Blue
Moon of Kentucky
Blue
moon
Blue
moon
Blue
moon, keep shining bright
Blue
moon, keep on shining bright
You're
gonna bring me back my baby tonight
Blue
moon, keep shining bright
I
said blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine
on the one that's gone and left me blue
I
said blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine
on the one that's gone and left me blue
Well
it was on a moonlit nigh, stars shining bright
Whisper
on high, love said goodbye
Blue
moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine
on the one that's gone and left me blue
(X2)
Shine
on the one that's gone and left me blue (X2)
Tennessee
Waltz
I
was waltzing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz
When
an old friend I happened to see
Introduced
him to my loved one
And
while they were dancing
My
friend stole my sweetheart from me
I
remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now
I know just how much I have lost
Yes,
I lost my little darling the night they were playing
That
beautiful Tennessee Waltz
(X2)
That
beautiful Tennessee Waltz
Black
Coffee
I'm
feeling mighty lonesome
Haven't
slept a wink
I
walk the floor and watch the door
And
in between I drink
Black
coffee
Love's
a hand-me-down brew
I'll
never know a Sunday in this weekday room
I'm
talking to the shadows
One
o'clock to four
And,
Lord, how slow the moments go
When
all I do is pour
Black
coffee
Since
the blues caught my eye
I'm
hanging out on Monday
My
Sunday dream's too dry
Now
a man is born to go a-lovin'
A
woman's born to weep and fret
To
stay at home and tend her oven
And
drown her past regrets
In
coffee and cigarettes
I'm
moody all the morning
And
I'm mourning all the night
And
in between it's nicotine
And
not much heart to fight
Black
coffee
Feeling
low as the ground
It's
driving me crazy
This
waiting for my baby
To
maybe come around
Stormy
Weather
Don't
know why there's no sun up in the sky
Stormy
weather
Since
my man and I ain't together
Keeps
raining all the time
Life
is bare
Gloom
and misery everywhere
Stormy
weather
I
just can't get my poor self together
So
weary all the time
Since
he went away the blues walked in and met me
If
he stays away, old rockin' chair's gonna get me
All
I do is pray the Lord above will let me walk in the sun once more
I
can't go on
Everything
I had is gone
Stormy
weather
Since
my man and I ain't together
Keeps
raining all the time
Since
he went away the blues walked in and met me
If
he stays away, old rockin' chair's gonna get me
All
I do is pray the Lord above will let me walk in the sun once more
I
can't go on
Everything
I had is gone
Stormy
weather
Since
my man and I ain't together
Keeps
raining all the time
Keeps
raining all the time
Oh
Bury Me Not
Oh
bury me not on the lone prairie
Where
the wild coyotes will howl over me
Where
the rattlesnakes hiss and the wind blows free
Oh
bury me not on the lone prairie
They
heeded not his dying prayer and they buried him there, on the lone
prairie
In
a little box just six by three, his bones now rot on the lone prairie
Just
A Closer Walk With Thee
Just
a closer walk with thee
Grant
it, Jesus, is my plea
Daily
walking close to thee
Let
it be, dear Lord, let it be
I
am weak and thou art strong
Jesus,
keep me from all wrong
I'll
be satisfied as long as I walk
Let
me walk close to thee
Just
a closer walk with thee
Grant
it, Jesus, is my plea
Daily
walking close to thee
Let
it be, dear Lord, let it be
Through
this world of toil and snare (despair?) <--- not too sure what she
says
If
I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who
with me, my burden shares?
None
but thee, dear Lord, none but thee
Just
a closer walk with thee
Grant
it, Jesus, is my plea
Daily
walking close to thee
Let
it be, dear Lord, let it be
Let
it be, dear Lord, let it be
Shine
On Harvest Moon
The
night was mighty dark so you could hardly see
For
the moon refused to shine
Couple
sitting underneath the willow tree
For
love, they pined
Little
May was kinda 'fraid of darkness
So
she says "I guess I'll go."
Boy
began to sigh, looked up to the sky
Told
the sky his little tale of woe
So
shine on
Shine
on harvest moon
Up
in the sky
I
ain't had no lovin' since January, February, June or July
Snow
time ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon
So
shine on
Shine
on harvest moon for me and my gal
Snow
time ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon
So
shine on
Shine
on harvest moon for me and my gal
Trouble
In the Fields
Baby,
I know that we got trouble in the fields
And
the bankers swarm like locusts out there, turning away our yields
And
the trains roll by our silo, silver in the rain
Leave
our pockets full of nothing but these dreams of the golden grain
I
can see the folks lined up downtown at the station
They're
all buying their tickets out and they're talking a Great Depression
Our
parents had their hard times fifty years ago
When
they stood out in these empty fields, in dust as deep as snow
And
all this trouble in our fields
If
this rain can fall these wounds can heal
They'll
never take our native soil
And
if we sell that new John Deere then we'll work these crops with
sweat and tears
You'll
be the mule, I'll be the plow
Come
harvest time, we'll work it out
There's
still a lot of love here in these troubled fields
There's
a book up on the shelf about the dust bowl days
There's
a little bit of you and a little bit of me in the photos on every
page
Our
children live in the city and they rest upon our shoulders
They
don't want the rain to fall or the weather to get colder
And
all this trouble in our fields
If
this rain can fall these wounds can heal
They'll
never take our native soil
And
if we sell that new John Deere and then we'll work these crops with
sweat and tears
You'll
be the mule, I'll be the plow
Come
harvest time we'll work it out
There's
still a lot of love here in these troubled fields
You'll
be the mule, I'll be the plow
Come
harvest time we'll work it out
There's
still a lot of love here in these troubled fields
Your
Cheatin' Heart
Your
cheatin' heart
Will
make you weep
You'll
cry and cry and try to sleep
But
sleep won't come the whole night through
Your
cheatin' heart
Will
tell on you
When
tears come down like falling rain
You'll
toss around and call my name
You'll
walk the floor the way I do
Your
cheatin' heart
Will
tell on you
Your
cheatin' heart
Will
pine someday
You'll
crave the love you threw awa
The
time will come when you'll be blue
Your
cheatin' heart
Will
tell on you
When
tears come down like falling rain
You'll
toss around and call my name
You'll
walk the floor the way I do
Your
cheatin' heart
Will
tell on you
Summertime
Summertime
and the living is easy
Fish
are jumping and the cotton is high
Oh,
your Daddy's rich and your Momma's good looking
So
hush, little baby, don't you cry
One
of these mornings, you're gonna rise up singing
Then
you'll spread your wings and you'll take the sky
But
till that morning there's nothing can harm you
With
Daddy and Mommy standing by
(X2)
Sentimental
Journey
Gonna
take a sentimental journey
Gonna
set my heart at ease
Gonna
take a sentimental journey
To
renew old memories
Got
a bag, I got my reservation
Spent
each dime I could afford
Like
a child in wild anticipation
Long
to hear that "All aboard!"
Seven,
that's the time we leave, at seven
I'll
be waiting up for heaven
Counting
every mile of railroad track that takes me back
Never
thought my heart could be so yearning
Why
did I decide to roam?
Gotta
take a sentimental journey
Sentimental
journey home
(X2)
