the tune splashing up and

Even the ducks can groove rain bathing in the park side pool

And I'm leaning out my windowsill digging everything

And you too

Rainy day, rain all day

Ain't no use in getting uptight, just let it groove its own way

Let it drain your worries away

Lay back and groove on a rainy day

Lay back and dream on a rainy day

1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be) lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Hooray, I awake from yesterday

Alive but the war is here to stay

So my love, Katherina and me

Decide to take our last walk

Through the noise to the sea

Not to die but to be reborn

Away from a life so battered and torn

Forever, forever

Oh, say can you see, it's really such a mess

Every inch of earth is a fighting nest

Giant pencil and lipstick tube-shaped things

Continue to rain and cause screaming pain

And the Arctic stains

From silver blue to bloody red

As our feet find the sand and the sea

Is straight ahead, straight up ahead

Well, it's too bad, that our friends can't be with us today

Well, that's too bad

"The machine that we built would never save us"

That's what they say

(That's why they ain't coming with us today)

And they also said

"It's impossible for man to live and breathe underwater forever"

Was their main complaint

(Yeah)

And they also threw this in my face, they said:

"Anyway, you know good and well

It would be beyond the will of God

And the grace of the King"

Grace of the King, yeah, yeah

So my darling and I make love in the sand

To salute the last moment ever on dry land

Our machine has done its work, played its part well

Without a scratch on our bodies and we bid it farewell

Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smile

Before our heads go under, we take a last look

At the killing noise of the out of style

The out of style, out of style

So down and down and down and down

And down and down we go

Hurry, my darling, we mustn't be late for the show

Neptune champion games to an aqua world is so very dear

Right this way, smiles a mermaid

I can hear Atlantis full of cheer

Atlantis full of cheer

I can hear Atlantis full of cheer

Moon, Turn The Tides... Gently, Gently Away lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

(Instrumental)

Still Raining, Still Dreaming lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Rainy day, rain all day

Ain't no use in getting uptight

Just let it groove its own way

Let it drain your worries away, yeah

Lay back and groove on a rainy day hey

Lay back and dream on a rainy day

Lay back and groove on a rainy day

Lay back, oh yeah!

Lay back and groove on a rainy day

Lay back and groove on a rainy day

Lay back and dream on a rainy day

Lay back and groove on a rainy day

Lay back and dream on a rainy day

Lay back and, lay back, lay back, lay back and groove

Ooh, aah!

Lay back and groove on a rainy day

Lay back and groove on a rainy day

Lay back and dream on a rainy day

Lay back and groove on a rainy day

Lay back and dream on a rainy day

Lay back and, lay back, lay back, lay back and groove

Ooh, aah!

House Burning Down lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey

Look at the sky turn a hell fire red

Somebody's house is burning down down, down down

Down, down, down

Well I asked my friend, "Where is that black smoke coming from?"

He just coughed and changed the subject and said, "Oh, I think it might snow some"

So I left him sipping his tea and I jumped in my chariot

And rode off to see just why and who could it be this time

Sisters and brothers, daddies, mothers standing around crying

When I reached the scene the flames were making a ghostly whine

So I stood on my horse's back and I screamed without a crack

I say, "Oh baby why'd you burn your brother's house down?"

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey

Look at the sky turn a hell fire red, Lord

Somebody's house is burning down down, down down

Look at the sky turn a hell fire red, Lord

Somebody's house is burning down down

Down, down, down

Well, someone stepped from the crowd, he was nineteen miles high

He shouts, "We're tired and disgusted, so we paint red through the sky."

I said, "The truth is straight ahead so don't burn yourself instead

Try to learn instead of burn, hear what I say. Yeah, yeah."

So I finally rode away but I'll never forget that day

Because when I reached the valley I looked way down cross the way

A giant boat from space landed with eerie grace

And came and taken all the dead away

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey

Look at the sky turn a hell fire red, Lord

Somebody's house is burning down down, down down

Look at the sky turn a hell fire red, Lord

Somebody's house is burning down down, down down

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh baby

All Along The Watchtower lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

"There must be some kind of way out of here"

Said the joker to the thief

"There's too much confusion

I can't get no relief

Businessmen, they drink my wine

Plowmen dig my earth

None will level on the line

Nobody offered his word

Hey!"

"No reason to get excited"

The thief, he kindly spoke

"There are many here among us

Who feel that life is but a joke

But you and I, we've been through that

And this is not our fate

So let us stop talking falsely now

The hour's getting late

Hey!"

All along the watchtower

Princes kept the view

While all the women came and went

Barefoot servants too

Outside in the cold distance

A wildcat did growl

Two riders were approaching

And the wind began to howl, hey

All along the watchtower

All along the watchtower

Voodoo Child (Slight Return) lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Well, I stand up next to a mountain

And I chop it down with the edge of my hand

Well, I stand up next to a mountain

And I chop it down with the edge of my hand

Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island

Might even raise a little sand

Yeah

'Cause I'm a voodoo child

Lord knows I'm a voodoo child, baby

I want to say one more last thing

I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time

I'll give it right back to you one of these days, hahaha

I said I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time

I'll give it right back one of these days

Oh yeah

If I don't meet you no more in this world, then

I'll meet you in the next one

And don't be late

Don't be late

'Cause I'm a voodoo child, voodoo child

Lord knows I'm a voodoo child, baby

I'm a voodoo child, baby

I don't take no for an answer

Question no

Lord knows I'm a voodoo child, baby

Axis: Bold As Love (1967) - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

EXP lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen

Welcome to radio station EXP

Tonight we are featuring an interview with a very peculiar looking gentleman who goes by the name of Mr. Paul Caruso on the dodgy subject of "Are there or are there not flying saucers or UFOs?"

Um, please Mr. Caruso, could you give us your regarded opinion on this nonsense about spaceships and even space people?

Thank you

As you all know, you just can't believe everything you see and hear, can you?

Now, if you'll excuse me, I must be on my way

Eh, but, but, but, but

Huh, I don't believe it

Up From The Skies lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

I just want to talk to you

I won't uh, do you no harm

I just want to know about your different lives

On this here people farm

I heard some of you got your families

Living in cages, tall and cold

And some just stay there and, dust away

Past the age of old

Is this true?

Please let me talk to you

I just want to know about

The rooms behind your minds

Do I see a vacuum there

Or am I going blind?

Or is it just uh, remains from vibrations

And echoes long ago

Things like "Love the World"

And uh, "Let your fancy Flow"

Is this true?

Please let me talk to you

Let me talk to you

I have lived here before, the days of ice

And of course this is why I'm so concerned

And I come back to find the stars misplaced

And the smell of a world that has burned

A smell of the world that has burned

Yeah well, maybe

Maybe it's just a change of climate

I can dig it

I can dig it baby, I just want to see

So where do I purchase my ticket?

I would just like to have a ringside seat

I want to know about the new Mother Earth

I want to hear and see everything

I want to hear and see everything

I want to hear and see everything

Aw, shucks

If my daddy could see me now

Everything, everything

Everything, everything

Spanish Castle Magic lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

It's very far away

It takes about a half a day to get there

If we travel by my, dragonfly

No it's not in Spain

But all the same you know, it's a groovy name

And the wind's just right

Hey!

Hang on my darling

Hang on if you want to go

Hear it's a really groovy place

It's uh, just a little bit of uh, said uh

Spanish Castle Magic

The clouds are really low

And they overflow with cotton candy

And battlegrounds red and brown

But it's all in your mind

Don't think your time on bad things

Just float your little mind around

Look out! Ooh

Hang on my darling, yeah

Hang on if you want to go

It's a ha, as you can see

A really groovy place

It's just a little bit of

Spanish Castle Magic

Yeah baby, listen

Yeah. It's all in your mind babe

Ow! Yeah

Hang on my darling, hey

Oh girl, that's right baby

It's a, a little bit of

Spanish Castle Magic, hey

Little bit of

Spanish Castle Magic

Hey, I can't sing this song

Yeah baby

Get on baby, yeah

It's all in your mind

Little bit of daydream here and there

Oh, yeah, oh, hey!

Everything's going to be alright

Wait Until Tomorrow lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Well, I'm standing here freezing

Inside your golden garden

I got my ladder leaned

Up against your wall

Tonight's the night we planned

To run away together

Come on Dolly Mae, there's no time to stall

But now you're telling me...

I think we better wait 'til tomorrow

Yeah, yeah, hey

(I think we better wait 'til tomorrow)

Girl, what you're talking 'bout?

(I think we better wait 'til tomorrow)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Gotta make sure it's right

So until tomorrow, goodnight

Oh, what a drag

Oh, Dolly Mae, how can you

Hang me up this way?

On the phone you said you wanted

To run off with me today

Now I'm standing here

Like some turned-down serenading fool

Hearing strange words stutter

From the mixed-up mind of you

And you keep telling me, that, uh...

I think we better wait 'til tomorrow

What you're talking 'bout?

(I think we better wait 'til tomorrow)

No, can't wait that long

(I think we better wait 'til tomorrow)

Oh, no

Gotta make sure it's right

Until tomorrow, goodnight, oh no

See if I can talk to this girl a little bit here

Oh, Dolly Mae girl, you must be insane

So unsure of yourself leaning

From your unsure window pane

Do I see a silhouette of somebody

Pointing something from a tree?

Click, bang!

What a hang

Your daddy just shot poor me

And I hear you say, as I fade away...

We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow, hey!

We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow

What'd you say?

(We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow)

It must not have been right

So forever, goodnight

Listen at you

(We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow)

Ah, do I have to wait? Don't have to wait

(We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow)

It's a drag on my part

(We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow)

Don't have to wait, uh, hmm, oh no

(We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow)

Don't have to wait, don't have to wait, yeah

(We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow)

Don't have to wait, don't have to wait

(We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow)

Oh no, I won't be around tomorrow, yeah!

(We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow)

Don't have to wait

(We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow)

Bye, bye bye!

(We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow)

Oh, what a mix up

Crazy, ah!

We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow

Ain't No Telling lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Well, there ain't no

(Ain't no)

Ain't no telling, baby

When you will see me again, but I pray

It will be tomorrow

Well, the sunrise

(Sunrise)

Is burning my eyes, baby

Well now, I must leave now, but I really hope

To see you tomorrow, yeah

Well, my house is oh, such a sad mile away

The feeling there always hangs up my day

Oh Cleopatra, she's driving me insane

She's trying to put my body in her brain

So uh, just uh, kiss me

Goodbye, just to ease the pain

Ain't no

(Ain't no)

Ain't no telling, baby

(Ain't no telling, babe)

Ain't no telling, baby

When you gonna see me, I really hope

Ain't no telling baby, yeah

You know what I'm talking about

Anyway, I must leave now

Little Wing lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Well, she's walking through the clouds

With a circus mind that's running wild

Butterflies and Zebras

And Moonbeams and fairy tales

That's all she ever thinks about

Riding with the wind

When I'm sad, she comes to me

With a thousand smiles she gives to me free

It's alright, she says it's alright

Take anything you want from me

Anything

Fly on little wing

If 6 Was 9 lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Yeah, sing the song for us

If the sun refused to shine

I don't mind, I don't mind (yeah)

If the mountains fell in the sea

Let it be, it ain't me

(Alright), I got my own world to look through

And uh, I ain't gonna copy you, yeah

Now if a 6 turned out to be 9

I don't mind, I don't mind, (well alright)

If all the hippies cut off all their hair

I don't care, I don't care

Dig, 'cause I got my own world to live through

And uh, and I ain't gonna copy you

White-collared conservatives

Flashing down the street

Pointing their plastic finger at me

They're hoping soon, my kind will drop and die

But I'm gonna wave

My freak flag high, high ow!

Wave on, wave on

Uh, ha-ha, fall mountains

Just don't fall on me

Go ahead on Mr. Businessman

You can't dress like me, yeah

Nobody knows what I'm talking about

I've got my own life to live

I'm the one that's gonna have to die

When it's time for me to die

So let me live my life

The way I want to, yeah

Sing on brother

Play on drummer

You Got Me Floatin' lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Always up, you never let me down

Castles Made Of Sand lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Down the street you can hear her scream, "You're a disgrace!"

As she slams the door in his drunken face

And now he stands outside

And all the neighbors start to gossip and drool

He cries, "Oh girl, you must be mad

What happened to the sweet love you and me had?"

Against the door he leans and starts a scene

And his tears fall and burn the garden green

And so castles made of sand

Fall in the sea eventually

A little Indian brave who before he was ten

Played war games in the woods with his Indian friends

And he built a dream that when he grew up

He would be a fearless warrior, Indian Chief

Many moons passed, and more the dream grew strong

Until tomorrow he would sing his first war song

And fight his first battle

But something went wrong

Surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night

And so castles made of sand

Melts into the sea eventually

There was a young girl whose heart was a frown

'Cause she was crippled for life and she couldn't speak a sound

And she wished and prayed she could stop living

So she decided to die

She drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shore

And to her legs she smiled, "You won't hurt me no more."

But then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and say

"Look, a golden winged ship is passing my way."

And it really didn't have to stop

It just kept on going

And so castles made of sand

Slips into the sea eventually

She's So Fine lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

She walks with a bell clock 'round her neck

So the hippies think she's in with time, time

Her hair glistens like robins on a deck

Branches attack me from her neck

She's so fine

She's so very very fine

The sun from a cloud sinks into her eyes

The rain from a tree soaks into her mind, mind

Morning sign sounds just like a lark

All these signs are always the start

She's so fine

She's so very very fine

When I veer I get so near

But so far, far, far away

Listen to me today

We united just beside a leaf

The ground was hard underneath her

She's so fine, fine

One Rainy Wish lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Gold and rose, the color of the dream I had

Not too long ago

Misty blue and the lilac too

Never to grow old

There you were under the tree of song

Sleeping so peacefully

In your hand a flower played

Waiting there for me

I have never laid eyes on you

Not before this timeless day

But you woke and you

Once smiled my name

And you stole my heart away

Stole my heart away little girl, yeah

All right!

Gold and rose, the color of the dream I had

Not too long ago

Misty blue and the lilac too

Never to grow old

Gold and rose, the color of the dream I had

Misty blue and the lilac too

Gold and rose, the color of the dream I had

Misty blue and the lilac too

Gold and rose, gold and rose, gold and rose

It's only a dream

But I'd love to tell somebody about this dream

The sky was filled with a thousand stars

While the sun kissed the mountains blue

And eleven moons

Played across the rainbows

Above me and you

Gold and rose

The color of the velvet walls surrounds us

Little Miss Lover lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Little Miss Lover

Where have you been in this world for so long?

Well, I love a lover

That feels like you, would you like to tag along?

Well, I really don't need any help little girl

But I think you could help me out anyway

Aw, sucker today

Would you believe baby

I've been looking for a soul that feels like you

For some time

Excuse me while I see

If the gypsy in me is right

If you don't mind

Well, he signals me OK

So I think it's safe to say

I'm going to make a play

Aw, yeah

You see me walk towards you baby

Hey, aw yeah

Aw, give it to her!

Oh, get into it

Hey, hey, little miss lover

Well now, there's so much

You and me can discover

And I think we should start

(Hey, little miss lover)

See we should start right now, baby, hey, hey

(Hey, little miss lover)

Little miss, little miss, little miss lover

(Hey, little miss lover)

Oh baby, oh, look at me and say

(Hey, little miss lover)

So good, little miss lover

(Hey, little miss lover)

Hey baby

(Hey, little miss lover)

Go, it is very man good

(Hey, little miss lover)

Hey, lover

Bold As Love lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Anger, he smiles

Towering in shiny metallic purple armor

Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him

Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground

Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted

They quietly understand

Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready

But wonder why the fight is on

But they're all bold as love

Yeah, they're all bold as love

Yeah, they're all bold as love

Just ask the axis

My red is so confident he flashes trophies of war and ribbons of euphoria

Orange is young, full of daring

But very unsteady for the first go 'round

My yellow in this case is not so mellow

In fact, I'm trying to say it's frightened like me

And all of these emotions of mine keeps holding me from

Giving my life to a rainbow like you

But I'm uh, yeah, l'm bold as love

Yeah, yeah, well I'm bold, bold as love

Hear me talking, girl

I'm bold as love

Just ask the axis

He knows everything

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah

Are You Experienced? (1967) - (as The Jimi Hendrix Experience)

Purple Haze lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

Purple haze all in my brain

Lately things, they don't seem the same

Acting funny, but I don't know why

'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

Purple haze all around

Don't know if I'm coming up or down

Am I happy or in misery?

Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me

Help me! Help me!

Ah no, no

Yeah! Purple haze all in my eyes

Don't know if it's day or night

You got me blowing, blowing my mind

Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?

No, help me

No, yeah purple haze

Oh no, no

Oh, help me

Tell me, tell me

Can't go on like this

You make me blow my mind

No, no, no

No, no, purple haze

Manic Depression lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Manic depression is searching my soul

I know what I want, but I just don't know

How to, go about getting it

Feeling, sweet feeling

Drops from my Fender's fingers

Manic depression is capturing my soul

Yeah

Woman so willing, the sweet cause in vain

You make love, you break love

It's all the same

When it's, when it's over, mama

Music, sweet music

I wish I could caress, caress, caress

Manic depression is a frustrating mess

Well, I think I'll go turn myself off and go on down

All the way down

Really ain't no use in me hanging around

In your kind of scene

Music, sweet music

I wish I could caress, and kiss, kiss

Manic depression is a frustrating mess

Hey Joe lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Hey, Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand?

Hey, Joe, I said, where you going with that gun in your hand?

I'm going down to shoot my old lady

You know, I caught her messing around with another man

I'm going down to shoot my old lady

You know, I caught her messing around with another man

And that ain't too cool

Hey, Joe, I heard you shot your woman down

You shot her down, now

Hey, Joe, I heard you shot your old lady down

You shot her down to the ground

Yes I did, I shot her

You know, I caught her messing around, messing around town

Yes I did, I shot her

You know, I caught my old lady messing around town

And I gave her the gun, I shot her!

Hey, Joe, alright

Shoot her one more time, baby

Hey, Joe, where you going to run to now?

Where you going to run to?

Hey, Joe, I said, where you going to run to now?

Where you, where you going to go?

Well, dig it

I'm going way down south

Way down to Mexico way, alright

I'm going way down south

Way down where I can be free

There's no one going to find me

Ain't no hangman going to

He ain't gonna put a rope around me

You better believe it right now, I got to go now

Hey, Joe, you better run on down

Goodbye everybody, ow!

Hey, Joe, run on down

Love Or Confusion lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Is that the stars in the sky, or is it

Rain falling down

Will it burn me if I touch the sun, yeah

So big, so 'round

Would I be truthful, yeah, in

Choosing you as the one for me?

Is this love, baby

Or is it just confusion?

My mind is so messed up

Going 'round and 'round

Must there be all these colours

Without names, without sound, baby?

My heart burns with feeling, but

Whoa my mind, it's cold and reeling

Is this love, baby

Or is it just confusion?

Oh my head is pounding, pounding

Going 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round

Must there always be these colours

Without names, without sound?

My heart burns with feeling

Oh but my mind, it's cold and reeling

Is this love, baby

Or is it just confusion?

Oh, tell me baby

Is this love or confusion?

Mama, we must get together and find out

Exactly what we're trying to do

Love or confusion?

Confusion

May This Be Love lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Waterfall

Nothing can harm me at all

My worries seem so very small

With my waterfall

I can see

My rainbow calling me

Through the misty breeze

Of my waterfall

Some people say

Daydreaming's for all the, huh

Lazy minded fools

With nothing else to do

So let them laugh, laugh at me

So just as long as I have you

To see me through

I have nothing to lose

Long as I have you

Waterfall

Don't ever change your ways

Fall with me for a million days

Oh, my waterfall

I Don't Live Today lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Will I live tomorrow?

Well I just can't say

Will I live tomorrow?

Well, I just can't say

But I know for sure

I Don't Live Today

No sun coming through my windows

Feel like I'm sitting at the bottom of a grave

No sun coming through my windows

Feel like I'm sitting at the bottom of a grave

I wish you'd hurry up 'n' rescue me

So I can be on my mis'rable way

I Don't Live Today

It's such a shame to waste you time away like this

Will I live tomorrow?

Well, I just can't say

Will I live tomorrow?

Well, I just can't say

But I know for sure

I Don't Live Today

The Wind Cries Mary lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

After all the jacks are in their boxes

And the clowns have all gone to bed

You can hear happiness staggering on down the street

Footprints dressed in red

And the wind whispers, "Mary."

A broom is drearily sweeping

Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life

Somewhere a queen is weeping

Somewhere a king has no wife

And the wind—it cries, "Mary!"

The traffic lights—they turn, uh, blue tomorrow

And shine their emptiness down on my bed

The tiny island sags downstream

'Cause the life that lived is—is dead

And the wind screams, "Mary!"

Will the wind ever remember

The names it has blown in the past?

And with its crutch, its old age and its wisdom

It whispers, "No. This will be the last."

And the wind cries, "Mary!"

Fire lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

Alright

Now dig this, baby

You don't care for me

I don't care about that

You got a new fool, ha!

I like it like that

I have only one burning desire

Let me stand next to your fire

Let me stand next to your fire (Hey! Let me stand next to your fire)

Let me stand next to your fire (Whoa, let me stand baby)

Let me stand next to your fire (Let me stand)

Let me stand next to your fire (Yeah baby)

Listen here, baby

And stop acting so crazy

You say your mom ain't home

It ain't my concern

Just play with me and you won't get burned

I have only one itching desire

Let me stand next to your fire

Let me stand next to your fire (Yeah! Let me stand baby)

Let me stand next to your fire (Let me stand)

Let me stand next to your fire (Oh, let me stand)

Let me stand next to your fire (Oh!)

Oh! Move over, Rover

And let Jimi take over

Yeah, you know what I'm talking about

Yeah, get on with it, baby

Yeah

That's what I'm talking about

Now dig this!

Ha!

Now listen, baby

You try to give me your money

You better save it, babe

Save it for your rainy day

I have only one burning desire

Let me stand next to your fire

Let me stand next to your fire (Oh! Let me stand)

Let me stand next to your fire (Let me stand)

Let me stand next to your fire (I ain't gonna do you no harm)

Let me stand next to your fire

Ow, yeah, you better move over baby

I ain't gonna hurt ya baby

Ah, I ain't talkin' with your old lady

Ow, ah yes this is Jimi talkin' to you

Yeah, baby, doo

Third Stone From The Sun lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Star fleet to scout ship, please give your position

Over

I am in orbit around the third planet from the star called the sun

Over

May this be Earth?

Over

Positive. It is known to have some form of intelligent species

Over

I think we should take a look

Strange beautiful grass of green

With your majestic silver seas

Your mysterious mountains I'd wish to see closer

May I land my kinky machine?

Although your world wonders me

With your majestic and superior cackling hen

Your people I do not understand

So to you I shall put an end

Then you'll never hear surf music again

Foxey Lady lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Foxy

Ooh, foxy lady

Now I see you, heh, are down on the scene

I'm tired of wasting all my precious time

You've got to be all mine, all mine

Foxy lady

Here I come

Yeah, I'm gonna take you home

You've got to be all mine, all mine

Are You Experienced? lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

If you can just get your mind together

Then come on across to me

We'll hold hands, and then we'll watch the sunrise

From the bottom of the sea

But first, are you experienced?

Or have you ever been experienced?

Well, I have

I know, I know you probably scream and cry

That your little world won't let you go

But who in your measly little world

Are you trying to prove that

You're made out of gold and, uh, can't be sold?

So uh, are you experienced?

Have you ever been experienced?

Well, I have

Ah, let me prove it to you

Trumpets and violins I can, uh, hear in the distance

I think they're calling our names

Maybe now you can't hear them, but you will, ha-ha

If you just take hold of my hand

Oh, but are you experienced?

Have you ever been experienced?

Not necessarily stoned, but beautiful

Stone Free lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

Everyday in the week, I'm in a different city

If I stay too long, the people try to pull me down

They talk about me like a dog, talk about the clothes I wear

But they don't realize they're the ones who's square

Hey, and that's why you can't hold me down

I don't want to be down

I got to move on

Aw!

Stone free, to do what I please

Stone free, to ride the breeze

Stone free, I can't stay

I got to, got to, got to get away right now

Yeah, alright

Listen to this baby

A woman here, a woman there, try to keep me in a plastic cage

But they don't realize it's so easy to break

Oh but sometimes I can, ha

I can feel my heart kind of running hot

That's when I got to move, before I get caught

Hey, and that's why, listen to me baby, you can't hold me down

I don't want to be tied down

I got to be free

Aw!

I said

Stone free, to do what I please

Stone free, to ride the breeze

Stone free, I can't stay

I got to, got to, got to get away

Yeah, aw

Turn me loose baby

Yeah, aw!

Uh huh, yeah!

I said

Stone free, to ride the breeze

Stone free, to do what I please

Stone free, I can't stay

I got to, got to, got to, got to get away

Stone free

I'm gonna leave right now

Stone free

Don't turn on me back

Stone free

I'm going on down the highway, yeah

Stone free

Got to, got to, got to, got to, got to

Stone free

Ooh hell, bye bye baby

Stone free

Aw

51st Anniversary lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

For fifty years they've been married

And they can't wait for their fifty-first to roll around

Yeah, roll around

Thirty years they've been married

And now they're old and happy and they settle down

Settle down, yeah

Twenty years they've been married

And they did everything that could be done

You know they're having fun

And then you come along and talk about

So you, you say you wanna be married

I'm gonna change your mind

Oh! Got to change

That was the good side, baby

Here comes the bad side

Ten years they've been married

A thousand kids run around hungry

'Cause their mother's a louse

Daddy's down at the whiskey house

That ain't all

For three years they've been married

They don't get along so good

They're tired of each other, you know how that goes

She got another lover, same old thing

So now you're seventeen

Running around, hanging out, and having your fun

Life for you has just begun, baby

And then you come saying

So you, you say you want to be married

Oh baby, trying to put me on a chain

Ain't that some shame?

You must be losing your, weak little mind

I ain't ready yet, baby, I ain't ready

I'm gonna change your mind!

Oh, look out, baby

Ow!

I ain't ready to get tied down

I ain't ready

I ain't ready now

Let me live a little while longer

Let me live!

Let me live a little while longer, oh

So if you're finished talking

Let me get back in my groove

Highway Chile lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Yeah, his guitar slung across his back

His dusty boots is his Cadillac

Flamin' hair just a blowin' in the wind

Ain't seen a bed in so long it's a sin

He left home when he was seventeen

The rest of the world he had longed to see

But everybody knows the boss

A rolling stone who gathers no moss

But you'd probably call him a tramp

But it goes a little deeper than that

He's a highway chile, yeah

Now some people say he had a girl back home

Who messed around and did him pretty wrong

They tell me it kinda hurt him bad

Kinda made him feel pretty sad

I couldn't say what went through his mind

Anyway, he left the world behind

But everybody knows the same old story

In love and war you can lose with glory

Now you'd probably call him a tramp

But I know it goes a little deeper than that

He's a highway chile

Walk on brother, yeah

One more brother

His old guitar slung across his back

His dusty boots is his Cadillac

Flamin' hair just a-blowin' in the wind

Ain't seen a bed in so long it's a sin

Now you may call him a tramp

But I know it goes a little deeper than that

He's a highway chile

Walk on brother

Don't let no one stop you

Highway chile

Yeah yeah yeah

Highway chile

Rolling stone

Go on down the highway

Highway chile

Yeah yeah yeah

Highway chile

Can You See Me? lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Can you see me, yeah, begging you on my knees?

Whoa yeah!

Can you see me, baby?

Baby, please don't leave

Yeah, if you can see me doing that

You can see in the future of a thousand years

Can you hear me? Crying all over town

Yeah, babe

Can you hear me, baby? Crying 'cause you put me down

Must be joking

If you can hear me doing that you can

Hear a freight train coming from a thousand miles

Ah yeah

Can you hear me? Singing this song to you

Ah, you better open up your ears

Can you hear me, baby? Singing this song to you

Ah shucks!

If you can hear me sing

You better come home like you're supposed to do

Can you see me?

Hey, hey

I don't believe you can see me

Whoa yeah!

Can you hear me baby?

I don't believe you can

You can't see me

Remember lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Oh, remember

The mocking bird, my baby bought

He used to sing for his supper, baby

Yes, he used to sing for his dinner, baby

He used to sing so sweet

But, uh, since my baby left me

He ain't sang a tune all day

Oh, remember

The bluebirds and the honey-bees

They used to sing for the sunshine

Yes, they used to sing for the honey, baby

They used to sing so sweet

But, ever since my baby left me

Ain't sang a tune all day

Ah, baby

Hey, pretty baby

Come on back to me

Make everybody

Happy as can be, yeah!

Oh, baby

So, baby

If you please come home again

You know I'll kiss you for my supper, yeah

You know I'll kiss you for my dinner, baby, now

But, uh, if you don't come back

You know I'll have to starve to death

'Cause I ain't had a kiss all day, now

All day

Please remember

Got to remember

Yeah!

Got to remember our love

Come on back, uh

Come on back in my arms

Make everything back together

Ah, baby, hurry up now

Can you hear my calling you back again, now?

Come on baby

Stop jiving around

Hurry home, hurry home

Red House lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

(Ah yeah!)

There's a red house over yonder

That's where my baby stays

Lord, there's a red house over yonder

Lord, that's where my baby stays

I ain't been home to see my baby

In ninety nine and one half days

Wait a minute, something's wrong here

The key won't unlock this door

Wait a minute, something's wrong

Lord have mercy, this key won't unlock this door

Somethings goin' on here

I have a bad, bad feeling

That my baby don't live here no more

(That's alright I still got my guitar, look out now!)

Well I might as well go on over yonder

Way back up on the hill

(I got something to do)

Lord, I might as well go back over yonder

Way back yonder 'cross the hill

'Cause if my baby don't love me no more

I know her sister will!

3 Little Bears lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

"Ha ha ha", says Mama Bear as she irons Daddy's holey underwear

And "Hee hee hee", says Daddy bear as Junior pours honey all on sister's hair

Anyway you know they live happily ever after

Well, "Ho ho ho" say the little fish

As the sad fisherman goes home without a hitch

But "Hee hee hee" says the fisherman

With his lady burning French fries in the frying pan

(This is so silly man)

"Hee hee hee" says you to me

(Man I don't feel like going through with this, this is really silly)

Oh man, I wanna die

'Cause walking around on the ground is really cramping my high

I sure don't wanna live without you forever after, no

Now what does all this have to do with the three little bears?

Well, I was just feeling blue, 'cause I really care

That you're still gone from me and I'm as sad as I can be

So I'll sing and play this tune until you come back home to me

Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window? lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

He sits in your room, his tomb, with a fist full of tacks

Preoccupied with his vengeance

Cursing the dead that can't answer him back

I'm sure that he has no intentions

Of looking your way, unless it's to say

That he needs you to test his inventions

Can you please crawl out your window?

Use your arms and legs it won't ruin you

How can you say he will haunt you?

You can go back to him any time you want to

He looks so truthful, is this how he feels

Trying to peel the moon and expose it

With his businesslike anger and his bloodhounds that kneel

If he needs a third eye he just grows it

He just needs you to talk or to hand him his chalk

Or pick it up after he throws it

Can you please crawl out your window?

Use your arms and legs it won't ruin you

How can you say he will haunt you?

You can go back to him any time you want to

Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed

Are you frightened of the box you keep him in

While his genocide fools and his friends rearrange

Their religion of the little ten women

That backs up their views but your face is so bruised

Come on out the dark is beginning

Can you please crawl out your window?

Use your arms and legs it won't ruin you

How can you say he will haunt you?

You can go back to him any time you want to

Hound Dog lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog

Scratchin' all the time

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog baby

Scratchin' all the time

You ain't never caught a rabbit

And you ain't no friend of mine

When they said you was high classed

Well, that was just a lie

When they said you was high classed baby

That was just a lie

You ain't never kill a rabbit

And you ain't no friend of mine

Whoa!!!

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog

Scratchin' all the time

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog baby

Scratchin' all the time

You ain't never, you ain't never caught a rabbit

And you ain't no friend of mine

I Was Made To Love Her lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

I was born in Little Rock

Had a childhood sweetheart

We were always hand in hand

I was high top shoes and shirt tails

Suzy was in pig tails

I know I loved her even then

You know my papa disapproved it

My mama boohooed it

But I told them time and time again

"Don't you know I was made to love her

Built a world all around her"

Yeah! Hey, hey, hey

She's been my inspiration

Showed appreciation

For the love I gave her through the years

Like a sweet magnolia tree

My love blossomed tenderly

My life grew sweeter through the years

I know that my baby loves me

My baby needs me

That's why we made it through the years

All through thick and thin

Our love just won't end

Because I love my baby, love my baby, ah

My baby loves me

My baby needs me

And I know I'm not going nowhere

I was knee high to a chicken

When that love bug bit me

I had the fever with each passing year

Oh, even if the mountain tumbles

If this whole world crumbles

By her side I'll still be standing there

Jammin' lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

A police car and a screaming siren

Pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete

A baby wailing and a stray dog howling

The screech of brakes and lamp lights blinking

That's entertainment

That's entertainment

A smash of glass and the rumble of boots

An electric train and a ripped up phone booth

Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tom cat

Lights going out and a kick in the balls

I say that's entertainment

That's entertainment

Days of speed and slow-time Mondays

Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday

Watching the news and not eating your tea

A freezing cold flat with damp on the walls

I say that's entertainment

That's entertainment

Waking up at 6 a.m. on a cool warm morning

Opening the window and breathing in petrol

An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard

Watching the telly and thinking 'bout your holidays

That's entertainment

That's entertainment

Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes

Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume

A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac

Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away

That's entertainment

That's entertainment

Two lovers kissing at the scream of midnight

Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude

Getting a cab and travelling on buses

Reading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs

That's entertainment

That's entertainment

Killing Floor lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

I should have quit you

A long time ago

I should have quit you, baby

A long time ago

But you got me messing around with you, baby

You got me crying on a killing floor, yeah

If I don't follow, yeah

My first mind

If I don't fallow, pretty baby

My first mind

I would have been gone since my second time

Yeah

Lord knows, right now

I should have been gone

Lord knows, I should have been gone

But you got me messing around with you, baby

You got me crying on a killing floor, yeah

But you got me messing around with you, baby

You got me crying on a killing floor, yeah

Lulu Introduction lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

Hey Izabella

Girl, I'm holding you in my dreams every night

Yeah, but you know good well baby

You know we got this war to fight

Well, I'm calling you under fire

Well, I hope you're receiving me all right

Girl, I'm fighting this war for the children and you

Yeah, yeah, yeah, baby

All this blood is for the world of you

All your love

So I hope you save your love, baby

Then I know the fighting is true

Machine Gun lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

Happy New Year, first of all

I hope we have about a million, or two million more of them

If we can get over this summer; hehehe

I'd like to dedicate this one to, uh

The draggy scene that's going on

All the soldiers that are fighting in Chicago and Milwaukee and New York

Oh yes, and all the soldiers fighting in Vietnam

I'd like to do a thing called "Machine Gun"

Machine gun

Tearing my body all apart

Machine gun

Tearing my body all apart

Evil man make me kill you

Evil man make you kill me

Evil man make me kill you

Even though we're only families apart

Well I pick up my axe and fight like a farmer

You know what I mean?

Hey, and your bullets keep knocking me down

Hey, I pick up my axe and fight like a farmer now

Yeah, but you still blast me down, to the ground

The same way you shoot me down, baby

You'll be going just the same

Three times the pain

And your own self to blame

Hey, machine gun

I ain't afraid of your mess no more, babe

I ain't afraid no more

After awhile your, your cheap talk won't even cause me pain

So let your bullets fly like rain

Because I know all the time you're wrong baby

And you'll be going just the same

Yeah, machine gun

Tearing my family apart

Yeah, yeah, alright

Tearing my family apart

Don't you shoot him down

He's about to leave here

Don't you shoot him down

He's got to stay here

He ain't going nowhere

He's been shot down to the ground

Oh where he can't survive no, no

Yeah, that's what we don't wanna hear anymore, alright

(No bullets)

At least here, huh huh

(No guns, no bombs)

Huh huh

No nothing, just let's all live and live

You know instead of killing

Midnight Lightning lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

I get stoned

I can't go home

I'm calling long distance on a public saxophone

My head is aching

Lord, my mind is breaking

Feel I got run over by Captain Coconut and his dog named Rover

Got to keep on moving

Got to keep on moving

To understand both sides of the sky

You got to keep on grooving, yeah

Good grooving

Because you got your God and so do I

We got to keep on loving

Good, good, good, loving

Make love on my dying bed

We got to stop smoking, stop, stop

I mean cigarette smoking

Or else I cough myself to death

And to make love to you baby

I wouldn't even have the breath

Got to keep on moving

Got to keep on moving

To understand both sides of the sky

You got to keep on grooving, yeah

Good grooving

Because you got your God and so do I

Power Of Soul lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

Shoot down some of those airplanes your flying

Especially the ones that are flying too low

Shoot down some of those airplanes

Especially the ones that your flying too low

Come on back to earth my friend

Come on back up with me

We've all been up through the night time baby

Now let's read the rays of reality

With the power of soul

Anything is possible

With the power of you

Anything you wanna do

Flying too much today

It's so groovy to float around sometimes

Even a jelly fish will tell you that

I said floatation is groovy

And he said

And a jelly fish will agree to that

Yeah, but that old jelly fish

Been floating around so long

Lord he hasn't got a bone in his jelly back

Floating every day and every night

Riding high is a risk

Sometimes the wind isn't right

With the power of soul

Anything is possible

With the power of you

Anything you wanna do

With the power of soul

Anything is possible

With the power of you

Anything you wanna do

With the power of you

Anything you want to do

Power To Love lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

Shoot down some of those airplanes you've been driving

Especially the ones that fly too low

Shoot down some of those airplanes

Especially the ones that fly you too low

Come on back up to Earth, my friend

Come on back up with me

We all been through the night time, baby

Now let's reap the waves of reality

With the power of soul anything is possible

With the power of soul anything is possible

Playing too much with one toy, baby

Leads, it leads, yeah, into the foggy

It's so groovy to float around, sometimes

Even a jellyfish will tell you that

I said flotation is groovy and easy

Even a jellyfish will agree to that

Yeah, but old jellyfish been floating so long and so slack

Lord, and don't got a bone in his jelly back

Floating every day and every night, riding high is a risk

Sometimes the wind ain't right

With the power of soul anything is possible

With the power of soul anything is possible

With the power of soul anything is possible

With the power of soul anything is possible

With the power of soul anything is possible

With the power of you anything that you wanna do

With the power of soul anything is possible

With the power of soul anything that you wanna do

With the power

Radio One lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

"We got a radio drink up for you. OK. OK. Here we go. It's name radio one. You're the one for me."

1, 2, 3, 4

Radio one

Your the only one for me

Just turn that dial

Make the music worth while

Radio one

You stole my girl

But I love you just the same

Steal Away lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

(originally by Jimmy Hughes)

I've got to see you, somehow

Not tomorrow, right now

I know it's late, whoa I can't wait

Oh, steal away

Now, don't start thinking, tryin' to make up your mind

Your folks are sleeping, let's not waste any time

I know it's late, whoa I can't wait

Oh, steal away

I know it's wrong asking this of you

There's no other way I can be with you

If only your folks would approve

Seeing like this we wouldn't have to do

No, I won't tell anybody else

I'll keep it to myself

I know it's late, whoa I can't wait

So come on and steal away

Please, steal away

I know it's wrong asking this of you

But there's no other way

I can be with you

If only your folks

If only you would approve

Seeing like this we wouldn't have to do

I wanna keep it

Keep it to myself

I can't keep it

I can't keep it away from myself

[?]

So come on

Come on and steal away

Yeah!

Stepping Stone lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

I sure got the blues this morning, baby

Yeah! And I'm here to tell you about it

So you might as well pick up on it!

I'm a man

At least I'm tryin' to be

I've lived before

The other half of me

I've lived before

That you don't want me

But in this search

For nothing desperately

Oh, I'm tryin' tryin'

Not to be a fool

I'm tryin' tryin'

Lord to keep my cool, baby tryin' so hard to keep it together

After I find, baby

That true love of mine

I'm just rollin' screamin'

Cryin' flyin'

Can't be trusted, but busted

Rolling stone

You're a woman

At least you say you are

You're a woman

At least you look like you are

You're a woman

At least you taste like you are

But you can take it off

In bed with my guitar

And then you leave them

Throw me outside

To cry, cry

To the moon and the nighttime

Save my soul

You can't find

All you want is a ticket to ride

After you show me everything

It did prove otherwise

You just rollin', screamin', cryin' good love is sometime, but

Can't be trusted

Steppin' stone

Steppin' stone

Steppin' stone
