(Big John, big John). Every mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive. He stood six-foot-six and weighed two-forty-five. Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip.
Somewhere the sun is shining somewhere the songbirds dwell. Hush then your sad repining God lives and all is well. . Somewhere somewhere beautiful isle of somewhere.
Be honest with me dear. Whatever you do, remember you're mine dear. So always be true. . Wherever you wander, on land or on sea. If you really love me be honest with me.
Won'tcha come along with me (come along with me). Down to the Mississippi (down to the Mississippi). We'll take the boat to the land of dreams. Steamin' down that river down to the New Orleans.
That bird with feathers of blue is waiting for you. Back in your own backyard. You'll see your castles in Spain through your window pane. Back in your own backyard.
Back home again in Indiana oh it seems that I can see. That gleaming candlelight still burning bright. Through the sycamores for me. That new mown hay sends all its fragrance.
(Aura Lee Aura Lee maid of golden hair. Sunshine came along with thee and swallows in the air). . As the blackbird in the spring neath the willow tree.
Hello there neighbor how do you do. There's something I'd like to say of you. You're from my own land my sunny homeland tell me is it true. . Are you from Dixie I said from Dixie.
Anytime you're feeling lonely anytime you're feeling blue. Well anytime you feel down hearted that will prove your love for me is true. Anytime you're thinking bout me that's the time I'll be thinking of you.
(People laugh and love and cry) I'm still missing you. The paper boy still comes around just like he used to do. But he's a little taller now and I'm still missing you.
Before you take another step, there's something you should know. About the years ahead and how they'll be. You'll be living in a world where roses hardly ever grow.
All by myself in the morning all by myself in the night. I sit alone with a table and a chair so unhappy there bein' solitare. All by myself I get lonely watching the clock on the shelf.
Gonna tell the world I love you can't keep it quiet. Everything I dreamed of darling came true tonight. Love that's been needed to make my life complete.
Abilene Abilene prettiest town that I've ever seen. The women there don't treat you mean in Abilene my Abilene. . Old empty boxcars standin' all alone the wheels're all rusted boys so we'd home.
These are the words. That cry out of me in the night. Like a buffalo herd. From a shotgun blast scattered in flight. . I got a one track mind. Going down a one train line.
I've seen crimson roses growing through a chain link fence. I've seen crystal visions, sometimes they don't make sense. You can see the future, it don't make no difference.
If I can wait here for you. Without hope or knowing what to do. And watch the light fade away. Without fear or knowing what to say. . Cry the tears from my eyes.
It was a beautiful morning. On a hill where the wind. Only carried the sound. Of the Mockingbird's song. And I was thinking about you. . And all the flowers were dancing.
When I get these blues, I just look back down that road. It's been a while since I laid down that load. These blues ain't nothin' like the blues I had.
There she goes, she's magic. Do you know why she cries?. You see the light of heaven in her eyes. . She walks upon the waters. Of your dreams and lies.
