1. Oh, I wish I had someone to love me,. Someone to call me their own.. Oh, I wish I had someone to live with,. 'Cause I'm tired of living alone.. . 2. Oh, meet me tonight in the moonlight,.
Summertime is past and gone and I'm on my way back home. To see the only one I ever loved. Now the moon is shining bright, it lights my pathway tonight.
There's an old old house that once was a mansion. On a hill overlookin' the town. Where time's left a wreck where once was a beauty. And soon the old house will tumble down.
Let me tell you a tale about a spry old man. Guess he's as old as the hills. He's the favorite fiddler for miles and miles around. And plays for all the good quadrilles.
Oh, my brother take this warning. Don't let ol' Satan hold your hand. You'd be lost in sin forever. You'd never reach the promised land. . The old crossroad now is waiting.
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night. Someone was killed 'neath the Town Hall light. There were few at the scene but they all agreed. That this lad who ran looked a lot like me.
Springtime is near, my darling. You say, that you are going away. My heart will be with you my darling. And I'm counting now the days. . I know that soon I'll have to travel.
I walked out tonight for a ramble round. I didn't mean to stay just to view the town. When I saw her smiling from afar. As she walked into that crossroads bar.
Portland main is just the same as sunny Tennessee. Portland main is just the same as sunny Tennessee. Any old place I hang my hat is, home sweet home to me.
I can hear the voice of the boatman comin'. And I'll be ready when he calls my name. So happy I'll be on my way to Heaven. I hear the Angels freely say.
Oh the home above (oh the home above) so far away (so far away). That's where we pray (As ) we'll live someday (we'll ). In the home above (in ) beyond the starlight sky (beyond).
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh yeah. That's it man. Okay baby, yeah. Aha. Play it on. Aah, good song. Yeah.
You have heard and read about the state of Tennessee. Down in the southern states is where I wanna be. Where the valleys are so green and mountains are so tall.
Once in my youth, I stood on this mountain. And planted some pines in the sand. Every day I looked their way. But just couldn't understand. . Why they never grew like I thought they should do.
If your soul was veiled in darkness, and you had no grief nor care,. 'Twould be better than the Master, for the cross He had to bear.. . Chorus:. Then take courage un' tomorrow, all the clouds will pass away..
Yesterday I saw a picture. Hanging on the wall. You and me was laughing. Must of been a lifetime ago. . When the sun was smiling. And the bluebird he sang.
I wanna tell you a story every man oughta know. If you want a little loving you gotta start real slow. She's gonna love you tonight now well if you just treat her right now.
Girl you know he don't like me very much as it is. And if your daddy knew I was here now this could be my very last kiss. But he'll be in the shower at least a half an hour oh baby.
