Good mornin' foreman, good mornin' boss. Do you need another mule skinner. With a blacksnake whip to toss. . Yodel lay, ee ee, ay ee ee. . Lord, I been workin' hard.
I'll never love no one else but my darlin'. Even though we both had to part. I'll never love no one else but my darlin'. Where ever she goes she'll always have my heart.
Traveling down this long lonesome highway. I'm so lonesome I could cry. Memories of how we once loved each other. And now you are saying goodbye. . On and on I'll follow my darling.
Mother left this world of sorrow. Our home was silent and so sad. Dad took sick and had to leave us. I have no home No mother nor dad. . There's a little lonesome grave yard.
Run O Molly run, run O Molly run. Tenbrooks gonna beat you to the bright shinin' sun.. To the bright shinin' sun O Lord to the bright shinin' sun. . Tenbrooks was a big bay horse he wore that shaggy mane.
If I was a gambler. I tell you what I'd do. I'd quit my gambling. And I'd work on the building too. . I'm a working on building. I'm a working on building.
The longest train I ever saw. Went down that Georgia line. The engine passed at six o'clock. And the cab passed by at nine. . In the pines, in the pines.
We were waltzing that night in Kentucky. Beneath the beautiful harvest moon. And I was the boy that was lucky. But it all ended too soon. As I sit here alone in the moonlight.
Back in the days of my childhood. In the evening when everything was still. I used to sit and listen to the foxhounds. With my dad in the old Kentucky hills.
Oh why did you leave me in this lonesome place. With four walls around me and a memory of your face. Why can't I be happy why can't I forget. With four walls around me I wish we'd never met.
I never thought I'd need you. But now I find I'm wrong. Come on back, sweet mama. Back where you belong. . I've rambled over town. To find that I can't win.
I've laid around and played around this old town too long. Summers almost gone, winters coming on. I've laid around and played around this old town too long.
I once had a darling wife kind, true and sweet. Life was so bright and gay everything complete. But I fell for another who led my life astray. So I'll live in sorrow till my dying day.
[Chorus]. Christmas time's a comin'. Christmas time's a comin'. Christmas time's a comin'. And I know I'm goin' home. . Snow flake's a-fallin'. My old heart's a callin'.
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.
Now some folks like the summertime when the they can walk about. Strolling through the meadow green it's pleasant there no doubt. But give me the wintertime when the snow is on the ground.
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining. Shine on the one that's gone and proved untrue. Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining. Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.
I'm only a dreamer of romance. My love dreams can never come true. I'll just pretend that I'm happy. And smile through these tears dear at you. . I dreamed of a cabin of love dear.
A star fell from heaven right into my arms. A brighter star I know I've never seen. Then I found out that it was only you with all your charms. Who came into my life to fill a dream.
I hear a voice callin'. It must be our Lord. It's comin' from Heaven on high. . I hear a voice callin'. I've gained a reward. For the land where we never shall die.
