"(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle"

"(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle"

I was ridin' number nine
Headin' south from Caroline
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Got in trouble had to roam
Left my gal and left my home
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

Just a kid actin' smart
I went and broke my darlin's heart
I guess I was too young to know
They took me off the Georgia Main
Locked me to a ball and chain
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

All alone I bear the shame
I'm a number not a name
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
All I do is sit and cry
When the ev'nin' train goes by
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

I'll be locked here in this cell
Til my body's just a shell
And my hair turns whiter than snow
I'll never see that gal of mine
Lord, I'm in Georgia doin' time
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

"(I'm Gonna) Sing, Sing, Sing"

"(I'm Gonna) Sing, Sing, Sing"

[CHORUS]
When I get to Glory, I'm gonna sing, sing, sing
I'm gonna let the hallelujahs ring
I'm gonna praise my blessed Saviour's name
When I get to Glory, I'm Gonna sing, sing, sing.

In this world of sorrow, I've seen trouble and woe
When I get to Glory I'll see no more
For I know my prayers have not been in vain
When I get to Glory, I'm gonna sing, sing, sing.

Sometimes I get so weary inside
Then I recall how my Jesus died
Up there I know, there'll be no pain
When I get to Glory, I'm gonna sing, sing, sing.

[CHORUS]

Up there no tears will blind my eyes
And I'll walk along by my Jesus' side
I'll meet my loved ones all once again
When I get to Glory, I'm Gonna sing, sing, sing.

[CHORUS]

"(Last Night) I Heard You Crying In Your Sleep"

"(Last Night) I Heard You Crying In Your Sleep"

I know you tried your best to love me
You smiled when your heart told you to weep
You tried to pretend that you were happy
But last night I heard you crying in your sleep
You gave the best years of your life dear
And each precious vow you tried to keep
I love you so much I want you happy
But last night I heard you crying in your sleep
Your heart is yearning for an old love
It hurts me to know you are unhappy
But last night I heard you crying in your sleep
You know that you are free to go dear
And don't mind if I start to weep
I know I can never make you happy
Cause last night I heard you crying in your sleep

"A Home In Heaven"

"A Home In Heaven"

Around me many are building
Homes of beauty and wealth
But what of a home in Heaven
Where will you live after death

Are you building a Home in Heaven
To live in when this life is o'er
Will you move to that beautiful city
And live with Christ ever more.

Long is the road that leads you
To that beautiful home up there
Is work on your home completed
Death may be lingering near.

Are you ready for His coming
Have you been true all along
Have you finished your building in Glory
Will you move to this Heavenly Home.

"A House Of Gold"

"A House Of Gold"

People steal, they cheat and lie
For wealth and what it will buy
Don't they know on the judgement day
That their gold and silver will melt away

I'd rather be in a deep, dark grave
And know that my poor soul was saved
Than to live in this world in a house of gold
And deny my God and doon my soul

Jesus said ,come on to me
I'll break sin's chains and set you free
I´ll carry you to a home on high
Where you´ll never, never die

What good is gold and silver, too
When your heart's not good and true
Sinner hear me when I say
Fall down on your knees and pray

Jesus died there on the cross
So this world would not be lost
Sinner hear now what I say
For someday you ´ll have to pay

What good is gold and silver too
If your heart's not good and true
Sinner, hear me when I say
Fall down on your knees and pray

"A House Without Love"

"A House Without Love"

For years we both have lived on pride, dear
And we agree that love is gone
Why, oh why do we keep tryin'
A House Without Love is not a home.

The lovelight in your eyes has faded
And I'm contented just to roam
We slaved to gain a worthless treasure
A House Without Love is not a home.

No matter where our footsteps wander
I know we'll both be all alone
With the pride that came between us
A House Without Love is not a home.

The simple things have gone forever
We wanted wealth to call our own
And now we've reached the hour of parting
A House Without Love is not a home.

"A Mansion On The Hill"

"A Mansion On The Hill"

Tonight down here in the valley
I'm lonesome and O how I feel
As I sit here alone in my cabin
I can see your mansion on the hill

Do you recall when we parted
The story to me you revealed
You said you could live without loving
In your loveless mansion on the hill

I've waited all through the years love
To give you a heart true and real
Cause I know you're living in sorrow
In your loveless mansion on the hill

The light shine bright from yer window
The trees stand so silent and still
I know you're alone with your pride dear
In your loveless mansion on the hill

"A Teardrop On A Rose"

"A Teardrop On A Rose"

While strolling thru a lovely garden
As day was drawing to a close...
My eyes beheld a tragic story
I saw a teardrop on a rose.
It should have been a tear of gladness
But deep inside the sorrow shows
A trusting heart had just been broken
I saw a teardrop on a rose.
A sobbing tear that follows parting
Holds all the pain that sorrow knows
A false goodbye a life is shattered
There lies a story on a rose.
The tear will dry the rose will wither

I loved, I lost, my story ended
With just a teardrop on a rose.

"A Tramp On The Street"

"A Tramp On The Street"

Only a tramp was lazarus sad fate
He who lay down at the rich mans gate
He begged for the crumbs from the rich man to eat
He was only a tramp found dead on the street.
he was some mothers darlin, he was some mothers son
Once he was fair and once he was young
And some mother rocked him, her darlin to sleep
But they left him to die like a tramp on the street.
jesus, he died on calvarys tree
He shed his lifes blood for you and for me
They pierced his side and then his feet
And they left him to die like a tramp on the street.
he was marys own darlin, he was gods chosen son
Once he was fair and once he was young
Mary, she rocked him, her darlin to sleep

Then the gods would deny you on the great judgement day.

"All The Love I Ever Had"

"All The Love I Ever Had"

ONE TIME YOU KNOW I LOVED YOU TRUE,
THERE WAS NOTHING I WOULDN'T DO,
BUT YOU HAVE TREATED ME SO BAD,
YOU KILLED ALL THE LOVE I EVER HAD.

YOU LEAVE ME ALONE AND RUN AROUND,
YOU WERE THE TALK OF THE TOWN,
IT MADE YOU GLAD TO SEE ME SAD,
YOU KILLED ALL THE LOVE I EVER HAD.

NO ONE KNOWS THE TORTURE I WENT THROUGH,
LOVING YOU AND KNOWING YOU WERE UNTRUE,
IT'S OVER NOW AND I'M SO GLAD,
YOU KILLED ALL THE LOVE I EVER HAD.

ALL THESE YEARS I'VE SET AND CRIED,
A THOUSAND TIMES MY POOR SOUL DIED,
YOU HAVE TREATED ME SO BAD,
YOU KILLED ALL THE LOVE I EVER HAD.
