Bluegrass Lyrics - 10997 tunes ============= 1 ================ Emmylou Harris - $1000 Wedding It was a $1000 wedding supposed to be held the other day and With all the invitations sent The young bride went away When the groom saw people passing notes Not unusual, he might say But where are the flowers for my baby? I'd even like to see her mean old mama And why ain't there a funeral, if you're gonna act that way? I hate to tell you how he acted when the news arrived He took some friends out drinking and it's lucky they survived Well, he told them everything there was to tell there along the way And he felt so bad when he saw the traces of old lies still on their faces So why don't someone here just spike his drink Why don't you do him in some old way Supposed to be a funeral It's been a bad, bad day The Reverend Dr. William Grace Was talking to the crowd All about the sweet child's holy face and The saints who sung out loud And he swore the fiercest beasts could all be put to sleep the same silly way And where are the flowers for the girl? She only knew she loved the world And why ain't there one lonely horn and one sad note to play?

He was tired of being poor, And he wasn't into selling door to door, And he worked like the devil to be more. A different kind of poverty now upsets me so. Night after sleepless night, I walk the floor and I want to know Why am I so alone? Where is my woman can I bring her home? Have I driven her away? Is she gone? Morning comes to sunrise and I'm driven to my bed. I see that it is empty and there's devils in my head. I embrace the many colored beast. I grow weary of the torment, can there be no peace? And I find myself just wishing that my life would simply cease. ============= 39 ================ Dolly Parton - 4-0-33 lyrics Duet by Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner Writer Earl Montgomery Well the two new people that's moved to the middle of the block And we're at the top of the town and don't you think we're not Well we found love and happiness people envy us you see For we found heaven right here on earth at 4-0-33 Yes we found what most people are looking for And it's not a lotta money to spend on real fine car But it's so when and where a bird flies and sings so free And there's whole lotta winds in this little house at 4-0-33 Four thousandth block proves what true love can do Once a lonely place but was sold to me and you Oh all around the house you can see little children play But they're not as a people's kids were proud to say They are the symbol of our love for all the world to see They're a part of heaven right here on earth at 4-0-33 Our love's on the day you can see many people drive by For look at the house they think there from the sky They think this place would make them as happy as you and me And the whole town's tryin' to buy our house at 4-0-33 Four thousandth block proves what true love can do...

Well my daddy left home when I was three Didn't leave much for me and me Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze Now I don't blame him 'cause he run and hid But the meanest thing that he ever did Was before he left he went and named me Sue 2. Well he must have thought it was quite a joke And it got lot of loughs from lot of folks And it seems I have to fight my whole life through Some gal would giggle and I'd get red And some guy'd lough and I'd bust his head I tell ya, life ain't easy for boy named Sue 3. Well I grew up quick and grew up mean My fists got hard and my wits got keen I roamed from town to town to hide my shame But I made me a vow to the moon and stars I'd search the honky-tonks and bars And kill that man who'd gave me that awful name 4. Well it was Gatlingburg in mid-July And I'd just hit town and my throat was dry I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew At an old saloon on a street of mud There at a table dealing stus Sat the dirty mangy dog that named me Sue 5. Well I knew that snake was my own sweet dad From a wornout picture that my mother'd had And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye He was big and bent and gray and old And I looked at him and my blood ran cold And I said: My name is Sue, how do you do? Now You gonna die! Yeah, that's what I told him! 6. Well I hit him hard right between the eyes He went down but to my surprise He came up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear But I busted a chair right across his teeth And we crashed through the wall and into the street Kicking and gonging in the mud and the blood and the beer 7. I tell you I fought tougher men But I really can't remember when He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss He went for his guns and I pulled mine first He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile 8. And he said: Son this world is rough And if man's going to make it he's gonna be tough' And I knew I wouldn't be there to help you along So I gave you that name and I said good-bye I knew you'd have to get tough or die And it's that name it's help to make you strong 9. He said: You fought one hell of a fight And I know you hate me and you got the right To kill me now and I wouldn't blame you if you do But you ought to thank me before I die For the gravel in your guts and the spit in your eye For I'm the nut that named you Sue Yeah, what could I do? 10. I got all choked up and I threw down my gun I called him my pa and me called me his son And I came away with a different point of view And I think about him now and then Every time I try and every time I win And if I ever have a son I think I'm going to name him, well, I ain't gonna name him Sue! I'm gonna call him Johnny Cash! FLATT & SCRUGGS - Final Fling ============= 69 ================ A Broken Tie I was born in the heart of the country In a town in the middle of the land I grew up in a second city Since I left my home I've been travellin' back. To a time when a family tried to stay together Back to the time when a love survived When a woman and a man built a home forever And they tied a knot for the rest of their lives. My brother's gone to New York City And I find myself in a corner of the west My mom and daddy left their home and each other Ten miles apart, more apart than the rest. I'm singing songs of the poor and the homeless I'm singing songs of a love that died But my saddest song is the song of a family A million miles apart with a broken tie. ============= 70 ================ Richard Thompson -

His restless eyes leap and scratch, At all that they can touch or catch, And hidden deep within his pocket, Safe within its silent socket, He holds a colored crayon. Now from the tunnel's stony womb, The carriage rides to meet the groom, And opens wide and welcome doors, But he hesitates, then withdraws Deeper in the shadows. And the train is gone suddenly On wheels clicking silently Like a gently tapping litany, And he holds his crayon rosary Tighter in his hand. Now from his pocket quick he flashes, The crayon on the wall he slashes, Deep upon the advertising, A single worded poem comprised Of four letters. And his heart is laughing, screaming, pounding The poem across the tracks rebounding Shadowed by the exit light His legs take their ascending flight To seek the breast of darkness and be suckled by the night. ============= 185 ================ Richard Thompson - A Poisoned Heart And A Twisted Memory Lyrics Oh, you took my word and you took my key You took my pride and you took my dignity How can I still pretend To be what a man should be Well, whatever I say is in a book Whatever I do there's someone there to look You just can't shake a man The way that I've been shook Now is this the way it's supposed to be Is this the way it's supposed to be A poisoned heart and a twisted memory Oh, is this the way it's supposed to be Is this the way it's supposed to be A poisoned heart and a twisted memory Oh, see that lifer doing his time If I could have his place and he'd have mine We'd be no better off On either side of the line Well, you took my job and you put me to sleep You feed me money, you treat me like a creep Wish I could get away But I must be in it too deep Tell me is this the way it's supposed to be Is this the way it's supposed to be A poisoned heart and a twisted memory Oh, is this the way it's supposed to be Is this the way it's supposed to be A poisoned heart and a twisted memory Well, you tell me you're going to get in touch You send me a letter that reads like double Dutch You say, you're bound to lose You're a little such and such You got my number, you got my rank You drained my head, you drained my petrol tank And when I die of shame I won't even know who to thank Now, now, is this the way it's supposed to be Is this the way it's supposed to be A poisoned heart and a twisted memory Oh, is this the way it's supposed to be Is this the way it's supposed to be A poisoned heart and a twisted memory ============= 186 ================ A Poor Man's Woman Written and recorded by Jeanne Pruett C C7 I'd rather be a poor man's woman F C And be all he has in life Than to be just one more possession G7 C In a lonely rich man's life C7 When I wake up he's beside me F C After years love's still the same I watch his blue eyes quietly open G7 C I hear his two lips call my name Repeat #1 C7 Lord my poor man really loves me F C I'm all he has to his name But when he holds me closer to him G7 C That means more to me than fortune or fame Repeat #1 ============= 187 ================ A Pretty Diamond Ring Recorded by T.J.

But suddenly it happened, I lost every dime, But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind. Money can't buy back your youth when you're old Or a friend when you're lonesome or a love that's grown cold; The wealthiest person is a pauper at times Compared to the man with a satisfied mind. When life is over, my time has run out, My friends and my loved ones I'll leave, there's no doubt. But one thing for certain, when it comes my time, I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind. ============= 204 ================ A Seed Before the Rose recorded by Tommy Overstreet written by Ricci Mareno and Jerry Gillespie G C D7 G We were both so young and impatient at the time C A7 We thought we were in love so we closed our minds D7 G When they told us C D7 G Love is like a rose it doesn't just appear C A7 Give it time to grow or it ends with tears D7 G C D7 G There's gotta be a se-ed before the rose C Am B7 EM Tender loving care makes it sweeter as it grows C D7 G C D7 G There's gotta be l-ove before the tie is bound C Am B7 C Or the rose will end with petals on the ground G C D7 G But we paid no mind to the things that we had been told C A7 And we pledged our love with a band of gold D7 On our fingers G C D7 G Now when I look back all that I can see C A7 Is heartache and regret and it's clear to me repeat #2 ============= 205 ================ Nanci Griffith - A Simple Life [Chorus:] I want a simple life Like my mother One true love for my older years I don't want your wars To take my children I want a simple life... while I'm here The sun and moon walk hand in hand together Trading places shining on the truth The moon moves the bottoms of the oceans So, the sun can bring a farmer's hands to you [Chorus:] We all seek comfort in the light of day And our tears can wash off in the rain Everything we need is all around us In simple time and simple ways Mother nature talks Whispering her thoughts So the paths we choose to cross Walk one more day [Chorus:] ============= 206 ================ Richard Thompson - A Solitary Life Lyrics Sometimes I long for the solitary life Parents long gone, no kids, no wife Sister, somewhere in Australia Never did keep in touch Sex, no more than a, how do you do?

It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw I've come to look for America." Laughing on the bus. Playing games with the faces, She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy. I said, "Be careful his bowtie is really a camera." "Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat." "We smoked the last one an hour ago." So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine And the moon rose over an open field "Kathy, I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping. "I'm empty and aching and I don't know why."

I bowed my head, closed my eyes and said "Yes son, I think I do" Tonight I dare you to dream Go on, believe impossible things Whenever anybody says there's anything we can't do Cause after all, there's an American flag on the moon Oh, in two hundred years Think about all that we've done so far I don't see any reason why tomorrow can't be ours Tonight I dare you to dream Go on, believe impossible things Whenever anybody says there's anything we can't do Cause after all, after all, There's an American flag on the moon (On the moon) ============= 480 ================ American Made Recorded by the Oak Ridge Boys Written by Bob Dipiero and Pat Mcmanus G C G Seems everything I buy these days has got a foreign name C D7 From the kind of car I drive to my video game C G I got a Nikkon camera a Sony color TV C D7 G But the one that I love is from the U.S.A. and standing next to me My baby is American Made D7 Born and bred in the U.S.A.

Ah, but I'm all right, I'm all right. I'm just weary to my bones. Still you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant, so far away from home, so far away from home. And I don't know a soul who's not been battered. I don't have a friend who feels at ease. I don't know a dream that's not been shattered, or driven to its knees. Ah, but it's all right. It's all right. For we've lived so well so long. Still, when I think of the road we're travelin' on, I wonder what's gone wrong. I can't help but wonder what's gone wrong. And I dreamed I was dying. I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly, and looking back down at me, smiled reassuringly. And I dreamed I was flying, and high up above my eyes could clearly see the Statue of Liberty sailing away to sea. And I dreamed I was flying. And we come on the ship they call the Mayflower. We come on the ship that sailed the moon. We come in the age's most uncertain hours, and sing an American tune. Oh, and it's all right, it's all right, it's all right. You can't be forever blessed. Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day and I'm tryin' to get some rest; that's all - I'm trying to get some rest. ============= 483 ================ The Chicks - Am I the Only One (Who's Ever Felt This Way) There is no good reason I should have to be so alone I'm smothered by this emptiness Lord I wish I was made of stone Like a fool I lent my soul to love And it paid me back in change God help me am I the only one Who's ever felt this way? A heart that's worn and weathered Would know better than to fight But I wore mine like a weapon Played out love like a crime And it wrung me out and strung me out And it hung years on my face God help me, am I the only Who's ever felt this way? Now my sense of humor needs a break I see a shadow in the mirror And she's laughin' through her tears One more smile's all I can fake There is a wound inside me And it's bleeding like a flood There are times when I see a light ahead Hope is not enough As another night surrounds me And it pounds me like a wave God help me, am I the only one Who's ever felt this way?

Sweet dreams can't be recalled High hopes collapse and fall As the sky keeps turning Sadder shades of blue. The strongest promise Finally breaks And only leads to bigger aches Are lessons that I learned At sorrow's school.

"Gentlemen," I said, "I've studied the maps, and if what I am thinking is right, There's another new world, at the top of the world, for whoever can break through the ice," I looked 'round the room, in that way I once had, and I saw that they wanted belief, So I said, "All I've got are my guts and my God," then I paused, "and the Annabel Lee." Oh, the Annabel Lee, I saw their eyes shine, the most beautiful ship in the sea, My Nina, my Pinta, my Santa Maria, my beautiful Annabel Lee That spring we set sail, and the crowd waved from shore, and on board the sailors waved caps, But I'd never had family, just the Annabel Lee, so I never had cause to look back. I just studied the charts, set the course north, and towards dark I drifted toward sleep, And I dreamed of the fine, deep harbor I'd find past the ice, for my Annabel Lee. After that it got colder, and the world got quiet. It was never quite day or quite night. And the sea turned the color of sky turned the color of sea turned the color of ice. After that all around us was vastness, one glassy desert of arsenic white, And the waves that once lifted us, shifted instead into drifts against Annabel's sides. And the crew gathered closer, at first for the comfort, but each morning would bring a new set Of tracks in the snow, leading over the edge of the world, til I was the only one left. And as the going got slower, colder and colder, my crew drifted closer to me, At first for the comfort, but then it was more like the icebergs rammed Annabel Lee As the floes shrieked her hull, the shouting began, and a mast snapped off in the wind, And I woke up much later, my crew disappeared, and they never were heard from again After that it gets cloudy, But it feels like I laid there for days, or maybe for months But Annabel held me, the two of us happy, Just to think back on all we had done I told her {We talked) of the other new worlds We'd discover as she gave up her body to me, As I chopped up her mainsail for timber, I told her of all that we still had to see. As the ice {frost} turned her moorings To nine-tails and the wind lashed her sides in the cold, I burned her to keep me alive every night in the loving embrace of her hold. I can't {won't} call it rescue, What brought me back here to this old world to drink and decline, Pretend that the search for another new world was well worth the burning of mine. But sometimes at night, in my dreams, Comes the singing of some unheard tropical bird, And I smile in my sleep, Thinking Annabel Lee's finally made it to the top of the world. Yeah, sometimes at night in my dreams comes the singing of some unheard tropical bird, And I smile in my sleep, thinking Annabel Lee's finally found another new world. ============= 562 ================ Alison Krauss - Another Night (Jack Adkins) Wind is blowin' 'round the cabin I hate to hear that lonesome sound I'm all alone and so downhearted Since my true love she ain't around I hate to see that sun a sinkin' Another night to toss and turn Another night to dream about her Another night for her I yearn She had no cause to go and leave me For I had never done her wrong She left our own little children Now with another man she's gone I hate to see that sun a sinkin' Another night to toss and turn Another night to dream about her Another night for her I yearn Children they are sound asleepin' Oh they don't know that their mother's gone What will I do when they awaken?

Favour Lyrics Got her ducks all in a row Got her bags all packed to go She'll find some other poor pilgrim who's braver At least she looked me in the eye With her less than fond goodbye That's one small thing in her favour Got the kids in the car Dreams will get you just so far Then life gives you bitter pills to savour Still she kissed me once more As she gently slammed the door That's another small thing in her favour She said she felt bad For the home that we had And the effort I'd wasted to save her She told me as much As she slowly let out the clutch That's another small thing in her favour It's a slippery slope To give her more rope And I didn't exactly enslave her And she says I'm still a part Of her wandering heart That's another small thing in her favour Now there's trouble and strife But we once had a life For a while our vows didn't waver I relied on her smile And her love, for a while That's another small thing in her favour That's another small thing in her favour

me A diamond ring I owned I gave you A diamond ring to wear on your right hand But the vows you made, love, you went and broke them And married the lassie that had the land" "If I'd married the lassie that had the land, my love It's that I'll rue till the day I die When misfortune falls sure no man can shun it I was blindfolded I'll ne'er deny" Now at nights when I go to my bed of slumber The thoughts of my true love run in my mind When I turned around to embrace my darling Instead of gold sure it's brass I find And I wish the Queen would call home her army From the West Indies, Amerikay and Spain And every man to his wedded woman In hopes that you and I will meet again. ============= 663 ================ As If I Didn't Know Recorded by Lee Greenwood Written by Mel Tillis and Hal

her to the sea for the first time Now they're under, under, underneath a big umbrella Summer, summer, summer time to help us forget, nine to fives We have got to leave all that behind I have worries to give to the sea We can walk dear the pier is farther than it seems Midnight at the shoreline, fireworks above us A screaming bloom They're sent by some teenager and kid whoever you are I am thanking you Now we're dancing, dancing, dancing with no music What is happening, happening, happening and no feelings Except this is right We just had to leave all that behind ============= 691

seems to fall on it's face Well, I'm alright through the day but the day fades away At the end of a long lonely day Another day wishing you were here I dread each lonely night Lord their filled with tears Oh how I've cried yes I've cried and these tears I can't hide At the end of a long lonely day At the end of the day I go back to my room And watch as the sun fades away And the loneliness there

there and cry At the end of a long lonely day * Refrain ============= 695 ================ At the End of the Day Yonder Mountain String Band Many times I've been out in the cold lonely world, with my heart full of sorrow and pain. Then I sing an old familiar song of the place I belong, and my mind starts to think of home again. So many miles and so many roads, so many people who don't even know my name. So many times I've looked to western skies, and nowhere I go is quite the same as that sweet home waiting for me, at the end of the day. Now my feet grow tired and the wind grows wild and the road never seems to end. My mind races on, but the sunlight she is gone, thoughts of home start to fill my head. So many miles and so many roads, so many people who don't even know my name. So many times I've looked to western skies, and nowhere I go is quite the same as that sweet home waiting for me, at the end of the day. And it's too much confusion and too many lies, too many times my heart has been broken right in two. I've shed too many tears thinking about those times; cried too many rivers over you... Now the light up ahead it means that I am near, I can smell the woodsmoke in the air. And when I go back out again and I long to return, my old home, I know she'll be there. So many miles and so many roads, so many people who don't even know my name. So many times I've looked to western skies, and nowhere I go is quite the same as that sweet home waiting for me, at the end of the day. ============= 696 ================ At The First Fall Of Snow I talked with a stranger so sad and forlorn His garments were sack cloth all tattered and torn He told me a story of sorrow and woe His heart went to heaven at the first fall of snow He spoke of his angel a dear baby girl He loved every footstep he loved every curl But she went to heaven just one year ago The angels came for her at the first fall of snow He still had the dolly that she use to love he held and caressed it and gazed up above he whispered my baby you're waiting I know I'll bring you your dolly at the first fall of snow And there as I listened my eyes filled with tears I know she was part of his happier years His frail bady trembled he spoke soft and low I'll be with my darling at the first fall of snow I just couldn't tell him how felt inside I patted his shoulder my feeling to hide He sniled as we parted cause he didn't know That we lost our darling at the first fall of snow ============= 697 ================ The Incredible String Band - At The Lighthouse Dance Waiting for the queen to come, waiting for her to show up While out on the rocks all the ships Were sinking we laughed as the dance began Oh, how we danced at the lighthouse dance Stepped outside took a look, shook the sweat felt madly sad I was dreaming of angels, I saw the ships sinking But one pulled in, I asked the sea captain tell me where you've been He turned his gaze into the days and he showed me this movie Oh, do you dance, you serenader? Oh, do you die, you masquerader? Oh, do you land, you space invader? I could see the dance through the cracked window pane Alice smiled at me I felt quite lame The dance group played I can't recall their name They played quite well but all their numbers sounded the same Oh, how we danced at the lighthouse dance We danced, I grooved, I sighed, I cried ============= 698 ================ Trampled by Turtles - At Your Window I wake the mornin' wonder, and I'm all lost in the world Of echoed situations and cursory illusion I'm surrounded by forever, but I don't have any time Left to wander in amusement, left to ride, my breath is dyin' But I love you little darlin and I'll love you till I die Like sundown in the valley Or the stars alone at night Through empty bottle alleys You come shinin' like the sun And with your golden fingers You save me from drowning And I love you little darlin' And I'll love you till I die Like sundown in the valley Or the stars alone at night Well life goes on around me Days are riding on the dawn To infuse the world with words It's just your way of talking And I love you little darlin' And I'll love you till I die Like sundown in the valley Or the stars alone at night But I love you little darlin' And I'll love you till I die Like sundown in the valley Or the stars alone at night ============= 699 ================ Atlanta Is Burning - Original Original Version By The Boys From Indiana Three years we've been fighting, though it seems like a hundred. Away to the South is the home I once knew. Where my loved ones are waiting, for word from the captain That the battle has ended for the gray and the blue. I left dear old Georgia on the first day of April. The grass in the valley was just turning green. I married my Sally, just a week before leaving. We now have a baby that I've never seen. She sent me a letter, that told of our baby. He's just like his daddy were the words that she said. But that's been so long now, that it seems like forever. And Lord I'm so homesick I wish I were dead. Atlanta is burning, the horizon is flame. The thunder of cannons in the distance I hear. I think of my Sally, and the son that she gave me. If I could just see her and the baby so dear. A bullet has found me, and the darkness is falling. The pain is unreal and my body's so weak. The captain is calling, but I cannot answer. My thoughts wander Southward as I go to sleep. My thoughts wander Southward as I go to sleep. ============= 700 ================ Lucinda Williams - Atonement Come on, Come on, Come on Kill the rats in the gutter Sings the voice in the choir Bring your Father and your Mother Sing it higher and higher Shake the clammy hand Repeat the 23rd psalm Make you understand Where it was you went wrong Voices from tapes Shouting with twisted tongues Emotional rape Hell fire scorched lungs Come on, Come on, Come on Pay close attention to this Let me give you something good to eat Bite down hard 'til it sticks between your teeth Glory, glory we've killed the beast Blinded by glittery diamonds Resting on crooked fingers Shaded eyes they are the ones Who'll lead you to your deliverance From the figure of doom Force you to understand Lock you in a room With a holy roller and a one man band ============= 701 ================ Auctioneer Recorded by Leroy Van Dyke Written Leroy Van Dyke and Buddy Black Hey well alright sir here we go there And what are ya' gonna give for 'em I have a six hundred dollar down here Now ten and now twenty-five and now thirty-five And now there fifty now sixty Will ya give me sixty now seventy-five Seventy-five another eighty-five dollars Oughta buy 'em there G There was a boy in Arkansas C Who wouldn't listen to his ma D7 G D7 When she told him that he should go to school G He'd sneak away in the afternoon C Take a little walk and then pretty soon D7 G You'd find him at the local auction barn C Well he'd stand and listen carefully G And then pretty soon he began to see A7 D7 How the auctioneer could talk so rapidly G He said oh my it's do or die C I've got to learn that auction cry D7 G Gotta make my mark and be an auctioneer Twenty-five dollar bid it now thirty dollar thirty C Will you gimmie thirty make it thirty D7 G Bid it on a thirty dollar will you gimmie thirty dollar bid Thirty dollar bid it now thirty-five C Will you gimmie thirty-five To make it thirty-five to bid it a thirty-five D7 G Who woulda bid it at a thirty-five dollar bid Well as time went on he did his best C And all could see he didn't jest D7 G D7 He practiced calling bids both night and day G His pop would find him behind the barn C Just a working up an awful storm D7 G As he tried to imitate the auctioneer C His dad said son we just can't G Stand to have a mediocre man A7 D7 Selling things at action using our name G I'll send you off to auction school C And then you'll be nobody's fool D7 G You can take your place among the best Thirty-five dollar bid it now forty dollar forty C Will you gimmie forty make it forty D7 G Bid it on a forty dollar will you gimmie forty dollar bid Forty dollar bid it now forty-five C Will you gimmie forty-five To make it forty-five to bid it a forty-five D7 G Who woulda bid it at a forty-five dollar bid So from that boy who went to school C There grew a man who played it cool D7 G D7 He came back home a full fledged auctioneer G And the people came from miles around C Just to hear him make that rhythmic sound D7 G That fill their hearts with such a happy cheer C His fame spread out from shore to shore G He had all he could do and more A7 D7 Had to buy a plane to get around G Now he's the best in all the land C Let's pause and give that man a hand D7 G He's the best of all the auctioneers Forty-five dollar bid it now fifty dollar fifty C Will you gimmie fifty make it fifty D7 G Bid it on a fifty dollar will you gimmie fifty dollar bid Fifty dollar bid it now fifty-five C Will you gimmie fifty-five To make it fifty-five to bid it a fifty-five D7 G Sold that hog for a fifty dollar bill Hey well alright sir open the gate And let 'em out and walk 'em boys Here we come with lot number 29 in What'd ya gonna give for 'em I have a twenty-five I oughta get thirty-five And now a fifty make it fifty bid it along at fifty Now sixty will ya give me sixty now seventy-five And now eight-five and now nine-five A hundred and now twenty-five And now it's at seventy-five And a two and a three and a four And a five and a six now seven Now eight hundred dollars And a buy 'em there ============= 702 ================ August 15, 1985 The Avett Brothers Jim: Uh, this is August the 15th 1985.

The picture ran for a week or more When I left her lifeless body on the floor. I am a drunken sot, they threw me off a dozen crews My brain's begun to rot, I'm so beholden to the booze And I broke that Liza's neck, well I squeezed her till she breathed no more And I left her lifeless body on the floor. And I don't feel no sympathy And your disgust to me's the highest praise She had it coming, don't you know? 'Cause I got wise to all her little ways. Whores and bitches, all are Riggs'es slaves. There's many I've dispatched, now tell me, was it 8 or 9? I throttled 'em, I stabbed 'em, dissolved 'em in a vat of lime I used to know the names but Liza was the last, the whore And I left her lifeless body on the floor. And you won't get no remorse from me I'm happy as a kitten with the cream I did her and the others too I dare to do what some men only dream. How I love to hear that piercing scream. That Mary was a tramp, oh she used to give the boys a wink I took some souvenirs before I drowned her in the sink I kept her cheating heart and her pretty eyes which I did adore And left her lifeless body on the floor I left her lifeless body on the floor I left her lifeless body, her dirty cheating body I left her lifeless body on the floor. ============= 704 ================ Richard Thompson - Auldie Riggs Dance Lyrics [Instrumental] ============= 705 ================ Aunt Dinah's Quilting Party In the sky the bright stars glittered On the bank the pale moon shone And 'twas from aunt Dinah's quilting party I was seeing Nellie home I was seeing Nellie home I was seeing Nellie home And 'twas from aunt Dinah's quilting party I was seeing Nellie home On my arm a soft hand rested Rested like as ocean foam And 'twas from aunt Dinah's quilting party I was seeing Nellie home On my lips a whisper trembled Trembled till it dared to come And 'twas from aunt Dinah's quilting party I was seeing Nellie home On my life new hopes were dawning And those hopes have lived and grown And 'twas from aunt Dinah's quilting party I was seeing Nellie home ============= 706 ================ Autumn Of My Life In the Spring of my life, she came to me She brought sunshine where winter winds had blown Then I took her for my wife, in the spring of my life And she brought me a joy I never known And the years, they went by in the spring of my life And in summer, she blessed me with a child Love continued to grow, in the summer of my life And in every morning sun I saw her smile But in the autumn of my years, I noticed the tears And I knew our life was in the past Though I tried to pretend, I knew it was the end For the autumn of my life had come at last Now what, what do you say to a child of ten? How do you tell him his daddy's going away? Do I tell him that I reached the autumn of my life And that he'll understand some winter's day?

Sometimes into Ashville, sometimes Memphis town The revenoors chased him but they couldn't run him down Each time they thought they had him, his engine would explode He'd go by like they were standin' still on Thunder Road. Chorus: And there was thunder, thunder over Thunder Road Thunder was his engine, and white lightning was his load There was moonshine, moonshine to quench the Devil's thirst The law they swore they'd get him, but the Devil got him first. On the first of April, nineteen fifty-four A Federal man sent word he'd better make his run no more He said two hundred agents were coverin' the state Whichever road he tried to take, they'd get him sure as fate. Son, his Daddy told him, make this run your last The tank is filled with hundred-proof, you're all tuned up and gassed Now, don't take any chances, if you can't get through I'd rather have you back again than all that mountain dew. Chorus Roarin' out of Harlan, revvin' up his mill He shot the gap at Cumberland, and screamed by Maynordsville With T-men on his taillights, roadblocks up ahead The mountain boy took roads that even Angels feared to tred. Blazing right through Knoxville, out on Kingston Pike, Then right outside of Bearden, they made the fatal strike. He left the road at 90; that's all there is to say. The devil got the moonshine and the mountain boy that day.

I now repent that ever Poor Tom was so disdain-ed My wits are lost since him I crossed Which makes me thus go chained I went down to Satan's kitchen For to get me food one morning And there I got souls piping hot All on the spit a-turning There I took up a caldron Where boiled ten thousand harlots Though full of flame I drank the same To the health of all such varlets My staff has murdered giants My bag a long knife carries For to cut mince pies from children's thighs And feed them to the fairies The spirits white as lightening Would on me travels guide me The stars would shake and the moon would quake Whenever they espied me No gypsy, slut or doxy Shall win my mad Tom from me I'll weep all night, with stars I'll fight The fray shall well become me And when that I'll be murdering The Man in the Moon to the powder His staff I'll break, his dog I'll shake And there'll howl no demon louder So drink to Tom of Bedlam Go fill the seas in barrels I'll drink it all, well brewed with gall And maudlin drunk I'll quarrel For to see Mad Tom of Bedlam Ten thousand years I have traveled Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes For to save her shoes from gravel. ============= 904 ================ Bedtime Comes Earlier At Our House Recorded by Charly McClain Written by Danny Hogan and Butch Carter C G7 Every time every time you lay your body next to mine Then I know you're gonna love me C Like you're never gonna let me go F C G7 C Then we touch then we feel then it's love all over again G7 I don't wake up on the wrong side of the bed C Cause the way you wake me up makes me real glad F We found one love that goes around C G7 C That's why bedtime comes earlier at our house Repeat #1 G7 It's so good to hear you say I love you too C So I take you in my arms then I squeeze you F You've got something I can't live without C G7 C That's why bedtime comes earlier at our house Repeat #2 F C G7 C Then we touch then we feel then it's love all over again ============= 905 ================ Beekeeper Aoife O'Donovan In the middle of everything I started to see You said you were a beekeeper, but I heard no bees I asked you where do you get your honey You said darling I'm a beekeeper, I'm up to my knees.

While riding in my Cadillac, what to my surprise, A little Nash Rambler was following me, about one-third my size. The guy must have wanted to pass me out As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep). I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn. Chorus I pushed my foot down to the floor to give the guy the shake, But the little Nash Rambler stayed right behind, he still had on his brake. He must have thought his car had more guts, As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep). I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn. Chorus My car went in to passing gear and we took off with gust, And soon we were doing ninety, must have left him in the dust. When I peeked in the mirror of my car, I couldn't believe my eyes. The little Nash Rambler was right behind, you'd think that guy could fly. Chorus Now we're doing a hundred and ten, it certainly was a race, For a Rambler to pass a Caddy would be a big disgrace. The guy must have wanted to pass me out as he kept on tooting his horn. I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn. Chorus Now we're doing a hundred and twenty, as fast as I could go. The Rambler pulled alongside of me as if we were going slow. The fellow rolled his window down and yelled for me to hear: "Hey, buddy, how can I get this car out of second gear?"

They called it the Summer of Love They were burning babies, burning flags The hawks against the doves I took a job in the steamie Down on Cauldrum Street And I fell in love with a laundry girl Who was working next to me Oh she was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing So fine a breath of wind might blow her away She was a lost child, oh she was running wild She said, "As long as there's no price on love, I'll stay And you wouldn't want me any other way" Brown hair zig-zag around her face And a look of half-surprise Like a fox caught in the headlights There was animal in her eyes She said, "Young man, oh can't you see I'm not the factory kind If you don't take me out of here I'll surely lose my mind" Oh she was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing So fine that I might crush her where she lay She was a lost child, she was running wild She said, "As long as there's no price on love, I'll stay And you wouldn't want me any other way" We busked around the market towns And picked fruit down in Kent And we could tinker lamps and pots And knives wherever we went And I said that we might settle down Get a few acres dug Fire burning in the hearth and babies on the rug She said "Oh man, you foolish man It surely sounds like hell You might be Lord of half the world You'll not own me as well" Oh she was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing So fine a breath of wind might blow her away She was a lost child, oh she was running wild She said, "As long as there's no price on love, I'll stay And you wouldn't want me any other way" We was camping down the Gower one time The work was pretty good She thought we shouldn't wait for the frost And I thought maybe we should We was drinking more in those days And tempers reached a pitch And like a fool I let her run With the rambling itch Oh the last I heard she's sleeping rough Back on the Derby beat White Horse in her hip pocket And a wolfhound at her feet And they say she even married once A man named Romany Brown But even a gypsy caravan Was too much settling down And they say her flower is faded now Hard weather and hard booze But maybe that's just the price You pay for the chains you refuse Oh she was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing And I miss her more than ever words could say If I could just taste all of her wildness now If I could hold her in my arms today Well I wouldn't want her any other way ============= 912 ================

It took three weeks to reach the mississippi ribbon And he turned south toward new orleans For a boy from the mountains it was easy to get caught up In the sights and sounds of the city And the things he'd never seen. And the river rolls on Like an endless river The sun light glistens on the rocks below He can hear her voice in the rippling water Saying please be home before the cold winds blow. He fell in With a bad companion Said give me your money or I'll take your life Jacob drew his pistol and in less than a heart beat The stranger lay dead on the floor and someone had to pay the price.

you when to stop Would you please charge your glasses with the real pure drop And drink tae the best o' the barley My uncle Jim he served his time on the shores of the Forth as a joiner And three pounds ten a week was all he earned But the wages were better working Michigan pine so he sailed on an ocean liner To build a better life with the trade he'd learned And the shore he reached in twenty-three, the home of the brave, the land of the free Was dry as the devil's tongue on judgment day But to find a dram in a foreign land it's the natural gift of a Falkirk man And Lady Liberty looked the other way Or so I've always heard my uncle say My uncle Jim was a child of his time, and the tricks of the time they were dirty And the dirtiest of all was the one they played On the working man's dollar and the poor man's dime between twenty-nine and thirty For they killed all the steady jobs in the building trade And the only way that Jim could see was to play the game with Lady Liberty Though no one ever told him all the rules And when fainter hearts were homeward bound Jim sold Michigan ice by the pound With a leather sling and an iron hook for tools Just to show the yankees how to keep their cool My uncle Jim he could keep good time when the band played an eightsome reel And he loved to waltz away the summer nights And the spring in his step kept him in his prime through the turns of fortune's wheel As it spun him through the darkness and the light And to dance the jig called history Jim took the hand of the century And he never let her steal a backward glance From the D-Day beaches to the cold lakeshore he whirled her round and round the floor To show her how a Scotsman takes his chance And he never missed a measure of the dance Here's a health to the best o' the barley To Scotland and the best o' the barley ============= 959 ================ Best Of Intentions Written and recorded by Travis Tritt Em C D7 I had big plans for our future Em C G Said I'd

And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl. Then I heard my dream was back Downstream cavortin' in Davenport, And I followed you, Big River, when you called. Then you took me to St. Louis later on (down the river). A freighter said she's been here But she's gone, boy, she's gone. I found her trail in Memphis, But she just walked up the block. She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone. Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on. Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans. Go on, I've had enough; Dump my blues down in the gulf. She loves you, Big River, more than me. Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky. And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River. Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die. ============= 1027 ================ Big Rock Candy Mountain One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fire was burning Down the track came a hobo hiking and he said boys I'm not turning I'm headin for a land that's far away beside the crystal fountains So come with me we'll go and see the Big Rock Candy Mountains In the Big Rock Candy Mountains there's a land that's fair and bright Where the handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night Where the boxcars are all empty and the sun shines every day On the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees Where the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings In the Big Rock Candy Mountains In the Big Rock Candy Mountains all the cops have wooden legs And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay soft boiled eggs The farmer's trees are full of fruit and the barns are full of hay Oh, I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow Where the rain don't fall and the wind don't blow In the Big Rock Candy Mountains In the Big Rock Candy Mountains you never change your socks And the little streams of alcohol come a-trickling down the rocks The brakemen have to tip their hats and the railroad bulls are blind There's a lake of stew and of whiskey too You can paddle all around 'em in a big canoe In the Big Rock Candy Mountains In the Big Rock Candy Mountains the jails are made of tin And you can walk right out again as soon as you are in There ain't no short handled shovels, no axes saws or picks I'm a goin to stay where you sleep all day Where they hung the jerk that invented work In the Big Rock Candy Mountains I'll see you all this coming fall in the Big Rock Candy Mountains ============= 1028 ================ Lucinda Williams - Big Rotator GOD IS THE BIG ROTATOR SPINNIN' THE WORLD LIKE A TOP AND JOHN IS THE REVELATOR WAY UP ON THE MOUNTAINTOP JUSTICE IS THE MOTIVATOR BRINGIN' THE WORLD TO A STOP EVIL IS THE INSTIGATOR BLEEDING THE WORLD DROP BY DROP LIARS ARE VENERATED, LOSERS CONGRATULATED CHEATERS CELEBRATED, THIEVES COMPENSATED VULTURES SATIATED, MURDERERS EXONERATED GUILTY VINDICATED, INNOCENT INCARCERATED GOD IS THE BIG ROTATOR SPINNIN' THE WORLD LIKE A TOP JOHN IS THE REVELATOR WAY UP ON THE MOUNTAINTOP JUSTICE IS THE MOTIVATOR BRINGING THE WORLD TO A STOP EVIL IS THE INSTIGATOR BLEEDING THE WORLD DROP BY DROP WAR IS LEGISLATED, PEACE EVALUATED BOMBS DETONATED, FREEDOM NEGOTIATED ART CONFISCATED, STORIES FABRICATED HISTORY MANIPULATED, TRUTH ERADICATED GOD IS THE BIG ROTATOR SPINNIN' THE WORLD LIKE A TOP JOHN IS THE REVELATOR WAY UP ON THE MOUNTAINTOP JUSTICE IS THE MOTIVATOR BRINGING THE WORLD TO A STOP EVIL IS THE INSTIGATOR BLEEDING THE WORLD DROP BY DROP GOD GOD, UH HUH GOD, UH HUH JOHN JUSTICE EVIL, UH HUH GOD GOD GOD, UH HUH ============= 1029 ================ Bill Monroe - Big Sandy River [Instrumental] ============= 1030 ================ Big Smoky Holler BMI Work #: 8617205 Big Smoky Holler (Larry W.

Sarah she could not see the daylight of reality In her young eyes Billy bore not a flaw Knowing not her chosen one was a hired gun Wanted in Kansas City by the law. Then one day a tall man came riding 'cross the badlands Lying to the North of New Mexico He was over her to say he was lookin' for Bill Grey A ruthless man and a dangerous outlaw. Well, the deadly news came creepin' to Billy fast sleeping There in the Claredon bar and hotel He fled toward the old church, there on the outskirts Thinkin' he'd climb to that old steeple bell. But a rifle ball came flying, face down he lay there dying There in the dust of the road where he fell Sara she ran to him just cursing the law man Accepting no reason knowin' he was killed. Sarah lives in that same old white frame house Where she first met Billy some fifty years ago And wild rose of morning she's faded with the dawning For each day of sorrow the long years have sown. And written on the stone where the dusty winds have long blown Eighteen words to a passing world say "True love knows no season, no rhyme nor no reason Justice is cold as the Cranger County clay."

Not knowing that the Sheriff paid a bounty, For men like me who didn't have a penny to their name. He locked my legs in 35 pounds of Black Jack County Chain. All we had to eat was bread and water, Everyday we had to build his road a mile and a quarter, A Black Snake Whip would sting our backs if some poor fool complained, But we couldn't fight back wearing 35 pounds of Black Jack County Chain. Then one night while the Sheriff lay a sleepin', We all gathered round him slowly creepin', Heaven help me to forget that night in the cold cold rain, When we beat him to death wearing 35 pounds of Black Jack County Chain. The wounds have all healed and I am thankful, And there's nothing left but scars around my ankle.

Now the wandering song within me is a song I've learned When I heard the freight trains whistle and my head was turned The carefree chorus of that liner as she burned Now the lineman says you've got to move along. Now I left the years and miles lying where they fell Among the book my soul was written and the tales my shoes could tell I left them lying there for someone else to tell And the road says you've got to move along. ============= 1159 ================ Trampled by Turtles - Blue Sky and the Devil I'm leaving Virginia Back to where I belong I can't remember The last time I gone There's blue skies and women And liquor so strong Angels and Devils To carry me on Come closer Angeline We'll go in the mornin' We'll be home tonight Old worn out feelings And yesterday's news Just give me something That I can use My boots are forgiven The valley's a lie And all these words talking Mean nothing tonight Come closer Angeline We'll go in the mornin' We'll be home tonight I left my pillar Out on the road It's a desolate place But you've been there before There's a town by the river It's where I was born And I died on a hillside All tattered and torn Come closer Angeline We'll go in the mornin' We'll be home tonight Come closer Angeline We'll go in the mornin' We'll be home tonight ============= 1160 ================ Blue Sky Cathedral Recorded by Rhonda Vincent Written by Chuck Jones and Michael Lunn G My granddaddy never went to church C G He felt closer to God with his hands in the dirt C Doin' hard work with the sun on his face Am D7 Sweat on his brow and the wind in his hair C D7 He'd say a prayer anywhere G He'd be standin' in the middle of fresh mown field C G The spirit would move him and he'd just kneel C And start givin' thanks for God's green earth Am D7 And when he came to church he'd prefer his G Em G D7 C G Am D7 Blue sky cathedral with its white pine steeple G C F Sunrise for its stained glass windows singin' along with that songbird hymnal C G C D7 G C G D7 Made his soul fly like an eagle under that blue sky cathedral G Every now and then some folks from town C G They dropped in and tried to bring him round C Am Into the fold but he'd just smile fix 'em some tea D7 C D7 And let 'em talk a while and then when they'd leave he'd say to me G C G Girl some people gotta have four walls to keep the word to hear the call C Am D7 And that's okay and as for me I do better underneath my G Em G D7 C G Am D7 Blue sky cathedral with its white pine steeple G C F Sunrise for its stained glass windows singin' along with that songbird hymnal C G C D7 G C G Make's my soul fly like an eagle under my blue sky cathedral F C It's been years since he's been gone we buried him upon the hill D# D7 But it don't matter where I am I feel him with me still under my G Em G D7 C G Am D7 Blue sky cathedral with its white pine steeple G C F Sunrise for its stained glass windows singin' along with that songbird hymnal C G C D7 G C G Make's my soul fly like an eagle under my blue sky cathedral ============= 1161 ================ (Carl Perkins) Well, it's one for the money, two for the show Three to get ready now go cat go But don't you step on my blue suede shoes You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

I dreamed a dream that made me sad, Concerning myself and the first few friends I had. With half-damp eyes I stared to the room Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon, Where we together weathered many a storm, Laughin' and singin' till the early hours of the morn. By the old wooden stove where our hats was hung, Our words were told, our songs were sung, Where we longed for nothin' and were quite satisfied Talkin' and a-jokin' about the world outside. With haunted hearts through the heat and cold, We never thought we could ever get old. We thought we could sit forever in fun But our chances really was a million to one. As easy it was to tell black from white, It was all that easy to tell wrong from right. And our choices were few and the thought never hit That the one road we traveled would ever shatter and split. How many a year has passed and gone, And many a gamble has been lost and won, And many a road taken by many a friend, And each one I've never seen again. I wish, I wish, I wish in vain, That we could sit simply in that room again. Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat, I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that. ============= 1208 ================ Keller Williams - Bob Rules (The price is wrong, bitch) Twelve o'clock check out we've got an entire hour Where is the remote, no time for the manual power I put that name tag over the heart On the shirt, that says 'Bob Rules' I stood in line for days With all the other fools And then the voice of an angel that belonged to Rod Roddy Called my name and said 'Come on down, you're the next contestant' Oh my God I was hyperventilating I hope I do not wake up from this dream; Which is what it was Janice she slinked on wearing a diamond dog collar Still in complete shock I muttered the words 'One Dollar' But, everyone else overbid, And their eyes turned to me with the rage For my dogs will be draped in diamonds And I get to go onstage I picked up old Bob and I hugged him just, like a bear He said 'Put me down son and feast your eyes over there' The sliding doors were ajar, I was a happy as I could get For it was a brand new car-- A Chevrolet Chevette All because the voice of an angel that belonged to Rod Roddy Called my name and said "Come on down you're the next contestant" Oh my God I was hyperventilating I hope I do not wake up from this dream Which is what it was The showcase showdown was set for a quarter to noon My spin did not make it all the away around, I got booed So I pulled down as hard as I could Just like they all knew that I would I was happy to be alive When it landed on $0.95 Next thing I knew I was standing next to a Marine Who did not like his showcase and passed it on over to me Crunching the numbers I tried to remain calm How much is an all expenses paid trip to Guam? Before I could answer a banging came to my door The housekeeper said 'You must leave now or pay more -- you have dog' I guess I fell back asleep And slept right through that show But the next time I'm in L.A. You know where I'm gonna go And hope that a voice of an angel that belongs to Rod Roddy Call my name and says "Come on down, you're the next contestant" Oh my God I hope I don't hyperventilate I hope I do not wake up from this dream Which is what it will be ============= 1209 ================ Bob Said It Aw (And Called It Western Swing) Recorded by Johnny Bush Written by Jim Halley G C I was raised on western swing G C Like to hear Tommy Duncan sing A7 D7 G When he talked about the bubbles in my beer C And he sing about Faded Love G Em Beneath the neon stars above A7 D7 G Yeah Bob said it aw and called it western swing C It ain't nothing new but it might be to you A7 D7 And if you listen long enough I'll bet you'll love it too C G E7 Bob's no longer with us but he'll always be the king A7 D7 G Bob said it aw and called it western swing C It ain't nothing new but it might be to you A7 D7 And if you listen long enough I'll bet you'll love it too C G E7 Bob's no longer with us but he'll always be the king A7 D7 G Bob said it aw and called it western swing A7 D7 G Yeah Bob said aw and called it western swing ============= 1210 ================ Emmylou Harris -

The three cowboys needed a place to bed down for the night. So I suggested the establishment of Miss Kitty May, (Or she may not). A former love and a woman of questionable repute. So they walked into the saloon and asked for Miss Kitty. And just then, they heard a voice sayin: "Hi, boys. You lookin' for these." And the littlest cowboy turned around to see two huge 38s pointed right at his face. (Jimmy, you can't say that!) (What? She had huge guns.) Smith and Wesson revolvers. Oh boy, were they loaded. Cornography. She's aiming them right at us. (Softer, George, it's more effective.) She's aiming them right at us. Everybody duck! Not you, Jimmy. You stand up normal. They dropped the money they owed her, an' she bent over to pick it up, And, oh, that moon was beautiful. (Now Jimmy, you can't say that!). Out the window. I couldn't see it till then George: There were mountains in the way. Cornography. "You guys are gonna get in trouble for this." That woman sure chaps my. Ask her out then. I think he's got a little thing for her, George. (Louder, Bill, it's more effective.) I think he's got a little thing for her, George. It's not THAT little. (That was worth a three or four, Bill.) All, right, Jimmy, let's get serious now. So the little cowboy was tryin' not to act too excited. But when I look at a woman that beautiful, it's hard. (Jimmy!!!). What? It's very difficult.

Ought to see her rock and roll with her blue jeans on. She's not very fat, just skin and bone. But I love her and she loves me. We're all happy now as we can be. Making love underneath the apple tree. Well, I told her mama and her papa too Just exactly what I want to do. I want to get married on a night in June, And rock and roll by the light of the silvery moon. Cause I love her and she loves me, We're all happy now as we can be. Making love underneath the apple tree. She's my one and only, she's my heart's desire. She's a real upsetter, she's a real live wire. Everybody turns when my baby goes by. She's something to see, she really catches the eye. I love her and she loves me, We're all happy now, as we can be. Making love underneath the apple tree. ============= 1230 ================ Bony on the Isle of St. Helena Uncle Earl Bonaparte is away from his wars and his fighting. He has gone to a place he can take no delight in. He may sit there and dwell on the glories he's seen, oh, While alone he remains on the Isle of St. Helena. No more in St. Cloud he'll be seen in such splendor. Or go on with his wars like the great Alexander. He sees his victories and how fleeting they all were. While his eyes are on the waves that surround St. Helena. Oh Louisy, she weeps for her husband's departin'. And she dreams when she sleeps, and she wakes broken-hearted. Not a friend to console her, in the past there were so many.. Now alone, she does mourn when she thinks of St. Helena. Come all you's got wealth, pray beware of ambition. It's just one degree of fate that may change your condition. Be steadfast in time, what's to come you know not. Your race, it could end on the Isle of St. Helena. Now the rude rushing waves, all around they are washing. And the white billows heave. On the rocks, they are crashing. He may list to the wind o'er the great Mt. Diana. While alone, he remains on the Isle of St. Helena. ============= 1231 ================ Keller Williams - Boob Job She had some extra money, she wanted to buy time Her friends said it was dangerous, but could not change her mind.

Think of the investment and how long those things will last, It's like, silicone is permanent, even after you have passed. When the rest off you is fading in some box under some stone Yeah you'll still have that Silly-cone, balanced on your bone. ============= 1232 ================ Carolina Chocolate Drops Boodle-De-Bum-Bum I went down in the alley Trying to sell my coal today I went down in the alley Trying to sell my coal today When a woman come out and hollered Scared my mule away She had the boodle-de-bum-bum She had the boodle-de-bum-bum She had the boodle-de-bum, boodle-de-bum, boodle-de-bum-bum I went down with that man Jackson To sell his ice and coal I went down with that man Jackson To sell his ice and coal But he spendin' all his money Buyin' sweet jelly roll He had the boodle-de-bum-bum He had the boodle-de-bum-bum He had the boodle-de, boodle-de, boodle-de-bum-bum We went down on 18th and Central Just two blocks west of State We went down on 18th and Central Just two blocks west of State And when he saw them pretty women Man, I could not wait He had the boodle-de-bum-bum He had the boodle-de-bum-bum Jackson had the boodle-de-bum, boodle-de-bum, boodle-de-bum-bum What'd she say?

Love, here's a diamond ring, long time I've kept it; All for your sake alone if you'll accept it. When you this token view, think on the giver; Madame remember me or I'm undone forever. Then forth went this brave youth and crossed the ocean. To free Americay was his intention. He landed at Quebec with all his party. The city to attack, both brave and hearty. Montcalm and this brave youth together walk-ed. On the plains of Abraham like brothers talk-ed. Till each one took his post and did retire. Twas then these numerous hosts commenced their fire. The drums did loudly beat, with colors flying. The purple gore did stream, and men lay dying. Then shot from off his horse, fell that brave hero; We'll long lament his loss that day in sorrow. He rais-ed up his head where the guns did rattle. And to his aid he said,"How goes the battle?" "Quebec is all our own, they can't prevent it." He said without a groan, "I die contented."

I've a shelter for the hens, and a stable for the ass, Aye, what could a man want more? Will she go? I don't know, But a bachelor is easy and he's free. I've lots to look after, sure I'm living all alone, Nobody's looking after me. Now me father often tells me I should go and have a try, To find a girl that owns a bit of land. And I know the way he says it he has someone on his mind, And me Mammy has the whole thing planned. Will she go? I don't know, but t'would mollify them greatly to agree. Now there's little Bridget Flynn, it's her I'd love to win, But she never has an eye for me. Now there's a little girl who is worth her weight in gold, And that's a decent dowry, don't ye see? And I mean to go and ask her, the minute I get bold, If she'll come and have an eye for me. Will she go? I don't know, but I'd love to have her sitting on me knee. And I'd sing like a thrush on a hawthorn bush, If she'd come and have an eye for me. ============= 1315 ================ Bridget O'malley Traditional Oh Brid Og O'Malley, you have left my heart breaking. You've sent death pangs of sorrow to pierce my heart sore. A hundred men craving for your breathtaking beauty. You're the fairest of maidens in Oriel, for sure. No spectacle is fairer than the moonbeams on the harbour, Or the sweet scented blossoms of the sloe on the thorn. But my love shines much brighter, in looks and in stature, The honey-lipped beauty who never said wrong. I'm a handsome young fellow, who is thinking of wedlock, But my life will be shortened if I don't get my dear. My love and my darling, prepare now to meet me, On next Sunday evening on the road to Drum Slieve. Tis sad and lonely I pass time on Sunday, My head bowed in sorrow my sighs heavy with woe. As I gaze upon the byways that my true love walks over, Now she's wed to another and left me forlorn. ============= 1316 ================ Bright Morning Stars Bright morning stars are rising Bright morning stars are rising Bright morning stars are rising Day is a'breaking in my soul Oh where are our dear fathers Oh where are our dear fathers They're down in the valley a praying Day is a'breaking in my soul Oh where are our dear mothers Oh where are our dear mothers They've gone to heaven a shoutin Day is a'breaking in my soul Bright morning stars are rising Bright morning stars are rising Bright morning stars are rising Day is a'breaking in my soul ============= 1317 ================ Doc Watson & Merle Watson Bright Sunny South From the bright sunny south to the war I was sent E'er the days of my boyhood I scarcely had spent From its cool, shady forest and deep flowing streams Ever fond in my memory and sweet in my dreams Oh, my dear little sister, I still see her tears When I had to leave home in our tender years And my sweet, gentle mother, so dear to my heart It grieved me sincerely when we had to part Said my kind-hearted father as he took my hand "As you go in defense of our dear native land Son, be brave, but show mercy whenever you can Our hearts will be with you 'til you return again" In my bag, there's a Bible to show me the way Through my trials on Earth and to Heaven someday I will shoulder my musket and brandish my sword In defense of this land and the word of the Lord ============= 1318 ================ Brighter Mansions There's a little church on Sunday morning Where I go to kneel and pray It's a place that God reserves for all While here on earth we stay It's a place to lose your cares and worries And to leave the load you bear It's a stepping stone on the road to glory There's a brighter mansion over there There's a brighter brighter mansion a brighter brighter mansion In a world that's free from care It's a home eternal in the Heavens There's a brighter mansion over there There the Savior standing at God's right hand Who will harken to our call By His sweat and blood on the cross at Calvary Gave His life for one and all Now by grace thru faith we attain His mercy And with beauties we will share There's a sacred promise that He made to all There's a brighter mansion over there ============= 1319 ================ The Chicks -

a man forth to die For the world and for you and for me Oh, it bowed down my heart And the teardrops will start When in memory all the grey hill I see; For 'twas there on its side Jesus suffered and died To redeem a poor sinner like me Behold, faint on the road 'Neath the world's heavy load Comes a thorn-crowned man on the way; With a cross, he is bowed But still on through the crowd He's ascending that hill lone and grey Hark, I hear the dull blow Of the hammer swung low; They are nailing my Lord to the tree And the cross they up-raise While the multitude gaze On the blessed Lamb of dark Calvary Oh, it bowed down my heart And the teardrops will start When in memory all the grey hill I see; For 'twas there on its side Jesus suffered and died To redeem a poor sinner like me How they mocked him in death To his last laboring breath While His friends sadly wept o'er the way But though lonely and faint Still no word of complaint Fell from Him on that hillock of grey Then a darkness come down And the rocks went around And a cry pierced the sad-laden air; 'Twas the voice of our King Who received death's dark sting All to save us from endless despair Let the sun hide its face Let the earth reel space Over man who their Savior have slain; But, behold, from the sod Comes the blessed Lamb of God Who was slain, but is risen again Oh, it bowed down my heart And the

He'd stare up to the stars sometimes when no one was around, and he'd dream of getting out. So he bought himself a pickup truck that was covered up in rust, he found a buddy to fill the shotgun seat that was someone he could trust, and they hit the gas and headed west out to the setting sun, when the dust had cleared, they was gone. Chorus: Well leavin' just came natural, that's the way it seemed to him. He'd been doing it so long that's the way he'd always been, and you can find him in some hotel room with the television on. He might be high and he'll probably ramble on. You can laugh beneath fluorescent lights and drink until the dawn, but in the morning, in the morning when you wake up he'll be gone. So he met a girl in a town along the way, she had beautiful brown eyes and a place that he could stay. So he fell in love and she fell in love in kind, it was so perfect that of course he lost his mind. He snuck out of the kitchen one day before the dawn, she called out after him and ran across the lawn, and he said some things that he didn't mean, that he'd best be travelin' on, she shed some tears and he was gone. Chorus: Well leavin' just came natural, that's the way it seemed to him. He'd been doing it so long that's the way he'd always been, and you can find him in some hotel room with the television on. He might be high and he'll probably ramble on. You can laugh beneath fluorescent lights and drink until the dawn, but in the morning, in the morning when you wake up he'll be gone. Eighteen years later and fifteen-hundred miles from home, he can't shake her from his mind though the whiskey soaks his bones. He heads out on a back road in the middle of the night, pedal to the metal, you know he timed that curve just right. But some bridges you cross over but the rest you've got to burn, he may have lost the road but I know he made his turn, and as we pulled him from the wreckage I promised him a song, 'cause it was clear that he was gone. Chorus: Well leavin' just came natural, that's the way it seemed to him. He'd been doing it so long that's the way he'd always been, and you can find him in some hotel with the television on, he might be high and he'll probably ramble on. You can laugh beneath fluorescent lights and drink until the dawn, but in the morning, in the morning when you wake up he'll be gone. In the morning, in the morning when you wake up he'll be gone. ============= 1549 ================ Caravan Mike Auldridge Night and stars above that shine so bright The myst'ry of their fading light That shines upon our caravan Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep Across the sand so I may keep The mem'ry of our caravan This is so exciting You are so inviting Resting in my arms As I thrill to the magic charms Of you beside me here beneath the blue My dream of love is coming true Within our desert caravan ============= 1550 ================ Careless Hands recorded by Dottie West written by Bob Hillard and Carl Sigman C F C I let my heart fall into careless hands G7 C Careless hands that broke my heart in two F C You held my dreams like worthless grains of sand G7 C Careless hands don't care when dreams slip through F C You've brought me joy and dear I loved you so D7 G7 But all that sunshine didn't make the roses grow C F If you don't change someday you'll know the sorrow of C G7 C Careless hands that can't hold on to love F C You've brought me joy and dear I loved you so D7 G7 But all that sunshine didn't make the roses grow C F If you don't change someday you'll know the sorrow of C G7 C Careless hands that can't hold on to love ============= 1551 ================ Careless Kisses Recorded by Red Foley C F Your careless kisses your careless kisses C G7 Are causing me to care less for you C F Your careless kisses your careless kisses C G7 C Makes me wonder if your heart is careless too F C You tell me it's nothing you only kiss my friends hello D7 G7 Please tell me darling how many people can I know C F Who share your kisses your careless kisses C G7 C That's causing me to care less for you F Your careless kisses your careless kisses C G7 Are causing me to care less for you C F Your careless kisses your careless kisses C G7 C Makes me wonder if your heart is careless too F C You tell me it's nothing you only kiss my friends hello D7 G7 Please tell me darling how many people can I know C F Who share your kisses your careless kisses C G7 C That's causing me to care less for you ============= 1552 ================ Careless Love Love oh love careless love Love oh love careless love Love oh love oh careless love See what careless love has done Once I wore my apron low (3x) I couldn't keep you from my door What oh what will mama say (3x) When she learns I've gone astray I love my mama and papa too (3x) See what I get for lovin' you Now I wear my apron high (3x) You pass my door you walk on by ============= 1553 ================ The Stanley Brothers -

A successful man who'd found his place in life. He asked me where I lived. I said Cerrybottom Caryville Towards Shady cove 'bout 3 miles on the right. He laughed and he said damn son, You gotta drive to get out there, In God's country where the air And water's clear. I said hold on just a minute And to listen to the truth. I don't think God's been 'round this place in years. God don't live in Cherrybottom or in Caryville. There's pills and meth, and violence all around. And if He does then I'm convinced he's sleepin' at the well. I don't think God lives in Caryville. I remember when I was a kid This was a nicer place. The people took pride in the land they loved. But nowadays it's gone to hell, And it's a damn disgrace. And it ain't no place for the Man from up above. God don't live in Cherrybottom or in Caryville. There's pills and meth, and violence all around. And if He does then I'm convinced he's sleepin' at the well. I don't think God lives in Caryville.

"Here" she said, "just a kiss to make a body smile!" "See" she said, "I've put on new stockings just to please you!" "Lord!" she said, "Casey can you only stay a while?" Casey leaves the under-ground and stops inside the Golden Crown For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bone Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men Who reach for any thing they can to keep from goin' home Standin' in the corner Casey drinks his pint of bitter Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by Then he stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason Is the beer that's in his belly, or the tear that's in his eye "Oh!" she said, "I suppose you seldom think about me "Now" she said, "now that you've a fam'ly of your own" "Still" she said, "it's so blessed good to feel your body!"

Moore As I walk the road from Killeshandra, weary I sit down. For it's twelve long miles around the lake to get to Cavan Town. Lough Oughter, on the road I go, once seemed beyond compare. Now I curse the time it takes to reach my Cavan girl so fair. At the Cavan cross, each Sunday morning, there she can be found. She seems to have the eye of every boy in Cavan town. If my luck will hold, I'll have the golden summer of her smile, And to break the hearts of the Cavan men, she'll talk to me awhile. Now autumn shades are on the leaves, the trees will soon be bare. Each red-gold leaf around me seems the colour of her hair. My gaze retreats to find my feet, but once again I sigh, For the broken pools of sky remind, the colour of her eye. So next sunday evening finds me homeward, Killeshandra bound To work the week till I return to court in Cavan town. When asked if she would be my wife, well at least she'd not said, "No", So next sunday morning, rouse meself, and back to her I'll go.

Green leaves of summer turn red in the fall To brown and to yellow they fade. And then they have to die, trapped within the circle time parade of changes. Scenes of my young years were warm in my mind, Visions of shadows that shine. Til one day I returned and found they were the Victims of the vines of changes. The world's spinning madly, it drifts in the dark Swings through a hollow of haze, A race around the stars, a journey through The universe ablaze with changes. Moments of magic will glow in the night All fears of the forest are gone But when the morning breaks they're swept away by golden drops of dawn, of changes. Passions will part to a strange melody. As fires will sometimes burn cold. Like petals in the wind, we're puppets to the silver strings of souls, of changes. Your tears will be trembling, now we're somewhere else, One last cup of wine we will pour And I'll kiss you one more time, and leave you on the rolling river shores of changes.

Charlie and Johnny were brothers in blood Nothing stronger than family love The cotton was short and times were tough So they went through seperate ways. Charlie moved north to work in corn But Johnny he stayed south And after being apart a couple of years Civil war broke out. Well both of the brothers they were volunteers After fighting each other for all those years But if it came to fighting they had no fears They had seen their share of fists. Then they got the news how it would be The brothers had agreed to disagree Is like taking an axe to the family tree Never dreamed it would come to this. Charlie put on the union blue And Johnny the rebel grey But each one pray his brother'd live The fight another day.

Cold Hard Truth It's the hand you hold I've been told Not the way you play the cards. If you can't see when it's time to fold, Then you won't get very far. And you never know what the dealer Holds, But You know the price you'll pay. In the Devil's game you could lose your soul. Take a chance or walk away. Sometimes you win Most times you lose. That's the cold hard truth. Well you can't get by on a poor man's pay And never buy your needs And a drink might take the pain away, But it brings you to your knees. If a love is kind enough to stay Till all your days are gone, You can have some comfort on your way, It's still an uphill run. Sometimes you win Most times you lose. That's the cold hard truth. Sometimes you win Most times you lose. Sometimes you win Most times you lose. ============= 1760 ================ Nanci Griffith - Cold Hearts/Closed Minds My bags are waiting in a cab downstairs I've got a ticket in my pocket says I'll make it out of here And I came by here just to tell you good-by I can see it in your face, you don't want to know why [Chorus:] I made up my mind late last night That I would leave your city behind Oh, and love is not in question When you're holding the answer In your cold heart and your closed mind You've got a cold heart and a closed mind Out in these streets these people are angry Well, they push and shove one another aside Well, I worked from the heart and you worked for the money But I paid the price for your will to survive [Chorus] Chicago roars like a midwest hurricane I see that storm in your eyes One of these mornings when you're making your way Just gonna wash you out with the tide ============= 1761 ================ Richard Thompson - Cold Kisses Lyrics Here I am in your room going through your stuff Said you'd be gone five minutes, that's time enough Here in your drawer there's lacy things Old credit cards and beads and bangles and rings But I think I've found what I'm looking for Hidden away at the back of the drawer Here's the life that you led before Old photographs of the life you led Arm in arm with Mr. X Y and Z Old boyfriends big and small Got to see how I measure up to them all There is a place we all must start love Who were you holding in that fond embrace I've found a door into your heart love And do you still feel the warmth of cold kisses? Here I am behind enemy lines Looking for secrets, looking for signs Old boyfriends, big and small Got to see how I measure up to them all This one's handsome, not too bright This one's clever with his hands alright Tougher than me if it came to a fight And this one's a poet, a bit of a wet Bit of a gypsy, a bit of a threat I wonder if she's got over him yet Old passions frozen in the second Who were you holding in that fond embrace Hearts have a past that must be reckoned And do you still feel the warmth of cold kisses? Time to put the past away That's your footstep in the street I'd say Tie the ribbon back around it Everything just the way I found it And I can hear you turn the key And my head's buried when you see me In a Margaret Miller mystery And do you still feel the warmth of cold kisses?

The billboards and the neon took the place of silver bells, And the temperature is 84 degrees.

The day was hot and dusty in the year of '69 As we heard the whistle blowing somewhere down the line That was the year I rode with Frank and Jesse James As we waited for the coming and the going of the trains. The drought hit west Texas the ground was cracked and dry We just had to have some water or our crops would surely die The railroad shipped this water till we finally got some rain And I thanked God for the coming and the going of the trains. I lived behind these iron bars I'm a prisoner doing time And I've heard that midnight freight pass at least the thousand times And I spent my time a walking to the door and back again And marking down the coming and the going of the trains. I've always been an engineer and trains're all I know Ah they don't want me anymore and they say that I'm too old But my cabin at the crossing sorta helps to ease my pain For I just had to feel the coming and the going of the trains.

Do believe it's easy, Do believe it's easy, Do believe it's easy don't even have to try. You may lip your flute or pick your strigs to hear the music grow, Maybe you'll stand by a while, it all comes through you so, Just maybe you will hit magic sounds that call you to your heart, And gently you will follow down and view yourself apart Do believe it's easy, Do believe it's easy, Do believe it's easy don't even have to try. If when the moon's a toothy smile you meet a whirling wind, Whirls you clear to nowhere and forgets where you came in, There is no call to worry, or be sorry that you came, You may maze along there for a space, oh buddy and then come back to your name. Do believe it's easy, Do believe it's easy, Do believe it's easy don't even have to try. Now, if your man gets busted and you hope to go his bail, Suppose you cannot borrow money, you may go to borrow the mail, Yes, if yor mangets busted and you hope to go his fine, You may laze along to the judge's house, sweet woman, and set it on he line. Do believe it's easy, Do believe it's easy, Do believe it's easy don't even have to try. ============= 2052 ================ Railroad Earth - Dandelion Wine Way out in the pines Where the tall trees grow There lives a woman In a house that she calls home She's waiting in the door In her dress so fine We're gonna spend the afternoon Drinking dandelion wine Summertime is here, lord Why did it take so long Wintertime just did me in Man, everything went wrong But now I'm going back again To the country where I'll find My baby with a gallon jug Of that dandelion wine Kenny's on his tractor And he's pulling in the hay And his son Davy's got a shotgun Says he'd rather it that way Me, I'm just waiting For that wagon to go by And I'll pass them up my gallon jug Of that dandelion wine Sometimes I sing for money Sometimes I sing for food But most times I sing for nothing 'Cause it's all that I can do But if you can spare a nickel If you can spare a dime I'm damn sure gonna spend it on Some of that dandelion wine So you can tell my city woman I ain't coming back no more 'Cause I'm gonna have a high time Without ever waiting for All of my best days you just come and go I'm gonna live before I die So just pass me up that gallon jug Of your dandelion wine So just pass me up that gallon jug Of your dandelion wine Oh, so just pass me up your gallon jug Of that dandelion wine ============= 2053 ================ Dwight Yoakam - Dangerous Man (Dwight Yoakam) Chorus: He's a dangerous man He's got blood in his plans Better watch out where you stand 'Cause he's a dangerous man He'll make you believe that he's your friend But don't forget it's just pretend And he's a dangerous man He'll tell you the right things About all the wrong people He'll smile and he'll say "Hey, you and me We think just he same" You better make sure that you read All the rules first 'Cause he runs a crooked game Chorus: He's a dangerous man He's got blood in his plans Better watch out where you stand 'Cause he's a dangerous man He'll make you believe that he's your friend But don't forget it's just pretend And he's a dangerous man His words are all vain And his promise is empty His message is loud But it ain't meant to be clear He hides all the clues That have left his hands stained and dirty And he'll wash them with your tears Chorus: He's a dangerous man He's got blood in his plans Better watch out where you stand 'Cause he's a dangerous man He'll make you believe that he's your friend But don't forget it's just pretend And he's a dangerous man ============= 2054 ================ Daniel Elton John & Bernie Taupin Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain Oh and, I can see Daniel Waving goodbye, Lord it looks like Daniel must be the clouds in my eyes.

Hold my hand, darling, I'm afraid of the daylight. Shade is dark. Cool and languid for life or love. Safe in shadows; never stark as the daylight. As the daylight. When I was just knee high, My Momma told me, never try, To be someone that I am not. Yet over time I had forgot, The wandering child, so lost at play: He's found himself but he can't find his way, In the daylight. Oh, the daylight. Ooh, daylight. Ooh, daylight. Life is short, and there's no turning back the time. Fragrant meadows and rocks to climb in the daylight. In my mind, There's a corner I need to turn. Lessons lived is a lesson learned in the daylight. In the daylight. I miss the forest shade, You took me there, the promise I made, To never leave the dark so deep. Safe and soothing, yet I fear, As I recall and now reflect, I see it's safer to connect, To the daylight. Oh, the daylight. (Light.) Ooh, daylight. Ooh, daylight. (Instrumental break).

They call me a bummer and a gin-sack too, but what cares I for praise? I roam around from town to town just like a roving sign, And the people all say there goes Tom Moore, in the days of '49. Chorus after every verse: In the days of old, the days of gold, how often I remind. In the days of old when we dug up the gold In the days of '49. My comrades they all loved me well that jolly craven crew. A few hard cases I recall though they all were brave and true. Whatever the pinch they would never flinch they would never fret or whine. Like good old bricks they stood the kicks in the days of '49. There was New York Jake the butcher's boy, he was always getting tight, And every time that he got full he was spoiling for a fight. Then Jake rampaged against a knife in the hand of old Bob Syne. And over Jake, they held a wake, in the days of '49. There was Poker Bill one of the boys who was always in a game. Whether he lost, whether he won, to him it was the same. He would ante up and draw his cards and go about full blind. In a game of death Bill lost his breath in the days of '49. There was Rag-Shag Bill from Buffalo I never will forget. He would roar all day and roar all night, and I guess he's roaring yet. One day he fell in a prospect hole, a roaring bad design. And out that hole there roared Bill's soul in the days of '49. Of all the comrades I have had there is no one left to boast. I'm left alone in my misery like some poor old wandering ghost. As I pass by from town to town they call me the wandering sign. There goes Tom Moore, a bummer sure, in the days of '49. ============= 2121 ================ Chris Thile - Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground Dead Leaves and the dirty ground when I know You're not around shiny tops and soda pops when I hear your lips make a sound when I hear your lips make a sound thirty notes in the mailbox will tell you that I'm coming home and I think I'd better sick around for a while so you're not alone for a while so you're not alone soft hair and a velvet tongue I wanna give you what you give to me and every breath that is in your lungs is a tiny little gift to me if you can hear a piano fall you can hear me coming down the hall if i could just hear your pretty voice I don't think I'd have to see at all I don't think I'd have to see at all I didn't feel so bad til the sun went down I got back home no one to wrap my arms around to wrap my arms around to wrap my arms around any man with a microphone can tell you what he wants the most and you'll know why you love at all if you're thinking of the holy ghost if you're thinking of the holy ghost ============= 2122 ================ Richard Thompson -

The next day being Sunday, several of G7 C G7 The boys went to church. After the chaplain had read the prayer the text was taken up. E7 Those of the boys who had a prayer book took them out, but G7 this one boy had only a deck of cards, and so he spread them out. The Sergeant who commanded the boys saw the cards and said, G7 "Soldier put away those cards." After the service was over, the C soldier was taken prisoner and brought before the provost marshal. F C The marshal said, "Sergeant, why have you brought the C F man here?" "For playing cards in church, Sir." "And what C G7 C G7 have you got to say for yourself, son?" "Much, Sir." E7 Replied the soldier. The Marshall said, "I hope so, for if not I shall punish you more than any man was ever punished." Am The soldier said, "Sir, I've been on the march for about D7 six days, I had neither Bible nor prayer book, but I hope to G7 C satisfy you, Sir, with the purity of my intentions." With that, the boy started his story: You see Sir, when I look at the "ACE", it reminds me thatthere is but one God; And the "DEUCE" reminds me that the Bible is divided intotwo parts; The Old and the New Testaments And when I see the "THREE", I think of the Father, the Son,and the Holy Ghost And when I see the "FOUR", I think of the four Evangelistswho preached the Gospel. There was Matthew, Mark, Luke and John And when I see the "FIVE", it reminds me of the five wisevirgins who trimmed their lamps. There were ten of them, fivewere wise and were saved. Five were foolish and were shut out And when I see the "SIX", it reminds me that in six days,God made this great heaven and earth; When I see the "SEVEN", it reminds me that on the seventh day,God rested from His great work; And when I see the "EIGHT", I think of the eight righteouspersons God saved when He destroyed this earth. There wasNoah, his wife, their three sons and their wives And when I see the "NINE", I think of the lepers our Saviourcleansed. And nine out of the ten didn't even thank Him When I see the "TEN", I think of the Ten Commandments Godhanded down to Moses on a table of stone When I see the "KING", it reminds me that there is but oneKing of Heaven, God Almighty And when I see the "QUEEN" I think of the Blessed Virgin Marywho is Queen of Heaven And the "JACK" or "KNAVE" is the Devil When I count the number of spots on a deck of cardsI find 365, the number of days in a year There's 52 cards, the number of weeks in a yearThere's 4 suits, the number of weeks in a month There's 12 picture cards, the number of months in a year There's 13 tricks, the number of weeks in a quarter So you see, Sir, my pack of cards serves me as a Bible Almanac and Prayer Book.

I returned to my home, With a heart part made of stone, And I cried all night for a girl I never knew. From the east it comes, Her love and the rising sun, And I pray each time they come, it's not the last. You see I've got strong, I made it through what came along, But I can't move on for the beauty of the past. Came across a pretty girl, For about a month she was my world, And I held her hand, and swore we'd never part. I moved on, she stayed behind, I said I'd call, she said she'd write, We lost touch the moment I drove off. I left town like a gambler with, The sense of cashin' all the chips, Before I lost them all on a bad deal. I made believe I was in a race, Drove ten thousand miles in seven days, While writing a book called "Being A Free Man". Met more people than the president, The good times came and the good times went, And I learned how to ignore my hunger pangs. I looked ahead to the open road, thought about the people and what they know, And wrote a book called "People Don't Know Nothin". (no matter what they tell ya, man) Once I spent my last dime, And counted the ratio of miles to time, I looked up to my disdain and my surprise. I had driven my car around the world, Ended back in the town with the girl, So I wrote a book called "Life in Prison". (Volume. 1) I see that girl every now and then, And we drink to having such good friends, And apologize for the way it did not last. Funny thing that it's all true, And I'll always love November Blue, But I turned her down for the beauty of the past. November came and went, Like a summer that I spent, With a no name girl that walked in jelly shoes. I returned to my home, With a heart part made of stone, And I cried all night for a girl I never knew. ============= 2168 ================ Denver Woman Written and recorded by Johnny Duncan C F C I saw her for the first time in a small cafe F Dm G7 C Where I was pickin' songs just to get along F C A Denver woman so fine she took my breath away F Dm G7 C G7 When she smiled and said I sure do like your songs C F C At first I think she came just to dig my music F Dm G7 C But later on a special gold filled her eyes F C Warmer than the sweet red wine she's drinkin' F Dm G7 C What comes next I suppose is no surprise F G7 C Cause the first time she let go was in my arms F G7 C She's as pure as a Rocky Mountain airy breeze F G7 C Am She said I always knew that it would take a special man for me C Dm G7 C And the first time she let go Lord it was me F C Nights get cold when the snow falls in the Rockies F Dm G7 C But the fireplace has a warm and friendly glow F C I've got my friends my guitar and my Denver woman F Dm G7 C And I remember well the first time she let go Repeat #3 Dm G7 C And the first time she let go Lord it was me ============= 2169 ================ Deportee Woody Guthrie / Martin Hoffman The crops are all in, the peaches are rotting The oranges are piled in their creosote dumps They're flying us back to the Mexican border To pay all our money just to wade back again Some of us are illegal and some are not wanted Our work contract's out and we have to move on 600 miles to that Mexican border They chase us like outlaws, like thieves on the run Chorus: Goodbye to my Juan, good-bye Rosalita Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane All they will call you will be deportee The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos canyon A fireball of lightning that shook all the hills Who are these friends now all scattered like dry leaves?

There was old men with beer guts and dominos Lying 'bout their lives while they played. I was just a kid, they all called me "Sidekick" Like desperados waitin' for a train. Like desperados waitin' for a train. He's a drifter, he's a driller of oil wells. He's an old school man of the world. He taught me how to drive his car when he's too drunk to, And he'd wink and give me money for the girls. And our lives was like, some old Western movie. Like desperados waitin' for a train. Like desperados waitin' for a train. One day I looked up and he's pushin' eighty. He's got brown tobacco stains all down his chin. To me he was a hero of this country, So why's he all dressed up like them old men, Drinkin' beer and playin' Moon and Forty-two, Like desperados waitin' for a train. Like desperados waitin' for a train. The day before he died I went to see him. I was grown and he was almost gone. So we closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen, And sang us one more verse to that old song. (spoken) He said, "Yeah, Jack, that old son-of-a-bitch is a-comin'". We're desperados waitin' for a train. Was like desperados waitin' for a train. Note: One arrangement is to lead or follow immediately with a verse and chorus of "Red River Valley". ============= 2178 ================ Desperate Dreams Written and recorded by Eddy Raven C Dm

And he carries all his money In a diamond-studded jar. And he never had much bother For the process of the law. I hired on with Diamond Joe, boys, I did offer him my hand, And he gave a string of horses So old they could not stand. And I nearly starved to death, boys, He did mistreat me so. I never saved a dollar In the pay of Diamond Joe. Now his bread it was corn dodger And his meat I could not chaw, And he drove me near distracted With the waggin' of his jaw. By the tellin' of this story, I aim to let you know There never was a rounder That could lie like Diamond Joe. I tried three times to quit him, boys, But he did argue so That I'm still punchin' cattle In the pay of Diamond Joe. And when I'm called up yonder And it's my time to go, Give my blankets to my buddies... And give the fleas to Diamond Joe. ============= 2197 ================ Diamonds And Horseshoes Recorded by Jerry Wallace Written by Bert Pellish and Mitchell Tableporter F C Am (Diamonds and horseshoes diamonds and horseshoes) G7 C How rich and lucky I'd be F Fm If teardrops were diamonds I'd be a millionaire C Am Dm G7 I've cried so many teardrops much more than my share C F Fm Darling I love you with all of my heart C G7 C And I've been so lonesome since we've been apart F C Am Diamonds and horseshoes diamonds and horseshoes G7 C C7 How rich and lucky I'd beF C Am Diamonds and horseshoes diamonds and horseshoes G7 C I know you'll soon come to me F Fm If heartaches were horseshoes how lucky I'd be C Am Dm G7 I'd lose all these heartaches you'd be here with me C F Fm And darling I love you and my love is true C Am G7 C I'd give up my diamonds and horseshoes for you Repeat #2 F C (Diamonds and horseshoes) ============= 2198 ================ Emmylou Harris - Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend A kiss on the hand may be quite continental But diamonds are a girl's best friend A kioss may be grand but it won't pay the rental On your humble flat or help you at the automat Men grow cold as girls grow old We all lose our charm in the end But square cut or pear shape These rocks don't lose their shape Diamonds are a girl's best friend Yeah diamonds are a girl's best friend Let's rock There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer Diamonds are a girl's best friend There may come a time when a hardboiled employer Thinks you're awful nice, but get that ice or else no dice He's your guy when stocks are high But beware when they start to descend It's then that those spouses And diamonds are a girl's best friend Diamonds are a girl's best friend Yeah diamonds are a girl's best friend Let's rock again Diamonds are a girl's best friend Diamonds are a girl's best friend Diamonds are a girl's best friend Diamonds are a girl's best friend ============= 2199 ================ Diamonds In The Rough While walking out one evening Not knowing where to go Just to pass the time away Before we gave the show I met a little salvation band Singing with all its might I gave my heart to Jesus And left the show that night The day will soon be over And begging will be done And no more gems be gathered So let us all press on Till Jesus comes to claim us And says it is enough The diamonds will be shining No longer in the rough While reading through the Bible Some wondrous sights I see I read of Peter, James and John By the Sea of Galilee And Jesus when he found them He found them very tough and they were precious diamonds He gathered in the rough ============= 2200 ================ Diane Recorded by Ed Bruce written by Ronnie Rogers G C G Diane if you're gonna do him wrong again D7 G You might as well do the wrong again with me C G I haven't told a soul nobody knows about you and me D7 Diane if you're gonna do him wrong again G You might as well do the wrong again with me C G We both lost our heads in the red wine D7 Left the lounge and drove to another town G C G Spent the night in a ten dollar mansion D7 G You woke me the next morning crying C G You ask me to forget about the things we did D7 Said you had no cause to be with me G C G And I believed you loved him so I stayed away D7 G Diane you're back again and you swore you wouldn't be Repeat #1 C G Here we sit at the same corner table D7 Playing the same songs with our dimes G C G Talking the same old conversation D7 G Losing our heads again in the red wine Repeat #1 ============= 2201 ================ Diary Of My Mind Recorded by George Jones Written by John Starks and Sadie Starks G C G I can bring you back anytime I want to D7 G I remember an angel in your veil of white so fine C D7 G You're always very near well I feel that you're still here C D7 G It's so real in the diary of my mind C G On the first page there we are down by the river D7 G With the flowers blooming in the warm sunshine C D7 G Speaking love words soft and sweet and as our lips slowly meet C D7 G We're together in the diary of my mind C G Yes I can bring you back anytime I want to C G D7 Even though you been gone a long long time G G7 C G Oh I just close my eyes and then I realize C D7 G You're right there in the diary of my mind C G On the next page I can smell the yellow roses D7 G You brought to this world our baby girl so fine C D7 G A princess for the queen I was such a happy king C D7 G You're both still in the diary of my mind C G Yes even comes the page I don't like to remember D7 G But history shows that kingdoms fall with time C D7 G Mistrust and deceit then the bottle it brought defeat C D7 G That's the last scene that's in the diary of my mind Repeat #3 But I can?

Oh how I wish that was enough to have made me want to stay. See I'm as true as I try to be and I must say my girl. I tried the best to give to you all of the truest in the world. But when I left your house that morning in that ragged thunderbird Tried so hard to fight the voices from the devil's that I heard. See there's a highway to the right of us I took it years ago. And since a year ago can't drive past, without turning down that road. And I knew it, I never should have turned the wheel And I knew it, The voices calling me were real I knew it Listen to the song they sing I knew I was wrong And I knew I was wrong So give me a try at describing just how difficult it is. When you kinda love two girls to figure out which one you miss. Stumble away from your stairway with your perfume on my clothes. Well I kinda loved two girls but now I've kinda lost 'em both. And I knew it, I never should have turned the wheel And I knew it, The voices calling me were real I knew it Listen to the song they sing I knew I was wrong And I knew I was wrong And if I could gather up the damage that I rendered in my life. Place it on a scale and weigh against the damage done that night. Then it'd be safe to say the weight of all I did and didn't do. Would surely float against the slightest wrong I ever did to you. ============= 2234 ================ Crooked Still Distress So fades the lovely blooming flower Frail smiling solace of an hour So soon our transient comforts fly And pleasure only blooms to die Is there no kind, no healing hour To soothe the anguish of the heart Spirit of grace be ever nigh Thy comforts honor me to die Let gentle patience smile on pain Til dying hope revives again Hope wipes the tear from sorrows eye And faith points up towards the sky So fades the lovely blooming flower Frail smiling solace of an hour So soon our transient comforts fly And pleasure only blooms to die ============= 2235 ================ Divine Bell Abigail Washburn On this road of life you have harbored pain and strife standing at the gates of hell Oh, but when you hear it ring it will end all suffering It's God's Great Divine Bell Hear it ring Hear it ring All the joy that it brings How loud must be the sound to turn this world around To God's great Divine Bell To God's great Divine Bell You have washed your hands of sin in the blood of the lamb But you drank from Satan's well But when you here it toll heaven and earth are gonna roll To God's great Divine Bell This world's gone wrong and it won't be long Till man shall fall But I'll pay no mind to that earthly chime When I hear that Divine Bell ============= 2236 ================ The Avett Brothers - Divorce Separation Blues I'm gonna keep on living Even though I sometimes do Fantasize about disappearing Down in the ocean blue Just to get some peace and quiet From the warfare inside my heart Well I've been under ear-splitting fire Ever since we've been apart Well I'm gonna wash the dishes Pay the bills and watch the news I've got the tough education No celebration Divorce separation blues Yodel eh hee yodelo lodi lay he yodel lay he Well I'm gonna keep on waking And rising up before the sun And lying in the dark wide awake When everybody else is done And sleeping in their beds so peaceful Dreaming with the love they choose I've got the tough education No celebration Divorce separation blues Yodel eh hee yodelo lodi lay he yodel lay he And I'll sign on The line beneath my name The road is gone I can't go back the way we came Well neither one of us Really wanna hear the town We try to keep our friends at bay Try to keep the gossip down Well some folks just want the dirt And don't even care if it's true But then again who cares who's talking I'm worried for myself and you And I'll sign on The line beneath my name The road is gone I can't go back the way we came They say one of every two Bound to be set aflame Every level of resentment Responsibility and blame Well now I'm bound to break a promise One I made to God and you I've got the tough education No celebration Divorce separation blues I've got the tough education No celebration Bad communication Worse interpretation Love deprivation Pain allocation Soul deprivation Cold desolation Life complication Resuscitation Divorce separation blues Yodel eh hee, olay hee, olay hee, olay hee Yodel eh hee yodelo lodi lay he yodel lay he ============= 2237 ================ Dixie Blues Merle Haggard 1.

Lightfoot Through the woodland, through the valley Comes a horseman wild and free Tilting at the windmills passing Who can the brave young horseman be He is wild but he is mellow He is strong but he is weak He is cruel but he is gentle He is wise but he is meek Reaching for his saddlebag He takes a battered book into his hand Standing like a prophet bold He shouts across the ocean to the shore 'Til he can shout no more I have come o'er moor and mountain Like the hawk upon the wing I was once a shining knight Who was the guardian of a king I have searched the whole world over Looking for a place to sleep I have seen the strong survive And I have seen the lean grow weak See the children of the earth Who wake to find the table bare See the gentry in the country Riding off to take the air Reaching for his saddlebag He takes a rusty sword into his hand Then striking up a knightly pose He shouts across the ocean to the shore 'Til he can shout no more See the jailer with his key Who locks away all trace of sin See the judge upon the bench Who tries the case as best he can See the wise and wicked ones Who feed upon life's sacred fire See the soldier with his gun Who must be dead to be admired See the man who tips the needle See the man who buys and sells See the man who puts the collar On the ones who dare not tell See the drunkard in the tavern Stemming gold to make ends meet See the youth in ghetto black Condemned to life upon the street Reaching for his saddlebag He takes a tarnished cross into his hand Then standing like a preacher now He shouts across the ocean to the shore Then in a blaze of tangled hooves He gallops off across the dusty plain In vain to search again Where no one will hear Through the woodland, through the valley Comes a horseman wild and free Tilting at the windmills passing Who can the brave young horseman be He is wild but he is mellow He is strong but he is weak He is cruel but he is gentle He is wise but he is meek ============= 2292

I strolled beside an old rock garden And saw familiar scenes once more. I heard the organ softly playing Its music came so sweet and low. And I heard my mother sweetly singing As oft I did so long ago. I was dreaming of a little cabin And I heard somebody call my name. I Looked and saw a sweet old lady And it seemed I was a child again. She gently put her arms around me And kissed her little boy once more. I knew it was the same sweet mother That had kissed me many times before I heard her sing the "Rock of Ages" And "Silver Threads Among the Gold". She told me once again of Jesus Within that little cabin fold. She opened up her faded Bible Where the family records used to be And I knew it was the same sweet mother That years ago had cradled me. An orphan through this world I wander Since mother left the old homestead. No one to pray for me at twilight No place to lay my weary head. I miss her voice so gently calling I miss her precious guiding hand. But I know that when I reach God's city I'll hear her call my name again. ============= 2532 ================ Dreaming Of Christmas Written and recorded by Rhonda Vincent C F G7 C I look outside and

- Drive It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her We put on a shine; put on a motor Built out of love, made for the water Ran her for years, 'til the transom got rotten A piece of my childhood that will never be forgotten It was just on old plywood boat With a '75 Johnson with electric choke A young boy two hands on the wheel I can't replace the way it made me feel And I would turn her sharp And I would make her whine He'd say, "you can't beat the way an old wood boat rides" Just a little lake across the Alabama line But I was king of the ocean When daddy let me drive Just an old half ton shortbed ford My uncle bought new in '64 Daddy got it right 'cause the engine was smoking A couple of burnt valves and he had it going He let me drive her when we'd haul off a load Down a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thigpen Road I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals Smiling like a hero that just received his medal It was just an old hand-me-down Ford With a three-speed on the column and a dent in the door A young boy two honds on the wheel I canö³t replace the way it mode me feel And I would press that clutch And I would keep it right And he'd say, "a little slower son you're doing just fine" Just a dirt rood with trash on each side But I was Mario Andretti

memory And think of me and smile and say It was just an old worn out Jeep Rusty old floorboard, hot on my feet A young girl two hands on the wheel I can't replace the way it made me feel And he'd say,

care of herself Texas back in '69 was drive in movies and dashboard lights Where is she now The backseat queen of fraternity Where is she now She's heavy on thigh And light on integrity Someone should have told her When beauty's all you offer How soon the world discovers That your beauty's gone Its gone Mother can't you hear your daughter crying Father wake up her youth is dying The kids are gone Husbands gone away And its a shame cause she had such a lovely face Can't you see she needed more than "Oh what a pretty child" You never taught her truth from lie All you told her was to smile Texas back in '69 was drive in movies and dashboard lights Where is she now The backseat queen of fraternity Where is she now She's heavy on thigh And light on integrity Someone should have told her When

I saw an accident one day Would charm the hearts of man And teach him never to drink a drop With a steerin' wheel in his hand. This awful accident occured On the twentieth day of May And caused to loving children To sleep beneath the clay. These two dear kids walked side by side Out on a state highway Their lovin' mother, she had died And their father had run away. They were talking of their loving parents How sad their hearts did feel When around the curve came a speedin' car With a drunk man at the wheel. The driver saw these two dear kids And hooted a drunkard sound 'Get out of the road, you little fools' And the car had brought them down. The driver staggered from his car To see what he had done His heart sank within him When he saw his dyin' on. He then picked up his little one And carried him to his car Then leanin' on the runnin' board He prayed a drunkard's prayer. Sayin', 'Please, oh Lord, forgive me For this awful crime I've done' His attention then was called away To the words of his dyin' son. Sayin' 'Take us to our mother, Dad She sleeps beneath the ground It was you and her we was talkin' about When the car had knocked us down.'

Every Grain Of Sand In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need When the pool of tears beneath my feet, flood every newborn seed There's a dyin' voice within me, reaching out somewhere Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair Don't have the inclination to look back on any mistake Like cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break In the fury of the moment I can see the master's hand In every leaf that trembles and in every grain of sand Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame And every time I pass that way, I always hear my name Then onward in my journey, I come to understand That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night In the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintry light In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me I am hanging in the balance of a perfect finished plan Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand ============= 2730 ================ The Avett Brothers -

We can go ahead if no one notices what's the point of it I have to ask. How you learn to see hope eternally when you're sure to be oh even last hurt so bad more than I expected that it would worse than that it seems to be lasting just a little longer than it should. It's alright if you finally stop caring just don't go and tell someone that does. 'Cuz even though I know there's hope in every morning song I have to find that mellody alone have to find that mellody alone I have to sing that mellody alone. ============= 2731 ================

when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight Fever - in the the morning, fever all through the night. Sun lights up the daytime, moon lights up the night I light up when you call my name, and you know I'm gonna treat you right You give me fever - when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight Fever - in the the morning, fever all through the night. Everybody's got the fever, that is something you all know Fever isn't such a new thing, fever started long ago. Romeo loved Juliet, Juliet she felt the same When he put his arms around her, he said "Julie baby you're my flame" Thou givest fever, when we kisseth, fever with thy flaming youth Fever - I'm afire, fever yea I burn forsooth. Captain Smith and Pocahontas had a very mad affair When her Daddy tried to kill him, she said "Daddy-O don't you dare" Give me fever - with his kisses, fever when he holds me tight Fever - I'm his Missus, Oh daddy won't you treat him right. Now you've listened to my story, here's the point I have made: Chicks were born to give you fever, be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade They give you fever - when you kiss them, fever if you live and learn Fever - till you sizzle, what a lovely way to burn. What a lovely way to burn. What a lovely way to burn. Notes: Charted by Little Willie John (# 24 in 1956). Charted by Peggy Lee (# 8 in 1958). Charted by The McCoys (# 7 in 1965).

================ Flora Arr. Stookey / Travers / Mezzetti When first I came to Louisville, my fortune there to find, I met a fair young maiden there, her beauty filled my mind. Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips, they gave my heart no rest. The name she bore was Flora, the lily of the west. I courted lovely Flora, she promised ne'er to go. But soon a tale was told to me that filled my heart with woe. They said she meets another man who holds my love in jest. And yet I trusted Flora, the lily of the west. 'Way down in yonder shady grove, a man of low degree, He spoke unto my Flora there and kissed her 'neath a tree. The answers that she gave to him like arrows pierced my breast. I was betrayed by Flora, the lily of the west. I stepped up to my rival, my dagger in my hand. I seized him by the collar and I ordered him to stand. All in my desperation I stabbed him in his chest.

I don't know what is real, I can't touch what I feel And I hide behind the shield of my illusion. So I'll continue to continue to pretend My life will never end, And flowers never bend With the rainfall. The mirror on my wall Casts an image dark and small But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection. I am blinded by the light Of God and truth and right And I wander in the night without direction. So I'll continue to continue to pretend My life will never end, And flowers never bend With the rainfall. It's no matter if you're born To play the King or pawn For the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow, So my fantasy Becomes reality, And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow. So I'll continue to continue to pretend My life will never end, And flowers never bend With the rainfall. ============= 2956 ================ Bill Monroe - Flowers of Love Those pretty wild flowers I love them so well The flowers know secrets that I'll never tell I go out to pick a bouquet of all And bring them all in before the leaves start to fall When the leaves start to fall and the flowers have died If only little darling I could be by your side Tho' it breaks my heart to hear your name Soon the wild flowers will bloom again in the spring I wish I could see her and talk of our love And of all the pretty flowers sent here from above Oh maybe I'll see her in Heaven someday And pick pretty flowers as we go on our way The memories of you dear I'll never erase There'll never be another that can take your place I'll still keep our secret with the flowers of love And we'll pick them together in Heaven above ============= 2957 ================ Floyd County Written and recorded by Dwight Yoakam C F C It's a sad day in Floyd County Mr. Jones F C G7 C G7 Yeah the grief is strong for the man that's gone C F C And at the grave his woman cries and she moans F C G7 C Cause it's a sad day in Floyd County Mr. Jones A#7 F C The six children he raised are all weepin' A#7 F C For this soft spoken mountain man A#7 F C F Who feed them with the money he earned in those black mines C G7 C And the food he could raise with his hands repeat #1 A#7 F C Though the world knew nothing of his wisdom A#7 F C Or the honest and simple things he did A#7 F C F There's some folks cryin' on this hillside today C G7 C That know about the humble way he lived repeat #1 A#7 F C Now this house in the holler stands empty A#7 F C Though his presence in my memory is plain A#7 F C F You know I'd swear that I just saw him walkin' up that hill C G7 C I guess this place just won't never be the same repeat #1 ============= 2958 ================ Floyd County [Previously Unreleased Track] It's a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones Yeah, the grief is strong for the man that's gone And at the grave his woman cries and she moans 'Cause it's a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones The six children he raised are all weepin' For this soft-spoken mountain man Who fed them with the money he earned in those black mines And the food he could raise with his hands Chorus Though the world knew nothing of his wisdom Or the honest and simple things he did There's some folks cryin' on this hillside today That know about the humble way he lived Chorus Now this house in the holler stands empty Though his presence in my memory is plain You know that I'd swear that I just saw him walkin' up that hill I guess this place just won't never be the same Chorus ============= 2959 ================ Flushed From The Bathroom Of Your Heart Jack Clement / Johnny Cash?

Still somethin' deep inside keeps tellin' me to make the sacrifice, And askin' me to walk the extra mile. I've walked it now to many times with freedom for the price. Too many times to fight back tears behind my smiles. Now, I won't be blue with dreams that won't come true. I'll take my heart, and head right for the door. I know I must seem quite unkind to wander off tonight And leave the moon up above to hold your gaze. It's only that my foolish heart is bound with foolish pride. Maybe some day I'll see the sunshine upon your face. Now I won't be blue with dreams that won't come true. I'll take my heart, and head right for the door. I'll take my heart, and head right for the door... ============= 2985 ================ Foolish Pride Once I had a true love sweeter than the stars above And I loved her with all my heart It brought tears in her eyes when I told her goodbye All because of my fool foolish pride Oh foolish pride I can't live with you For you have driven away my darling You have broken her heart now you're keeping us apart Foolish pride I'll never forgive you We would sit all alone she would talk of our home And of days when she'd be my own wife So softly she would say when is our wedding day I'm so happy my darling I could cry ============= 2986 ================ Lucinda Williams -

She hit the San Diego Freeway doing sixty miles an hour. She had a husband on her bumper, she had five restless children. And she was singing as sweet as a mockingbird in that Ford Econoline. And she's the salt of the earth, Straight from the bosom of the Mormon church, With a voice like wine, Cruising along in that Ford Econoline. Her husband was a gambler, he was a Salt Lake City rambler, And he built a golden cage around his silver-throated wife. So many nights he left her crying with his cheating and his lying, But his big mistake was in buying her that Ford Econoline. She's the salt of the earth, Straight from the bosom of the Mormon church, With a voice like wine, Cruising along in that Ford Econoline. She's the salt of the earth, Straight from the bosom of the Mormon church, With a voice like wine, Cruising along in that Ford Econoline. Now she sings her songs around this country from Seattle to Montgomery, Those kids are grown and that rounder knows you cannot cage your wife. Along the back roads of our nation, she's become a living legend, She drives a Coupe De Ville but her heart rides still in that Ford Econoline.

She was overflowing With everything we need We took so much we never saw The forest for the trees. This land she is my lover She fills me with desire Seasons come and seasons go Earth water wind and fire. I cleared this land with my bare hands She gave me everything so free She gave so much I couldn't see The forest for the trees. I'm an addict with a habit I'm kept so well supplied With all my greed and hope and love and fear 1 can't be satisifed. I took my young son up on a clear cut mountain I fell down on my knees I prayed that he would someday see the forest for the trees I pray that we might someday see the forest for the trees. ============= 3020 ================ Forest Lawn Tom Paxton Oh lay me down in Forest Lawn in a silver casket. Put golden flowers over my head in a silver basket. Let the drum and bugle corp blow taps while the cannons roar. And sixteen liveried employees pass out souvenirs from the funeral store. I want to go simply when I go They'll give me a simple funeral there I know With a casket lined in fleece And fireworks spelling out "rest in peace." Oh take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn Oh lay me down in Forest Lawn they understand there. And they have a heavenly choir and a military band there. Just put me in their care, I'll find my comfort there, With sixteen planes and a last salute, dropping a cross in a parachute. I want to go simply when I go. They'll give me a simple funeral there I know, With a hundred strolling strings And topless dancers with golden wings. Oh take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn Oh, come, come, come, come, Come to the church in the wild wood. Kindly leave a contribution in the pail. Be as simple and as trusting as a child would, And we'll sell you the church in the dale. To find a simple resting place is my desire. To lay me down with a smiling face comes a little bit higher. My likeness done in brass, will stand in plastic grass, And weights and hidden springs tip it's hat to the mourners filing past. I want to go simply when I go. They'll give me a simple funeral there I know. I'll lie beneath the sand With piped in tapes of Billy Graham. Oh take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn. Rock of ages cleft for me For a slightly higher fee. Oh take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn. ============= 3021 ================ Forever Recorded by Johnny Duncan Written by Buddy Killen G C G C Hold me kiss me whisper sweetly G Am G C D7 That you'll love me forever G C G C Want me need me tell me sweetly G Am G Dm G That you'll love me forever C G Dm G Forever and ever my love will be true C A7 D7 Forever and ever I'll love only you G C G D7 G Baby hold me and kiss me and whisper so sweetly Am G C G That you'll love me that you'll love me forever C G Dm G Forever and ever my love will be true C A7 D7 Forever and ever I'll love only you G C G C Hold me kiss me whisper sweetly G Am G C D7 That you'll love me forever G C G C Want me need me tell me sweetly G Am G That you'll love me forever ============= 3022 ================ Forever Ain't That Long Anymore Recorded by Rhonda Vincent Written by Wayne Southards and William Blake C G7 C Somewhere tonight a woman cries alone G7 C Broken vows from the love that has gone wrong Em F Her dreams and plans lay shattered on the floor G7 C Forever ain't that long anymore G7 C Just down the street he tries to wave goodbye G7 C His world has been destroyed because her love has died Em F He watched as she just walked out the door G7 Forever ain't that long anymore C F C With the best of intentions their hearts believed F G7 That it would last for all eternity Am G7 F Oh the despair when love turns to war C G7 C Forever ain't that long anymore G7 C When the fighting stops and the healing is through G7 C Forgetting not that easy when they start anew Em F They'll try love again just like they did before G7 Forever ain't that long anymore Repeat #3 Am G7 F Oh the despair when love turns to war C G7 Am F Forever ain't that long anymore C G7 C Forever ain't that long anymore ============= 3023 ================ Forever and Ever Forever and ever I'll love you I swear by the stars up above you There never will be any other I'll love you forever and ever The sun in the sky may stop shining And the salty old sea may run dry The Man in the Moon may stop smiling But I'll always be by your side Forever and ever I'll love you No other lips ever will kiss me No other arms ever will hold me No other heart ever will miss me I'll love you forever and ever Forever and ever I'll love you ============= 3024 ================ Forever And Ever, Amen Randy Travis You may think that I'm talking foolish.

He was last seen with his friend, A drummer, he resembles George Harrison of the Beatles But he wears his hair tied in a small bow at the back. I love him but it embarrasses me To walk down the streets with him. He lives in Brooklyn somewhere And wears this white crash helmet. He has golden chains on his leather jacket And on the back are written the names Mary, and Mom, and Hell's Angels. I would gratefully Appreciate it if you see him, tell him I'm in the park with my girlfriend And please Tell him Angela and I Don't want the two dollars back, Just him! Notes: From "Hair".

And it was during this time that he was called upon to speak at a funeral And the poem I want to recite for you now is a true experience of Tommy's And it's simply called The Funeral. (Sang) A funeral is always a saddening thing For everybody is somebody to someone But some funeral scenes chill you to the bone And one day in our town we had one. A very young mother had died Something that you just don't expect And the shops and stores had all closed their doors They did it out of love and respect. And in the crowded funeral home that day With everyone present weeping The sound of a little girl's voice was heard She said, 'That's my mommie, she's sleeping.' Then I heard the sound of her little feet tap tap tap As she made her way down the aisle Her little purse dangled from her tiny wrist and it brushed her best Sunday dress And she boldly asserted the confidence That little folks like her possess. To the life that has no final chapter There's no ending and no last mile The preacher and the rest were petrified But on the little girl's face was a smile. She said wake up mommie wake up And still not satisfied she reached out with her little hand And touched her face and cried Then the broken hearted daddy spoke With a gentleness and with power And the words that issued from his lips Was the sermon for the hour. In a child like faith he told her That the dead in Christ will rise God gave us his word he said And we know he never lies. We can't wake up our sleeping mommie But we know someone who can Baby, only God can wake up mommie Let's go home and leave her in his hands... ============= 3128 ================ Funny Face written and recorded by Donna Fargo [3/4 time] F C Funny face I love you funny face I need you G7 C G7 My whole world's wrapped up in you C F C When the roads I travel seem all up hill G7 C And the colors in my rainbows turn blue F G7 C You kiss my tears away you smile at me and say G7 C Funny face funny face I love you F C Funny face I love you funny face I need you G7 C C7 These are the sweetest words I've ever heard F C F C Funny face don't leave me funny face believe me G7 C G7 My whole world's wrapped up in you C F C And when I hurt your feelings like I sometimes do G7 C And I say those mean things we know are not true F G7 C You forgive my childish ways you hold me close and say repeat #2 ============= 3129 ================ Funny What A Pair Of Fools Will Do Recorded by Carl Belew and Betty Jean Robinson Written by Carl Belew and Van Givens C F You're so good to me and I'm so bad to you G7 You won't slip around on me C And I just can't be true I tried hard to make you happy F You keep making me feel blue G7 C Ain't it funny what a pair of fools will do F Every time you turn your back on me I slip around on you G7 Though I've never caught you slippin' round C I know each time you do You're tryin' hard to make me happy F But I keep makin' you feel blue G7 C Ain't it funny what a pair of fools will do G7 C Take a look at me then take a look at you D7 We're livin' proof there's nothing G7 That a pair of fools won't do C F You'd stopped loving me if I did the same to you G7 C Ain't it funny what a pair of fools will do G7 C Ain't it funny what a pair of fools will do ============= 3130 ================ Funny When You Feel That Way I cant forget how queer I felt When first I fell in love I had a most sincere tactor Squeezing a lady's glove Her lovely hand was in it As I waltzed around so gay I thought myself in paradise It's funny when you feel that way It's funny when you feel that way It's funny when you feel that way I thought myself in paradise It's funny when you feel that way Again we met one afternoon As we were all alone I pumped up nerve to ask if she Would one day be my own She blushed and said go ask poppa And ask him if I may I danced a cantor around the room It's funny when you feel that way It's funny when you feel that way It's funny when you feel that way I danced a cantor around the room It's funny when you feel that way The old boy said that we might we And so he crowned my bliss I shall be a double man In about a month from this Though it seemed to me somehow the time Will never pass away For I long to hear the wedding bells It's funny when you feel that way It's funny when you feel that way It's funny when you feel that way I long to hear the wedding bells It's funny when you feel that way ============= 3131 ================ Further Longview And the same when autumn comes Cold air I breathe in my lungs Somethings new but nothings changed Familiar feelings just the same Soon too the warm air comes by Lie back and stare at blue skies Thinking back away and from When I'll be here and you'll be gone Further, further, further, further, Further, further, further, further from me I think now of summers high And reminisce of past times gone by Only remembered now in Earth, trees the stars that have been there And there forever held Kept safe but memories never told But felt if you went by In never changing sky And will be gone Further, further, further, further, Further, further, further, further Further, further, further, further, Further, further, further, further God's love will save our light And we'll come shining bright God's love will save our sun And thy will be done ============= 3132 ================ Linda Ronstadt - Gainesville I was born in Gainesville, Florida And my father was a tailor And my mother ran a cafe near the university I've a brother died aborning And another who's a sailor I've a sister who is older, and living on her own I have tried all my life to be kind to others Even when others were unkind to me I've been told all my life when I found someone He would look at me and I'd know Are you really mine?

Wasn't that a mighty storm Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning Wasn't that a mighty storm It blew all the people away. The sea began to rolling the ships they could not land I heard a captain crying Oh God save a drowning man The rain it was a falling and the thunder began to roll The lightning flashed like Hell-fire and the wind began to blow The trees fell on the island and the houses gave away Some they strived and drownded others died every way. The trains at the station were loaded with the people all leaving town But the trestle gave way with the water and the trains they went on down Old death the cruel master when the winds began to blow Rode in on a team of horses and cried death won't you let me go. The flood it took my mother it took my brother too I thought I heard my father cry as I watched my mother go Old death your hands are clammy when you've got them on my knee You come and took my mother won't you come back after me? ============= 3137 ================ Galway Bay Traditional It's far away I am today from scenes I'd wandered by, And long ago, the hour, I know, I first saw Illinois. For time, nor tide, nor waters wide, could wean my heart away. Forever true, it flies to you, my own dear Galway Bay. Oh grey and bleak by shores and creeks, the rugged rocks abound, And sweet and green the grass between, as grows on Irish ground. The friendships fond, and wealth abound, and the love that lives always. Bless every home beside your foam, my own dear Galway Bay. Had I youth's blood an hopeful mood and a heart of fire once more, For all the gold the world might hold I'd never leave your shore. I'd be content with whatever God sent, with neighbors old and grey. I'd lay my bones 'neath churchyard stones, above you Galway Bay. The blessings of a poor old man be with you night and day The blessings of a lonely man, whose heart will soon be clay. It's all of heaven I ask of God upon my dying day, My soul will soar forevermore above you Galway Bay. ============= 3138 ================ Dolly Parton - Gamble Either Way lyrics (Dolly Parton) Being born was the worse and the first mistake I ever made The doctor didn't spank me, he just slapped me in the face And the cup of love was always quenching someone else's thirst Leaving me to swallow the bitter taste of hurt 'Cause I was raised an orphan Never wanted as a kid until the year I turned 13 Then everybody did, strangers pass me back and forth Men just took me as they pleased And others had a Cinderella slave to cook and clean and weep Though the deck is stacked against you Win or lose, you have to play The hand a life has dealt you And It's a gamble either way On a dust road at 15 in a yellow cotton dress With the desert sun like an angry dragon breathing down my neck And the dry cracked plains would make me think of a prehistoric time Or should I fear what lay before me less than what I'd left behind A 15 year old girl don't have no trouble hitching rides But sometimes when you're riding free You'll pay the highest price On back roads and in back seats And in a cheap highway motel But what's a few more strangers in a life of nothing else Though the deck is stacked against you Win or lose, you have to play The hand a life has dealt you And It's a gamble either way 16 caught me crying, underneath the scarlet light On the door steps of a stranger on a cold and rainy night When I walked into the parlour here Other pieces seemed to fit I was good at pleasing strangers So I made the most of it Either way it's all a gamble So view the stakes and know the odds And lay your cards upon the table Do all the dealing from the top Though the deck is stacked against you Win or lose, you have to play The hand a life has dealt you And It's a gamble either way ============= 3139 ================ Gambler's Blues (St. James Infirmary) Traditional I went down to old Joe's barroom, On the corner by the square. The drinks were served as usual, And a goodly crowd was there. On my left stood old Joe McKennedy, And his eyes were bloodshot red; He turned to the crowd around him, These are the words he said: I went down to St. James Infirmary To see my baby there, She was lyin' on a long white table, So sweet, so cool, so fair. Went up to see the doctor, "She's very low," he said; Went back to see my baby Good God! She's lying there dead. Let her go, let her go, God bless her; Wherever she may be She may search the wide world over And never find a better man than me. Oh, when I die, please bury me In my ten dollar Stetson hat; Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain So my friends'll know I died standin' pat. Get six gamblers to carry my coffin Six chorus girls to sing me a song Put a twenty-piece jazz band on my tail gate To raise Hell as we go along.

A southern bell in soft white cotton, clinging to her like a breeze. (CHORUS) Nothing's sweet as Georgia peaches, when you pick them for yourself. Wait too long there?re out of season, They'll be gone to someone else. She ask me Boy where do you come from? Are you only passing through? I'd like to know what brings you down here, I made her smile when I said YOU. A stolen moment too quickly faded, as she pulled away her hand. She said I'm sorry it's been taken, promised to another man. (REPEAT CHORUS) Sometimes in dreams that Macon highway, winding through the lonesome pines.

Stitched by threads of notes with perfect pitch, perfectly composed Sound in tune and key, a code of rhythm, and harmony But when I awoke my coat was worn and my words were plain Each song that I sang all the notes were wrong and poorly played Both my sleeves had holes, my knees were patched, my shoes needed soles No clever disguise no way to hide my offensive tone But I, I wish for you more than I

lonely night The shadows gripped at everything and held them from my sight The trees gave way to moonlight on the hills beyond my gaze And my eyes caught sight of something there in the foggy midnight haze The air was damp the night was cold and quiet deathly still I climbed up through the grey moonlight and stood upon that hill What I'd seen from down below before me now did lay It was a handmade cross with stones around to mark a six foot grave The cross was rough and made of wood a worn and weathered pine Bound together tightly with bits of wire and twine The weeds grew up between the stones that marked that narrow grave And I wondered who so long ago had in this ground been laid We know now what became of him, but not from where he came Were his last days filled with loneliness with sorrow or with pain And who was left behind to grieve and make this humble tomb And who has come before me to his place of final doom How did he make his way in life will in death he do the same Was

And now he was back with the living And he found himself reaching for the phone.

She'll write a song about their relationship titled "Headlock on My Heart" and feature her massive muscleman in the video. Dolly: Now this actually came out in this magazine. Now, you folks I'm sure buy these every week at the supermarket, right? And you know they never put anything in these magazines that's not true, right? So I figured since I was gonna fall in love anyhow, why wait? So I went out and I found me a 300 pound wrestler and I sat down and I wrote a song called "Headlock on My Heart" and I did a video. As a matter of fact, in the same magazine on a page opposite, there was a picture of Hulk Hogan. Now, I love Hulk Hogan. My Daddy's crazy about him, so I called Hulk, I said "Would you do this?" 'Cause the song is a fantasy, and it's about a guy named Starlight Starbright. He said "Aw sure, I'd do anything with you, Dolly!" I said "Well, thanks, Hulk, I ought to hug your neck!" So wouldn't that be something if me and Hulk really wound up getting married? Watch this video... Song: The first time that I saw him Was in a wrestling magazine. Then I watched him on TV, Then I bought a ringside seat. His name was Starlight Starbright, The greatest in the land. He sprinkled stardust in my eyes I was his biggest fan. He's got a headlock on my heart. It was a takedown from the start. He's a master of the art. He's got a headlock on my heart. Spoken: Referee: 300 pounds of magic right here in the ring tonight.

"Nothing, what's with you? Nothing much to do."

From full color animation To black and white, cold and aloof But today, that does not matter There's no need for proof. New reason for being. Seeing isn't always believing And his thoughts flow To his heroes. From the heat of the sun to the pouring rain Their medicine is his pain. In his blood it flows Because of his heroes. To dream of diamonds Only to wake in their dust Consumed and wanting it all Consumed by lust It wears on the beauty inside Its as sleepless as rust To be there, to listen and to love, An offering of what's right. Your foundation's strong when your walls Come crashing down. How do you put up a fight? You are all the colors of the rainbow, You're a complete ray of light. In the middle of the night With your light on How I pray that you are well. All this time working the fields, You nursed and healed us. You let us think for ourselves. I was thinking that I never told you You are my heroes. So, here's to you, my heroes, I love you. ============= 3829 ================ Hesitation Blues Well, nickel is a nickel, I said, dime is a dime I need a new gal, she won't mind Tell me how long do I have to wait?

Let persecution rage around And Antichrist appear; My silent dust beneath the ground; There's no disturbance there. To call poor sinners to repent And seek their Savior dear. My brother preachers, boldly speak And stand on Zion's wall. Confirm the drunk, confirm the weak And after sinners call. My loving wife, my bosom friend, The object of my love, The time's been sweet l've spent with you, My sweet and harmless dove, My little children near my heart My warm affections know. From each the path will I attend. O from them can I go?! O God, a father to them be And keep them from all harm, That they may love and worship Thee And dwell upon Thy charm. How often you have looked fer me And often seen me come. But now I must depart from thee And nevermore return. My loving wife, don't grieve fer me, Neither lament nor mourn; Fer I will with my Jesus be And dwell upon his charm. VERSION number two -------------------------- The time is swiftly rolling on When I must faint and die, My body to the dust return And there forgotten lie. Let persecutions rage around, Let Antichrist appear; Beneath the cold and silent ground There's no disturbance there. Through heats and cold I've toiled and went And wandered in despair; To call poor sinners to repent And seek the Savior dear. My brother preachers, boldly speak And stand on Zion's wall. Confirm the strong, revive the weak, And after sinners call. My little children, near my heart, And nature seems to bind, It grieves me sorely to depart And leave you here behind. Oh Lord, a father to them be And keep them from all harm That they may love and worship Thee And dwell upon Thy charm. My loving wife, my bosom friend, The object of my love, The time's been sweet I spent with thee, My sweet, my harmless dove. Though I must now depart from thee Let this not grieve your heart, For you will shortly come to me Where we shall never part. ============= 3852 ================ Hide Recorded by Vernon Oxford Written by Liz Anderson [3/4 time] C F Never again will I hold you so close to me G7 C For now you love someone else F Where can I go to be free from your memory G7 C Where can I hide from myself F C Where can I hide and your memory won't find me F C Hide till the heartaches are gone F C Where nothing will ever remind me G7 C And I'll be alone from now on F Now I'm so weary so tired of living G7 C I couldn't forget about you F Here's the river may heaven forgive me G7 C Of what you have forced me to do F C Here I will hide and your memory won't find me F C Hide where the heartaches are gone F C Where nothing will ever remind me G7 C And I'll be alone from now on G7 C And I'll be alone from now on ============= 3853 ================ Billy Strings Hide And Seek A twisted game of hide and seek The stench of darkness and defeat Another day without relief Leaves me broken Curtains falling all around Echoes up from underground Screaming out without a sound Leaves me breathless Well it's a dark time I do believe A cold winds a blowin' at my door Incredible light I'm gonna find Where I don't have to worry anymore A feast for eyes deprived of peace Internal pressure no release Pain eternal my disease Neverending Paralyzed and drowned in thought All the things that I have lost My salvation can't be bought Drains me empty Well it's a dark time I do believe A cold winds a blowin' at my door Incredible light I'm gonna find Where I don't have to worry anymore I wasn't ready to believe Constant failure to achieve Nothing hidden up my sleeve I remember Well it's a dark time I do believe A cold winds a blowin' at my door Incredible light I'm gonna find Where I don't have to worry anymore It's a dark time I do believe A cold winds a blowin' at my door Incredible light I'm gonna find Where I don't have to worry anymore ============= 3854 ================ Richard Thompson -

this country cyclops who measured six foot nine Came up to Little Will and said, "You stole that little girl of mine" Then there was a awful brawl boy it was a dilly When the fighting stopped there on top stood Hillbilly Willy Now the moral of the story is to be a lover you gotta be tough Even if you're just five feet tall you gotta be able to strut your stuff Now to all you lovers in radioland, if

In the beautiful hills, way back in Roan Country There's where I roamed for many long years There's where my heart's been tending most ever That's where the first step of misfortune I made I was thirty years old when I courted and married When Armanda Gilbreath was then called my wife Her brother stabbed me for some unknown reason Just three months later I'd taken Tom's life For twenty five years this whole world I rambled I went to old England to France and to Spain And I thought of my home way back in Roan Country I boarded a steamer and came back again I was captured and tried in the village of Kingston Not a man in the country would speak a kind word When the jury came in with the verdict next morning A lifetime in prison was the word that I heard When the train pulled out, poor mother stood weepin And sister she sat, alone with a sing And the last words I heard was, Willie God bless you Was Will God bless you, God bless you, good bye Sweet Martha was buried but corey was better There's better and worse, although you can see Boys when you write home form the prison in Nashville Place one of my songs in your letter for me ============= 3906 ================ Hippie Boy Flying Burrito Brothers I was walking down the street the other day A sight came before my eyes It was a little hippie boy I must have been twice his size His appearance typefied his strange breed Gaudy clothes, long stringy hair hanging down I'd seen perhaps a thousand In my early trips to town As he walked on beside me on down the block I noticed no unpleasing smell He might have been on the weed or even LSD But if he was I couldn't tell So we walked together that way through this neighborhood Finally he turned around to me and he He said "friend you know we're a million miles apart But you know something? We can enjoy the sunshine and the weather So why don't we put our differences aside And just talk to each other? You see this box beneath my arm? To you it's plain, it has no charm But to someone dearest to my heart This box has played a tragic part This little one can't tell you himself About his life and how he died But if anyone else could speak for him, I guess I'm qualified This boy was in Chicago, he didn't know why he was there He was with his family and friends and he didn't really care You might have been one of those who saw The struggle there on your television screen The tragic thing is so much else happened That no one else could have seen A stranger handed this boy a dollar To do a simple chore To carry a package to a nearby hotel And when he returned he'd get two more But when he came back he sort of lost his way walking through the crowd One of them things you ask yourself, How the Lord allowed But when he was found he was like he is now, Dreaming sweet and still And in his little hand was a crumpled dollar bill Now you can take that dollar Get four cents on it, compound it quarterly at any downtown bank So they can back some hot new tank or atom bomb Well, what I'm going to tell you now, you can stay or you can leave You kind of listened to my story so far but just one more thing It's the same for any hippie, bum or hillbilly out on the street Just remember this little boy and never carry more than you can eat Now could you help us sing this song, please There will be peace in the valley for him now we pray I will think of the little hippie boy that way ============= 3907 ================ Hirem Pawnitof / Fairies' Hornpipe It's of a famous highwayman a story I will tell His name was Hirem Pawnitof, in bread street he did dwell Through all the storms of his career few troubles he had missed His tale was wrote from ear to ear, and he looked like this: Throughout the land his gallant band in many a song did star With Biceps dead, and Pretty Boy fled, and Boothill claimed Bill Star Though the best are gone, he still rides from Leeds to Carter Bar Weedy and few his motley crew And here they are: His purse was lined with empty air, his wherewithall was low The last good swag to pad his lag was 40 years ago His motley band were out of hand, their breakfast they had missed Then travellers two hove into view And he challenged them like this. The stranger turned to his lady fair A smile played on his lips What's the deal, are they for real they've been taking too many trips No gold need we, we travel free, here's something we won't miss A treasure map from Gabby the Flap And he gave it him like this: His glasses perched upon his nose the map he carefully sussed Each robber's eye filled with surprise, there's gold in it for us The strangers waved the band goodbye but they did not see them go Hirem got his compass out, said follow me lads, Westard Ho Then had not gone but 20 yards when a pieman they did spy They smacked their lips with hunger keen - my kingdom for a pie The peddlar twinkled once or twice Not one word did he say With snake-like eyes he shouted 'pie' and he struck him on the head with the tray At that moment Hirem Pawnitof attained enlightenment. Come on said Hirem laughing much Let's see what's down this road His troop were dropping, wearily stooping men of no fixed a bode Just then a milkmaid Hirem spied their hearts were filled with bliss Like long lost friends who meet again they fondly kissed like this I need a man around the place the milkmaid breathed with charm And Hirem twirled his long mustache and took her by the arm The last we heard they all lived there doing what the law allows They all ate breakfast every day, happily growing cows. ============= 3908 ================ His And Hers Recorded by Vernon Oxford Written by Paul Craft C G7 In the carport two cars his and hers C On the towel rack two towels his and hers C7 F In the bedroom the bed with two pillows still wet G7 C G7 With the teardrops they shed his and hers C G7 The kids ride their bikes his and hers C Say their prayers every night his and hers C7 F And it's plain from the start when the day comes too hard G7 C G7 It will break two little hearts his and hers C G7 In the courtroom two sides his and hers C It's a question of pride his and hers C7 F What a pity we say to see marriage today G7 C Going separate ways his and hers G7 C Why did it have to be mine and yours G7 F C Why did it have to be mine and yours ============= 3909 ================ His Eye Is on the Sparrow Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come, Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home, When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He: His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me. I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free, For His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. "Let not your heart be troubled," His tender word I hear, And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears; Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me. I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free, For His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise, When songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies, I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me. I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free, For His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. ============= 3910 ================ His Promised Land Recorded by Rhonda Vincent Written by

Last Ride Riding on an east bound freight train speeding thru the night Hobo Bill a railroad bum was fighting for his life The sadness of his eyes revealed the torture of his soul He raised a weak and weary hand to brush away the cold No warm lights flicker 'round him no blankets there to fold Nothing but the howling wind and the driving rain so cold When he heard a whistle blowing in a dreary kind of way The hobo seemed contented for he smiled there where he lay Outside the rain was falling on that lonely boxcare door But the little form of Hobo Bill lay still upon the floor While the train sped thru the darkness and the raging storm outside No-one knew that Hobo Bill was taking his last ride It was early in the morning when they raised the Hobo's head The smile still lingered on his face but Hobo Bill was dead There was no mother's longing to soothe his weary soul For he was just a railroad bum who died out in the cold ============= 3918 ================ Hobo Blues I got a hole

don't hang in nowhere for too long 'Cause I'm caught up in the feeling of the singin' brakemans song I got the hobo blues deep down in my bones When I die oh won't you bury me in an old box car With a coffee can and my old guitar But make sure that I'm close enough to hear that passin' train I got the freight train fever chuggin' through my veins ============= 3919 ================ Emmylou Harris -

policemen there I know your clothes are torn and ragged And your hair is turning grey Lift your head and smile at trouble You'll find happiness some day So go to sleep you weary hobo Let the towns drift slowly by Don't you feel the steel rail humming That's a hobo's lullaby ============= 3920 ================ Emmylou Harris - Hobo's Meditation Written by Jimmie Rodgers 1933 Peer International Corp Last night as I lay on the boxcar Just waiting for a train to pass by What will become of the hobo Whenever his time comes to die There's a Master up yonder in heaven Got a place that we might call our home Will we have to work for a living Or can we continue to roam Will there be any freight trains in heaven Any boxcars in which we might hide Will there be any tough cops or brakemen Will they tell us that we cannot ride Will the hobo chum with the rich man Will we always have money to spare Will they have respect for the hobo In that land that lies hidden up there Will there be any freight trains in heaven Any boxcars in which we might hide Will there be any tough cops or brakemen Will they tell us that we cannot ride Will the hobo chum with the rich man Will we always have money to spare Will they have respect for the hobo In that land that lies hidden up there ============= 3921 ================ Hobo's Meditation I have often dreamed of a far off place Where a hero's welcome would be waiting for me Where the crowds will cheer when they see my face And a voice keeps saying this is where I'm meant to be I'll be there someday, I can go the distance I will find my way if I can be strong I know every mile will be worth my while When I go the distance I'll be right where I belong Down an unknown road to embrace my fate Though the road may wander, it will lead me to you And a thousand years would be worth the wait It may take a lifetime but somehow I'll see it through And I won't look back, I can go the distance And I'll stay on track, no, I won't accept defeat It's an uphill slope but I won't lose hope Till I go the distance and my journey is complete But to look beyond the glory Is the hardest part For a hero's strength Is measured by his heart Like a shooting star I can go the distance I will search the world, I will face its harms I don't care how far I can go the distance Till I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms I will search the world I will face its harms Till I find my hero's welcome Waiting in your arms ============= 3922 ================ Marty Stuart - Hobo's Prayer Under bridges, beneath trestles in the boxcars of dead trains

heart" She said, "I can spot a broken heart from twenty miles away So are you passing through or have you come to stay You're running from a woman" she said with a grin "So what've you got to say" and I said, "I am a pilgrim" Where everything out here ain't what it seems When I'm down to nothing, I just go ahead and dream And face the fact that I'm a circle in a world full of squares Trading

Old Jim stopped to smell of a box, They shot at him a bunch of rocks. Chorus: Everytime I go to town, The boys keep kickin' my dog around. It makes no difference if he is a hound, They've gotta quit kickin' my dog around. They tied a can to his tail, And ran him past the county jail. That plumb naturally made me sore. Lem, he cussed, and Bill he swore. Well, me Lem Briggs and old Bill Brown, Lost no time in hoppin' down. We whupped them town ducks up on the ground For kickin' my old Jim dog around.

But it's so hard to say the words I feel. This fancy that I'm on has been going on too long. It's time we stopped pretending things are real. 'Cause I've been living deep in sin. I've been living blind. And I don't know just what's right or wrong. To take a chance on losing you was such a silly thing to do. The chance I might wake up and find you gone. Blue, so blue, my love is burning blue. Any brighter flame would be a lie. Blue, so blue, my love still burns for you, But I know that I'll only make you cry. A thief can only steal from you. He cannot break your heart. He'll never touch the precious things inside. So one like you should surely be miles and miles away from me, Then you'd never care how much I've lied. So try to understand the pain. It takes so long when I explain. Please, don't you forget how much I've lied. ============= 4108 ================ How Much Is That Doggie In The Window Recorded by Patti Page Written by Bob Merrill [3/4 time] C G7 How much is that doggie in the window C The one with the waggley tail G7 How much is that doggie in the window C I do hope that doggie's for sale G7 I must take a trip to California C And leave my poor sweetheart alone G7 If he has a dog he won't be lonesome C And the doggie will have a good home Repeat #1 G7 I read in the paper there are robbers C With flashlights that shine in the dark G7 My love needs a doggie to protect him C And scare them away with one bark G7 I don't want a bunny or a kitty C I don't want a parrot that talks G7 I don't want a bowl of little fishies C He can't take a goldfish for a walk Repeat #1 ============= 4109 ================ How Much Is That Hound Dog In The Window Recorded by Homer and Jethro Original words and music by Bob Merrill [3/4 time] C G7 How Much Is That Hound Dog In The Winder C I do hope that fleabag's for sale G7 How Much Is That Hound Dog In The Winder C The one with the long mangy tail G7 I'll give you two-bits for that hound dog C The one with the sad achin' heart G7 Fer he looks so much like my girl friend C I can't hardly tell 'em apart Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh What kind of a dog is that That is a hot-dog Homer Boy you sure mustard that up G7 I must take a trip to Louisianer C Leave her and that hound dog alone G7 While I'm eatin' shrimp and jamboliar C They'll be home a-gnawin' a bone G7 I don't want a monkey or a baboon C I don't want a muley old cow G7 I don't want a crappie or a catfish C A catfish could never me-ow G7 How Much Is That Hound Dog In The Winder C With the basketball nose on his face G7 You know what a basketball nose is C It dribbles all over the place ============= 4110 ================ How Proud I Would Have Been Recorded by George Jones Written by Joe Poovey G C How proud I would have been to share your life of sin D7 G But you saw someone new I wouldn't do for you C I wouldn't mind at all to let my morale's fall D7 G I'd like to try again how proud I would have been C Don't think that I'm above selling my soul for love D7 G And if that's what it cost then take the price tag off C Without your love I'll be a whole lot less than me D7 G I'd like to try again how proud I would have been C G A sinners just an angel that slipped and fell C D7 For one like you I'd play a sinners part so well G C I'd stoop to any length to gain your love it seems D7 G I'd like to try again how proud I would have been Repeat #3 ============= 4111 ================ How Sad Texas Can Be BMI Work #: 8773367 How Sad Texas Can Be (Larry W.

I Remember Joe Oh, your golden lights of America, Joseph sought your prairies and your buffalo. And the humming of the rails down through Kansas, They brought Joseph in from Baltimore. The Cavalry, the Indians, and an old dan were his only friends. Then the old dan died and the Indians' plight Made the Cavalry young Joe's enemy. Oh, the outlaws spilled the blood across the Kansas plains back in the '70s. Joseph took a badge for America To defend you from your fantasies. Joseph wore that badge across the Kansas Prairies to save the railroads. But the heroes that we made, well, they were Ruthless soldiers who'd kill for gold. With a broken heart for the frontier plains, Joseph sat a-rocking in his front-porch swing. That old tin badge is tarnished now, You know it was just a young man's dream. And old man's tales are hard to reach when you Don't believe in your American Dream. The Indians, the buffalo and old Joe Mason, They died from memory. Oh, your golden lights of America, Joseph sought your prairies and your buffalo. And the humming of the rails down through Kansas, they brought Joseph in from Baltimore. The Cavalry, the Indians, and an old dan... Forsaken old man.

This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red. My father fell in love with her and soon they, too, were wed. This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life For my daughter was my mother, 'cause she was my father's wife. To complicate the matter, even though it brought me joy I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy. My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad For if he was my uncle, then that also made him brother To the widow's grown-up daughter, who, of course, was my step-mother. My father's wife then had a son who kept them on the run And he became my grand-child, 'cause he was my daughter's son. My wife is now my mother's mother, and it makes me blue Because, although she is my wife, she's my grandmother too. If my wife is my grandmother, then I am her grandchild And every time I think of it, it nearly drives me wild {For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw, This has got to be the strangest thing I ever saw} As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpaw. Chorus: I'm my own grandpaw I'm my own grandpaw It sounds funny I know but it really is so Oh, I'm my own grandpaw.

This made my dad my son-in-law, and changed my very life, For my daughter was my mother, cause she was my father's wife.

The laundry and dishes just ain't worth the fight. Headlights are dancin' across the living room wall. And that long distant highway just echos the hall. Now the babies are sleeping on back in their room, And he's been passed out on the sofa since noon. Nobody told her about none of these things, And God knows, she'd leave there if heartaches had wings. If heartaches had wings she would fly, Away like some bird through the night. It's a long, long way from a young girl's dream, But she'd surely leave there if heartaches had wings. She grew up believin' that wishes come true: A knight on a white horse, like some young girls do. So she married her the captain of the school football team, Just like she was supposed to as Homecoming Queen. If heartaches had wings she would fly, Away like some bird through the night. It's a long, long way from a young girl's dream, But she'd surely leave there if heartaches had wings. She turns out the lights and she lays down in bed, The sound of that highway still runs through her head. She closes her eyes and she whispers those prayers, And falls asleep wondering: 'Does anyone care?' If heartaches had wings she would fly, Away like some bird through the night. It's a long, long way from a young girl's dream, God knows, she'd leave there if heartaches had wings.

The bird sings no one asks why. I can see in myself wings as I feel them. If you see something else keep your thoughts to yourself. I'll fly free then. Yesterday's eyes, see their colors fading away. They see their sun turning to gray. You can't share in a dream that you don't believe in. If you say that you see and pretend to be be me, You won't be then.

a young man Went driving through the night Miles and miles without a word With just his high-beam lights Who'd have ever though they'd build Such a deadly Denver bend To be so strong, to take as long As it would till the end Chorus Another young man safely strummed his silver string guitar And he played to people everywhere Some say he was a star But he was just a country boy, his simple songs confess And the music he had in him, so very few possess Chorus Then there was an old man Kind and wise with age And he read me just like a book and he never missed a page And I loved him like my

their meaning When I think of love as something new Though I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life I love you

But watching you makes me think that that is wrong. What is important? What's really important? Am I not to know by my name? Will I ever know silence, without mental violence, will raining at night go away? It's up to you, my father call on me.

She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again, But daddy left the proof on her cheek. And I was only eight years old that summer. And I always seemed to be in the way, So I took myself down to the fair in town On Independence Day. Well word gets around in a small, small town. They said he was a dangerous man. Mama was proud, and she stood her ground, But she knew she was on the losin' end. Some folks whispered, and some folks talked, But everybody looked the other way. And when time ran out there was no one about On Independence Day. Chorus: Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing. Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning. Let the week be strong, let the right be wrong. Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay. It's Independence Day. Well she lit up the sky that fourth of July. By the time that the firemen came, They just put out the flames and took down some names And sent me to the county home. Now I ain't sayin' it's right or it's wrong, But maybe its the only way.

There I traveled, there I settled, there I raised up my family. But the cord has never severed, and the longing each day it has grown. So, tomorrow, I'll be leaving for the land that I call my home. All my friends say that I'm crazy, going back to such poverty, America is, so they say now, the land of opportunity. But the shy hare runs so swiftly and the heron slowly flies. These are treasures from my homeland that all your money can never buy. As our ship lies in the harbor, I shall look back on your shore. And I'll feel sadness that I'm leaving your green land forever more. But as our ship lies on the ocean and each day we are out on the sea. All the dreams I've had for years now, drawing nearer reality.

REPEAT CHORUS ============= 5211 ================ Isis Bob Dylan I married Isis on the fifth day of May, But I could not hold on to her very long. So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong. I came to a high place of darkness and light. The dividing line ran through the center of town. I hitched up my pony to a post on the right, Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down. A man in the corner approached me for a match. I knew right away he was not ordinary. He said, "Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?" I said, "I got no money." He said, "That ain't necessary." We set out that night for the cold in the North. I gave him my blanket, he gave me his word. I said, "Where are we goin'?" He said we'd be back by the fourth. I said, "That's the best news that I've ever heard." I was thinkin' about turquoise, I was thinkin' about gold, I was thinkin' about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace. As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold, I was thinkin' about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless. How she told me that one day we would meet up again, And things would be different the next time we wed, If I only could hang on and just be her friend. I still can't remember all the best things she said. We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice. He said, "There's a body I'm tryin' to find. If I carry it out it'll bring a good price." It was then that I knew what he had on his mind. The wind it was howlin' and the snow was outrageous. We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn. When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious, But I made up my mind that I had to go on. I broke into the tomb, but the casket was empty. There was no jewels, no nothin', I felt I'd been had. When I saw that my partner was just bein' friendly, When I took up his offer I must-a been mad. I picked up his body and I dragged him inside, Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover. I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied. Then I rode back to find Isis just to tell her I love her. She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise. Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed, I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes. I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead. She said "Where ya been?" I said "No place special." She said "You look different." I said "Well I guess." She said "You been gone." I said "That's only natural." She said "You gonna stay?" I said "If you want me to, Yes." Isis, oh, Isis, you mystical child. What drives me to you is what drives me insane. I still can remember the way that you smiled On the fifth day of May in the drizzlin' rain. ============= 5212 ================ Island Recorded by Eddy Raven Written by Eddy Raven and Troy Seals C F There was a time there was a place I loved G7 C That was my moment that's just the way it was F Dm Careless and crazy running to God knows where G7 C Now where is that heartland where is the one who cares G7 C I can hear you calling wandering boy come home soon G7 C I hear the music I see your face in the moon Em F Who am I fooling there's no need for me to pretend C G7 C I might sail forever and never find that island again F I fight with my memory find all the pieces I can G7 C Of a beautiful woman who trusted her heart in my hands F Dm Now what kind of sailor would let such a dream get lost G7 C Tonight we'd be sailing out under the southern cross repeat #2 Em F Who am I fooling there's no need for me to pretend C G7 C F I might sail forever and never find that island again C G7 C I could sail forever and never find that island again ============= 5213 ================ Isle Of Newfoundland Recorded by Singers For Fishermen C F In the cold Canadian waters north from the coast of Maine C G7 There's an island called Newfoundland swept by snow wind and rain C F C F On the island there's a village with its customs and its ways C G7 C The little town of Carmanville my home of childhood days F Those childhood days were something carefree all the time C G7 There's a girl in every story and you know there's one in mine C F C F She broke my heart so often and it stays a little sore C G7 C C7 That's the reason I left home and can't go back no more F Where the people make a living on the land and on the sea C G7 There are people on the island that mean the world to me C F C F I wish I had the power to change the course of time C G7 C And live again in Newfoundland my home of childhood times Spoken: F I'd like to watch the fishing boats as they sail across the bay C G7 To see again the farmers sow his seeds and cut the hay C F C F Well this island has no strangers cause everybody is your friend C G7 C This little isle called Newfoundland oh I'd sure love to see it again Repeat #3 F C G7 C To live again in Newfoundland my home of childhood times ============= 5214 ================ Isn't It Grand Traditional Look at the coffin with golden handles.

It?s never been mine, to win or to lose. No it?s always been yours, to pick or to choose. They say love is better when set free now have time But even when it?s better, it?s never alright.

He stole a silver dollar, spat a curse upon his pa, And off he set a-carryin' his gun. This Jack he was known around the town of Carson Gap As bein' a wild and wooly man. When he'd pick up an order of whiskey double shot, It was: Stand there with a fair and tremblin' hand. Chorus: And the sound of a train in the cold of the night Is a sound that tears at my soul. For whenever I hear a train whistlin' down, I remeber Jack Dringo. Jack was gettin' mean and liquored, and his bar bill was unpaid When he saw my little Peggy at the door. I swore if he took another step towards my gal, I'd stretch him out and lay him on the floor. Chorus There are those who do not blame me for doin' what I done, But the sherrif he's a-lookin' to the law. When that Jack was a-makin' for my Peggy at the door, I blasted out his brains and watched him fall. Chorus Now the rest of my story does not have to be told. It's a story of a man on the run. Every time I hear a train a-movin' further on, I know this cursed chase is almost done.

The father went out hunting; the boys had stayed behind. While mother tended to her chores, they wandered from her side. The two had gone to follow him and lost their way instead. By dusk the boys had not been found and fear had turned to dread. Two hundred men had gathered there to comb the mountainside. The fires were built on the highest peak in hopes they'd see the light. Oh mommy and daddy, why can't you hear our cries? The day is almost over - soon it will be night. We're so cold and hungry and our feet are tired and sore We promise not to stray again from our cabin door. Now Jacob Dibert woke one night from a strange and eerie dream. He saw a path between two hills near a dark and swollen stream. He told his wife he saw the boys huddled close beside a log. For two more nights, the dream returned - this vision sent from God. Oh mommy and daddy, why can't you hear our cries? The day is almost over - soon it will be night. We're so cold and hungry and our feet are tired and sore We promise not to stray again from our cabin door. A thousand men had searched in vain the west side of Bob's Creek. But Jacob's wife knew of this place and said to travel east. With a guide to take him there, Jacob came upon the scene. And found the boys cold and still, beneath the old birch tree. Oh mommy and daddy, look past the tears you cry We're both up in heaven now; God is by our side. As you lay us down to rest in the presence of the Lord, Know that we will meet you here at heaven's door. Oh mommy and daddy, look past the tears you cry We're both up in heaven now; God is by our side. And as you lay us down to rest in the presence of the Lord, Know that we will meet you here at heaven's door. ============= 5447 ================ The Stanley Brothers - Jacob's Ladder Hallelujah to Jesus who died on the tree To raise up his ladder of mercy for me Press onward climb upward the top is in view There's a crown of bright glory awaiting for you As Jacob was travellin was weary one day His head on a stone for a pillow did lay A vision appeared of a ladder so high It stood on the earth while the top reached the sky This ladder was tall and yet so well made Stood thousands of years and never decayed High winds from the heaven's they reeled and they rocked But the angels they guarded from bottom to top ============= 5448 ================ Jacob's Vision Recorded by Ricky Skaggs C Hallelujah to Jesus who died on the tree G7 C To raise up this ladder of mercy for me Press onward climb upward the top is in view G7 C There's a crown of right glory awaiting for you As Jacob was traveling was weary one day G7 C While at night on a stone for a pillow did lay A vision appears of a ladder so high G7 C It stood on the earth while the top reached the sky Repeat #1 This ladder is tall and yet so well made G7 C Stood thousands of years and never decayed I went from the heavens they reel and they rock G7 C But the angels they guard it from the bottom to top Repeat #1 ============= 5449 ================ Jacob's Vision Hallelujah to Jesus who died on the tree To raise up this ladder of mercy for me Press onward, climb upward, the top is in view There's a crown of right glory awaiting for you.

family graves Jeannie said, "Mommy, ain't it dark in the ground Oh, Daddy, I'd be so afraid" Then she looked up at her daddy and me And said somethin' that broke both our hearts She said, "When I die, please don't bury me 'Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark" Jeannie was always afraid of the dark And we never could understand why 'Cause we looked after Jeannie with the very best of care Because Jeannie was our only child Perhaps it was death that she was so afraid of 'Cause it took her one dark stormy night I think we always knew that we'd never see Jeannie grown 'Cause it seemed she was destined to die But on Jeannie's grave, we placed an eternal flame That glows and never loses its spark And on the darkest night, there's always a light 'Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark Our

And the kindness in his eyes I still remember. Now that he is old, They say he's angry and he's cold, That his soul is dying. He's a wealthy man's dream, And he's a working man's dime. He has stood in both men's shoes In his own damn time. The hard times of the thirties Still linger in his mind When he is lonely. He's out there in the cold, Twenty years away from home. Does he dream about his old home In San Antone? He's often watched the highways, But he's a man of sixty-five. Where ain't a soul in El Paso Who would give an old drunk a ride. Now, he traded in his draftsman's pen For a fishing pole. And his mansion on the hill Is an alley in El Paso. The anchors of the fifties Still hold to broken dreams When his sorrows grow. He's out there in the cold, Twenty years away from home. Does he dream about his old home In San Antone? He's often watched the highways, But he's a man of sixty-five. There ain't a soul in El Paso Who would give an old drunk a ride. Now, they tell me that John Philip Loved to gamble in his day. And he burned his bridges well When he walked away. He closed those corporate doors, Left his children and his home Now no one owns him. ============= 5527 ================ Tim O'Brien - John Riley John Riley came from Galway town in the years of the Irish hunger And he sailed away to America when the country was much younger Now the place was strange and work was scarce And all he knew was farming So he followed his other Irish friends to a job in the US Army Adventure calls and some men run, and this is their sad story How some get drunk on demon rum and some get drunk on glory Now they marched down Texas way to the banks of the Rio Grande They built a fort on the banks above to taunt old Santa Anna They were treated bad and paid worse, and then the fighting started And the more they fought the less they thought of the damned old US Army Adventure calls and some men run, and this is their sad story How some get drunk on demon rum and some get drunk on glory Now when the church bells rang on Sunday morn, it set his soul a shiver He saw the Senoritas washing their hair on the far side of the river Then John Riley and two hundred more Irish mercenaries And they cast their lot, right or not, south of the Rio Grande Adventure calls and some men run, and this is their sad story How some get drunk on demon rum and some get drunk on glory How they fought bravely under the flag of the San Patricios Till the Yankees soldiers beat them down at the battle of Churubusco Then fifteen men were whipped like mules On the cheeks they were hot iron branded Made to dig the graves of fifty more, who a hanging fate had handed Adventure calls and some men run, and this is their sad story How some get drunk on demon rum and some get drunk on glory Now John Riley stands and drinks alone at a bar in Vera Cruz And he wonders if it matters much if you win or if you lose "Well, I'm a man who can't go home, I'm a vagabond", says he "I'm a victim of some wanderlust and divided loyalty" Adventure calls and some men run, and this is their sad story How some get drunk on demon rum and some get drunk on glory Adventure calls and some men run, and this is their sad story How some get drunk on demon rum and some get drunk on glory ============= 5528 ================ Tony Rice - John Wilkes Booth John Wilkes Booth was a southern man, Born of an actor in Maryland, Bound for fortune on a gas-lit stage, Bound to die at a tender age. Washington to Baltimore, He played the bills and he slept with whores, And he burned inside with a hatred deep For the man who caused the south to weep. Young Abe Lincoln wasn't young no more, Tired old man when he won the war, And he dreamed at night of his death by And he saw his body in a ghastly dream, Draped in black while his widow screamed. Two silver dollars on his eyelids lay. Abraham Lincoln has died today. CHORUS: They said there were five and they said there were ten. Some say there was never more than just one man. Oh, it's awful to see Mr. Lincoln dead In the name of God and Dixie, In the name of God and Dixie Land. John Wilkes Booth and his band of men They'd failed before but would try again. When Good Friday dawned with a fickle sun, Then Booth declared the day had come. The word was passed and the guns were brought, Down to Mary Sarrat's boarding house. Sealed in a note, Booth named just four, But the gallows would sway with many more. CHORUS John Wilkes Booth went to his grave With a bullet in his neck and a broken leg, A patriot and his fantasy Of redemption, grace, and bravery. And those who hanged and those who spent Their lives behind a jailer's fence, Only Booth could have set them free From the taint of the conspiracy. ============= 5529 ================ Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye Traditional While goin' the road to sweet Athy, hurroo, hurroo While goin' the road to sweet Athy, hurroo, hurroo While goin' the road to sweet Athy, A stick in me hand and a drop in me eye, A doleful damsel I heard cry, Johnny I hardly knew ye.

take me out to play. Frolic and discuss the coming days. When I would go out on my own for all the world to see. This is what my Dad would always say. [Chorus] Keep your feet on the ground, what goes up must come down. And solitaire's a lonely game when there's no one else around. Keep Jesus on the Throne of life no matter where you're bound. He will always help you keep your feet upon the ground. The years have travelled by me, and tomorrow's gonna wait. Made a few mistakes along the way. But whenever things get really tough, I think back on the times. When I was just a girl and Dad would say. [Chorus: x2] He will always help you keep your feet upon the ground. ============= 5641 ================ Linda Ronstadt - Keepin' Out of Mischief Now Don't even go to a movie show If you're not by my side, I stay home by my radio, But I'm satisfied!

Or do they flow as one with your heartbeat With your voice and your mind? If you turn the light out in the hallway Will your shadow lose its way? Or do we share these shadows in the darkness And they move from place to place? We could share a shadow in the darkness As shadows have no face But should you sell our soul to the darkness Can you face the light of day?

Ignore the problem, that's the key, Said the woman beneath the tree, If your eyes are closed, you can't see the sunrise The phone, it rings, who could it be? Well, it ain't her, and it's not for me, Forgetting's as easy as 1-2-3 my friends say, Her face is still all too clear, her leaving me was my biggest fear, Something's got to help me steer away from her You have your life, and I have mine, Maybe we'll meet again some other time Down the long road, on another plain And like the youth I looked above, Feeling stranded without love The time was wrong, and you left me in a hole, You left me in hole (you left me in a hole), You left me in hole You left me in hole (you left me in a hole)... ============= 5769 ================ Left on Laura, Left on Lisa The Avett Brothers Nobody knows it but I am so sad Nobody knows it but I am so sad And that is the saddest of all my girl That is the saddest of all We climbed the ladder to the top of my house Never letting go of your hand The sky trades the moon for the sun my girl The sky trades the moon for the sun And I gave to you my ugly brown coat You made it pretty when you put it on Warmth in the early morning chill my girl Warmth in the early April Then you said you'd trade the love of a man Tears fell soft from your face to my hands Said you'd trade your heart for mine my girl I traded my heart for those days And you made it clear it was strictly a deal Of springtime love and that's how I should feel So I set the clock back an hour my girl I set the time a just right You see somewhere back there when I was boy Furious I had become by the point That men are just liars and thieves of sorts Men are just liars and thieves But I still believe and I stand by my words I don't know what you have seen or you've heard But somebody's lying to you my girl Somebody's lying to you You really made me believe I could stay Part with you actions in part what you said But that was just foolish pride my girl And those are only feelings inside So I'm going back to the place where we met I'm going to find the beer bottle we left Wedged in the limbs of the tree that we sat in Wedged in the magnolia tree Well we hid for days like a proud pair of thieves Too sure we were right too stubborn too leave Wasted with the moment we lifted my girl Stolen forever with you

escape this small town life But his brother was deaf and dumb And couldn't be left behind But depression was going strong then Actors were on the role One hot July a girl came through In a [?] show she was city bred and beautiful A lady to her finger tips As much at home in her velvet shoes Was left he was in hills The fell in love on a courthouse square But pretty soon her show Moved on as she couldn't stay And left he couldn't go [Chorus] So the years passed And left the crew old With only his brother home And we died it was too late To find any place sells and [?] Some night let's have a little whiskey For the summer on his mind And open his trunk And hold two velvet shoes And sit and cry He'd sit and cry [Verse 2] Most of the time he was lefty Who always had a joke Was good to his friends and neighbors And never whispered of being alone He hits sixty-eight all by himself With tobacco on his chin The TV diner in the oven And a few friends dropping in Still wants each food you chances There's just us in the world Late that year if you finally heard From the long lost velvet girl She was still so beautiful Tall, silver haired and [?] They'd take walks like they used to take

autumn's bells That glisten in colored rhymes And sings simple songs of love That echo from other times They write no words between the lines The cloud ships that soar And raise high above the shore Upon sails of fire To sunset's cathedral doors Not to die with the day that's past Or to cry for what's died before They follow the sun for one day more When yesterday's clown Who weeps when the curtains down Sees the circus has gone And tomorrow's another town Your kingdoms will have no rings To wear all your paper crowns You'll fall but my ear will hear no sound Tomorrow I'm gone I'll leave you alone with your fears I'd rather move on And you'd rather hide behind tears You cry in the starlit nears But you run when the rainbow appears So we'll walk other days our separate ways

And with all it's pain, Each night In my mind it burns. Sing sing me a song With an old melody. Take take me back home. Let the water Wash over me. A sweet little girl With pretty blonde curls. She was mommy's great joy. And she worshipped me. Cuz' I was 13 Mommy and daddy's big boy. By the pale moonlight, I snuck out one night. And walked down to old Caney Creek. But I didn't see that she followed me, As I went To the water so deep. Tonight I weep on old Caney Creek. And stand here a broken old man. In the water so clear I offer a tear, Where her fingers slipped from my hand. Sing sing me a song With an old melody. Take take me back home.

================ Dolly Parton - Letter lyrics This is the first letter that I wrote back home to mom and daddy A few days after I'd moved to Nashville June 2nd 1964 Nashville Tennesee Dear mom and daddy I hope this letter finds everybody well and happy As for me I'm fine I guess I'm just a little lonesome and a whole lot homesick I got to Nashville OK and I thought I'd better write and let you know Cause I knew you'd be worried about me And I don't let you know to worried about me Cause I'm gonna be alright Once I get settled and used to bein' away from home I didn't realize how much I loved you and all them noisy kids until I left And I didn't reaize how hard it was to eave home eiter Till I started to leave and everybody started cryin' includin' me I cried almost all the way to Nashville And I wanted to turn around a few times and come back But you know how bad I've always wanted to go to Nashville And be a singer and songwriter And I believe that if I try long enough and hard enough that someday I'll make it Don't worry about tryin' to send me any money or anything Cause I've got a job singin' on the early morning television show Here called the Eddie Hill Show And a couple of folks already told me that they might record a couple of my songs So I'll be makin' enough money to get by And I don't want you to worryin' about me bein' hungry or anything And Nashville's not exactly what I thought it was gonna be But I believe I'm gonna like it here once I get used to it And I don't want you to worryin' about me gettin' in trouble either Cause I'll be good just like I promised you I would when I left Well can't think of anything else to say I guess I'd better close for now and you write me real soon And tell everybody I said hello and I'm gonna be real anxious to hear from you Cause I sure miss you and I love you an awful lot With love as always Dolly ============= 5830 ================ Letter Bordered In Red BMI Work #: 9156169 Letter Bordered In Red (Larry

Lil' Jack Slade [Instrumental] ============= 5884 ================ Lily, Rosemary And The Jack Of Hearts Bob Dylan The festival was over, the boys were all plannin' for a fall, The cabaret was quiet except for the drillin' in the wall. The curfew had been lifted and the gamblin' wheel shut down, Anyone with any sense had already left town. He was standin' in the doorway lookin' like the Jack of Hearts. He moved across the mirrored room, "Set it up for everyone," he said, Then everyone commenced to do what they were doin' before he turned their heads. Then he walked up to a stranger and he asked him with a grin, "Could you kindly tell me, friend, what time the show begins?" Then he moved into the corner, face down like the Jack of Hearts. Backstage the girls were playin' five-card stud by the stairs, Lily had two queens, she was hopin' for a third to match her pair. Outside the streets were fillin' up, the window was open wide, A gentle breeze was blowin', you could feel it from inside. Lily called another bet and drew up the Jack of Hearts. Big Jim was no one's fool, he owned the town's only diamond mine, He made his usual entrance lookin' so dandy and so fine. With his bodyguards and silver cane and every hair in place, He took whatever he wanted to and he laid it all to waste. But his bodyguards and silver cane were no match for the Jack of Hearts. Rosemary combed her hair and took a carriage into town, She slipped in through the side door lookin' like a queen without a crown. She fluttered her false eyelashes and whispered in his ear, "Sorry, darlin', that I'm late," but he didn't seem to hear. He was starin' into space over at the Jack of Hearts. "I know I've seen that face before," Big Jim was thinkin' to himself, "Maybe down in Mexico or a picture up on somebody's shelf." But then the crowd began to stamp their feet and the house lights did dim And in the darkness of the room there was only Jim and him, Starin' at the butterfly who just drew the Jack of Hearts. Lily was a princess, she was fair-skinned and precious as a child, She did whatever she had to do, she had that certain flash every time she smiled. She'd come away from a broken home, had lots of strange affairs With men in every walk of life which took her everywhere. But she'd never met anyone quite like the Jack of Hearts. The hangin' judge came in unnoticed and was being wined and dined, The drillin' in the wall kept up but no one seemed to pay it any mind. It was known all around that Lily had Jim's ring And nothing would ever come between Lily and the king. No, nothin' ever would except maybe the Jack of Hearts. Rosemary started drinkin' hard and seein' her reflection in the knife, She was tired of the attention, tired of playin' the role of Big Jim's wife. She had done a lot of bad things, even once tried suicide, Was lookin' to do just one good deed before she died. She was gazin' to the future, riding on the Jack of Hearts. Lily washed her face, took her dress off and buried it away. "Has your luck run out?" she laughed at him, "Well, I guess you must have known it would someday. Be careful not to touch the wall, there's a brand-new coat of paint, I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint." Down the hallway footsteps were comin' for the Jack of Hearts. The backstage manager was pacing all around by his chair. "There's something funny going on," he said, "I can just feel it in the air." He went to get the hangin' judge, but the hangin' judge was drunk, As the leading actor hurried by in the costume of a monk. There was no actor anywhere better than the Jack of Hearts. Lily's arms were locked around the man that she dearly loved to touch, She forgot all about the man she couldn't stand who hounded her so much. "I've missed you so," she said to him, and he felt she was sincere, But just beyond the door he felt jealousy and fear. Just another night in the life of the Jack of Hearts. No one knew the circumstance but they say that it happened pretty quick, The door to the dressing room burst open and a cold revolver clicked. And Big Jim was standin' there, ya couldn't say surprised, Rosemary right beside him, steady in her eyes. She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts. Two doors down the boys finally made it through the wall And cleaned out the bank safe, it's said that they got off with quite a haul. In the darkness by the riverbed they waited on the ground For one more member who had business back in town. But they couldn't go no further without the Jack of Hearts. The next day was hangin' day, the sky was overcast and black, Big Jim lay covered up, killed by a penknife in the back. And Rosemary on the gallows, she didn't even blink, The hangin' judge was sober, he hadn't had a drink. The only person on the scene missin' was the Jack of Hearts. The cabaret was empty now, a sign said, "Closed for repair," Lily had already taken all of the dye out of her hair. She was thinkin' 'bout her father, who she very rarely saw, Thinkin' 'bout Rosemary and thinkin' about the law. But, most of all she was thinkin' 'bout the Jack of Hearts. ============= 5885 ================ Brad Paisley - Limes lyrics Ain't gotta have everything in your life Goin' exactly right, to party!

Would you heed the words within the winds that whisper it's too late? Would you see the reasons falling from the sky? Or the locust screaming madly as you turn around and die? Would you recognize some message to relay? Have you felt the atmospheric friction churning up above? All the traits and descriptions seem to fit just like a glove Did you see [us scratching?] backwards through the seams Crawling circles on our back with our dumbfounded expertise? Just the thought of this is riddled with disease Can you see her moving slowly to the rhythm of this song? Would you like to tag along with us? I know it won't be long Could she lead us back to somewhere you desire? Could she lead us to the doorway? Would you sit down by the fire? And would your eyes be sealed with love instead of hate? Can you see the empty chambers of your head begin to spin Leaving nothing but the cavity for all the living skin? Would you settle for the empty space within? Or just kick and scream for something else to carry your thoughts in? One foot before the other, let's begin Have you grown without a doubt or have you always wondered why? Just this morning [rushing trucibly?] flash your waking eye Do you take in or leave it as it lay? Would you give enough to life before returning to the clay? Would you think about tomorrow like today? Well, [?] open She's always hopin' We can turn this old familiar lightnin' Into a song Sun keeps burning World keeps turning Reaching out and [?] 'Til time is gone Would you listen for the echo of your long-forgotten dream? You should listen for the echo of your long-forgotten dream ============= 6074 ================ Long Gone Long gone is how I'm leaving Long gone, why do you cry This is what you wanted baby So I'm gone, long gone I have tried to make you happy Still you say I've done you wrong Oh I'm giving up my darling So I'm gone, long gone Please don't try to overtake me What I ride will be too fast This is it, we're through forever I'm gone, I'm free at last Please don't shed no tears at parting For your tears will not atone After all the pain you cause me I'm gone, long gone ============= 6075 ================ Alan Jackson - Long Hard Road lyrics "Long Hard Road" [Chorus:] It's a long, hard road I'm traveling on Seems forever I've been gone Yeah, it's a long hard road I'm traveling on Lord I need to find my way back home I hear the voice my sweet momma called me Telling me to change my ways In my mind, I smell the dogwood blooming Takes me back to yesterday [Chorus] I left behind the person that I once was I changed for good and some for bad I've wasted days and nights on love forgotten I've traded happiness for sad [Chorus] I've felt the hurt of a broken heart inside me I've felt the joy of love unchained I've seen the rain wash away a mountain Like tears have washed away my pain [Chorus] I've watched some loved ones dear to my heart dying I've heard a newborn baby's cry I've walked a path of glory and of darkness I've felt the guilt of a senseless life [Chorus] Drank to forget and I've drank to remember And I've drank for love and I've drank for hate I've danced alone with a full moon up above me Lighting the way to heaven's gate [Chorus] I've felt the love of Jesus shining on me I've felt the devil's wicked ways Prayed for forgiveness, prayed for redemption Prayed just to make it through the day [Chorus] ============= 6076 ================ The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Long Hard Road (The Sharecropper's Dream) Way back in my memory there's a scene that I recall Of a little run-down cabin in the woods Where my dad never promised that our blue moon would turn gold But he laid awake nights wishin' that it would. When the world was on our radio, hard work was on our minds. We lived our day-to-day in plain dirt fashion, With ol' overalls and cotton balls all strapped across your back Man, it's hard to make believe there ain't nothing wrong. But momma kept the Bible read and daddy kept our family fed, And somewhere in between I must have grown Cause someday I was dreamin' that a song that I was singin' Takes me down the road to where I want to go. Now I know, it's a long hard road Sometimes I remember when I stay up late at night, When the sun-up came, we got up and went In the shadows of a working' day, our moonlight hours spent Singin' songs along with Gramma's radio. Now I'm beatin' down a ol' blacktop road, sleepin' in a sack, Livin' in my memories all in vain 'Cause those city lights ain't all that bright, compared to what its like To see lightning bugs go dancin' in the rain. Momma played the guitar then, and daddy made the saw blade bend, And raindrops played the tin roof like a drum. But I just kept on dreamin' that a song that I was singin' Takes me down the road to where my name is known. Now I'm gone, and its a long hard road Yes, I know, Its a long hard road. ============= 6077 ================ Long Hot Summer Days John Hartford Gonna pick up some of them empties here Just as soon as we know where they lay Tied off of them jolly and leavin' minds On a long hot summer day For every day I work on the Illinois river I get a half a day off with pay All day long I'm makin' up barges On a long hot summer day Well I got me a gal in Pea-kin She's a good ol' gal Okay I bet she's sitting a winder fan On a long hot summer day For every day I work on the Illinois river Get a half a day off with pay All day long I'm makin' up barges On a long hot summer day Last night we had pork for supper Today It'll be chicken consume` And a fruit jar full of iced tea On a long hot summer day For every day I work on the Illinois river Get a half a day off with pay All day long I'm makin' up barges On a long hot summer day Well we put a man off in Beardstown When we come down yesterday I'm gonna off down at Alton On a long hot summer day For every day I work on the Illinois River Get a half a day off with pay All day long I'm makin' them barges On a long hot summer day For every day I work on the Illinois River Get a half a day off with pay All day long I'm makin' them barges On a long hot summer day ============= 6078 ================ Richard Thompson - Long John Silver Long John Silver, he was on me like a rash Gave him my trust, gave him my cash Should have seen through him, should have seen from the start There's nothing but black in pirate's heart Long John Silver, Long John Silver Don't bet your shirt on Long John Silver Long John Silver, Long John Silver Don't bet your shirt on Long John Silver Long John Silver, he's good with numbers He makes hay while other folks slumber Gives me the brass, and he keeps all the best The better to feather his pretty little nest Long John Silver, Long John Silver Don't bet your shirt on Long John Silver Long John Silver, Long John Silver Don't bet your shirt on Long John Silver Took all my money, my watch and chain Crack his head if I see him again Kind friends, warning take by me Not every pirate's sailing the sea Long John Silver, Long John Silver Don't bet your shirt on Long John Silver Long John Silver, Long John Silver Don't bet your shirt on Long John Silver ============= 6079 ================ Sarah Jarosz - Long Journey I have just begun A long journey that will run The length and width of summer time And the cool fall air will guide me home Yea the cool fall air will blow me home You'll be miles away I want to go, but I wanna stay The music beggin' me to go But your love can guide me home Yea your love can guide me home Stary nights and summer sun I think you just might be the one With this mountain pass keep runnin' on And I wonder if your love and guide me home Oh yea I wonder if your love can guide me home I have just begun A long journey that will run The length and width of summer time And the cool fall air will blow me home Oh love can guide me home Oh yea, I wonder if your love can guide me home ============= 6080 ================ Long Journey Home Lost all my money but a two dollar bill Two dollar bill boys, two dollar bill Lost all my money but a two dollar bill I'm on my long journey home Cloudy in the West and it looks like rain Looks like rain, boys, looks like rain Cloudy in the West and it looks like rain I'm on my long journey home It's dark and a raining and I want to go home Want to go home, boys, want to go home Its dark and a raining and I want to go home I'm on my long journey home Homesick and lonesome and I'm feeling kind of blue Feeling kind of blue, boys, feeling kind of blue Homesick and lonesome and I'm feeling kind of blue I'm on my long journey home There's black smoke a rising and it surely is a train Surely is a train boys, surely is a train There's black smoke a rising and it surely is a train I'm on my long journey home ============= 6081 ================ Long Lonesome Road Arr.

But it doesn't appear that they do Then I offered my throat to the wolf, but I just can't die All I can do is fly Tell me more, what then Safe and secure in the skirts of the midsummer wood Cooking soup with stale words and fresh meanings, it tastes so good The green wolf with his bunch of red roses is slinking away All on a summer's day ============= 6139 ================ Lorena H. D. Webster / J. P. Webster The years creep slowly by, Lorena; The snow is on the grass again, The Sun's low down the sky, Lorena, The frost gleams where the flowers have been. But the heart throbs on as wildly now As when the Summer days were nigh: Oh! the Sun can never dip so low Adown affection's cloudless sky! A hundred months have passed, Lorena, Since last I held that hand in mine, And felt the pulse beat fast, Lorena, Though mine beat faster far than thine. A hundred months--'twas flowery May, When up the hilly slope we climbed, To watch the dying of the day, And hear the distant church-bells chimed. We loved each other then, Lorena, More than we ever dared to tell; And what we might have been, Lorena, Had but our lovings prospered well! But then, 'tis past; the years are gone; I'll not call up their shadowy forms; I'll say to them: Lost years, sleep on! Sleep on! nor heed life's pelting storms. The story of that past, Lorena, Alas! I care not to repeat; The hopes that could not last, Lorena, They lived, but only lived to cheat! I would not cause e'en one regret To rankle in your bosom now; For, "if we TRY, we may forget," Were words of thine, long years ago. Yes, these were words of thine, Lorena; They burn within my memory yet; They touched some tender chords, Lorena, Which thrill and tremble with regret; 'Twas not thy woman's heart that spoke: Thy heart was always true to me; A duty, stern and pressing, broke The tie which linked my soul to thee. It matters little now, Lorena; The past -- is in the eternal past; Our heads will soon lie low, Lorena, Life's tide is ebbing out so fast.. There is a future! Oh! thank God! Of life this is so small a part! 'Tis dust to dust beneath the sod; But there, up there, 'tis heart to heart! Notes: The most popular sentimental song of the Civil War had the name Bertha in the original Henry deLafayette Webster (1824-1896) poem. But when Joseph Philbrick Webster (1819-1875), not related to Henry Webster, did the tune, he preferred a three-syllable name and invented Lorena, which is still used as a given name today. It's been said that this song was banned by at least one Civil War general as it appeared responsible for homesickness and many desertions among soldiers. One variation is to sing only Verses 1, 3 and 6. ============= 6140 ================ Gillian Welch - Loretta Oh Loretta she's my barroom girl Wears them sevens on her sleeve Dances like a diamond shines Tell me lies I love to believe Her age is always twenty two Her laughing eyes, a hazel hue Spends my money like water falls Loves me like I want her to Loves me like I want her to Oh, Loretta, won't you say to me Darling, strap your guitar on Have a little shot of booze Sing a blue a and wailing song Guitar rings a melody Guitar sings, Loretta's fine Long and lazy, blond and free I can have her any time I can have her any time Sweetest at the break of day Prettiest in the setting sun She don't cry when I can't stay 'Least not 'til she's all alone Loretta, I won't be gone long Keep your dancing slippers on Keep me on your mind a while I'm coming home I'm coming home Oh Loretta she's my barroom girl Wears them sevens on her sleeve Dances like a diamond shines Tell me lies I love to believe Her age is always twenty two Her laughing eyes, a hazel hue Spends my money like water falls Loves me like I want her to Loves me like I want her to Loves me like I want her to ============= 6141 ================ Linda Ronstadt - Los Laureles ¡Ay, qué laureles tan verdes! ¡Qué rosas tan encendidas!

Eres rosa de castilla Que sólo en mayo se ve Quisiera hacerte un invite, Pero la verda no sé Si tiene quién te lo evite, Mejor me separaré.

Love her like she's leaving, Oh and I guarantee, she won't." He said "It's sending her flowers, for no reason at all. And notes on the fridge every day. An unexpected gift, at an unexpected time, that keeps the lawyers away. And it's easy to take forever for granted, with tin cans tied to your car. And I know she tells you that she'll always be there, but I'm telling you if you're smart, " "You'll love her like she's leaving, Like all it's gonna end, if you don't. Love her like she's leaving, Oh and I guarantee, she won't." "Yeah, she could have any man she wants, you know it's true. Best way to keep her, is to keep her wanting you."

Lost in the silence but still I can hear, The sound of my own breaking heart, I can't pretend that my world isn't falling apart. And I don't wanna go through love like this, 'Cause I won't ever know what I might have missed. I wanna burn with desire, I want to feel the fire when we kiss, But I don't wanna go through love like this. I still remember the taste of your skin, The sound of you saying my name, The way that it felt as we laid in the sand, And passion came crashing like waves. The wind of your laughter, the longing, The love lead us to lacking inside There must be some way for lovers to turn the trash. 'Cause I don't wanna go Like strangers living like two people Who'd never known what is like to be loved. I want to burn with desire; I want to feel the fire of every kiss But I don't wanna go through love, No, I'm not gonna go through love, I'm not willing to go through love like this. ============= 6227 ================ The Stanley Brothers - Love Me Darling Just Tonight Love me, darling just tonight Take your arms hold me tight Tommorrow you may hold another Love me, darling just tonight Try to find true love in your heart Tommorrow we may not have to part But if you feel you must leave me Love me, darling just tonight * Refrain You say tommorrow you are leavin' I hope you know this way is wrong I pray to God you won't leave me Love me, darling just tonight * Refrain ============= 6228 ================ Love Me Darlin' Just Tonight Love me darlin just tonight Take your arms and hold me tight Tomorrow you may hold another Love me darlin' just tonight You say tomorrow you're leaving WEll I hope you know the way that's right Well I pray to God you don't leave me Love me darlin just tonight Try to find true love in your hard Tomorrow we may not have to part But if you feel you must leave me Love me darlin just tonight ============= 6229 ================ The Chicks - Love Me Like A Man The men that I've been seeing Well they got their soul up on a shelf You know they could never love me Cuz they can't even love themselves But I want someone to love me Baby I want one to understand Won't put himself above me Who can love me like a man I never seen such losers Even though I tried Find a mind to take me home instead of Taking me for a ride Baby, I use someone to care Believe it when I tell you darlin' You can love me like a man Oh they want me to rock them Like my back ain't got no bone I want a man whose gonna rock me Like my backbone was his own Baby, I want to wait until you can Believe it when I tell you darlin' You can love me like a man Come home sad and lonely Feel like I wanna cry Come over here and hold me baby And don't ever ask the reason why I said I, I want a lover Won't have to work to understand Don't put yourself above me baby Love me like a man ============= 6230 ================ Love Me One More Time That night we parted long ago I vowed my love I'd never show Sweetheart I find that I can't hide My love beneath this foolish pride If I could hold you one more time And kiss the lips that once were mine It would ease this aching hearrt of mine If you would say you love me one more time Oh won't you take me back once more Give me the love I'm longing for It would ease this aching heart of mine If you would say you love me one more time ============= 6231 ================ Linda Ronstadt - Love Me Tender Love me tender Love me true Take me to your heart For it's there that I belong And we'll never part Love me tender Love me true All my dreams fulfill For my darling I love you And I always will Love me tender Love me long Tell me you are mine For it's there that I belong Till the end of time Love me tender Love me true All my dreams fulfill For my darling I love you And I always will Love me tender Love me true All my dreams fulfill For my darling I love you And I always will ============= 6232 ================ Love Me When You Can Written and recorded by Merle Haggard G7 C F C I know you can't always be here with me G7 C You can't find what all you need with just one man F C You're hardly ever free and seldom lonely F C G7 C What I'm trying to say is love me when you can F C And don't feel like I expect you to be true to me G7 Anytime you have to leave I'll understand C F C I don't have what all it takes to keep you happy F C G7 C What I'm tryin' to say is love me when you can G7 C F C Let me be the one you sometimes come to G7 C You just barely have time for one more friend F C I'll be satisfied with any crumb you throw me F C G7 C What I'm tryin' to say is love me when you can F C Don't feel like I expect you to be true to me G7 Anytime you have to leave I'll understand C F C I'll be satisfied with any crumb you throw me F C G7 C What I'm tryin' to say is love me when you can ============= 6233 ================ Love Minus Zero / No Limit Bob Dylan My love she speaks like silence, Without ideals or violence, She doesn't have to say she's faithful, Yet she's true, like ice, like fire. People carry roses, Make promises by the hours, My love she laughs like the flowers, Valentines can't buy her. In the dime stores and bus stations, People talk of situations, Read books, repeat quotations, Draw conclusions on the wall. Some speak of the future, My love she speaks softly, She knows there's no success like failure And that failure's no success at all. The cloak and dagger dangles, Madams light the candles. In ceremonies of the horsemen, Even the pawn must hold a grudge. Statues made of match sticks, Crumble into one another, My love winks, she does not bother, She knows too much to argue or to judge. The bridge at midnight trembles, The country doctor rambles, Bankers' nieces seek perfection, Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring. The wind howls like a hammer, The night blows cold and rainy, My love she's like some raven At my window with a broken wing. ============= 6234 ================ Love Never Broke Anyone's Heart Recorded by Vince Gill Written by Jim Weatherly and Vince Gill C F C You say your heart has been broken F G7 And it's taking forever to mend C F C And it's left you even more certain F G7 C That you'll never love again F C A long time ago someone told me F G7 It's not love that causes the pain C F C Whenever a heart has been shattered F G7 C It's losing of love that's to blame Am F C Love never broke anyone's heart Am F G7 It never left anyone scarred C Am F C It's not really love if it tears you apart F G7 C Love never broke anyone's heart F C I know your feelings are tender F G7 And you're so afraid they won't heal C F C I'll prove to you love doesn't hurt you F G7 C And I'll show you how true love should feel repeat #3 Am F C It's not really love if it tears you apart F G7 C Love never broke anyone's heart ============= 6235 ================ Nickel Creek - Love of Mine Love of mine when you're born I tell myself that you'll never die And I throw my arms around the girl who finds you 'Cause the world is rosier through your eyes I don't suppose you caught her name.

He handed me a letter, So's I could understand That the girl I left in Tennessee Had married another man. I drove on down a little further And found that it was true.

The good-night kisses I get now, Are cruel and so demanding.

He dreamed of something better, and my mama's faith was strong And us kids were just to young to realize That another class of people put us somewhere just below; One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes. Mama never had the luxuries she wanted But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try. She only wanted things she really needed; One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.

Way up north in the Merrimac county. That's my home, that's my home. When I was younger and in my schooling I walked the mountains made of stone. The distance sang about tomorrow, And I did wish I was grown and gone. And as I grew indeed I rambled Out along the open road. There I learned the rainbow circle. It's truly said that's a sign of storm. Now I'm older my dreams they wander Far away in yesterday. I'm going home to the Merrimac county. And find the grass that hides my grave. So let the birds fly down the valley. Let the storms roam on the sea. I was born to the rainbow circle. Stormy mountain, that's home to me.

The angels replied: "Your baby has gone down the plug'ole Your baby has gone down the plug. The poor little thing was so terribly thin, He should have been bathed in a jug (in a jug).

'Son, don't start drinking and gambling, Promise you'll always go straight. ' Ten years have passed since that parting, That promise I've broke, I must say. I started gambling for pastime, At last I was just like them all. I bet my clothes and my money,fall. One night I bet all my money, Nothing was left to be seen. All that I needed to break them was one card, And that was a queen. The cards were dealt all 'round the table, Each man took a card on the draw. I drew the one that would beat them; I turned it and here's wat I saw. I saw my mother's picture, And somehow she seemed to say. 'Son, you have broken your promise,' So I tossed the cards away. My winnings I gave to a newsboy, I knew I was wrong from the start. And I'll ne'er forget that promise, To Mother, the queen of my heart. ============= 6650 ================ Motherless Children Motherless children have a hard time when their mother is dead Motherless children have a hard time when their mother is dead See them wander from door to door Lord, they've got no place to go Nobody loves you like your mother can, when your mother's dead Father will do the best he can when your mother's dead Father will do the best he can when your mother's dead Father will do the best he can Some things your father can't understand Nobody loves you like your mother can, when your mother's dead When your mother's dead When your mother's dead, Lord Nobody loves you like your mother can, when your mother's dead When your mother's dead When your mother's dead, Lord Nobody loves you like your mother can, when your mother's dead Sister will do the best she can when your mother's dead Sister will do the best she can No way she'll leave you for another man Nobody loves you like your mother can, when your mother's dead When your mother's dead When your mother's dead, Lord Nobody loves you like your mother can, when your mother's dead When your mother's dead When your mother's dead Nobody wants you Nobody needs you Nobody loves you like your mother can, when your mother's dead ============= 6651 ================ Mother's Footsteps Guide Me On As a boy I learned of Jesus With my mother here at home Gathered there around the fireside Mother taught us right from wrong Happy days I still remember With a mother long gone on Now rejoicing with the angels (up in heaven) Mother's footsteps guide me on Mother's love will always guide us As I journey on and on There will be a great reunion Mother's footsteps guide me on ============= 6652 ================ Mother's Only Sleeping Mothers not dead, she's only a sleeping Just patiently waiting for Jesus to come The birds will be singing while Mother is sleeping They will sing o'er as the grave sinks away Well I left my old home way back in the mountains For mother and father had both passed away We followed our mother up to the graveyard For mother was called to heaven that day Oh how we miss her around the old home place Everything seems so lonesome since she went away Mother is sleeping way back the mountains Yes mother is sleeping way back in the hills ============= 6653 ================ Mother's Prayer The postman came and brought a letter It was from her boy who went away She gave him up to join the colors Each time he writes I hear her pray Dear God watch o'er my boy in service Help him win his victory And when this cruel war is over Bring him safely back to me Then came the day they walked together To the train that took him away She knew her boy would be a hero Her smilin eyes just seemed to say Now soldier boy don't e'er forger her She prays to God for you each day That harm may never overtake you While you are fighting far away ============= 6654 ================ Motorcycle Cowboy Recorded by Merle Haggard C I married me a hippy ran away with a stringy haired blonde F C Lord I married me a hippy ran away with a stringy haired blonde G7 C Now were both old and happy fishing on our own golden pond Hey I love my biker baby she loves her guitar picking pal F C Lord I love my Harley mama she loves her guitar picking pal G7 C I'm her motorcycle cowboy she's my long tall gal When the party's over it's really over for good F C I said when that party is over it's really over for good G7 C Honey everything changes wouldn't change back if I could Yeah ain't got no driveway park my hog out on the lawn F C Ain't got no driveway park my big old hog out on the lawn G7 C Now I ain't got much money got me a long tall blonde I'm her motorcycle cowboy she's my stringy haired blonde F C I married me a hippy ran away with a stringy haired blonde G7 C Now were both gold and happy fishing on our own golden pond ============= 6655 ================ The Stanley Brothers - Mountain Dew (Radio Edit) Down the road here from me there's an old holler tree where ya lay down a dollar or two.

And daddy there beside her, On my mothers next of kin And their legacy passed down to me, The sons of mountain men.

I've walked among these people Heard the stories that they tell I've crawled beside them in the mines And touched the walls of hell. I've shared their sacred secrets Known their triumph and their pain And right or wrong i'll stand with them On the final judgement day. They say God gives his comfort When the time of trouble comes They say we'll own no share of peace Til we lay down our guns. But will my boy have the chance to do The things i've never done Or will he like me be told to be Must be his father's son.

Jump in the shower, and the blood starts pumping; out on the street, the traffic starts jumping, with folks like me on the job from nine to five. Chorus: 1,3,5. Nine to five, what a way to make a living; barely getting by,it's all taking and no giving. They just use your mind, and (depending on verse) "they never give you" or "you never get the" credit; it's enough to drive you crazy, if you let it. Verse 2 They let you dream just to watch them shatter; You're just a step on the boss man's ladder, But you've got dreams he'll never take away. In the same boat with a lot of your friends; Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in, And the tide's gonna turn, and it's all gonna roll your way. Chorus: 2 Nine to five, for service and devotion; you would think that I would deserve a fair promotion; want to move ahead, but the boss won't seem to let me. I swear some-times, that man is out to get me. Chorus: 4,6. Nine to five, they've got you where they want you; There's a better life, and you dream about it, don't you? It's a rich man's game, no matter what they call it; And you spend your life putting money in his pocket. ============= 6940 ================ Ninety and Nine There were ninety and nine that safely lay In the shelter of the fold But one was out on the hills away Far off from the gates of gold Away on the mountains wild and bare Away from the tender Shepherd's care Away from the tender Shepherd's care Lord, Thou hast here Thy ninety and nine Are they not enough for Thee But the Shepherd made answer tis this of Mine Has wandered away from Me Although the road be rough and steep I go to the desert to find My sheep I go to the desert to find My sheep But all through the mountains thunder-riven Up from the rocky steep There arose a glad cry to the gate of heaven Rejoice I have found My sheep And the angels echoed around the throne Rejoice for the Lord brings back His own Rejoice for the Lord brings back His own ============= 6941 ================ Ninety Nine Years (And One Dark Day) I've been in this prison twenty years or more I shot my woman with a 44 I'll be right here till my dyin' day I got 99 years and one dark day Well the food is bad and the beds are hard I spend all day breakin' rocks in the yard Well there ain't no change, gonna stay that way I got 99 years and one dark day Ain't no singer that can sing a song Ain't no one saying that I ain't wrong His mind's made up, gonna stay that way I got 99 years and one dark day I never learned to read, I never learned to write My whole life's been one big fight I never heard about the righteous way I got 99 years and one dark day I remember a time many years ago I shot my woman with a 44 I'll be right here till my dyin' day I got 99 years and one dark day I got 99 years and one dark day ============= 6942 ================ Ninety Nine Years is Almost For Life The court room the judge waited there My mother was crying when I left my chair The sentence were sharp for it cut like a knife For ninety nine years folks is almost for life I dreamed of the whistle I heard the bells ring My sweetheart was coming some good news to bring I knew that she loved me and that she'd be true She said she would save me I'm guilty as you She went for a pardon or else for parole I know she'll come back for she's part of my soul If she ever fails me I'll be mighty blue I'll stay in this jailhouse I'll die in here too They said I was a criminal and to my despair They sent me to Nashville and shaved off my hair So come hear my story I'll tell you my fate I'm serving in Nashville for another man's hate I just got a letter from Nashville town And after I read it my spirit broke down It's sad that my sweetheart and the judge would be wed And here in this jailhouse I wish I was dead No matter how right folks a man he may be Bad company will send him to prison like me So take a good woman and make her your wife For ninety nine years folks is almost for life ============= 6943 ================ No Ash Will Burn I have seen snow that fell in May And I have seen rain on cloudless days Somethings are always bound to change There ain't no ash will burn Love is a precious thing I'm told It burns just like West Virginia coal But when the fire dies down it's cold There ain't no ash will burn You say this life is not your lot Well I can't be something that I'm not We can't stoke a fire that we ain't got There ain't no ash will burn In every life there comes a time Where there are no more tears to cry We must leave something dear behind There ain't no ash will burn There is one lesson I have learned There ain't no ash will burn ============= 6944 ================ No Burdens Pass Through The storm clouds rise no light in the sky And my loved ones have gone and left me There's glory divine it's riches are mine He tells me no burdens pass through Oh (what a day) what a day (oh what a day) When the clouds pass away (when the clouds, clouds pass away) And Jesus supreme on his throne My tears wiped away (all my tears, tears wiped away) And the night turns to day (and the night, the nights changed to day) No burdens are allowed to pass through There'll be no sorrow in our new home No funeral train in the sky No rent to pay no taxes come due No burden's are allowed to pass through He never fails me when I'm in need My soul is so weighted with care He leads me through He helps me to stand He whispers no burdens pass through ============= 6945 ================ Punch Brothers -

Old Bill went a-courtin' And his girl got mad and said Bill Jones, I would not marry you If all the rest were dead! He slipped some whiskey in her coffee cup And she was Mrs. Jones when she woke up. Liner note says- I knew this old Bill Jones since I was a boy and if anything this song I wrote about him is an understatement. He was the kind of man who would do anything for his friends-and anything to his enemies-and was only afraid of two things the rattlesnake and the wild hog. Soon after I met him he traded his saddle mule for a Model T and became a "son-of-a-gun on wheels." His wild days over he married settled down and raised a family. He studied at night school and became a lawyer then a wise respected judge. He was to give many a suspended sentence to young cutups-fellows like he used to be. ============= 7114 ================ Old Bill Miner Way down in old Kentucky boys on one winter's morn In eighteen forty-seven Old Bill Miner was born But nothing ever suited Bill at least that's what they say And at the age of thirteen years one night he ran away From ranch to California ranch he did his life enjoy When asked his occupation there he would reply cowboy With a rocky mountain highway man Bill LeRoy some say They robbed until LeRoy was hung and old Bill got away In Turkey and in London 'twas there he could be free A desert raider a slave trader he soon became you see Running guns in Rio and South Americae Then robbing trains in the diamond fields of old North Africae Hands up boys hold them steady the usual command From old Bill Miner the gentleman bandit a six gun in his hand Robbing trains all his life he would often say Ain't no jail that can hold me I'll surely get away Oh I'll surely get away Back home in California he robbed the Sonora state San Quentin prison and twenty years brought him the middle age And they let him out for being good in nineteen hundred one The twentieth century was young he bought himself a gun Upon that mainline CPR he stopped the fast mail train Got a life in New Westminster Bin in the ol' Victoria rain But Bill was good to his word and knew what he was about Thirty-five feet of tunnel in nineteen seven he dug out Head wide so? for Georgia in a manner grand and slow He robbed the southern rail express his hair was white as snow Caught by W.A.

Though he needed his dimes and there were times that he'd receive a fee He'd pass it onto some poor soul that needed it more than he He had to sell his furniture cause he couldn't pay his office rent So to a dusty room over a livery stable Doc Brown and his satchel went. And on the hitchin' post at the kerb below to advertise his wares He nailed a little sign that read Doc Brown has moved upstairs Then one day he didn't answer when they knocked upon his door Old Doc Brown was layin' down but his soul was no more. They found him there in that old black suit on his face was a smile of content But all the money they could find on him was just a quarter and a copper cent So they opened up his ledger and what they saw gave their hearts a pull For beside each debtor's name old Doc had write these words Paid In Full. Old Doc should had a funeral fine enough for king It was a ghastly joke our town was broke and no one could give a thing Ah cept to ole Curly Jones an undertaker he did mighty well Donated an old iron casket he had never been able to sell. And that funeral procession well it wadn't much for grace and pomp and the style But those wagon loads of mourners they stretched out for more than a mile We wanted to give him a monument we kinda figured we owed him one Cause he made our town a better place for all the good he'd done. So we pulled up that old hitchin' post where Doc had nailed a sign We painted it white and to all of us it certainly did look fine Now the rains and the snows have washed away our white trimmin's of paint There ain't nothin' left but Doc's own sign and that's gettin' kinda faint. But you can still see that old hitchin' post as if in answer to our prayers Mutually tellin' the whole wide world Doc Brown has moved upstairs... ============= 7132 ================ Bill Monroe - Old Ebenezer Scrooge [Instrumental] ============= 7133 ================ I've got that old fashioned love in my heart There it shall always remain Like an ivy clinging vine, clinging closer all the time Through the years, through these tears, just the same I've got that old fashioned faith in my heart And nothing can tear us apart Although the land may change to sea But there'll be no change in me I've got that old fashioned love in my heart I've got that old fashioned love in my heart There, it shall always remain Like an ivy clinging vine, clinging closer all the time Through the years, through these tears, just the same I've got that old fashioned faith in my heart And nothing can tear us apart Although the land may change to sea But there'll be no change in me I've got that old fashioned love in my heart Although the land may change to sea But there'll be no change in me I've got that old fashioned love in my heart ============= 7134 ================ Emmylou Harris - Old Five and Dimers Like Me I spent a lifetime making up my mind to be More than the measure of what I thought others could see Good luck and fast bucks are too far and too few between Cadillac buyers and old five and dimers like me Yes she stood beside me letting me know she would be Something to lean on when everything ran out on me Fenced yards ain't hole cards and like is not never will be Reason for rhymers and old five and dimers like me It's taken me so long but now that I know I believe All that I do or say all that I ever will be Too far and too high and too deep ain't too much to be Too much ain't enough for old five and dimers like me Too far and too high and too deep ain't too much to be Too much ain't enough for old five and dimers like me And an old five and dimer is all I intended to be ============= 7135 ================ Dolly Parton - Old Flames Can't Hold A Candle To You lyrics Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, someone who I use to take comfort from long before I met you I caught a spark from his eyes of forgotten desire With a word, or a touch, I could have rekindled that fire Old flames can't hold a candle to you No one can light up the night like you do Flickering embers of love I've known one or two But old flames can't hold a candle to you Sometimes at night, I think of old lovers I've known I remember how holding them helped me not feel so alone Then I feel you beside me and even their memories are gone Like stars in the night lost in the sweet light of dawn Old flames can't hold a candle to you No one can light up the night like you do Flickering embers of love I've known one or two But old flames can't hold a candle to you Old flames can't hold a candle to you Mmmm... ============= 7136 ================ Nanci Griffith - Old Hanoi Where are all the Satchel Boys Selling books outside the Metripole?

I saw the danger, yet I walked along the enchanted way, And I said, "Let grief be a fallen leaf at the dawning of the day." On Grafton Street in November we tripped lightly along the ledge Of the deep ravine where can be seen the worth of passion's pledge. The Queen of Hearts still making tarts and I not making hay - Oh, I loved too much and by such and such is happiness thrown away. I gave her gifts of the mind, I gave her the secret sign That's known to the artist who has seen the true gods of sound and stone. (*) With word and tint, I did not stint, for I gave her poems to say With her own name there and her own dark hair like clouds over fields of May. On a quiet street where the old ghosts meet I see her walking now Away from me so hurriedly my reason must allow That I had wooed not as I should a creature made of clay. When the angel woos the clay he'll lose his wings at the dawn of day. And I said, "Let grief be a falling leaf at the dawning of the day." Notes: The lyrics are by Patrick Kavanagh. The music is the traditional air "The Dawning of the Day". (*) Alternate lyric: That's known to the artists who have known the true gods of sound and stone. ============= 7187 ================ On Solid Ground Recorded by Rhonda Vincent Written by Terry Herd and Rhonda Vincent C G7 C Darlin' we've been through some hard times and regrets I've had a few G7 C I gave my best to make you happy it wasn't good enough for you F C So today it's all over I'll be seeing you around G7 C I'm standing up and stepping over moving on to solid ground F C Cause life's about choices and I've made a few G7 C To start living for myself now and honey not for you F C But you better get it straight now I ain't leaving this town G7 C Baby from now on I'll be standing on solid ground G7 C You taught me life is what you make it that's a simple line but true G7 C But when it comes to how you're living the choice is really up to you F C Keep your eye upon tomorrow live your dreams and make 'em last G7 C Take the time to smell the roses and learn a lesson from the past Repeat #2 G7 C So darling thank you for the good times tears will never need to fall G7 C It's not the end it's the beginning of a new day after all F C I'll just try to keep my head high even when they get me down G7 C I'll take a stand and keep on standing high upon the solid ground Repeat #2 G7 C You can count on it baby I'll be standing on solid ground ============= 7188 ================ Bill Monroe - On Some Foggy Mountain Top 1.

By the wild running river The most perfect Ive ever seen. I live my life one the banks of the water Singing my song to you. And all through my days, Ill remember you always I never knew love so true It's a tangled old past through the thick byers and brambles Down to where the wild roses bloom. And open their hearts in the heat of the summer And freeze beneath the silver moon. I live my life on the banks of the water Singing my song to you And all through my days Ill remember you remember you always I never knew love like you. Its a tumbling run down the bear creek canon Through the rocks and the mountain sage Its a trembling stream in the frozen winter Running strong when the spring waters break.

Killed the only woman I loved Because she would not be my bride" * Refrain ============= 7192 ================ Alison Krauss - On the Borderline Lyrics (John Pennell) There's a chill on this evening nights right for greaving Darkness surrounds him as he wanders alone He walked past the dim lights the pathways and street lights They remind him of nights long ago. When his love was strong And his muscles hard His whiskey throat Was barley marred. Seeking the misfortune in the lies that he told Then a broken heart bought him to his knees In the hour of his greatest need Lost and forsaken by the love he could not hold. On the borderline of love again It's bound to make you pay On the borderline we'll make our stand Then watch it fall away. And he stands in quiet solitude the nights reflects upon his mood Seeking the vision that had once been so clear When he felt the touch of his women's love His pounding heart was warm and young. Now locked inside him with his anger and fear As he moves on slowly past the trees Down the path way Home through fallen leaves. He can't believe how he'd sunken so low So he learned to live with his injured pride His purple heart hidden deep inside The only reward for a love he could not hold. On the borderline of love again It's bound to make you pay On the borderline we'll make our stand Then watch it fall away. On the borderline of love again It's bound to make you pay On the borderline we'll make our stand Then watch it fall away... ============= 7193 ================ Keller Williams - On the Freshies The word traverse is what I like to avoid, My hobbies include popping ollies off an asteroid. Felling the flow of the snow as we go, The sun makes you blush in the slush, you should know. Fifty on the nose, Trim nails on the toes, Full charge on the pod, when it dies it blows, like the wind, Again and again, It's stingin my nerve ends, the chills they send, and the bend in my knee, it makes me see, this could be free, if you hike up the trees, Use them as a hand-hold brave and bold, in the cold, so I'm told. Floatin' on the freshies (scatting) Use 'em as a hand-hold brave and bold, You know it's not my thing, too much work that it brings, stick me on a lift, stick a lighter in my fist, I'm fightin for the flame it becomes a game, pull jacket over brain, works magic like David Blaine. Levitatin, elevatin , glass box vegetatin, Simulate, stimulate, Distract yourself from the constant straight, Goofy-footed, poofy hooded, Left side as I'm shootin through the trees, Just like the breeze, As I'm floatin on the freshies.

A little light shone bright off a stone up ahead, I broke out a window for one loaf of bread. ============= 7238 ================ One Lone Georgia Pine There was one lone Georgia pine, to the Kentucky sky it rose Where redbud and dogwood paint the hills, where mountain laurel grows. You can search the world around, but I know you'll never find. A more fitting tribute to a man, than that one lone Georgia pine. He was only seventeen years old, as he stood by the kitchen door. He kissed his mama one last time, and headed off to war. She knew that it was coming, but she said not a word. "Just tell my Daddy when I'm gone" was the last thing that she heard. Heaven help my baby boy, He's my youngest one, my pride and joy. Lord, let him walk these hills again. Then she got a bucket from the well, Put a chair in the shade, to sit a spell, And watched him disappear with the summer wind. Well, he fell in with Rosencranz and some Illinois boys, He learned to fight on the battlefield, midst the guns and blood and noise. He got nicked at Chattanooga, but he got fixed in time. To join up with his company when they crossed the Georgia line. There on a September day Thirty-five thousand laid away. Chicamauga Creek was a flowing hell Then he got hit from his blind side And he laid himself down and died. And they buried him right there just where he fell. Well, the summers they came and went and the battles fade away. And the horrors of that angry war seemed but a dying day. Two young men in a wagon rode to the bridge where their brother died To bring him back to Kentucky soil and to rest on the mountain side. Oh, but when they brought him down There was a tiny seed to his coffin bound Put there by God's hand, so they say. And from his grave grew a mighty tree And all for miles around can see It standin' proud and tall to this very day. There's that one lone Georgia pine, to the Kentucky sky it rose Where redbud and dogwood paint the hills, where mountain laurel grows. You can search the world around, but I know you'll never find. A more fitting tribute to a man, than that one lone Georgia pine. ============= 7239 ================ Vince Gill - One Love at a Time Tell me one more time about Jesus All about forgiveness and grace Tell me one more time about Jesus All about my Savior's face Here comes my old friend, the preacher He's knockin' on my front door He's out tryin' to save all the sinners He's been here so many times before I love the easy conversation Man, that preacher sure can talk It brings up my need for salvation Even though he knows I'm stubborn to a fault Tell me one more time about Jesus All about forgiveness and grace Tell me one more time about Jesus Lord, I need just a little more faith I walked by the church Sunday mornin' I slipped on in the back door It's sure been a long time coming And tell my preacher what I need to know His words were like a cool drink of water He said, "Sinners come on down the aisle" So I went runnin' for the alter You should have seen my old friend, the preacher smile Tell me one more time about Jesus All about forgiveness and grace Tell me one more time about Jesus I long to see my Savior's face Oh, I long to see my Savior's face ============= 7240 ================ Gillian Welch -

Well, the doctors say the cancer's back. Man its been one of those days, When I been thinking poor me. I got no right to complain I guess, Cause right now all I can see. Is a little angel in a Yankees cap, It makes me realize. It's just been one those days for me, But for him it's been one of those lives. Everybody under my roof, Is healthy- knock on wood. Oh but I sure do sweat the small stuff, I don't thank God as much as I should. Tonight I'm thinking about Tommy and Jenny, And how they spent the last four years. All those extended stays in Memphis, All the sleepless nights, the prayers, the tears. It's just been one of those days, Where I was thinking poor me. I got no right to complain I guess, Cause right now all I can see. Is that family moving back to Target House, It makes me realize. It's just been one those days for me, But for them its been one of those lives. And so it's been one of those days, I let things get to me. I got no right to complain, Cause when I look around I see. Folks that are fightin' for every breath, And it makes me realize. It's just been one for those days for me, But for them it's been one of those lives. ============= 7254 ================ One Of Those Songs Will Holt / Gerard Calvi Chorus: Well this is one of those songs that you hear now and then, You don't know just where, you don't know just when, It's one of those songs that are over and then, It's one of those songs that start playing again. Yes, it's just one of those songs that you hear for a while, That come into fashion and go out of style, It's one of those songs that you think you forgot, But it's one of those songs you cannot! Because it's one of those songs that can make you recall A ride in the sprinttime, a walk in the fall, A day in the country, a night on the town, The sun coming up or the rain coming down. Or else the evening you parted, the morning you met, The love of your life you can never forget, The reason is simple, the memory belongs, To one of those wonderful songs! Well, this is one of those songs that's so easy to hear, You listen just once, then you play it by ear, It's hummed on verandas, and strummed on guitars, And all you remember is Lah-dee-dah-dah! But later on you'll recall it in some other year, You may start to smile or you may shed a tear, You'll find that one part of your lifetime belongs To one of those wonderful songs! ============= 7255 ================ Emmylou Harris - One Paper Kid Cowboys and Indians and trees he could climb Tomorrow came too fast but he didn't mind The distance was short so light it again It don't take no time to get where I am But one paper kid wasn't really so mean Just a little bit scarred and a little bit green And he'd heard of a place it was legal to dream So he sat with his coffee in a blue Texas wind And he wrote on a rock The one paper kid is rollin' again Driver was drunk or he just didn't see The future is there it'll happen to me And all the time that he wasted was his once again Ah, it never takes long to get where you've been Broken hearts scattered all over the past Old bad memories trying to last Whiskey and women and growing up fast Fussing and loving and itching like grass Hell that one paper kid wasn't really so mean Just a little bit weird cause times were so lean Now he's gone to a place where it's legal to dream No camels no coffee no cold morning winds It was wrote on a rock The one paper kid is rollin' again ============= 7256 ================ One Piece At A Time by Steve Ivey Where do you go when your dreams are broken, shattered and scattered, laying on the ground?

Just put your trust in Him, and He'll build your life again, one piece at a time. Life can turn in a moment, your whole world crashing, crumbled and defeated, you wanna run and hide.

Just put your trust in Him, and He'll build your life again, one piece at a time. one piece at a time. ============= 7257 ================ One Red Rose John Prine Rain came down on a tin roof. Hardly a sound was left from the birthday party. The kitchen light fell asleep on the bedroom floor. Me and her were talking softer, And all the time before I lost her A picture set on a chest of drawers. Chorus: One red rose in the Bible, Pressed between the holy alphabet. Probably wouldn't believe you if you told me, Cause what I never knew I never can forget. Rainy nights get dark real early. Her dress was soft; her hair was curly. We danced around the table to the old banjo. Rainy nights are made for lovers. We lay so still beneath the covers, And I swear I ain't never felt like that before. Chorus Nights of laughter. Days of sorrow. Looking backward from tomorrow, Everything is easier to see. Though she always let it show, It seems I was the last to know The reddest rose of all was her and me. Chorus Original lyrics by John Prine, additional third verse lyrics by Walt Hultgren. ============= 7258 ================ One Row At A Time Recorded by Merle Haggard Written by Red Lane and Dottie West C F C The southeast Georgia red clay dust is ground into my blue jeans G7 A heavy hundred pound cotton sack a dragging along behind C F C Wanting to leave this place so bad I forget how I got here F C G7 C Working my way back home one row at a time F It's a long old cotton road between here and Waco G7 Then three days of bumming to that California line C F C And two more days of picking to that house just south of Fresno F C G7 C Working my way back home one row at a time F C Mississippi delta mud is caked in layers on my brogans G7 Sunshine on the snow white cotton nearly makes me blind C F C I can almost see 'em now a home-folk running out to meet me F C G7 C Working my way back home one row at a time F C G7 C Working my way back home one row at a time ============= 7259 ================ One Short Year Well it's all over town how you been runnin' round You stay out every night till two or three If you leave me here to cry good lord I don't know why You ever made those sacred vows with me Can't you understand my dear I thought I made it clear I never thought it would end in one short year Well I try to understand why you love another man I try to understand but I don't We had a life all planned you took another stand Now I beg you to come back but you won't Just a year ago today you vowed you would stay You're empty words still torture my mind Our love was meant to last you put it in the past Do you think about the love you left behind ============= 7260 ================ Desert Rose Band - One Step Forward You held me up, held me down Made me crazy, then you brought me around Were my darkness and my light You were my blindness and my sight Were my shelter and my storm Made me cold then you made me warm You were my fever and my cure Made me doubt then you made me sure One step forward and two steps back Nobody gets too far like that One step forward and two steps back This kind of dance can never last You were my hope and my fears You were my laughter and my tears Were my destiny and my fate Kept me movin', you made me wait Were my weakness and my power You were the thorn and the flower You were my sunshine and the rain Made me feel so good, brought so much pain Now one step forward and two steps back Nobody gets too far like that One step forward and two steps back This kind of dance can never last And we were never really meant for each other We were never really meant to last In the years that we danced together Each step forward we took two steps back Each step forward we took two steps back Now one step forward and two steps back Nobody gets too far like that One step forward and two steps back This kind of dance can never last One step forward and two steps back Nobody gets too far like that One step forward and two steps back This kind of dance can never last ============= 7261 ================ The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - One Step Over the Line When I look into your eyes See the world cut down to size Baby don't apologize Takin' me one step over the line When I touch your secret skin Babe I know it ain't no sin I feel you startin' to give in Now let's go one step over the line I know it's just your daddy's car Your daddy never went this far Baby we know who we are Let's go one step over the line I can be your drivin' wheel We could make those tires squeal Ooo I like the way it feels Takin' it one step over the line One step forward and two steps back It's for the first time baby I'm talkin' cake walkin' into the black A crossin' red line and I don't mean maybe I hear they buried lover's lane In a sea of tears and blame It's you and me go up in flames Baby, one step over the line They're drawin' boxes on the ground Just to make us look on down All we gotta do is look around And take it one step over the line A one step over the line Come on baby, one step over the line ============= 7262 ================ The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - One Sure Honest Line I made a living writing lover's dream words, I found the notes to hang them on I fround a way to play with the meaning of things And I came up with a couple good songs.

Someone to love is all that really matters to a heart, An ordinary heart. An ordinary heart comes with a door that never closes. Though it's gathering more than its share of thorns among the roses, It will tell you that's just the price that life imposes on a heart, An ordinary heart. An ordinary heart could make an art of anything, Pretend or break, mend or ache, forgive and live to sing. An ordinary heart is just a diamond in the rough. A diamond after all is made of ordinary stuff. Memories of lines in rhymes and old love letters, Moments that shine in time and beats and measures, No shrine of gold could hold the finer treasures of a heart An ordinary heart. An ordinary heart could make an art of anything, Pretend or break, mend or ache, forgive and live to sing. An ordinary heart is just a diamond in the rough. A diamond after all is made of ordinary stuff. ============= 7303 ================ Gillian Welch - Orphan Girl I am an orphan on God's highway But I'll share my troubles if you go my way I have no mother no father No sister no brother I am an orphan girl I have had friendships pure and golden But the ties of kinship I have not known them I know no mother no father No sister no brother I am an orphan girl But when He calls me I will be able To meet my family at God's table I'll meet my mother my father My sister my brother No more orphan girl Blessed Savior make me willing And walk beside me until I'm with them Be my mother my father My sister my brother I am an orphan girl ============= 7304 ================ Osage Route BMI Work #: 8970954 Osage Route (Larry W.

He walked in a pawn shop a rainy day, And with the clerk he had a quarrel, they say. Pulled out his pistol and he struck him a blow, And this is the way the story goes. They spread the news as fast as they could, The sheriff served a warrant on Otto Wood. The jury said murder in the second degree, And the judge passed the sentence to the penitentiary. [Chorus] Otto, why didn't you run? Otto's done dead and gone. Otto Wood, why didn't you run When the sheriff pulled out his 44 gun? They put him in the pen, but it done no good, It wouldn't hold the man they call Otto Wood. It wasn't very long till he slipped outside, Drawed a gun on the guard, said, "Take me for a ride." Second time they caught him was away out west, In the holdup game, he got shot through the breast. They brought him back and when he got well, They locked him down in a dungeon cell. He was a man they could not run, He always carried a 44 gun. He loved the women and he hated the law, And he just wouldn't take nobody's jaw. He rambled out west and he rambled all around, He met the sheriff in a southern town. And the sheriff says, "Otto, step this way, 'Cause I've been expecting you every day." He pulled out his gun and then he said, "If you make a crooked move, you both fall dead. Crank up your car and take me out of town," And a few minutes later, he was graveyard bound. ============= 7307 ================ Our Baby Died Last Night Traditional Our baby died last night It lived but 40 hours And cost a hundred dollars It was a lousy baby, anyway It died just for to spite us Of spinal meningitis It was a lousy baby, anyway So we ate it ============= 7308 ================ Desert Rose Band -

Chorus: Take off yer dungaree jacket, And give yerself a rest, And we'll think on them cold nor'westers That we had at Paddy West's. 2. When we had finished our dinner, Boys, the wind began to blow. Paddy sent me to the attic, The main-royal for to stow, But when I got to the attic, No main-royal could I find, So I turned myself 'round to the window, And I furled the window blind. Chorus: 3. Now Paddy he pipes all hands on deck, Their stations for to man. His wife she stood in the doorway, A bucket in her hand; And Paddy he cries, "Now let 'er rip!" And she throws the water our way, Cryin' "Clew in the fore t'gan'sl, boys, She's takin on the spray!" Chorus: 4. Now seein' she's bound for the south'ard, To Frisco she was bound; Paddy he takes a length of rope, And he lays it on the ground, We all steps over, and back again, And he says to me "That's fine, And if ever they ask were you ever at sea You can say you crossed the line." Chorus: 5. To every two men that graduates, I'll give one outfit free, For two good men on watch at once, Ye never need to see, Oilskins, me boys, ye'll never want, Carpet slippers made of felt, I'll dish out to the pair o' you, And a rope yarn for a belt. Chorus: 6. Paddy says "Now pay attention, These lessons you will learn. The starboard is where the ship she points, The right is called the stern, So look ye aft, to yer starboard port And you will find northwest." And that's the way they teach you At the school of Paddy West. Chorus: 7. There's just one thing for you to do Before you sail away, Just step around the table, Where the bullock's horn do lay And if ever they ask "Were you ever at sea?" you can say "Ten times 'round the Horn" And Be Jesus but you're and old sailor man From the day that you were born. Chorus: Put on yer dungaree jacket, And walk out lookin' yer best, And tell 'em that you're an old sailor man That's come from Paddy West's. ============= 7356 ================ Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore Traditional From Derry quay we sailed away on the 23rd of May We were taken on board by a pleasant crew, bound for Amerikay Fresh water then we did take on, five thousand gallons or more, In case we'd run short going to New York Far away from the shamrock shore. So fare thee well sweet Liza dear, and likewise unto Derry town. And twice farewell to my comrade boys, Who dwell on that sainted ground. If fame or fortune should favor me, and I to have money in store I'll come back and I'll wed the wee lassie I left On Paddy's green shamrock shore. At twelve o'clock we came in sight of famous Malin head. And Inishtrahull far to the right stood out on the ocean's bend. A grander sight ne'er met my eyes than e'er I saw before, As the sun going down twixt sea and sky Far away from the shamrock shore. We sailed three days, we were all seasick, not a man on board was free. We were all confined unto our bunks, and no one to pity poor me.

Party lyrics As we were dressing to go out our little girl and boy Came in and asked if they could go this time We told them little girls and boys don't belong at parties And that they should be in bed asleep by nine The babysitter came in then and we kissed the kids goodbye And told them that we'd be home soon and told them not to cry Then we left for the party like we'd so often done Thinkin' only of ourselves and not our little ones The party started out wild and it grew wilder as the night wore on With drinking laughing teling dirty jokes nobody thinkin' of home Then the stranger feeling came over me and it chilled me to the bones And I told my wife that we'd better leave the party Cause I felt that we were needed at home As we rode along I got to thinking of how the kids that mornin' Had asked if we would take them to church the next day And how I'd put 'em off like I'd so often done By sayin' we'd probably get home too late Then my thoughts were interrupted by the sound of sirens As they cut through the still night air Then we turned down our street that's when we saw the fire The rest was like a nightmare We took their little bodies to church the next day Though we'd left the party early we still got home too late ============= 7391 ================ Linda Ronstadt - Party Girl They say I'm nothing but a party girl Just like a million more all over the world I know I shouldn't be raising my hopes so high But I have seen the hungry look in their eyes They'd settle for anything in disguise of love Seen the party girls look you over Seen them leaving when the party's over They can't touch me now You say you don't mind We're so hard to find I could give you anything but time Give it just one more try Give it a chance Starts like fascination Ends up like a trance You'll never be the guilty party will you Maybe someday we can go hiding from this world Maybe I'll never get over this change in style But I don't want to lock you up and say you're mine Don't want to lose you or say good-bye I'm the guilty party and I want my slice But I know you've got me in a grip-like vise They can't touch me now You say you don't mind We're so hard to find I could give you anything I would give you anything I can give you anything but time Time Time Time ============= 7392 ================ Pass Me Not Pass me not oh gentle savior Hear my humble cry While on others Thou art calling Do not pass me by Savior Savior Hear my humble cry While on others Thou art calling Do not pass me by Let me at the throne of mercy Find a sweet relief Kneeling there in deep contrition Help my unbelief ============= 7393 ================ Gillian Welch -

Now this ass couldn't be tackled without a long handled fork, And at pulling The car, he'd do six asses' work, He was fed on the best of skins at each meal, Sure he'd gobble 'em up, and he'd wag his auld tail. He was musical too, I will have you to know. You could hear his sweet voice up in Ballymakeogh Sure he'd run down the scale from high g to a zed, And he'd bawl ten times more if a tinker was dead. Oh, no fence in the parish his thieving could stop Not a fifty foot wall paved with glass on the top, But he'd climb and get o'er with the greatest of ease, He'd devour all the cabbages, beans, and the peas. And when full to the muzzle, he'd then try a flower, All the pansies and daisies, he'd go and devour, He had a particular relish for gerani-i-yums, But he always wound up with rodan-derum-dums. He'd go down to the chapel and climb o'er the gate. Not a shrub in the yard, but he'd go and he'd eat, And when Dan would come out for to hit him a poke, He'd land his heels in his chest and he'd think it a joke Now to get rid of this ass, we must form a plan. Let us all be united, each boy to a man, And the next time a tinker comes round be the way, sure we'll sell him and have him sent over the sea. If he dies on the passsage, and don't reach the Cape, Sure there's no need to tell you, we're not going to wear crepe But if all goes well, and he lands on the shore, He can stop there forever with Paul Kruger the Boer. ============= 7407 ================ Patches Barry Mann / Larry Kolber Down by the river that floats by the coal yards Stand wooden houses with shutters torn down There lives a girl ev'rybody calls Patches Patches, my darling of old Shanty Town.

Tis of a trick was played on me and it won't detain you long. I came home from sea the other day, and a girl I chanced to meet, She asked me up along with her to dance in Patrick street Says I me pretty fair maid I cannot dance too well, Besides, I'm bound for Newry town, my parents they do dwell. I've been at sea these last few years, I've saved up fifty pounds, And my parents are expecting me tonight in Newry town. Well since you cannot dance too well then you can have a treat, You can have a glass of brandy, and something nice to eat. At nine o'clock this evening I'll leave you to your train, And don't forget to call on me when you come back again. She seemed to be so friendly I went an hired a car, We both went down to Patrick Street, and on arrival there, The people on the other side, I thought I heard them say, He'll sure be in need of a jaunting car before he gets away. Well we had not been long in the room when whiskey it came in, And when everyone had had their fill the dancing did begin. Me and me love we danced around, all to a merry tune, While the other couples did the double shuffle around the room. And when dancing it was over for bed we did prepare, And after that I fell asleep, the truth I will declare. Me darling and me fifty pounds, me gold and all had fled, And there was I meself alone, stark naked lying in bed. In gazing all around me, nothing could I spy, But a woman's skirt and jumper at the foot of the bed did lie. I wrung me hands and tore me hair, crying O what will I do? O fare thee well sweet Newry town, I'm sure I'll never see you. When nighttime it was come again and daylight was away, I put on the skirt and jumper and I set off for the quay, And when I went on board the ship, the sailors all did say, O Jack has grown much prettier since last she went away. Is this the new Spring fashion that you went to buy on shore? And where's the shop that sells them do you think they may have more? The Captain says now Jack I thought you were for Newry town. You might have bought a better suit than that for fifty pounds. I might have bought a better suit if I had had the chance, I met a girl in high street, and she's asked me to a dance. I danced me own destruction and I've danced it so complete, That I vow I'll never go back again and dance in Patrick Street. So come all of you young sailor lads a warning take by me, And always keep good company when you go on a spree. Be sure steer clear of Patrick Street, or else you'll rue the day, In a woman's skirt and jumper they will ship you back to sea. ============= 7413 ================ Patriot Game Dominic Behan Come all ye young rebels, and list while I sing, For the love of one's country is a terrible thing. It banishes fear with the speed of a flame, And it makes us all part of the patriot game. My name is O'Hanlon, and I've just turned sixteen. My home is in Monaghan, and where I was weaned I learned all my life cruel England's to blame, So now I am part of the patriot game. This Ireland of ours has too long been half free. Six counties lie under John Bull's tyranny. But still De Valera is greatly to blame For shirking his part in the Patriot game. They told me how Connolly was shot in his chair, His wounds from the fighting all bloody and bare. His fine body twisted, all battered and lame They soon made me part of the patriot game. It's nearly two years since I wandered away With the local battalion of the bold IRA, For I read of our heroes, and wanted the same To play out my part in the patriot game. And now as I lie here, my body all holes I think of those traitors who bargained in souls And I wish that my rifle had given the same To those Quislings who sold out the patriot game. ============= 7414 ================ Richard Thompson - Patty Don't You Put Me Down Patty don't tell me one thing and change your mind We might be in bed together but the deal's not signed They say you collect shrunken heads, would you like to have mine?

You weren't your mama's only boy, but her favorite one it seems She began to cry when you said goodbye, And sank into your dreams. Pancho was a bandit boys, his horse was fast as polished steel He wore his gun outside his pants For all the honest world to feel. Pancho met his match you know on the deserts down in Mexico Nobody heard his dying words, ah but that's the way it goes. All the Federales say they could have had him any day They only let him slip away out of kindness, I suppose. Lefty, he can't sing the blues all night long like he used to. The dust that Pancho bit down south ended up in Lefty's mouth The day they laid poor Pancho low, Lefty split for Ohio Where he got the bread to go, there ain't nobody knows All the Federales say they could have had him any day They only let him slip away out of kindness, I suppose. Poets tell how Pancho fell, and Lefty's living in a cheap hotel The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold, And so the story ends we're told Pancho needs your prayers it's true, but save a few for Lefty too He only did what he had to do, and now he's growing old All the Federales say they could have had him any day They only let him slip away out of kindness, I suppose.

Potter's Field I'm just a traveler passing through I wont haunt or bother you Though you could put an end to my story. You could call me ol' Jack.You might have seen me caped in black. As I roam the streets of the village. And in her long flowing hair. You might find my story there. Though it was not my own hand that killed her. I went down to the moonlight trail. Road out on the rail And began my long life of journey. And the ripple that rose on the water And the high rolling wave out at sea. And the Shadow that flies on the valley In the middle is where you'll find me. In a bath tube for a boat, my passage I did float On the banks of the dock of he city Cuz in the fire of the devils den, live the gray coated men That lost all my hopes and my two brothers. So I wondered in the west settled down. Did my best. But my hear was unsteady and restless. To the room on Houston street. Where the pawn poets would meet And we poured out the wine of the ages. And the ripple that rose on the water And the hard hearted moon of the sea And the shadow that falls in the ally. In the middle is where you find me. Ten little flavors Ten little stones Sleep little babies. You'll never know, where you ever go. Years ago my lid was sealed Through me down in the Potters field We're the souls of the long and forgotten. Though my name is dead and gone I remain a carryin on and I roam with an old band of brothers. If you strum that ancient stream, you may call my spirit in Or if you blow on the horn of the whistle. By an old pile of nails. I might stop and listen there Where the wren pulls her nest from the thistle. And the ripple that rose on the water And the high rolling wave out at sea And the Shadow that falls on the valley I'm the middle is where you'll find me. High above the Cullin wharf . Stands the ol' mound of stone. In the mist and the stone and the mountain If you scramble up the street Wont you stay a while for me Watch the white rolling winds wash the island. ============= 7555 ================ Nanci Griffith -

Oklahoma knew him well. 'Twas in the town of Shawnee on a Saturday afternoon, His wife beside him in a wagon as into town they rode. When up stepped a deputy sheriff in a manner rather rude, Using vulgar words of language, and his wife she overheard. Well, Pretty Boy Floyd grabbed a long chain, and the deputy grabbed a gun, And in the fight that followed, he laid that deputy down. Instrumental He ran through the trees and bushes and lived a life of shame. Every crime in Oklahoma was added to his name. He ran through trees and bushes on the Canadian River shore, And many a starving farmer opened up his door. In Oklahoma City, it was on a Christmas Day. Came a whole carload of groceries and a letter that did say: "You say that I'm an outlaw. You say that I'm a thief. Well, here's a Christmas dinner for the families on relief."

No one back in boot camp ever warned me What the Readjustment Blues would do to me. "Welcome to Havannah", said the pilot. "We must have made a wrong turn on the way. Let's buy some cigars and keep it quiet. If they don't know we're here we'll get away." Just as I had realized he was joking, I saw we were in Washington D.C. 'Cause there were all the patriotic buildings, Just like I had seen them on TV. It must have been a holiday, 'cause there was this parade. People carried signs, I couldn't read, that they had made When I got closer, my heart fell to my socks. There was a battle raging and the air was filled with teargas and rocks. There was the flag I'd fought against so often. The one I fought for hanging upside down. The wind was blowing hard, the dirt was flying, it made the city sky look dark and brown. I saw a girl, she could have been my sister, Except her hair was long and in her face. She explained this was a demonstration Against the war and for the human race. Well, I've seen a lot of strange things in my travels, Cannibals and aliens galore. But I never thought I'd see so many people Shouting, "We don't want your fuckin' war!" The troops all had on uniforms just like the one I'd worn, But they were all domestic and my duty tour was foreign. They carried guns just like the ones across the sea, Except this time, I was the citizen, and they were pointing them guns at me. Yes, I was just a citizen, and I was walking down the street, And it was just then that the readjustment blues got through to me. ============= 7711 ================ Chris Thile - Ready for Anything I forget the difference between being in love And being familiar with something I hope I'm above. Hear a lie enough and it cuts like the Gospel, when you're half-awake, no mistake is impossible. I'm a child again, lost and happy in make-believe But I'm lazy now, so someone's pretending for me. 'untouchable man who holds his hand out to millions Anyone can share his beautiful heroes and ugly villains I spend a lot of time watching my TV, I take what they give me, and I give them nothing But I waste a lot of time watching my TV, 'got me right where they want me, Ready for anything. I forget the difference between being loved 'being a loose-pocket, worn-wallet, short-sighted friend to lift money off of. Maybe I'm playing their game, so I can have a show where I stick 'em like a pig one day -- Tell 'em they can go to Hell 'cause they don't know another way Or maybe I'm here 'cause it's something to do ... You know Still waters can run shallow too and I could watch myself run dry. So I spend a lot of time watching my TV, And I take what they give me, and I give them nothing But I waste a lot of time watching my TV, 'got me right where they want me, Ready for anything.

She loved her brother I remember back when He was fixin up a '49 Indian He told her 'Little sister, gonna ride the wind Up around the moon and back again" He never got farther than Vietnam, I was standin there with her when the telegram come For Lillian. Now he's lyin somewhere about a million miles from Meridian. She said there's not much hope for a red dirt girl Somewhere out there is a great big world That's where I'm bound And the stars might fall on Alabama But one of these days I'm gonna swing My hammer down Away from this red dirt town I'm gonna make a joyful sound She grew up tall and she grew up thin Buried that old dog Gideon By a crepe myrtle bush in the back of the yard, Her daddy turned mean and her mama leaned hard Got in trouble with a boy from town Figured that she might as well settle down So she dug right in Across a red dirt line just a little south east from Meridian She tried hard to love him but it never did take It was just another way for the heart to break So she dug right in. But one thing they don't tell you about the blues When you got em You keep on falling cause there ain't no bottom There ain't know end. At least not for Lillian Nobody knows when she started her skid, She was only twenty seven and she had five kids.

The red-headed stranger had eyes like thunder Lips that were pale and tight; His little lost love lay asleep on a hillside And his heart was heavy this night. Chorus: Don't cross him, don't boss him, he's wild in his sorrow, Riding and hiding his pain; Don't fight him, don't spite him, just wait till tomorrow, And maybe he'll ride on again. A yellow-haired lady leaned out of her window, Smiled as they came her way. She drew back in fear at the sight of the stallion But cast greedy eyes on the bay; How could she know that the dancing bay pony Meant more to him than life? For this was the song that his little lost darling Had ridden when she was his wife. Chorus The yellow-haired lady came into the barroom, Looked up the stranger there; He bought her a drink, gave her some money He just didn't seem to care. She followed him out when he saddled the stallion, Laughed as she grabbed for the bay; He shot her so quick they had no time to warn her, She didn't hear nobody say: Chorus The yellow-haired lady was buried at sunset The stranger went free, of course, 'Cause you can't hang a man for killing a woman Whose trying to steal your horse. Now this is the tale of the red-headed stranger And if he should come your way, Stay out of the path of the raging black stallion And don't lay a hand on the bay.

Onward, strike the marching tune And hurrah me boys for freedom, it's the rising of the moon Well they fought for dear old Ireland, and full bitter was their fate, Oh what glorious pride and sorrow fills the name of ninety-eight.

For I've made many friends there on every green mile And the folks always greet me with a wave and a smile If I spend all my days there, it's happy I'll be, On the road to drumleman that winds tae the sea. For we all sat roon the fireside when the winter winds blew And we laughed and we sang till the night was weel through Then we'd have a good dram and a wee cup o' tea On the road to drumleman that winds tae the sea. And the long summer days when we tramped the hills o'er To spend hours at the Eenans or Creggin's wild shore And the soft summer twilight made shadows to flee On the road to Drumleman that winds tae the sea. Oh these days passing swiftly bring changes I know And as time passes on from this place we must go But I'll always remember while the heart beats in me, The road to Drumleman that winds tae the sea.

About the hemp-rope on his neck, the golden ringlets clung; There's ne'er a tear in his blue eyes, fearless and brave are they, As young Roddy McCorley goes to die on the bridge of Toome today. When he last that street, shining pike in hand, Behind him marched in grim array, a stawart and earnest band. For Antrim town! For Antrim town, he led them to the fray, But young Roddy McCorley goes to die on the bridge of Toome today. There's never a one of all your dead more bravely died in fray Than he who marches to his fate on the bridge of Toome today; True to the last! True to the last, now he treads the upwards way, As young Roddy McCorley goes to die on the bridge of Toome today. As young Roddy McCorley goes to die on the bridge of Toome today.

Well, sometimes they'd ride down by the river And the bay always stopped there to drink In the still of the evening The horse seemed contented And the man used the time just to think. And in the cold winds of winter He's drawn to the barn By some irresistable force With carrots and a blanket There's nothing more binding Than the love of a man for his horse. The call of the highway, how it would beckon He kept going back out of course And in the deep of the night When the miles were the hardest He just figured he drove for the horse. And in all life's relations one thing stays the same Never take more than you will repay So we count the score even 'cause the miles he had driven Were for miles that he rode on the bay. They grew old together, got too old to ride But just look at the seeds that they'd sowed They'd walk out in the pasture, stand side by side And stare off at the hills where they'd growed. And of all God's creations here under heaven There's many I can't understand One beautiful mystery that I at least witnessed Was the love of a horse for a man. ============= 7951 ================ Richard Thompson -

And the time that he served, Had shattered all his nerves, And left a little shrapnel in his knee. But the morphine eased the pain, And the grass grew round his brain, And gave him all the confidence he lacked, With a Purple Heart and a monkey on his back. Chorus: There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes, Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose. Little pitchers have big ears, Don't stop to count the years, Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios. Mmm.... Sam Stone's welcome home Didn't last too long. He went to work when he'd spent his last dime And Sammy took to stealing When he got that empty feeling For a hundred dollar habit without overtime. And the gold rolled through his veins Like a thousand railroad trains, And eased his mind in the hours that he chose, While the kids ran around wearin' other peoples' clothes... Chorus Sam Stone was alone When he popped his last balloon Climbing walls while sitting in a chair Well, he played his last request While the room smelled just like death With an overdose hovering in the air But life had lost its fun And there was nothing to be done But trade his house that he bought on the G.

Saw him a picture book of a whale, shooting its spout and flashing its tail. Then he got him a sailor's dream 'bout cruising around on the salty sea, Joining up with a whaling crew to go out and get him a whale or two. Tell me what kind of men are these that sail around on the salty seas, Up in the rigging in the afternoon, swabbing the deck and sharpening harpoons. Chorus: Hooray, up she rises. Hooray, up she rises. Hooray, up she rises. Early in the morning. Lots of whales in the deep blue sea. We kill them for the industry. Drag 'em alongside and cut 'em up, too. Melt 'em down and sell it to you. There hardly is a sailor alive, who can keep a tear from his eye, As he remembers the good old days when there were no whales to save. Now we can thank the companies for scouring the deep, blue sea. Looking for ivory and perfume, and oil to light your living room. Chorus. Shanghaied by the light of the moon, put out of Boston in the middle of June. After six months out at sea, nothing but death and misery. Set out on a three year cruise, a union ship and union dues, And after a while you begin to see that whaling's not what it used to be. You got a modern ship and a modern crew, sonar scopes and exploding harpoons. A mechanical boat made out of steel, a floating machine to kill the whale. Chorus. Repeat First Verse. Chorus. ============= 8043 ================ Lucinda Williams - Save Yourself (Sharon Van Etten cover) [Verse 1] I want every town I need you to know There's nothing left to sell me, I'm broke I just want these holes For when I try to run For no reason, or so I'm told [Chorus] Don't you think I know You're only trying to save yourself?

Waterfall Down by the waterfall Where the waters run so cool There no secrets ever fall From the lips of the fool Jeniffer was seventeen the same age as I She had lived next door to us since we were five She knew I loved her dearly, I told her many times And I looked forward to the day that she would be all mine One more year of school we thought, then wedding bells would ring But the hand of fate has ways of changing everything I walked upon the two of them down by the waterfall Jeniffer and Jimmy Jones they saw me not at all Jimmy Jones was married and had a family And I just couldn't understand why they did this to me Both were scared but all they thought I'd do was tell his wife Their faces turned to masks of fear before I took their life People thought that Jeniffer just up and ran away Jimmy Jones who disappeared is a mystery today Many years has passed but bitterly I still recall And only I alone know what's behind the waterfall ============= 8081 ================ Billy Strings Secrets It's something cold like what I stuck around to fight through And it gets feeling tougher every day I feel like everybody likes to run their mouth but Can't decide on what it is they're tryin' to say There's nothing wrong with hearing voices Even when they're in your dreams And if you'd listen in tomorrow could be better than it seems I used to think I couldn't even count my blessings But now I know they're few and far between And when I look at my reflection in the mirror I can see some man I've never even seen The wasted life I left behind me Was just a war I couldn't win I'm the devil's guest of honor that's the best it's ever been Little said is soonest mended Without a wing a word could fly a 1,000 miles I'd rather be abandoned or alone Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind I know a man whose pain is heavy like an anchor And it drags him to the bottom of the sea His cloudy eyes are often lost behind a daydream Or frozen in some broken memory I've never heard him speak about what happened He'll never say what laid him low There are secrets that we carry that are ours to bare alone You said a love that's kept in secret dies in darkness And a soul needs to confess to be set free So I'm lifting back the cover of my heart, dear And hoping that you'll do the same for me It's not too pretty, but it's open It's the only way I know to tell you true I'd walk the world alone before I'd ever walk away from you Little said is soonest mended Without a wing a word could fly a 1,000 miles I'd rather be abandoned or alone Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind If you can link your value to your wallet or a key chain Or a locked wrought iron fence around your yard Living check to check, a skinny tie around your neck On stolen time and borrowed numbers off a card You blink and life is left behind you There's no escape, that's just a fact We're all a dollar short and Every one of us is running out of track Little said is soonest mended Without a wing a word could fly a 1,000 miles I'd rather be abandoned or alone Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind Little said is soonest mended Without a wing a word could fly a 1,000 miles I'd rather be abandoned or alone Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind ============= 8082 ================ See God's Ark A'movin' See God's ark a-movin' see God's ark a-movin' Picks me up on my lonely days and carries me through tomorrow The rain came up hard you know And the wind began to blow And I lifted my voice up into the sky Crying mercy to my soul. God must have felt my faith He held me until it was safe And I never again drew a doubting breath As he delivered me from my death. If you can't resist temptation If you just can't put it down When the ark sets sail on the rolling sea You're gonna follow the boat and drown. ============= 8083 ================ Richard Thompson - See My Friends Lyrics (Ray Davies) See my friends, See my friends, Playin' 'cross the river, See my friends, See my friends, Playin' 'cross the river, She is gone, She is gone and now there's no one left 'Cept my friends, Playin' 'cross the river, She just went, She just went, Went across the river.

I've buried men before their time Of alcohol and blackened lung But how to bury seven of these Appalachian miners sons. Who stormed the beaches wave on wave, And sailed home to these rocky graves In family plots that bared their names. Tomorrow I'll walk up, seven hillsides Tremble before my flock on seven hillsides Seven sorrows, seven sons, seven mothers and every one Will turn to me for the word of God, what does this mean? And there I'll stand good book in hand, A shepherd to these precious lambs What will I say, what will I say, what can I say? To tell the truth I'd never thought much About the will of God before. Called to preach at seventeen I was in love with fiery words and not much more. The time has come to keep the faith For others shattered by their loss. Remind them of the loving God Whose son like theirs paid the cost. To save a sad and wicked world Through sacrifice our love is heard And pray that I believe those words. Tomorrow I'll walk up, seven hillsides Tremble before my flock on seven hillsides Seven sorrows, seven sons, seven mothers and every one Will turn to me for the word of God, what does this mean? ============= 8107 ================ Seven Mile Hill BMI Work #: 9223419 Seven Mile Hill (Larry W.

It was well into the winter, Of December in the cold. Off to see Mount Rushmore, Staring through the snow. And to gamble with the boys of Deadwood as we drove. Snowing, I am shaking out the snow. Oh, the cold that is within my heart, I'm gonna shake out all that snow. Riding years ago, Through the South Dakota roads. When the laughter could thaw Enderby, And shake me from the snow. Like a hurricane through Florida, I'll shake out all this snow. Snowing, one Christmas morn' when I was four. My brother told me it was warm, So a swimsuit I adorned. Then he sent me to the weather, And behind me locked the doors. A four year old in a swim suit, And brand new plastic skates. Out into the snow to catch this cold, I cannot shake. Snowing, I am shaking out the snow. Oh, the cold that is within my heart, I'm gonna shake out all that snow. Riding years ago, Through the South Dakota roads. When the laughter could thaw Enderby, And shake me from the snow. Like a hurricane through Florida, I'll shake out all this snow. Snowing, yeah, it snows in Tennessee. The place where I now make my life. Is still snowing down on me. I'd prefer Antarctica, Perhaps the land of Enderby. Where the weather is my heart, And I'm closer to the sea. Since I cannot ever seem to shake, The snow out of me. Snowing, I am shaking out the snow. Oh, the cold that is within my heart, I'm gonna shake out all that snow. Riding years ago, Through the South Dakota roads. When the laughter could thaw Enderby, And shake me from the snow. Like a hurricane through Florida, I'll shake out all this snow. And all across the states you see, The tractors and the ploughs. Clearing out the roads, And the bridges north and south. Something they did learn, And I just don't seem to know, How to clear a passage, And shake out all the snow. ============= 8121 ================ Richard Thompson - Shaking the Gates If angels are real then who needs dreams?

Then much to my surprise the telegraph jumped back to life As I read the code I thought could this be true A train was on it's way headed up the mountain grade But she didn't have a captain or a crew. At the other switch they tried to put her on the mountainside But she kept on coming up the mountain grade I quickly doused the light to try to see into the night Maybe I could spot her headlight in the rain. She was pounding down the road I could hear her whistle blow And I thought lord what a high and mournful sound Then the telegraph beganThere's a cave-in at the mine And a hundred men are buried beneath the ground . But Lord she's coming now I see around the bend and straight at me And her boiler's glowing red as coal in hell The headlight's switching wide searching all the mountainside But the only sound she's making is the wail Then I recognize the train by the number and the name It's the Miner's Silver Ghost Old 41 Then she vanished up the track by the lonely switchman's shack Like a mother who is looking for her son Now I recall the story of the train that went to glory Over fifty years ago on this same night She was stealing for the cave-in there were men that needed saving But she missed the curve and trestle near the mine.

She had asked for sandals from the time that she could talk And it would break our hearts when she'd asked us why she couldn't walk She'd say when I go to heaven can I change my crutches then For a pair of silver sandals at the rainbow's end In silver sandals she goes walkin'...

They walked alone by the old canal A little confused I remember well And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burning bright He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train Moving with a simple twist of fate. A saxophone someplace far off played As she was walking on by the arcade As the light bust through a-beat-up shade where he was waking up She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate And forgot about a simple twist of fate. He woke up the room was bare He didn't see her anywhere He told himself he didn't care pushed the window open wide Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate Brought on by a simple twist of fate. He hears the ticking of the clocks And walks along with a parrot that talks Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailers all come in Maybe she'll pick him out again how long must he wait One more time for a simple twist of fate.

"I don't know" that's what you always say, How ?bout we drive 390 miles? There's a place that I know Where I can play guitar and just let it go And loony dance like it's goin' out of style. Well there might just be some people there With the night in the eye, and stuff in their hair, searchin', singin', souls for songs an' sips. Who am I not to oblige? Mine an' yours, whatever flies, I wish that I could do consecutive flips. So I'll sing for my dinner, If you can pick a winner, An' I'll play ?till my fingers turn blue. And I'll sing for the sinners, Try to noodle for the spinners, Freakiness will hopefully ensue. Back-flip off the stage I go, Get passed around like at a punk rock show, I trust the night-eyed people not to let me down. A bunch of hands touchin' on me, It sounds kinda creepy but I'll have to wait an' see, So look out front row, That's where I'm bound. Well I closed my eyes an' to my surprise, They got out of the way when I hit the skies, And I landed on the concrete hard like a ton-a-lead. They scooped me up an' they flashed me down-town, Put me in a buttless gown, And I finished that set right from my hospital bed. So I'll sing for my dinner, If you can pick a winner, An' I'll play ?till my fingers turn blue. And I'll sing for the sinners, Try to noodle for the spinners, Freakiness will hopefully ensue. Crazy as it may sound, I found the answer when I hit the ground, To that age-old question: can I fly? It was worth all of the pain an' the bills, But one thing is true: curiosity kills, But the hospital shrink wants to know the reason why. I said, I don't know, it's just a feelin', I guess, A feelin' that makes me feel like I'm blessed, And I only seem to get that when I am there. I figured out that I'm one of them, And I'm mindlessly trying to get back again, But the next time I reckon I'll take the stairs. So I'll sing for my dinner, If you can pick a winner, An' I'll play ?till my fingers turn blue. And I'll sing for the sinners, Try to noodle for the spinners, Freakiness will hopefully ensue. ============= 8277 ================ Dolly Parton - Sing For The Common Man lyrics You may not know me now But I have been around You'll never see my name on any pages I'm just the common man The fool who understands The pain you go through When life takes you under So, sing for the common man A song for the common man He paid for the song with the sweat of his brow He will survive, he will survive You may not know my mother My sisters or my brothers Yet everyone has given for the other You know the working man He builds what others plan So, everyone of us should sing his story So, sing for the common man A song for the common man He paid for the song with the sweat of his brow He will survive, he will survive Dat after day He keeps working away In offices, factories, and farms Year after year He sheds tear after tear He will provide, he will survive So, sing for the common man A song for the common man He paid for the song with the sweat of his brow He will survive, he will survive ============= 8278 ================ (Bobby Wayne - Dennis Hromek) Bobby Wayne I wish somebody would sing me a happy song For that's just the way I wanna feel Sad songs are all I've heard since my baby's gone Won't somebody please sing me a happy song.

Sometimes I Cry I can't find a reason, To let go, Even though you've found a new love, And she's what your dreams are made of. I can't find a reason, To hang on, What went wrong can be forgiven, Without you it ain't worth living alone Sometimes I wake up crying at night, And sometimes I scream out your name, What right does she have to take you away, When for so long you were mine. I took out all the pictures, Of our wedding day, It was a time of love and laughter, Happy ever after. But even though those pictures, Have begun to fade, Please tell me she's not real, And that you're really coming home to stay. Sometimes I wake up crying at night, And sometimes I scream out your name, What right does she have to take your heart away, When for so long you were mine.

I cut and peeled a hazel wand, and hooked a berry to a thread. And when white moths were on the wing, and moth-like stars were flickering out, I dropped the berry in a stream and caught a little silver trout. And when I laid it on the bank, and stooped to blow the fire aflame, then something rustled on the floor, And someone called me by my name. It had become a glimmering girl, With apple blossoms in her hair, Who called me by my name and ran, And vanished in the brightening air. Though I am old with wandering, Through hollow lands and hilly lands, I will find out where she has gone, And know her mouth and take her hand.

Oh if I could return to those boyhood days of mine And the green light on the southern Southern Railroad Line.

Bob Gibson 'Twas November the 4th in the year of '91, We had a strong engagement near to Fort Jefferson, Sinclair was our commander which may remembered be, For we left 900 men there in that Western Territory. The Indians attacked our force just as the day did dawn, The arrows fell like deadly rain as we were set upon, 900 hundred men fell writhing before our startled eyes, While horrid yells of savages resounded to the sky. The army was attacked just as the day did dawn, And was soon overpowered and driven from the lawn, They killed Major Oldham, Levin and Briggs likewise, While horrid yells of savages resounded to the sky. We fought for seven hours or more, and then we had to yeild Nine hundred of our comrads lay streached upon the field Said Major Clark, "My heroes, we can no longer stand We must strive to form in order, and retreat the best we can." The word "retreat" being passed around, there rose a dismal cry, Then helter-skelter through the woods like wolves and sheep they fly, This well-apointed army which but a day before, Now fled before the svages and his bloody kind of war, Alas, the dead and dying---how aweful to relate, To the tomahawk and scalping knife it was their dreadful fate. But pity more the wounded, who were taken from the fray To writhe in torment at the stake, to close that dreadful day. To mention our brave officers is what I wish to do, No sons of Mars e're fought more brave or with more courage true, To Captain Bradford I belonged---to his artillery, He fell that day amongst the slain --- a valiant man was he. At Bunker's Hill and at Kennebec where many a hero fell, Likewise at Cannondaigua the truth to you I'll tell, But such a bloody carnage may I never see again, As happened near St. Mary's all on that river plain. ============= 8567 ================ The Devil Makes Three -

(Spoken) I was walkin' in Savannah, passed the church decayed and dimed When there's slowly through the window came a plaintive funeral hymn And a sympathy awakened an' a wonder quickly grew Till I found myself seat in a little negro pew. Out at front a young couple sat in sorrow, nearly wild And on the altar was a coffin and in the coffin lay a child Rows of sad old negro preacher at his little wooden desk With a manner grandly awkward with the countless grotesque. And he said now don't be weepin' for this little bit of clay For the little boy who lived there he done gone and run away He's was doin' very finely and he appreaciated your love But it's sure enough father want him in the large house up above. Now he didn't give you that baby by a hundred thousand miles He just think you need some sunshine and he lend it for awhile He let you keep and love it till your hearts were bigger grown And these silver tears you have shed that's just interest on the loan. So my poor dejected mourners let your hearts with Jesus rest And don't go criticizein' no one the one that knows the best He gives us many comforts he's ever right to take away To the Lord be praised in glory now and ever let us pray.

You're not the first one, stranger, who laughed at Sully's pail. You're the only one who's laughing now, the rest have heard the tail. When we were young and handsome, had some ten years in the game, Old Sull he had a partner, and Jim Riley was his name. The four of us together, we were working side by side. That's how come I chanced to be there on the night Jim Riley died. Well the blasting had been easy, it was running out like sand. An we were mucking out the ore; those days we mucked by hand. And we were nearly finished, and I hadn't heard a sound. But something must have happened, 'Cause Jim Riley yelled "bad ground." When we headed for the timberin', Sully must of took a spill 'Cause when we looked back in there he was pinned beneath his drill. The ceiling it was groanin' now, all set to drop its lid. And Sully pinned beneath his drill was sobbin' like a kid. Now there's men can watch their partners die, not throw their lives away. But Riley wasn't one of them, he wasn't built that way. As soon's he seen what happened, "Hey, hold on Sull," he cried. And before he had the words out, he'd thrown the drill aside. Well, they headed 'round the ore car, Riley wearing a big grin. Guess he never knew what happened when he hanging wall came in. Sully reached the timberin', his face as white as chalk. And Riley, four yards back of him, caught fifteen ton of rock. That day Sully's pail was buried, he ate from Riley's pail in tears. And he's carried that same bucket now for almost twenty years. So you can laugh at Sully, because he's mean and drinks a lot. But don't laugh at Sully's bucket, it's the only friend he's got.

You're not the first one stranger, that has laughed at Sully's Pail; You're the only one that's laughing now, the rest have heard this tale. Sure, when we was young and handsome, had ten years in the game, Old Sull, he had a partner and Jim Rielly was his name. They had knocked about together, Bingham, Butte, and Coeur D'Alene And they brawled in every bar-room from Ely to Fort McLean. Now me and old Ted Johnson, sure you'll not remember him, We was working at the Rarris had a stope with Sull and Jim. The four of us together, we was working side-by-side, That's how I chanced to be there on the night Jim Reilly died. Well, the blastin' had been easy, it was coming out like sand, And we was muckin' out the ore, those days we mucked by hand. And we was nearly finished, and I hadn't heard a sound, But something must have happened, for Jim Reilly yelled "Bad ground!" When we headed for the timb'ring, Sully must've took a spill, For when we looked back in there, he was pinned beneath his drill. The ceiling, it was groaning now, all set to drop the lid, And Sully, pinned beneath his drill, was sobbing like a kid. Well, there's some can watch their partners die, not throw their lives away, But Reilly wasn't one of them, he wasn't built that way. As soon's he seed what happened, "Hey, hold on there, Sull!" he cried, And before he had the words out, he had thrown the drill aside. They come around the ore car, Reilly wearing a big grin. Guess he never knew what happened when the hanging wall caved in. Sully reached the timb'ring, his face as white as chalk, And Reilly, two yards back of him, caught fifteen ton of rock. That day Sully's pail was buried, he ate from Reilly's pail in tears, And he's carried that same bucket now for more than twenty years; So, you can laugh at Sull because he's mean and drinks a lot, But don't laugh at Sully's bucket, it's the only friend he's got.

Big boys movin' in, small farmers movin' on. The way may be goin', but the life ain't gone. On a summer evenin' when the corn's head-high, And there's more lightnin' bugs than stars in the sky. Ah, you get the feelin' things may be alright, On a summer evenin' before the dark of night. Walked down by the river where my good fields are, It's a dusty old road, but there ain't many cars. Think about my wife, my daughter and my son, If the good Lord's still lookin', the Lord's will be done. But on a summer evenin' when the corn's head-high, And there's more lightnin' bugs than stars in the sky. Ah, you get the feelin' things may be alright, On a summer evenin' before the dark of night. Mmm, on a summer evenin' when the corn's head-high, And there's more lightnin' bugs than stars in the sky. Ah you get the feelin' things may be alright, On a summer evenin' before the dark of night.

Never leave your woman alone, when your friends are out to steal her Years are gambled and lost, like summer wages. And we'll rolling on till we get ro Vancouver And the woman I love whose waiting there It's been six long months and more since I've seen her May be gambled and lost like summer wages. In all the beer parlors all down along Main Street All the dreams of the season are all spilled down on the floor All the big stands of timber just waiting for falling And the hustlers sitting watchfully as they wait there by the door So I'll work on the tow boats, with my slippery city shoes Which I swore I would never do again Through the gray fog-bound straits where the ceders stand watching I'll be far off and gone like summer wages She's a woman so fine, I may never try to find her For the good memories of what we had before They should never be changed, for they're all that

I'd like to cut down early, when the sweetest breeze is blowing that ole summer season down And the hard times comes back, from where only strong men can go And the dirty works all done here in the town. I could pick up my things from the keeper, collect what pay is due me from the man from the man. I could walk straight down the floodway where the water bends around, And follow you Old River to my home. Oh, but if I could, I'd be gone tomorrow Oh, but if I could, I'd leave today. If I just had the strength left Lord, to get myself back home, I'd leave right now, but I guess I'm gonna stay. Time seems to stain this old man's soul, and now the pain, it comes from places that I never knew before. It's a pity what has come and gone, I long for younger days, the cold wind chills me right down to my bones. Maybe next year things may be some different.

I say "What do you mean?" He says "YOU!" then he starts to scream, and I'm standin', everybody's lookin', everybody's starin' -at me- ... (nervous laugh) "Howdy doody...y'all waitin' for the bus? Ah ... a little late isn't it ... anybody got a watch? ... we could uh see how late it is ... I got a better idea, let's find somebody with a watch and stare at him!" Well some start pickin' up baseball bats and the others are pullin' the pins from their hats - "I think this thing's gone a little too far, hell, I only offered him a CANDY BAR!" I said "WAIT!" I said "What are you doin'?" They said "PRE-VERT the kid's life is ruined!" "Oh...oh well then you better check what he's chewin' cause I got the feelin' he's in the middle of a bubble gum orgy!"

I says "Show ya what?" He says "The CANDY BAR you degen-a-rut" and he grabs me. He grabs both my hands. Pretty easy to see ... which hand's got the chocolate! Well I've had some troubled times before, but none like the trip from the candy store ... sympathize with the kid all right, somebody's nice to ya, probably ain't right.

That's in County Cavan, to look around. My great grandaddy came from there. I want to see if the old home place is still there.' Well he shook his head up and down And then side to side and then he turned around and said 'A Cavan man then you know, a lot of people wouldn't admit to that' I figured I'd save a little hassle so I booked a room nearby in a fancy castle Had a hard time gettin' my dinner there It was full of these people with light blonde hair Danish tourists two big busloads of 'em Now the owner of the place, his hair was black When I talked to him, I didn't get much back His people are what you call 'west Brits' They're the ones that treated my people like dirt That's what lead to the Irish civil war, I didn't know I'd come back for a little bit more His nose was way up in the air but he took my money all the same That night I dreamed I saw the ghost of the one I'd rather have as host It was Tom O'Brien walkin' round the cabin, there in Kingscourt town in County Cavan Then the very next day in the hardware store I found a cousin ten times removed or more But he was no apparition, he wasn't a haint he was sellin' nuts and bolts and paint I told him about our family connection, and he kinda stood there still, reflectin' I could tell he wasn't that much impressed when he asked me with nary a trace of jest He said, 'How exactly may I help you sir?' I just bought some nails and got the hell out of there Then later that day after some detection, I found the lane in the rural section It matched the picture in my dad's scrap book And my heart beat faster as I drove to look The sun burst through the clouds just then as I gazed at the current residents It was a little sheep dog and an old milk cow Yeah the old home place is an old barn now It's ashes to ashes dust to dust thatched roof to tin roof and tin roof to rust ============= 8830 ================ Linda Ronstadt - Talking in the Dark I tried again to drive myself insane I talk to myself but I don't listen I found out what I was missing I miss talking in the dark Without you I'm not conversation Oh without the sense of the occasion Oh without you I miss talking in the dark When the barking and the biting are through We can talk like we're in love Or we can talk above it We can talk and talk Until we talk ourselves out of it I look for the new somebody to abuse I look at myself but it's so chancy I see things that I don't fancy I miss talking in the dark Without you I'm not conversation Oh without the sense of the occasion Oh without you I miss talking in the dark ============= 8831 ================ The Incredible String Band - Talking Of The End Talking of the end, talking of the end Let me hear you say it will not be Talking of the end, talking of the end Let me hear you say you disagree This is no time for easy riding This is no time to cry Better start to play your part Start to live before you start to die Dream the world all alive Busily conspiring humming like a hive Dream the world all alive I dream it as me Rise as fair and tender leaves Brightening in countless eyes And the sweet song of whales Beneath the sea If I could sing only one song I'd sing of you If I could sing only one song I'd sing of you If I could sing only one song If I could sing only one song I'd sing of you ============= 8832 ================ Dolly Parton - Tall Man lyrics Oh I wish I was a kissin' tree a growin' in the ground And every time my sweet pass by I'd throw some kisses down And if he wants more kisses here's all he has to do Just come up here that kissin' tree and I'll give him some kissin' to I love a tall man he ain't a small man my man is all man and the only man for me Now I wish I was a kissin' tree out on the lone prairie And everytime my sweet pass by he'd steal a kiss from me And if he wants more kisses here's all he has to know Just plant me down in a Texas town and watch them kisses grow I love a tall man he ain't a small man my man is all man and the only man for me And the only one for me ooh ============= 8833 ================ Tall Pines Once in my youth, I stood on this mountain And planted some pines in the sand Every day I looked their way But just couldn't understand Why they never grew like I thought they should do I just couldn't understand why Now I've rambled around this wide world through And today I just happened by Tall pines, tall pines Reaching up for the clouds Tall pines, tall pines I bet you wouldn't know me now.

Her folks they said our lives together Sure was gonna be rough They never did like Mama's homemade dress Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough. And I was standin' on the side of the road Rain fallin' on my shoes Heading out for the East Coast Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through, Tangled up in blue. She was married when we first met Soon to be divorced I helped her out of a jam, I guess, But I used a little too much force. We drove that car as far as we could Abandoned it out West Split up on a dark sad night Both agreeing it was best. She turned around to look at me As I was walkin' away I heard her say over my shoulder, "We'll meet again someday on the avenue," Tangled up in blue. I had a job in the great north woods Working as a cook for a spell But I never did like it all that much And one day the ax just fell. So I drifted down to New Orleans Where I was looking {lucky?} for to be employed Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat Right outside of Delacroix. But all the while I was alone The past was close behind, I seen a lot of women But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew Tangled up in blue. She was workin' in a topless place And I stopped in for a beer, I just kept lookin' at the side of her face In the spotlight so clear. And later on as the crowd thinned out I's just about to do the same, She was standing there in back of my chair Said to me, "Don't I know your name?" I muttered somethin' underneath my breath, She studied the lines on my face. I must admit I felt a little uneasy When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe, Tangled up in blue. She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe "I thought you'd never say hello," she said "You look like the silent type." Then she opened up a book of poems And handed it to me Written by an Italian poet From the thirteenth century. And every one of them words rang true And glowed like burnin' coal Pourin' off of every page Like it was written in my soul from me to you, Tangled up in blue. I lived with them on Montague Street In a basement down the stairs, There was music in the cafes at night And revolution in the air. Then he started into dealing with slaves And something inside of him died. She had to sell everything she owned And froze up inside. And when finally the bottom fell out I became withdrawn, The only thing I knew how to do Was to keep on keepin' on like a bird that flew, Tangled up in blue. So now I'm goin' back again, I got to get to her somehow. All the people we used to know They're an illusion to me now. Some are mathematicians. Some are carpenter's wives. Don't know how it all got started, I don't know what they're doin' with their lives. But me, I'm still on the road Headin' for another joint. We always did feel the same, We just saw it from a different point of view, Tangled up in blue. ============= 8841 ================ Tarnished Angel Recorded by George Jones Written by Roger Miller C G7 Your halo is the neon F C Your heart a jukebox song F C Your heaven is a honky tonk D7 G7 You love to live so wrong C G7 I know your not much angel F C As a saint you've gained no fame F C My angel's kinda tarnished F G7 C But I love just the same G7 Tarnished angel C From a backstreet bar G7 Tarnished angel D7 G7 I want you just as you are C G7 Our worlds are strange and different F C But love they say is true F C I'll try to live in your world F G7 C If you won't live in mine repeat #3 C G7 Our worlds are strange and different F C But love they say is blind F C I'll try to live in your world F G7 C If you won't live in mine ============= 8842 ================ Tattletale Eyes Recorded by Tammy Wynette and George Jones Written by J.

Ev'ry teddy bear who's been good Is sure of a treat today. There's lots of marvelous things to eat And wonderful games to play. Beneath the trees where nobody sees They'll hide and seek as long as they please Cause that's the way the teddy bears have their picnic. If you go down to the woods today You'd better not go alone. It's lovely down in the woods today But safer to stay at home. For ev'ry bear that ever there was Will gather there for certain, because Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic. Picnic time for teddy bears The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today Watch them, catch them unawares And see them picnic on their holiday. See them gaily gad about They love to play and shout; They never have any care; At six o'clock their mummies and daddies, Will take them home to bed, Because they're tired little teddy bears.

He's a pretty nice fellow but he's kind of confused. He's got muscles in his head that ain't never been used. Thinks he owns half of this town. Starts drinking heavy, gets a big red nose.

You're up one day and the next you're down. It's half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown. That's the way that the world goes 'round.

In the card room down at Louie's He takes the pay from the working man. Chorus: Lay your cards upon the table, And everybody show their hand. Foiled again you sad-eyed losers, Foiled again by Honest Sam. Once, there came a simple stranger. He caught Sam cheatin' and words was said.

Chorus ============= 8984 ================ The Avett Brothers - The Ballad Of Love & Hate Love writes a letter and sends it to hate. My vacation's ending. I'm coming home late. The weather was fine and the ocean was great And I can't wait to see you again. Hate reads the letter and throws it away. "No one here cares if you go or you stay. I barely even noticed that you were away. I'll see you or I won't, whatever." Love sings a song as she sails through the sky. The water looks bluer through her pretty eyes. And everyone knows it whenever she flies, And also when she comes down. Hate keeps his head up and walks through the street. Every stranger and drifter he greets. And shakes hands with every loner he meets With a serious look on his face. Love arrives safely with suitcase in tow. Carrying with her the good things we know. A reason to live and a reason to grow. To trust. To hold. To care. Hate sits alone on the hood of his car. Without much regard to the moon or the stars. Lazily killing the last of a jar Of the strongest stuff you can drink. Love takes a taxi, a young man drives. As soon as he sees her, hope fills his eyes. But tears follow after, at the end of the ride, 'Cause he might never see her again. Hate gets home lucky to still be alive. He screams o'er the sidewalk and into the drive. The clock in the kitchen says 2: 55, And the clock in the kitchen is slow. Love has been waiting, patient and kind. Just wanting a phone call or some kind of sign, That the one that she cares for, who's out of his mind, Will make it back safe to her arms. Hate stumbles forward and leans in the door. Weary head hung down, eyes to the floor. He says "Love, I'm sorry", and she says, "What for?" "I'm yours and that's it, whatever. I should not have been gone for so long. I'm yours and that's it, forever." You're mine and that's it, forever. ============= 8985 ================ The Ballad Of Penny Evans Steve Goodman Oh my name is Penny Evans and my age is twenty-one A young widow in the war that's being fought in Viet Nam And I have two infant daughters and I do the best I can Now they say the war is over, but I think it's just begun. And I remember I was seventeen on the day I met young Bill. At his father's grand piano, we'd play good old "Heart and Soul". Well, I only knew the left hand part and he the right so well. He's the only boy I've slept with and the only one I will. It's first we had a baby girl, and we had two good years. It was next the 1A notice came, and we parted without tears. It was nine months from our last good bye our second babe appears. So it's ten months and a telegram confirming all our fears. And now every month I get a check from an Army bureaucrat. And it's every month I tear it up and I mail the damn thing back. Do you think that makes it all right, do you think I'd fall for that?

But my value will increase at the time of my decease, When I grow up I want to be a bodhran. If you kill me for my meat, you won't find me very sweet, Your palate, I'm afraid, I'd soon turn sour on. But if you do me in for the sake of my thick skin, You'll find I'll make a tasty little bodhran. Now my parents, Bill and Nan, they do not approve my plan, To become a yoke for everyone to pound on. But sure I would sooner scamper with a bang than with a whimper, And achieve reincarnation as a bodhran. I look forward to the day when I leave off eating hay, And become a drum to entertain a crowd on. And I'll make my presence felt with each well-delivered belt, As a fully qualified and licensed bodhran. And 'tis when I'm killed and cured, my career will be assured, I'll be a skin you see no scum nor scour on. But with studs around my rim, I'll be sound in wind and limb, And I'll make a handy dandy little bodhran. Oh, my heart with joy expands, when I dream of far off lands, And consider all the streets that I will sound on. And I pity my poor Ma, who was never at a fleadh, Or indulged in foreign travel as a bodhran. For a hornpipe or a reel, a dead donkey had no feel, Or a horse or cow or sheep that has its shroud on. And you can't join in a jig, if you're a former grade A pig, But you can wallop out the lot if you're a bodhran. And I don't think that I'll much mind, when I've left meself behind, Or regret I can no longer turn the power on, For with my Celtic Inc. design tattooed on my behind, I can be a very sexy little bodhran. Now I think I've had enough, of the rubbishy auld guff, So I'll put a sudden end to this wee ahmran Quite soon my b-b-bleat, will become a steady beat, When I start my new existence as a bodhran. ============= 9029 ================ The Bolton Stretch Yonder Mountain String Band He cracks a wicked smile and his foot pressed to the floor Flyin' down country roads that he's been down before One of just three men that the sheriff cannot catch And he's travelin' 90 miles down the Bolton Stretch The first time we had seen his face was back in '84 He walked right into old O'Hare's, he robbed that liquor store The sheriff tried to catch him but the man he got away And he didn't show his face in town again until today Chorus: Didn't come for justice, didn't come to make amends (He) doesn't ask forgiveness, he's not looking to make friends Just that he was passing through with money wearin' thin Now he's travelin' down the Bolton Stretch again He watches all the trees fly by, but doesn't seem to care Knows it's time to leave again, but doesn't know to where And though he stole a lot of money, it's not enough for bail And there are two blue lights behind him now, the sheriff's on his trail Since the day that he was born he spent his whole live livin' free With nothing but the loosest ties to friends and family No punishment will make him care about the things he's done And if he lives another 20 years he'll live 'em on the run [Chorus] ============= 9030 ================ Sarah Jarosz - The Book of Right-On We should shine a light on, a light on And the book of right-on's right-on, it was right-on We should shine a light on, a light-on And the book of right-on's right-on, it was right-on I killed my dinner with karate Kick 'em in the face, taste the body Shallow work is the work that I do Do you want to sit at my table My fighting fame is fabled And fortune finds me fit and able And you do say - oh oh That you do pray - oh oh And you say that you're okay And do you want to run with my pack Do you want to ride on my back Pray that what you lack does not distract And even when you run through my mind Something else is in front, oh, you're behind And I don't have to remind you to stick with your kind And you do say - oh oh That you do pray - oh oh And you say that you're okay And even when you touch my face You know your place Yeah and even when you touch my face You know your place We should shine a light on, a light on And the book of right-on's right-on, it was right-on We should shine a light on, a light on The book of right-on's right-on, it was right-on ============= 9031 ================ Each night I leave the barroom when it's over Not feeling any pain at closing time But tonight you memory found me much too sober Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind Tonight the bottle let down And let you memory come around The one true friend I thought I'd found Tonight the bottle let down I've always had a bottle I could turn to And lately I've been turning everyday But the wind don't take effect the way it used to And I'm hurting in an old familiar way ============= 9032 ================ The Boxer Paul Simon I am just a poor boy Though my story's seldom told I have squandered my resistance For a pocketful of mumbles Such are promises All lies and jests Still a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest When I left my home and my family I was no more than a boy In the company of strangers In the quiet of the railway station Running scared Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters Where the ragged people go Looking for the places only they would know Chorus: Lie la lie...

If you pay good wages, transportation to and fro, Most likely, Sir, I'll go with you to the Range of the Buffalo." "Well, yes I pay good wages and transportation, too, If you're agreed to work for me until the summer's through. But, if you get dissatisfied and head back for Jacksboro, Most likely, Sir, you'll starve to death on the Range of the Buffalo." Now, with all his flatterin' talkin', he'd signed up quite a team: With navy, six, and needle gun, seven able-bodied men. Our way it was a pleasant one as we left out from Jacksboro, Until we crossed Pease River, boys, on the Range of the Buffalo. So it's now we've crossed Pease River, and our troubles have begun. The first damned tail I went to rip, Christ how I cut my thumb! While skinning them damned old stinkers, our lives they weren't no show, 'Cause the Indians waited to picked us off on the Range of the Buffalo. He fed us on such sorry chuck I wished myself most dead. It was old jerky beef, croton coffee and sour bread. Pease River's as salty as Hellfire; that water I could never go. I'll tell you there's no worse Hell on earth than the Range of the Buffalo. Our meat it was buffalo hump, and iron wedge was our bread. And, all we had to sleep on was buffalo robes for bed. The fleas and the graybacks worked on us; oh boys, they were not slow. Oh God, I wish I'd never come to the Range of the Buffalo. Our hearts was cased in buffalo hock, and our souls was cased in steel. And, the hardships of that summer did nearly make me reel. While skinning them damned old stinkers, our lives they weren't no show, 'Cause the outlaws waited to picked us off on the Range of the Buffalo. Well, the season bein' near over, old Krego he did say, "You boys have been extravagant, and I owe you no more pay." We begged him, and we pleaded, but still it was no go. So, we left that drover's bones to bleach on the Range of the Buffalo. So, it's now we've crossed Pease River, and homeward we are bound. No more in that Hellfired country shall ever we be found. Go home to our wives and our sweethearts, tell others not to go. For, God's forsaken the Buffalo Range and the damned old buffalo. ============= 9042 ================ The Devil Makes Three - The Bullet Well he opened up his shop at the age of nineteen Stealing anything the eye could see Said gather round, you people, anything you need I'll keep my name on your lips And put the word out on the street And I will ride til my fingers, they are down to the bone Wander til I can't remember my own home Drink til I don't know the meaning of alone Until that bullet flies to carry me home 'til that bullet flies that bullet flies that bullet flies That bullet flies that bullet flies to carry me home 'til that bullet flies that bullet flies that bullet flies That bullet flies that bullet flies to carry me home Well he never, ever smiled but he always seemed pleased Said I'll never live down upon my bended knees Said I see the game and the game, it sees me And we will dance until they bury me So I will rise like the ashes from a building as it burns Screaming at my enemies you'll all have your turn The more pain I feel, the less that it hurts The more I move on, the more I am sure That I will ride til my fingers, they are down to the bone Wander til I can't remember my own home Drink til I don't know the meaning of alone Until that bullet flies to carry me home 'til that bullet flies, that bullet flies, that bullet flies That bullet flies, that bullet flies to carry me home 'til that bullet flies, that bullet flies, that bullet flies That bullet flies, that bullet flies to carry me home ============= 9043 ================ The Butcher Boy She went upstairs to make her bed And not a word to her mother she said Her mother she went up there too Dear daughter dear daughter what's wrong with you Oh mother oh mother I can not tell That butcher boy that I love so well There's another girl in another town He goes out there and he sits right down That night her father came home from work Sayin' mother dear mother where is my girl He went upstairs to give her hope And he found her hanging from a rope Then he took his knife and he cut her down And in her bosom these words he found Go did my grave both wide and deep With marble stones at my head and feet In the middle of my grave put a snow white dove To show this world that I died for love ============= 9044 ================ Richard Thompson - The Calvary Cross I was under the Calvary Cross The pale-faced lady, she said to me "I've watched you with my one green eye And I'll hurt you til you need me" You scuff your heels and you spit on your shoes Oh, you do nothing with reason One day you catch a train Oh, you never leave the station Everything you do Oh, everything you do You do for me Now you can make believe on your tin whistle And you can be my broom-boy Ahh, scrub me til I shine in the dark And I'll be your light til doomsday If a black cat crossed your path Oh, why don't you follow?

They're all out on a southbound odyssey The train rolls out of Kankakee Rollin' past the houses, farms and fields, Passin' trains that have no names Freight yards full of old black men, And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles. Singin', "Good mornin', America, how are you? Say, don't you know me? I'm your native son. I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans. And I'll be gone five hundred miles when day is done." I was dealin' cards with the old men in the club car, It's a penny a point, there ain't no-one keepin' score. Won't you pass the paper bag that holds that bottle, You can feel the wheels a-rumblin' through the floor. And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers Ride their fathers' magic carpet made of steam; Mothers with their babes asleep, rockin' to the gentle beat, The rythm of the rails is all they dream. Singin', "Good mornin', America, how are you? Say, don't you know me? I'm your native son. I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans. And I'll be gone five hundred miles when day is done." Nighttime on the City of New Orleans, Changin' cars in Memphis, Tennessee. It's halfway home, and we'll be there by mornin', Through the Mississippi darkness rollin' down to the sea. But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream, The old steel rail it ain't heard the news, The conductor sings his song again, it's, "Passengers will please refrain..." This train's got the disappearin' railroad blues. Singin', "Good night, America, how are you? Say, don't you know me? I'm your native son. I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans. And I'll be gone five hundred miles when day is done." Singin', "Good night, America, how are you? Say, don't you know me? I'm your native son. I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans.

The conductor took the tickets as he counted every soul, while the engineer looked straight ahead, and the fireman he shoveled coal. Now the fireman he was a cowboy, but do not think it strange, he could make more money shoveling coal than riding on the range. And though he was a fireman, and though he had to sweat, He still remained a Western boy and he kept his lariat. Now the train was way behind time, and the passengers all were wild, When on the track a-sudden, there strolled a little child. Her hair in golden ringlets, was hanging down her back, She little knew her danger grave as she strolled along that track. "My gosh!", the Hogshead shouted, as he slammed on all his brakes, I'll never stop this SP train, 'cause I ain't got what it takes! Up stepped the cowboy fireman, and a gallant lad was he, He said, "I'll save that baby, if I wreck this whole SP!" He stepped out on the running board, with tears his eyes were wet, While in his hand our hero brave, bore his trusty lariat. He quickly dropped a fast loop 'round a pole beside the track, And then he tied the other end around that big smoke stack. Well he jerked that train right off the rails, and caused an awful wreck, While in the ditch our hero lay with engine on his neck.

And we sit and drink our coffee Couched in our indifference, Like shells upon the shore You can hear the ocean roar In the dangling conversation And the superficial sighs, Are the borders of our lives. And you read your Emily Dickinson, And I my Robert Frost, And we note our place with bookmarkers That measure what we've lost. Like a poem poorly written We are verses out of rhythm, Couplets out of rhyme, In syncopated time Lost in the dangling conversation And the superficial sighs, Are the borders of our lives. Yes, we speak of things that matter, With words that must be said, "Can analysis be worthwhile?" "Is the theater really dead?" And how the room is softly faded And I only kiss your shadow, I cannot feel your hand, You're a stranger now unto me Lost in the dangling conversation. And the superficial sighs, In the borders of our lives. ============= 9079 ================ Linda Ronstadt - The Dark End of the Street At the dark end of the street That's where we always meet Hiding in shadows where we don't belong Living in darkness to hide our wrong You and me, at the dark end of the street Just you and me I know that time is gonna take its toll We're gonna pay for the love that we stole Ah it's a sin and we know that it's wrong Ah but our love keeps coming on strong You and me, at the dark end of the street Just you and me They're gonna find us They're gonna find us They're gonna find us someday We'll steal away to the dark end of the street Just you and me If you take a walk downtown And you find some time to look around If you should see me and I walk on by Oh darling please don't cry Tonight we'll meet At the dark end of the street Just you and me, oh you and me, oh you and me ============= 9080 ================ Richard Thompson - The Dark End Of The Street At the dark end of the street That's where we'd always meet Hiding in shadows where we don't belong Living in darkness to hide our wrong You and me, at the dark end of the street You and me I know that time's gonna take it's toll We've got to give back all the love that we stole It's a sin and we know it's wrong Oh, but our love keeps coming on strong Steal away, to the dark end of the street They're going to find us, they're going to find us They're going to find us, oh someday You and me, at the dark end of the street You and me And if by chance we walk downtown If you should see me just walk on by But darling, please don't cry Tonight we'll meet at the dark end of the street ============= 9081 ================ The Darkest Hour The sun is slowly sinking The day is almost gone Still darkness falls around us And we must journey on.

The tinker had a loving wife, and he loved her most dear, But every opportunity, he went upon the beer. Chorus: Singing fa de le fol de di do Fal lal de day Well the tinker and his loving wife through Newry town did pass, The tinker he got drunk, and left the wife to mind the ass, The ass was starved with hunger, and it couldn't hold its feet, So she sold it to the candy man that lives in market street. When the tinker he arose, out of his drunken sleep, Unto his loving wife Judy, he surely then did creep, He put his hand into his pocket, and it was scarce of brass, saying go and get a stone of hay and feed it to the ass. Oh she said dear John, the ass won't bother you, For I have sold the ass, and drunk the money too, He up with his tin mallet, and he hit her o'er the brain, Be God and you will never sell and ass on me again. Well the wife she staggered backwards, but didn't hit the floor, For she was twenty stone, and also six foot four, She welted him severely, and knocked him through the door, And now their heads are both well bruised, and also rather sore. A half a stone of boiled pig's feet, is just the ting they say, Others swear a pint of milk keeps hangovers at bay, But the moral of this sad sad tale, though you may think it queer, Is to feed your ass a stone of hay before you hit the beer. ============= 9101 ================ The Dust On The Bible I went into a home one day to see some friends of mine Of all their books and magazines, not a Bible could I find I asked them for the Bible, when they brought it what a shame For the dust was covered o'er it, not a finger print was plain Dust on the Bible, dust on the Holy Word The words of all our prophets and the sayings of our Lord Of all the other books you'll find there's none salvation holds Get that dust off the Bible, and redeem your poor your soul You can read your magazines, read of love and tragfic things But not one word of Bible verse, not a scripture do you know When it is the very truth, and its contents good for you But if dust is covered o'er it, it is sure to doom your soul * Refrain If you have a friend you'd like to help along life's way Just tell him that the Good Book shows a mortal how to pray The best advice to give him that will make his burden light Is to dust the family Bible, crade the wrong way for the right * Refrain ============= 9102 ================ The Dutchman Michael Smith The Dutchman's not the kind of man Who keeps his thumb jammed in the dam that holds his dreams in. But that's a secret that only Margaret knows. When Amsterdam is golden in the summer, Margaret brings him breakfast, she believes him. He thinks the tulips bloom beneath the snow. He's mad as he can be, but Margaret only sees that sometimes. Sometimes she sees her unborn children in his eyes. Chorus: Let us go to the banks of the ocean Where the walls rise above the Zuider Zee. Long ago, I used to be a young man And dear Margaret remembers that for me. The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes, His cap and coat are patched with the love that Margaret sewed there. Sometimes he thinks he's still in Rotterdam. He watches the tug-boats down canals And calls out to them when he thinks he knows the Captain. Till Margaret comes to take him home again Through unforgiving streets that trip him, though she holds his arm, Sometimes he thinks he's alone and he calls her name. Chorus The windmills whirl the winter in. She winds his muffler tighter, And they sit in the kitchen. Some tea with whiskey keeps away the dew.

Traditional, from Joan Baez, Michael Nesmith Along came the F.F.V. The swiftest on the line She was runnin' down the C&O road Just twenty-five minutes behind Runnin' into Sewall The headquarters on the line And receivin' very strict orders From the station right behind Georgie's mother came to him Her bucket on her arm And she said, "My darlin' son, Be careful how you run, There's many a man that's lost his life Just tryin' to make lost time. But if you run your engine right You'll get there right on time." Up the tracks she darted And into a rock she crashed Upside down the engine turned And poor Georgie's head was smashed His head lay 'gainst the firebox door And the flames were runnin' high And he said, "I'm proud to be born for an engineer With C&O road to die." The doctor said to Georgie, "My darlin' boy, be still. Your life may yet be saved If it is God's precious will." "Oh no," cried he, "That will not do. I'd rather die so free. I want to die for the engine I love: One hundred and forty-three." The doctor said to Georgie, "Your life cannot be saved." He was murdered on a railway And laid in a lonesome grave And his eyes were covered up with blood And his eyes they could not see So the very last words poor Georgie cried Were, "Nearer my God to thee." Notes: This folk song, also known as "Engine 143" and "The Wreck On The C&O", is based on the events of 23 Oct 1890, when a landslide 3 miles east of Hinton, West Virginia caused a trainwreck. The best-known recording of "Engine 143" is by the Carter Family. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Wreck on the C & O This ballad, like that of "John Hardy", was made in West Virginia. Ten variants have been found, all very much alike. The facts out of which the song grew were obtained from Miss Margaret Alley and Mr. Ernest N. Alley, Alderson, West Virginia, sister and brother of George Alley, the man killed in the wreck, and from Mr. R.E. Noel Hinton, formerly an engineer on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. George Alley was born in Richmond, Virginia, July 10, 1860, was married and had four children. The wreck on the C & O in which he was killed occurred at 5:40 A.M., October 23, 1890. He was running train No. 4, the F.F.V. (Fast Flying Vestibule), engine No. 134. He lived five hours after being hurt. The wreck occurred three miles east of Hinton, and was caused by a landslide. Lewis Withrow, the regular fireman, was firing the engine. He had been "laying off," but, on the morning of the wreck, took his run back at Hinton. Jack Dickinson was not on the engine, but Robert Foster was. He had been working in Withrow's place, and his run being out of Clifton Forge, he was deadheading back home that morning. Neither he nor Withrow jumped into the New River: he went out of the window on the left side of the engine, that being the side away from the river, and Withrow went out of the gangway on the same side. The engine turned over on the opposite side, that is, toward the river. Withrow was badly hurt and for a long time it was thought he would not live. George Alley was six feet tall, weighed about 170 pounds, had a dark complexion, black eyes and straight black hair. At the time of the wreck his home was at Clinton Forge. The ballad and the facts agree as follows: (1) The F.F.V., train No.4, was running east on the C & O Railroad, was wrecked near Hinton by a landslide. (2) The regular engineer, George Alley, was killed. (3) The fireman saved his life by jumping from the engine. As in "John Hardy," certain fundamental facts are retained, but the details are entirely untrustworthy. (Folk Songs of the South edited by John Harrington Cox) Along came the F.F.V., the fastest on the line, Came running o'er the C & O Road, just twenty minutes behind; Came running into Sewell, lies quartered on the line, And then received strict orders for Hinton, away behind. Many a man's been murdered by the railroad, By the railroad, by the railroad; (Chorus) Many a man's been murdered by the railroad, And is sleeping in his lonesome grave When she got to Hinton, her engineer was there, Georgie Allen was his name, with blue eyes and curly hair; His fireman, Jack Dickinson, was standing by his side, Waiting for his orders, and in his cab to ride. Georgie's mother came to him with a basket on her arm, Saying, "Now, my darling son, be careful how you run; For many a man has lost his life trying to gain lost time, And if you run your engine right, you'll get there yet on time." Georgie said to his pal, "Jack, just a little more steam; I mean to pull old No. 4 the fastest ever seen; And o'er this road I mean to fly with a speed unknown to all, And when I blow for the Stock Yard Gate, they will surely hear my call." Georgie said to his pal, "Jack, a rock ahead I see; I know that death is waiting to grasp both you and me; So from this cab you must fly, your darling life to save, For I want you to be an engineer when I am sleeping in my grave." Up the road she darted; against the rock she crashed; Upside down the engine turned, upon his breast it crashed; His head upon the firebox door, the burning flames rolled o'er; "I'm glad I was born an engineer to die on the C & O Road." Georgie's mother came to him, "My Son what have you done?" "Too late, too late my doom is almost run." The doctor said to Georgie, "My son, you must lie still; Your precious life may yet be saved, if it be God's holy will." "O no, doctor, O no! I want to die so free; I want to die with my engine, old 143." His last words were, "Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee."

was seventeen, I used to know you. Well, I haven't seen you, now, since many is the short year, And the last time I seen you, you said you'd joined the Church of Jesus. But me, I remember your long red hair falling in our faces As I kissed you. Well, I want you to know, we just had to grow; I want you to know, I just had to go. And you're probably married now, house and car and all, And you turned into a grownup, female, stranger. And if I was lying near you now, I probably wouldn't be here at all. Well, we parted so hard; Me, rushing round Britain with a guitar, Making love to people That I didn't even like to see. Well, I would think of you. Yes, I mean in the six sad morning. And in the lonely midnight, Try to hold your face before me. Well, I want you to know, I just had to go; I want you to know, we just had to grow. And you're probably married now, kids and all, And you turned into a grownup, female, stranger. And if I was lying near you now, I'd just have to fall. Well, I never slept with you Though we must have made love a thousand times. For we were just young, didn't have no place to go, But in the wide hills and beside many a long water You have gathered flowers, and they do not smell for me. Well, I want you to know, I just had to go. I want you to know, we just had to grow. So it's goodbye first love, and I hope you're fine. Well, I have a sweet woman Maybe some day to have babies by me, she's pretty, Is a true friend of mine ============= 9128 ================ Dolly Parton - The First Noel lyrics The first Noel, the angel did say, Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, On a cold winter's night that was so deep.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. And by the light of that same star, Three wise men came from country far; To seek for a King was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. This star drew night to the northwest, O'er Bethlehem it took its rest; And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. Then entered in those wise men three, Full reverently upon their knee; And offered there in his presence, Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.

He could smell the flowers of Bermuda in the gale, When he died on the North Rock Shoal. Just five short hours from Bermuda, in a fine October gale, There came a cry "O there be breakers dead ahead!" From the Collier Nightingale. No sooner had the captain brought her round, Came a rending crash below. Hard on her beam ends groaning went the Nightingale, And overside her mainmast goes. "O Captain are we all for drowning?" Came the cry from all the crew. "The boats be smashed, How are we all then to be saved? They are stove in through and through." Oh, are ye brave and hearty collier men? Or are ye blind and cannot see? The captain's gig still lies before ye whole and sound. It shall carry all O' we. But when the crew was all assembled, And the gig prepared for sea, Twas seen there were but eighteen places to be manned, Nineteen mortal souls were we. But cries the captain "now do ye not delay, Nor do ye spare a thought for me, My duty is to save ye all now if I can, See ye return quick as can be." Oh there be flowers in Bermuda. Beauty lies on every hand. And there be laughter, ease, and drink for every man, But there is no joy for me. For when we reached the wretched Nightingale, Such an awful sight was plain, The captAin drowned, lay tangled in the mizzen chain, Smiling bravely beneath the sea. ============= 9133 ================ Nanci Griffith - The Flyer He was a flyer for the Air Force On a plane from San Antonio I was traveling to London He was going off to Buffalo Changing planes in Pittsburgh We got grounded in a storm Now, I would give anything To be on that flyer's arm We played cards, mostly blackjack As we sat out on the tarmac We sang songs we knew in Spanish As we both loved songs of language He'd heard me on the radio I'd seen the flyers on San Antone Now, I would give anything To have that flyer for my own God bless the flyer Who would be flying home tonight I would give anything To see that flyer, flyin' tonight He said he'd never married 'cause, his heart was in the clouds And I said I was too clumsy That I broke the wings of the loves I found He shouted out his name to me As I ran to make my flight Now, I would give anything To see that flyer, flyin' tonight One year I watched a war in London In the airport leaving London And I wondered if I'd know him If I saw his wings in motion Did I leave my heart in Pittsburgh...

My lover was a logger, there's none like him today; If you'd pour whiskey on it he could eat a bale of hay He never shaved his whiskers from off of his horny hide; He'd just drive them in with a hammer and bite them off inside. My lover came to see me upon one freezing day; He held me in his fond embrace which broke three vertebrae. He kissed me when we parted, so hard that he broke my jaw; I could not speak to tell him he'd forgot his mackinaw. I saw my lover leaving, sauntering through the snow, Going gaily homeward at forty-eight below. The weather it tried to freeze him, it tried its level best; At a hundred degrees below zero, he buttoned up his vest. It froze clean through to China, it froze to the stars above; At a thousand degrees below zero, it froze my logger love. They tried in vain to thaw him, and would you believe me, sir They made him into axeblades, to chop the Douglas fir. And so I lost my lover, and to this cafe I come, And here I wait till someone stirs his coffee with his thumb." ============= 9139 ================ The Gal I Left Behind Me I struck the trail in seventy-nine The herd strung out behind me As I jogged along my mind went back To the girl I left behind me That sweet little gal, that true little gal That gal I left behind me That sweet little gal, that true little gal That gal I left behind me If I ever get off the train And the Indians they don't find me I'll make my way straight back again To the gal I left behind me * Refrain The wind did blow, the rain did flow The hail did fall and blind me I thought of that gal, that sweet little gal That gal I'd left behind me * Refrain She wrote ahead to the place I said I was always glad to find it She says, I'm true, when you get through Ride back and you will find me * Refrain When we sold out, I took the train I know when I would find her When I got back, we had a smack And that was no gol-darned liar * Refrain ============= 9140 ================ The Galway Races Traditional As I rode down to Galway town to seek for recreation On the seventeenth of August, me mind bein' elevated, There was multitudes assembled with their tickets at the station, Me eyes began to dazzle and they're going to see the races. Chorus after every verse: To me whack fol de do, fol de dideree idle day There was passengers from Limerick and more from Tipperary, The boys from Connemara and the Clare unmarried maidens, And people from Cork city who were loyal true and faithful, They brought home the Fenian prisoners from dying in foreign nations. It's there you'll see confectioners with sugarsticks and dainties, And lozenges and oranges and lemonade and raisins, With gingerbread and spices to accommodate the ladies, And a big crubeen for thrupence to be pickin while you're able. It's there you'll see the pipers and the fiddlers competing, The nimble-footed dancers, and they trippin through the daisies, The others crying cigars and lights and bills for all the races, With the colours of the jockeys and the price and horses ages. It's there you'll see the jockeys, and they mounted on so stately, The blue, the pink, the orange and green, emblem of our nation. When the bell was rung for starting, the horses seemed impatient, I thought they never stood on ground, their speed was so amazing. There was half a million people there of all denominations, The Catholic, the Protestant, the Jew, and Presbyterian. There was yet no animosity no matter what persuasion, But fortune and hospitality inducing fresh acquaintance. ============= 9141 ================ The Gambler Don Schlitz On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere, I met up with a gambler; we were both too tired to sleep. So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness 'til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak. He said,"Son, I've made my life out of readin' people's faces, And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes. So if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces. For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice." So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow. Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light. And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression. Said, if you're gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right. Chorus: You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table. There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done. Now ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin' Is knowin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep. 'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and ev'ry hand's a loser, And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep. So when he'd finished speakin', he turned back toward the window, Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep. And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even. But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.

To pin you down, to plant your feet's a far cry from my destiny. Not even the clouds, Not even the past, Not even the hands of God could hold back from you. Dark and lonely is the ride, the devil always by my side. Though no match for what lies between the thought of you, your trust for me. Not even the sun, A bullet from a gun, No, nothing that this world could bring or Anything someone could do Could hold me back from you. No can of gold placed in my hand, the largest find, the greatest sum. Though some would say It'd ease our pain, We know that it can't be done. Not even the sun, Not even the clouds. Not even the past, No, nothing that this world can bring or anything someone can do, Could hold me back from you. Could hold me back from you. Could hold me back from you. ============= 9181 ================ The Green Back Dollar One I had a darling sweetheart And she thought the world of me Untill another man persuaded And she cares no more for me I don't want your green back dollar I don't want your watch and chain All I want is you, my darling Many a time we strolled together Down beside the deep blue sea Now in your heart you love another In my grave I'd rather be I don't want your watch and chain All I want is my big long pistol To blow out your dirty brains You said I could not marry Mama said it would never do But if you ever learn to love me I will run away with you I don't want your green back dollar I don't want your watch and chain All I want is you, my darling Won't you take me back again ============= 9182 ================ The Green Fields Of America Traditional Farewell to the groves of shillelagh and shamrock. Farewell to the girls of Old Ireland all round. May their hearts be as merry as ever I would wish them. When far away on the ocean I'm bound. Oh my Father is old, and my mother's quite feeble. To leave their own country it grieves their hearts sore. Oh the tears in great drops down their cheeks they are rolling, To think that they must die upon a foreign shore. But what matter to me where my bones may be buried, If in peace and contentment I can spend my life. Oh the green fields of Canada, they daily are blooming. It's there I'll put an end to my miseries and strife. Then it's pack up your sea stores and tarry no longer. Ten dollars a week isn't very bad pay. With no taxes nor tithes to devour up your wages, When you're on the green fields of Amerikay. The sheep run unsheared, and the land's gone to rushes. The handyman's gone and the winders of creels Away cross the ocean good journeyman tailors, And fiddlers that flaked out the old mountain reels. But I mind the time when old Ireland was flourishing, When lots of her tradesmen could work for good pay. But since our manufactories have crossed the Atlantic, It's now we must follow to Amerikay. So now to conclude and to finish my ditty, If ever friendless Irishman chances my way, With the best in the house I will treat him and welcome, At home on the green fields of Amerikay. ============= 9183 ================ The Green Fields Of France (Wille Mcbride) Eric Bogel Well, how do you do, young Willie McBride? Do you mind if I sit here down by your grave side And rest for a while 'neath the warm summer sun I've been working all day and I'm nearly done I see by your grave stone you were only nineteen When you joined the great fallen in nineteen sixteen I hope you died well and I hope you died clean Or, young Willie McBride, was is slow and obscene? Chorus: Did they beat the drum slowly, did they play the fife lowly Did they sound the dead march as they lowered you down Did the band play the Last Post and Chorus? Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest? Did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined Although you died back in nineteen sixteen In that faithful heart are you always nineteen Or are you a stranger without even a name Enclosed and forever behind the glass frame In an old photograph, torn and battered and stained And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame. Chorus The sun now it shines on the green fields of France There's a warm summer breeze that makes the red poppies dance And look how the sun shines from under the clouds There's no gas, no barbed wire, there's no guns firing now But here in this graveyard it's still no man's land The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand To man's blind indifference to his fellow man To a whole generation who were butchered and damned. Chorus Now young Willie McBride I can't help but wonder why Do all those who lie here know why they died And did they believe when they answered the cause Did they really believe that this war would end wars Well, the sorrows, the suffering, the glory, the pain The killing and dying was all done in vain For young Willie McBride it all happened again And again, and again, and again, and again. Chorus ============= 9184 ================ The Green Rolling Hills Of West Virginia Oh the green rolling hills of West Virginia Are the nearest thing to heaven that I know Though the times are sad and drear and I cannot linger here They'll keep me and never let me go. My daddy said don't ever be a miner or a miner's grave is all you'll ever own There's hard times everywhereI can't find a dime to spare These are the worst times I've ever known So I'll move away into some crowded city In some northern factory town you'll find me there Though I'll leave the past behind 'll never change my mind These troubled times are more than I can bear. Someday I'll go back to West Virginia To those green rolling hills I love so well Oh omeday I'll go home and I know I'll right the wrong And these hard times will follow me no more. ============= 9185 ================ The Greenville Trestle I remember as a boy how in wonderment and joy I'd watch the trains as they'd go by And the whistle's lonesome sound you could here from miles around As they rolled across that Greenville Trestle high. But the whistles don't sound like they used to Lately not many trains go by Hard times across the land mean no work for a railroad man And the Greenville Trestle now don't seem so high. On the riverbank I'd stand with a cane pole in my hand And watch the freight trains up against the sky With the black smoke trailing back as they moved along the track That runs across that Greenville Trestle high. When the lonesome whistles whined I'd get rambling on my mind Lord I wish they still sounded that way As I turned to head for home Lord she'd rumble low and long Toward the sunset at the close of day. ============= 9186 ================ The Incredible String Band - The Half-Remarkable Question Who moved the black castle Who moved the white queen When Gimme and Daleth where standing between? Out of the evening growing a veil Pining for the pine woods that ached for the sail There's something forgotten I want you to know The freckles of rain they are telling me so Oh, it's the old forgotten question What is it that we are part of? And what is it that we are? And an elephant madness has covered the sun The judge and the juries they play for the fun They've torn up the roses and washed all the soap And the martyr who marries them dares not elope Oh, it's the never realized question What is it that we are part of? And what is it that we are? Oh long, oh long ever yet my eyes Braved the gates enormous fire And the body folded 'round me And the person in me grew The flower and its petal The root and its grasp The earth and its bigness The breath and its gasp The mind and its motion The foot and its move The life and its pattern The heart and its love Oh, it's the half-remarkable question What is it that we are part of? And what is it that we are? ============= 9187 ================ Nickel Creek - The Hand Song The boy only wanting to give mother something And all of her roses had bloomed Looking at him as he came rushing in With him knowing her roses were doomed All she could see was some thorns buried deep And tears that he cried as she tended his wounds And she knew it was love It was what she could understand He was showing his love And that's how he hurt his hands He still remembers that night as a child On his mother's knee She held him close and she opened her Bible And quietly started to read Then seeing a picture of Jesus, he cried out "Mama, he's got some scars just like me" And he knew it was love It was what he could understand He was showing his love And that's how he hurt his hands Now the boy's grown and moved out on his own When Uncle Sam comes along A foreign affair, but our young men are there And luck had his number drawn It wasn't that long till our hero was gone He gave to a friend what he learned from the cross But they knew it was love It was one they could understand He was showing his love And that's how he hurt his hands It was one they could understand He was showing his love And that's how he hurt his hands ============= 9188 ================ The Handsome Cabin Boy Traditional It's of a pretty female as you will understand Her mind was set on rambling into a foreign land She dressed herself in man's attire and boldly did appear And she engaged with a captain to serve him for a year. The captain's lady being on board, she seemed in great joy To think that the captain had engaged such a handsome cabin boy And many's the time she cuddled and kissed, and she would have liked to toy But 'twas the captain found out the secret of the handsome cabin boy Her cheeks they were like roses, her hair was all a-curl The sailors often smiled and said, he looks just like a girl But eating the captain's biscuit, well, her color it did destroy And the waist did swell of pretty Nell, the handsome cabin boy. As through the Bay of Biscay our gallant ship did plough One night among the sailors there came an awful row They tumbled from their hammocks for their rest it did destroy They complained about the groaning of the handsome cabin boy It's doctor, dearest doctor, the cabin boy did cry My time has come, I am undone, surely I must die The doctor ran with all his might, a-smiling at the fun For to think a cabin boy could have a daughter or a son Now when the sailors heard the joke, they all began to stare The child belongs to none of us, they solemnly did swear And the lady to the captain said "My dear I wish you joy For it was either you or I betrayed the handsome cabin boy." Come all of you bold fellows and we'll drink success to trade And likewise to the cabin boy who was neither man nor maid And if the wars should rise again, us sailors to destroy Well, here's hoping for a jolly lot more like the handsome cabin boy. ============= 9189 ================ The Boxcars - The Hard Way I started out this life 40 years ago A boy free made a big man's choice Headed out to a place where few man stray Grabbed the wheel strapped in Started doin it the hard way Grew up a little different than the rest of the kids Every day I placed a new bid Higher and higher it had to be paid Beating on down, gonna do it the hard way I've worked my hands for everything I've got Cut a deal with a man that I aint forget I'll be paying that debt till they take me away I'll just keep doin it the hard way Solos Some people choose an easy route It's a short ride up but a long way down I sometimes wonder would I change it today Would I do it the same when it came...

Chorus ============= 9220 ================ The Lakes Of Pontchartrain Traditional It was one fine March morning I bid New Orleans adieu, And I took the road to Jackson town, me fortune to renew. I cursed all foreign money, no credit could I gain, Which filled me heart with longing for the lakes of Pontchartrain. I stepped on board a railroad car, beneath the morning sun. I rode the rods till evening, then laid me down again. All strangers there, no friends to me, till a dark girl towards me came, And I fell in love with the creole girl, by the lakes of Pontchartrain. I said, "Me pretty Creole girl, me money here's no good. If it weren't for the alligators, I'd sleep out in the wood." "You're welcome here, kind stranger -- our house is very plain, But we never turn the stranger out, by the lakes of Pontchartrain." She took me into her mammy's house and treated me right well. The hair upon her shoulders in jet black ringlets fell. To try to paint her beauty I'm sure 'twould be in vain. So handsome was my Creole girl by the lakes of Pontchartrain. I asked her if she'd marry me, she said that it ne'er could be, For she had got a lover, and he was far at sea. She said that she would for him, and true she would remain, Till he'd return to his Creole girl, by the lakes of Pontchartrain. So fair thee well me bonny old girl, I never may see you more.

I keep my lamp lit, to warn the sailors on their way. I'll tell a story, paint you a picture from my past. I was so happy, but joy in this life seldom lasts. I had a keeper, he helped me warn the ships at sea. We had grown closer, 'till his joy meant everything to me. And he was to marry, a girl who shone with beauty and light. And they loved each other, and with me watched the sunsets into night. Chorus: And the waves crashing around me, the sand slips out to sea. And the winds that blow remind me, of what has been, and what can never be. She'd had to leave us, my keeper he prayed for a safe return. But when the night came, the weather to a raging storm had turned. He watched her ship fight, but in vain against the wild and terrible wave. In me so helpless, as dashed against the rock she met her end. Chorus Then on the next day, my keeper found her washed up on the SHORE. He kissed her cold face, that they'd be together soon he'd swore. I saw him crying, watched as he buried her in the sand. And then he climbed my tower, and off of the edge of me he ran. Chorus I am a lighthouse, worn by the weather and the waves.

As he walked forth with Sally Brown, As he walked by the sea; An evil thought then came to him By that lonely willow tree. "Take off your gown, your golden gown. Take off your gown," said he, For though I am going to murder you I would not spoil your finery." "Then turn around, you false young man. "Turn around," said she, "For it is not meet that a youth A naked woman should see." He turned around, that false young man 'Round about turned he.

"Lie there, lie there, you false young man Lie there, lie there," said she "Six little maidens you've drownded here Go keep them company." He sank beneath the icy waves, He sank down into the sea.

If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die" I spoke not a word, although it meant my life For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me The scaffold was high and eternity near She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans In a long black veil she cries over my bones She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me ============= 9266 ================ Bill Monroe - The Long Bow [Instrumental] ============= 9267 ================ The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - The Long Hard Road (The Sharecropper's Dream) Way back in my memory there's a scene that I recall Of a little run-down cabin in the woods Where my dad never promised that our blue moon would turn gold But he laid awake nights wishin' that it would. When the world was on our radio, hard work was on our minds. We lived our day-to-day in plain dirt fashion, With ol' overalls and cotton balls all strapped across your back Man, it's hard to make believe there ain't nothing wrong. But momma kept the Bible read and daddy kept our family fed, And somewhere in between I must have grown Cause someday I was dreamin' that a song that I was singin' Takes me down the road to where I want to go. Now I know, it's a long hard road Sometimes I remember when I stay up late at night, When the sun-up came, we got up and went In the shadows of a working' day, our moonlight hours spent Singin' songs along with Gramma's radio. Now I'm beatin' down a ol' blacktop road, sleepin' in a sack, Livin' in my memories all in vain 'Cause those city lights ain't all that bright, compared to what its like To see lightning bugs go dancin' in the rain. Momma played the guitar then, and daddy made the saw blade bend, And raindrops played the tin roof like a drum. But I just kept on dreamin' that a song that I was singin' Takes me down the road to where my name is known. Now I'm gone, and its a long hard road Yes, I know, Its a long hard road. ============= 9268 ================ The Chicks - The Long Way Around My friends from high school Married their high school boyfriends Moved into houses in the same ZIP codes Where their parents live But I, I could never follow No I, I could never follow I hit the highway in a pink RV with stars on the ceiling Lived like a gypsy Six strong hands on the steering wheel I've been a long time gone now Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down But I've always found my way somehow By taking the long way Taking the long way around Taking the long way Taking the long way around I met the queen of whatever Drank with the Irish and smoked with the hippies Moved with the shakers Wouldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to No I, I could never follow No I, I could never follow It's been two long years now Since the top of the world came crashing down And I'm getting' it back on the road now But I'm taking the long way Taking the long way around I'm taking the long way Taking the long way around Oh I just take my time, I won't lie down And take the long way around Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself I opened my mouth and I heard myself It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself Guess I could have made it easier on myself But I, I could never follow No I, I could never follow Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down If you ever want to find me I can still be found Taking the long way Taking the long way around Taking the long way Taking the long way around Taking the long way Taking the long way around Taking the long way Taking the long way around Taking the long way Taking the long way around Taking the long way Taking the long way around ============= 9269 ================ The Longer You Wait The longer you wait to leave me The longer I'll hurt when you're gone And the longer it takes you to break my heart The longer the pain lingers on How long will you prolong my misery Wish I could leave on my own Cause the longer you wait to leave me The longer I'll hurt when you're gone We both knew that you never loved me I lied to myself from the start And we both knew that some day you'd leave me And to know just tears me apart ============= 9270 ================ Dolly Parton - The Lord Is My Shepherd lyrics THE LORD ID MY SHEPHERED , THE LORD IS MY SHEPHED MY FRIEND AND HELPER, I SHALL NOT WANT HE'S THERE TO GUIDE ME , STANDING BESIDE ME THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT WANT SPOKEN:THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT WANT HE MAKETH ME TO LIE IN GREEN PASTURES HE LEADETH ME BESIDE STILL WATERS HE RESTORETH MY SOUL {I SHALL NOT WANT...} HE LEADETH ME IN THE PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR HIS NAME' SAKE AND YEA, THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH.

The skipper, he'd been drinking and the Mate, he felt no pain. Too close to Three Mile Rock, and she was dealt her mortal blow, And the Mary Ellen Carter settled low. There were five of us aboard her when she finally was awash. We'd worked like hell to save her, all heedless of the cost. And the groan she gave as she went down, it caused us to proclaim That the Mary Ellen Carter would rise again. Well, the owners wrote her off; not a nickel would they spend. She gave twenty years of service, boys, then met her sorry end. But insurance paid the loss to them, they let her rest below. Then they laughed at us and said we had to go. But we talked of her all winter, some days around the clock, For she's worth a quarter million, afloat and at the dock. And with every jar that hit the bar, we swore we would remain And make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again. Rise again, rise again, that her name not be lost To the knowledge of men. Those who loved her best and were with her till the end Will make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again. All spring, now, we've been with her on a barge lent by a friend. Three dives a day in hard hat suit and twice I've had the bends. Thank God it's only sixty feet and the currents here are slow Or I'd never have the strength to go below. But we've patched her rents, stopped her vents, dogged hatch and porthole down. Put cables to her, 'fore and aft and birded her around. Tomorrow, noon, we hit the air and then take up the strain. And watch the Mary Ellen Carter Rise Again. For we couldn't leave her there, you see, to crumble into scale. She'd saved our lives so many times, living through the gale And the laughing, drunken rats who left her to a sorry grave They won't be laughing in another day. . . And you, to whom adversity has dealt the final blow With smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go Turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain And like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again. Rise again, rise again - though your heart it be broken And life about to end No matter what you've lost, be it a home, a love, a friend. Like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again. ============= 9294 ================ Dolly Parton - The Master's Hand lyrics "Twas battered and scared, and the auctioneer Thought it scarcely worth his while To waste much time on the old violin, But he held it up with a smile. "What am I bidden, good folks," he cried, "Who'll start bidding for me? A dollar, a dollar - now who"ll make it two _ Two dollars, and who"ll make it three? "Three dollars once, three dollars twice, Going for three". . . but no! From the room far back a gray-haired man Came forward and picked up the bow; Then wiping the dust from the old violin, And tightening up the strings, He played a melody,pure and sweet, As sweet as an angel sings. The music ceased and the auctioneer With a voice that was quiet and low, Said: "What am I bidden for the old violin?" And he held it up with the bow; "A thousand dollars - and who'll make it two? Two thousand - and who'll make it three? Three thousand once, three thousand twice And going - and gone," said he. The people cheered, but some of them cried, "We do not quite understand - What changed its worth?" The man replied: "The touch of the masters hand." And many a man with life out of tune, And battered and torn with sin, Is auctioned cheap to a thoughtless crowd. Much like the old violin. A "mess of pottage," a glass of wine, A game and he travels on, He's going once, and going twice - He's going - and almost gone! But the MASTER comes, and the foolish crowd, Never can quite understand, The worth of a soul, and the change that's wrought By the touch of the MASTER'S hand. ============= 9295 ================ Richard Thompson - The May Day Psalter Give me simple for my pleasure Charity for my success Give me wisdom and misfortune Heart's ease for my distress When men boast or make me tremble When men mock or make me weak Give me veils to cover over Secrets that my heart may keep Sharpen up my axe to shatter King, tyrant, fool, or fake Let me love to overflowing Flooding till my banks do break Wash me like a rock in a river Cover up my tracks with rain Move me like a wave on the ocean Risen once never rise again ============= 9296 ================ Richard Thompson - The May Queen Lyrics Didn't you see it coming, if you loved her that well?

Oh, that old rugged Cross so despised by the world, Has a wondrous attraction for me, For the dear Lamb of God, left his Glory above, To bear it to dark Calvary. So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down, I will cling to the old rugged Cross, And exchange it some day for a crown. In the old rugged Cross, stain'd with blood so divine, A wondrous beauty I see, For the dear Lamb of God, left his Glory above, To pardon and sanctify me. So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down, I will cling to the old rugged Cross, And exchange it some day for a crown. To the old rugged Cross, I will ever be true, Its shame and reproach gladly bear, Then He'll call me some day to my home far away, Where his glory forever I'll share. So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down, I will cling to the old rugged Cross, And exchange it some day for a crown. ============= 9342 ================ The Old Triangle (Royal Canal) Brendan Behan A hungry feeling came o'er me stealing And the mice were squealing in my prison cell Chorus (after every verse): And the old triangle goes jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal To begin the morning the warder's bawling "Get out of bed and clean up your cell" On a fine spring evening the lad lay dreaming With the seagulls beaming high above the wall The screw was peeping and the lad was sleeping While he lay weeping for his gal Sal In the female prison are seventy women And it's so with them that I would like to dwell The day was dying and the wind was sighing As I lay crying in my prison cell ============= 9343 ================ Bill Monroe - The Old, Old House There's an old old house that once was a mansion On a hill overlookin' the own Where time's left a wreck where once was a beauty And soon the old house will tumble down When the leaves begin to fall in the autumn And the raindrops drip from the trees There's an old old man who walks in the garden And his head is bowed in memory.

She had a reputation, as a girl who'd been around. On Main street after midnight, a brand new pack of cigs, A fresh one hanging from her lips, a beer between her legs. She'd ride down to the river, and meet with all her friends. The road goes on forever, and the party never ends. Sonny was a loner, he was older than the rest. He was goin' in the Navy, but he couldn't pass the test. So he hung around town, he sold a little pot. The law caught wind of Sonny, and one day he got caught. But he was back in business, when they set him free again. The road goes on forever, and the party never ends. Sonny's playing eight-ball, in the joint where Sherry works When some drunken out-of-towner, put his hand up Sherry's skirt. Sonny took his pool cue, laid the drunk out on the floor. Stuffed a dollar in her tip jar, walked on out the door. She's running right behind him, reaching for his hand. The road goes on forever and the party never ends. They jumped into his pickup, Sonny jammed it down in gear. Sonny looked at Sherry, said "Let's get on out of here." The stars were high above them, the moon was in the east. The sun was setting on them, when they reached Miami Beach. They got a hotel by the water, and a quart of Bombay Gin. The road goes on forever, the party never ends. They soon ran out of money, but Sonny knew a man, Who knew some Cuban refugees, who dealt in contraband. Sonny met the Cubans, at a house just off the route, With a briefcase full of money, a pistol in his boot. The cards were on the table, when the law came bustin' in. The road goes on forever and the party never ends. The Cubans grabbed the goodies, and Sonny grabbed a jack, He broke the bathroom window, and climbed on out the back. Sherry drove the pickup, through the alley on the side, Where a lawman tackled Sonny, and was reading him his rights. She stepped out in the alley, with a single shot four-ten The road goes on forever and the party never ends. They left the lawman lying, they made their get-away. Got back to the motel, just before the break of day. Sonny gave her all the money, and he blew her a little kiss. "If they ask you how this happened, say I forced you into this." She watched him as his tail lights, disappeared around the bend. The road goes on forever, the party never ends. Well it's main street after midnight, just like it was before, Twenty-one months later, at the local grocery store. Sherry buys a paper, and a cold six-pack of beer. The headlines readin' Sonny is going to the chair. She pulls back onto mainstreet, in her new Mercedes Benz. The road goes on forever, and the party never ends! ============= 9393 ================ Alison Krauss - The Road Is A Lover (bob lucas/belly boy music, bmi) I met a man Traveling down the road He looked me in the eye And he gave me a ring And he gave me a rose And he told me some gypsy lies Chorus: The road is a lover You never recover Not now or any time soon My head starts to spin When i think where i've been Playin' twin to an old fiddle tune, oh As the wind chases after the moon Through the kindness Shown me that day I gave him this melody And we sang in duet `neath the stars in the sky And the shadows of dancing trees Chorus ============= 9394 ================ The Road To The Isles Traditional A far croonin' is calling me away, As step I wi' me cromac on the road. The blue islands are putting love on me, As step I wi' the sunlight for me load. Chorus: Sure by Tummel and Loch Rannoch and Loch Aber I will go, By heather tracks wi' heaven in their wiles. If its thinking in your inner heart, a blaggards in me step, Sure you've never smelt the tangle of the Isles Shiel Water, the track is to the west, By Aillort and by Morar to the sea. The cool cresses I am thinking for to pluck, And bracken for a wink on mother's knee. The blue islands are putting love on me, Their laughter puts the leap upon the lame, The blue, blue islands from the Skerries to the Lees, Wi' heather honey taste upon each name. ============= 9395 ================ Vince Gill - The Rock of Your Love I lose myself in this place Strangest smile on my face The hand of blessing or beginner's luck Here I stand on the rock of your love Somethin' steady sure feels good I always knew somehow it would I've traded chains for the wings of a dove Standin' on the rock of your love Let the storm clouds roll Let the rain flood my soul I'll still be here when the trouble's done Standin' on the rock of your love If this ol' world should fade away If I've got you I ain't afraid I will face whatever comes Standin' on the rock of your love Let the storm clouds roll Let the rain flood my soul I'll still be here when the trouble's done Standin' on the rock of your love I'll still be here when the trouble's done Standin' on the rock of your love ============= 9396 ================ The Rolling Mills Of New Jersey John Roberts and Tony Barrand Chorus: When I die, bury me low, Where I can here the petroleum flow. A sweeter sound I never did know, The Rolling Mills of New Jersey. In Hoboken, there will be Trash as far as the eye can see, Enough for you, enough for me, The garbage cans of New Jersey. Chorus Down in Trenton, there is a bar, Where the bums come from near and far. They come by truck, they come by car, The lousy bums of New Jersey. Chorus When first I started to roam, I traveled far away from Bayonne. Then I sat down and wrote this poem. I wrote an ode to New Jersey.

blacktop seven miles Down by the old country school I went to as a child Two miles down a gravel road I could see the proud old home A tribute to a way of life that's almost come and gone The roots of

perished in the fire You could hear those children scremaming While the flames were rolling high Daddy, come and get your babies Will you stand and let us die All the fathers they were trying To their little ones to go But the brave old fellows perished In the chaos from the show LIttle children they were trampled In that mighty rolling flame Others on that night were screaming Death was dealing

Two thousand! And who'll make it three? Three thousand once; three thousand, twice; And going, and gone! said he. The people cheered and some of them cried We do not understand What changed its worth? Swift came the reply: The touch of the master's hand. And many a man with life out of tune And battered and scattered with sin Is auctioned cheap to the thoughtless crowd Much like the old violin.

I heard his ax beyond the hill and now I'm bound away. Chorus: Fiddle and a bow in the firelight's glow. Can't you hear that lonesome sound? I leave behind my trouble in mind, Go the whole world round. Now some men like the city life, some men crave the town, I'm bound away for the Arkansas woods, where I'll settle down. The grey squirrel leaves when the red squirrel comes, the eagle nests alone. A hundred miles from a wagon track is where I'll make my home.

I'll pack my goods for the lonesome woods, and there I'll settle down. ============= 9497 ================ Marty Stuart - The Wild One Give me my cycle and a star-filled sky above And a good lookin' woman with a heart full of love I'll go to any honky tonk in any old town 'Cause I am the wild one and I'll never settle down I am the wild one, I am the wild one I am the wild one, I'll never settle down I've got a gal in every town who claims she loves me so I love 'em and leave 'em and want them all to know That when I hear that wild wind a blowin' down the road I know I'll have to travel fast to leave without a load I am the wild one, I am the wild one I am the wild one, I'll never settle down I am the wild one, I believe in travelin' light Just me and my cycle speeding through the night I love a lot of women and I take them all around But I am the wild one, I'll settle down I am the wild one, I am the wild one I am the wild one, I'll never settle down Never settle down, I'll never settle down ============= 9498 ================ The Stanley Brothers - The Wild Side of Life Well, you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you You asked me not to call you on the phone There's something I've been waiting for to tell you So I wrote it in the words of this song You never knew there were honky tonk angels Or you might have known I'd never make a wife You walked out on the only one who ever loved you So I went back to the wild side of life Now the glamor of the good life always lead me To the places where the wild liquor flows I tried to be your one and only angel But I'm not that kind of angel, heaven knows I cried so hard the day you went and left me 'Cause some things you said, they cut me like a knife What you wanted was another kind of angel And you should be back to the wild side of life No, well, I guess I'm just a honky tonk angel I might have known I'd never make a wife Well, you left the only one who ever loved you And I'm back here on the wild side of life I'm only a honky tonk angel I might have known I'd never make a wife You walked out on the only one who ever loved you And you left me here on the wild side of life ============= 9499 ================ Nanci Griffith - The Wing and the Wheel The wing and the wheel, they carry things away Whether it's me that does the leavin or the love that flies away The moon outside my window looks so lonely tonight Oh, there's a chunk out of it's middle, big enough for an old fool to hide Where are all the dreamers, that I used know?

I'm not asking what town you know what I mean ============= 9507 ================ The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald Gordon Lightfoot The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down of the big lake they called "Gitche Gumee." The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead when the skies of November turn gloomy. With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty, that good ship and true was a bone to be chewed when the "Gales of November" came early. The ship was the pride of the American side coming back from some mill in Wisconsin. As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most with a crew and good captain well seasoned, concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms when they left fully loaded for Cleveland. And later that night when the ship's bell rang, could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'? The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound and a wave broke over the railing. And ev'ry man knew, as the captain did too 'twas the witch of November come stealin'. The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait when the Gales of November came slashin'. When afternoon came it was freezin' rain in the face of a hurricane west wind. When suppertime came the old cook came on deck sayin'. "Fellas, it's too rough t'feed ya." At seven P.M. a main hatchway caved in; he said, "Fellas, it's bin good t'know ya!" The captain wired in he had water comin' in and the good ship and crew was in peril. And later that night when 'is lights went outta sight came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Does any one know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours? The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay if they'd put fifteen more miles behind 'er. They might have split up or they might have capsized; they may have broke deep and took water. And all that remains is the faces and the names of the wives and the sons and the daughters. Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings in the rooms of her ice-water mansion. Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams; the islands and bays are for sportsmen. And farther below Lake Ontario takes in what Lake Erie can send her, And the iron boats go as the mariners all know with the Gales of November remembered. In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed, in the "Maritime Sailors' Cathedral." The church bell chimed 'til it rang twenty-nine times for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald. The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down of the big lake they call "Gitche Gumee." "Superior," they said, "never gives up her dead when the gales of November come early!" ============= 9508 ================ The Wreck Of The Old 97 Well, they gave him his orders at Monroe, Virginia Saying Steve you are way behind time This is not thirty eight, but it's old ninety seven You must put her into Danville on time He turned and said to his black greasy fireman Just shovel on a little more coal And when we cross the White Oak Mountain You can watch old ninety seven roll It's a mighty rough road from lynchburg to Daville On a line on a three mile grade It was on this grade that he lost his average You can see what a jump he made He was going down the grade makin' ninety miles an hour When his whistle broke into a scream They found him in the wreck with his hand on the throttle He was scalded to death by the steam Now ladies, you must take warning From this time now on learn Never speak harsh words to your true loving husband He may leave you and never return ============= 9509 ================ Doc Watson - The Wreck of the Old Number Nine On a cold winter night Not a star was in sight An' the north wind came Howlin' down the line With his sweetheart, so dear Stood a brave engineer With his orders to pull ole number nine She kissed him goodbye With tears in his eyes An' a joy in her heart She couldn't hide For the whole world was bright When she told him that night Tomorrow she'd be his blushin' bride As the wheels hummed the song As the train rolled along An' the black smoke come pourin' from the stack As the headlight a gleam Seemed to brighten' his dream For tomorrow he'd be comin' back He speed up the hill But his brave head was still For the headlight was shining in his face He whispered a prayer As he threw on the air For he knew it would be his final race In the wreck he was found Lying there on the ground An' he ask them to raise his weary head As his breath slowla went This message he sent To the maiden who thought that they'd be wed Have a little white home That I bought for our own Where I'd dreamed we'd be happy, bye an' bye But I leave it to you For I know you'll be true Till we meet at the Golden Gate, goodbye ============= 9510 ================ The Wreck On The Highway Who did you say it was, brother Who was it, fell by the way When whiskey and blood run together Did you hear anyone pray I didn't hear nobody pray dear brother I didn't hear nobody pray I heard the crash on the highway But I didn't hear nobody pray When I heard the crash on the highway I knew what it was from the start I went to the scene of destruction And a picture was stmped on my heart * Refrain There was whiskey and blood all together Mixed with glass where they lay Death laid her hand in destruction But I didn't hear nobody pray * Refrain I wish I could change this sad story That I am now telling you But there is no way I can change it For somebody's life is now through * Refrain This soul has been called by the Master They died in the crash on the way And I heard the groans of the dying But I didn't hear nobody pray * Refrain ============= 9511 ================ Richard Thompson - The Wrong Heartbeat Don't think my love is something that you can play with I'm not the one to spend the time of day with You learn to hide love, you lock it up or find it gone You think you need me, you think you read me From the beating of my heart But you're listening to the wrong heartbeat Oh you're listening to the wrong heartbeat You're listening to the wrong heartbeat My love is strong If you should see a tear, you won't see many If you should hear me sigh, it's not for any If you should greet me as I am walking along You only want to see just the shell of me You don't know the other part Well, you're listening to the wrong heartbeat Ah, listening to the wrong heartbeat I said, you're listening to the wrong heartbeat My love is strong Oh you're listening to the wrong heartbeat Oh listening to the wrong heartbeat Oh listening to the wrong heartbeat My love is strong Don't throw your secrets where men will steal them You got to hide them, you got to seal them No matter what you try, you'll never take my love from me And if you might think that you can move me From the beating of my heart Oh you're listening to the wrong heartbeat Ah, listening to the wrong heartbeat You're listening to the wrong heartbeat My love is strong Oh yes you're listening to the wrong heartbeat You're listening to the wrong heartbeat You're listening to the wrong heartbeat My love is strong You're, you're, you're listening to the wrong heartbeat Oh listening to the wrong heartbeat Oh you're listening to the wrong heartbeat My love is strong ============= 9512 ================ Chris Thile - The Wrong Idea I don't want to introduce you to my friends, 'cause I think they'll get the wrong idea. You're so fetching in that dress - They'll think we have messed around And though I'll tell them otherwise, I was gone all night with you. What most people do will be running through their heads. They don't need to see that I met a pretty girl last night. I'm 19, and I've kissed 2 girls that's all. You're 16, and you're one... Is that against the law? I never thought that it would come to this. My reputation will be missed By all the dads who introduce me to their girls saying "I have got a great idea! You're so different from most guys." Now that's just a wishful like, because I'm not different anymore- A revolving door you came through. And though you're first - even if you're last - it won't change That I'm not me, 'cause I met a pretty girl last night. I guess I have to introduce you to my friends, but I know they'll get the wrong idea. ============= 9513 ================ The Year That Clayton Delaney Died Tom T. Hall I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died. They said for the last two weeks that he suffered and cried. It made a big impression on me, although I was a barefoot kid. They said he got religion at the end and I'm glad that he did. Clayton was the best guitar picker in our town. I thought he was a hero and I used to follow Clayton around. I often wondered why Clayton, who seemed so good to me, Never took his guitar and made it down in Tenn-o-see. Well, Daddy said he drank a lot, but I could never understand. I knew he used to pick up in Ohio with a five-piece band. Clayton used to tell me, "Son you better put that old guitar away. There ain't no money in it, it'll lead you to an early grave.". I guess if I'd admit it, Clayton taught me how to drink booze. I can see him half-stoned a-pickin' out the lovesick blues. When Clayton died I made him a promise, I was gonna carry on somehow. I'd give a hundred dollars if he could only see me now. I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died. Nobody ever knew it but I went out in the woods and I cried. Well, I know there's a lotta big preachers that know a lot more than I do, But it could be that the good Lord likes a little pickin' too. Yeah, I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died. ============= 9514 ================ The Yellow Snake Someone you saw Stretched sleeping on the sand Five withered violets cradled in his hand His dreams are so loud calling in your ear The yellow snake coils from the water And all is refreshed far and near ============= 9515 ================ Theme From Halloween Don Reno Writer/s: ELVIS COSTELLO, PADDY MOLONEY If on every ocean the ship is a throne And for each mast cut down another sapling is grown Then I could believe that I'm bound to find A better life than I left behind But as you ascend the ladder Look out below where you tread For the colors bled as they overflowed Red, white and blue Green, white and gold So I had to leave from my country of birth As for each child grown tall Another lies in the earth And for every rail we laid in the loam There's a thousand miles of the long journey home But as you ascend the ladder Look out below where you tread For the colors bled as they overflowed Red, white and blue Green, white and gold ============= 9516 ================ Theme From The Beverly Hillbillies Lester Flatt and Earl Scuggs Come and listen to my story 'Bout a man named jed A poor mountaineer, Barely kept his family fed.

Yes, just about thirty thousand pounds (scream it again, John). He passed a sign that he should have seen, saying "shift to low gear, a fifty dollar fine my friend." He was thinking perhaps about the warm-breathed woman who was waiting at the journey's end. He started down the two mile drop, the curving road that wound from the top of the hill. He was pushing on through the shortening miles that ran down to the depot. Just a few more miles to go, then he'd go home and have her ease his long, cramped day away. and the smell of thirty thousand pounds of bananas. Yes the smell of thirty thousand pounds of bananas. He was picking speed as the city spread its twinkling lights below him. But he paid no heed as the shivering thoughts of the nights delights went through him. His foot nudged the brakes to slow him down. But the pedal floored easy without a sound. He said "Christ!" It was funny how he had named the only man who could save him now. He was trapped inside a dead-end hellslide, riding on his fear-hunched back was every one of those yellow green I'm telling you thirty thousand pounds of bananas.

And he said "God, make it a dream!" as he rode his last ride down. And he said "God, make it a dream!" as he rode his last ride down. And he sideswiped nineteen neat parked cars, clipped off thirteen telephone poles, hit two houses, bruised eight trees, and Blue-Crossed seven people. it was then he lost his head, not to mention an arm or two before he stopped. And he slid for four hundred yards along the hill that leads into Scranton, Pennsylvania. All those thirty thousand pounds of bananas. You know the man who told me about it on the bus, as it went up the hill out of Scranton, Pennsylvania, he shrugged his shoulders, he shook his head, and he said (and this is exactly what he said) "Boy that sure must've been something.

We sit beside bridges and walk beside fountains, And catch the wild fishes that swim in the stream. Time passes slow when you're lost in a dream. Once I had a sweetheart, she was fine and good-lookin'. We sat in her kitchen while her mama was cookin' And gazed out the window to the stars high above. Time passes slow when you're searchin' for love. Ain't no reason to go in a wagon to town, Ain't no reason to go to the fair. Ain't no reason to go up, ain't no reason to go down, Ain't no reason to go anywhere. Time passes slowly up here in the daylight. We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right, Like the red rose of summer that blooms in the day, Time passes slowly and fades away. ============= 9726 ================ Dwight Yoakam - Time Spent Missing You Nighttime gets longer each mornin' I wake up With sunlight that's long over due I start makin' plans for having thoughts that might take up Some of the time that I'll spend missing you.

Give her a little time, I'd be on her mind And suddenly she'd wake up. But today if you listen, Softly off in the distance, Somewhere 'cross town, you can hear the sound Of wedding bells ringing. And there's bird seed on the concrete, And she's waving goodbye And they're driving away And everybody cheerin' them on as the taillights fade Yeah she's really gone, I thought someday that would be me But now she's driving away in that limousine And I'm holdin' on Like a tin can on a string. Somewhere in my mind, I'm the one by her side. In that backseat, talkin' 'bout the beach And that honeymoon flight.

Well, he stopped to watch a truck that was parking next door At the home of his tiny play mate. Then he saw his Daddy watchin' too As the men swiftly walked to the Carter's door. He knew they were strangers that came from the town, Men he had never seen before. They soon went to work when he heard his Daddy say "Our neighbours are moving today." "Oh no!" he cried, "dear God, don't let it be! They can't take my sweetheart away!" "I know Dad you don't understand How a heart so young could conceive a plan. I'm only seven now, but it's just like you say, Daddy, some day I'll be a man." "The man who owns the farm where your play mates do live, He told me it'd have to be this way. For winter time has come, and the work is all done, That's why they are moving today." "Let us buy the farm so they can stay! And give him all the toys that dear Santa gave! And give him all my pennies in my little piggy bank! Pennies that my darlin' helped me save."... ============= 9738 ================ Tired of Losing You Recorded by Rhonda Vincent and Feller and Hill Written by Tom T.

These hearts beat for the land, The sky and things that go unseen. In due time may we come to know And see these things we do not see. My love she walks a tight rope. If she falls, she'll fly, I know this to be true. But if she reaches the other side, she'll climb even higher Than the crescent moon. We are the dreams and walk right through The stories told as such A wisdom gained of mirth and loss, Of pain and joy and lust. We are the lungs, we breathe for dance, For trance and mystery. We are the breath, we take it in And let it go as we please. This heart's a steam engine baby, Love is you. We sing our songs in the midst of pain And break on down the walls. Sometimes we rise above And look out across it all Sometimes we lose the plot, And it's for this we pray, In a way that was never taught, Somehow it will be ok. This heart's A steam engine Baby, Love is You. ============= 9744 ================ Keith Whitley - To Be Loved by a Woman I wonder if you realize How good it is to be loved by a woman A woman you can count on Even when she knows you've done her wrong The one who worships you in spite of that old rowdy ground That you used to walk on Who'll stay awake to give you help And thank the Lord you finally made it home Well, it's that woman there behind you The one who makes you who you are She's not the President's first lady She ain't no motion picture star But she's the one who keeps you goin' When you'd swear hope is gone She's the mother of your children Thank God she won't leave you alone So if your thinkin' how you'd like To shuck it all and get down on the highway Well, buddy let me tell you There ain't nothing left but leaving from then on You better wrap her in your arms And strap some good old fashioned love and honor Or else you'll stagger in some night And find an empty house that was your home But it's that woman there behind you The one who makes you who you are She's not the president's first lady She ain't no motion picture star But she's the one who keeps you goin' When you'd swear, hope was gone She's the mother of your children Thank God she won't leave you alone ============= 9745 ================ Emmylou Harris -

Where's the answer that I came looking for? Surely she'll be lying in wait for me. Sometimes I'm not sure what I'm doing, I'm riding alone in the night, searchin' hard for the answer, searchin' for the light. But it's too late now, from the highway streets, and avenues but it's too late now, am I doing what I'm supposed to do? It's a long and winding road that's led me this far from my home, I can turn on my heels, but I choose to move on. (I'm) searchin' hard for the answers, lord, the questions aren't coming out right, all you know is that darkness you pray that someday you just might.... Now it seems like another uneventful day, (I) never needed to stray so far. I just opened up my eyes, looked around and realized that everything I'd ever wanted was right it front of me. And now my days are not different, not different from any I've known, sometimes you've gotta hit the road to wind up back home But it's too late now to convince me ever again to go, but it's too late now, where I was coming from is where I belong *they haven't released this song on a studio album yet, so each live version is a little bit different* ============= 9777 ================ Richard Thompson - Too Late to Come Fishing When you were a vixen and I was a chump You looked at me like I crawled from a swamp Now things have a different complexion I'm the object of your affection Much as I don't doubt your expertise Please find yourself another hunk to squeeze It's too late to come fishing It's too late to come fishing It's too late, and the fish don't like your bait Tin Pan Ellie better find your way home I know I had the flair, the clothes Made you look right down your nose But now you want to make a new start I'm so touched by your change of heart But my diary's fit to overflow Find yourself another gigolo I've seen your work in that TV sketch Playing poison women is hardly a stretch And you were type-cast as the Stone Age charmer In that Darwin docudrama I'd say our time has all but disappeared Just like the shine on your fabulous career ============= 9778 ================ Alison Krauss - Too Late to Cry Lyrics Sitting all alone with my whisky on ice, I wonder why he's not with me tonight. If the rain be on tonight then I won't sleep. I'm haunted by this loneliness I keep. And it's too late to cry cause we left it all behind, Too late to cry cause there's nothing left defied. You won't get more than you're living for, And it's too late to cry tonight. It doesn't seem much point in us carrying on, We pretend to cry but the feelings are gone. I hear the death man has lost his mate, The silence that follows him tells me about our fate. And it's too late to cry cause we left it all behind, Too late to cry cause there's nothing left defied. You won't get more than you're living for, And it's too late to cry tonight. Empty glass before me tells the story in my eyes, The dimness it has giving me won't let me realize. That love is more or less the state of mind we go through, with no guarantee to what it holds me or you. And it's too late to cry cause we left it all behind, Too late to cry cause there's nothing left defied. You won't get more than you're living for, And it's too late to cry tonight. ============= 9779 ================ Too Late To Cry Come take me by my trembling hand And hold me close to you And think of all the days gone by The day when love was true Come go with me to the old depot And wave your hand good-bye I know I've done you wrong sweetheart But now it's too late to cry Sweetheart of mine, I hate to go And leave you here all alone May God protect and keep you Wherever you may roam ============= 9780 ================ Too Late To Walk The Floor All last night I sat and cried I cried the night before If that gal don't come back tonight I'll cry somemore It's too late to walk the floor It's too late to cry It's too late to worry About tear drops in my eyes I done her wrong I know I did I cheated on the sly She found out and now she's gone I walk the floor and cry Now I can't stand this loneliness four walls and the floor Please come back darlin' I can't stand this any more ============= 9781 ================ Dolly Parton - Too Lonely Too Long lyrics (Dolly Parton) No matter how you're tempted Don't say yes to me Don't make this night as smooth to lead me on It's just that I'm so lonely and I need someone I've been too lonely too long Oh please be strong enough to refuse me Before I let myself do something wrong For down inside I'm not that kind of woman I've been too lonely too long Oh please don't take advantage of the situation For I'm afraid that I'm too weak to resist temptation When you're used to being loved It's hard to live alone I've been too lonely too long I've been too lonely too long ============= 9782 ================ Too Many Bridges to Cross Over Recorded by Merle Haggard Written by Dallas Frazier C Am C Be close to me but please don't ever love me F G7 Don't let your feelings carry you that far C F Dm I'll hold you in my arms buy you clothes and pretty charms C G7 C And I'll give you everything except my love F C Because there's too many bridges to cross over F G7 Too many places I ain't been C F C Yeah there's too many fields of temptin' clover Dm G7 C Like an eagle I'm a prisoner of the wind Am C Well travelin' was the nickname of my papa F G7 And momma said he died 'cause he slowed down C Keep in mind these things I'm sayin' F Dm Cause I ain't got the time for stayin' C G7 C Won't be long until my shoes touch distant ground Repeat #2 ============= 9783 ================ Too Much Love Too much sorrow, too much pain Too many reasons, not to go back again Leaving without her, it's too much to bear When we're together, too much nothing to share Too much love, I've never seen Too much love, I don't know what it means Lot enough caring, too many lies Sooner or later, one too many devidies I've got no reason, for hanging around And all my possessions, start to waiting me down Too much love, I've never known Too much love, I need some of my own ============= 9784 ================ Too Much Mountain Dew Too much Mountain dew Too much Mountain dew Dewey left a-drinking Too much Mountain dew Now Dewey left this morning Feeling oh so fine With a jug in one hand Drinking on his mind Now the hottest sun was shining While Dewey laid in the shade Drinking from a bottle Home brew that he made Now drinking was a weakness That he couldn't hide Had one drink too many Poor old Dewey died ============= 9785 ================ Alan Jackson - Too Much Of A Good Thing lyrics Smiles in the morning, as warm as sunshine Kisses when I lay down at night And two loving arms to console me I should be scared, it's so right Too much of a good thing, is a good thing Feelings like this cant be wrong Too much of a good thing, is a good thing We got a good thing going on You look in my eyes and see my thinking I know when you're happy, when you're sad Some would say, it's too perfect I don't think what we have is so bad Too much of a good thing, is a good thing Feelings like this cant be wrong Too much of a good thing, is a good thing We got a good thing going on We got a good thing going on ============= 9786 ================ Too Much Of Nothing Bob Dylan Too much of nothing Can make a man ill at ease One man's temper might rise While another man's temper might freeze In the day of confession We cannot mock a soul Oh, when there's too much of nothing No one has control.

I'm a tear of joy she couldn't carry. She was so happy she'd just gotten married. I was on her cheek when she wiped me away with her glove. I could tell on the look on her face, she didn't need me. So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea." The other tear said, "We've got a connection. I'm a tear of sorrow born of rejection. I'm from the sad brown eyes of her old flame. She told him they would be life long companions, Left him with questions and not enough answers. I was on his cheek as he stood there callin' her name. I could tell he had a lot of my friends for company. So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea." Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger tonight, Two more teardrops somebody cried, One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue. The tide goes out and the tide comes in, And someday there'll be teardrops again, Released in a moment of pleasure or a moment of pain. Then they'll drift on down and ride to the sea again. Last night I sat in the waiting room, The nurse walked in and gave me the news, It's a baby girl and they're both fine. An old man sittin' not ten feet away, Just lost his wife, and he said to me, "You've got a brand new angel and I've lost mine. I guess the good lord givedth and the good lord taketh away." And we both wiped a teardrop from our face. Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger tonight, Two more teardrops somebody cried, One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue. The tide goes out and the tide comes in, A whole new circle of life begins, Where tears are a part of the pleasure, and part of the pain. Till they drift on down and ride to the sea again. ============= 9948 ================ Richard Thompson - Two-Faced Love Two-faced love will make me doubt my mind Two-faced love will keep me paralyzed Two-faced love, I pace the room at night Why can't I get you off my mind?

And they'd run around free while the world was being born, And the loveliest of all was the Unicorn. There was green alligators and long-necked geese, Hump back camels and some chimpanzees, Cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born The loveliest of all was the Unicorn. But the Lord seen some sinnin' and it caused Him pain He says, "Stand back, I'm gonna make it rain. So hey, Brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do... Go and build me a floating zoo, And you take two alligators and a couple of geese, Two hump backed camels and two chimpanzees, Two cats, two rats, two elephants, but sure as you're born, Noah, don't you forget my unicorns." Now Noah was there and he answered the callin', And he finished up the ark just as the rain started fallin'. Then he marched in the animals two by two, And he sung out as they came through... "Hey Lord, I got you two alligators and a couple of geese, Two hump backed camels and two chimpanzees, Two cats, two rats, two elephants, but sure as you're born, Lord, I just don't see your unicorns." Well, Noah looked out through the drivin' rain, But the unicorns were hidin', playin' silly games. They were kickin' and a-splashin' while the rain was pourin' -- Oh, them foolish unicorns. Then the ducks started duckin' and the snakes started snakin', And the elephants started elephantin' and the boat started shakin', The mice started squeakin' and the lions started roarin', And everyone's aboard but them unicorns. I mean the two alligators and a couple of geese, The hump back camels and the chimpanzees, Noah cried, "Close the door 'cause the rain is pourin', And we just can't wait for them unicorns." And then the ark started movin', it drifted with the tide. And the unicorns looked up from the rocks and cried. And the water came down and sort of floated them away. That's why you've never seen a unicorn to this day. You'll see a lot of alligators and a whole mess of geese, You'll see hump back camels and chimpanzees, you'll see cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born You're never gonna see no unicorn. ============= 9976 ================ Richard Thompson - Uninhabited Man Only a misdirected dart At an unprotected heart I'm sure it happens every day Just a passing interlude A fresh face to change the mood I'll find my feet again you say What rock, I had you rolled What rock, I had you rolled away But I live as best I can Meet the uninhabited man Please read the sign and walk away What an old dry shell I am The uninhabited man I'll find my feet again you say No doubt they'll pull me down No doubt they'll pull me down someday Who's been sleeping in my bed?

Don't you love what you got used to?

Love, like the Autumn sun, should be dyin' but it's only just begun. Like the twilight in the road up ahead, they don't see just where we're goin'. And all the secrets in the Universe, whisper in our ears And all the years will come and go, take us up, always up. We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again. Dreams, so they say, are for the fools and they let 'em drift away. Peace, like the silent dove, should be flyin' but it's only just begun. Like Columbus in the olden days, we must gather all our courage. Sail our ships out on the open sea. Cast away our fears And all the years will come and go, and take us up, always up. We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again. So, I wanna laugh while the laughin' is easy. I wanna cry if it makes it worthwhile. We may never pass this way again, that's why I want it with you. 'Cause, you make me feel like I'm more than a friend. Like I'm the journey and you're the journey's end. We may never pass this way again, that's why I want it with you, baby. We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again. ============= 10178 ================ Dolly Parton - We Might Be In Love lyrics (Dolly Parton) I love you, I love you My heart seems to whisper But my lips cannot form those words I know my heart Is calling out to you In a voice you've already heard Does your heart feel as if It could burst any second Is it racing, will not slow up Do you just want to be With me endlessly Well I'm thinking We might be in love We might be in love The best I can tell I thinkin' thoughts That I've never pondered And I'm feeling like I've never felt It's like I drink From some magic posion Sipping from your loving cup Intoxicated, infatuated I'm thinking we might be in love We might be in love What else could it be These feelings of wonder Passion and romance Excitement and pure ectasy We might be in love And it might be forever I think there's a future for us If you just want to be In and all over me It might be, we might be in love I promise for keeps If you're feeling like me Then it might be We might be in love I dare say We might be in love ============= 10179 ================ Emmylou Harris - We Must Have Been Out of Our Minds We said our goodbyes long ago Never thinking we'd miss each other so All the memories we can't leave behind Oh, we must have been out of our minds I thought I loved another, not you How foolish I thought the same, too They both turned out to be the wrong kind Oh, we must have been out of our minds Let's forgive and forget the past we've known And reap together the wild seeds we've sown Surely they can forgive us and find That we must have been out of our minds I thought I loved another, not you How foolish I thought the same, too They both turned out to be the wrong kind Oh, we must have been out of our minds Yes, we must have been out of our minds ============= 10180 ================ Linda Ronstadt - We Need a Lot More of Jesus (And a Lot Less Rock & Roll) Well you can read it in the morning papers Hear it on the radio Crime is sweeping the nation This world is about to go We need a good old case of salvation To put the love of God in our souls We need a whole lot more of Jesus And a lot less rock and roll We need more old time camp meetings And a lot more prayers of faith Prayers that will move a mountain Save our souls from the burning waste We need a good old case of salvation To put the love of God in our souls We need a whole lot more of Jesus And a lot less rock and roll We need more old fashioned preachers Pouring out their hearts in prayer When you're in their presence Well you know that the Lord is there We need a nationwide revival To put the love of God in our souls We need a whole lot more of Jesus And a lot less rock and roll We need a whole lot more of Jesus And a lot less rock and roll ============= 10181 ================ We Need A Whole Lot More Of Jesus You can read it in the morning paper Hear it on the radio How crime is sweeping the nation This world is about to go We need a good old case of salvation To put the love of God in our soul We need a shole lot more of Jesus And a lot less rock and roll We need more old time camp meetings And a lot more prayers of faith Prayers that will move a mountain Save our souls from the burning wave We need more old fashioned preachers Pouring out their hearts in prayer When you're in their presence You know that the Lord is there ============= 10182 ================ We Never Touch at All We're caught in a trap like prisoners in a cage Growing old from hate not from age The runnin' love we had is down to crawl We hardly ever talk and we never touch at all You go out with someone else while I'm out with someone too Yet we come back to prison when we're through Why don't we just stay out?

Oh, what have I done, Why have I done it, I've committed a crime, I've broken the law. For twenty-five dollars And pieces of silver, I held up and robbed A hard liquor store. My life seems unreal, My crime an illusion, A scene badly written In which I must play. Yet I know as I gaze At my young love beside me, The morning is just a few hours away. ============= 10213 ================ Weeds - by Adkins and Loudermilk You didn't greet me at the front door, No reply when I call your name In the darkness I go down the hall, It was clear my life changed Chorus Sound tickles in my head, three line note on an empty bed I just remembered just a lie, thirteen words to say goodbye No me.

The green grove is gone from the hill, Maggie Where first the daisies sprung The old rusty mill is still, Maggie Since you and I were young. A city so silent and lone, Maggie Where the young and the gay and the best In polished white mansion of stone, Maggie Have each found a place of rest Is built where the birds used to play, Maggie And join in the songs that were sung For we sang just as gay as they, Maggie When you and I were young. They say I am feeble with age, Maggie My steps are less sprightly than then My face is a well written page, Maggie But time alone was the pen. They say we are aged and grey, Maggie As spray by the white breakers flung But to me you're as fair as you were, Maggie When you and I were young. And now we are aged and grey, Maggie The trials of life nearly done Let us sing of the days that are gone, Maggie When you and I were young. ============= 10406 ================ When You Are Lonely Oh I'm thinking of you, little darling On the day that we first met And those words sweetheart that you told me I'm sure I'll never forget Oh, someday, sweetheart, when you're lonely And have no one to care for you Remember the heart you have broken And the one that has loved you so true You told me that you always would love me That no one could ever come between But it seems to me you've forgotten All those things you told to me I'll forget all those things that you told me And try to start our life anew But remember the heart you have broken And the one that has loved you so true ============= 10407 ================ When You Are Old And Gray Ton Leher Since I still appreciate you, Let's find love while we may. Because I know I'll hate you When you are old and gray. So say you love me here and now, I'll make the most of that. Say you love and trust me, For I know you'll disgust me When you're old and getting fat. An awful debility, A lessened utility, A loss of mobility Is a strong possibility. In all probability I'll lose my virility And you your fertility And desirability, And this liability Of total sterility Will lead to hostility And a sense of futility, So let's act with agility While we still have facility, For we'll soon reach senility And lose the ability. Your teeth will start to go, dear, Your waist will start to spread. In twenty years or so, dear, I'll wish that you were dead. I'll never love you then at all The way I do today. So please remember, When I leave in December, I told you so in May. ============= 10408 ================ Nickel Creek - When You Come Back Down You got to leave me now, you got to go alone You got to chase a dream, one that's all your own Before it slips away When you're flyin' high, take my heart along I'll be the harmony to every lonely song That you learn to play When you're soarin' through the air I'll be your solid ground Take every chance you dare I'll still be there When you come back down When you come back down I'll keep lookin' up, awaitin' your return My greatest fear will be that you will crash and burn And I won't feel your fire I'll be the other hand that always holds the line Connectin' in between your sweet heart and mine I'm strung out on that wire And I'll be on the other end To hear you when you call Angel, you were born to fly And if you get too high I'll catch you when you fall I'll catch you when you fall Your memory's the sunshine every new day brings I know the sky is calling Angel, let me help you with your wings When you're soarin' through the air I'll be your solid ground Take every chance you dare I'll still be there When you come back down Take every chance you dare I'll still be there When you come back down When you come back down ============= 10409 ================ When You Find Out Who You Are When You Find Out Who You Are It's of a strange and furious time When men did speed to pray Along the road of discontent to gods of gold and clay Some did seek security Among the seas of change And some did seek dear life to wound A furious time and strange But when you find out who you are Beautiful beyond your dreams Just look around and Notice where you are Just look around and notice what you see Each moment born for you innocently But when I see what we have made What we have out with the mind's blade In the blackness feel it all Repeated faces rise and fall With ancient goals unwondering fail Further obscure the ancient trail Filling with the endless years The river of your heart's tears I swear you have the power As the angels do Spread out your fingers and Make all things new Change the world by the things you say By the things you love And by the games you play And you make each new day It feels so funny in your mummy's tummy Before you get born into The world for to carry on Remember young man of the time Before you first went to school How did it feel trying to live to the rule Remember young man of the time When your love stick First rose free between your legs Like a growing tree Remember you walked with your lover Like a gypsy and a gypsy queen Under the stars where the sign was seen Under the stars where The leaves were green Under the stars where the sign was seen 0 how many shining hearts With love has guided me And many I have met before In lands across the sea We used to speak of that ocean deep How little words can say It's better now to ask your friend What makes him sad today No one can do it for you Make your own sky blue Make your own dreams come true Make it come true. ============= 10410 ================ When You Go Walking After Midnight When you go walking after midnight Over on the wrong side of town Walk down any street many lost souls you'll meet Whose lives are broken like mine You'll find souls wandering out in darkness Whose place in life they'll never find Wandering so aimless and hopelessly Whose lives are broken like mine Thank God you've got a home to go to And a woman's love to keep you warm You won't find the stars in the honky-tonk and bars Go home to your woman's loving arms ============= 10411 ================ When You Learn The Avett Brothers There is no mountain you can climb High enough to see past the fact you climbed it all alone There is no city filled with lights So bright that you forget you have never had a home I gave the world my best Brought back to you the rest And in return you loved me more How do I return all that I took from you And all the life you gave to me When you learn you can earn the love you're waiting for It's already yours There is no reason we should doubt The broken hearts will rise again The mending touch of something grand Isn't that what it's about?

the mirror Smiles at her reflection Striking sexy poses in the glass She paints her lips a brilliant red Piles her hair high on her head Struggles to replace a false eyelash She powders up her face Paints her cheeks to match her lips She wears a dress cut low in the front Fittin? tight around her hips And there inside her room She stands and gazes at herself Where beauty lives in memory She lives in fairy tales Mirror, mirror on the wall Who's the fairest of them all She sings as she goes waltzing? cross the floor She keeps a candle burning And she waits for his returning When beauty lives in memory It lives forevermore She was a fairy princess once And was by all adored They say she was the fairest of them all They called her Cinderella And they say that every fella Would gladly answer to her beck and call So the story went They tell of how this handsome prince Stole her heart and wandered far away He took her heart and took her mind Now she has lost all track of time Forty years has passed and still she waits singing Mirror, mirror on the wall Who's the fairest of them all She sings as she goes waltzing? cross the floor She keeps a candle burning And she waits for his returning When beauty lives in memory It lives forevermore Meanwhile back inside her room The shads are pulled it's half past noon But in her mind why it's forty years ago She recalls the beauty of their love She remembers he was beautiful And of course she always knew she was And so the past unfolds And all at once inside her mind She sees him at the door And as he's leading her away She feels the room begin to sway Where beauty lives in memory She falls dead upon the floor Mirror, mirror on the wall Who's the fairest of them all She sings as she goes waltzing? cross the floor She keeps a candle burning And she waits for his returning When beauty lives in memory It lives forevermore ============= 10424 ================ Where Could I Go Living below in this old sinful world Hardly a

The kid was so damned eager. It was all so big and new. You never had to tell him twice, or find him work to do. And evenings on the mess deck he was always first to sing, And show us pictures of the girl he'd wed in spring. Chorus: But I told that kid a hundred times "Don't take the Lakes for granted. They go from calm to a hundred knots so fast they seem enchanted." But tonight some red-eyed Wiarton girl lies staring at the wall, And her lover's gone into a white squall. Now it's a thing that us oldtimers know. In a sultry summer calm There comes a blow from nowhere, and it goes off like a bomb. And a fifteen thousand tonner can be thrown upon her beam While the gale takes all before it with a scream. The kid was on the hatches, lying staring at the sky. From where I stood I swear I could see tears fall from his eyes. So I hadn't the heart to tell him that he should be on a line, Even on a night so warm and fine. Chorus When it struck, he sat up with a start; I roared to him, "Get down!" But for all that he could hear, I could as well not made a sound. So, I clung there to the stanchions, and I felt my face go pale, As he crawled hand over hand along the rail. I could feel her keeling over with the fury of the blow. I watched the rail go under then, so terrible and slow. Then, like some great dog she shook herself and roared upright again. Far overside. I heard him call my name. Chorus So it's just my luck to have the watch, with nothing left to do But watch the deadly waters glide as we roll north to the 'Soo', And wonder when they'll turn again and pitch us to the rail And whirl off one more youngster in the gale. To Chorus Melody: But I tell these kids a hundred times "Don't take the Lakes for granted. They go from calm to a hundred knots so fast they seem enchanted." But tonight some red-eyed Wiarton girl lies staring at the wall, And her lover's gone into a white squall. ============= 10509 ================ The Chicks - White Trash Wedding You can't afford no

Don't be afraid dearest Mary he said, As he clasped his fond maid to his side I my absence don't mourn, for when I return, I will make you sweet Mary, my Bride. Seven long years had passed, and no word at last, Mary stood by her own cottage door. A beggar came by, a patch on his eye, Bedraggled, and ragged, and tore. Your charity fair maid, bestow upon me, Your fortune I'll tell you beside, Your lad which you mourn will never return, To make little Mary his bride. She slipped and she started, saying all that I have, It's freely to you I will give, If you'll tell me true what I now ask of you, Is my Willie dead or alive? He's living said he, though in sad poverty, And shipwrecked he has been beside, When he'd money untold and pockets of gold, He'd have made his own Mary his bride. Then if he is dead, no other I'll wed, No other I'll have by my side. In riches though rolled, or covered in gold, He'd have made his own Mary his bride. Then the patch of his eye the old beggar let fly, His old coat and crutches beside, And in sailor's blue clothes and with cheeks like the rose It was Willie who stood by her side. Oh don't be afraid dearest Mary he said, It was only your faith that I tried. To the church we'll away, at the break of the day, And I'll make little Mary my bride ============= 10620 ================ Willie Moore Willie Moore was a king his age twenty-one And he courted a damsel fair Oh her eyes were as bright as the diamonds after night And wavy black was her hair He courted her both night and day Till on marry they did agree But when he came to get her parents' consent They said that could never be She threw herself in Willie Moore's arms As oft time had done before But little did he think when they parted that night Sweet Anna he would see no more.

I will see, I will know the world the angels see. Mr. sun, I will run rings around your sky. Down below they'll finally know that this heart was made to fly. Round and round, and up and down. No boundaries no fears. My heart was born to dream to see the world from way up here. Way up here, playing hide and seek in rainbows. Way up here, where I'm supposed to be.

Chorus: I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother, I didn't hear nobody pray. I heard the crash on the highway, But I didn't hear nobody pray. When I heard the crash on the highway, I knew what it was from the start; I went to the scene of destruction A picture was stamped on my heart. Whiskey and glass all together, Was mixed up with blood where they lay. Death played her hand in destruction, But I didn't hear nobody pray. Chorus I wish I could change this sad story That I am now telling you; But there is no way I can change it, Somebody's life is now through. Their soul has been nursed by the Master, They died in a crash on their way. I heard the groans of the dying, But I didn't hear nobody pray. Chorus Give up the game an' stop drinking, For Jesus is pleading with you. It cost him a lot in redeeming, Redeeming the promise for you. Hit'll [sic] be too late if tomorrow You'll fall by a crash by the way, With whiskey and blood all around you, And you can't hear nobody pray. I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother, I didn't hear nobody pray. I heard the crash on the highway, But I didn't hear nobody pray.

You can't hurry love, No, you just have to wait, You gotta trust, give it time, No matter how long it takes; But how many heartaches must I stand Before I find a love to let me live again. Right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on, When I feel my strength, yeah, it's almost gone, I remember mama said, You can't hurry love, No you just have to wait, She said love don't come easy, It's a game of give and take. How long must I wait how much more can I take, Before loneliness will 'cause my heart, heart to break? No, I can't bear to live my life alone. I grow impatient for a love to call my own, But when I feel that I, I can't go on, These precious words keeps me hanging on, I remember mama said, Can't hurry love, No you just have to wait, She said love don't come easy, it's a game of give and take. You can't hurry love, No you just have to wait, She said love don't come easy, It's a game of give and take No matter how long it takes. No love, love don't come easy, But I keep on waiting, anticipating for that Soft voice to talk to me at night, For some tender arms to hold me tight. I keep waiting; I keep on waiting, But it ain't easy, it ain't easy when mama said You can't hurry love no, You just have to wait, She said trust, give it time No matter how long it takes. You can't hurry love You just have to wait, She said love don't come easy It's a game of give and take. ============= 10809 ================ You Can't Hurt Ham Recorded by Ricky Skaggs Written by Gordon Kennedy and Ricky Skaggs G Bill Monroe out on the road D7 He was goin' to a bluegrass date When about midnight he said with a fright C G I'm hungry is it too late Well the driver said chief there ain't no place to eat C Every thing's done shut up tight G Then the banjo man said he had a plan D7 G He it thought might save the night From a greasy little sack tucked D7 Way in the back of the bus he gave us all A bunch of country ham and biscuits C G His momma made him for the haul About two days old and it started to mold C Said the banjo-pickin' man G Mon said boy bring me that sack D7 G You know you can't hurt ham Well you know you can't hurt ham C G You know you can't hurt ham Mon said boy bring me that sack D7 G You know you can't hurt ham D7 Old Uncle Dave making his way across the USA Tuck a ham in a box with nails for locks C G He'd open up once a day He'd hand some to the waitress C And say throw this in the pan G I've been all around this world D7 G And girl you know you can't hurt ham Well you know you can't hurt ham C G You know you can't hurt ham I've been all around this world D7 G And girl and you know you can't hurt ham D7 You can hurt tater salad A7 D7 And it can hurt you back Get a hold of milk too old A7 D7 And throw things out of whack G And you can hurt a chicken C Salmonella will mess you up A7 And no one can hurt you D7 Like someone you love G There's a culinary promise C That's known throughout the land G No frigerate no expire date D7 G You know can't hurt ham Well you know you can't hurt ham C G You know you can't hurt ham No frigerate no expire date D7 G You know you can't hurt ham No frigerate no expire date D7 G You know you can't hurt ham ============= 10810 ================ You Can't Make A Heel Toe The Mark I warned you not to give your lovce to him I knew he would only break only heart His kind of lovce you just can't win And you can't make a heel toe the mark You can't keep time from rolling on You can't change the daylight from dark And you can't make a heel toe the mark A leopard will never change its spots A tiger will never change its stripes A hound dog will never change its bark And you can't make a heel toe the mark * Refrain ============= 10811 ================ Richard Thompson -

that lives on and on be yours love ============= 10997 ================ Zion's Hill There awaits for me a glad tomorrow Where the gates of pearl swing open wide And when I have passed this spell of sorrow I will camp upon the other side Someday beyond the reach of mortal kin Someday God only knows just where or when The wills of mortal life will all stand still And I shall go dwell on Zion's Hill Someday the storm clouds will be lifted Beyond the shadow of the tomb And with all the bells of Heaven ringing And the angels singing "Home Sweet Home"
