One day the train was passin' I caught it crawlin' by. To look this old world over under God's blue sky. My darling stood there weeping as I was looking back.
As I sit at this bar and drink it over thoughts of you keep running through my mind. So I build myself a ship inside this bottle sail away leave all my blues behind.
That face in the mirror across the bar from me. Keeps staring back as if to say is this where you should be. But drinking helps forget her though I won't forget her long.
On a long lonesome journey I am going oh my sweet little darling don't cry. For in shackles and chains they will take me to a prison to live till I die.
I'm always second choice I'm never first with you. Oh how it hurts to see you out with someone new. But I'll wait around while you play around and have your fun.
Oh Lord I'm just a poor man but I've worked like a slave. I may not know what please me until I'm in my grave. I've lived without a lot of things I've only got one plea.
In a crowded honky tonk music starts to play. Happy couples all around dance the night away. At a table in a corner I sit all alone. Every song's the sad one since my baby's gone.
Well the girls are out to bingo And the boys are gettin stinko. We think no more of Inco on a Sud. Sat. Nite-. The glasses they will tinkle while our eyes begin to twinkle.
So familiar I could feel ya when you came through the door. So peculiar like I knew ya somewhere before. . Where ya from. Where ya going. Where ya been all this time.
I get this feeling Im being followed. And I feel the eyes of a stranger watching me. And my body is trembling all over. As I feel the hand of someone touching me.
I send her flowers and letters to let her know. Oh, what she does to me and how I go a little crazy. When I try to say it to her out loud the words dont come out.
I hear a cry for freedom from the heart of South Sudan,. From persecuted believers driven from their land.. Too many years they have suffered.. Too many people have died..
Darlin do you really love me. Are you the girl I used to know. Something's happened to you darlin. But it pleases me to know. . Life is sweet when love is blooming.
Here's a story of two childhood sweethearts. And a love that we shared still untold. How our simple little vows they were broken. And our love that I treasured more than gold.
Just as far as I can remember. She'll remain the rose of my heart. Mama fell sick along in December. February brought us broken hearts. . The reason we've not called a family reunion.
Stone walls and steel bars a love on my mind. I'm a three time loser I'm long gone this time. . Jealousy has took my young life. All for the love of another man's wife.
When we were young we played together. That's the way our love began. Now you're gone dear with another. Now you're no more than just a friend. . Sixteen years we were married.
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down. Sit down won't you sit down with the Lord and talk today. Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down. Sit down won't you sit down with the Lord today and pray.
There'll be shouting on the hills of glory. Shouting on the hills shouting on the hills. There'll be shouting on the hills of glory. There'll be shouting on the hills of God.
The day I first met you my heart spoke to me. There is the angel you see in your dreams. And I know it must be for the way that I feel. Your only a dream girl I know your not real.
