Early in the morning. When the church bells toll. The choir's gonna sing. And the hearse will roll. On down to the graveyard. Where it's cold and gray.
I was born on this mountain a long time ago. Before they knocked down the timber and strip-mined the coal. When you rose in the mornin' before it was light.
Ya got the ads got the cons got the TV got the blondes. Got the 4-letter words and the pens and the papers. The right and the wrongs the weaks and the strongs.
The hours sad I left a maid. A lingering farewell taking. Whose sighs and tears my steps delayed. I thought her heart was breaking. In hurried words her name I blest.
Cold iron shackles and ball and chain. Listen to the whistle of the evenin' train. You know you bound to wind up dead. If you don't head back to Tennessee Jed.
I don't know why I love you like I do. After all the changes that you put me through. You stole my money and my cigarettes. And I haven't seen how to have you yet.
You know the girl you love she don't treat you right sometimes. I said the girl you love she don't treat you right sometimes. Well that's the stuff you gotta watch 'cause your girl's telling you lies.

(Tracy Schwarz). . Oh the poor old dirt farmer,. He's lost lost all his corn. And now where's the money. To pay off his loan?. . He lost all his corn.
Well, I tried to run my game. She said "Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before". And I'm too tired to go for your show. (again and again). And she started to explain.
Te caut n fiecare floare. Ce rde dimineaa-n soare.... Te caut n ipot de izvor,. n aripa deschis-n zbor.. . Te caut n glasul de copil,. n luna blnd-a lui april,.
Little birds are singing all around me, on every bush and vine,. My pleasures would be doubled if I could call you mine.. . As I've sat here the whole night through till now it's a breakin' day,.
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free. I wish I could break all of they chains they holding me. And I wish I could say all the things that I should say.
