Down in my dreams somehow it seems that I'm back where I belong. Just a country hick way back in the stick back where I was born. Cause the city lights and the city ways are drivin' me insane.
You'll never know I cried when I found out you lied. So I''ll keep ridin' hidin' teardrops in my heart. A cowboy can't reveal a broken heart until. He's all alone in someplace long to play the part.
I've got a tangled mind I've got a broken heart. Don't have a dime and my time is short. I got a gal somewhere I guess she thinks I'm dead. I'd go back home if I could clear my head.
My good gal's trying to make a fool out of me. Yes my gal's trying to make a fool out of me. Trying to make me believe I ain't got that ol' TB. . When it rained down sorrow it rained all over me Lord Lord.
SWEET MARIE. Traditional. . I've a secret in my heart, Sweet Marie A tale I would impart, love to thee Ev'ry daisy in the dell Knows my secret, knows it well, And yet I dare not tell, Sweet Marie... Come to me, Sweet Marie, come to me Not because your face is fair, love to see But your soul so pure and sweet, Makes my happiness complete Makes me falter at your feet, Sweet Marie.
Sweet hour of prayer sweet hour of prayer that calls me from a world of care. And bids me at my father's throne make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief my soul has often found relief.
Sweet dreams of you every night I go through. Why can't I forget you and start my life anew. Instead of having sweet dreams about you. . You don't love me it's plain.
Recorded by Hank Snow. . Don't forget me little darling while I'm growing old and gray. Just a little thought before I'm going far away. I'll be waiting on the hillside where the wild red roses grow.
Well I woke up Sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt. And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad so I had one more for desert. Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt.
Stolen moments are all we have together. Two hearts that must find love on borrowed time. Golden moments, the seconds that we treasure. And this forbidden pleasure be a crime.
The band it was playing the Star Spangled Waltz. The lights in the ballroom were low. Oh twas sweet to my ears I fought back my tears. For that waltz broke my heart long ago.
Words & Music by Arthur R. Scammell. Recorded by Hank Snow. . Oh this is the place where the fishermen gather. Oil-skins and boots and the Cape hands batten down;.
The twilight shadows deepen into night dear. The city lights are gleaming o'er the snow. I sit alone beside the cheery fire dear. I'm dreaming dreams from out the long ago.
I wanted the gold and I sought it I scrabbled and mucked like a slave. Was it famine or scurvy I fought it I hurled my youth into a grave. I wanted the gold and I got it came out with a fortune last fall.
I met a girl in Laredo down in Mexico. While I was makin' the rounds. Down in a dim cafe she does the swing and sway. That's the talk of the town. I never learned her name but she's called the Spanish Fireball.
I had to quit rail rollin' and it didn't agree at all. There was always something wrong with the Southern Cannonball. I once loved a maiden she was fair and tall.
Hear the clickety-clack on the railroad track. Means the wheels are rollin' and I'm goin' back. To the girl I left in a rundown shack. I'm southbound.
SONNY BOY. WITH CHET ATKINS. (B.G. DeSylva - Ray Henderson - Lew Brown). '28 Chappell & Co. instrumental. . When there are grey skies I don't mind the grey skies..
Somewhere my love there will be songs to sing. Although the snow covers the hope of spring. Somewhere a hill blossoms in green and gold. And there are greens all that your heart can hold.
Travelling the lonely roads of sorrow heartaches are all I've ever known. Time has turned a million pages fate has dealt and I'm alone. . But somewhere along life's highway from your new love you may part.
