I was standing by my window yesterday morning. Without a thought a worry or of care. When I saw the postman coming up the pathway. With such a jolly face and jolly hair.
Darling let's turn back my years and go back to yesterday. Let's pretend that time has stopped and I didn't go away. We had our love to make us happy it wasn't meant to bring us tears.
There is no doubt you've been untrue you're stepping out with someone new. Your love has gone I cannot stay no need to cry let's call it a day. The love we knew is in the past once it was true but didn't last.
Leona, Leona you tell him you're through. You tell him Leona, about me and you. You tell him we're married with a baby up to. You tell him Leona, you tell him you're through.
Twang Twang-adiddle dang a diddle danga twanga twanga twang twanga diddle dang. Another dang twang another dang twang another dang twang.... I've been married now for a year or more and my old guitar hangs by the door..
This is gonna hurt, this is gonna hurt like hell. This is gonna damn near kill me, sometimes the truth ain't easy. I know that you're scared of telling me something.
Every night I go to bed. I hear a voice in my head and I go crazy. Thinking 'bout the words that you said. And how you had some place you'd like to take me.
I thought you were sent from heaven. You had me floating on a cloud. But tonight my sky is falling. And it's a long way down. It's a long way down. . Chorus:.
Lost all my money but a two dollar bill. Two dollar bill boys, two dollar bill. Lost all my money but a two dollar bill. I'm on my long journey home. .
When we were young we loved each other. More than anyone will know. But today you found a new love. And you said I had to go. . Oh the road is rough and rocky.
I sit here alone on the banks of the river. The lonesome wind blows the water rolls high. I hear a voice calling out there in the darkness. I sit here alone too lonesome to cry.
In the pale moonlight we quarreled one night. Our hearts were young and free. I left her there alone at night. I thought she was two-timin' me. On a lonesome night and far from home.
I was strolling one day in a lonely graveyard. When a voice from the tomb seemed to say. I once lived as you lived walked and talked as you talk. But from earth I was soon called away.
Oh, yonder stands little Maggie. With a dram glass in her hand. She's drinkin' away her troubles. She's a-courtin' another man. . Last time I saw little Maggie.
Come little girl let's go get married. My love is so great, how can you slight me. I'll work for you both late and early. At my wedding my little wife you'll be.
One night as the stars were all shining. Little Benny knelt down by his bed. He asked the dear Lord to forgive him. For all the bad words he had said.
After traveling through this world of sorrow. No one on earth to call my friend. I'm on my way back to old Kentucky. Where I met and loved but could not win.
Each night I dream of you sweet heart. I can't see why we had to part. But there's no reason now to stay. For I was only in your way. . Oh how I long to see your face.
Come on boys let's go to the fair. See the funny sights and the cool night air. Grasshopper kissing the old black crow. Road hog red do the dose-ee-doe.
Jack and May sweethearts were they. They were engaged to be wed. Many a promise he made her. Many a love word he said. . As most lovers do they quarreled one night.
