"Leave Me Alone With The Blues"

"Leave Me Alone With The Blues"

Better pack up your suitcase and leave in a hurry
Now I don't wanna show you the door
Since the day that we met you've been nothin' but trouble
Now I don't want you here anymore

Run along run along don't pester me further
For I know that you'll never be true
If you can't treat me right then get out of my life
Go and leave me alone with the blues

Oh you stayed by my side till you got all my money
Now my clothes are all ragged and torn
Since the day that we met you've been nothin' but worry
Lord I wish I had never been born

Run along run along don't you pester me further
I know that you'll never be true
If you can't treat me right then get out of my life
Go and leave me alone with these blues

You may ramble and ramble this whole wide world over
But don't trust any woman you meet
They won't leave you alone till they've got your last dollar
Then you're just like the dirt beneath their feet

Run along run along don't you pester me further
For I know that you'll never be true
If you can't treat me right then get out of my life
Go and leave me alone with these blues

"Let's Turn Back The Years"

"Let's Turn Back The Years"

Darling let's turn back my years and go back to yesterday
Let's pretend that time has stopped and I didn't go away
We had our love to make us happy it wasn't meant to bring us tears
Love like ours should never die so darling let's turn back the years
[ steel - guitar ]
We had our love to make us happy...

"Little Paper Boy"

"Little Paper Boy"

Out on the corner standin' so bold
Stood a little paper boy so hungry and cold
And as the crowd came passin' by
These words he said with tears in his eyes

"Please buy a paper from me
So I can get me somethin' to eat
My clothes are ragged, no shoes on my feet"
Said the little paper boy, there on the street

"Out in this cold wide world all alone
I have no place on this earth to call home
I haven't had the chance that other kids had
I have no mother, nor even a dad"

"So please buy a paper from me
So I can get me somethin' to eat
My clothes are ragged, no shoes on my feet"
Said the little paper boy, there on the street

Early next mornin' as the crowd passed by
The little boy was gone and they wondered why
They started searchin' and then found him dead
He died with the papers under his head

No one was there, his body to claim
There he was lying but he felt no pain
Now he has gone up to Heaven we know
The little paper boy who died in the snow

There ya have it, friends

"Long Gone Lonesome Blues"

"Long Gone Lonesome Blues"

I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by
But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die, oh Lord
And then I jumped in the river, but the doggone river was dry
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue

I had me a woman who couldn't be true
She made me for my money and she made me blue
A man needs a woman that he can lean on
But my leanin' post is done left and gone
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue

I'm gonna find me a river, one that's cold as ice
And when I find me that river, Lord I'm gonna pay the price, oh Lord
I'm goin' down in it three times, but Lord I'm only comin' up twice
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue

She told me on Sunday she was checkin' me out
Long about Monday she was nowhere about
And here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news
I got them gone but not forgotten blues
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue

"Lost Highway"

"Lost Highway"

I'm a rollin stone all alone and lost
For a life of sin I have paid the cost
When I pass by all the people say
Just another guy on the lost highway

Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine
And a womans lies makes a life like mine
Oh the day we met, I went astray
I started rolling down that lost highway

I was just a lad, nearly 22
Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you
And now I'm lost, too late to pray
Lord I take a cost, oh the lost highway

Now boys don't start to ramblin' round
On this road of sin are you sorrow bound
Take my advice or you'll curse the day
You started rollin' down that lost highway

"Lost On The River"

"Lost On The River"

Lost on the river
Dark is the night
Just like the blind
Praying for sight
Drifting alone
Heart filled with strife
I'm lost on the river
The river of life

Once dear I thought
I knew the way
But that was before
Old sad yesterday
Words that you told me
Cut like a knife
I'm lost on the river
The river of life

Out on this river
Where sorrow creeps
Thiinking of you
And how my heart weeps
Tomorrow you'll be
Another man's wife
And I'm lost on the river
The river of life

"Lovesick Blues"

"Lovesick Blues"

I got a feelin' called the blues, oh Lord
Since my baby said goodbye
Lord I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and sigh, oh Lord

That last long day she said goodbye
Well lord I thought I would cry
She'll do me, she'll do you
She's got that kind of lovin'

Lord I love to hear her when she calls me sweet da-a-addy
Such a beautiful dream
I hate to think it's all over
I've lost my heart it seems

I've grown so used to you somehow
Well I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
And I'm lo-o-onesome
I got the lovesick blues

Well I'm in love I'm in love with a beautiful gal
That's what's the matter with me
Well I'm in love I'm in love with a beautiful gal
But she don't care about me

Lord I tried and tried, to keep her satisfied
But she just wouldn't stay
So now that she is leavin'
This is all I can say

I got a feelin' called the blues, oh Lord
Since my baby said goodbye
Lord I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and sigh, oh Lord

That last long day she said goodbye
Well Lord I thought I would cry
She'll do me, she'll do you
She's got that kind of lovin'

Lord I love to hear her when she calls me sweet da-a-addy
Such a beautiful dream
I hate to think it all over
I've lost my heart it seems

I've grown so used to you somehow
Lord I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
And I'm lo-o-onesome
I got the lovesick blues

"Low Down Blues"

"Low Down Blues"

LORD I WENT TO THE DOCTOR, HE TOOK ONE LOOK,
HE SAID THE TROUBLE WITH YOU AIN'T IN MY BOOK,
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT IT IS BUT IT AIN'T GOOD NEWS,
YOU'VE GOT AN AWFUL BAD CASE OF THEM LOW DOWN BLUES.

[CHORUS]
I'VE GOT THE MEAN OLD MISERIES IN MY SOUL,
I WENT TO THE RIVER, BUT THE WATER'S TOO COLD,
I'VE WALKED THE FLOOR 'TILL I'VE WORE OUT MY SHOES,
LORD THEY'RE KILLIN' ME, I MEAN THEM LOW DOWN BLUES.

LORD I NEVER KNEW A MAN COULD FEEL SO BAD,
I NEVER KNEW LIVIN' COULD BE SO SAD,
ALL I DO IS SET AND CRY,
LORD I'D HAVE TO GET BETTER, BEFORE I COULD DIE.

[REPEAT CHORUS]

"May You Never Be Alone"

"May You Never Be Alone"

Like a bird that's lost its mate in flight
I'm alone and oh, so blue tonight
Like a piece of driftwood on the sea
May you never be alone like me.

I believed the lies you told to me
When you whispered, "Dear, I worship thee!"
Now here am I alone and blue
All because I loved no one but you.

I gave up my friends, I left my home
When you promised to be mine alone
Now you're gone, our love could never be
May you never be alone like me.

In the bible, God's own words do say
For ev'ry wrong some day you'll pay
I pray the Lord to set me free
May you never be alone like me.

"Men With Broken Hearts"

"Men With Broken Hearts"

You'll meet many just like me upon life's busy street
With shoulders stooped and heads bowed low and eyes that stare in defeat
Or souls that live within the past where sorrow plays all parts
Where a living death is all that's left for men with broken hearts
You have no right to be the judge to criticize and condemn
Just think but for the grace of God it would be you instead of him
One careless step a thoughtless deed and then the misery starts
And to those who weep death comes cheap these men with broken hearts
Oh so humble you should be when they come passing by
For it's written that the greatest men never get too big to cry
Some lose faith in love and life when sorrow shoots her darts
And with hope all gone they walk alone these men with broken hearts
You've never walked in that man's shoes or saw things through his eyes
Or stood and watched with helpless hands while the heart inside you dies
Some were propers some were kings and some were masters of the arts
But in their shame they're all the same these men with broken hearts
Life sometimes can be so cruel that a heart will pray for death
God why must these living dead know pain with every breath
So help your brother along the road no matter where he starts
For the God that made you made them too these men with broken hearts
