"One More Mountain To Climb"

"One More Mountain To Climb"



Hey, Lord
Won't trouble never end?
Tell me
Are you still my friend?
I got such a heavy load
When will
I reach that glory road?

One more mountain to climb
One more river to cross
I come such a long, long way and still
I gotta long way to go
Weary all of the time
I've been tumbled and tossed
There's always one more mountain to climb
One more river to cross

Hey, Lord
I'm nothing but a man
I try to do the best I can
Sometimes the road is hard to see
Please, Lord
Won't you walk along with me?

One more mountain to climb
One more river to cross
I come such a long, long way and still
I gotta long way to go
Weary all of the time and I
I've been tumbled and tossed
There's always one more mountain to climb
One more river to cross

One more mountain to climb
One more river to cross
I come such a long, long way and still
Gotta long way to go
Weary all of the time
I've been tumbled and tossed
There's always one more mountain to climb
And one more river to cross

"One Way Ticket (To The Blues)"



Choo choo train
A-chugginhg down the track
Gotta travel on
Never coming back, whoo, ooo, hoo
Got a one way ticket to the blues

Bye, bye love
My baby's leaving me
Now lonely teardrops are all that I can see, whoo, ooo, hoo
Got a one way ticket to the blues

I'm gonna take a trip to Lonesome Town
Gonna stay at Heartbreak Hotel
A fool such as I there never was
I cried a tear so well

Choo choo train
A-chugginhg down the track
Gotta travel on
Never coming back, whoo, ooo, hoo
Got a one way ticket to the blues

Whoa, got a one way ticket to the blues

I'm gonna take a trip to Lonesome Town
Gonna stay at Heartbreak Hotel
A fool such as I there never was
I cried a tear so well

Choo choo train
A-chugginhg down the track
Gotta travel on
Never coming back, whoo, ooo, hoo
Got a one way ticket to the blues

Whoa, got a one way ticket to the blues

Whoa, got a one way ticket to the blues

"Our Last Song Together"

"Our Last Song Together"



Days of devils, kings and clowns
Angel songs and birthday tunes
Valentines and wishing wells
Magic stairways, moods, and Junes
Silly rhymes and monkeyshines
Pictures on a stage
Round and round the records go
Time to turn the page

This will be our last song together
Words will only make us cry
This will be our last song together
There's no other way to say good-bye

Misty faces, far off places
Came and danced across the stage
Sha na na's and Doo be down's
The sounds that chased away the blues
Yesterday is yesterday
The past is dead and gone
Nostalgia just gets in the way
Let's stop hanging on

This will be our last song together
Words will only make us cry
This will be our last song together
There's no other way to say good-bye

Now we go our separate ways
And the world we used to know
Scratchy worn out 45's
An echo on the radio
Tra la days are over now
Those days of you and me
Now we know that breaking up is
Really hard to do

This will be our last song together
Words will only make us cry
This will be our last song together
There's no other way to say good-bye

There's no other way to say good-bye...

"Perfect Strangers"

"Perfect Strangers"



An afternoon of sad affairs
Shared in the hope of mending broken dreams
The constant struggle after simple pleasures
Finds us perfect strangers you and I

You know I hate to see you cry
And through the tears that fall like winter rain
You say you're tired of merely just surviving
We've so much in common that we're

Perfect strangers singing perfectly in tune
From seperate corners of the room
Held together by our hunger to get by
Perfect strangers you and I

Let's make a toast to no regrets
Wet down the painful sting of sweet love lost
Let evening find us whispering in our whiskey
Come and sit beside me for a while

You know I love to see you smile
And if perhaps you're only passing through
At least we tried to reach an understanding
And for just one moment we were

Perfect strangers singing perfectly in tune
From seperate corners of the room
Held together by our hunger to get by
Perfect strangers you and I

Perfect strangers singing perfectly in tune
From seperate corners of the room
Held together by our hunger to get by
Perfect strangers you and I

"Rainy Day Bells"

"Rainy Day Bells"



Pom, pom, Pitter patter rainy day bells
Pom, pom, pom, Pitter patter rainy day bells
Pom, pom, pom, Pitter patter rainy day bells
Pom, pom, pom, Pitter patter rainy day bells
Rainy day bells (Pitter patter rainy day bells)
Rain in the chapel (Pitter patter rainy day bells)
Telling the people (Pitter patter rainy day bells)
There's gonna be sunshine
Rainy day bells (Pitter patter rainy day bells)
Play by the raindrops
Sing out a message
Don't be a afraid of the storm
Somewhere the sun is shinning
Thru a silver linning, wait and see (wait and see)
Save the rainy day bells (Pitter patter rainy day bells)
(Pitter patter rainy day bells)
Hey little girl (see little girl)
Come to your window
And hear the music sing you a sweet song
Don't let the rain (Don't let the rain)
Make you unhappy in just a moment

"Rosemary Blue"

"Rosemary Blue"



You tried to wake me in the morning,
This was our moment of goodbye
You asked me once, how long I'd love you,
I told you 'till the day I die
And now at last my life is over,
You cannot go where I have gone
I won't be there to share tomorrow,
I love you so, but life goes on
Dry your eyes, Rosemary Blue,
Take a look outside,
There's a world that waits for you
Live your life, Rosemary Blue,
Put your lonely tears away,
Wait an' see, there'll come a day,
I'll be with you

We used to walk the world together,
and found our love along the way
But now you must go on without me,
We cannot live in yesterday
Don't bring your flowers to the church yard,
Only the past is waiting there
You should be out somewhere forgetting,
Wearing those flowers in your hair
Dry your eyes, Rosemary Blue,
Take a look around,
There's a world outside that waits for you
Live your life, Rosemary Blue,
Put your lonely tears away,
Wait an' see, there'll come a day,
I'll be with you
Rosemary Blue,
Rosemary Blue.

"Rubber Duckie"

"Rubber Duckie"



Rubber duckie, swimming in the tub
You always watch me give my face a rub
Each evening that's the thing to do
We're always washing when the day is through

I'll be happy soaking in the bubbles
Then I wash my hair
After I'm finished, I can say my prayers
No one likes you when you're looking dirty
This is surely true
Oh, rubber duckie, I'm so in love with you

Rubber duckie, we can have such fun
Splashing in the water when the day is done
Remember you must always try
Not to get soap suds going in your eye

I'll be happy soaking in the bubbles
Then I wash my hair
After I'm finished, I can say my prayers
No one likes you when you're looking dirty
This is surely true
Oh, rubber duckie, I'm so in love with you, ohh

"Run Samson Run"

"Run Samson Run"



In the bible
One thousand years B.C.
There's a story
Of ancient history
Bout a fella
Who was strong as he could be
Tell he met a cheating gal who brought him tragedy

Oh, run Samson run
Delilah's on her way
Run Samson run
You ain't got time to stay
Run Samson run
On your mark you better start
I'd sooner trust a hungry lion than a gal with a cheating heart

She was a demon (was a demon)
A devil in disguise
He was taken (he was taken)
By the angel in her eyes
That lady barber (lary barber)
Was very well equipped
You can bet your bottom dollar he was gonna get clipped

Oh, run Samson run
Delilah's on her way
Run Samson run
You ain't got time to stay
Run Samson run
On your mark you better start
I'd sooner trust a hungry lion than a gal with a cheating heart

Oh, Delilah (oh, Delilah)
Made Sammy's life a sin
And he perished (and he perished)
When the roof fell in
There's a moral (there's a moral)
So listen to me pal
There's a little of Delilah in each and every gal

So, run Samson run
Delilah's on her way
Run Samson run
You ain't got time to stay
Run Samson run
On your mark you better start
I'd sooner trust a hungry lion than a gal with a cheating heart

I'd sooner trust a hungry lion than a gal with a cheating heart

"Sad Eyes"

"Sad Eyes"



Sad eyes,
Don't you be sad no more,
Sad eyes,
What are you cryin' for?
Just because love's gone, just because love's gone wrong.

Don't ya be gloomy,
Step out into the light,
Baby listen to me,
You're gonna be alright,
You don't have to sing no,
You don't have to sing no sad songs.

I'm gonna write some new lines,
A few lines you can maybe get yourself off on,
For when you're down
To be turned around upon.

Sad eyes,
You've only to live to smile,
Beautiful sad eyes,
You know that I love you child.
I live for the time when,
The time when those sad eyes shine.

Sad eyes,
You've only to live to smile,
Beautiful sad eyes,
You know that I love you child.
I live for the time when,
The time when those sad eyes shine.
I live for the time when,
The time when those sad eyes shine.
Sad eyes

"Sad Sad Story"

"Sad Sad Story"



Look at the lady she's the one with the broken heart
Even so she musn't know that I've loved her from the start
She needs a friend now more than a new romance
I'd love to take her in my arms but I can't take the chance

Ooh it's such a sad sad story but there'll be a happy ending
Just you wait and see what I can do, ooooh
When you see a lady cryin' can you blame a guy for tryin'
To move on in and make his dreams come true

I gotta secret but I'm keeping it to myself
I'm bored to tears when my heart hears that she loves someone else
I tell her I'm sorry but it's really just a lie
Cos every time he hurts her I'm so happy I could die

Ooh it's such a sad sad story but there'll be a happy ending
Just you wait and see what I can do, ooooh
When you see a lady cryin' can you blame a guy for tryin'
To move on in and make his dreams come true

I love the lady and I want to make her smile
I know she's lonely but it only hurts for a little while
Soon as it's over you know the sun is gonna shine
And when she's ready for someone new, guess who's first in line

Ooh it's such a sad sad story but there'll be a happy ending
Just you wait and see what I can do, ooooh
When you see a lady cryin' can you blame a guy for tryin'
To move on in and make his dreams come true

Ooh it's such a sad sad story but there'll be a happy ending
Just you wait and see what I can do, ooooh
When you see a lady cryin' can you blame a guy for tryin'
To move on in and make his dreams come true
