Tell my mother
Not to grieve
That her son has
Got to leave
Uncle Sam has called me to his army
Got to leave here on that ‘fore day train
But it won’t be long
(But it won’t be long)
No it won’t be long
(No it won’t be long)
Tell my darlin’ I’ll come home
Some old day
Want you to meet me
At the station
Bring along dear
A little extra change
I done got my fool self in trouble
Got to leave here on that ‘fore day train
But it won’t be long
(But it won’t be long)
No it won’t be long
(No it won’t be long)
Tell my darlin’ I’ll come home
Some old day
Tell my mother
Not to grieve
That her son has
Got to leave
Uncle Sam has called me to his army
Got to leave here on that fo’ day train

Over the Sea
01:57
|

|
I have a home
No more I’ll roam
Neath that fair dome
Over the sea
No night is there
Skies always fair
No pain nor care
Over the sea
All will be well
Glad praises swell
With loved ones dwell
Over the sea
I have a home
No more I’ll roam
Neath that fair dome
Over the sea

Kentucky Home
03:23
|
|||
|
The moon shines bright on my old Kentucky home
And I know someday I'll go back home again.
When we came to this old town
City folks just put us down
But I knew it wouldn't last forever
Soon as we had saved enough
Gonna catch that greyhound bus
Headin' south, back to my Kentucky home.
City streets and city lights
I worked days, Joe worked nights
Not the life we had in mind
Payments due and kids to feed
Hardly ever made ends meet
But we kept on dreamin' my Kentucky home.
The moon shines bright on my old Kentucky home
And I know someday I'll go back home again.
Years have come and years have gone
That old bus keeps leavin' town
Joe ain't workin' much these days
Got his spirit long ago
But they'll never get his soul
That was give to him by my Kentucky home.
And I'm still checkin' in this store
My back is tired, my feet are sore
But a look or word will bring to mind
Like the lines upon my face
Memories deeper with each day
Seems as close as I can get, Kentucky home.
The moon shines bright on my old Kentucky home
And I know someday I'll go back home again.

Are You Lonesome Tonight
03:20
|

|
Are you lonesome tonight do you miss me I say
Are you sorry we drifted apart
Does your memories cling to that bright summer day
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart
Like the rose on the vine I am clinging to you
As I did when we drifted apart
I am wishing you back to that little shack
Where I kissed you and called you sweetheart
Does the chair in your parlor seem empty and bare
Do you miss me and wish I was there
Is your heart filled with pain shall I come back again
Tell me darling are you lonesome tonight
Are you lonesome tonight do you miss me I say
Are you sorry we drifted apart
Does your memories cling to that bright summer day
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart
I have counted the days I've counted the nights
I've counted the months and the years
I have counted on you since we drifted apart
Tell me darling are you lonesome tonight
Are you lonesome tonight do you miss me I say
Are you sorry we drifted apart
Does your memories cling to that bright summer day
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart

One and Only
02:51
|
|||
|
If you think you were the one and only
You left behind a trail of sorrow too.
If I’m wrong or right does the difference really matter
Don’t take me back even if I still love you.
With an empty heart there’s a different kind of lonesome
And the picture in my hand feels like a weight of stone
And I know that your caress would take me to my knees
But I move away from the one that I love best.
Now the blues they walk around my heart that’s mourning
Well we had our fuss and fight and I know it’s time to go
If you call me back someday to say the pain’s too hard to bear
I couldn’t love enough will be the last words that you hear.

Wonderful World Outside
03:26
|
|||
|
In this dreary hall of darkness
These doors will never swing wide
But will be my home forever
It’s a wonderful world outside
The jury says I'm guilty
The judge said ninety and nine
The warden says no chance for a pardon
To your wonderful world outside
I knew not where she would leave me
I didn’t know of a husband at home
The last words he said before i shot him
You’re not the man I've been watching for so long

I'll Be There
02:15
|
|||
|
There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me
Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
Never have seen a river that's too wide
There ain't no jail tight enough to lock me
Ain't no man big enough to stop me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
So love me, if you're ever going to love me
Never have seen a road too rough to ride
There ain't no chain strong enough to hold me
Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
There ain't no rope tight enough to bind me
Look for me, honey, you will find me
Any old time, you’re ready with your charm
I'll be there ready and a-waiting
There won't be any hesitating
I'll be here if you ever want me in your arms
So love me, if you're ever going to love me
Never have seen a road too rough to ride
There ain't no chain strong enough to hold me
Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side

Sweeter Day
02:49
|
|||
|
Brightest star in darkest night
The sparkle in the morning light
Music in a mountain stream
Brings you back to me.
Wind’s soft sigh among the leaves
Sweetest kisses on my cheek
Close my eyes so I can see
Brings you back to me.
Though sorrow parts us now
And oceans bar the way
Tho sorrow parts us now
There’ll come a sweeter day.
Children’s faces, children’s hands
Distant voices, distant lands
Love that keeps my spirit free
Brings you back to me.
Earthly bonds have broken free
You are never far from me
And every precious memory
Brings you back to me.

Trials troubles tribulations
Such as never been before
When the angels pour upon us
Their vials of dread forever more.
When the fire comes down from heaven
And the blood shall fill the sea
I’ll be carried home by Jesus
There forever with him be.
The beast with horns will come upon you
One with 7 one with 10
They will cry unto the mountain
They’ll pray to die but cannot win.
The mark must be upon your forehead
These worldly goods you then can buy
Depart from me I never knew you
You’ll hear my blessed Savior cry.

Little Boy Loser
02:46
|
|||
|
Grew up with nothin, few friends I had
I found no good, rolled in with the bad
It’s a sad, sad story and a hard luck show
But I keep on moving and I need a little help you know.
Let me tell you good people when I come this way
Will you give me an ear or the time of day
Can’t keep from asking a kinder face I see
Will I live in a world that could be more trouble free.
A little boy loser I don’t know what to do
I’ve got my reasons for feeling this blue
My pockets are empty, a pair of shoes worn down
Gonna need your hand before I leave this hurting town.
There’s a jailhouse waiting just waiting for me
I got no job and no family
They beat me and kept me on the road so long
This world is rocky when you don’t know right from wrong.
Grew up with nothin, few friends I had
I found no good, rolled in with the bad
It’s a sad, sad story and a hard luck show
But I keep on moving and I need a little help you know.
Find me a loser and don’t know what to do
I’ve got my reasons for feeling this blue
My pockets are empty, a pair of shoes worn down
Gonna need your hand before I leave this hurting town.
Gonna need your hand before I leave this hurting town.

Six More Miles
03:15
|
|||
|
Oh the rain is slowly fallin’
And my heart is so sore
Six more miles and leave my darling
Never on this earth to meet no more.
Six more miles to the graveyard
Six more miles long and sad
Six more miles and I leave my darling
Leave the best friend I ever had.
Oh I hear the train a-comin’
Bringin’ my darling back home
Six more miles to the graveyard
And I’ll be left here all alone.
Leave her in that lonely churchyard
Leave my darling all alone
Now I’m sad my heart is crying
As I wander through this life alone.

Poor Little Orphaned Boy
03:29
|
|||
|
My mother died when I was young
My sisters they were sad
They lay their hands upon my head
And taught me how to pray
So now my mother she's gone to rest
In the land of purest joy
And I wonder if she thinks of me
Her poor little orphan boy
When I was only two years old
I never shall forget
A parting kiss she gave to me
I sometimes feel it yet
When I was sick and every hour
She watched me as I lay
And with her kind and gentle hand
She soothed me tenderly
So now I press this world alone
Her love with me shall stay
And from the throne above the skies
Her smile shall rest on me

Troublesome Waters
04:39
|

|
Troublesome waters are blacker than night
Hiding from view the harbor’s bright lights
Out on the ocean I seem as a speck
Awful sea monsters are waiting my wreck.
CHO:
Gently I feel the touch of your hand
Guiding my boat to that better land
Leading the way to heaven’s bright shore
Troublesome waters I’m fearing no more.
Troublesome waters around me now roll
Rocking my boat and tempting my soul
Loved ones are drifting and living in sin
Treacherous whirlpools are pulling them in.
Sin waves are dashing and rolling so high
Over the noise you can hear my sad cry
Lord I am trusting, have mercy on me
Steady my life boat while I am at sea.

Just keep waiting 'til the good times come, Baby Rose Baby Rose
When we get together we'll be going some, what a happy wedding day
Tho' I haven't money for a grand old time
What's the use in money in a sunny clime
When those wedding bells are ringing good luck comes to me
My baby rose, my baby rose, nobody knows
I'm crazy to stick along no matter where she goes
That breeze that blows tells me a rose
There's not a thing I wouldn't do if she asked me to
For my baby rose
Save up every kiss and every loving hug, Baby Rose Baby Rose
Snuggle like the dickens when your honey comes
When my daily work is done
Soon I'll have money 'nough to buy a ring
Prophesy my love and do the proper thing
When those wedding bells are ringing good luck comes to me
