See that train coming round the bend. Carrying the one that I love. Her beautiful body is still here on earth. But her soul has been called up above. .
Come and look out through the window. That big old moon is shinin' -down.. Tell me now don't it remind you. On a blanket on the ground.. Remember back when love first found us.
Now will you love me, little darling. When I'm in some other land?. And you know, I can't be with you. Or will you be loving another man?. . Will you be loving another man?.
In this awful world of sorrow. In this wicked path of sin. Never thinking of tomorrow. Or what I'd lose in the end. . Oh, I can hear the joy bells ringing.
Oh, why, oh why did you wander?. Oh, why did you ever roam?. When you know that we always were happy. All alone in our old mountain home. . It was down in the old Cumberland Mountains.
McKinley hollered, McKinley squalled. Doc said, "McKinley I can't find the cause. You're bound to die, you're bound to die". . Doc told the horse, he'd throw down his rein.
I left the one that love in the mountains. And all the love we shared. But each night as she kneels by her bed side. I know she calls my name in her prayer.
The cattle prowled and the coyotes howled. Out on the Great Divide. I never done no wrong, just singing a song. As down the trail I ride. The rattlesnakes rattle at the prairie dogs.
On a rainy, windy morning that's the day that I was born on. In the old sharecroppers one room country shack. They say my mammy left me, same day that she had me.
When The Bees Are In The Hive - Bill Monroe. (Bryan/Mills). . By the mill stream sits the Miller's pretty daughter. Her cheeks are like the first red rose of June.
I met her one evenin' in a bar room downtown. She was the picture of truth. Her shoulders were sagged and her head was bowed down. Like me she was livin' the blues.
Memories that linger in my heart. Memories that make my heart grow cold. Maybe we can live again, sweetheart. And my blue moon again will turn to gold.
(Chorus). I'm playing Checkers while they're playing Chess. They make the big moves and make me a little less. Even when I win, beat the pants off of the best.
Brother afar from The Savior today. Risking your soul for the things that decay. Oh if today God should call you away. What would you give in exchange for your soul.
Way down in Virginia. Amongst the tall grown sugar canes. Lived a simple man and a dominiker hen. And a rose of a different name.. . Well, the first time I felt lightning.
American me, so wild and so free. Crossing the borders did nothing to me. The milk and the honey were power and greed. That's how it goes, American me.
Brother afar from The Savior today. Risking your soul for the things that decay. Oh if today God should call you away. What would you give in exchange for your soul.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?. Were you there when they crucified my Lord?. Oh. . Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Were you there when they crucified my Lord?.
Darling you often said you loved me. But you've gone on before. You don't know dear how I miss you. But we can't be darlings anymore. . Darling I am sad and lonely.
The wind is blowing 'cross the mountains. And out on the valley way below. It sweeps the grave of my darling. When I die that's where I want to go. . Lord, send the angels for my darling.
