Down in the willow garden where me and my love did meet. There we sat a-courting my love fell off to sleep. I had a bottle of burgundy wine which my true love did not know.
In the shadow of the pines. Lives a girl and I know that she is mine. Life's worth livin' any time. Down in Caroline.. . It's no matter where I roam. she'll be waitin' there I know.
You have no doubt in your mind. there's a heaven up above. And you mean to change before the end. But you hold onto treasures. you possessed here on earth.
I went downtown, I thought I'd have a good time. Got home this morning, didn't have a dime. Lordy, Lordy, Lordy got them dog house blues. No use talkin', I got the dog house blues.
Dark as the night and blue as the day. I'm lonesome, my darling, since you went away. Sometimes I wonder, what made you strangely. Dark as the night and blue as the day.
I was born in the path of the winter wind. I was raised where the mountains are old. Their springtime waters came dancing down. And I remember the tales they told.
-Chorus-. Crying holy unto my lord. Crying holy unto my lord. Oh, if i could i surely would. Stand on the rock where Moses stood. . Sinners run and hide your face.
Child of mine, you are the wildest wind. And the dearest dream I will ever know. Love's lasting light shines out from deep within. This father's heart as I watch you grow.
Crying holy unto the Lord. Crying holy unto the Lord. Oh, if I could I surely would. Stand on the rock where Moses stood. . Sinners, run and hide your face.
All God's critters got a place in the choir. Some sing low, some sing higher. Some sing out loud on the telephone wires. And some just clap their hands, or paws, or anything they got now.
Crying holy unto my Lord. Crying holy unto my Lord. Oh, if I could I surely would. Stand on the rock where Moses stood. . Sinners run and hide your face.
Cry, cry, darling. That's what I'll do, if you should leave me with the blues. . Cry, cry, darling. That's all I do 'cause you're the one that's in my heart.
Cry, cry, darling, that's what I'll do. If you should leave me with the blues. Cry, cry, darling, that's all I do. 'Cause you're the one that's in my heart.
I got a gal at the head of the creek. Goin up t' see her 'bout the middle of the week. Kiss her on the mouth, just as sweet as any wine. Wraps herself around me like a sweet potatoe vine.
COTTON FIELDS. WRITER HUDDIE LEDBETTER. . When I was a little bitty baby. My mama would rock me in my cradle. In those old cotton fields back home. When I was a little bitty baby.
Come go with me to yonder valley. Where we once stood beneath the tree. Where we once planned our life together. I can't forget come go with me. . Come let us live some moments over.
