"This World Is Not My Home"

"This World Is Not My Home"


This world is not my home, I'm just passing through.
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue.
The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

[Chorus:]
O Lord you know I have no friend like you
If Heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do?
The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
They're all expecting me and that's one thing I know.
My Savior pardoned me and now I onward go.
I know He'll take me through, though I am weak and poor.

[Chorus:]
O Lord you know I have no friend like you
If Heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do?
The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
Just up in Glory Land we'll live eternally.
The Saints on every hand are shouting victory.
Their song of sweetest praise drifts back from Heaven's shore
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

[Chorus:]
O Lord you know I have no friend like you
If Heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do?
The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

"Three Leaf Shamrock"

"Three Leaf Shamrock"


In the dock a ship was anchored
On a bright St. Patrick's day
On the quay a lass was sighing
For her lover going away.

In her hand she held an emblem
And its parted leaves were three
And her parting words were "Darlin'
Look at these and think of me."

Three leaf shamrock I adore thee
Your three leaves I long to see
When there's brighter days in Ireland
I'll come home and marry thee.

Just before the ship had started
As she laid her hand on mine
Just before that we had parted
She looked with loving eyes so kind.

To my coat she pinned an emblem
And its parted leaves were three
And her parting words were "Darlin'
Look at these and think of me."

But tonight I am an exile
Far from home and far from thee
Next my heart I'll wear your token
Love no matter where I live.

And although the seas divide us
And your face I might never see
When there's brighter days in Ireland
I come home and marry thee.

Three leaf shamrock I adore thee
Your three leaves I long to see
When there's brighter days in Ireland
I'll come home and marry thee...

"Tipperary Girl"

"Tipperary Girl"


[Chorus:]
Hair of gold eyes of blue
Prettiest girl I ever knew
Skin as white as precious pearl
She was my Tipperary girl

She just chanced to pass me by
Pretty as a peach in a pumpkin pie
Fresh as a flower in full bloom
Sweet as a sunny summer's afternoon

I was smitten she got me good
I never thought that Cupid could
Speared me down into my soul
Spun me round like a batted ball

[Chorus]

I was courting pure romance
I asked her if she'd like to dance
Smiled at me and took my hand
Swung me 'til I couldn't stand

[Chorus]

She could dance and she could swing
Like a new born lamb in spring
Up and down and to and fro
Round and round and round we'd go

[Chorus]

I fell heads and over heels
Heart was thumping jigs and reels
Twitched and twittered I'll at ease
Like Hound dog scratching fleas

Now young and foolish Old and wise
Enter love with open eyes
Treat her right from the start
Or that Tipperary will break your heart.

[Chorus 2x]

"Too Long At The Fair"

"Too Long At The Fair"


I wanted the music to play on forever
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
I wanted the clown to be constantly clever
Have I stayed too long at the fair?

I bought me blue ribbons to tie up my hair,
But I couldn't find anybody to care;
The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt now
Have I stayed too long at the fair?

The music has stop and the children must go now
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
Oh, mother dear, I know you're very proud,
Your little girl in gingham is so far above the crowd;

No, daddy dear, You never could have known
That I would be successful, yet so very much alone
I wanted to live in a carnival city,
With laughter and love everywhere;

I wanted my friends to be thrilling and witty,
I wanted somebody to care;
I found my blue ribbons all shiny and new
But now I discover them no longer blue

The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt me,
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
There's nothing to win
And there's no one to want me

Have I stayed too long at the fair?

"Travellin' Light"

"Travellin' Light"


Got no bags and baggage to slow me down
I'm travelling so fast my feet ain't touching the ground
Travellin' light, Travellin' light,
Well I just can't wait to be with my baby tonight.

No comb and no toothbrush, I've got nothing to haul
I'm carryin' only, a pocket full of dreams, a hand full of love
And they weigh nothing at all

Soon I'm going to see that love look in her eyes
I'm a hoot and a holler away from paradise
Travellin' light, Travellin' light,
I just can't wait to be with my baby tonight.

No comb and no toothbrush, I've got nothing to haul
I'm carryin' only, a pocket full of dreams, a hand full of love
And they weigh nothing at all

Soon I'm going to see that love look in her eyes
I'm a hoot and a holler away from paradise
Travellin' light, Hmmnn..
Well I just can't wait to be with my baby tonight.
Hmmnn... [Fade]

"Twelfth Of Never"

"Twelfth Of Never"


You ask me how much I need you, must I explain?
I need you, oh my darling, like roses need rain
You ask how long I'll love you, I'll tell you true
Until the Twelfth of Never, I'll still be loving you

Hold me close, never let me go
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow

I'll love you 'til the bluebells forget to bloom
I'll love you 'til the clover has lost its perfume
I'll love you 'til the poets run out of rhyme
Until the Twelfth of Never and that's a long, long time

Until the Twelfth of Never and that's a long, long time

"Two Little Orphans"

"Two Little Orphans"


Two little children, a girl and a boy
Stood by an old church door
The little girls feet were as brown as the curls
That hung upon the dress that she wore

The little boy's coat was all tattered and torn
And tears hung in his blue eyes
Why Don't you go home to your mother I said
And this was the maiden's reply

Mama's in Heaven, Angels took her away
She is gone to that land fair and bright
She said she would come for her darlings some day
Perhaps she will come tonight

We can't earn our bread, we're too little, she said
Jim's five and I'm only seven
We can't earn our living since Papa is dead
And our darling Mama's in heaven

Papa got drowned on the sea long ago
We waited all night by the shore
For he was a lifesaving captain you know
And he never came back anymore

Perhaps, there's no room up in Heaven, she said
For two little darlings to keep
She then placed her hand under Jims little head
She kissed him, and both fell asleep

The sexton came early to ring the church bell
And found them beneath the snow white
The angels made room for two orphans to dwell
In heaven with Mama that night

"Until The Next Time"

"Until The Next Time"


We came here together this evening
To meet with old friends that are true
'Cause over the years we've grown closer
That's what's happened between me and you

Somehow things in life keep on changing
And nothing it seems stays the same
But the times that we share, that old feeling's still there
And the song in my heart I declare

May the road rise to meet you
And may all of your fears disappear
May all of your problems be small ones
Till the next time we're all gathered here

Let's be thankful for all of the good things
We have in our lives every day
So until the next time I see you
Close to my heart you will stay

Well, now the time's come for the parting
Once more we must go our own way
Tonight we have made some more memories
And nothing can take them away

Leaving this place, just remember
As we travel life's journey each day
The road that takes us away will take us back here some day
So, until we're together this way

May the road rise to meet you
And may all of your fears disappear
May all of your problems be small ones
Till the next time we're all gathered here

Let's be thankful for all of the good things
We have in our lives every day
So until the next time I see you
Close to my heart you will stay

So until the next time I see you
Close to my heart you will stay

"Veil Of White Lace"

"Veil Of White Lace"


The church door was opened as I stepped inside
I went there hoping that she'd changed her mind
There were beautiful roses in a bridal bouquet
Where she stood at the altar in a veil of white lace

A stranger in silence reached out for her hand
And placed on her finger a gold wedding band
There was happiness written in a smile on his face
But I couldn't see hers for the veil of white lace

I pitied the stranger for all he could see
Was their life together 'til eternity
My heart filled with anger as I pictured the face
Of a false hearted quitter 'neath a veil of white lace

I reached in my pocket when the wedding was done
My hand touched a locket then it fell on a gun
It shattered the silence as it left its trace
Stains of red crimson on a veil of white lace

I ran from the church house as I threw down the gun
But stopped at the door step for there crossing the lawn
My darling said she had decided to wait
Death to a stranger 'neath a veil of white lace

Yes it's death to a stranger 'neath a veil of white lace

"Wait A Little Longer Please Jesus"

"Wait A Little Longer Please Jesus"


Wait a little longer please Jesus
There are so many still wandering out in sin
Just a little longer please Jesus
A few more days to get our loved ones in.

Here the labor is so hard and the workers are so tired
And our weary hearts are yearning for a rest
And we find we're getting anxious to be in that happy home
Where we'll receive such peace and happiness.

We may look into the skies and tears will fill our eyes
While our burdened hearts grow heavier with each day
First we cry oh Lord please come, come and take your children home
But then we look around us and we say.

Wait a little longer please Jesus
There are so many still wandering out in sin
Just a little longer please Jesus
A few more days to get our loved ones in.

The family's scattered here and there but Lord we love them dear
And maybe we can help them find their way
Then if waiting is the cost that they may not be lost
Lord that's the only reason why we say

Wait a little longer please Jesus
There are so many still wandering out in sin
Just a little longer please Jesus
A few more days to get our loved ones in.

Just a little longer please Jesus
A few more days to get our loved ones in.
