You saw me crying in the chapel the tears I shed were tears of joy. I know the meaning of contentment now I am happy with the Lord. Just a plain and simple chapel where humble people go to pray.
All day I've faced a barren waste. Without the taste of water cool water. Old Dan and I with throats Burt dry. And souls that cry for water cool clear water.
When I was a little bitty baby. My mama would rock me in the cradle. In them old cotton fields back home. . When I was a little bitty baby. . Oh when them cotton bowls get rotten.
Last night as I laid on the prairie and looked at the stars in the sky. I wondered if ever a cowboy would drift to that sweet by and by. . Roll along roll along roll on little doggies roll on roll on.
Condemned without trial no chance to explain. Sentenced to be lonely despised. Condemned without trial to heartaches and pain. I thought that you demand me from the life.
Come live with me and be my love. Come fulfill the dreams my heart's dreaming of. While the turtle dove calls to the mist as April rain falls. Oh come live with me and be my love.
When the wind's blowing soft through the valley. And the rain's falling gentle and thin. And it looks like the streams are a poppin' it seems. It's comin' comin' green.
I tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream. Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme. A mem'ry from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart.
Come by me nice and slow come by me nice and slow. Let me peace my eyes before you go come by me nice and slow. Smile one more smile at me smile one more smile at me.
Christmas can't be far away. . A neighbour tipped his hat to me this mornin'. The landlord even smiled and said good-day. And I want you to know a stranger said hello.
Thy my everlasting portion, more than friend or life to me,. All alone my pilgrim journey, Savior let me walk with Thee.. Close to Thee, close to Thee, close to Thee, close to Thee;.
I'd like to be in Charlie's shoes that's what I always said. 'Cause he had you and everything tied with a golden thread. Then Charlie left and went away and when I got the news.
Makes no difference if we two are far apart, dear. I could never ever love somebody new. For there isn't any room inside my heart, dear. 'Cause I'm chained to a memory of you.
I can hear the organ playing gentle strains of peace be still. I can see my mother praying in the chapel on the hill. . While the choir turns the pages in my heart I feel a thrill.
The cattle are prowlin'. The coyotes are howlin'. Way out where the doggies roam.. Where spurs are a jinglin'. And the cowboy is singin'. His lonesome cattle call..
If a girl could be made of clay then I could mould that girl my way. I got her picture in my mind but there's no need to waste my time. Cause I got you and God knew what to do when he made you.
(We'll hide away in our castle made of walls). . Close the blinds draw the drapes lock the doors. Tonight our home will be just mine and yours. Take the phone off the hook so no one will intrude.
Oh carry me back to the lone prairie. Where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free. And when I die you can bury me. Neath the western skies on the lone prairie.
Come all you rounders, if you wanna hear. The story 'bout a brave engineer. Casey Jones was the rounder's name. On a 68 wheeler, boys, he won his fame.
Carry me back to old Virginny,. There's where the cotton and the corn and tatoes grow,. There's where the birds warble sweet in the springtime,. There's where the old darke'ys heart am long'd to go,.
