In 1814, we took a little trip. Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip'.. We took a little bacon and we took a little beans. And we caught the bloody British in a town in New Orleans..
In Scarlet Town where I was born there was a fair maid dwelling. And every youth cried Well Away her name was Barbara Allen. . Twas in the merry month of May when all green buds were swelling.
Have you ever heard the story. Of the fight of Little Big Horn. Right from the lips. Of someone that saw?. . Well, I was there on that. Cold and fateful morning.

Bad news travels like wild fire good news travels slow. They all call me a Wildfire cause everybody knows. . That I'm bad news everywhere I go. Always a gettin' in the trouble ha ha ha.
I used to cry and then I forgot how, and that's living. If there's no sweatin' up for my brow, well that's living. I'm doing everything I wanna do. I don't do nothin' that I don't want to.
Back home again in Indiana. And it seems that I can see. The gleaming candle light, still burning bright. Through the Sycamores for me. The new-mown hay sends all its fragnance.
Baby sweet sweet baby. My world's so cold and empty since you've gone. Baby sweet sweet baby. Without you I don't know how I'll go on. . I've got that lonesome feeling deep inside of me.
As I look across a meadow when I see our little girl chasing butterflies. I can feel you here standing next to me in the mist of mem'ries filled my eyes.
AWAY IN A MANGER. Writer W.J. Kirkpatrick. . Away in a manger, no crib for His bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head, The stars in the sky looked down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing, the poor Babe awakes, But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes, I love, Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky And stay by my cradle 'til morning is nigh. Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever and ever I pray. Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care And lead us to heaven to live with Thee there..
It's that time of day again when dreams drift my way again. My thoughts start to stray again at sunset. Your mem'ry is crystal clear and visions of yesteryear.
The sun comes up and brings the dawn as usual. And I awake I'll find you're gone as usual. But I can't find a way to let this crazy heart of mine forget.
Are you sincere when you say I love you. Are you sincere when you say I'll be true. Do you mean every word that my ears have heard. I'd like to know which way to go will our love grow are you sincere.
As long as I love I will love you. As long as the stars may shine above you. You can be sure my heart will be true for as long as I love. . As long as the waves touch the seashore.
I'll bring some apples for Jenny to match her cheeks so fair. And I'll swing her high if she starts to cry and tell her there and there. I'll bring some apples for Jenny.
Answer me oh my love just what sin have I been guilty of. Tell me how I came to lose your love please answer me my love. . You were mine yesterday I believed that love was here to stay.
I memorize the note you sent go all the places that we went. I seem to search the whole day through for anything that's part of you. . I kept a ribbon from your hair a breath of perfume lingers there.
Anytime you're feelin' lonely. Anytime you're feelin' blue. Anytime you feel down hearted. That will prove your love for me is true. . [Chorus]. Anytime you're thinkin' 'bout me.
