Ripple

Chorus:Am DRipple in still water, G CWhen there is no pebble tossed, A7 DNor wind to blow

Reach out your hand, if your cup be emptyIf your cup is full, may it be againLet it be known, there is a fountainThat was not made, by the hands of men There is a road, no simple highwayBetween the dawn, and the dark of nightAnd if you go, no one may followThat path is for, your steps alone

Chorus:Ripple in still water,When there is no pebble tossed,Nor wind to blow You who choose, to lead must followBut if you fall, you fall aloneIf you should stand, then who's to guide you?If I knew the way, I would take you home Finish round La de la la la etc.

Me and My Uncle

Me and my uncle went riding downTo south Colorado, west Texas bound.We stopped over in Santa Fe.That being the point, just about half-way.And you know it was the hottest part of the day.

I took those horses up to the stall.Went to the barroom, ordered drinks for all.Three days in the saddle, you know my body hurt.It being summer, I took off my shirt,And I tried to wash off some of that dust and dirt.

West Texas cowboys,they're all around.With liquor and money, they were loaded downSo soon after payday, you know it seemed a shame.You know my uncle, he starts a friendly game.One-eyed Jacks and the winner takes the hand.

My uncle starts winning, cowboys got sore.One of them called him, and then two more.Accused him of cheating, oh no, it couldn't be.I know my uncle, and he's as honest as me.And I'm as honest as a Denver man can be.

One of the cowboys, he starts to draw,But I shot him down, Lord, he never saw.I shot me another, Hot Damn! he won't grow old.In the confusion, my uncle grabbed the gold,And we high-tailed it down to Mexico.

I love those cowboys, I love their gold.I love my uncle, God rest his soul.He taught me good, Lord, he tought me all I know.He taught me so well, I grabbed that gold,And I left his dead ass there by the side of the road

There’s a Destruction in This Land

Chorus:There's a destruction in this land can't you see, can't you seeThere's a destruction in this land can't you seeMen and women are passing awayInto judgment every dayThere's a destruction in this land, can't you see

Now you see how God is ridingThrough this old sinful landSo it pays you to be readyHave your ticket in your handFor my God is still-a-ridingAnd he's taking on every handThere's a destruction in this land, can't you see

God's moving by the watersAnd He's moving by the windHe's moving by the lightningYes, He's moving by the stormSo it pays you to be readyTo rest in Jesus armsThere's a destruction in this land, can't you see

There's something I wants to tell youAnd I want you to knowOh Death, he keeps on ridingAnd he's knocking at every doorHe's calling for the richJust as well as for the poorThere's a destruction in this land, can't you see

Some are leaving their wives and familiesTo do the very best they canThey realize Death keep-a-ridingSo it pays you to be readyTo join this Christian bandThere's a destruction in this land, can't you see

Now friends there is no use of moaningThere is no use of cryingYou just set your house in orderAnd prepare yourself for dyingYou just keep this world behind youAnd get Jesus on your mindThere's a destruction in this land, can't you see

Midnight Special

Yonder comes Miss Rosie. How in the world do you know?Well, I know her by the apron and the dress she wore.Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand, Well I’m goin to ask the Governer "Turn a-loose my man."(Chorus)Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me.Oh let the Midnight Special shine her ever-lovin' light on me.

When you gets up in the morning, when that big bell ring.You go marching to the table, see the same damn thing.Knife and fork are on the table, ain't nothing in my pan.And if you say a thing about it, have a trouble with the man.(Chorus)

If you ever go to Houston, boy, you better walk right, And you better not squabble and you better not fight.Benson Crocker will arrest you, Jimmy Boone will take you down.You can bet your bottom dollar that you are Sugar Land bound.(Chorus).

Well, jumping Little Judy, she was a mighty fine girl.Well Judy brought jumping to this whole round world.Well, she brought it in the morning just a while before day.Well, she brought me the news that my wife was dead.That started me grieving, and hollering, and crying.And I began to worry about a very long time.(Chorus)

And the wind did howl and the wind did blowLa la la la laLa la la la leeA little bird lit down on Henry Lee

Lie there, lie there, little Henry LeeTill the flesh drops from your bonesFor the girl you have in that merry green landCan wait forever for you to come home

And the wind did howl and the wind did moanLa la la la laLa la la la leeA little bird lit down on Henry L

How Long Blues

8 Bar Blues

How long, baby how long,Has that evening train been gone?

[Chorus:]How long,How how long,Baby how long?

Went to the station, didn't see no train.Down in my heart, I have an aching pain.

[Chorus]

I feel disgusted, I feel so badThinking 'bout the good time that I once have had.

[Chorus]

I could see the green grass growing on the hill;I ain't seen no greenback on a dollar bill.

[Chorus]

You're gonna be sorry, you'll feel so blue.When you want me, baby, I declare I won't want you.

[Chorus]

Don't have no money for to ride the train.I would ride the rods, baby, to be with you again.

[Chorus]

How long, baby how longMust I keep my, my watch in pawn?

[Chorus]

Well Bugger fell down on the barroom floorSaid, please Danny don't shoot me no moreSomeone cried, oh ain't it a shameShot Bugger Burns, gonna shoot him again

They took old Bugger down a dusty roadHis mouth was open and his eyes was closedIf you don't believe old Bugger Boo's deadJust look at the hole in Bugger Boo's head

ChorusWell old Bugger Burns is gonna restWith a forty-five bullet in his chestAin't no lie, baby ain't no lieThey shot Bugger Burns on the fourth of July

Well, just after Danny had made his playHe went down town to make his get awayDanny left Louisville at half past oneHe reached Chattanooga by the settin' sun

When Bugger's wife heard daddy was deadShe went upstairs and she dressed in redSaid, hush my children now don't you cryWe'll get our money, by and by

Bugger went to heaven, feelin' like a saintSaid he was an angel, Saint Peter said he ain'tHeard a big noise under the groundIt must have been Bugger goin' down
