True Life Blues
I hate to see the sun sink low Just for a cause you ought to know For it’s true love I can’t forget All of my sorrow you’ll soon regret You promised me love that was true And I’m sorry to say that I believed in you It’s all turned out just like a dream […]
There Is A Time
There is a time for love and laughter The days will pass like summer storms The winter wind will follow after But there is love and love is warm There is a time for us to wander When time is young and so are we The woods are greener over yonder The path is new […]
There’s A Little White Church In The Valley
There’s a little white church in the valley That stands in my memory each day And it seems I can hear the bells now ringing Though I am many miles away And many times in church on Sunday morning That whole countryside would gather there They would all kneel down by the altar As they […]
There’s More Pretty Girls Than One
There’s more pretty girls than one More pretty girls than one Any old town that I ramble all around in There’s more pretty girls than one Mama talked to me last night She gave to me some good advice She said, son you ought to quit this old ramblin’ all around And marry you a […]
These Old Blues
These old blues they got me down Since my sweet thing she ain’t around I’m so blue blue as I can be Just as blue as the deep blue sea Got up this morning I was feeling blue Couldn’t sleep last night, just thinking of you Well I tossed and turned tears in my eyes […]
They Love Each Other
Merry run around, sailing up and down Looking for a shove in some direction Got it from the top, it’s nothing you can stop Lord, you know they made a fine connection They love each other, Lord you can see it’s true Lord you can see it’s true, Lord you can see it’s true He […]
Thick As A Brick
Really don’t mind if you sit this one out My words but a whisper, your deafness a shout I may make you feel, but I can’t make you think Your sperm’s in the gutter, your love’s in the sink So you ride yourselves over the fields And you make all your animal deals And your […]
Think Of What You’ve Done
Is it true that I’ve lost you Am I not the only one After all this pain and sorrow Darling think of what you’ve done Heart to heart dear how I need you Like the flowers need the dew Loving you has been my life, dear I can’t believe we’re really through I’ll go back […]
Thinking About You
I haven’t seen you since this morning I’m filled with the sweetest pain A constant aching in my soul That just won’t go away I’m thinking about you Thinking about you I’m thinking about you Thinking about you In the quiet hours before the dawn Talking quietly in the hall Windows open on the streets […]
Third Stone From The Sun
Strange beautiful grass of green, With your majestic silver seas Your mysterious mountains I wish to see closer May I land my kinky machine? Although your world wonders me, With your majestic and superior cackling hen Your people I do not understand, So to you I shall put an end And you’ll never hear surf […]
This Crazy Love
The Race Is On
I feel tears wellin’ up cold, deep inside Like my heart’s sprung a big break And a stab of loneliness, sharp and painful That I may never shake You might say that I was taking it hard Since you wrote me off with a call But don’t you wager that I’ll hide in sorrow When […]
The Shape I’m In
Go out yonder, peace in the valley Come downtown, have to rumble in the alley Oh, you don’t know the shape I’m in Has anybody seen my lady? This living alone will drive me crazy Oh, you don’t know the shape I’m in I’m gonna go down by the water But I ain’t gonna jump […]
The Springtime Of Life
We fell in love on a green grassy hillside In the springtime of life did we chance to meet All the flowers were blooming and the birds were singing The world and it’s riches did lay there at our feet So sacred and tender was the young love a blooming Once in a lifetime it […]
The String Changing Tune
The Tall Tall Grass
Now August is a wicked month A pleasure yet so bad Escape from all the hopes and fears A time to laugh a time for tears And run away from the rest of the year And love in the tall tall grass Doodle a doo doo doo The August sun’s a wicked sun It tans […]
The Great Pretender
Oh-oh, yes, I’m the great pretender Pretending that I’m doing well My need is such I pretend too much I’m lonely, but no one can tell Oh-oh, yes, I’m the great pretender Adrift in a world of my own I’ve played the game but to my real shame You’ve left me to grieve all alone […]
The Hobo Song
Too late to feel sorrow Too late to feel pain He’s just an old hobo And he’s Lost out in the rain He’d never cause trouble So don’t have no fear He’s just an old hobo And he’ll soon be far away from here He used to be a gambling man just like you Until […]
The House Carpenter
Well met, well met, said an old true love Well met, well met, said he I’m just returning from the salt, salt sea And its all for the love of thee Come in, come in, my old true love And have a seat by me It’s been three-fourths of a long, long year Since together […]
The Last Thing On My Mind
It’s a lesson too late for the learning Made of sand, made of sand In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin’ In your hand, in your hand Are you going away with no word of farewell Will there be not a trace left behind Well, I could’ve loved you better, didn’t mean […]
The Letter Edged In Black
I was standin’ by my window yesterday morning Without a thought of sorrow or of care When I saw the postman comin’ up the pathway With such a smiling face and jolly air. He rang the bell and whistled as he waited Then he said; “Good morning to you, Jack” But he little knew the […]
The Lone Pilgrim
I came to the place where the lone pilgrim lay And pensively stood by his tomb, When in a low whisper I heard something say, “How sweetly I sleep here alone. The tempest may howl and the loud thunder roar, And gathering storms may arise, But calm is my feeling, at rest is my soul. […]
The Lonesome River
I sit here alone on the banks of the river The lonesome wind blows the water rolls high I hear a voice calling out there in the darkness I sit here alone too lonesome to cry Oh the water rolls high on the river at midnight I sit on the shore to grieve and to […]
The Ongoing Horrible
Migration to a town where Tree swallows houses Migration to a town where Tree, swallows, houses Like a match you’ve started We’re all ageing doubles We sing, hello, hello, hello Hello We danced shoes on shoes To the sound of the spinning machine We slept arm-in-arm So soundly ignoring the outside sounds of the Ongoing […]
