Out on the perilous deep. Where dangers silently creep. And storms so violently sweep. You're drifting to far from the shore. . Drifting too far from the shore (from the shore).
Down in the willow garden where me and my love did meet. There we sat a-courting my love fell off to sleep. I had a bottle of burgundy wine which my true love did not know.
In the shadow of the pines. Lives a girl and I know that she is mine. Life's worth livin' any time. Down in Caroline.. . It's no matter where I roam. she'll be waitin' there I know.
You have no doubt in your mind. there's a heaven up above. And you mean to change before the end. But you hold onto treasures. you possessed here on earth.
I went downtown, I thought I'd have a good time. Got home this morning, didn't have a dime. Lordy, Lordy, Lordy got them dog house blues. No use talkin', I got the dog house blues.
Dark as the night and blue as the day. I'm lonesome, my darling, since you went away. Sometimes I wonder, what made you strangely. Dark as the night and blue as the day.
-Chorus-. Crying holy unto my lord. Crying holy unto my lord. Oh, if i could i surely would. Stand on the rock where Moses stood. . Sinners run and hide your face.
Crying holy unto the Lord. Crying holy unto the Lord. Oh, if I could I surely would. Stand on the rock where Moses stood. . Sinners, run and hide your face.
Crying holy unto my Lord. Crying holy unto my Lord. Oh, if I could I surely would. Stand on the rock where Moses stood. . Sinners run and hide your face.
Cry, cry, darling. That's what I'll do, if you should leave me with the blues. . Cry, cry, darling. That's all I do 'cause you're the one that's in my heart.
Cry, cry, darling, that's what I'll do. If you should leave me with the blues. Cry, cry, darling, that's all I do. 'Cause you're the one that's in my heart.
I got a gal at the head of the creek. Goin up t' see her 'bout the middle of the week. Kiss her on the mouth, just as sweet as any wine. Wraps herself around me like a sweet potatoe vine.
COTTON FIELDS. WRITER HUDDIE LEDBETTER. . When I was a little bitty baby. My mama would rock me in my cradle. In those old cotton fields back home. When I was a little bitty baby.
Come go with me to yonder valley. Where we once stood beneath the tree. Where we once planned our life together. I can't forget come go with me. . Come let us live some moments over.
Oh, I'm sending a prayer up to Heaven. On a beautiful cloud you see. So you will know that I want you. In my beautiful memories and dreams. . Come back to me in my dreams love.
Way down in Columbus, Georgia. Want to be back in Tennessee. Way down in Columbus Stockade. Friends all turned their backs on me. . Go and leave me if you wish to.
You've gone so far away, my darling. Each time I think of you I cry. I press your picture to my bosom. Then I feel that you're close by. . Years have passed you've not returned dear.
Snowflakes falling my old home is calling. Tall pines are humming Christmas time is coming.. . Can't you hear them bells ringin' ringin' joy to all here them singin'.
Don't go so far away love, try to settle down. For losing you would be more than I could bear. Tho' I'm tied to another, I hope someday she'll set me free.
We were waltzing together to a dreamy melody. When they called out change partners, and you waltzed away from me. Now my arms feel so empty as I gaze upon the floor.
