It didn't take long for other country-western groups to latch onto the song. After Harry re recorded it as, "New Jolie Blonde", in 1946, he sold the rights to Moon Mullican, which made it's way up to #2 in 1947. Red Foley did the same with New Jolie Blonde" in early 1947 and made it reach #1 for two weeks. Roy Acuff and his Smokey Mountain Boys recorded a harmonica-driven, "Our Own Jole Blon", on January 28 1947, approximately two weeks after Folley's hit. His interpretation synthesized specific elements found in the Cajun “Jole Blon”. Roy's adaptations of the song deepened national interest in Cajun music. Roy had started his recording career in the 1930s as the vocalist and fiddler for the Smoky Mountain Boys. He joined the Grand Ole Opry in 1938, and although his popularity as a musician waned in the late 1940s, he remained one of the Opry's key figures and promoters for nearly four decades. In 1942, Acuff co-founded the first major Nashville-based country music publishing company, Acuff-Rose Music, Which signed acts such as, Hank Williams, Roy Orbison, and The Everly Brothers. Allegedly, it was this version that most likely inspired Bruce Springsteen, and Gary US Bonds, to record their version in 1980. The group consisted of Roy Acuff on vocals, Lonnie Wilson on guitar, Brother Oswald Kirby on dobro, Jess Easterday on mandolin. Velma Station KNX) in Hollywood, CA. It was recorded at the CBS Studio (Radio, Williams on bass, Tommy Magness on violin, and Francis “Sonny Day” Tamvourin on accordion. After leaving the Opry, Acuff spent several years touring the Western United States, although demand for his appearances dwindled with the lack of national exposure and the rise of musicians such as Ernest Tubb and Eddy Arnold, who were more popular with younger audiences. In 1991, he was awarded the National Medal of Arts and given a lifetime achievement award by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the first Country music act to receive the esteemed honor. Creole, Cajun-Country, and Cajun swing.

("Steve") Broady, at the controls of Southern Railway 1102, or the Fast Mail, was operating the train at high speed in order to stay on schedule and arrive at Spencer on time. The Fast Mail had a reputation for never being late. Locomotive 1102, a ten-wheeler 4-6-0 engine built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, had rolled out of the factory in early 1903, less than a year before the wreck. On the day of the accident, Fast Mail was behind schedule when it left Washington, D.C., and was one hour late when it arrived in Monroe, Virginia. When the train arrived in Monroe its crew was switched, and when it left Monroe, there were seventeen people on board. The train personnel included Broady, conductor John Blair, fireman A.C. Clapp, student fireman John Hodge (sometimes known as Dodge in other documents), and flagman James Robert Moody. Also aboard were various mail clerks including J.L. Thompson, Scott Chambers, Daniel Flory, Paul Argenbright, Lewis Spies, Frank Brooks, Percival Indermauer, Charles Reams, Jennings Dunlap, Napoleon Maupin, J. H. Thompson, and W. R. Pinckney, an express messenger. When the train pulled into Lynchburg, Wentworth Armistead, a safe locker, boarded the train, so at the time of the wreck, increasing the on-board personnel to eighteen. At Monroe, Broady was instructed to get the Fast Mail to Spencer, 166 miles (267 km) distant, on time. The scheduled running time from Monroe to Spencer was four hours, fifteen minutes - an average speed of approximately 39 mph (63 km/h). In order to make up the one hour delay, the train's average speed would have to be at least 51 mph (82 km/h). Broady was ordered to maintain speed through Franklin Junction in Gretna, an intermediate stop normally made during the run. The route between Monroe and Spencer ran through rolling terrain, and there were numerous danger points due to the combination of grades and tight radius curves. Signs were posted to warn engineers to watch their speed. However, in his quest to stay on time, Broady rapidly descended a heavy grade that ended at the 45-foot-high (14 m) Stillhouse Trestle, which spanned Stillhouse Branch. He was unable to sufficiently reduce speed as he approached the curve leading into the trestle, causing the entire train to derail and plunge into the ravine below. The flames that erupted afterwards consumed the splintered debris of the wooden cars, and it was very hard for the local fire department to extinguish the blaze. The investigation that followed was greatly hampered by the fire and the few witnesses to the incident. Of the eleven men who died, nine were immediately killed,[2] and seven were injured. Among the deceased were the conductor Blair, engineer Broady and flagman Moody.[3] The bodies of both firemen were recovered, but they were mangled so badly they were unrecognizable. Several survivors of the wreck believed they stayed alive because they jumped from the train just before the fatal plunge. Among the three survivors was mail clerks Thompson and Harris. Pinckney, the express messenger, also survived the wreck, went home to Charlotte, North Carolina, and immediately resigned after his life-changing experience. Two other survivors, Jennings J. Dunlap and M.C. Maupin, did not resign, although they transferred to new departments. Dunlap went to work on a train that ran between Washington and Charlotte, while Maupin worked at the Charlotte union station.[4] Only a fraction of the mail had survived, including a large case filled with canaries that managed to escape and fly to safety. Engine 1102 was recovered, repaired, and it went on to perform further duties until it was dismantled in July 1935. The day after the wreck, vice-president Finley made a speech in which he said: "The train consisted of two postal cars, one express and one baggage car for the storage of mail.... Eyewitnesses said the train was approaching the trestle at speeds of 30 to 35 miles an hour.[5]" The Southern Railway placed blame for the wreck on Broady, disavowing that he had been ordered to run as fast as possible to maintain the schedule. The railroad also claimed he descended the grade leading to the trestle at a speed of more than 70 miles per hour. Several eyewitnesses to the wreck, however, stated that the speed was probably around 50 miles per hour. In all likelihood, the railroad was at least partially to blame, as it had a lucrative contract with the U.S. Post Office to haul mail, and the contract included a penalty clause for each minute the train was late into Spencer. It is probably safe to conclude that the engineers piloting the Fast Mail were always under pressure to stay on time so that the railroad would not be penalized for late mail delivery. Fast Mail was in another fatal accident earlier in the year of 1903. On Monday, April 13, the train left Washington at 8:00 a.m., en route to New Orleans. As the train approached Lexington, North Carolina, it collided with a boulder on the track, causing the train to derail and ditch, killing the engineer and fireman. The locomotive that was pulling the train is unknown. Southern #1102 had yet to be delivered to the railroad at that time. [Ballad "Wreck of the Old 97" Song by G. B. Grayson, Henry Whitter Written, Unknown Songwriter(s) G. B. Grayson, Henry Whitter The disaster served as inspiration for songwriters, the most famous being the ballad first recorded commercially by Virginia musicians G. B. Grayson and Henry Whitter.[6] Vernon Dalhart's version was released in 1924 (Victor Record no. 19427), sometimes cited as the first million-selling country music release in the American record industry, with Frank Ferera playing guitar and Dalhart playing harmonica.[ Since then, "Wreck of the Old 97" has been recorded by numerous artists, including Dalhart himself in 1924 under the name Sid Turner. The Statler Brothers (feat. Johnny Cash), Charlie Louvin of The Louvin Brothers, Pink Anderson, Lowgold, David Holt, Flatt and Scruggs, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Johnny Cash, Hank Snow, Chuck Ragan, Hank Williams III, Patrick Sky, Nine Pound Hammer, Roy Acuff, Boxcar Willie, Lonnie Donegan, The Seekers, Ernest Stoneman, and Kahle Brewer, Carolyn Hester, Bert Southwood, Hank Thompson, and John Mellencamp. The music was often accompanied by a banjo and a fiddle, while the lyrics were either sung, crooned, yodeled, whistled, hummed, recited, or chanted. The song rivaled that of "Casey Jones" for being the number one railroading song of all time. The ballad was sung to the tune of "The Ship That Never Returned", written by Henry Clay Work in 1865. Originally, the lyrics were attributed to Fred Jackson Lewey and co-author Charles Noell. Lewey claimed to have written the song the day after the accident, in which his cousin Albion Clapp was one of the two firemen killed. Lewey worked in a cotton mill that was at the base of the trestle, and also claimed to be on the scene of the accident pulling the victims from the wreckage. Musician Henry Whitter subsequently polished the original, altering the lyrics, resulting in the version performed by Dalhart. In 1927 it was claimed that the author of "Wreck of the Old 97" was local resident David Graves George, who was one of the first on the scene. George was a brakeman and telegraph operator who also happened to be a singer. Witnessing the tragedy inspired him to write the ballad.[10] After the 1924 recording by the Victor Talking Machine Company was released, George filed a claim for ownership. On March 11, 1933, Judge John Boyd proclaimed that George was the author of the ballad. Victor Talking Machine Company was forced to pay David $65,000 of the profits from about five million records sold. Victor appealed three times. The first two times, the courts ruled in favor of George. The third time the court of appeals ruled in favor of Victor Talking Machines. George appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States, but the court ruled that George had filed his appeal too late and dismissed it, thereby granting Victor ownership of the ballad. "Wreck of the Old 97" is 777 in the Roud Folk Song Index. The ballad clearly places the blame for the wreck on the railroad company for pressuring Steve Broady to exceed a safe speed limit, for the lyric (on the Dalhart recording) begins, "Well, they handed him his orders in Monroe, Virginia, saying, 'Steve, you're way behind time; this is not 38 it is Old 97, you must put her into Spencer on time.'" [Popular culture In Scarface, Ann Dvorak sings the song while playing it on the piano. During the late 1940s, a parody of the ballad was sung that mocked the ties that the folk singer Pete Seeger had to the Communist Party. The lyrics began, "Well they gave him his orders up at Party headquarters, saying, 'Pete, you're way behind the times; this is not '38, it is 1947, there's been a change in that old Party line.'" An episode of the Suspense radio program,[13] broadcast on March 17, 1952, and starring Frank Lovejoy,[14] was loosely based on the ballad, which appears in snatches throughout the play. The facts of the wreck are changed, however, eliminating all but one fireman, all but one mail car clerk, and adding two escaped killers. The ballad was referenced in the song "Blood on the Coal", a folk parody song from A Mighty Wind, the mockumentary film from Christopher Guest. The reference seems to be a tribute to the ballad, although the wreck described in "Blood on the Coal" is an absurd one in which the train crashes into a coal mine. In the movie The Blues Brothers, the band is handed a list of songs to play at a gig. While the band is cleaning up Elwood says, "Sorry we couldn't remember 'The Wreck of the Old 97'." A version of the song, by Ramblin' Jack Elliott, is part of the ambient soundtrack to the video game Sid Meier's Railroads! The popular alt-country band Old 97's take their name from the ballad. The title track from Opal's "Northern Line" EP (1985) alludes, "I'm hummin' on a cold train; I'm singin' 'bout the Wreck of the Old 97". A cover by Old 97's was released on the expanded edition of their 1997 album Too Far to Care. In Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Starlight Express, the main villain (a murderous brake van) claims he's responsible for multiple historical train crashes, including the Old 97. In the Shining Time Station episode "Happy Accidents", the Jukebox Band performs this song. Tex and Rex play the banjo together. Kingsley Amis quotes from the ballad in his novel Lucky Jim (1954 chapter 5). In The Andy Griffith Show episode "Crime-Free Mayberry", Andy offers to sing "The Wreck of the Ole 97" but Barney calls it a dippy song so Andy doesn't play it. Note: Fred Lewey was a cousin of the Fireman Albion Clapp on the Old 97. Actually, Fred was working in a cotton mill right next to the foot of the trestle jumped by the train, and was one of those who helped dig out the bodies of the crew, fully aware that Albion was to be one of them. Fred went home, and started writing the song the next day.

Another sinking sun, one more lonely night The wind keeps blowing somewhere everyday Tell me things get better somewhere up the way Just dismal thinking on a dismal day Sad songs for us to bare If I could only fly, if I could only fly If I could only fly then I would be with you You know sometimes I write happy songs Then some little thing goes wrong And I wish they all could make you smile Coming home soon and I want to stay Maybe we can somehow get away I wish you could come with me when I go again If I could only fly, if I could only fly I'd bid this place goodbye to come and be with you And I can hardly stand, I got no where to run Another sinking sun and one more lonely night If I could only fly, if you could only fly If we could only fly there'd be no more lonely nights Lyricks

I didn't know God made honky tonk angels I might have known you'd never make a wife You gave up the only one who ever loved you And went on back to the wild side of life. The glamour of the gay nightlife has lured you To the places where the wine and liquor flow Where you waited to be somebody's baby And forget the truest love you'll ever know. I didn't know God made honky tonk angels I might have known you'd never make a wife You gave up the only one who ever loved you Then went on back to the wild side of life Here Comes the Hate Again Here comes that hurt again You'd think I'd learn The more that I believe in love The more I get burned. I'm lying right here again o close to the flame Here comes that hurt again But I'm used to the pain. I wanna say I love you But this is not the time And even though I'm holding you God, I know he's still on your mind Someone else to hind in Behind your simple smile Now I've been hurt like this before Honey, not in quite a while. Here comes that hurt again You'd think I'd learn The more that I believe in love The more I get burned. I'm lying right here again So close to the flame Here comes the hurt again But I'm used to the pain.

Lyrics to 16 Tons Lyrics to Hicktown Lyrics to Blackberry Boogie End of Contents Here's a little of Tennessee Ernie Ford's history to bring up to date of a joke he told in a recording of 16 Tons it was recorded on stage to a live audience, you could hear them in the background. I remember Tennessee Ernie Ford say back around the middle of 1944 and into the 1950s, he went on from there. He called himself a pea picker. He had a great orchestra with horns and backup singers, with a great baritone voice, he was noted for doing country, but his voice and band led you to assume they could cover pop too, I think he could do light opera, light the voice of Gordon MacRae if he wanted. Gordon MacRae's two big movies he starred in probably was, Oklahoma! 1955, and Carousel (1956). Gordon MacRae did much more like: Broadway, Radio, Many other movies, Television, Stage. As Tennessee Ernie Ford told the following joke he made funny remarks as he told it Like: You up there in the roost, and running through the bathroom barefooted. Here's the joke Tennessee Ernie Ford told on a recording of 16 Tons. A beautiful showgirl came back to his part of the country to take some time off and rest. She rented a room in a nice farmhouse and settled in. She took walks through the fields, meadows, and woods, and mud?. One day it was so hot she decided to take a walk and found herself walking in the woods in back of the farmhouse, boy it sure was hot. Shortly she came to a nice calm river, well I think I'll take a swim, it was so hot. So she took her close off and put them on a rock, and jumped into the river. Then the young Walker boy for no reason at all came down big footing through the woods, he hadn't been there for 6 months. He got down on the bank of the river and saue a ladies clothes laying on a rock, he looked out into the water and fortunately our heroine was in deep enough of the water. Of course his eyes bugged out like a stomped on toad frog. Whel he sat down on the rock, and she saw him and thought he'll get up shortly and leave., and I'll get out and get dressed and go back to the house. Whell not that boy. Finally it was getting later and she was getting a little cold, and said, young man would you mind getting up and going away, I have to come out and get dressed and go to the house. He kept sitting there, and she begged him, and he sat. Moving around in the water, she tried to keep warm, it was getting late. Her foot hit something on the river bottom, wondering what it was,, she reached down and picked it up, it was an old large dishpan. She covered herself up pretty good with it, and came storming out of the river up to him and said, young man dou you know what I think? He said yes mam, I think you think there's a bottom in that dishpan. Then he went on to sing 16 Tons, backed upt with his band. Lyrics to 16 Tons Some people say a man is made outta mud A poor man's made outta muscle and blood Muscle and blood and skin and bones A mind that's a weak and a back that's strong Chorus You load sixteen tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go Verse 2 I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine I owe my soul to the company store I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul" Chorus You load sixteen tons, what do you get?

Blackberry boogie, blackberry boogie I'm brought back like a flip When it's blackberry pickin' time I went to see my gal, I set my bucket down She said, ?Hi there baby, are you goin' to town?? I'll meet you in a minute in the blackberry patch? I said, ?Uh-uh honey, I'm a goin' where they scratch She grabs her bucket and she jumps and squeals I'm headin' for the bushes and she's hot on my heels I start pickin' on one end, she picks on the other We meet in the middle and she yells, ?Oh, brother? Blackberry boogie, blackberry boogie Oh, I love that girl When I meet her in the middle of the patch We go through the briars walkin' hand in hand Pickin' blackberries just to beat the band I grab her for a kiss, she said, ?Turn me loose Your lips are all blue from that blackberry juice? I hug her once and said, ?Don't be coy You know I'm your blackberry pickin' boy? I kissed her then and she let out a sigh And said, ?Let's go to my house and bake a pie?

Lyrics to Saginaw, Michigan Lyrics to I Love You A Thousand Ways End of Contents Lyrics to The Long Black Veil Recorded (1959) Ten years ago, on a cold, dark night There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light There were few at the scene, but they all agreed That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me The judge said, "Son what is your alibi? If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die" I spoke not a word, though it meant my life For I had 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 nears 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 Nobody knows but me Nobody knows but me Lyrics to Saginaw, Michigan I was born in Saginaw, Michigan I grew up in a house on Saginaw bay My dad was a poor, hard working Saginaw fisherman Too many times he came home with too little pay I loved a girl in Saginaw, Michigan The daughter of a wealthy, wealthy man But he called me 'that son of a Saginaw fisherman' And not good enough to claim his daughter's hand Now I'm up here in Alaska, looking around for gold Like a crazy fool, I'm digging in this frozen ground so cold But with each new day, I pray I'll strike it rich and then I'll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw, Michigan I wrote my love in Saginaw, Michigan I said "Honey, I'm coming home please wait for me And you can tell your dad, I'm coming back a richer man I hit the biggest strike in Klondike history" Her dad met me in Saginaw, Michigan He gave me a great big party with champagne Then he said "Son, you're wise young ambitious man Will you sell your father-in-law your Klondike claim?" Now he's up there in Alaska, diggin' in the cold, cold ground The greedy fool is looking for the gold I never found It serves him right, and no one here is missing him Least of all the newlyweds of Saginaw, Michigan We're the happiest man and wife in Saginaw, Michigan He's ashamed to show his face in Saginaw, Michigan Lyrics to I Love You A Thousand Ways I love you, I'll prove it in days to come I swear it's true Darlin', you're the only one I think of you, of the past and all our fun I love you, I'll prove it in days to come You're my darling, you've been true I should have been good to you You're the one that's in my heart While we're apart I'll be true I'll prove it to you someday My love is for you In my heart you'll always stay I've been so blue and lonesome all these days Chorus;

That I may never shake Now you might say that I was taking it hard Since you wrote me off with a call But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow When I may break right down and bawl Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch Heartaches are going to the inside My tears are holding back They're trying not to fall My heart's out of the running True love's scratched for another's sake The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all One day I had ventured in love, never once suspecting What the final results would be How I lived in fear of waking up each morning And finding that you'd gone from me There's aching and pain in my heart For the day was the one that I hated to face Somebody new came up to win her And I came out in second place Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch Heartaches are going to the inside My tears are holding back They're trying not to fall My heart's out of the running True love's scratched for another's sake The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all Lyricks to [From the window up above I've been living a new way Of life that I love so But I can see the clouds are gathering And the storm will wreck our home For last night he held you tightly And you didn't even shove This is true for I've been watching (watching you) From the window up above You must have thought that I

watching (watching you) From the window up above From my eyes the teardrops started As I listened on and on I heard you whisper to him softly That our marriage was all wrong But I hope he makes you happy And you will never lose his love I lost mine while I was watching (watching you) From the window up above How I wish I could be dreaming And wake up to an honest love that's true But I'm wrong for I've been watching (watching you) From the window up above Lyricks to She's My Rock Well, You tell me how she was when you once knew her How She played her games with many, many men And you tell me that you don't think I'd be with her If I could have known her back then Lord, You ask me why I don't pack up and leave her Now that I know about her wicked ways Well, I doubt that you could

Over there, sits the chair Where she'd bring the paper to me And sit down on my knee And whisper oh, I love you But now she's gone forever And this old house will never Be the same without the love That we once knew. Straight ahead, that's the bed Where we'd lay in love together And Lord knows we had a good thing going here See her picture on the table Don't it look like she'd be able Just to touch me and say good morning dear. There's her rings, all her things And her clothes are in the closet Like she left them When she tore my world apart. As you leave you'll see the nursery, Oh, she left me without mercy Taking nothing but Our baby and my heart. Step right up, come on in Lyrics to Two Story House George Jones & Tammy Wynette We always wanted a big two story house Back when we lived in that little two room shack We wanted fame and fortune And we'd live life the way the rich folks do We knew some how we'd make it Together me and you With dreams and hopes of things to come We worked and never stopped Not much time for you and me We had to reach the top We bought that big two story house And soon became the envy of the town With all our work behind us We'd finally settled down Now we live (yes we live) in a two story house Whoa, what splendor But there's no love about I've got my story And I've got mine, too How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house The house is filled with rare antiques There's marble on the floor Beauty all around us Like we've never seen before There's chandeliers in every room Imported silks and satin all about We filled the house with everything But somehow left love out Now we live (yes we live) in a two story house Oh what splendor But there's no love about I've got my story And I've got mine, too How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house Lyrics to The Right Left Hand I've cried a million tears, Down through the years. Searching for that special one. And the vows I took before, Where all forever more, But no matter how I tried they came undone. Then the good lord finally gave me The true love of a lady, Someone who believes in me. And she lets me know each day, That love is here to stay. I finally found someone who'll never leave. Chorus:] I put a golden band on the right left hand this time, And the right left hand put a golden band on mine. When our hair is snowy white, Time will prove I'm right. I put a golden band on the right left hand this time. I'll never have to reach For the love that my heart needs, She'll be close enough to touch. And when the nights are long and cold, She'll be there to hold, All dressed up for one more night of love. Chorus:] I put a golden band on the right left hand this time, And the right left hand put a golden band on mine. When our hair is snowy white, Time will prove I'm right. I put a golden band on the right left hand this time. I put a golden band on the right left hand this time...

spoke to folks around him Didn't have too much to say No one dared to ask his business No one dared to make a slip For the stranger there among them Had a big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip It was early in the morning When he rode into the town He came riding from the south side Slowly looking all around "He's an outlaw loose and running" Came the whisper from each lip "And he's here to do some business With the big iron on his hip" Big iron on his hip In this town there lived an outlaw By the name of Texas Red Many men had tried to take him And that many men were dead He was vicious and a killer Though a youth of twenty four And the notches on his pistol Numbered one and nineteen more One and nineteen more Now the stranger started talking Made it plain to folks around He was an Arizona ranger Wouldn't be too long in town He came here to take an outlaw Back alive, or maybe dead And he said it didn't matter; He was after Texas Red After Texas Red Wasn't long before the story Was relayed to Texas Red But the outlaw didn't worry - Men that tried before were dead Twenty men had tried to take him Twenty men had made a slip Twenty-one would be the ranger With the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip The morning passed so quickly; It was time for them to meet It was twenty past eleven When they walked out in the street Folks were watching from the windows Everybody held their breath They knew this handsome ranger Was about to meet his death About to meet his death There was forty feet between them When they stopped to make their play And the swiftness of the ranger Is still talked about today Texas Red had not cleared leather 'Fore a bullet fairly ripped And the ranger's aim was deadly With the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip It was over in a moment And the folks had gathered round There before them lay the body Of the outlaw on the ground Oh, he might have went on living But he made one fatal slip When he tried to match the ranger With the big iron

I feel like I could lay down, and get up no more, It's the damndest feelin'; I never felt it before. Tonight I feel like an old violin, Soon to be put away and never played again. Don't ask me why I feel like this, hell, I can't say. I only wish this feelin' would just go away. I guess it's 'cause the truth, Is the hardest thing I ever faced. 'Cause you can't change the truth, In the slightest way. I tried. So I asked myself, I said: 'John, where'd you go from here?' Then like a damned fool, I turned around and looked in the mirror. And there I saw, an old violin. Soon to be put away and never played again. So one more time, just to be sure, I said: 'John, where in the hell do you go from here?' You know that when a nickel's worth of difference, And I looked in the mirror, that's when I knew. That there I was seein', an old violin. Soon to be put away, and never played again. And just like that, it hit me, That old violin and I were just alike. We'd give our all to music, And soon, we'd give our life.

Bill or George! Anything but Sue! Lyrics to Folsom Prison Blues I hear the train a comin' It's rollin' 'round the bend, And I ain't seen the sunshine, Since, I don't know when, I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, And time keeps draggin' on, But that train keeps a-rollin', On down to San Antone When I was just a baby, My Mama told me, "Son, Always be a good boy, Don't ever play with guns," But I shot a man in Reno, Just to watch him die, When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry. I bet there's rich folks eatin', In a fancy dining car, They're probably drinkin' coffee, And smokin' big cigars, But I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free, But those people keep a-movin', And that's what tortures me. Well, if they freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine, I bet I'd move out over a little, Farther down the line, Far from Folsom Prison, That's where I want to stay, And I'd let that lonesome whistle, Blow my Blues away. [Lyrics to Ring Of Fire Johnny Cash’s soon-to-be-second-wife June Carter wrote “Ring of Fire” in 1963 with Merle Kilgore to express the experience of falling in love with the married Man in Black. Cash would continue to walk the line with his first wife, Vivian Liberto, until 1966. June Carter finally became June Cash. Love is a burnin' thing, And it makes a fiery ring Bound by wild desire I fell into a ring of fire. I fell into a burnin' ring of fire I went down, down, down As the flames went higher, And it burns, burns, burns, The ring of fire, the ring of fire. I fell into a burnin' ring on fire I went down, down, down As the flames went higher, And it burns, burns, burns, The ring of fire, the ring of fire. The taste of love is sweet When hearts like ours meet. I fell for you like a child Oh, but the fire went wild. I fell into a burnin' ring of fire I went down, down, down And the flames went higher And it burns, burns, burns, The ring of fire, the ring of fire. I fell into a burnin' ring of fire I went down, down, down, As the flames went higher, And it burns, burns, burns, The ring of fire, the ring of fire. And it burns, burns, burns, The ring of fire, the ring of fire.

Many of Kristofferson’s hits are best known through artists who covered them. Me and Bobby McGee was popularized by Janis Joplin For The Good Times by Ray Price Kris Kristofferson has led one of the most interesting lives of any songwriter in country music, and it shows in the richly textured and subtly nuanced songs that he writes. The iconic songwriter started life as the son of a military officer, and he moved around the country before ending up in California, where he graduated high school. Kristofferson was a gifted student and athlete, and he earned a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford University, where he took part in rugby and boxing before earning a Master's degree in English Literature. He also served as a helicopter pilot in the Army and refused a position teaching at West Point to drop out and pursue songwriting full-time. Kristofferson's varied life experiences and literary bent both helped shape him into one of the most unique songwriting voices of his generation, whose songs have been covered by artists as diverse as, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Ray Price, Ronnie Milsap and even Janis Joplin, in addition to his own solo hits. Though. Kristofferson has had a long and successful solo career, many of the Top 10 Kris Kristofferson Songs are familiar primarily because of iconic recordings from other artists. Kristofferson turned more and more to themes of politics and social justice for his later work, including many of the songs on Repossessed. Though it didn't have the chart success of some of the other top Kris Kristofferson songs, "They Killed Him" still stands as one of his best. The lyrics pay tribute to his heroes, including Martin Luther King, Jr., Mohatma Gandhi and Jesus Christ. Kristofferson builds the narrative masterfully, explaining how each of those men came in peace, and ending each story with the powerful refrain, "My God, they killed him." Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan also cut their own versions of the song.

Interestingly, the song was never promoted to country radio; instead, it became a hit in the Adult Contemporary format. Roger Miller also cut the song. 8 "For the Good Times" From: 'Kristofferson' (1970) Kris Kristofferson - For the good times (1970) "For the Good Times" appeared on Kristofferson's landmark debut album, which helped re-write the rules of Nashville songwriting. It had been previously recorded by Bill Nash, but by far the most recognizable version of the song came from Ray Price, who took it to the top of the charts in 1970. His recording of "For the Good Times" took Song of the Year honors at the ACM Awards. Perry Como also had a hit with "For the Good Times" in the UK in 1973. 7 "The Taker" From: 'The Silver Tongued Devil and I' (1971) Kris Kristofferson - The Taker Kristofferson collaborated with Shel Silverstein -- who would go on to find fame as the author of children's books -- on "The Taker," which appeared on his second album in a horn-laden rendition that has a Tex-Mex flair. That same year, Waylon Jennings cut a better-known version and made it the title song of his album The Taker/Tulsa, which featured a total of four Kristofferson cuts. His take on the song reached No. 5. 6 "Please Don't Tell Me How the Story Ends" From: 'Natural Act' (1978) Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge - Please don't tell me how the story ends (1978) Kristofferson and his then-wife, Rita Coolidge, recorded a duet version of "Please Don't Tell Me How the Story Ends" in 1978, the year before they divorced. But it was Ronnie Milsap's recording that brought it to the public's attention. Milsap first recorded the song for his debut album in 1971, then re-recorded it for his Pure Love album in 1974. That version reached No. 1 on the country charts. Willie Nelson, Bobby Bare, Joan Osborne and even Sammy Davis, Jr. are among the other artists who have recorded the song. 5 "The Pilgrim, Chapter 33" From: 'The Silver Tongued Devil and I' (1971) THE PILGRIM, CHAPTER 33 - Kris Kristofferson Kristofferson's second album is a treasure trove of masterful songwriting, and one of the standout cuts is "The Pilgrim, Chapter 33." The song was inspired by an encounter with Johnny Cash and ultimately written as an homage to all of the gifted, difficult artists who had served as an inspiration to Kristofferson, including Dennis Hopper, Bobby Neuwirth and Ramblin' Jack Elliott. The song contains one of Kristofferson's most iconic lyrics: "He's a walkin' contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction / Takin' every wrong direction on his lonely way back home." 4 "Why Me" From: 'Jesus Was a Capricorn' (1972) Kris Kristofferson - Why Me Kristofferson is known for the gritty realism of many of his best songs, but "Why Me" is a stark contrast, a country-gospel song written from the heart and without the poetic bent and hard-nosed world view of some of his other efforts. Kristofferson was inspired to write the song at a low point in his life after attending a church service where Larry Gatlin sang a song called "Help Me Lord," and Gatlin sings backing vocals on the track, which is a direct plea for divine intervention: "Lord help me, Jesus / I've wasted it so help me Jesus / I know what I am / Now that I know that I've needed you / So help me Jesus, my soul's in your hands." The song was Kristofferson's only solo country hit, reaching No. 1 in 1973. 3 "Help Me Make It Through the Night" From: 'Kristofferson' (1970) Kris Kristofferson, Help me make it through the night Kristofferson was inspired to write "Help Me Make It Through the Night" after reading an interview Frank Sinatra gave to Esquire magazine. He cut it for his debut album, but it's also one of the most-recorded songs in his songbook, with cuts from, Loretta Lynn, Lynn Anderson, Tammy Wynette, Dottie West, Ray Price, Johnny Cash, Charley Pride and many more. Sammi Smith scored the biggest hit on the song; her 1971 rendition reached number 1 on the country charts and won a Grammy for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. 2 "Me and Bobby McGee" From: 'Kristofferson' (1970) Kris Kristofferson~ Me and Bobby Mcgee "Me and Bobby McGee" became one of the most iconic songs of the 1970s. Kristofferson co-wrote it with his producer, Fred Foster, whose friend, Boudleaux Bryant, had a secretary named Bobby McKee. In Kristofferson's original, Bobby is a woman. Roger Miller first cut the song in 1969, and Kristofferson included it in his 1970 debut album, but it was Janis Joplin's 1971 recording that launched the song, helping cement Kristofferson's position as one of the most important songwriters of his generation. 1 "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down" From: 'Kristofferson' (1970) Kris Kristofferson ~ Sunday Morning Coming Down Among the many iconic songs on Kristofferson's self-titled debut album, "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down" is arguably the most important for its long-term impact. First cut by Ray Stevens in 1969, the song was then cut by Kristofferson himself in 1970, but the best-known cover came from Johnny Cash that same year. He took the song to number 1 in 1970, winning the CMA Award for Song of the Year in the process. The song helped launch Kristofferson on a career trajectory that saw him become one of the most prolific and important songwriters of the 20th century. Lyricks to For the Good Times Words & Music by Kris Kristofferson Written By Kris Kristofferson Don't look so sad, I know it's over But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together There's no need o watch the bridges that we're burning Lay your head upon my pillow Hold your warm and tender body close to mine Hear the whisper of the raindrops fallin' soft against the window And make believe you love me one more time For the Good times I'll get along, you'll find another And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me Lay your head upon my pillow Hold your warm and tender body close to mine Hear the whisper of the raindrops fallin' soft against the window And make believe you love me one more time For the good times For the good times Lyrics to Help Me Make It Through The Night Take the ribbon from your hair Shake it loose and let it fall Lay it soft against my skin Like the shadows on the wall Come and lay down by my side Till the early morning light All I'm takin' is your time Help me make it through the night I don't care what's right or wrong I don't try to understand Let the devil take tomorrow Lord, tonight I need a friend Yesterday is dead and gone And tomorrow's out of sight And it's sad to be alone Help me make it through the night I don't care what's right or wrong, (Yes, I do!) I don't try to understand Let the devil take tomorrow Lord, tonight I need a friend Yesterday is dead and gone And tomorrow's out of sight Lord, it's bad to be alone Help me make it through the night Lyrics to Me & Bobby McGee Janis Joplin, bdest recording Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train I was feeling near as faded as my jeans. Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained, And rode us all the way to New Orleans. I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna, I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues. Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine, We sang every song the driver knew. Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose, Nothing don't mean nothing honey if it ain't free, now now. And feeling good was easy laugh when he sang the blues, You know feeling good was good enough for me, Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee. From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun, Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul. Through all kinds of weather, through everything that we done, Hey Bobby baby kept me from the cold. One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away, He's looking for that home and I hope he finds it, But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday To be holding Bobby's body next to mine. Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose, Nothing, and that's all that Bobby left me, yeah, And feeling good was easy laugh when he sang the blues, Hey, feeling good was good enough for me, hmm hmm, Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee. La la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la la La la la la la Bobby McGee. La la la la la, la la la la la La la la la la, Bobby McGee, la. La La la, la la la la la la, La La la la la la la la la, hey now Bobby now Bobby McGee yeah. Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na na Hey now Bobby now, Bobby McGee, yeah. Lord, I'm calling my lover, calling my man, I said I'm calling my lover just the best I can, C'mon, where is Bobby now, where is Bobby McGee, yeah, Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, Lord! Yeah! Whew! Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee. Lyrics to Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down Johnny Cash Johnny Cash had the most recorded sold. (originally by Ray Stevens) Well I woke up Sunday morning With no way to hold my head, that didn't hurt And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, So I had one more for dessert. Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes And found my cleanest dirty shirt. Then I washed my face and combed my hair And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day. I'd smoked my mind the night before With cigarettes and the songs I'd been pickin' But I lit my first and watched a small kid Playin' with a can that he was kicking Then I walked across the street And caught the Sunday smell of someone's fryin' chicken And it took me back to somethin' That I'd lost somewhere, somehow along the way. On a Sunday morning sidewalk I'm wishing Lord that I was stoned 'Cause there's something in a Sunday That makes a body feel alone. And there's nothin' short of dyin' That's half as lonesome as the sound Of a sleepin' city sidewalk And Sunday mornin' comin' down. In the park I saw a daddy With a laughin' little girl who he was swingin' And I stopped beside a Sunday school And listened to the songs they were singin' Then I headed down the street And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin' And it echoed thru the canyon Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday. On a Sunday morning sidewalk I'm wishing Lord that I was stoned 'Cause there's something in a Sunday That makes a body feel alone. And there's nothin' short of dyin' That's half as lonesome as the sound Of a sleepin' city sidewalk And Sunday mornin' comin' down.

It's a love without end, amen, it's a love without end, amen." When I became a father in the spring of '81 There was no doubt that stubborn boy was just like my father's son. And when I thought my patience had been tested to the end, I took my daddy's secret and I passed it on to him. [Chorus] Last night I dreamed I died and stood outside those pearly gates.

Lyrics to Too Much Time On My Hands Lyrics to Simple Man Lyrics to The South's Gonna Do It Lyrics to What this world needs is a few more redneck's End of Contents Lyrics to Uneasy Rider I was taking a trip out to L A Tooling along in my Chevrolet Taking on a number and digging on the radio Just as I crossed the Mississippi line I heard that highway start to whine And I knew that left rear tire was about to blow Well the spare was flat and I got uptight Cause there wasn't a filling station in sight So I just limped on down the shoulder on the rim I went as far as I could and when I stopped the car It was right in front of this little bar Kind of a red-neck looking joint called the Dew Drop Inn I stuffed my hair up under my hat And told the bartender that I had a flat And would he be kind enough to give me change for a one There was one thing I was sure proud to see There wasn't a soul in the place except for him and me He just looked disgusted and pointed toward the telephone I called up the station down the road a ways He said he wasn't very busy today And he could have someone out there in just about 10 minutes or so He said, "Now, you just stay right where yer at And I didn't bother to tell the darn fool That I sure as hell didn't have anyplace else to go I just ordered up a beer and sat down at the bar When some guy walked in and said, "Who owns this car With the peace sign, the mag wheels and the four on the floor He looked at me and I damn near died And I decided that I'd just wait outside So I laid a dollar on the bar and headed for the door Just when I thought I'd get out of there with my skin These 5 big dudes come strolling in With one old drunk chick and some fella with green teeth I was almost to the door when the biggest one Said, "You tip your hat to this lady, son And when I did, all that hair fell out from underneath Now the last thing I wanted was to get into a fight In Jackson Mississippi on a Saturday night Especially when there was three of them and only one of me They all started laughing and I felt kinda sick And I knew I better think of something pretty quick So I just reached out and kicked old green teeth right in the knee Now he let out a yell that'd curl your hair But before he could move I grabbed me a chair And said "Now watch him Folks cause he's a thoroughly dangerous man "You may not know it but this man is a spy He's a undercover agent for the FBI And he's been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan He was still bent over holding on to his knee But everybody else was looking and listening to me And I laid it on thicker and heavier as I went I said, "Would you believe this man has gone as far As tearing Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars And he voted for George McGovern for President "Well, he's a friend of them long haired, hippy-type, pinko fags I bet you he's even got a commie flag Tacked up on the wall inside of his garage "He's a snake in the grass, I tell you guys He may look dumb but that's just a disguise He's a mastermind in the ways of espionage They all started looking real suspicious at him And he jumped up and said "Now just wait a minute Jim You know he's lying I been living here all of my life "I'm a faithful follower of Brother John Birch And I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church And I ain't even got a garage, you can call home and ask my wife Then he started saying something bout the way I was dressed But I didn't wait around to hear the rest I was too busy moving and hoping I didn't run out of luck When I hit the ground I was making tracks And they were just taking my car down off the jacks So I threw the man a twenty and jumped in and fired that mother up Mario Andretti would be sure been proud Of the way I was moving when I passed that crowd Coming out the door and headed toward me at a trot And I guess I should of gone ahead and run But somehow I just couldn't resist the fun Of chasing them all just once around the parking lot Well they headed for their car, but I hit the gas And spun around and headed them off at the pass I was slinging gravel and putting a ton of dust in the air I had them all out there stepping and fetching Like their heads was on fire and their asses was catching Then I figured I had better go ahead and split before the cops got there When I hit the road I was really wheeling Had gravel flying and rubber squealing

say I'm no good, and crazy as a loon 'Cause I get stoned in the mornin', I get drunk in the afternoon Kinda like my old blue tick hound, I like to lay around in the shade And I ain't got no money, but I damn sure got it made 'Cause I ain't askin' nobody for nothin' If I can't get it on my own If you don't like the way I'm livin' You just leave this long haired country boy alone Preacher man talking on TV, puttin' down the rock and roll Wants me to send a donation, 'cause he's worried about my soul He said, "Jesus walked on the water.", and I know that it's true But sometimes I think that preacher man, would like to do a little walkin' too But I ain't askin' nobody for nothin' If I can't get it on my own If you don't like the way I'm livin' You just leave this long haired country boy alone A poor girl wants to marry, a rich girl wants to flirt A rich man goes to college, a poor man goes to work A drunkard wants another drink of wine, and a politician wants your vote I don't want much of nothing at all, but I will take another toke 'Cause I ain't asking nobody for nothin' If I can't get it on my own If you don't like the way I'm livin' You just leave this long haired country

He also used a pseudonym, Floyd Jenkins, writing songs under that name. Rose is equally well known as the discoverer, producer, and creative partner of Hank Williams. Many songs Hank wrote Rose would clean up escalading them into big hits. One song rose helped in writing was Kaw liga. Hank Williams first meats Fred Rose In September 1946 Hank Williams and wife Audrey Sheppard Williams, attempted to interest the recently formed music publishing firm Acuff-Rose Music. Hank and wife Audrey approached Fred Rose, president of Acuff-Rose, during the end of one of his habitual ping-pong games at WSM radio studios.

Hank Williams rise in prominence Williams signed with MGM Records in 1947 and released "Move It on Over"; considered an early example of rock and roll music, the song became a massive country hit. In 1948, he moved to Shreveport, Louisiana, and he joined the Louisiana Hayride, a radio show broadcast that propelled him into living rooms all over the southeast, of which he appeared on weekend shows. Williams eventually started to host a show on KWKH and started touring across western Louisiana and eastern Texas, always returning on Saturdays for the weekly broadcast of the Hayride. After a few more moderate hits, in 1949 he released his version of the 1922 Cliff Friend, and Irving Mills song, "Lovesick Blues",made popular by Rex Griffin. Williams' version became a huge country hit; the song stayed at number one on the Billboard charts for four consecutive months, crossing over to mainstream audiences and gaining Williams a place in the Grand Ole Opry. Debut at the Grand Ole Opry He made his biggest impact with Lovesick Blues in 1949, which led to him joining the Grand Ole Opry. On June 11, 1949, Williams made his debut at the Grand Ole Opry, where he became the first performer to receive six encores, in those days the Grand Ole Opry was at the Rimon auditorium. Releases more songs Williams released seven hit songs after "Lovesick Blues", including "Wedding Bells", "Mind Your Own Business", "You're Gonna Change (Or I'm Gonna Leave)", and "My Bucket's Got a Hole in It". Signed to Acuff-Rose publishing he relied heavily on professional songwriter and music publisher Fred Rose to clean up the rough and ready lyrics and melodies that he created. Whoever deserves to take the credit for writing the songs Hank sang, he was the one who sold them across the footlights and in the record grooves, making listeners believe they were living his songs as intensely as he was. His celebrated ups and downs with first wife Audrey was the motivation for much of his best work. He was Always shy, lonely and insecure Hank actually feared stardom and it weighed heavily on this backward Alabama country boy. Once he got out there on stage, he became a charismatic entertainer, able to twist the women around his little finger and still appeal to their menfolk. Behind the scenes he drank heavily and popped pills as his records topped the country charts and his songs were turned into million-sellers by such pop singers as Tony Bennett, Jo Stafford, Kay Starr and Frankie Laine. In early July, 1952 Audrey Williams divorced him Some months after in October 1952, he married Billie Jean Jones. He had a brief extramarital affair with dancer Bobbi Jett with whom he fathered a daughter, Jett Williams. She was born January 6, 1953, two days after his burial). Death The last months of his life though financially rewarding were ultra tragic. He was fired from the Grand Ole Opry in August 1952 because of his perpetual drunkenness. By the end of that year, he was bone-weary from the demands of the music business, he was probably too tired to care what happened to him and died from heart-failure in the back of a car in the early hours of New Year’s Day 1953. He was just 29 years old. It must be remembered he had a back injury after falling from a bull during a rodeo in Texas, and receive a 4-F deferment from the military, curing the American entry into World War II, december 7 1942. In November 1951 Williams suffered a fall during a hunting trip with his fiddler Jerry Rivers in Franklin, Tennessee. The fall reactivated his old back pains. He later started to consume painkillers, including morphine, and alcohol to ease the pain. More on his death I copied the following, as it very well explained Hanks ending time with us. Williams was scheduled to perform at the Municipal Auditorium in Charleston, West Virginia on Wednesday December 31, 1952. Advance ticket sales totaled US$3,500. That day, because of an ice storm in the Nashville area, Williams could not fly, so he hired a college student, Charles Carr, to drive him to the concerts. Carr called the Charleston auditorium from Knoxville to say that Williams would not arrive on time owing to the ice storm and was ordered to drive Williams to Canton, Ohio, for the New Year's Day concert there. They arrived at the Andrew Johnson Hotel in Knoxville, Tennessee, where Carr requested a doctor for Williams, as he was feeling the combination of the chloral hydrate and alcohol he had drunk on the way from Montgomery to Knoxville. Dr. P.H. Cardwell injected Williams with two shots of vitamin B12 that also contained a quarter-grain of morphine. Carr and Williams checked out of the hotel, the porters had to carry Williams to the car, as he was coughing and hiccuping. At around midnight on Thursday, January 1, 1953, when they crossed the Tennessee state line and arrived in Bristol, Virginia, Carr stopped at a small all-night restaurant and asked Williams if he wanted to eat. Williams said he did not, and those are believed to be his last words. Carr later drove on until he stopped for fuel at a gas station in Oak Hill, West Virginia, where he realized that Williams was dead, and rigor mortis had already set in. The filling station's owner called the chief of the local police. In Williams' Cadillac, the police found some empty beer cans and unfinished handwritten lyrics. Dr. Ivan Malinin performed the autopsy at the Tyree Funeral House. Malinin found hemorrhages in the heart and neck and pronounced the cause of death as "insufficiency of the right ventricle of the heart". When Hank's death at the Rimon auditoria was announced during a concert Williams' death to the gathered crowd, they started laughing, thinking that it was just another excuse. The Rimon auditoria had no back room, all performers stood in the back of the stage. The singing guests started singing "I Saw the Light" as a tribute to Williams, the crowd, now realizing that he was indeed dead, sang along. Malinin also wrote that Williams had been severely beaten and kicked in the groin recently. Also, local magistrate Virgil F. Lyons, ordered an inquest into Williams' death concerning the welt that was visible on his head. His body was transported to Montgomery, Alabama on Friday, January 2, and placed in a silver coffin that was first shown at his mother's boarding house for two days. His funeral took place on Sunday, January 4, at the Montgomery Auditorium, with his coffin placed on the flower-covered stage. An estimated 15,000 to 25,000 people passed by the silver coffin, and the auditorium was filled with 2,750 mourners. His funeral was said to have been far larger than any ever held for any other citizen of Alabama and the largest event ever held in Montgomery. Williams' remains are interred at the Oakwood Annex in Montgomery. The president of MGM told Billboard magazine that the company got only about five requests for pictures of Williams during the weeks before his death, but over three hundred afterwards. The local record shops reportedly sold all their Williams records, and customers were asking for all records ever released by Williams. His final single, released in November 1952 while he was still alive, was ironically titled "I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive". "Your Cheatin' Heart" was written and recorded in September 1952 but released in late January 1953 after Williams' death.

Lyrics to Kaw-Liga 1 Kaw-Liga was a wooden Indian standing by the door He fell in love with an Indian maid over in the antique store KAW-LIGA - A, just stood there and never let it show So she could never answer "YES" or "NO". He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk KAW-LIGA - A, too stubborn to ever show a sign Because his heart was made of knotty pine. Chorus:] Poor ol' KAW-LIGA, he never got a kiss Poor ol' KAW-LIGA, he don't know what he missed Is it any wonder that his face is red KAW-LIGA, that poor ol' wooden head. KAW-LIGA, was a lonely Indian never went nowhere His heart was set on the Indian maiden with the coal black hair KAW-LIGA - A, just stood there and never let it show So she could never answer "YES" or "NO". Then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid And took her, oh, so far away, but ol' KAW-LIGA stayed KAW-LIGA - A, just stands there as lonely as can be And wishes he was still an old pine tree. Chorus] Poor ol' KAW-LIGA, he never got a kiss Poor ol' KAW-LIGA, he don't know what he missed Is it any wonder that his face is red KAW-LIGA, that poor ol' wooden head. Lyrics to Kaw-Liga 2 Kaw-liga was a wooden Indian standing by the door. He fell in love with an Indian maiden over in the antique store. Kaw-liga just stood there and never let it show, So she could never answer "yes" or "no." CHORUS: Poor ol' Kaw-liga, he never got a kiss. Poor ol' Kaw-liga, he don't know what he missed. Is it any wonder that his face is red? Kaw-liga, that poor ol' wooden head. He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk. The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped some day he'd talk. Kaw-liga, too stubborn to ever show a sign, Because his heart was made of knotty pine. Kaw-liga was a lonely Indian, never went nowhere. His heart was set on the Indian maid with the coal black hair. Kaw-liga just stood there and never let it show, So she could never answer "yes" or "no." And then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid, And took her, oh, so far away, but ol' Kaw-liga stayed. Kaw-liga just stands there as lonely as can be, And wishes he was still an old pine tree.

Lyrics to Family Tradition Country music singers have always been a real close family But lately some of my kinfolks have disowned a few others and me I guess it's because I kind of changed my direction Lord I guess I went and broke their family tradition They get on me and want to know Hank, why do you drink? Hank, why do you roll smoke Why must you live out the songs that you wrote Over and over everybody makes my predictions So if I get stoned, I'm just carrying on an old family tradition I am very proud of my daddy's name All though his kind of music and mine ain't exactly the same Stop and think it over. Put yourself in my position If I get stoned and sing all night long it's a family tradition So don't ask me, Hank why do you drink? Hank, why do you roll smoke Why must you live out the songs that you wrote If I'm down in a honky-tonk some ole slick's trying to give me friction I said leave me alone I'm singing all night long it's a family tradition Lord I have loved some ladies and I have loved Jim Beam And they both tried to kill me in 1973 When that doctor asked me, Son how did you get in this condition I said, hey sawbones, I'm just carrying on an ole family tradition So don't ask me, Hank, why do you drink? Hank, why do you roll smoke Why must you live out the songs that you wrote Stop and think it over, try and put yourself in my unique position If I get stoned and sing all night long, it's a family tradition Lyrics to A country boy can survive [Verse 1 The preacher man says it's the end of time And the Mississippi River she's a-goin' dry The interest is up and the stock market's down And you only get mugged if you go downtown I live back in the woods, you see My woman and the kids and the dogs and me I got a shotgun, a rifle and a 4-wheel drive And a country boy can survive, country folks can survive I can plow a field all day long I can catch catfish from dusk 'til dawn We make our own whiskey and our own smoke, too Ain't too many things these old boys can't do We grow good old tomatoes and homemade wine And a country boy can survive, country folks can survive Chorus 1 Because you can't starve us out and you can't make us run Cause we're them old boys raised on shotguns And we say grace and we say Ma'am If you ain't into that we don't give a damn We came from the West Virginia coal mines And the Rocky Mountains and the western skies And we can skin a buck, we can run a trotline And a country boy can survive, country folks can survive Verse 2 I had a good friend in New York City He never called me by my name, just "hillbilly" My grandpa taught me how to live off the land And his taught him to be a businessman He used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights And I'd send him some homemade wine But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife For 43 dollars my friend lost his life I'd love to spit some Beech-Nut in that dude's eyes, and shoot him with my old 45 Cause a country boy can survive, country folks can survive Chorus 2 Cause you can't starve us out and you can't make us run Cause we're them old boys raised on shotguns And we say grace and we say Ma'am And if you ain't into that we don't give a damn We're from north California and south Alabama And little towns all around this land And we can skin a buck, and run a trotline And a country boy can survive, country folks can survive Outro A country boy can survive Country folks can survive

on his radio Oh, drinkin' his beer and dialin' up the request line Momma and old Aunt Joan Probably in the dining room tryin' to use the phone Me, I'm thinkin' about that girl and later tonight Oh,

(Some kind of trouble.) I went to my boss Said, "I need a little time To work on this poor old broken heart of mine." He said, "I'd like to help you. I've been there before The problem is, girl, you don't work here no more You got trouble Some kind of trouble." Trouble in my heart, trouble on my mind There's never any trouble for me to find Some kind of trouble. (Some kind of trouble.) I got trouble I was down around low as a body can be So I talked to my preacher about prayin' for me He smiled and he said, "Child, you're not alone 'Cause all God's children got to deal with their own trouble Some kind of trouble." Trouble in my heart, trouble on my mind There's never any trouble for me to find Some kind of trouble. (Some kind of trouble.) Some kind of trouble. (Some kind of trouble.) Some kind of trouble.

(Some kind of trouble.) Some kind of trouble Lyrics to It's A Little Too Late Well, I was up all night well wonderin' what to do, Thinkin' that I oughta just forget about you, But it's a little too late; Well, it's a little too late. When you walked in I shoulda walked out. Well, it's a little too late to do the right thing now. Well, the whole town told me you're a heart break king; Guess I oughta pay attention when they say those things. Well, it's a little too late. Well, it's a little too late. I know all my old buddies wanna help me out, But it's a little too late to do the right thing now. Turn the jukebox up throw some sawdust down. I'm too far gone to turn this heart around. I may be wrong but I don't walk out; Well, it's a little too late to do the right thing now. Turn the jukebox up an' throw some sawdust down. I'm too far gone to turn this heart around. I may be wrong but I don't walk out; Well, it's a little too late to do the right thing now. I was up all night well wonderin' what to do, Thinkin' that I oughta just forget about you, But it's a little too late; Well, it's a little too late. When you walked in I shoulda walked out. Well, it's a little too late to do the right thing now. I may be wrong but I don't walk out, Well, it's a little too late to do the right thing now. Lyricks to I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love With You) Today I passed you on the street And my heart fell at your feet I can't help it if I'm still in love with you. Somebody else stood by your side And he looked so satisfied I can't help it if I'm still in love with you. A picture from the past came slowly stealing As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you Then suddenly I got that old time feeling I can't help it if I'm still in love with you. It's hard to know another's lips will kiss you And hold you just the way I used to do Oh, heaven only knows how much I miss you I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.

Honest work out in the fields. Cornbread in my momma's kitchen. Daddy saying grace before the meal. Family ties run deep in this land. And I'm never very far from what I am. I was born country and that's what I'll always be. Like the rivers and the woodlands wild and free. I got a hundred years of down home running through my blood. I was born country and this country's what I love. Moonlight and you hear beside me. Crickets serenadin' in the yard. What more could two people ask for. Laying here in love beneath the stars. Now this is where I wanna raise my kids. Just the way my mom and daddy did. I was born country and that's what I'll always be. Like the rivers and the woodlands wild and free. I got a hundred years of down home running through my blood. I was born country and this country's what I love. I was born country and that's what I'll always be.

Chorus:] We Were Walkin' in High Cotton Old times there are not forgotten Those fertile fields are never far away We Were Walkin' in High Cotton Old times there are not forgotten Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced. When Sunday mornings rolled around We dressed up in hand-me downs Just in time, to gather with the church Sometimes I think how long it's been And how it impressed me then It was the only day my daddy wouldn't work. We were walkin' in high cotton.

He said, "I turned 65 about 11 months ago." I was sittin' in Miami pourin' blended whiskey down When this old gray black gentleman was cleanin' up the lounge There wasn't anyone around 'cept this old man and me The guy who ran the bar was watchin' "ironsides" on tv Uninvited, he sat down and opened up his mind On old dogs and children and watermelon wine "Ever had a drink of watermelon wine? " he asked He told me all about it, though I didn't answer back "Ain't but three things in this world that's worth a solitary dime, But old dogs and children and watermelon wine." He said, "women think about they-selves, when menfolk ain't around. And friends are hard to find when they discover that you're down." He said, "I tried it all when I was young and in my natural prime; Now it's old dogs and children and watermelon wine." "Old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes; God bless little children while they're still too young to hate." When he moved away I found my pen and copied down that line 'Bout old dogs and children and watermelon wine. I had to catch a plane up to Atlanta that next day As I left for my room I saw him pickin' up my change That night I dreamed in peaceful sleep of shady summertime Of old dogs and children and watermelon wine.

I live with Angel she's a roadhouse queen Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee I want to love her but I don't know how I'm at the bottom in the jailhouse now Ain't living long like this Can't live at all like this,can I baby? You know the story about the jailhouse rock Don't want to do it but just don't get caught They got'em all in the jailhouse baby Ain't living long like this Can't live at all like this,can I baby? Lyrics to Chokin' Kind I only meant to love you don't you know it babe Why couldn't you be contented with the love I gave I've given you my heart and now you want my mind Your love scares me to death girl it's the chokin' kind. You can kill a man with bullets poison or a knife But it hurts him more to take his pride and run his life Whatever it is you want girl I hope you find But that hat don't fit my head it's the chokin' kind. When you fall in love again girl take a tip from me If you don't like the peaches walk on by the tree Find what you want and keep it treat it sweet and kind But let it breathe don't make your love the

Detterline Jr. Given to David Allan Coe to sing Well I was thumbin' from Montgomery Had my guitar on my back When a stranger stopped beside Me in an antique cadillac He was dressed like nineteen fifty Half drunk and hollow eyed He said it's a long walk to Nashville, son would you like a ride I sat down in the front seat, he turned on the radio And them sad old songs coming out of them speakers Was solid country gold Then I noticed the stranger was ghost white pale When he asked me for a light And I knew there was something strange about this ride Chorus He said "Drifter can you make folks cry when you play and sing Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues Can you bend them guitar strings He said "Boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside 'cause if you'rr big star bound let me warn ya it's a long hard ride Then he cried just south of Nashville And he turned that car around He said "This is where you get off boy Because I'm going back to Alabam As I stepped out of that cadillac I said mister many thanks He said "you don't have to call me mister, mister The whole world called me hank Chorus He said, "Drifter can ya make folks cry when you play and sing Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues Can you bend them, guitar strings He said, "Boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride e

covered with tattoos and scars I got some in prison and others in bars And the tattoos I had put on me My old man was full of scars he got fighting in bars The rest he got working' on old junk cars In the daytime They looked like tombstones in our yard And I never seen him when he wasn't tired and mean He sold used parts to make ends meet Covered with grease from his head to his feet Cussing' the sweat and the texas heat And skeeterz And the neighbors said we lived like hicks But they brung their cars for pa to fix anyhow He was veteran-proud, tried and true He'd fought till his heart was black and blue Didn't know how he'd made it through the hard times He bought our house on the g.i. bill But it wasn't worth all he had to kill to get it He drank pearl in a can and jack daniels black Chewed tobacco from a mail pouch sack Had an old dog that was trained to attack Sometimes He'd get drunk and mean as a rattlesnake And there wasn't too much That he would take from a stranger Sing with Rhythm There were thirteen kids and a bunch of dogs A house full of chickens and a yard full of hogs I spent the summertime cutting' up logs for the winter Trying' like the devil to find the lord Working' like a slave for my room and board Coal-burin' stove, no natural gas If that ain't country, I'll kiss your ass Sing with Rhythm If that ain't country, It'll hair lip the pope If that ain't country, it's a damn good joke I've seen the grand ole opry, And I've met johnny cash If that ain't country Hold up the hand and say what, and the audience will say I'll kiss your ass Recitation Mama sells eggs at a grocery store My oldest sister is a lady of the night Dad says she can't come home anymore And he means it Ma just sits and keeps her silence Sister, she left 'cause dad got violent And he knows it Mama she's old far beyond her time From chopping tobacco and I've seen her crying' When blood started flowing' from her calloused hand and It hurt me She'd just keep working' trying' to help the old man To the end of one row and back again like always She's been through hell since junior went to jail When the lights go out she ain't never failed To get down on her knees and pray Because she loves him Told all the neighbors he was off in the war Fighting' for freedom, He's good to the core and she's proud Now our place was a graveyard for automobiles At the end of the porch there was four stacks of wheels And tires for sale for a dollar or two Cash Sing with Rhythm There was fifty holes in an old tin roof Me and my family we was living' proof The people who forgot about poor white trash And if that ain't country, I'll kiss your ass Sing with Rhythm If that ain't country, it'll hair lip the pope If that ain't country, it's a damn good joke I've seen the grand ole opry, And I've met johnny cash If that ain't country Hold up the hand and say what, and the audience will say I'll kiss your ass I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes Concerning the great speckled bird I didn't know god made honky-tonk angels And went back to the wild side of life Lyridks to If That Ain't Country, recorded at a concert Recitation I'm just an old man now covered with scars that I got fighting in redneck bars And a bunch of new tattoos I had put on me Well they covered up the ones I got in prison years ago, I wasn't famous then and I wasn't free I grew up in a 3 room rundown shack At the foot of a mountain by a railroad track Where decent folks don't go when the sun goes down My daddy worked in coal mines and he worked on cars And mama go to church and daddy go to bars Well most folks just called us the hillbilly part We had a 55 Chevy when I was 15 I painted it red, but I was still green Shoot I couldn't even aford to buy gas Sing with Rhythm I had a Ford and a rifle and a Boeing knife too A redneck tobacco I liked to chew A whistle I liked to cause when a train went through And if that ain't country, I'll kiss your ass If that ain't country it'll hairlip the pope If that ain't country its a dann good joke I been on the Gran ole Opry And I met Johnny Cash Count some 3 measures And if he ain't country, Hold up the hand and say what, and the audience will say I'll kiss your ass Recitation Now one of my sisters was a lady of the night And then one day she saw the light And now she don't do those things she used to doo She never make the funeral when daddy died I said I'd forgive her, but i guess I lied There's just no way to hide the way I feel Now me and my brothers took our sister Diann down to the funeral home to see the old man Gemma was the oldest and Diann was the youngish one Now Ray was in the middle, and there was me And I'm the one at 23, who grew up to be that Yankee's rebel son Now times have changed, and I've heard folks say, its been ten years senced my daddy passed away But I can still picture him in his overhauls Cover with grease, from his head to his feet Cushing swift in the Texas heat, and the mosquitos Standing by the house where he made his deals Then around the porch there was a bunch of old wheels And some used Harley Davidson parts that he sold for cash Sing with Rhythm There were 30 hole in a old tin roof Me and my family were living proof A perfect example of poor white trash And if that ain't country I'll kiss your ass If that ain't country it'll hairlip the pope If that ain't country its a dann good joke I been on the Gran ole Opry And I met Johnny Cash Count some 3 measures And if he ain't country, Hold up the hand and say what, and the audience will say I'll kiss your ass Short pause And if he ain't country, Hold up the hand and say a little louder what, and the audience will say I'll kiss your ass Short pause And if he ain't country, Hold up the hand and say what , much louder, and the audience will say I'll kiss your ass Band play with Rhythm fast for a little over a half minute.

sweet little Jenny's hand" Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time Remember, Sam, a true love is so hard to find I'd build for my Jenny, a honeymoon home Below that old white mountain, just

mighty Miss is sip We took a little bacon and we took a little beans And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Or leans We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin' There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago We fired once more and they began to runnin' On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico We looked down the river and we seed the British come And there must have been a hundred of 'em beatin' on the drum They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring We stood behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin' There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago We fired once more and they began to runnin' On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise If we didn't fire our muskets till we looked 'em in the eyes We held our fire till we seed their faces well Then we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave m Well, we Fired our guns and the British kept a-comin' There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago We fired once more and they began to runnin' On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico Yeah they ran through the briers and they ran through the brambles And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round We filled his head with cannonballs n powdered his behind And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin' There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago We fired once more and they began to runnin' On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico Yeah they ran through the briers and they ran through the brambles And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico Hut, hut, three, four Sound off, three, four Hut, hut, three, four Sound off, three, four Hut, Lyrics to Sink the Bismarck In May of 1941 the war had just begun The Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest guns The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the sea On her decks were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees Out of the cold and foggy night came the British ship the Hood And every British seaman he knew and understood They had to sink the Bismarck the terror of the sea Stop those guns as big as steers and those shells as big as trees We'll find the German battleship that's makin' such a fuss We gotta sink the Bismarck cause the world depends on us Yeah hit the decks a runnin' boys and spin those guns around When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her down The Hood found the Bismarck and on that fatal day The Bismarck started firing fifteen miles away We gotta sink the Bismarck was the battle sound But when the smoke had cleared away the mighty Hood went down For six long days and weary nights they tried to find her trail Churchill told the people put every ship asail Cause somewhere on that ocean I know she's gotta be We gotta sink the Bismarck to the bottom of the sea We'll find the German battleship... The fog was gone the seventh day and they saw the morning sun Ten hours away from homeland the Bismarck made it's run The Admiral of the British fleet said turn those bows around We found that German battleship and we're gonna cut her down he British guns were aimed and the shells were coming fast The first shell hit the Bismarck they knew she couldn't last That mighty German battleship is just a memory Sink the Bismarck was the battle cry that shook the seven seas We found the German battleship t'was makin' such a fuss We had to sink the Bismarck cause the world depends on us We hit the deck a runnin' and we and spun those guns around Yeah we found the mighty Bismarck and then we cut her down We found the German battleship Lyrics to David Ball Songs Contents Lyrics to She always talked about Mexico Lyrics to When the devil wants to wrastle End of Contents Lyrics to She always talked about Mexico She blew into this old one horse town Like something we ain't never seen Old Bill hired her at the Sundown Grill She tied that apron 'round her jeans I started hanging out there every night Just to hear her talk and laugh I couldn't help but fall in love with her I should've known it wouldn't last She always talked about Mexico I never thought my love could make her settle down I guess I know better now She's probably living down there by the sea I wonder if she ever thinks of me One morning she was gone like the wind She won't be back this way again Old Bill could tell that I was missing her As he poured me a drink Said if you put a wild bird in a cage You'll break it's will to sing If that's true then she's better off Still out there wild and free So I bought straight tequila all around Said,"Boy,here's to her memory" She always talked about Mexico I never thought my love could make her settle down I guess I know better now She's probably living down there by the sea I wonder if she ever thinks of me One morning she was gone like the wind She won't be back this way again Lyrics to When the devil wants to wrastle If there's someone out there and their heart filled with doubt And they're standing in the shadow and the candles blows out And the devil is there with you,he's got you in his hold You think you're no match for him,but don't surrender your soul When the devil wants to wrestle put Jesus in the ring When you're down for the count just call out his name If he's got you in his grip oh remember this one thing When the devil wants to wrestle put Jesus in the ring There I was all alone fearing for my life There was darkness all around me on that lonely night When the devil made a move he got a hold of me Then I called out for help and the Lord set me free When the devil wants to wrestle put Jesus in the ring When you're down for the count just call out his name If he's got you in his grip oh remember this one thing When the devil wants to wrestle put Jesus in the ring When the devil wants to wrestle put Jesus in the ring When you're down for the count just call out his name If he's got you in his grip oh remember this one thing When the devil wants to wrestle put Jesus in the ring When the devil wants to wrestle put Jesus in the ring Lyrics to Kitty Wells Songs Contents Lyrics to It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels LYRICS to MAKING BELIEVE End of Contents Lyrics to It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels As I sit here tonight, the jukebox playin' The tune about the wild side of life As I listen to the words you are sayin' It brings memories when I was a trustin' wife It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels As you said in the words of your song Too many times married men think they're still single That has caused many a good girl to go wrong It's a shame that all the blame is on us women It's not true that only you men feel the same From the start most every heart that's ever broken Was because there always was a man to blame It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels As you said in the words of your song Too many times married men think they're still single That has caused many a good girl to go wron LYRICS to MAKING BELIEVE Making believe that you still love me It's leaving me alone and so blue But I'll always dream Still, I'll never own you Making believe It's all I can do Can't hold you close When you're not with me You're somebody's love You'll never be mine Making believe I'll spend my lifetime Loving you Making believe Making believe that I never lost you But my happy hours I find are so few My plans for the future will never come true Making believe What else can I do?

Thought I heard a chicken sneeze. Twas only a rooster saying his prayers, Thanking his God for the hens upstairs. I was down in the hen house on my knees. Thought I heard a chicken sneeze. IT sneezed it's head AND tail right off Chorus Oh monah, you shall be free when the good Lord sets you free In the morning, you shall be free Let me sing, "You shall be free When the good Lord sets you free I was down in the hen house other night Awful dark, I didn't have no light I reached for a chicken.

Here's he singing, "You shall be free." Taking that collection, "You shall be free When the good Lord sets you free." Oh, some folks say, times is hard Preacher says, "Put your trust in God Man knows the difference, don't you see A hog can't run just as fast as me Chorus Let me sing, "You shall be free In the mornin, you shall be free Let me sing, "You shall be free When the good Lord sets you free Well, some people say a preacher won't steal I caught two down in my cornfield One had a bushel; other had a peck Other had a rooster down his neck Chorus In the morning, you shall be free Get a rooster. You shall be free Yes, and drive corn. You shall be free When the good Lord sets you free Well, you see that preacher a-settin on a log Finger on a trigger and his eye on a hog Pulls that trigger, the gun went zip Grabbed that hog with all his grip Chorus Getting a hog eye. You shall be free I don't care. You shall be free Let me sing, "You shall be free When the good Lord sets you free Lyrics to [My gal sal Chorus: They called her friv -o -lous Sal, A most -peculiar sort of a gal, With a heart that was mellow, An all round good fellow, was my gal Sal She was always willing to share; A wild sort of devil, But dead on the level, Was My Gal Sal.

friend, is gonna keep you free and clean Now you wear your skin like iron Your breath as hard as kerosene You weren't your momma'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 boy, 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've 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've had him any day They only let him slip away out of kindness I suppose The boys tell how old Pancho fell, and Lefty's livin in cheap hotels The desert's quiet, 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've had him any day They only let him go so long, out of kindness I suppose A few gray Federales say, they could've had him any day They only let him go so long, out of kindness I suppose Lyrics to Always On My Mind (originally by Brenda Lee) Maybe I didn't love you Quite as often as I could have And maybe I didn't treat you Quite as good as I should have If I made you feel second best Girl I'm sorry I was blind You were always on my mind You were always on my mind And maybe I didn't hold you All those lonely, lonely times And I guess I never told you I'm so happy that you're mine Little things I should have said and done I just never took the time But you were always on my mind You were always on my mind Tell me tell me that your sweet love hasn't died And give me Give me one more chance To keep you satisfied I'll keep you satisfied [Instrumental Interlude] Little things I should have said and done I just never took the time But you were always

Charles and Willie Nelson He looked down into her brown eyes, Said, " Say a prayer for me." She threw her arms around him, Whispered, "God will keep us free." And they could hear the riders comin', He said, "This is my last fight. If they take me back to Texas, They won't take me back alive." And there were seven Spanish Angels, At the alter of the Sun. They were prayin' for the lovers, In the valley of the gun. And when the battle stopped, And the smoke cleared. There was thunder from the throne. And seven Spanish angels, Took another angel home. She reached down and picked the gun up, That lay smokin' in his hand. Said, "Father please forgive me, I can't make it without my man." And she knew the gun was empty, And she knew she couldn't win. But her final prayer was answered, When the rifles fired again. And there were seven Spanish Angels, At the alter of the Sun. They were prayin' for the lovers, In the valley of the gun. And when the battle stopped, And the smoke cleared. There was thunder from the throne. And seven Spanish angels, Took another angel home. Written by Eddie F.

But she never complains of the bad times or bad things he's done Lord. She's just talks about the good times they've had and all the good times to come. She's a good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man. She loves him in spite of his ways that she don't understand. Through teardrops and laughter they'll pass through this world hand in hand. A good hearted woman lovin' her good timin' man. He likes the night life the brightlights and good timin' friends. When the party's all over she welcome him back home again. Lord knows she don't understand him but she does the best that she can. Cause she's a good hearted woman she loves her good timin' man. She's a good hearted woman Lyrics to Touch Me Touch me, touch the hand of a man Who once owned all the world And touch, me touch the arms That once held all the charms Of the world's sweetest girl Touch me, maybe someday you may Need to know how it feels when you lose And so touch me, you'll know How you feel with the blues Watch me, watch the eyes That have seen all the heartache And pain in the land And be thankful you're happy though Standing so close to the world's bluest man Don't forget me, take a good look At someone who's lost everything he can lose And then touch me and you'll know How you'd feel with the blues [guitar] Don't forget me take a good look...

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 the day is done Dealin' cards with the old men in the club car Penny a point, ain't no one keepin' score Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle And feel the wheels rumbling 'neath the floor And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers Ride their fathers' magic carpet made of steel Mothers with their babes asleep rockin' to the gentle beat And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel Good morning, 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 the day is done Night time on the City of New Orleans changing cars in Memphis Tennessee Halfway home we'll be there by morning Through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea And all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream And the steel rails still ain't heard the news The conductor sings his songs again the passengers will please refrain This train has got the disappearing railroad blues Good morning, America.

Gene) It was painted red the stripe was white It was 18 feet from the bow to 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, and made for the water Ran her for years, til' the transom got rotten A piece of my childhood will never be forgoten It was just an 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 it whine He'd say, "You can't beat the way a old wood boat rides" Just a little lake cross the Alabama line But I was king of the ocean When Daddy let me drive Just an old half ton short bed 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'd let me drive her when we 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 pedels Smiling like a hero who just received his medal It was just an old hand me down ford With 3 speed on the column and a dent in the door A young boy two hands on the wheel I can't replace the way it made me feel and I would press that clutch And I would keep it right He would say a little slower son Your doing just fine Just a dirt road with trash on each side But I was Mario Andretti When Daddy let me drive I'm grown up now 3 daughters of my own I let them drive my old jeep Across the pasture at our home Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file And pull out that old memory And think of me and smile And say It was just an old worn out jeep Rusty old floor boards 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 Turn it left, and steer it right Straighten up girl now, you're doing just fine Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride But I was high on a mountain When Daddy let me drive Daddy let me drive Oh he let me drive It's just an old plywood boat With a 75 johnson And electric choke Lyricks to Like Red On A Rose Written by, Robert Lee Castleman When your lips first smiled at me I was captured instantly To each his own Like blue in the sky The gaze of your willing eyes Touched something deep inside The truth be known That I love you like all little children love pennies And I love you cause I know that I can't do anything wrong You're where I belong Like red on a rose And I love you like all little children love pennies And I love you like good times of which I've known many And I love you cause I know you give me a heart of my own You make my blood flow Like red on a rose Lyrics to A Woman's Love I have known it And I have felt it I have known a woman's love And I have tasted And I have wasted A woman's love And I know I know I'll never understand it All the little things that make it grand and A woman's love And I know I know I'll never come face to face With anything that takes the place Of a woman's love Well I have kissed it Tried to resist it I have missed a woman's love And I have hated Taken for granted A woman's love And I know I know I'll never understand it All the little things that make it grand and A woman's love And I know I know I'll never come face to face With anything that takes the place Of a woman's love Well I have needed And I have pleaded And I have lost a woman's love And I have worshipped And I have cursed it A woman's love And I know I know I'll never understand it All the little things that make it grand A woman's love And I know I know I'll never come to face to face With anything that takes the place Of a woman's love And I know I know I'll never come face to face Lyrics to Chasin' That Neon Rainbow Daddy won a radio He tuned it to a country show I was rocking in the cradle to the crying of a steel guitar Mama used to sing to me She taught me that sweet harmony Now she worries cause she never thought I'd really ever take it this far Singin' in the bars CHORUS:] And chasin' that neon rainbow Livin' that honky tonk dream Cause all I've ever wanted Is to pick this guitar and sing It's time to be somebody Just wanna be heard and seen I'm chasin' that neon rainbow Livin' that honky tonk dream An atlas and a coffee cup Five pickers in an old Dodge truck Headin' down to Houston for a show on Saturday night This overhead is killing me Half the time I sing for free When the crowd's into it, lord, It makes this thing I'm doing seem right Standing in the spotlight CHORUS] Now daddy's got a radio He won it thirty years ago He said; son I just know We're gonna hear you singin' on it some day I made it up to music row Lordy, don't the wheels turn slow Still I wouldn't trade a minute I wouldn't have it any other way Just show me to the stage Lyrics to Chattahoochee Well, way down yonder on the Chattahoochee It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie We laid rubber on the Georgia asphalt We got a little crazy but we never got caught.

Yeah, way down yonder on the Chattahoochee Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me But I learned how to swim and I learned who I was A lot about livin' and a little 'bout love. Ya ha Well, we fogged up the windows in my old Chevy I was willin' but she wasn't ready So I settled for a burger and a grape sno-cone I dropped her off early but I didn't go home. Down by the river on a Friday night Pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight Talkin' 'bout cars and dreamin' 'bout women Never had a plan, just a livin' for the minute.

Ya he That's right Lyrics to Livin On Love Two young people without a thing Say some vows and spread their wings Settle down with just what they need Livin' on love She don't care 'bout what's in style She just likes the way he smiles It takes more than marble and tile Livin' on love Livin' on love, buyin' on time Without somebody nothing ain't worth a dime Just like an old fashion story book rhyme Livin' on love It sounds simple, that's what you're thinkin' But love can walk through fire without blinkin' It doesn't take much when you get enough Livin' on love Two old people without a thing Children gone but still they sing Side by side in that front porch swing Livin' on love He can't see anymore She can barely sweep the floor Hand in hand they'll walk through that door Just livin' on love Livin' on love, buyin' on time Without somebody nothing ain't worth a dime Just like an old fashion story book rhyme Livin' on love It sounds simple that's what you're thinkin' But love can walk through fire without blinkin' It doesn't take much when you get enough Livin' on love No it doesn't take much when you get enough Livin' on love Lyrics to Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning) Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day? Were you in the yard with your wife and children Or working on some stage in L.A.? Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke Risin' against that blue sky? Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor Or did you just sit down and cry? Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones And pray for the ones who don't know? Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble And sob for the ones left below? Did you burst out with pride for the red, white and blue And the heroes who died just doin' what they do? Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer And look at yourself and what really matters? Chorus:] I'm just a singer of simple songs I'm not a real political man I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell You the difference in Iraq and Iran But I know Jesus and I talk to God And I remember this from when I was young Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us And the greatest is love Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day? Were you teaching a class full of innocent children Or driving down some cold interstate? Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor In a crowded room did you feel alone? Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her? Did you dust off that Bible at home? Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened Close your eyes and not go to sleep? Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages Or speak to some stranger on the street? Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow Or go out and buy you a gun? Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watchin' And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns? Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers Did you stand in line and give your own blood? Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family Thank God you had somebody to love? Chorus x2] And the greatest is love. And the greatest is love. Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?

Back in 1939 Hollywood gave us a great movie, as Hollywood is known: It was called the Wizard of Oz. In the movie Dorothy only 17 years old and not quite 5 feet tall is walking down the Yellow brick road, She comes across a all straw talking scarecrow, Then she comes across an all tin mman, that squeaks when he walks Then comes face to face with a cowardly Lion that scares himself when he roars, All the time she is walking down the Yellow Brick road she's singing Over the Rainbow, Actually Dorothy is young 17 year old and not quite 5 feet tall Judy Garland, I looked for am intro by Judy and couldn't find one, ella Fitzgerald had one, but it was two long and I couldn't shorten it, So I wrote my own.

Lyrics to Bobby Verse 1 Bobby pleaded guilty to the charges that they read As they led him from the courtroom, a young voice turned his head A little boy dressed in blue was standing at the rail He said, "I hope they kill you, I hope you go to hell" They locked Bobby in a jail with forty other men They all knew what he'd done, they were glad to take him in They'd all seen the headlines about Bobby and his wife How they loved each other, and how he took her life Day after day, he sat alone Night after night, they'd hear him sing his song, he'd sing Chorus Baby, I'll take care of you, I'll never let you down No harm will ever come to you as long as I'm around I am not afraid of what people say or do The only thing I fear is being here without you Verse 2 The little boy dressed up in blue grew up to be a man When he fell in love himself, he came to understand How it was that Bobby took the life they both adored Cause Bobby couldn't stand to see her suffer anymore He took out the papers from the trunk beneath his bed And all the years just disappeared as through his tears, he read The stories of the accident that robbed his mama's mind And the man who held her in his arms and chose to cut the line And the one about the man who sits alone Year after year, singing his song Chorus Baby, I'll take care of you, I'll never let you down No harm will ever come to you as long as I'm around I am not afraid of what people say or do The only thing I fear is being here without you Verse 3 The young man drove his car up and parked outside the gate They led him to a cold gray room, the guard told him to wait When the guard brought Bobby in, the young man finally knew He still missed his mama, but he'd missed his daddy too When the guard left the two of them alone He took Bobby in his arms, and the young man sang a song Chorus Daddy, I'll take care of you, I'll never let you down No harm will ever come to you as long as I'm around You have taught me not to fear what people say and do And the only thing that hurts is being here without you Lyrics to "The Greatest Man I Never Knew Verse 1 The greatest man I never knew Lived just down the hall And everyday we said hello But never touched at all He was in his paper I was in my room How was I to know he thought I hung the moon? Verse 2 The greatest man I never knew Came home late every night He never had too much to say Too much was on his mind I never really knew him Well, now it seems so sad Everything he gave to us took all he had Then the days turned into years And the memories to black and white He grew cold like an old winter wind Blowing across my life Verse 3 The greatest words I never heard I guess I'll never hear The man I thought could never die He's been dead almost a year Oh, he was good at business But there was business left to do He never said he loved me Guess he thought I knew Lyricks to Sugarland Songs Contents Lyrics to Stay End of Contents Lyrics to Stay Contents [The Story Behind Sugarland’s “Stay” Lyrics to Stay End of Contents [The Story Behind Sugarland’s “Stay” Jennifer Nettles Inspired by Reba McEntire's in New England" Sugarland’s “Stay” is the first of the duo’s chart-topping songs to solely be written by singer Jennifer Nettles. Although she has aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanever lived the storyline of the song, she knew the subject of betrayal is something everyone could relate to, yet she wanted to tell the story from a different viewpoint. The song was written four years ago and inspired by Reba McEntire’s in New England, which was written from the perspective of a wife whose husband is cheating on her. Nettles knew countless songs written from that viewpoint but none from the other two people involved. She says most people don’t realize that even the person who is doing the cheating gets hurt as well. “Even though the person who is cheating might think he or she is getting away with something, they know they aren’t living their highest truth,” she says. “And they wouldn’t be in the situation if they were just happy-go-lucky in the first place. Nobody is happy in this situation.” Once she decided to write the song from the other woman’s perspective, Nettles was overwhelmed with emotions and says the song pretty much wrote itself. “You know, it was just in a couple of sittings on my couch,” she explains. “And once the first line came, ’I’ve been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall. I’ve been laying here, praying she won’t call,’ the story just unfolded.” Kristian Bush, the other half of Sugarland, remembers being blown away by the lyrics the first time he heard the song. “This is one of those first times when you become like Bob Dylan, where you are writing the character’s story rather than your story,” he notes. “And it’s a huge moment, and I am humbled around people who write like this. When I heard that song, I was like, ’Oh, my gosh. This is a heavy hitter of a writer here. This is a monster of a machine that is about to write songs.'” “Stay” was one of the first songs Nettles and Bush wanted recorded for Enjoy the Ride because they knew the song would resonate with fans. While headlining the recent CMT on Tour, the duo encountered several fans who gave them the strength to speak out in their own relationships. Nettles said she knows how hard it is to say something you know is for your own good but at the same time doesn’t feel good while you’re saying it. And in that moment of standing up for what is right for yourself, she says, you’ll be amazed at how powerful and liberated you feel. Bush says they often got odd looks from audience members wondering whether the song had anything to do with his and Nettles’ relationship. Bush is married and says his relationship with Nettles is a brother-sister relationship. His “big brother” instincts came out when they taped the video for “Stay,” as Nettles became overwhelmingly emotional. Bush recalls, “Immediately, I was just like, ’Everybody stop. Stop this! Y’all leave the room. Y’all made her cry.’ I was like a knuckle-draggin’ dad or a husband or something. I was really freaked out.” He went to console Nettles, who had stepped out of the room, and offered to send everyone home, saying they could continue taping the following day. But Nettles assured him she was fine and continued to cry during the next three takes, making it hard for Bush to watch. “About that time, I’m spent,” he said. “It’s not even noon and I’m emotionally drained. They had to tie me down to watch all of this happen. It was like watching someone torture your friend.” Lyrics to Stay I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall And I've been laying here praying, praying she won't call It's just another call from home And you'll get it and be gone And I'll be crying And I'll be begging you, baby Beg you not to leave But I'll be left here waiting With my heart on my sleeve Oh, for the next time we'll be here Seems like a million years And I think I'm dying What do I have to do to make you see She can't love you like me? Why don't you stay I'm down on my knees I'm so tired of being lonely Don't I give you what you need When she calls you to go There is one thing you should know We don't have to live this way Baby, why don't you stay You keep telling me, baby There will come a time When you will leave her arms And forever be in mine But I don't think that's the truth And I don't like being used and I'm tired of waiting It's too much pain to have to bear To love a man you have to share Why don't you stay I'm down on my knees I'm so tired of being lonely Don't I give you what you need When she calls you to go There is one thing you should know We don't have to live this way Baby, why don't you stay I can't take it any longer But my will is getting stronger And I think I know just what I have to do I can't waste another minute After all that I've put in it I've given you my best Why does she get the best of you So next time you find you wanna leave her bed for mine Why don't you stay I'm up off my knees I'm so tired of being lonely You can't give me what I need When she begs you not to go There is one thing you should know I don't have to live this way Baby, why don't you stay, yeah Lyricks to Tim McGraw Songs Contents Lyricks to Something Like That Lyrics to Highway Don't Care End of Contents Lyricks to Something Like That It was Labor Day weekend I was seventeen I bought a Coke and some gasoline And I drove out to the County Fair And when I saw her for the first time She was standing there in the ticket line And it all started right then and there Oh a sailor's sky made a perfect sunset And that's a day I'll never forget I had a barbecue stain on my white t-shirt She was killing me in that mini-skirt Skippin' rocks on the river by the railroad tracks he had a sun tan line and red lipstick I worked so hard for that first kiss A heart don't forget something like that It was five years later on a south-bound plane I was headed down to New Orleans To meet some friends of mine for the Mardi Gras When I heard a voice from the past Coming from a few rows back When I looked I couldn't believe just what I saw She said I bet you don't remember me And I said only every other memory I had a barbecue stain on my white t-shirt You were killing me in that mini-skirt Skippin' rocks on the river by the railroad tracks You had a sun tan line and red lipstick I worked so hard for that first kiss A heart don't forget something like that Like an old photograph Time can make a feeling fade But the memory of the first love Never fades away I had a barbecue stain on my white t-shirt She was killing me in that mini-skirt Skippin' rocks on the river by the railroad tracks She had a sun tan line and red lipstick I worked so hard for that first kiss A heart don't forget, no a heart don't forget I said a heart don't forget something like that Oh, not something like that Lyrics to Highway Don't Care On my Amazon Echo Tim McGraws words don't come in clear, and Taylor Switf singing her part, I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby, has no resemblance to those words.

seem If this is really happening Just let me go back to dream You're home Tell me I was dreaming That you didn't leave me here to cry You didn't say You don't love me anymore It was just my

it's hard for a poor boy to find the money He had dedication, he had the heart and soul Somehow knew he was born to play People say get a real job support your family 'Cause there's no future on the road your takin' But he never said a word, the dreamer just kept on Late at night you could hear him say, he'd say I'm gonna be somebody One of these days I'm gonna break these chains I'm gonna be somebody someday You can bet your hard-earned dollar I will The road was a struggle, took him ten years to the top And now he's number one on the stage and the radio Still he can't believe how people come from miles around When it seems like only yesterday when he would say I'm gonna be somebody One of these days I'm gonna break these chains I'm gonna be somebody someday You can bet your hard-earned dollar I will, yeah, yeah, yeah Bobby played his hometown, one full moon August night When He heard a voice in the front row singing It was a sandy-haired river boy with same ol' hungry eyes He looked up at Bobby and said Mmm, I'm gonna be somebody One of these days I'm gonna break these chains And I'm gonna be somebody someday You can bet your hard-earned dollar I will You know I will, yeah, yeah I'm gonna be somebody One of these days I'm gonna break these chains I'm gonna be somebody someday You can bet your hard-earned dollar I will, oh yeah You can bet your hard-earned

But I really got excited 'Bout the time I turned fifteen That's the first time I heard Waylon And old Bocephus sing They put some drive in their country That really turned me on Yeah, put some drive in your country Keep country drivin' on When the music gets you movin' You know that can't be wrong Every time I hear that outlaw stuff On my car radio It makes me wanna drive it Just as fast as it will go Put some drive in your country Let's keep country drivin' on We played some shows in Atlanta On Sunday afternoons The gigs were packed and I was nervous 'Cause I wanted folks to like my tunes The crowds were full of younger people They were all about my age So I turned and told the band Just before we walked on stage Put some drive in your country, fellas We turned those people on, oh, yes we did Yeah, put some drive in your country Keep country drivin' on When the music gets you dancin' You know that can't be wrong See, I made myself a promise When I was just a kid I'd mix southern rock and country And that's just what I did Put some drive in your country Keep country drivin' on Put some drive in your country Hey, let's keep country drivin' on When the music gets you movin' You

call my own Work my fingers to the blood and bone For a big disappointment when my paycheck comes Verse 2 If I only had a little I could do just fine I could put a down payment on some peace of mind But I'm hangin' at the end of a credit line Lord I'm just livin' on borrowed time Verse 3 My truck's financed through the union bank But I don't have enough to even fill the tank I'd take you for a drive girl but I just can't Cause the damned old motor won't even crank Verse 4 Our trailer's plenty big if we lived outside But I can't swing the payments on a double wide You better hold a place in that welfare line Cause m just livin' on borrowed time Chorus Well if it comes real cheap but it don't come free Then it stays off limits to a guy like me They say it brings trouble havin' money to

havin' money to burn I reckon that's a lesson I won't have to learn Verse 5 Yeah I bought my wife a little diamond ring Her mom said, "Hon, can't even see that thing" It'll be paid off when I'm sixty-five If I'm lucky enough to still be alive Verse 6 Even if I was to up and pass away My family doesn't have enough to dig my grave No tombstone just an old wood sign Sayin' 'he was just livin'

rice cookin' in the microwave Got a three day beard I don't plan to shave And it's a goofy thing but I just gotta say, hey I'm doin' alright Verse 2 Yeah I think I'll make me some homemade soup I'm feelin' pretty good and that's the truth It's neither drink nor drug induced, no I'm just doin' alright Chorus And it's a great day to be alive I know the sun's still shining When I close my eyes There's some hard times in the neighborhood But why can't every day be just this good Verse 3 It's been fifteen years since I left home And said good luck to every seed I'd sown Gave it my best and then I left it alone I hope they're doin' alright Verse 4 Now I look in the mirror and what do I see A lone wolf there starin' back at me Long in the tooth but harmless as can be Lord I guess he's doing alright Chorus And it's a great day to be alive I know the sun's still shining When I close my eyes There's some hard times in the neighborhood But why can't every day be just this good Bridge Sometimes it's lonely, sometimes it's only me And the shadows that fill this room Sometimes I'm falling, desperately calling Howlin' at the moon ah-ooh Instrumental break Verse 5 Well I might go get me a new tattoo Or take my old Harley for a three day cruise Might even grow me a fu man chu Chorus And it's a great day to be alive I know the sun's still shining When I close my eyes There's some hard times in the neighborhood But why can't every day be just this good Chorus And it's a great day to be alive I know the sun's still shining When I close my eyes There's some hard times in the

follow where it goes Trying to learn from what's behind you And never knowing what's in store Makes each day a constant battle Just to stay between the shores...and I will sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry Like a bird upon the wind These waters are my sky I'll never reach my destination If I never try So I will sail my vessel Til the river runs dry Too many times we stand aside And let the waters slip away Til what we put off 'til tomorrow Has now become today So don't you sit upon the shoreline And say you're satisfied Choose to chance the rapids And dare to dance the tide...yes I will sail my vessel Til the river runs dry Like a bird upon the wind These waters are my sky I'll never reach my destination If I never try So I will sail my vessel Til the river runs dry There's bound to be rough waters And I know I'll take some falls But with the good Lord as my captain I can make it through them all...yes I will sail my vessel Til the river runs dry Like a bird upon the

Lyricks to If Tomorrow Never Comes "If Tomorrow Never Comes" Sometimes late at night I lie awake and watch her sleeping She's lost in peaceful dreams So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark And the thought crosses my mind If I never wake up in the morning Would she ever doubt The way I feel about her in my heart If tomorrow never comes Will she know how much I loved her Did I try in every way to show her every day That she's my only one And if my time on earth were through And she must face this world without me Is the love I gave her in the past Gonna be enough to last If tomorrow never comes Cause I've lost loved ones in my life Who never knew how much I loved them Now I live with the regret That my true feelings for them never were revealed So I made a promise to myself To say each day how much she means to me And avoid that circumstance Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel Cause if tomorrow never comes Will she know how much I loved her Did I try in every way to show her every day That she's my only one And if my time on earth were through And she must face this world without me Is the love I gave her in the past Gonna be enough to last If tomorrow never comes So tell that someone that you love Just what you're thinking of If tomorrow never comes Lyrics to Callin' Baton Rouge I spent last night in the arms Of a girl in Louisiana And though I'm out on the highway My thoughts are still with her Such a strange combination of a woman and a child Such a strange situation stoppin' every hundred miles Callin' Baton Rouge A replay of

eyes are cold and restless His wounds have almost healed And she'd give half of Texas Just to change the way he feels She knows his love's in Tulsa And she knows he's gonna go Well it ain't no woman flesh and blood It's that damned old rodeo Well it's bulls and blood It's dust and mud It's the roar of a Sunday crowd It's the white in his knuckles The gold in the buckle He'll win the next go 'round It's boots and chaps It's cowboy hats It's spurs and latigo It's the ropes and the reins And the joy and the pain And they call the thing rodeo She does her best to hold him When his love comes to call But his need for it controls him And her back's against the wall And it's So long girl I'll see you When it's time for him to go You know the woman wants her cowboy Like he wants his rodeo Well it's bulls and blood It's dust and mud It's the roar of a Sunday crowd It's the white in his knuckles The gold in the buckle He'll win the next go 'round It's boots and chaps It's cowboy hats It's spurs and latigo It's the ropes and the reins And the joy and the pain And they call the thing rodeo It'll drive a cowboy crazy It'll drive the man insane And he'll sell off everything he owns Just to pay to play the game And a broken home and some broken bones Is all he'll have to show For all the years that he spent chasin' This dream they call rodeo Well it's bulls and blood It's dust and mud It's the roar of a Sunday crowd It's the white in his knuckles The gold in the buckle He'll win the next go 'round It's boots and chaps It's cowboy hats It's spurs and latigo It's the ropes and the reins And the joy and the pain And they call the thing rodeo It's the broncs and the blood It's the steers and the mud And they call the thing rodeo Lyrics to The Beaches Of Cheyenne They packed up all his buckles And shipped his saddle to his dad And by the way the house looked She must have took it bad The workers come on Monday To fix the door and patch the wall They say she just went crazy The night she got the call He was up in Wyoming And drew a bull no man could ride He promised her he'd turn out Well it turned out that he lied And their dreams that they'd been livin' In the California sand Died right there beside him in Cheyenne They she just went crazy Screamin' out his name She ran out into the ocean And to this day they claim That if you go down by the water You'll see her footprints in the sand Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne They never found her body Just her diary by her bed It told about the fight they had And the words that she had said When he told her he was ridin' She said then I don't give a damn If you never come back from Cheyenne They she just went crazy Screamin' out his name She ran out into the ocean And to this day they claim That you can go down by the water And see her footprints in the sand Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne Nobody can explain it Some say she's still alive They even claim they've seen her On the shoreline late at night So if you go down by the water You'll see her footprints in the sand Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne Every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne Lyrics to That Summer Verse 1] I went to work for her that summer A teenage kid so far from home She was a lonely widow woman Hell-bent to make it on her own We were a thousand miles from nowhere Wheat fields as far as I could see Both needing somethin' from each other Not knowin' yet what that might be Verse 2] Till she came to me one evenin' Hot cup of coffee and a smile In a dress that I was certain She hadn't worn in quite a while There was a difference in her laughter There was a softness in her eyes And on the air there was a hunger Even a boy could recognize Chorus] She had a need to feel the thunder To chase the lightnin' from the sky To watch a storm with all its wonder Ragin' in her lover's eyes She had to ride the heat of passion Like a comet burnin' bright Rushin' headlong in the wind, out where only dreams have been Burning both ends of the night Verse 3] That summer wind was all around me Nothin' between us but the night And when I told her that I'd never She softly whispered that's alright And then I watched her hands of leather Turn to velvet in a touch There's never been another summer When I have ever learned so much Chorus] We had a need to feel the thunder To chase the lightnin' from the sky To watch a storm with all its wonder Ragin' in each others eyes We had to ride the heat of passion Like a comet burnin' bright Rushin' headlong in the wind, out where only dreams have been Burnin' both ends of the night Verse 3] I often think about that summer The sweat, the moonlight and the lace And I have rarely held another When I haven't seen her face And every time I pass a wheat field And watch it dancin' with the wind Although I know it isn't real, I just can't help but feel Her hungry arms again Chorus] She had a need to feel the thunder To chase the lightnin' from the sky To watch a storm with all its wonder Ragin' in her lover's eyes She had to ride the heat of passion Like a comet burnin' bright Rushin' headlong in the wind, out where only dreams have been Burnin' both ends of the night Outro] Rushin' headlong in the wind, out where only dreams have been Burnin' both ends of the night Lyrics to Unanswered prayer Garth Brooks Verse 1 Just the other night, at a hometown football game My wife and I ran into my old high school flame And as I introduced them, the past came back to me And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be Verse 2 She was the one that I'd wanted for all times And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then I'd never ask for anything again Chorus Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs And just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers Verse 3 She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams And I could tell that time had changed me, in her eyes too it seemed We tried to talk about the old days, there wasn't much we could recall I guess the Lord knows what he's doin', after all Bridge And as she walked away, well, I looked at my wife And then and there I thanked the good Lord, for the gifts in my life Chorus Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs And just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered Some of God's greatest gifts, are all too often unanswered Some of God's greatest gifts, are unanswered prayers Lyrics to Shameless, could be Jaded Well I'm Shameless when it comes to loving you I'll do anything you want me to I'll do anything at all And I'm standing here for all the world to see Oh baby that's what's left of me Don't have very far to fall You know now I'm not a man who's ever been Insecure about the world I've been livin' in I don't break easy I have my pride But if you need to be satisfied I'm shameless, oh honey I don't have a prayer Every time I see you standin' there I go down upon my knees And I'm changin' swore I'd never compromise Oh but you convinced me otherwise I'll do anything you please You see in all my life I've never found What I couldn't resist what I couldn't turn down I could walk away from anyone I ever knew But I can't walk away from you I have never let anything have this much control over me I work too hard to call my life my own And I've made myself a world and it's worked so perfectly But it's your world now I can't refuse I've never had so much to lose Oh I'm shameless You know it should be easy for a man who's strong To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong I've never lost anything I've ever missed But I've never been in love like this It's out of my hands I'm shameless, I don't have the power now I don't want it anyhow So I got to let it go Oh I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be You make a total fool of me I just wanted to you to know Oh I'm shameless I just wanted you to know Oh I'm shameless Oh I'm down on my knees shameless Lyrics to Ain't going down til the sun comes up Barth Brooks Six o'clock on Friday evening. Momma doesn't know she's leaving 'Til she hears the screen door slamming, Rubber squealin', gears a-jamming. Local country station just a-blaring on the radio. Pick him up at seven and they're headin' to the rodeo. Momma's on the front porch screamin' out her warning, "Girl, you better get your red head Back in bed before the morning!" Nine o'clock the show is ending, But the fun is just beginning. She knows he's anticipating, But she's gonna keep him waiting. Grab a bite to eat and then they're heading to the honkey tonk, But loud crowds and line dancing just ain't what they really want. Drive out to the boondocks and park down by the creek. And where it's George Strait til real late, And dancing cheek to cheek. Ain't going down 'til the sun comes up. Ain't givin' in 'til they get enough. Going 'round the world in a pick-up truck. Ain't goin' down 'til the sun comes up. Ten 'til twelve is wine and dancing. Midnight starts the hard romancing. One o'clock that truck is rocking. Two is coming, still no stopping. Break to check the clock at three. They're right on where they wanna be. Four o'clock get up and going. Five o'clock that rooster's crowing. Ain't going down 'til the sun comes up. Ain't givin' in 'til they get enough. Going 'round the world in a pick-up truck. Ain't goin' down 'til the sun comes up. Six o'clock on Saturday. Her folks don't know he's on his way. The stalls are clean, the horses fed. They say she's grounded 'til she's dead. But here he comes around the bend, Slowing down. She's jumping in. Hey, mom, you're daughter's gone! And there they go again. Ain't going down 'til the sun comes up. Ain't givin' in 'til they get enough. Going 'round the world in a pick-up truck. Ain't goin' down 'til the sun comes up.

The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down Oh, Ruby, Don't take your love to town It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be Oh, Ruby, I still need some company It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed And the wants and needs of a woman your age, Ruby, I realized But it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not around Oh, Ruby, Don't take your love to town She's leaving now 'cause I just heard the slamming of the door The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground Oh, Ruby, Don't take your love to town Oh, Ruby, for God's sake turn around Lyrics to The Gambler On a warm summer's evening 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 The boredom overtook us And he began to speak He said, "Son, I've made a life Out of reading people's faces And knowin' what the 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, You gotta learn to play it right. 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 dealing's done. Every gambler knows That the secret to survivin' Is knowin' what to throw away And knowin' what to keep. Cause every hand's a winner, And every hand's a loser, And the best that you can hope for Is to die in your sleep." And when he 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 And in his final words I found an ace that I could keep 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 dealing's done You've got to know when to hold 'em When to hold 'em) Know when to fold 'em 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 dealing's done 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 dealing's done Lyrics to Clint Black songs Contents Lyrics to Easy For Me To Say, duet.

On a hot summer night, He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene, In letters 3ft high. And the whole town said that he should have used red, But it looked good to Charlene, In John Deere Green. They settled down on eighty acres, Raising sweet corn, kids, and tomatoes, They went together like a hand and a glove On a clear day, from there front yard, If you look and know what to look for, Off to the east you can still read His words of love In John Deere Green.

Was on a mission to drown her memory but I thought no way with all this ruckus. But after one round with Jose Cuervo I caught my boots tappin 'long with the beat. And after two rounds with Jose Cuervo That band was sounding pretty darn good to me. Then some stranger asked me dance And I revealed to her my two left feet. Said, Don't get me wrong I'm glad you asked But tonight's about me and an old memory. Then after three rounds with Jose Cuervo I let her lead me out on the floor And after four rounds with Jose Cuervo was showin' off moves never seen before. Well, around five or round six I forgot what I came to forget. After round seven or was it eight I bought a round for the whole dang place!

Well, I come from the country, and I know I ain't seen it all. But I heard that ocean's salty, and the stars, they sometimes fall. And that would not do justice to the way I feel for you. So I had to sing this song about all the things I knew. My love is deeper than the holler. Stronger than the river. Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill. My love is purer than the snowflakes, That fall in late December. And honest as a Robin on a springtime window sill. And longer than the song of a whippoorwill. From the back roads to the Broadway shows with a million miles between, There's a least a million love songs that people love to sing. And every one is different, and every one's the same. And this is just another way of sayin' the same thing. My love is deeper than the holler. Stronger than the river. Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill. My love is purer than the snowflakes, That fall in late December. And honest as a Robin on a spring-time window sill. And longer than the song of a whippoorwill. My love is deeper than the holler. Stronger than the river. Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill. My love is purer than the snowflakes, That fall in late December. And honest as a Robin on a spring-time window sill.

Lyrics to They Call Me Country Jamey Johnson Lyrics to Lead me home Jamy Johnson End of Contents Lyrics to The Dollar Daddy hugs his little man Says, son I've got to go And he pulls out of the drive and disappears As they walk back in the house The young boy asks his mama Where does daddy go when he leaves here Mama tells her little man Your daddy's got a job And when he goes to work they pay him for his time Well the young boy gets to thinking And he heads up to his bedroom And comes running back with a quarter and four dimes And says, mama, how much time will this buy me Is it enough to take me fishing or throw a football in the street If I'm a little short then how much more does daddy need To spend some time with me The young boy tells his mama Now I know daddy's busy Cause most times when he gets home it's dark outside But tell him I've got me some pennies Saved up from the tooth fairy And I keep em, in my piggy bank and I believe there's thirty-five And mama, how much time will that buy me Is it enough to take me camping in a tent down by the creek If I'm a little short then how much more does daddy need To spend some time with me Mama, how much time will this buy me Is it enough for just an afternoon a day or a whole week If I'm a little short then how much more does daddy need To spend some time with me Mama takes her little man Sets him on her lap And starts dialing up some numbers on the phone She says, daddy come home early You don't have to chase that dollar Cause your little man has got one here at home Lyrics to They Call Me Country Jamey Johnson They Call Me Country Lyrics Verse 1 I'm a Texas cowboy I wear a faded hat I'm an Alabama plowboy Got a leather tan back I'm a Louisiana Cajun man I call a bayou stream home I'm a Mississippi blues man Just tryin' to make it on my own Chorus You can call me different I'm still a good man And you can call me redneck I've been told that I am , and I guess I am And maybe I don't fit in, in your point of view I can see your a rose in a bed of thorns in the mornin' dew They call me country Now how about you Verse 2 I can ride a bush hog From sun up 'til sundown And I can ride a rodeo Let em' throw me to the ground I can raise holy hell On a Saturday night And make it to the first church bell That's how a country boy survives Chorus You can call me different I'm still a good man And you can call me redneck I've been told that I am, and I guess I am Now maybe I don't fit in, in your point of view I can see your a rose in a bed of thorns in the mornin' dew They call me country Now how about you

Teardrops falling down a mountainside Many times I've been here Many times I've cried We used to be so happy When we were in love High on a mountain of love. Night after night I've been standing here alone Weeping my heart out to cold gray dawn Praying that you're lonely and you'll come here too Hoping just by chance that I get a glimpse of you Trying hard to find you Somewhere I love High on a mountain of love. A mountain of love A mountain of love You should be ashamed We used to be a mountain of love But you just changed your name Way down below there's a half a million people Somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple Inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers Wedding bells are ringing and they should have been ours That's why I'm so lonely My dreams gone above High on a mountain of love.

That Cigarette, Willie Nelson End of Contents [Lyrics to Smoke Smoke Smoke That Cigarette, Phil Harris Originally sung by Phil Harris Now I'm a fella with a heart of gold, The ways of a gentleman, I've been told. The kind of a guy that wouldn't even harm a flea But if me and a certain character met That guy that invented that cigarette I'd murder that son of a gun in the first degree. Well not because I don't smoke myself I don't reckon they'll harm your health I've smoked all my life and I'm not dead yet. But nicotine slaves are all the same, At a pettin' party or a poker game, Everything's must stop while they smoke a cigarette. Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! that cigarette. Puff! Puff! Puff! And if you smoke yourself to death, Tell Saint Peter at the golden gate That you hate to make him wait, But you got to have another cigarette. Now in a game of chance the other night, Old Dame Fortune was doing me right. The kings and queens just kept on comin' round I played 'em hard and I bet 'em high But my bluff didn't work on a certain guy He kept on raisin' and layin' that money down Yeah he'd raise me, and I'd raise him. I sweated blood, gotta sink or swim; He finally called, but he didn't raise the bet. I said aces full, pal, How 'bout you? He said well I-I'm gonna tell you in a minute or two But right now I got to have a cigarette. Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! that cigarette. Puff! Puff! Puff! And if you smoke yourself to death, Tell Saint Peter at the golden gate, That you hates to make him wait, But you gotta have another cigarette. Now the other night I had a date With the cutest little gal in the 48 states, A high bred up-town fancy little dame. She said she loved me, And it seemed to me That things were about like they oughtta be. o Hand in hand we strolled down lover's lane. She was oh so far from a cake of ice, Our smoochin' party was going nice, So help me Hannah I think I'd've been there yet But I'd give her a kiss and a little squeeze And she said, "Phil, would you excuse me please, But I got to have a cigarette." Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! that cigarette Puff! Puff! Puff! And if you puff yourself to death, Tell Saint Peter at the golden gate, That you hate to make him wait, But you got to have another cigarette.

Have you heard this story of the Hot Rod Race When Fords and Lincolns was settin' the pace That story is true, I'm here to say I was drivin' that Model A It's got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up That Model A Body makes it look like a pup It's got eight cylinders; uses them all It's got overdrive, just won't stall With a 4-barrel carb and a dual exhaust With 4.11 gears you can really get lost It's got safety tubes, but I ain't scared The brakes are good, tires fair Pulled out of San Pedro late one night The moon and the stars was shinin' bright We was drivin' up Grapevine Hill Passing cars like they was standing still All of a sudden in a wink of an eye A Cadillac sedan passed us by I said, "Boys, that's a mark for me!" By then the taillight was all you could see Now the fellas was ribbin' me for bein' behind So I thought I'd make the Lincoln unwind Took my foot off the gas and man alive I shoved it on down into overdrive Wound it up to a hundred-and-ten My speedometer said that I hit top end My foot was glued, like lead to the floor That's all there is and there ain't no more Now the boys all thought I'd lost my sense And telephone poles looked like a picket fence They said, "Slow down! I see spots The lines on the road just look like dots Took a corner; sideswiped a truck Crossed my fingers just for luck My fenders was clickin' the guardrail posts The guy beside me was white as a ghost Smoke was comin' from out of the back When I started to gain on that Cadillac Knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass Don't you know by then we'd be low on gas We had flames comin' from out of the side Feel the tension.

She glared at me over her coffee cup. She said, "Where you been?" So I thoguht real hard and said, "I fell asleep in that hammock in the yard." She said, "You don't know it boy, but you just blew it." And I said, "Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it. That's my story. Oh, that's my story. Well, I ain't got a witness, and I can't prove it, but that's my story and I'm stickin' to it." I got that deer-in-the-headlight look. She read my face like the cover of a book and said, "Don't expect me to believe all that static, 'cause just last week I threw that hammock in the attic." My skin got so thin so you could see right through it, and I stuttered, "Well that's my story and I'm stickin t-t-to it. That's my story. Well, that's my story. I ain't got a witness, and I can't prove it, but that's my story and I'm stickin' to it." You know the time comes when a wise man knows the best thing that he can do is just look her in the eye and beg for mercy and face the bitter truth... Well honey me and the boys played cards all night. There wasn't no hanky-panky, not a woman in sight. I know I should called, and baby I.. I'm really sorry, but get a cellular phone and then you won't have to worry. You know how much I love ya, darling, and I'm ready to prove it. And that's my story and I'm sticking to it. That's my story, oh, that's my story. Well I ain't got a witness and ya know I can't prove it. But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. You know I ain't gonna do a thing darling unless you approve it. And that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Lyrics to Fishin' In The Dark Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Lazy yellow moon comin' up tonight shinin' thru the trees, Crickets are singin' and lightning bugs are floatin on the breeze Baby get ready..... Across the field where the creek turns back by the ole stone road I'm gonna take you to a special place that nobody knows Baby get ready.....OooooooOooo You and me going fishing in the dark, Lying on our backs and counting the stars Where the cool grass grows. Down by the river in the full moon light, We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night Just movin' slow Stayin' the whole night thru, feels so good to be with you... Spring is almost over and the summer's comin' the days are gettin' long Waited all winter for the time to be right, just to take you along Baby get ready And it don't matter if we sit forever and the fish don't bite Jump in the river and cool ourselves from the heat of the night Baby get ready.....OoooooooOoo Lyrics to But some girls do Sawyer Brown She turned up her nose as she walked by my Cadillac. From the corner of my eye I saw you and you laughed. You were sittin' on the swing on your front porch, Paintin' your nails like you were bored. And you yelled, "She was sure impressed with you." Well I ain't first class but I ain't white trash, I'm wild and a little crazy too. Some girls don't like boys like me. Aww, but some girls do. I yelled and asked if you would like a ride. When we pulled out of your yard, I bald a tire. You was laughin' at me, I was doin' James Dean. You was the prettiest girl I ever seen. When you rolled your eyes and twirled my pink fur dice. Well, I ain't first class but I ain't white trash. I'm wild and a little crazy too. Some girls don't like boys like me, Aww, but some girls do. Well good 'ol boys don't get no breaks And the rich boys think they got what it takes. But there's someone for each of us they say. Well, I ain't first class but I ain't white trash, I'm wild and a little crazy too. Some girls don't like boys like me, Aww, but some girls do. Well, I ain't first class but I ain't white trash, I'm wild and a little crazy too. Some girls don't like boys like me, Aww, but some girls do. I said some girls do. Ya know some girls do, Like boys like me. Ya know some girls do.

Tryin to find the courage to ask her out Was like tryin' to get oil from a water spout. What she would've said, I can't say. I never did ask then she moved away. I learned something from my blue-eyed girl: sink or swim, you gotta give it a whirl. Chorus Life's a dance, you learn as you go. Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow. Don't worry 'bout what you don't know, life's a dance, you learn as you go. The longer I live the more I believe You do have to give if you wanna receive. There's a time to listen, a time to talk. And you might have to crawl even after you walk. Had sure things blow up in my face, Seen the longshot win the race. rBeen knocked down by the slammin' door.

End of Contents [Lyrics The song has many lyrical variations, though usually each stanza follows a standard form, with one sentence that differs from one stanza to the next. The song often begins: Gonna lay down my sleepy head Down by the riverside (3×) Gonna lay down my burden Down by the riverside With the chorus: I ain't gonna study war no more Study war no more Ain't gonna study war no more Other lines that can appear in stanzas, in place of "Gonna lay down my burden", include: Gonna lay down my sword and shield Gonna stick my sword in the golden sand Gonna try on my long white robe Gonna try on my starry crown Gonna put on my golden shoes Gonna talk with the Prince of Peace Gonna shake hands around the world Gonna cross the river Jordan Gonna climb upon that mountain Gonna climb the road to heaven [Meaning The song's central image is of casting off negativity and aggression, and putting on spiritual garb, at the side of a river before crossing it. The image has several meanings: it refers to baptism, which in the Southern Baptist tradition usually involves wearing a white robe and being submerged in a body of water. It also refers to ascending to heaven after death, using the metaphor of the River Jordan, which in the Old Testament was the final passage before the Hebrews entered the Promised Land after their years in the desert. As with many Negro spirituals, the biblical imagery can also be read as a hidden allusion to escaping slavery, with the river representing the Ohio River, which was a border between states where slavery was allowed and prohibited before the American Civil War. The refrain of "ain't gonna study war no more" is a reference to a quotation found in the Old Testament: "nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." This quote occurs twice in the Bible, Isaiah 2:4, and Micah 4:3, and is part of the swords to ploughshares motif.

[Parodies and alternate lyrics The song was the basis of an Allan Sherman parody called "Don't Buy the Liverwurst". The tune, "Down by the Riverside" was also used in a McDonald's 1960s jingle, "McDonald's Is My Kind of Place". In episode 72 of the animated television series Animaniacs, this song was parodied as, "U.N. Me" about the United Nations Headquarters, and was later released on their 2nd album, Yakko's World. Also the UK on some local radio stations, (namely Mix 107), a song about eco-friendly travel choices (i.e. leaving the car for one day a week) would air during commercial breaks which would be a parody of "Down By The Riverside". JibJab also used the melody in a song about the year 2012 in review, (called "2012: The End Is Here!"). An episode of Liv & Maddie had Liv singing a song about her musical group with senior citizens, "The Golden Chords, " at a retirement home, to the tune of this song.

The song is believed to have been composed by slaves in the first half of the 19th century. Some references suggest that it was copyrighted by Jay Roberts in 1865. In 1882, the song was published in Jubilee Songs by M. G. Slayton and in A Collection of Revival Hymns and Plantation Melodies by Marshall W. Taylor. The first recorded version was by Harrod's Jubilee Singers, on Paramount Records Number 12116 in 1922, though some sources[who?] suggest 1924. The Online 78 Discography entry for this record credits Jay Roberts as the author. Later recordings include those by Paul Robeson[4] (1925), Mahalia Jackson[4] (1958), Clara Ward, Laurie London, Hugh Laurie (2011) and Elvis Presley (1961) among many others. In 1930, Marshall Bartholomew created his arrangement of the song. Composer and conductor Morton Gould used the song as the basis for his 1941 composition for concert band, Jericho Rhapsody Ralph Flanagan adapted it under the title "Joshua". Ralph Flanagan and His Orchestra recorded the spiritual in New York City on March 1, 1950. It was released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-3724 (in USA)[7] and by EMI on the His Master's Voice label as catalog numbers B 9938 and IP 604. Bing Crosby included the song in a medley on his album 101 Gang Songs (1961) Early published versions include some parts in dialect, such as "fit" for "fought". The lyrics allude to the biblical story of the Battle of Jericho, in which Joshua led the Israelites against Canaan (Joshua 6:15-21).[1] However, like those of many other spirituals, the words may also be alluding to eventual escape from slavery – in the case of this song, "And the walls came tumblin' down."[8][9] The lively melody and rhythm also provided energy and inspiration.[10] Critic Robert Cummings wrote: "The jaunty, spirited theme hardly sounds like the product of the pre-Civil War era, and would not sound out of place in a ragtime or even jazz musical from the early 20th century. The closing portion of the tune, sung to the words quoted above, is its most memorable portion: the notes plunge emphatically and impart a glorious sense of collapse, of triumph."

[Star Spangled Banner Contents How the Star Spangled Banner became our National Anthem Lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner, note, there's 4 verses, we normally sing only the first verse. End of Contents How the Star Spangled Banner became our National Anthem History of "The Star Spangled Banner" The words of "The Star Spangled Banner" were first written on September 14, 1814 by Francis Scott Key, as a poem titled, "The Defence of Fort McHenry." Francis Scott Key, a lawyer and an amateur poet, was being detained on a British warship during the British naval bombardment of Baltimore's Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. When the bombardment subsided and Key, witnessed that Fort McHenry was still flying its huge American flag, he began writing his poem. Historical Note: This flag was truly huge! It measured 42 by 30 feet! Key recommended that his poem be sung as a song to the popular British tune, "To Anacreon in Heaven.". "To Anacreon in Heaven.", was a popular song tune, sung in pubs, (tavern), in England. It soon became known as "The Star Spangled Banner." "The Star Spangled Banner" was published in a number of newspapers at the time, but by the Civil War it had become one of the most popular patriotic songs of the United States. By the late 19th century, "The Star Spangled Banner" had become the official song of the U.S. military, but it wasn't until 1931 that the United States made "The Star Spangled Banner" the official national anthem of the country. Interestingly, it was Robert L. Ripley's Believe It or Not that spurred the interest of the American people to demand "The Star Spangled Banner" to become the official national anthem. On November 3, 1929, Ripley ran a panel in his syndicated cartoon, stating that "Believe It or Not, America has no national anthem." Americans were shocked and wrote five million letters to Congress demanding Congress proclaim a national anthem. Lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner, note, there's 4 verses, we normally sing only the first verse. Contents First verse Second verse Third verse Forth verse End of Contents First verse O say can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there; O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? Second verse On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines in the stream: 'Tis the star-spangled banner, O long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Third verse And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, A home and a country, should leave us no more? Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Forth verse O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved homes and the war's desolation. Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.' And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave [Lyrics to God Bless America Contents Spoken Introduction: Verse End of Contents Spoken Introduction: "While the storm clouds gather far across the sea Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free Let us all be grateful for a land so fair As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer.

Eddie Cantor also added it to his stage set. In 1919, an early jazz band, Jim Europe's 369th Infantry Band frequently performed this song in 1919 after arriving back in New York. They recorded a version for Pathé Records and it became a hit for that year. Also, Nora Bayes and Billy Murray recorded it for Columbia that same year. Like many World War I songs, it was sung by soldiers in World War II.

[Burns' original Scots verse Lyric to auld lang syne [English translation [My Lyricks End of Contents [The song, , was derives from a 1788 Scots poem by Robert Burns; now set to the tune of a traditional folk song. [Burns never intended his work to act as a farewell to the old year; it's a piece which partially reproduces, partially originally pens an older folk tune. He originally sent the piece to the Scots Musical Museum with a note: "The following song, an old song, of the olden times, and which has never been in print, nor even in manuscript until I took it down from an old man." The phrase "for auld lang syne" essentially boils down to "for (the sake of) old times". It's a work which essentially calls for the preservation of our oldest, dearest friendships; perhaps observed in the reflective quality of New Year's Eve itself. A time when people come together to recall past joys and sorrows, specifically those spent in each other's company.
