1
(Words and Music by Joan Baez)
2
At night in the safety of shadows and numbers
3
Seeking some turf on which nothing encumbers
4
The buying and selling of casual looks
5
Stuff that gets printed in x-rated books
6
Your mother might have tried to understand
7
When you were hardly your daddy's little man
8

10
Finely plucked eyebrows and skin of satin
11
Smiling seductive and endlessly Latin
12
Olympic body on dancing feet
13
Perfume thickening the air like heat
14
A transient star of gay bar fame
15
You quit your job and changed your name

17

18
The seven foot black with the emerald ring
19
Broke up a fight without saying a thing
20

21
To send Jimmy Baldwin back over to France
22
And a trucker with kids and a wife
23
Prefers to spend half of his life
24
In early Bohemian motif
25
Playing pool and getting relief
26
My favorite couple was looking so fine
27
Dancing in rhythm and laughing in rhyme
28
In the light of the jukebox all yellow and blue
29
Holding each other as young lovers do
30
To me they will always remain
31
Unshamed, untamed, and unblamed
32
The altar boy and the thief
33
Grabbing themselves some relief
34
The altar boy and the thief
35
Catching a little relief
