"Mighty Clouds Of Joy"

"Mighty Clouds Of Joy"



Those old bad dreams
Been sleeping in your head
Those old dark clouds
Been hanging around your head
But all your hard times
Will vanish in the wind
When the mighty clouds of joy
Come rolling in
Ohhhh, Holy Jesus
Let your love seize us
Oh, let us find sweet peace within
Hallelujah!
Happiness begins,
When the mighty clouds of joy
Come rolling in.
Those old storm clouds
Are slowly drifting by
And those old raindrops
Are fading from your eyes
And oh, Mr. Sun,
Gonna shine on us again
When the mighty clouds of joy
Come rolling in
Ohhhh, Holy Jesus
Let your love seize us
Oh, let us find sweet peace within
Hallelujah!
Happiness begins,
When the mighty clouds of joy
Come rolling in
Holy Jesus
Won´t you let your love seize us
Let us find sweet peace within
Hallelujah!
Happiness begins,
When the mighty clouds of joy
Come rolling in

"Miller's Cave"

"Miller's Cave"



Way down in
The state of Georgia
Down amongst the swamps
And the everglades
There's a big ole hole
In Tiger mountain
God help the man
Who gets lost in Miller's Cave

You know I had me a girl
In Waycross Georgia
But she had unfaithful ways
She made me feel
Just like I wasn't wanted
Like the bats and the bears in Miller's cave

Well, I caught her out
Sunday morning
With some guy
Everybody calls him baby
He's the meanest man
In Waycross Georgia
I'd rather fight a mountain lion in Miller's Cave

So I said
Boy y'all gonna pay for this
Both you and baby
'Cause I'm a gonna see you in your grave
And they laughed at me
So then I shot 'em
Then I dragged their cheatin' skin and bones
On down to Miller's Cave

I couldn't stand
The way she did me
Well I guess I showed
I was brave
The most wanted man
In the state of Georgia
They'll never find me
'Cause I'm lost in Miller's Cave
Yes I'm lost
I can't find my way

"Most Of All"

"Most Of All"



Hello darlin', my – it's good to hear you
I'm at the railroad station in st. Paul
How are all the folks, I'd love to see 'em
But girl I'd love to see you most of all

Well I've been staring at the rain and I've been thinkin'
Ever since the train left Montreal
Thought I'd always love this life I'm living
But now I know I love you most of all

Many times before I know I swore that I'd come home to stay...
But it always seems that foolish dream and trains got in my way

Tomorrow there will be snow in Minnesota
But I won't be around to watch it fall
I'll be heading for that old familiar station...
Hopin' you still love me most of all

Girl , you know I love you most of all
I miss ya baby... Most of all
I miss ya baby, most of all

"Mr. Mailman"

"Mr. Mailman"



Mailman, Mailman
Have you any mail today
I've been waiting for a letter
I've tried to reach her every way

She's way down in New Orleans
And Boston's so far away
Funny how we met in Georgia
It had to be my lucky day

Well I had her name and number
Written down in my little red book
But when my plane flew in back home
It wasn't there when I took a look

Oh no

I know I searched for it everywhere
I wonder what shape my mind was in
But all I know I got to see her again

So mailman, mailman
Won't you help me sleep tonight
Won't you bring me just one letter
And everything will be alright
And everything will be alright

Mr. Mailman
Mr. Mailman
Mr. Mailman

"My Home Town"

"My Home Town"



Done a lot things I'm sorry
For things I wouldn't do anymore
But my biggest mistake of all
Was leaving my home town

Since then my foolish thoughts have died
Grass isn't really greener on the other side

I'm goin' home
Goin' to that city where people care about you
They won't forget you're there
There's a cloud of love
And it's hovering over my hometown

Pretty girls see a lonely you
And in a little while you're walkin' two by two

I'm goin' home
Going to my home town
Yeah, my home town
Back to my home town
Oh, my home town

I'm goin' home
Goin' to that pretty girl who once was mine
Oh, it's been a long long time
And there's a sign saying ten more miles to my hometown

Looking through the misty dawn
I see the city lights and they're waving me on

To my home, to the city I love
That's my home town, oh, my home town
To the home I love, that's my home town
To the city I love, yeah, my home town
To the place I love, oh, my home town

"New Looks From An Old Lover"

"New Looks From An Old Lover"



Early this morning I opened my eyes
And caught you watching me sleep
I'm getting new looks from an old lover again

I love you, I want you forever and always
Was written all over your face
I'm getting new looks from an old lover again

It's such a good feeling
Knowing I that I can still win what I've already won
It's great to know we still can be lovers and friends

It's such a good feeling
Knowing it's better than I ever thought it could be
Because of new looks from an old lover again

I feel your fingers touching my body and mind
As they brush through my hair
I'm getting news looks from an old lover again

And deep in your eyes I see the hunger
That only true love can feed
I'm getting new looks from an old lover again

It's such a good feeling
Knowing I that I can still win what I've already won
It's great to know we still can be lovers and friends

It's such a good feeling
Knowing it's better than I ever thought it could be
Because of new looks from an old lover again
I love those new looks from an old lover again

"No Love At All"

"No Love At All"


Read in the paper nearly day
People breakin' up and just walkin' away from love and that's wrong
That's so wrong

A happy little home comes up for sale
Because two fools have tried and failed to get along
And ya know that's wrong

A man hurts a woman and a woman hurts a man
When neither one of them will love and understa-a-a-a-and
And take it with a grain of salt
Oh, now believe that

A little bit of love is better than no love
Even the bad love is better than no love
And even the sad love is better than no love at a-l-l
Got to believe that
A little bit of love is better than no love
Even the bad love is better than no love
And any kind of love is better than no love at all

Nah-nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah

No love at all is a poor old man
Standin' on the corner with his hat in his hand
And no place to go, he's feelin' low
No love at all is a child in the street
Dodgin' traffic and beggin' to eat on a tenement row
And that's a long row to hoe
No love at all is a troubled young girl
Standin' on a bridge at the end of the wor-or-or-or-ld
And it's a pretty short fall
Now people believe me

A little bit of love is better than no love
Even the bad love is better than no love
And even the sad love is better than no love at a-l-l
Got to believe that
A little bit of love is better than no love
Even the bad love is better than no love
And any kind of love is better than no love at all

Nah-nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah

Oh you got to believe me

A little bit of love is better than no love
Even the bad love is better than no love
And even the sad is better than no love at a-l-l
Got to believe me
A little bit of love is better than no love
Even the bad love is better than no love
And any kind of love is better than no love at all

Got to believe me

[FADE]
A little bit of love is better than no love
Even the bad love is better than no love
And any kind

"Oh Me Oh My"

"Oh Me Oh My"



Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
To make you laugh I'll play the fool for you
Although the people turn and stare
I give my everything to keep you, girl
It breaks my heart when you not there

I'll stage a ballet on a tabletop
Command performance finger sized
And though I have no tune my show won't flop
I'll find the music in your eyes

Oh me, oh my
I'm a fool for ya, baby
Oh me, oh my
Well I'm crazy, well I'm crazy, crazy

Oh me, oh my
I'm a fool for ya, baby
Let your love light shine on me

We'll blow a genie from a cigarette
We'll take a magic carpet ride
We'll tell our smoky friend, now don't forget
You must keep us side by side

Oh me, oh my
I'm a fool for ya, baby
Oh me, oh my
Well I'm crazy, well I'm crazy, crazy

Oh me, oh my
I'm a fool for ya, baby
Let your love light shine on me
Ooh

Oh me, oh my
I'm a fool for ya, baby
Oh me, oh my
Well I'm crazy, well I'm crazy, crazy

Oh me, oh my
I'm a fool for ya, baby
Let your love light shine on me

Oh me, oh my
I'm a fool for ya, baby
Oh me, oh my

"Old Rugged Cross"

"Old Rugged Cross"



On a hill far away, stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of suffering and shame
And I love that old cross
Where the dearest and best
For the world of lost sinners was slain

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it someday for a crown

To the old rugged cross, I will ever be true
It's shame and reproach gladly bared
Then He'll call me someday to my home far away
Where His glory forever I'll share

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it someday for a crown
