I may look like a city slicker,. Shinin' up through his shoes.. Underneath I'm just a cotton picker,. Pickin' out a mess of blues. . Show me where I start..
Daylight of dark. In rain or shine. It don't much matter. Down in the mine. Where the tunnel's deep. Lord, the air gets thin. That's the way of life. For the minin' man.
Looking back at a page in time. The year was 1859. We ran deep in the souther pines. 'Neath that Alabama Clay. . Charlie and Johnny were brothers in blood.
Oh, the days are dark and the nights are lonely. Since you left me all alone. I love you so, my little darlin'. I worry so, since you've been gone. . Sweetheart of mine, can't you hear me callin'?.
naked, alone, cold cobblestones they beat Him until the blood ran. they brought Him to die, on a cross, up on-high with spikes through His feet and His hands.
When I was a boy daddy was my guiding light. We'd take walks and talk about fishing girls and life. He'd help me with my homework cheer me up when I was down.
The moon is full and my heart is why. I love to dance oh me, oh my. Gonna have more fun than a tree in a coon. Tonight's the dance of the Cajun noon..
I received the letter you wrote dear in which you said you'd wait for me. I'm asking you to please not to wait dear it will only ruin your life I see.
You took my broken heart put the pieces back in place. Took my two empty arms and fill the space with your embrace. Then you dried away the tears and put a twinkle in their place.
Are you a stranger to God. Carried away with your pride?. Tell me sinner, do you ever stop and think?. Are you afraid to die?. . Are you afraid?. Are you unsaved?.
The wind is blowin' around my cabin. I hate to hear that mournful sound. I'm all alone and so downhearted. Since my true love ain't around. . I hate to see that sun a-sinkin'.
What could make a man go up. On a cross to die for us. Just when the devil's push had come to shove. What could leave the empty grave. Carrying all the souls he saved.
Blues go ahead and knock upon my door you can't hurt me anymore. Um-um ain't love a good thing. Rain go ahead and let it rain all night in the morning I'll be dry.
I've got my angel on my mind that's why I'm walkin'. There's such an ache in this old heart now I ain't talkin'. The little hand that held mine tight just waved goodbye tonight.
RISING TIDES. TEMPEST LIVES. FROM THE DAY YOU'RE BORN. YOU COULD ROW. AND NEVER KNOW. THE CALM INSIDE THE STORM. THAT'S RAGING ON. . AND WHEN THE WAVES GET TO ROCKING.
The clubs are all closed and there's no where to go. When the sun wont show for hours. The streets have all emptied and lovers lay sleeping. And dreaming of each other..
It's so good to see your face again. It's so good to hold your hand. It's so good to kiss your lips again. You make me feel like a man. . It's so good to see you smile again.
You may see me walkin',. You may hear me talkin',. But the words I speak won't ever be about you.. You once left me cryin',. And now you're still tryin',.
Have you found, since you've turned me down,. The one that you were searching for?. Are you glad that you made me sad,. For you know I vowed to love you ever more..
