"My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy"

"My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy"


From a shack by a mountain stream
To a room in New Orleans
So far from my Blue Ridge Mountain home
The men I meet ain't warm and friendly
Like the one in old Virginie
Oh they ain't real like my Blue Ridge Mountain boy
I was just a little past eighteen
When I came to New Orleans
I'd never been beyond my home state line
There was a boy who loved me dearly
But I broke his heart severely
When I left my Blue Ridge Mountain boy
Life was dull in my hometown
Lights were out when the sun went down
And I thought that city life was more my style
But nights get lonely away from home
And it's easy to go wrong
The men ain't kind like my Blue Ridge Mountain boy
New Orleans held things in store
Things I'd never bargained for
And every night a different man knocks on my door
But late at night when all is still
I can hear a whippoorwill
As I cry for my Blue Ridge Mountain boy
Oh but I can never go back home
Since the boy I love is gone
He grew tired of waiting for me to return
They say he married last October
But I never will get over
Oh the sweet love of my Blue Ridge Mountain boy
Blue Ridge Mountain boy

"My Blue Tears"

"My Blue Tears"


Fly away from my window little blue bird
Fly as far as you can away from here
And let not your song fall upon my ear
Go spread your blue wings and I'll shed my blue tears
For the one that I have loved
He has left me and gone
An' I'm in no mood for to hear your sad song

Bring not your light into my dark room, yellow sunshine
Waste not your warmth on the cold glisten here
Oh, trouble me not
Go ye elsewhere
Go light your blue sky and I'll shed my blue tears

For the only one that I have ever loved has gone away
An' I'm in no mood for the sunshine today

Go spread your blue wings
Go light your blue sky
An' I'll shed my blue tears

"My Country 'Tis"

"My Country 'Tis"


My country tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
Of thee I sing
Land where my fathers died
Land of the pilgrim's pride
From every mountain side
Let freedom ring
My native country, thee
Land of the noble free
Thy name I love
I love thy rocks and rills
Thy woods and templed hills
My heart with rapture fills
Like that above

Let music swell the breeze
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song
Let mortal tongues awake
Let all that breathe partake
Let rocks their silence break
The sound prolong

Our Father God to, Thee
Author of liberty
To Thee I sing
My country 'tis of Thee
Sweet land of liberty
For all eternity
Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring
My country 'tis, my country 'tis of Thee

"My Eyes Can Only See You"

"My Eyes Can Only See You"


When your eyes meet mine my heart beats out of time
And I burn with desire through and through
I can't help myself I can't see no one else cause my eyes can only see you
My eyes can only see you my eyes can only see you
Your face is always in view for my eyes can only see you
I want you so much and I long for your touch and your eyes tell me you want me too

Oh it may not be right but I'm too weak to fight and my eyes can only see you
My eyes can only see you...
And my eyes can only see you

"My Girl (My Love)"

"My Girl (My Love)"


I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
And when it's cold outside well I've got the month of May
I guess you say what could make me feel this way
My love my love my love talking bout my love my love
I've got so much honey you know the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song oh than the birds in trees
Oh and I know I know I know what you're gonna say
What what could make me feel this way
My love my love my love talkin' about my love my love
[Choir]
I don't need no money don't need the right or chance for fame
And I've got all the riches baby than anyone could want to claim
Ah oh and I know I know I know...

"My Heart Started Breaking"

"My Heart Started Breaking"


Love can make you feel just like you own the world
Or it can make you wish you've never seen it
The lips of one you love can give you cause for living
Or tell you things that never really mean it
Once I had a love I thought that it was mine just thought to take it
And all at once he left and all at once my heart started breaking breaking
Judging by my love for him I thought his love for me was just as strong
And all the things he told me I really thought he meant them all alone
He had no plans to carry out all his plans that we'd been making
Cause all at once he left and all at once my heart started breaking breaking
Oh all at once I realized love can be a cruel and hurtin' thing
It can fill your world with sunshine but it can also bring you rain
And I know where the clouds would gather in my sunny sky of love
The rain came down he let me down he left and my heart started breaking
breaking

"My Kind Of Man"

"My Kind Of Man"


If I'm not your kind of woman being just the way I am
Then I know you're really not my kind of man
I don't believe you have the right to ask me to be different
Either take me like I am or let me be
If you really love me I mean really love all of me
You wouldn't want to change one part of me
If you can't be satisfied with me the way I am
If I can't make you happy find someone who can
If I'm not your kind of woman being just the way I am
Then I know you're really not my kind of man
I couldn't make you happy if I let you change me
For I know you wouldn't love me that a way
I can only be myself but if you want something else
Then I can see no reason I should stay
If you can't be satisfied...
If I'm not your kind of woman...

"My Tennessee Mountain Home"

"My Tennessee Mountain Home"


Sittin' on the front porch on a summer afternoon
In a straightback chair on two legs, leans against the wall
Watch the kids a' playin' with June bugs on a string
And chase the glowin' fireflies when evenin' shadows fall

[Chorus:]
In my Tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
In my Tennessee mountain home
Crickets sing in the fields near by

Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane
Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet
And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads its wings
An' a songbird on a fence post sings a melody

[Chorus]

Walkin' home from church on a Sunday with the one ya' love
Just laughin', talkin', making future plans
And when the folks ain't lookin', you might steal a kiss or two
Sittin' in the porch swing, holdin' hands

[Chorus]

"Never Not Love You"

"Never Not Love You"


I may not climb that Everest
Win praise in others' eyes
I may not win the lottery
Win the Pulitzer Prize
I may not sail the ocean
In a blown apart canoe
But I will never, never not love you

I might not be in fashion
Might not be all that smart
Might not be that good lookin'
Not someone set apart

Might not stand in the spotlight
That shines upon the pew
But I will never, never not love you

I will never not
Light up when I see you
I will never not
Feel you through and through
There are many things
I may or may not do
But I will never, never not love you

I may not offer riches
Or make a bed to do
I may not give you many things
That you're accustomed to
I may not be worthy of you
I just hope my love will
Cause I will never, never not love you

No matter where you are
No matter what you do
I will not be caught
Not loving you

May not set world records
But I can promise you
That I will never, never not love
You

No I will never, never not love you

"Nickels And Dimes"

"Nickels And Dimes"


I used to stand on a corner when I was a child
And I'd play my guitar and sing as the people went by
The sidewalks were crowded but I'd just sing louder cause I didn't mind
Just spending my time, spinning my rhymes and singing for nickels and dimes
Nickels and dimes a song at a time for nickels and dimes
I'd brighten their day as they go on their way and they'd brighten mine
A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that I held in my mind
I knew that someday in my own special I'd repay all their nickels and dimes
I recall the sidewalk each night as I stand on the stage
As I play my guitar and sing for the people who paid
Cause I finally made it to what they all call the big time
But I still remember I still owe some nickels and dimes
Nickels and dimes a song at a time for nickels and dimes
A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that I held in my mind
So if you remember a child on the corner of time
You'll know that I wrote this to repay your nickels and dimes
Nickels and dimes a song at a time for nickels and dimes
A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that I held in my mind
So if you remember a child on a corner of time
You'll know that I wrote this to repay your nickels and dimes
Nickels and dimes a song at a time for nickels and dimes
A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that I held in my mind
So if you remember a child on a corner of time
You'll know that I wrote this to repay your nickels and dimes
