Freedom lyrics - Jimi Hendrix
You got my pride
Hangin' out of my bed
You messing with my life
So I bought my lead
You even messin' with my children
And you're screaming at my wife, baby
Get off of my back
If you wanna get outta here alive
(Freedom) Freedom!
(Give it to me) That's what I want now
(Freedom) Freedom!
(Give it to me) That's what I need now
(Freedom) Freedom!
(Give it to me) To live
(Freedom) Freedom!
(Give it to me) So I can give
You got my heart
Spittin' electric water
You got my soul
Screamin' and holl'rin'
You're 'bout to hook my girlfriend
You know the drugstore man
But I don't need it now
Unless you're trying to slap it out of her hand
(Freedom) Freedom!
(Give it to me) So I can live
(Freedom) Freedom!
(Give it to me) So I can give
(Freedom) Freedom!
(Give it to me) Yeah
(Freedom) Freedom!
(Give it to me) That's what I need
You don't have to
Say that you love me
If you don't mean it
You better believe
If you need me
Or you just want to bleed me
Better sticking your dagger in someone else
So I can leave
Set me free!
(Keep on pushing) Right on
(Straight ahead) Straight ahead
(Keep on pushing) Straight up there
(Straight ahead) Straight ahead, freedom!
(Keep on pushing) So I can live, babe
(Straight ahead) Freedom!
(Keep on pushing) So that I can give
(Straight ahead) Freedom!
Keep on pushing! (So I can live)
Straight ahead! (Freedom)
Keep on pushing!
Straight ahead!
Keep on pushing!
Drifting lyrics - Jimi Hendrix
Drifting
On a sea of forgotten teardrops
On a lifeboat
Sailing for
Your love
Sailing home
Drifting
On a sea of old heartbreaks
On a lifeboat
Sailing for
Your love
Sailing home
Ezy Ryder lyrics - Jimi Hendrix
There goes Ezy
Ezy Ryder
Riding down the highway of desire
He says the free wind
Takes him higher
Trying to find his heaven above
But he is dying to be loved
He's telling me living
Is so magic
Something is forever
So he claims
He's talking 'bout lying
It is so tragic, baby
But don't you worry about today
We got freedom coming our way
How long
Do you think
He's gonna last
Carrying out on a gas [?]
See all the others say
Do what you please
Got to get the brothers together
And the right to be free
In a cloud of angel dust
I think I see me a freak
Hey motorcycle mama
You gonna marry me? Ha-ha
I will be stone crazy
Love coming in at you
Stone crazy baby
There goes Ezy
Ezy Ryder
Ridin' down the highway of desire
He says the free wind
Takes him higher
Tryin' to find his heaven above
But he's dyin' to be loved, dyin' to be loved
Night Bird Flying lyrics - Jimi Hendrix
She's just a night bird flying through the night
Fly on
She's just a night bird making a midnight, midnight flight
Sail on, sail on
Well, she's flying down to me
But, 'til tomorrow got to set her free
Set her free
So all we got, baby, is one precious night
All we got is one precious night
Throw all your blues and shoes and things
And rags down under the bed
Just wrap me up in your beautiful wings
Better hear what I say, yeah
Oh, carry me home
Please take me through your dreams
Inside your world I want to be
Until tomorrow no tears will be shed
Hold on 'til the sun gets out of bed
Hold on, hold on, baby
Fly on
Sail on, sail on , sail on
Sail on
My Friend lyrics - Jimi Hendrix
"Hey, look out for my glass up there, man
That's my drink, man, that's my drink, alright
Make it a double, or eh
Somebody has to sing
Some body will sing?
Somebody will sing, right?
I don't know"
You all pass me that bottle
And I'll sing you all a real song
Yeah
Let me get my key, ahem
Well, I'm looking through Harlem
My stomach squeal just a little more
A stagecoach full of feathers and footprints
Pulls up to soap-box door
Now a lady with a pearl-handled necktie
Tied to the driver's fence
Breathes in my face
Bourbon and coke possessed words
"Haven't I seen you somewhere in hell
Or was it just an accident?"
(You know how I felt then, and so)
Before I could ask "Was it the East or West side?"
My feet they howled in pain
The wheels of a bandwagon cut very deep
But not as deep in my mind as the rain
And as they pulled away, I could see her words
Stagger and fall on my muddy tent
Well I picked them up, brushed them off
To see what they say
And you wouldn't believe
"Come around to my room, with the tooth in the middle
And bring along the bottle and a president"
And eh sometimes it's not so easy, baby
Especially when your only friend
Talks, sees, looks and feels like you
And you do just the same as him
(Gets very lonely up this road, baby)
(Yeah, hmm, yeah)
(Got more to say)
Well I'm riding through LA (huh)
On a bicycle built for a fool
And I seen one of my old buddies
And he say, "You don't look the way you usually do"
I say, "Well, some people look like a coin-box"
He says, "Looks like you have got no coins to spare"
And I laid back and I thought to myself, and I said this
I just picked up my pride from underneath the pay phone
And combed this breath right out of my hair
And eh sometimes it's not so easy
Especially when your only friend
Talks, sees, looks and feels like you
And you do just the same as him
I just got out of a Scandinavian jail
And I'm on my way straight home to you
But I feel so dizzy, I take a quick look in the mirror
To make sure my friend's here with me too
And you know good well I don't drink coffee
So you fill my cup full of sand
And the frozen tea leaves on the bottom
Cherry lipstick around the broken edge
And my coat that you let your dog lay by the fire on
And your cat he attacks me from his pill-box ledge
And I thought you were my friend too
Man, my shadow comes in line before you
I'm finding out that it's not so easy, baby
Especially when your only friend
Talks, sees, looks and feels like you
And you do the same just like him
(Lord it's so lonely here, hmm, yeah)
Yeah!
(Pass me that bottle over there)
Yeah, yeah, okay
Straight Ahead lyrics - Jimi Hendrix
Hello my friend
So happy to see you again
I was so alone
All by myself I just couldn't make it
Have you heard baby
What the wind's blowin' 'round
Have you heard baby
A whole lot a people's coming right on down
Communication, yeah, is coming on strong
I don't give a damn baby
If your hair is short or long
I said get out of your grave
Oh, everybody is dancing in the street
Do what you know
Do not be slow
You got to practice what you preach
Yeah, because it is time for you and me
Come to face reality
Forget about the past baby
Things ain't what they used to be
Keep on straight ahead
Keep on straight ahead
Straight ahead baby
Straight ahead baby
Whoo!
We got to stand side by side
We got to stand together and organize
Send power to the people, that's what they're screaming
Freedom of the soul
Pass it on, pass it on, to the young and the old
You got to tell the children the truth
They don't need a whole lot of lies
Because one of these days, baby
They'll be running things
So when you give them love
You better give it right
Woman and child, man and wife
The best love to have is the love of life
Hello my friend
It's so good to see you again
Hey now I've been all by myself
I don't think I can make it alone
Astro Man lyrics - Jimi Hendrix
Here I come to save the day
A little boy inside a dream just the other day
His mind fell out of his face, and the wind blew it away
A hand came out from Heaven and pinned a badge on his chest
It said, "Get out there, man, and a-do your best"
Uh
They call him "Astro Man"
And he is flying higher than
That old faggot Superman
Ever could
Oh, they call him "Cosmic Nut"
And he's twice as dense as Donald Duck
And he will try his best to screw you up
The rest of your mind
Oh, look out, my guitars!
Astro man
Flying across the sky
Ten times higher
Then that old faggot Superman
Ever, ever could
Ever could
There he goes, there he goes
Where he stops? No one knows
There he goes, there he goes, uh
He is trying to, trying to blow out the rest of your mind
He's gonna blow out the rest of your mind
Talking about looking for peace of mind
Astro man will leave it in pieces
Have you put our trouble behind him
Make you fly around in pieces
Yeah, blow out the rest of your mind
Astro man will blow out the rest of your mind
He's gonna blow out the rest of your mind
Wu-hu, yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Blow out the rest of your mind
Angel lyrics - Jimi Hendrix
Angel came down from Heaven yesterday
She stayed with me just long enough to rescue me
And she told me a story yesterday
About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea
And then she spread her wings high over me
She said she is gonna come back tomorrow
And I said, "Fly on, my sweet angel
Fly on through the sky
Fly on, my sweet angel
Tomorrow, I'm gonna be by your side"
Sure enough, this morning came on to me
Silver-winged, silhouetted against a child's sunrise
And my angel, she said unto me
"Today is the day for you to rise
Take my hand, you are gonna be my man, you are gonna rise"
And then she took me high over yonder
And I said, "Fly on, my sweet angel
Fly on through the sky
Fly on, my sweet angel
Forever I will be by your side"
In From The Storm lyrics - Jimi Hendrix
Well I, I just came back today
I just came back from the storm
Yeah
I said, I just came back, baby
I just came back from the storm
Yeah, from the storm
Well, I did not know it then
But I was suffering, suffering
For my love to keep me warm
It was so cold and lonely, yeah
The wind and crying blue rain
Were tearing me up
It was so cold and lonely, yeah
The wind and crying blue rain
Were tearing me up
I want to thank you, my sweet darling
For digging in the mud and picking me up
Thank you so much
It was a crying blue rain, the burning my eyes
The wind and lightning struck by surprise
It was you, my love, who brought me in
I love you so much
I'll never stray from you again
Hey
I just came back today
I just came back to get my baby on her way
Yeah, yeah
Belly Button Window lyrics - Jimi Hendrix
Well, I'm up here in this womb
I'm looking all around
Well, I am looking out my belly button window
And I see a whole lot of frowns
And I am wondering if they don't want me around
What seems to be the fuss out there?
Just what seems to be the hang?
Because you know if you just do not want me this time around
Yeah, I will be glad to go back to spirit land
And even take a longer rest
Before I am coming down the chute again
Man, I sure remember the last time, baby
They were still hawking about me then
So if you don't want me now
Make up your mind, where or when
If you don't want me now
Give or take, you only got two hundred days
Because I ain't coming down this way too much more again
You know they got pills for ills and thrills and even spills
But I think you are just a little too late
So I'm coming down into this world, daddy
Regardless of love and hate
And I'm gonna sit up in your bed, mama
And just grin right in your face
And then I'm gonna eat up all your chocolates
And say, "I hope I'm not too late!"
So if there is any questions
Make up your mind
Because you better give or take
Questions in your mind
Give it or take
You only got two hundred days
Well, I'm up here in this womb
Looking all around, sure is dark in here
I'm looking out my belly button window
And I swear I see nothing but a lot of frowns
And I'm wondering if they want me around

Have you ever been (Have you ever been?)
To Electric Ladyland?
The magic carpet waits for you
So don't you be late, oh

Electric woman waits for you and me

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
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

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
Hang on, hang on if you want to go
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
That uh, it will be tomorrow
You know what I'm talking about
(Ain't no telling)
Whoa yeah
Hope it will be, hope it will be tomorrow
(Ain't no telling)
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
Well, you got me floating 'round and 'round
Always up, you never let me down
The amazing thing, you turn me on naturally
And I kiss you when I please
You got me floating 'round and 'round
(Got me floating, 'round and 'round)
You got me floating never down
(Hey! Touch the ceiling babe)
You got me floating naturally
(Got me floating, naturally)
You got me floating float to please
(Yeah, now you)
You got me floating across and through
You make me float right on up to you
There's only one thing
I need to really get me there
Is to hear you laugh without a care
What I say now
You got me floating 'round and 'round
(Hey! 'Round and 'round)
You got me floating never down
(Got me floating. Whoa, hey!)
You got me floating naturally
(Got me floating, naturally)
You got me floating float to please

You got me floating float to please
Now your daddy's cool
And your mama's no fool
They both know

And when the day melts
Down into a sleepy red glow
That's when my desires start to show
You got me floating
(Hey! Hey!)
You got me floating
(Got me floating)
You got me floating
(Touch the sky)
You got me floating
(Got me floating)
You got me floating
(Yeah, hey-hey)
You got me floating
(Got me floating yeah)
You got me floating
(Yeah! Hey!)
You got me floating
(I told you)
You got me floating
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
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

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)

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)

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, 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
Foxy
You know you're a cute little heart-breaker

I won't do you no harm, no
You've got to be all mine, all mine
Ooh, foxy lady
Now I see you, heh, are down on the scene
Foxy
You make me want to get up and scream
Foxy
Ah, baby listen now

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
I won't do you no harm, no
You've got to be all mine, all mine
Foxy lady

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
Changes lyrics - Jimi Hendrix
"Buddy Miles is going to do this thing he wrote called 'Them Changes'"
Well my mind is going through them changes
I feel just like I'm in the time
Every time you see me going some where
I feel like I'm going out of my mind, yeah

And that's the reason why she had to part
It's alright yeah, yeah

Day Tripper lyrics - Jimi Hendrix
Day tripper
Yeah
Um ah um ah
I got a good reason, for taken the easy way out
I got a good reason, for taken the easy way out now
She was a day tripper
She was a day tripper, yeah
One way ticket, yeah
One way ticket, yeah
It took so long to find out, I found out
Shes a big teaser
She let me half the way down
Shes a big teaser
She let me half the way down
She was a day tripper
Tripping bright and gay
It took so long to find out, I found out
Oh, can you hear me now
Yeah
I try to please her
She only played one that stands
I try to please her
She only played one that stands
She was a day tripper
The day tripper, yeah
Was a one way ticket
One way ticket, yeah
It took so long to find out, I found out
Oh, I found out
You're out of your mind
Day tripper
I got a good reason
I got a good reason
Yeah

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
