"Give My Love To Rose"

"Give My Love To Rose"


I found him by the railroad track this morning
I could see that he was nearly dead
I knelt down beside him and I listened
Just to hear the words the dying fellow said

He said they let me out of prison down in Frisco
For ten long years I've paid for what I've done
I was trying to get back to Louisiana
To see my Rose and get to know my son

[Chorus:]
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose

Tell them I said thanks for waiting for me
Tell my boy to help his mom at home
Tell my Rose to try to find another
For it ain't right that she should live alone

Mister here's a bag with all my money
It won't last them long the way it goes
God bless you for finding me this morning
And don't forget to give my love to Rose

[Chorus:]
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose

"Go On Blues"

"Go On Blues"



Go on blues go on lonesome
Get your dark clouds off of me
Go on blues go on troubles
Turn loose of me set me free

I've been down through that valley with you
Now I've found me somebody who loves me too
Go on blues go away from me
Go on by me go on blues

I've been down through that valley with you
Now I've found me somebody who loves me too
Go on blues go away from me
Go on by me go on blues

Yeah go on blues go on by me
Get away from me go on blues

"God Ain't No Stained Glass Window"

"God Ain't No Stained Glass Window"



There's so much I don't know
There's so much I don't know
I don't understand why the summer's so hot
I don't understand why an apple core rots
And I have no idea when I'll see a rainbow
But there's one thing I do know

I know that God ain't no stained glass window
And I believe there is a Holy Ghost
I know that God ain't no stained glass window
'Cause He never keeps His window closed

There's so much I don't see
There's so much I don't see
I don't see how hair can turn silver-grey
I don't see why my prayers can't get answered right away
I don't see why some folks keep a load in their mind
With a sharp axe to grind

And I don't understand why the truth takes a twist
I don't understand why there is loneliness
I don't know why they claim some men have no soul
But there's one thing I do know

I know that God ain't no stained glass window
And I believe there is a Holy Ghost
I know that God ain't no stained glass window
'Cause He never keeps His window closed

No, He never keeps His window closed

"God Bless Robert E. Lee"

"God Bless Robert E. Lee"



When Robert E Lee surrended the Confederacy
Jefferson Davis was upset about it
He said how dare that man resent an order
Form the president of the Confederate States of America
Then somebody told him that General Lee had made the decision himself

In order to save lives because he felt that the battle comin' up
Would cost about 20 000 lives on both sides
And he said 240 000 dead already is enough
So this song is not about the North or the South but about the bloody brother war
Brother against brother father against son the war that nobody won

And for all those lives that were saved I gotta say God bless Robert E Lee
Well the mansion where the General used to live is burning down

Cottonfields are blue with Sherman's troups
I overheard a yankee say yesterday Nashville fell
So I'm on my way to join the fight General Lee might need my help
But look away look away Dixie I don't want them to see
What they're doing to my Dixie God bless Robert E Lee

Sherman's troups burned Atlanta and the flames lit up the sky
And those of us who survived it are watchin' my Dixie die
But today at Appamattox General Lee sat down
And surrended to the yankees and Ulysees S Grant
So look away look away Dixie...

I won't ever stop loving you my Dixie till they put me in the ground
And the last words they probably hear from me are God bless Robert E Lee

"God Is Not Dead"

"God Is Not Dead"



When Jesus called to God upon the cross
No answer came for his will must be done
Then how the word trembled at his voice
When he said this is my beloved son

It isn't God but man that's dead
When love is locked outside
Do you deny that there's a God or is God just denied
God is not dead he never died

What man on earth can make one blade of grass
And who can make one seed then make it grow
With all the power and wisdom in our hands
Who can command which way the wind to blow

And who can match the miracle in an eagle's eye
Or hang a rainbow in a cloudy sky
God is not dead he did not die
God is not dead God is not dead

"God Must Have My Fortune Laid Away"

"God Must Have My Fortune Laid Away"



God has my fortune laid away

Oh, the world is full of people with money just to burn
Affording all the things in life for which a man might yearn
Some can take life easy but I live from day by day
God has my fortune laid away
(Laid away)

I search for sunshine every day but there always comes the rain
The hope over my horizon was smoke without a flame
Pockets that stay empty, dreams that go astray
God has my fortune laid away
(God has my fortune laid away laid away, laid away)

Oh how often I have wondered why some things have to be
Some people live in riches while some live just like me
The more I try to work and save the more I have to pay
But God has my fortune laid away
(Laid away)

I search for sunshine every day but there always comes the rain
The hope over my horizon was smoke without a flame
Pockets that stay empty, dreams that go astray
God has my fortune laid away

"God Will"

"God Will"



God will walk with me down the streets where no one else will walk
God will talk with me of things that no one else will talk
When no one else will walk and no one else will talk
When no one will, God will

God will share with me the little worries no one knows are there
God will care for me whenever there is no one else to care
When no one will be there and no one else will share
When no one will, God will

God will think of me when friends forget and fail to understand
God will strengthen me when I am weak and need a helping hand
When no one understands or lends a helping hand
When no one will, God will, when no one will, God will

"God's Gonna Cut You Down"

"God's Gonna Cut You Down"



You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've been down on bended knee talkin' to the man from Galilee
He spoke to me in the voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet
He called my name and my heart stood still
When he said, "John go do My will!"

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's done in the dark will be brought to the light

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down

"God's Hands"

"God's Hands"


[Johnny Cash:]
Yesterday when I came home I was just about read to scream
My work’s been driving me crazy and the bills are burying me
The weight of the world was on me, I was sinking like a stone
But I have come to realize I can’t do it on my own

[Johnny and Carter Family:]
I’m going to put it into God’s hands, start living on God’s plans
Going to do the best I can, that’s all I can do
I’m going to put away my doubts, somehow it’ll all work out
And I can rest easy now that I’ve put it into God’s hands

[Johnny:]
My momma always told me you can’t live by bread alone
You got to have faith in the good Lord’s grace and keep on keeping on
Accept the things that you can’t change and change the things you can
And if you ever catch yourself worrying just put it into God’s hands

[Johnny and Carter Family:]
I’m going to put it into God’s hands, start living on God’s plans
Going to do the best I can, that’s all I can do
Going to put away my doubts, somehow it’ll all work out
And I can rest easy now that I’ve put it into God’s hands
I’m going to put it into God’s hands, start living on God’s plans
Going to do the best I can, that’s all I can do
I’m going to put away my doubts, somehow it’ll all work out
And I can rest easy now that I’ve put it into God’s hands
Going to put it into God’s hands, start living on God’s plans
Going to do the best I can, that’s all I can do
Going to put away my doubts, somehow it’ll all work out
And I can rest easy now that I’ve put it into God’s hands

"Godshine"

"Godshine"



Well a light from the sun comes shinin'
Oh happy day oh happy day
And then along come a big old moon to light my way
And then the stars kinda twinkle and they light this path of mine
And mine
I can't see a thing in his world without a little Godshine

Well Jesus is the beam on the left of me
Comin' right through the shadow on the right
Lord all the dark corners within my soul need you fire day and night
Well the sun and the moon and the stars wouldn't even hold a candle in my life
I'm in the dark when the sun is high
I need just a little bit of Godshine

Well Jesus died and there's a lot of folks feel regret
But on the other hand there are people that are laughin' yet
Laughin' about a man that lived and died divine
He could have lived on but he wouldn't stop spreadin' that Godshine

Well Jesus is the beam on the left of me
Comin' right through the shadow on the right
Lord all the dark corners within my soul need you fire day and night
Well the sun and the moon and the stars wouldn't even hold a candle in my life
I'm in the dark when the sun is high
I need just a little bit of Godshine

Well Jesus is the beam on the left of me
Comin' right through the shadow on the right
Lord all the dark corners within my soul need you fire day and night
Well the sun and the moon and the stars wouldn't even hold a candle in my life
I'm in the dark when the sun is high
I need just a little bit of Godshine

I'm in the dark when the sun is high I need just a little bit of Godshine
