As I went out one morning. To breathe the air around Tome Paine's. I spied the fairest damsel. That ever did walk in chains. . I offered her my hand. She took me by the arm.
Grandma is a rhino. My brother is a dog. I can tell it's animal day. 'cause my best friend just turned into a frog. Mommy is a monkey. My girlfriend is a horse.
With an act of faith, all the mountains would move. And the rain would stop all around. With an act of faith, all the dogs would stop barking. And we could move out of this town.
Remember me when it's over. Remember me when it's done. Remember me when it's rainin'. Remember mecci'm the one. . And if somewhere I let you down. Or ever made you blue.
After the storm. We'll all need to dry out. And the forecast will be. Sunny and fair. After the storm. . We'll have a big parade. And the smell of victory will be in the air.
Ringin' on the telephone, pick it up and say. What's a man to do with all the trouble 'round today?. Heard it takes a worried man to sing a worried song.
Sue, turn out the lights. It's time to close upccwe're through. Gotta clear it out. So let's drink up, it's past two. Girl, don't push 'em out. They can walk out on their own.
She's gone, but not for long.. She made her choices, and they were wrong.. So struggle, all you want,. 'Cause they won't hear you, they don't care.. .
I was a stranger in the city. Out of town were the people I knew. I had that feeling of self-pity. What to do, what to do, what to do. The outlook was decidedly blue.
Are you a stranger to God. Carried away with your pride. Tell me sinner did you ever step to think. Are you afraid to die. . Are you afraid. Are you unsaved.
The wind is blowing 'round the cabin. I hate to hear that lonesome sound. I'm all alone and so down hearted. Since my true love she ain't around. . I hate to see the sun a sinking.
Sweetheart I recall the day I first met you. I wonder if you remember the same. We talked of the love we shared for each other. And longed for the day we'd change your sweet name.
My latest sun is sinking fast, my race is nearly run. My strongest trials now are past, my triumph has begun. . Oh come Angel Band, come and around me stand.
I even loved the ground that you walked on. But that has been some time ago. I could never take you back, no matter how I try. For all the love I had is gone.
All I ever loved was you. You broke a heart that cried for you. I've wasted all my tears on you. For all I've ever loved was you. . Go out and find somebody new.
Often my thoughts drift back to childhood. To the times when I was free. As I played before the fireside. 'Round my darling, mother's knee. . There's a blessed home up yonder.
In constant sorrow all my days. . I am a man of constant sorrow. I've seen trouble all my days. I bid farewell to old Kentucky. The state where I was borned and raised.
A few more years shall roll, a few more seasons shall come. Then we shall be with those at rest asleep within the tomb. . Then Oh my Lord prepare my soul for that great day.
Mother first was called to heaven. Left our home all alone. Dad took sick soon and joined her. They're reunited on god's throne. . A few more tiring days still face us.
Each day I'll do a golden deed. By helping those who are in need. My life on earth is but a span. And so I'll do the best I can. . Life's even sun is sinking low.
