Put Your Rubbers On
Verse 1
Saw my baby on a Saturday
Said "what's the chances you'll come out to play?"
She said "the weather calls for rain today"
"You're gonna get wet if you're meanin' to stay."
"you're gonna get soakin' like a drownin' rat"
"and if I come you'll be thankin' me for that"
Chorus
Put your rubbers on
Put your rubbers on
Put your rubbers on
Put your rubbers on
'cause when you're pokin' 'round my swamp
and you're feelin' like a romp
Put your rubbers on.
Verse 2
Walked to the bayou lookin' for my boat
She said " I hope you swim 'cause it won't float!
The gators ate the oars and floorboards too.
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
She said it's pourin' down, you'd better come inside"
"So get prepared before we take that ride and"
Chorus
Put your rubbers on
Put your rubbers on
Put your rubbers on
Put your rubbers on
'cause when you're pokin' 'round my swamp
and you're feelin' like a romp
Put your rubbers on.

Long Road
As I watched the miles go by,
some made me laugh some made me cry.
And now before I die
I'll send a message off to you.
You've been there for most of it.
You gave your everything to it.
Not just for me but for everyone.
It's what you always do.
So many people never land.
They only want a helping hand.
They won't reciprocate the love
that oozes out of you.
The journey's long, it's always been.
The many things these eyes have seen.
Who knew that most would be obscene?
But you're one of the chosen few.
I'll put my message in a jar,
seal the lid and throw it far
into the sea and watch it drift.
A message just for you.

Eyes of the Morning
Words and Music – David Edwin Townson, Ken Paialunga, Gary Maclennan (C) 1972
Verse 1
Can you hear me knocking softly,
on your window nightly girl?
Don’t you know I love you madly,
Don’t you know I need you?
Verse 2
Can you hear me ringing daily
On your telephone my girl
Don’t you know I need you badly
Don’t you know I love you
Bridge
‘cause when I look into your eyes,
I sense a certain kind of high
You know its just your eyes …
Eyes of the morning.
(Solo)
Verse 3
Can you see me crying softly,
Sitting here all by myself.
Don’t you know I miss you badly
Don’t you know I miss you
Bridge
‘cause when I look into your eyes,
I sense a certain kind of high
You know its just your eyes …
Eyes of the morning.

Reggae Sun
Words and music Agasse/Townson
There’s a place where I can go.
In my mind it makes it so.
Down in Jamaica,
Near Kingston town.
I want you all to come with me.
We’ll have fun down by the sea.
Down in Jamaica,
At Kingston town.
I just try to get my fill.
I don’t think I ever will.
A little more but I’m still not done.
Lying’ in the Reggae Sun.
Lying in the sun.
(Guitar Solo by Gary Maclennan)
I’m just tryin' to get my fill.
I don’t think I ever will.
A little more but I’m still not done.
Lying’ in the Reggae Sun.
Lying in the sun.
Use your mind and come along,
Every time you hear this song.
Go to Jamaica,
To Kingston town.
Just relax and you’ll get there.
Lots of sunshine and fresh air.
Down in Jamaica,
Near Kingston town.
(Guitar Solo by David Edwin Townson)

Mikey Plays the Blues
Was layin' low down in Vancouver
When Mikey said "I gotta move"
So he went down to the island
Said he's finally found his groove.
Now he spends all day in heaven
Says there's nothin' left to lose.
When the sun sets on the west coast,
you know it's time for blues.
And no-one knows better that Mikey,
he always wears those shoes.
So if you want some inspiration,
just go see Mikey play the Blues.
Well the sun's gone down on the west coast.
It's high time for the Blues.
Headin' down to Granville.
Gonna pay my dues.
Lord knows I need some inspiration
from someone in those shoes.
Yea I need some inspiration
and Mikey’s playin' blues

Things Have Changed
Things have changed
You bit the hand that feeds you
Things have changed
and noone needs you
I saw it in your eyes
as it took you by surprise
Things have changed
You thought you were the one
The one who wrote this song
But now you're by yourself
You've been put back on the shelf
I can hear it in the lies
That led to your demise
Things have changed

David Edwin Townson.
Guitar player / Vocalist, music composer and lyricist.
I cut my teeth playing the club
circuits of Canada where I jammed with the likes of Loverboy, Jeff Healey, several members of one of Brian Adams early bands Sweeney Todd, the Ink Spots, Chilliwack and Ruth Pointer of the Pointer Sisters.
Great times indeed. Here are some of my latest tunes. Stay tuned for the next album.

David Edwin Townson recommends:
Here is an album that has waited half a century to be produced and released. On the 50th anniversary of the formation of Chakra; "50 Years Later" is a great piece of work from some talented players.
