Mama told me when I was young. Sit beside me, my only oneListen closely to what I say. If you do this it will help some sunny day.

I FOUND LOVE -- Vince Gill

I was swimming, in a river of darknessFeel the waters, rushing over my head.Like an angel, you were there to save meJust one touch, of your gentle hand.

Chorus:Since I found you I can climb a mountain,Since I found you I can swim the tideYou brought me life, you showed me heavenI found love, when I found you.

There were walls, standing all around meThought I’d never see, the walls come down.But like a miracle, my eyes were openedMy prayer was answered, when you came around.

Bridge:When we look back, on our life’s journeyLines on our faces will show the milesWe’ll share the memories, give God the gloryIf I can hear your laughter, and see you smile.

Chorus:Since I found you I can climb a mountain,Since I found you I can swim the tideYou brought me life, you showed me heavenI found love, when I found you.

ACROSS THE GREAT DIVIDE -- Kate Wolf

II / A D / A / F#m / D // A E F#m A / D E A /

I I've been walkin' in my sleep Countin' troubles 'stead of countin' sheepWhere the years went I can't say I just turned around and they've gone away

I I've been siftin' through the layers Of dusty books and faded papersThey tell a story I used to know And it was one that happened so long ago

II It's gone away in yesterday Now I find myself on the mountainside Where the rivers change direction across the great divide

I Now, I heard the owl a-callin' Softly as the night was fallin'With a question and I replied But he's gone across the borderline


I The finest hour that I have seen Is the one that comes betweenThe edge of night and the break of day It's when the darkness rolls away

O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain,For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain!America! America! God shed His grace on thee,And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet Whose stern impassioned stressA thoroughfare for freedom beat Across the wilderness.America! America! God mend thine every flaw,Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law.

O beautiful for patriot dream That sees beyond the yearsThine alabaster cities gleam Undimmed by human tears.America! America! God shed His grace on thee,And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea.

O beautiful for glorious tale Of liberating strife,When valiantly for man's avail Men lavish precious life.America! America! May God thy gold refineTill all success be nobleness, And every gain divine.

(THE) ANGELS – Melissa Etheridge

Sometimes I feel like an innocent one To deserve this fate what I have I ever doneI know that I made all the rules But time can even change the hopeless ways of foolsI love you tonight like I did yesterday I won't think of tomorrow or the price I payI drink from the well my soul is dry I never know why

All I want is for your love to be all mine But the angels won't have itAll I want is just a little peace of mind But the angels won't have itI thought I had a piece of my soul left to sell I guess it's just as well'Cause the angels won't have it

Who's looking after this see-through heart Someone up there isn't doing their partOh Cupid you foolish boy You should take better aim with your brand new toyI love you tonight like I did yesterday I don't think of tomorrow or the price I payI drink from the well my soul is dry I never know why


So if I die before I wake The innocent one whose heart could never breakLift me up take me out of this bed Watching the angels shake their headsDon't feel sorry for me baby honey don't you cry You can sell all of my clothes you will forget me by and byI'll be riding that train I'll be singing that song But I won't be gone for long'Cause the angels won't have it

I pulled into the driveway where she told me to goGot out to help her from the car and opened up the doorBut I just could not believe my eyes 'cause the back seat was bareI looked all around the car but Mary was not there


A light shone from the porch, someone opened up the doorI asked about the little girl that I was looking forThen a lady gently smiled and brushed a tear awayShe said: It sure was nice of you to go out of your way


But thirteen years ago today a wreck just down the roadOur darling Mary lost her life and we miss her soThank you for your trouble and the kindness you have shownYou're the thirteenth one who's been here bringing Mary home

Come all ye fair and tender ladies Take warning how you court young menThey're like a star on a summer morning They first appear and then they're goneThey'll tell to you some loving story And make you think they love you wellAnd away they'll go and court some other And leave you there in grief to dwell

I wish I was on some tall mountain Where the Ivy rock is black as inkI'd write a letter to my false true lover Whose cheeks are like the morning pinkOh, love is handsome, love is charming And love is pretty while it's newBut love grows cold as love grows older And fades away like morning dew.How I remember our days of courtin'. I met my love in the fading light,But now he flies to meet another. The day is lonely as the night.Do you remember our days of courting When your head lay upon my breastYou could make me believe with falling of your arm That the sun rose in the West

I wish I was a little sparrow, And I had wings with which to flyRight over to see my false true-lover, And when he's talking I'd be nigh.But I'm not a little sparrow, I have no wings with which to flySo I sit here in grief and sorrow, To weep and pass my troubles by.

If I had known before I courted that love was such a killing thingI'd a-locked my heart in a box of golden and fastened it up with a silver pin.

DRY BONES (DEM BONES)

Ezekiel 37 valley of dry bones becomes reconnected as he prophesies. Tendons, muscle, and skin regrow on the reconnected bones and the dead skeletons return to life forming a vast army that fills the valley. It makes no direct references to freedom, but uses the imagery of scattered bones being reconnected to encode the same message of hope

DIM LIGHTS, THICK SMOKE – Joe Maphis

Chorus:Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud musicIs the only kind of life you'll ever understandDim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud musicYou'll never make a wife to a home loving man.

A home and little children mean nothing to youA house filled with love and a husband so trueYou'd rather have a drink with the first guy you meetThe only home you know is that bar down the street.

Chorus:

Drinking and dancing, to a honky-tonk bandIs the only kind of life you'll ever understandGo run and have your fun, you think you played it smartI'm sorry for you and your honky-tonk heart.

It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe, It don't matter, anyhow.And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe, If you don't know by now.When the rooster crows at the break of dawn, Look out your window and I'll be goneYou're the reason I'm travelin' on, Don't think twice it's all right.

It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe, Light I never know'dIt ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe, I'm on the dark side of the road.Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say To try and make me change my mind and stay,We never did too much talkin' anyway, Don't think twice it's all right.

I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe, Where I'm bound, I can't tellBut goodbye is too good a word gal, So I'll just say fair-thee-wellI ain't saying you treated me unkind, You could uh done better, but I don't mindYou just sorta wasted my precious time, Don't think twice it's all right.

It ain't no use in callin' out my name gal, Like you never did beforeIt ain't no use in callin' out my name gal, I can't hear you anymore.I'm a thinkin' and a wonderin' all the way down the road I once loved a woman, a child I'm told,I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul, Don't think twice it's all right.

I She walks through the corn leading down to the river.Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun.She took all the love that this poor boy could give her.And left me to die like a fox on the run.Like a fox, (like a fox), (like a fox). On the run.

II Now everybody knows the reason for my fall.This woman tempted me down in Paradise Hall.This woman tempted me, then took me for a ride.And like a lonely fox, oh I need a place to hide.

INSTRUMENTAL I

I CHORUS

II Oh we'll drink a glass of whiskey, to fortify our soul.And talk about the world outside and days we used to know.Well I've seen a string of girls, who've put me on the floor.The game is nearly over, and the hounds are at the door.

II Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi- o; the ghost herd in the sky.

I Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel, Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel, A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky, He saw the riders comin' and he heard their mournful cry.

II (AAAAAAHHHHH) Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi- o;ghost riders in the sky.

I As the riders passed him, one called out his name. If you want to save your soul from hell riding on this range, Then cowboy change your ways today, or with us you will ride, Trying to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies.


I Their faces gaunt, their eyes all blurred, and shirts all soaked with sweat. He’s riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet, They're riding hard forever on that range up in the sky,They’ll never catch the devil's herd as they take that endless ride.

(I just moved in my house) today it was hot but I’m squared away Bells started ringin' and chains rattled loud I knew I'd moved in a haunted house

But I made up in my mind to stay Nothin' would drive me away Then I seen somethin' gave me the creep Had a one big eye and two big feet

I stood right still and did the freeze He did the stroll right up to me His feet made just like a drum He said, ?? You be here when the mornin' comes ??

Said yes I'll be here when the mornin' comes I'll be right here I ain't gonna run I bought this house you know I'm boss Ain't no haint gonna run me off

In the kitchen my stove was blazin' hot The coffee was boilin' in the pot The grease was melted in the pan I had a hunk of meat in my hand

From out of space there came a man Sittin on the stove with the pots and pans "Hey, that's hot!" I gave a shout But he drank hot coffee right from the spout

He ate the raw meat from my hand Drank the hot grease from the fryin' pan Said to me, "You better run, and don'tcha be here when the mornin' comes"

I said yes I'll be here when the mornin' comes I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run I bought this house now you know I'm boss. Ain't no haint gonna run me off

The silence of a falling star.Lights up the purple sky.And as I wonder where you are.I'm so lonesome I could cry.

I First thing I remember knowin was a lonesome whistle blowin.And a young one's dream of growin up to ride.On a freight train leavin town not knowin where I'm bound.No one could change my mind but mama tried.

I One and only railroad child from a family meek and mild.Mama seemed to know what lay in store.In spite of all my Sunday learnin for the bad I kept on turnin.Mama couldn't help me any more.

II CHORUS And I turned twenty one in prison doin life without parole.No one could steer me right but mama tried mama tried.Mama tried to raise me better but her pleadin I denied.That leaves only me to blame cause mama tried.

INSTRUMENTAL I banjo II guitar

It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta dayI was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hayAnd at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eatAnd Mama hollered out the back door "y'all remember to wipe your feet"And then she said "I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge""Today Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

And Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas"Well, Billie Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please""There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow"And Mama said it was shame about Billie Joe, anyhowSeems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw RidgeAnd now Billie Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

And Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie JoePut a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture showAnd wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night?"I'll have another piece of apple pie, you know it don't seem right""I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge""And now you tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

INSTRUMENTAL FIRST LINEAnd Mama said to me "Child, what's happened to your appetite?""I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite""That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today""Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way""He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge""And she and Billie Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

INSTRUMENTAL I

A year has come 'n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billie JoeAnd Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in TupeloThere was a virus going 'round, Papa caught it and he died last SpringAnd now Mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anythingAnd me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw RidgeAnd drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge / D7 / D7 ring /

ONE PIECE AT A TIME -- Johnny Cash

/ E / E / A7 / A7 // B / B / E / E // E / E / A7 / A7 // B / B / E / E /

Well I left Kentucky back in 49 and went to Detroit working on assembly line The first year they had me puttin wheels on a CadillacEvery day I'd watch them cars roll by, and sometimes I'd hang my head and cry Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black

One day I devised myself a plan that would be the envy of most any man I'd sneak it out of there in a lunch box in my handNow getting caught meant gettin fired, but I figured I'd have it all by the time I retiredI'd have me a car worth a least a hundred grand

CHORUS I’d get it one piece at a time, and it wouldn't cost me a dimeYou'll know its me when I come through your townI'm gonna ride around in style, I'm gonna drive everybody wildCause I'll have the only one there is around

So the very next day when I punched in with my big lunch box with help from my friend I left that day with a lunch box full of gearI've never considered myself a thief, but GM wouldn't miss one little pieceEspecially if I strung it out over several years

The first day I got me a fuel pump, the next day I got me an engine and a trunk. Then I got me a transmission and all the chrome. The little things I could get in my big lunch box, like nuts and bolts and all four shocks.But the big stuff we snuck out my buddy's mobile home

CHORUS I’ll get it one piece at a time, and it won't cost me a dimeYou'll know its me when I come through your townI'll ride around in style, I'll drive everybody wildCause I'll have the only one there is around


Now up to now my plan went all right, till we tried to put it all together one night, and that's when we noticed that something was definitely wrong.The transmission was a 53 and the motor turned out to be a 73And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone.

So we drilled it out so that it would fit and with a little help from an adapter kit we had that engine running just like a songNow the headlights, they was another sight, we had two on the left and one on the right,but when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on

The back end looked kind of funny too but we put it together and when we got throughWell that’s when we noticed that we only had one tail finAbout that time my wife walked out and I could see in her eyes that she had her doubtsBut she opened the door and said: “Honey take me for a spin.”

So we drove uptown just to get the tags and I headed her right on down Main dragI could hear everybody laughin for blocks aroundBut up there at the court house they didn’t laugh because to type it up it took the whole staffAnd when they got through the title weighed sixty pounds

CHORUS I got it one piece at a time, and it wouldn't cost me a dimeYou know its me when I come through your townI'm ridin around in style, I'm drivin everybody wildCause I got the only one there is around

So here I ridin round in my psycho-billy CadillacWell that’s negative on the cost of this machineYou might say I went right up to the factory and picked it up, it’s cheaper that wayWhat model is it?Well it’s a

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, unuttered or expressed, the motion of a hidden fire that trembles in the breast.

Prayer is the burden of a sigh, the falling of a tear, the upward glancing of an eye, when none but God is near.

Prayer is the simplest form of speech that infant lips can try; prayer the sublimest strains that reach the Majesty on high.

Prayer is the contrite sinners' voice, returning from their way, while angels in their songs rejoice and cry, "Behold, they pray!"

I Wish that I was on ole Rocky Top Down in the Tennessee hills. Ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top Ain't no telephone bills.

I Once there was a girl on Rocky Top Half bear the other half cat. Wild as a mink, sweet as soda pop, I still dream about that.

II Rocky Top, you'll always be Home sweet home to me. Good ole Rocky Top, Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee.

I Once two strangers climbed on Rocky Top Lookin' for a moonshine still. Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top Guess they never will.

I Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top Dirt's too rocky by far. That's why all the folks on Rocky Top Get their corn from a jar.

2/4 SALUTE TO A SWITCHBLADE -- Tom T Hall

/ E / E / A B / E / / E / E / A B / E // B / E /

Me and Yates an army buddy o' mine were doin' three years in Puerto Rico at the timeWe came upon these Senoritas by the sea Yates said “Podria sentar me?” they said “Si”(And “Podria sentar me” means can we sit with you all)

Oh we must have drunk ten quarts of Red Stripe beer My conscience and my sinuses were clearI asked if that Senorita was a spy she said “Non, pero estas un poco high.”(A condition not uncommon to the American soldier)

Well later on I went to be excused when I returned I was a bit confusedYates and his Senorita had hit the air another guy was sittin' in my chair(A young soldier whom we shall get to know better)

I said excuse me Amigo that's my seat I'd like it back Senor if you pleaseThat girl's a nurse and I need to go to bed he looked up at me and said “Que vaya Usted!”(Which means that he was not overly concerned with my health)

MODULATE up 2 half steps

Next thing I knew he had a switchblade knife I didn't know that Senorita was his wifeI took off through that Cantina like a fool behind me I heard the crashing stools(As the police would say he was in hot pursuit)

Well the waitress yelled there's MPs on the way That's one more reason I didn't want to stayAs I went out the window somethin' went switch And I laughed all the way home cause he had missed (At the time it seemed like a laughing matter)

Next morning my coat was lyin' there on the bunk and when I saw that coat my heart took a jumpThat man had cut my coat right down the back One more inch and they'd a been playin' me taps (And knowin' the sad nature of that song I would decline it)

Well later on I heard that guy was They sent him home and the Senorita went alongOn love and marriage I want to say one thing “Senorita if you're married wear that ring!”(And the army has a new policy if you can't move it paint itAnd if it has a switchblade knife salute it)

Johnny's in the basement mixin up the medicine, I'm on the pavement thinking bout the government, the man in the trench coat badge out, laid off, says he's got a bad cough wants to get it paid offLook out kid, it's something you didGod knows when but you're doin it again, you better duck down the alleyway lookin for a new friendThe man in the coonskin cap by the pigpen Wants eleven dollar bills you only got ten.

BRIDGE / A / A / A / A /

Maggie comes fleet foot face full of black soot, talkin at the heat put plants in the bed but the phone's tapped anyway, Maggie says that many say they must bust in early May orders from the DALook out kid don't matter what you didWalk on tip toes don't try NoDoz, better stay away from those that carry round a fire hoseKeep a clean nose, watch the plain clothes You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows


Get sick get well, hang around a ink well, ring bell hard to tell if anything is going to sell, try hard get barred, get back write Braille, get jailed jump bail, join the army if you failLook out kid you're gonna get hitBut users cheaters six time losers hang around the theatersThe girl by the whirlpool lookin for a new fool Don't follow leaders, watch the parking meters


Get born keep warm, short pants, romance, learn to dance, get dressed get blessed, try to be a success, please her please him, buy gifts don't steal don't lift, twenty years of schooling and they put you on the day shiftLook out kid they keep it all hidBetter jump down a manhole, light yourself a candle, don't wear sandals, try to avoid the scandalsDon't wanna be a bum, you better chew gum The pump don't work cause the vandals took the handles.

TRUE LOVE NEVER DIES – Travis Tritt

I / C / G / G / D / / G G7 / C E- / G D / G /

I The last time I thought about leavin', Was the last time I made her cry.I talked myself out of believin', That true, true love never dies.

I The first time I thought of returnin', Was just ten lonesome miles out of town.But my foolish pride kept these wheels a-turnin', Yeah, there was nothin' on this earth gonna shut me down.

II But if I had one drop of water, For each and every tear that I have cried.I'd sail back to her on an ocean of sorrow. True, true love never dies.

I Well, the fires of anger turn to ashes, Your pride will forsake you by and by.The lonesome is not surely passin', That ol' true, true love never dies.


INSTRUMENTAL I


END Well, I'd sail back to her on an ocean of sorrow. True, true love never dies.It never dies.It never dies.True true love.It never dies.It never dies..

I When I get off of this mountain, you know where I want to go?Straight down the Mississippi river, to the Gulf of MexicoTo Lake Charles, Louisiana, little Bessie, girl that I once knewShe told me just to come on by, if there's anything she could do

II Up on Cripple Creek she sends me If I spring a leak she mends meI don't have to speak, she defends me A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

INST / A / D / A / D /

I Good luck had just stung me, to the race track I did goShe bet on one horse to win and I bet on another to showThe odds were in my favor, I had 'em five to oneWhen that nag to win came around the track, sure enough she had won

II CHORUS . . . INST / A / D / A / D /

I I took up all of my winnings, and I gave my little Bessie halfAnd she tore it up and threw it in my face, just for a laughNow there's one thing in the whole wide world, I sure would like to seeThat's when that little love of mine, dips her doughnut in my tea


I Now me and my mate were back at the shack, we had Spike Jones on the boxShe said, "I can't take the way he sings, but I love to hear him talk"Now that just gave my heart a throb, to the bottom of my feetAnd I swore and I took another pull, my Bessie can't be beat


I Now there's a flood out in California and up north it's freezing coldAnd this living on the road is getting pretty oldSo I guess I'll call up my big mama, tell her I'll be rolling inBut you know, deep down, I'm kind of tempted To go and see my Bessie again.

WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN – Christian hymn 1800s, Louis Armstrong 1930s

Imagery from Book of Revelation. The verses about the sun and moon refer to solar and lunar eclipses; the trumpet (of the Archangel Gabriel) is the way in which the Last Judgment is announced. "I want to be in that number" refers to the specific number of 144,000 who are redeemed from the earth.

Oh when the trumpet sounds the call Oh when the trumpet sounds the call Oh lord I want to be in that number When the trumpet sounds the call

When the moon turns red with blood When the moon turns red with blood Oh lord I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in

Some say this world of grief and woe Is the only one we need But I'm waiting for that morning When the new world is revealed

We are traveling in the footsteps Of those who've gone before But we'll all be reunited On a new and sunlit shore

On that hall elujah day On that hallelujah day Oh lord I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in

I Lord I told the undertaker, undertaker please drive slow.For this body that you're hauling, lord I hate to see her go.


I I followed close behind her, tried to hold up and be brave.But I could not hide my sorrow, when they laid her in the grave.

I On the wings of a snow white dove, he sends his own pure love.A sign from above, on the wings of a dove.

II When troubles surround us, and evils come.The body grows weak, the spirit grows numb.When heartaches beset us, he'll never forget us.He sends down his love, on the wings of a dove.

I On the wings of a snow white dove, he sends his own pure love.A sign from above, on the wings of a dove.

II When Noah had drifted, on the flood many days.He searched for land, in various ways.Troubles he had some, but he wasn't forgotten.The lord sent his love, on the wings of a dove.

(THE) YEAR THAT CLAYTON DELANEY DIED -- Tom T Hall

I / C / G / C / C7 // F / F / C / C7 / guitar players all knew someone/ F / F / F / C / teach about guitar, life,/ C / G / C / C /

I remember the year that Clayton Delaney diedThey said for the last two weeks that he suffered and criedIt made a big impression on me, although I was just a kidThey said he got religion at the end and I guess I’m glad he did

Clayton was the best guitar picker in our townI thought he was a hero and I used to follow him ‘roundI often wondered why Clayton, who seemed so good to meNever took his guitar and played down in Tennessee

INSTRUMENTAL

Well, some people said he drank a lot, but I could never understandI knew he used to play up in Ohio with a five-piece bandClayton used to tell me, “son you better put that old guitar away,There ain’t no money in it, it’ll lead you to an early grave.”

I guess if I admit it, Clayton taught me ‘bout women and boozeI can see him half-stoned a-pickin’ out the lovesick bluesWhen Clayton died I made him a promise, I was gonna carry on somehowI’d give a hundred dollars if he could only see me now

INSTRUMENTAL

I remember the year that Clayton Delaney diedNobody ever knew it but I went out in the woods and I criedWell, I know there’s a lotta preachers who know a lot more’n I doBut it could be that the Good Lord likes a little pickin’ too

Yeah, I remember the day that Jerry Garcia died I sat at my desk and looked out my window and criedIt was the end of my youth, though I was forty-two And I swore if I could do it, I’d learn to play a lick or two

I It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished them well.You can see that Pierre did truly love the Mademoi-- selle.And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell.C'est la vie say the old folks which goes to show you never can tell.

I They furnished off an apartment with a two room IKEA sale.The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale.And when Pierre found work the little money comin worked out well.C'est la vie say the old folks which goes to show you never can tell.

INSTRUMENTAL I

I They had a 12-POUND BOOMBOX, boy did they let it blast.Seven hundred CDs, all rockin rhythm and jazz.But when the sun went down the rapid tempo of the music fell.C'est la vie say the old folks which goes to show you never can tell.

INSTRUMENTAL I

I They bought a souped up CHEVY, a cherry red ninety- three.They drove it down to New Orleans to celebrate their anniver- sary.It was there where Pierre was wedded to the lovely mademoi selle.C'est la vie say the old folks which goes to show you never can tell.
