I walked to the whispering forest not a man made sound could I hear. A pretty sound was playing there without a sign of fear. I walked alone up to mountain and looked out over the sea.
Last night I met an old love and just to pass the time. We did some other things we used to do. But as I held her in my arms this thought ran through my mind.
Tonight my heart's as heavy as these cold gray walls of stone. Cause I know I'll see my last sunrise with tomorrow's early dawn. Cause an old gray haired judge said guity for your crime you must pay.
I see a bridge a way to cross the River of Strife River of Strife. I'm not smart I'm not strong many needs I called were wrong. And my heart is often drear when troubles appear.
I like girls I like girls I like their ribbons and I like their curles. I like 'em cause they're soft and sweet I like to watch 'em on the street. I like their hair and when they wear that perfume on their clothes.
I was raised on corn bread and gravy. And I slept in a cardboard box till I was nearly three. I bathed myself in muddy river runnin' by our shack. By the time that I had reached thirteen I'd been through hell and back.

You know I love you and I always will. I know you're married but I love you still. The day I met you my heart spoke to me. It said to love you through eternity.
I just came to smell the flowers here in someone's darkest hour. I don't even know the one they've laid to rest. But anyplace there's a crowd and anywhere they're cryin' loud.
I had not planned on seeing you I was afraid of what I'd do. But pride is strong and here am I I just can't let you say goodbye. Please have no fear you're in no harm as long as you're here in my arms.
I was ridin' No 9 headin' south from Caroline. I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow. Got in trouble had to roam left my gal and left my home. I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow.
I JUDGED A MAN. Writer Johnny Mullins. . Today I saw some ragged clothes and I judged the frame on which they hung. There goes a wasted life says I I'll not waste mine for I'm young.
I guess I'm crazy for loving you you tell me many ways that I won't do. I may be playing a losing game I guess I'm crazy but I'll never change. I've tried to let you go it's no use this I know I don't care if it's so it has to be.
While walking one day in the country I saw a gathering crowd. And as my footsteps threw me closer I smell the sweet fragnance of flowers. It looked like a family reunion and my eyes not counted the tears.
It was on a Sunday morning when I found him standing all alone starin' into space. He looked like a man had lived a hard life and the hurt of it showed on his face.
I can't stand the thoughts of you with somebody else. I can't keep pretending just foolin' myself. It hurts me too much to think you'll never be mine.
I dreamed I saw America on her knees. She knelt in prayer with humble outstretched hands. Last night I fell asleep sittin' in my favorite chair. I had read the evenin' paper news of trouble everywhere.
I didn't mean to be untrue didn't mean to cheat on you. At the time it didn't seem so wrong. I didn't mean to be untrue but she reminded me of you. And you know I've been gone so long.
Last night, my tears they were fallin'. I went to bed so sad and blue. Then I had a dream of you. I dreamed I was strollin' in the evenin'. Underneath the harvest moon.
I couldn't wait forever did you expect me to. I guess you thought I'd never find somebody new. I lived on dreams and promises as long as I could. I couldn't wait forever the way you thought I would.
