"King Of The Road"

"King Of The Road"


Trailer for sale or rent
Rooms to let...fifty cents.
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but..two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.

I know every engineer on every train
All of their children, and all of their names
And every handout in every town
And every lock that ain't locked
When no one's around.

I sing,
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.

Third boxcar, midnight train
Destination...Portland, Maine.
Old worn out suits and shoes,
I don't pay no union dues,
I smoke old stogies I have found
Short, but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.

Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road...

"Kiss An Angel Good Mornin'"

"Kiss An Angel Good Mornin'"


Whenever I chance to meet
Some old friend who's on the street
They wonder how does a man
Get to be this way?

I've always got a smiling face
Anytime and any place
Everytime they ask me why
I just smile and say.

You've got to
Kiss an angel good morning
Let her know you think about her
When you're gone
Kiss an angel good morning
And love her like the devil
When you get back home.

Well, people may try to guess
The secret of happiness
But some of them never learn
That it's a simple thing.

The secret I'm a-speaking of
Is a woman and a man in love
The answer is in this song
That I always sing.

You've got to
Kiss an angel good morning
Let you know you think about her
When you're gone
Kiss an angel good morning
Love her like the devil
When you get back home.

Kiss an angel good morning
Let you know you think about her
When you're gone
Kiss an angel good morning
Love her like the devil
When you get back home.

Kiss an angel good morning...

"Kneel At The Feet Of Jesus"

"Kneel At The Feet Of Jesus"


Well I guess I been hanging around too long
It's just about time I was moving along
I'm a gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
Don't you worry and don't you moan
It's just about time I was moving along
I'm a gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
I'm gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
I'm gonna leave this sinful world before the dawning
And don't you worry and don't you moan
It's just about time I was moving on
Just before you carry me away
Don't you bury me deep cause I ain't gonna stay
I'm a gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
Just a little bit of dirt and a little bit of gravel
Don't you weigh me down cause you know I gotta travel
I'm a gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
I'm gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus...

"Last Letter"

"Last Letter"


Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend?
What have I done that has made you so different and cold?
Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again
Will you be happy when you are withered and old?

I cannot offer you diamonds and mansions so fine
I cannot buy you clothes that your young body craves
But if you'll say that you long to forever be mine
Take off the heartaches, the sorrow, the teardrops you'll save

When you are lonely remember this letter, my own
Don't try to answer though I've suffered anguish untold
And if you don't love me I wish you would leave me alone

"Last Town I Painted"

"Last Town I Painted"


I came home the other night I've been out on a town
I searched talk through the house she was not around
I finally found her note it red this is goodbye to you
And that's the last town I painted and I painted it blue
Now that I have lost her I don't want to live
I done all the takin' I didn't want to give
Time has come it's plain to see the devil must pay his dues
And that's the last town I painted and I painted it blue
I still go to the tavern that I went to before
I search for the fun I had it's not there anymore
If I could have her back again I know I would be true
Cause the last town I painted I painted it blue
Now blue is not my favorite color cause it makes me sad
Why I asked for all these blues when I'm usin' too much red
I've got a lotta troubles no one to tell it to
Cause the last town I painted I painted it blue

"Leaning On The Everlasting Arms"

"Leaning On The Everlasting Arms"


What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.

Oh, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
Oh, how bright the path grows from day to day,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.

What have I to dread, what have I to fear,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms...

"Learning To Do Without Me"

"Learning To Do Without Me"


See the girl at the table sipping on wine
Would you believe that once she was mine
Oh Lord how she loved me and never complained
While doing without for my foolish dream

She found some rainbows I couldn't see
While she learn to do without so many things
She's slowly learning to do without me

She's learning the ways talk of wild side of life
Some stranger would hold her for the first time tonight
While she learn to do without so many things
Now she's slowly learning to do without me

She did without diamonds on her wedding band
But she could not do without the love of her man
While she learn to do without so many things
She's slowly learning to do without me

While she learn to do without so many things
She's slowly learning to do without me

"Least Of All"

"Least Of All"


(Oh, least of all,)
(Least of all you)

Who in all this world did I
Think would be untrue
Woh woh, least of all
Least of all, you.

Who did I expect the last
And tell me we were through
Wooh, least of all
Least of all, you.

You, who were so understanding me
Who said to me
We would always be together
Through eternity.

Who now would I like to see
Her the way I do
Wooh, least of all
Least of all, you.

You who were so understanding me
Who said to me
We would always be together
Through eternity.

Who now would I like to see
Her the way I do
Woh Woh, least of all
Least of all, you.

Ohh, least of all
Least of all, you...

"Leaving Love All Over The Place"

"Leaving Love All Over The Place"


The man who ran the motel said
We couldn't spend the nights there anymore
Said it'd take a week to clean the room
Twenty-three and put new carpet on the floor

Said we harmed his reputation
And what about the shame and disgrace
But we just never learned to love
Without leaving love all over the place

The lady at the rooming house
Served our eviction notice yesterday
While we were picking up our cloths
She started screaming somebody's gonna pay

She said it takes a dozen carpenters
To fix the broken bed and drapes
But we just never learned to love
Without leaving love all over their place

Loving always came to us easy
I know it always will
And we don' need nobody to roll us down
The other side when we're over the hill

The mourners formed a single line
As they filled by to pay their last respects
And they couldn't help but wonder
How two lovers could break each others necks

And they wondered why the undertakers
Couldn't take the smiles from off their face
Then a preacher said
"Dearly beloved, why that sweet couple"

"They just never learned to love
Without leavin' love all over the place"
No, we never learned to love
Without leavin' love all over the place

"Let A Little Loving Come In"

"Let A Little Loving Come In"


Why don't you let a little lovin', let a little lovin'
Let a little lovin' come in
Open up your window to your heart and let it in.
Won't you let a little lovin' come in.

Well, ain't no use in you keepin' all that misery bottled up inside you
You could have a blast and forget about the past
If you'd only give yourself a chance
Why do you do a little hopin' and quit all that mopin'
Well if you had?
And it wouldn't take a second glance.

If you just let a little lovin', let a little lovin'
Let a little lovin' come in
Open up your window to your heart and let it in.
Won't you let a little lovin' come in.

Let a little lovin', let a little lovin'
Let a little lovin' come in.

Tall dark and handsome come in.

Let a little lovin' come in.
