Down in the willow garden. Where me and my true love did meet. It was there, we went a courting. My love fell off to sleep. . I had a bottle of burgundy wine.
She was heavy with child and he had a hungry look. They were out on the road just waitin' to be took. And I wasn't much better, all I owned in a sack.
Well met, well met, my own true love. Well met, well met, cried he. I've just returned from the salt, salt sea. And it's all for the sake of thee. . I've come for the vows that you promised me.
You and me out in the dark lookin' for shadows. Saturday night, a little too young to take good care. A little too wild, a little too old to get lost in the woods.
The blues the come and the blues they go. Don't hold your breath, they'll be coming back. Make you step outside that life you lead. Feel the blues fade to black.
I had an old hen she had a wooden leg. Best old hen that never laid an egg. Laid more eggs than any hen around the barn. Another dirink of whiskey wouldnt do me any harm.
I been climbin up a mountain since the day that I was born. It's been so long of a journey and I'm feelin kinda tired and worn. Tired and worn, tired and worn.
When you look out your window and see her runnin' away. You start addin' things up, how you let her down. Now she's makin' you pay, by runnin' away. .
There in the paper as plain as day I saw. Your face was smilin' and lookin' my way it said. You beat the odds in some game. Five thousand dollars and fame.
Made up my mind to go. Some place so far away, I headed west. Without a sad goodbye. No hugs or tears that way, it's probably for the best. Sent cards along the way.
As time draws near my dearest dear when you and I must part. How little you know of the grief and woe in my poor and my poor aching heart. Tis' but I suffer for your sake believe me dear it's true.
Chorus:. Bending blades, tall grass blowing in the breeze. Shining in the sun. Lonely days I keep going to the place. We went when we were young. . All I saw was flowers growing.
This world is made with sweat and toil, pushing muscle and elbow oil. We can't lie too long in the shade, cause every day must be remade. Some days you fall some days you fly, but in the end we all must die.
My latest sun is sinkin fast. My race is nearly run. My strongest trials now are past. My triumph has begun. . Chorus:. Oh come angel band. Come and around me stand.
People steal, they cheat and lie. For wealth and what it will buy. Don't they know on judgment day. Gold and silver will melt away?. . I'd rather be in a deep, dark grave.
Well, I don't have a nickel. To put in your cup. And I don't have ten dollars. Just so you can fix up. . I'm a travelin' myself. I don't appreciate. Your empty gas tank lines.
There's a man, I want to know again. Get him to grow and then I'm gonna throw him back to you. I knew that man, he fell out of the sky. Swore that love would never die.
VERSE. Were you restless. Do you ever sleep at all. I heard you pacin all night up and down the hall. You kept me tossin and turnin. Prayin youd lay down and go to sleep.
Its a celebration. In the cresent city. On the day that christ was born. Mistletoe hangin everywhere,light everywhere. Decor on every pole. lets take a horse and carriage ride.
Shotgun seat down an unknown road. Wherever you go, boy I'm gonna go. Favorite jam on the radio. You're bobbing your head on cruise control. We'll never be this young again.
