Tonight my heart is beatin' low and my head is bowed. You've been seen with my best friend on the other side of town. I don't mind this waitin', don't mind this runnin' around.
Sadly we sing and with tremulous breath. As we stand by the mystical stream. In the valley and by the dark river of death. And yet 'tis no more than a dream.
The darkest hour is just before dawn. The narrow way leads home. Lay down your soul at Jesus' feet. The darkest hour is just before dawn. . The sun is slowly sinking.
I heard about a man one day who wasted not his time away. He prayed to God every morning noon and night. He cared not for the things of man he trusted one who would not fail.
One morning in Jerusalem about the break of dawn. A great trial was in session, they tried our blessed lord. They scorned him and they mocked him, they made him carry the cross.
Could you love me one more time. With a love that really is mine. I've waited so long they say you've gone wrong. Have I lost you forever this time. .
Do you remember Long time ago. Daddy worked a man called Cotton Eyed Joe. Daddy worked a man called Cotton Eyed Joe. . I could have been married long time ago.
Children go where I send Thee. How will I send thee. Oh I'm gonna send thee one by one. . one was a little bitty baby born,. born in Bethlehem. . Two was Paul and Silas.
Don't go so far away love, try to stay around. For losing you would be more than I could bear. Though I'm tied to another, I hope someday she'll set me free.
I have left the land of bondage with its earthly treasures. I've journeyed to the place where there is love on every hand. I've exchanged the land of heartaches for the land of pleasure.
As you go along from day to day. No thoughts of God, no time to pray. Though He gave His life, that you and me. And this old sinful world be free. . Oh, the voice I heard from heaven's throne.
Bright morning stars are rising. Bright morning stars are rising. Bright morning stars are rising. Day is a'breaking in my soul. . Oh where are our dear fathers.
Oh, my, but you have a pretty face,. You favor a girl that I knew,. I imagine that she's still in Tennessee,. And, by God, I schould be there, too. I've a sadness too sad to be true..
Coming down from Tennessee riding on the line. Thinking about the girl of mine couldn't keep from crying. . Honey babe I'm bound to ride. Don't you want to go.
In the land of Breathed County was raised a crooked man. Made the county dry and the prices high. For the bootleg whiskey man. His age was barely twenty-one, his family was ashamed.
Oh Beautiful Star of Bethlehem. Shining afar through shadows dim. Giving the light for those who long have gone. Guiding the wise men on their way. Unto the place where Jesus lay.
Little girl, baby girl. (Little girl). She's my darling, little precious baby girl. Like an angel to me and I know that. He sent from Heaven, my little baby girl.
Are you a stranger to God. Carried away with your pride. Tell me sinner did you ever step to think. Are you afraid to die. . Are you afraid. Are you unsaved.
The wind is blowing 'round the cabin. I hate to hear that lonesome sound. I'm all alone and so down hearted. Since my true love she ain't around. . I hate to see the sun a sinking.
Sweetheart I recall the day I first met you. I wonder if you remember the same. We talked of the love we shared for each other. And longed for the day we'd change your sweet name.
