01Borrowed Courage2:52
[Verse 1] Joe said straighten up your collar Ray said watch the way you stand Eddie said a certain woman Likes a very certain man They gave me seven fine expressions They rehearsed them in the hall But when she turned around to see me I couldn't find a word at all [Chorus] Borrowed courage, carry me Just as far as I can see Past the table, past the chair To the girl who's standing there When I ask her, let it be Something coming out of me Borrowed courage, get me started Then the rest is up to me [Verse 2] I said I didn't have a speech I said I didn't know the tune I said I'd like to dance a little If she'd care to leave some room She smiled and said she'd been expecting An invitation quite a while And all the boys behind the curtain Could be seen for half a mile [Bridge] Now I can see young Eddie He's got a girl across the floor I'll give him back the help he gave me He won't need it anymore [Final Chorus] Borrowed courage, carry me Just as far as I can see Past the table, past the chair To the girl who's standing there When I ask her, let it be Something coming out of me Borrowed courage, get me started Then the rest is up to me

02You Can't Clap With One Hand2:57
[Verse 1] She used to tell me every little thing The price of eggs, a cousin's wedding ring I nodded at the paper in my chair As though her voice was always waiting there One day she finished talking rather soon I heard the little clock across the room And when I asked what she was thinking of She said, the same old things you're tired of [Chorus] You can't clap with one hand Can't make a dance alone Can't keep a song between you If you leave one voice at home She can give you all her loving You can call yourself her man But love is asking for an answer You can't clap with one hand [Verse 2] I took the paper off my evening face I pulled my chair into a different place I asked about the cousin and the ring She laughed and said I'd missed most everything We didn't mend a year in half an hour But she told me where she'd bought a flower And I could hear the things I hadn't heard The woman I had missed in every word [Bridge] Tell me something foolish Tell me something small I thought I knew the whole of you I wasn't listening at all [Final Chorus] You can't clap with one hand Can't make a dance alone Can't keep a song between you If you leave one voice at home She can give you all her loving You can call yourself her man But love is asking for an answer You can't clap with one hand
