In The Pines

In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines And you shiver when the cold wind blows My love, my love, what have I done To make you treat me so You’ve caused me to weep, you’ve caused me to mourn You’ve caused me to leave my home In the pines, in the […]

Ring Of Fire

Love is a burning thing And it makes a fiery ring Bound by wild desire I fell into a ring of fire I fell into a burning ring of fire I went down, down, down and the flames went higher And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire, the ring of fire I fell […]

Dark As A Dungeon

Come and listen you fellows, young and so fine And seek not your fortune in the dark, dreary mines It will form as a habit and seep in your soul ‘Til the stream of your blood is as black as the coal And it’s dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew Where the […]

High On A Mountian

As I look at the valleys down below They are green just as far as I can see As my memories return, oh how my heart did yearn For you and the days that used to be High on a mountain top, standing all alone Wondering where the years of my life have flown High […]

Whispers Of The North

Whispers of the north Soon I will go forth To that wild and barren land Where nature takes its course Whispers of the wind Soon I will be there again Bound with a wild and restless drive That pulls me from within And we can ride away We can glide all day And we can […]

All Along The Watchtower

There must be some way out of here Said the joker to the thief There’s too much confusion I can’t get no relief Businessmen, they drink my wine Plowmen dig my earth None of them along the line Know what any of it is worth “No reason to get excited” The thief, he kindly spoke […]

Travelin’ This Lonesome Road

I’m traveling down this lonesome road, oh, how I hate to go The wind and storms are raging high and it’s awful cold My mind drifts back to you sweetheart, and I love you so Now you’ve gone and left me here to travel this lonesome road I remember dear, not long ago, you said […]

A Walking Song

Roads go ever ever on, Over rock and under tree, By caves where never sun has shone, By streams that never find the sea; Over snow by winter sown, And through the merry flowers of June, Over grass and over stone, And under mountains in the moon. Roads go ever ever on Under cloud and […]

Things To Remember

I’ve cried so much lately that I’ve made out of list Of things to remember things to forget But my mind can’t seperate all the joy from regret I’ll always remember the things to forget. Things to remember the day that we’ve met The day that we’ve parted things to forget Why won’t my heart […]

Hello, City Limits

Hello, city limits, I see your sign Left all my worries way behind Left all my troubles and heartaches there too Hello, city limits, I’m starting out brand new I need a change of scenery, I need it real bad To help me forget all the hard times I’ve had I’ve got a feeling I’ll […]

All The Good Times Are Past And Gone

I wish to the Lord I’d never been born Or died when I was young I never would a’ seen your sparklin’ blue eyes Or heard your lying tongue All the good times are past and gone All the good times are o’er All the good times are past and gone Little darlin’ don’t you […]

My Alice

Early in the fall back deep in the woods the first hint of frost is upon you About a mile from the field stone wall its not hard to get lost if you want to Too far from the city to see the white light I move in the shadows under cover of the night […]

Pickin’ Up The Pieces

Pickin’ up those pieces Pickin’ up those pieces Putting them away Not writing you a letter Not writing you a letter Not today Not wanting to meet my savior Not wanting to meet my savior Not this way Sweating out my worries Sweating out my worries Just another day Just another day Just another day

Fishing

Inspirtation Oh, she barely waits a moment Elevator doors open Hear her footsteps touch the stairs Words walk by Describing definition Stop and talk about it Narcissus Is just too easy to see We’re always looking When we see fishes When we go fishin’ Thoughts meander Risin’ all around us Rise and fall and rise […]

Highway Of Sorrow

Down the highway of sorrow, I’m traveling alone I’ve lost all my true friends, I’ve lost a happy home I’m heading for destruction, I’m on the wrong track Down the highway of sorrow, there’s no turning back I once had a darling wife, kind, true and sweet Life seemed so bright and gay, everything complete […]

Tombstone Blues

he sweet pretty things are in bed now of course The city fathers they’re trying to endorse The reincarnation of Paul Revere’s horse But the town has no need to be nervous. The ghost of Belle Starr she hands down her wits To Jezebel the nun she violently knits A bald wig for Jack the […]

Covered Bridges

I woke up this morning with yesterday’s cold pot of coffee I stare out my window and wonder, “Where is she now?” Crumbled up papers that lay in a pile beside me I can’t seem to find the right words to write down To write down To write down To write down To write down […]
