Where is the love that you promised 'neath the pine?. Gone like the flowers in the fall. You crossed your heart, now you're double crossing mine. You've been pretending after all.
I'm leavin' you to worry you off my mind. Lord, I'm leavin' you to worry you off my mind. 'Cause you keep me worried troubled. Troubled all the time. .
It was in the spring one sunny day. My good gal left me Lord she went away. . And now she's gone but I don't worry. 'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world.
Sitting alone in the moonlight. Thinking of the days gone by. Wondering about my darling. I can still hear her saying goodbye. . Oh, the moon grows pale as I sit here.
Sitting alone in the moonlight. Thinking of the days gone by. Wondering about my darling. I can still hear her saying goodbye. . Oh, the moon grows pale as I sit here.
Listen to that rain a-falling. Can'nt you hear that lonesome sound?. My poor old heart is breaking. Since my sweet love ain't around.. . Lord I think I start to ramble.
When you reach that golden city. (Golden city). Friends and loved ones you shall see. (You shall see). When the saints come out to meet you. (Out to meet you).
Shady Grove my little love. Shady Grove my darlin. Shady Grove my little love. I'm a goin' back to harlem. . Went to see my Shady Grove. She's a standin in the door.
I got me in bed and covered my head. Wish I was dead with Sally Jo. Sally Jo where did you go Sally Jo. . Since you have gone my days are turned to night.
Dear sweetheart as I write to you my heart is filled with pain. For if those things I hear are true I'll never see you again. They tell me darlin' that tonight you'll wed another man.
I'm going to that east pay road. I'm going to that east pay road. I'm going to the east. I going to the west. I'm going to the one that I love best. .
I ain't gonna work on the railroad. I ain't gonna work on the farm. Gonna lay around the shack. Till the mail train comes back. And I roll in my sweet baby's arms.
Now the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long, long, long. Now the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long. Another man has got my woman and gone.
In the beautiful hills in the mists of Roane County. There's where I have roamed for many long years. There's where my heart's been tendin most ever. There's where the first step of misfortune I made.
Oh, the river of death lies just before me. Can I find a place that I can cross. Or will I be in sin forever?. Oh Lord, don't let my soul be lost. . Oh, I wanna walk with Christ my Savior.
Do you think of the cross on which Jesus died. Of the blood he shed for you?. Are you prepared to meet him in that land of love. By his word, are you going to abide?.
