"The Wine Flowed Freely"

"The Wine Flowed Freely"



The days of my youth I remember so well
We lived in a world all our own
Nobody cared where my money came from
If I had it I wasn't alone

Oh, the wine flowed freely and friendship was mine
How they all loved me back then
But here in my prison I'm sitting alone
And now where are all of my friends

So drink and be merry if that is your wish
Your souls, to the Lord, I commend
Remember some day you may be as I am
With nothing, not even a friend

Oh, the wine flowed freely and friendship was mine
How they all loved me back then
But here in my prison I'm sitting alone
And now where are all of my friends

So here's to the freedom I never will have
For me it's not long to the end
But it's better to die then to spend forty years
With the cold prison walls for a friend

Oh, the wine flowed freely and friendship was mine
How they all loved me back then
But here in my prison I'm sitting alone
And now where are all of my friends

"The Wreck Of The Number Nine"

"The Wreck Of The Number Nine"



One cold winter's night not a star was in sight
Then the North wind came howling down the line
With his sweetheart so dear stood a brave engineer
With his orders to pull old Number Nine.

She kissed him goodbye with a tear in her eye
And the joy in his heart he could not hide
For the whole world was bright as she told him that night
That tomorrow she'd be his blushing bride.

Oh the wheels hummed a song as the train rolled along
And the black smoke came pouring from the stack
And the headlight a-gleam seemed to brighten his dream
Of tomorrow when he'd be goin' back.

He sped 'round the hill and his brave heart stood still

A headlight was shining in his face
As he whispered a prayer as he threw on the air
For he knew this would be his final race.

In the wreck he was found lying there on the ground
And he asked them to raise his weary head
As his breath slowly went, this message he sent
To the maiden he knew he could not wed

"There's a little white home that I bought for our own
Where I dreamed we'd be happy, bye and bye
But I'll leave it to you for I know you'll be true
Til we meet at those Golden Gates, goodbye."

"Then I Turned And Walked Slowly Away"

"Then I Turned And Walked Slowly Away"



I saw you last night, again, darlin'
And you seemed just as lovely to me
I watched as you danced with a stranger
And you seemed just as happy as he

I watched as you danced with a stranger
And since you seemed happy and gay
I watched thru a mist in my eyes, love
Then I turned and walked slowly away.

I saw you last night, again, darlin'
And I cried, dear, all night until dawn
A new love has come to your heart, dear
And an old love has faded and gone.

I hope, dear, that you will be happy
There's nothin' more left now to say
I saw you last night, again, darlin'
Then I turned and walked slowly away.

"There Is Power In The Blood"

"There Is Power In The Blood"



Would you be free from your burden of sin
There's power in the blood power in the blood
Would you o'er evil a victory win
There's wonderfull power in the blood

There is power power wonder working power in the blood of the lamb
There is power power wonder working power in the precious blood of lamb

Would you be whiter much wither than snow
There's power in the blood power in the blood
Sin's stains are lost and its life giving flow
There's one flicker power in the blood

There is power power wonder working power in the blood of the lamb
There is power power wonder working power in the precious blood of lamb

Would you do service for Jesus your king
There's power in the blood power in the blood
Would you lift David his praises to sing
There's wonderfull power in the blood

There is power power wonder working power in the blood of the lamb
There is power power wonder working power in the precious blood of lamb

"They'll Never Take Her Love From Me"

"They'll Never Take Her Love From Me"



If today the sun should set on all my hopes and cares
There is one who's smiling face the Gods would see
Cause she'll walk along beside me up those golden stairs
Oh they'll never never take her love from me

I thought I'd make her happy if I'd step aside
But I knew her love would never set me free
And even on the morning she became another's bride
I said they'd never never take her love from me

I'm so thankful for each golden hour of happiness
That we shared together in the used to be
Though another's arms may hold her now in fond embrace
I said they'd never never take her love from me

I thought I'd make her happy if I'd step aside
But I knew her love would never set me free
And even on the morning she became another's bride
I said they'd never never take her love from me

"They're Hanging Me Tonight"

"They're Hanging Me Tonight"



When I hear the rain a comin' down it makes me sad and blue
Was on a rainy night like this that Flo said we were through.
I told her how I loved her, and I begged her not to go
But another man had changed her mind so I said goodbye to Flo.

Alone within my cell tonight my heart is filled with fear
The only sound within the room is the falling of each tear.
I think about the thing I've done, I know it wasn't right
They'll bury Flo tomorrow, but they're hanging me tonight,
They're hanging me tonight!

That night he came and took my Flo and headed in to town
I knew I had to find this man and try to gun him down
As I walked by a dim cafe and I looked through the door
I saw my Flo with her new love and I couldn't stand no more,
I couldn't stand no more.

I took my pistol from my hip and with a trembling hand
I took the life of pretty Flo and that good for nothin' man
That good for nothin' man!
I think about the thing I've done I know it wasn't right
They'll bury Flo tomorrow, but they're hanging me tonight,
They're hanging me tonight.

"This Broken Heart Of Mine"

"This Broken Heart Of Mine"



Pictures for my souvineers
Old love letters stained with tears
Memories of someone I cannot forget
Though the love we shared is gone
Sweetest dreams still linger on
And I still love you just the same as when we met

Someone else took you away
Even though I prayed and prayed
Still you left me and the truest love behind
Someone else with many charms
Took you from my lovin' arms
But they can't take you from this broken heart of mine

I'd give anything to hear
Those lovin' words again, my dear
From the sweetest lips that I have ever kissed
I'd give anything if I
Could remember not to cry
When I see somebody else sharin' your kiss

Someone else took you away
Even though I prayed and prayed
Still you left me and the truest love behind
Someone else with many charms
Took you from my lovin' arms
But they can't take you from this broken heart of mine

"This Peaceful Sod"

"This Peaceful Sod"



I'm just a poor cowboy singin' his song
No money to jingle as I ride along
I'm rejected by men but accepted above
I belong in this valley on this peaceful sod

Let me ride from the mountains to the dark rolling sea
I'm broke but I'm wealthy because I am free
Let me walk in this valley where my fathers had trod
Let me live forever on this peaceful sod

Let me live on this land till I'm withered and old
Till I'm meek and I'm humble and the Lord wants my soul
Let me live in this valley where my fathers had trod
Let me live forever on this peaceful sod

"This Song"

"This Song"



If you're among those with a sad lonely heart
You're just getting over a world torn apart
If the only one you wanted says she doesn't want you
This song's especially for you

This song has meaning for those who've loved and lost
This song is special to the ones love's doubled crossed
So if you're among the many who've been dropped for someone new
This song's especially for you

This song was written for those who wanna die
It has a line with a place left to cry
So if you've known just heartaches, they're still hurtin' clear through
This song's especially for you

This song has meaning for those who've loved and lost
This song is special to the ones love's doubled crossed
So if you're among the many who've been dropped for someone new
This song's especially for you

"Till Hell Freezes Over"

"Till Hell Freezes Over"



I passed you on the street today
And as your eyes met mine
I saw somethin' and it took me by surprise
For the first time in a long time
I didn't break and cry
'Cause today I finally saw me in your eyes

I've kept from goin' crazy
With this little thread of hope
Old memories have helped me to survive
In every prayer I prayed is
Help to make things come out right
'Cause today I finally saw me in your eyes

A long, long time ago
You asked me just how long I'd wait
Until Hell freezes over, I replied
The fire of love lunged through me
And I trembled like a child
'Cause today I finally saw me in your eyes

I've made believe so many times
That someone else was you
It didn't work no matter how I tried
'Cause no matter what my lips would say
My heart knew my lips lied
And today I finally saw me in your eyes

A long, long time ago
You asked me just how long I'd wait
Until Hell freezes over, I replied
The fire of love lunged through me
And I trembled like a child
'Cause today I finally saw me in your eyes
Yes, today I finally saw me in your eyes
