"Old Kind Of Love"

"Old Kind Of Love"



As it's the newest craze in town
There's an old kind of love goin' 'round
Husbands are being true to their wives again
And women taking care to take care of their men
And families are really growing strong
'Cause mamas and daddies are holdin' on

There's an old kind of love goin' 'round
A new generation has found
And it's a mighty welcomed sight to see
'Cause things are getting back to the way they used to be

When hearts could stand strong against the wind
And though the times are tougher than they've ever been
It's the newest craze in town
There's an old kind of love goin' 'round

Young girls are waiting for their wedding day
And young men are patient because they're there to stay
The world is searching for the truth it seems
And people are saying it's a brand new thing

There's an old kind of love goin' 'round
A new generation has found
And it's a mighty welcomed sight to see
'Cause things are getting back to the way they used to be

When hearts could stand strong against the wind
And though the times are tougher now than they've ever been
It's the newest craze in town
There's an old kind of love goin' 'round
It's the newest craze in town
There's an old kind of love goin' 'round

"On The Old Kentucky Shore"
(originally by Bill Monroe)

"On The Old Kentucky Shore"
(originally by Bill Monroe)



I walked down to the grave yard
Down by the church of God
I looked upon the one I love
That will soon be covered with sod.

Up along the Ohio River
Over on the old Kentucky shore
Once dwelt a fair young maiden
Now there's a crepe upon her door.

The angels took my darlin'
God needed the one I love
I reached the old Kentucky shore today
I'll make my plans and meet her up above.

The last word that my darlin' said
Was tell the one I love goodbye
I would like to see him before I go
But I'll meet him in the sky...

"One Way Rider"

"One Way Rider"



Now you're off and runnin' run just like you're scared
Run just like a grey dog run just like a deer
Something in the bushes starin' out at you
Starin' at your feelings feelin' like you do.

One way rider, one way down the road
Baby I'm right beside you everywhere you go.

Once upon a victim circumstance is due
Tend to take a hold on everything you do
First we follow losers next we follow fools
Now we follow footsteps sneakin' upon you.

One way rider, one way down the road
Baby I'm right beside you everywhere you go.

Lovers save your secrets trust not into fools
Don't go look for trouble it will come to you
Like some long lost passage fly in broken lines
Here in the fleetin' moment really gone this time.

One way rider, one way down the road
Baby I'm right beside you everywhere you go.

Yeah, I'm a one way rider, one way down the road
Baby I'm right beside you everywhere you go...

"Only Daddy That'll Walk The Line"

"Only Daddy That'll Walk The Line"



Everybody knows you've been steppin on my toes
And I'm gettin' pretty tired of it
You keep'a steppin out of line and'a messin' with my mind
If you had any sense you'd quit.

Ever since you were a little bitty teeny girl
Said I was the only man in this whole world
Now you better do some thinkin' and then you'll find
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line.

I keep'a workin' everyday all you wanna do is play
I'm tired of stayin' out all night
I'm comin' unglued from your funny little moods
Now honey, baby that ain't right.

Ever since you were a little bitty teeny girl
Said I was the only man in this whole world
Now you better do some thinkin' and then you'll find
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line.

You keep'a packin' up my clothes nearly ev'rybody knows
That you're still just'a puttin' me on
When I start walkin' then I hear you start squakin'
Beggin' me to come back home.

Ever since you were a little bitty teen girl
Said I was the only man in this whole world
Now you better do some thinkin' and then you'll find
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line.

"Patiently Waiting"

"Patiently Waiting"



Tonight my heart's with you wherever you are
As I read your love letters again
How sweet are the mem'ries I hold in my hand
Pretty pictures of our love back then.

Patiently waiting how long has it been
Since you said you'd forever be true
Sweetheart I start counting the days turned to years
Still I'm patiently waiting for you.

And the arms now that hold you should ever grow cold
And you long for the love we once knew
Just remember sweet darling I'm spending my time
I'm still patiently waiting for you.

Patiently waiting how long has it been
Since you said you'd forever be true
Sweetheart I start counting the days turned to years
Still I'm patiently waiting for you.

I'm still patiently waiting for you...

"Picture"

"Picture"



At the foot of a soaring mountain
You're still the biggest thing in that picture
Are you really worth counting?
You're still the biggest thing in that picture

At the edge of an endless ocean
You're still the biggest thing in that picture
Of all creation, God's notion
You're still the biggest thing in that picture

Don't you feel so small
Don't you feel so small
God doesn't see you that way at all

Things you've done wrong, they are towering
You're still the biggest thing in that picture
What He is saying, could you really be
Still the biggest thing in that picture?

Don't you feel so small
Don't you feel so small
God doesn't see you that way at all

Nothing is bigger than
Nothing is greener than
As near to His heart
As dear to His heart
As you

Insignificant, don't buy it
You're still the biggest thing in that picture
Aim your slingshot at Goliath
You're still the biggest thing in that picture

Don't you feel so small
Don't you feel so small
God doesn't see you that way at all
God doesn't see you that way at all
God doesn't see you that way at all

You're still the biggest thing in that picture

"Pig In A Pen"

"Pig In A Pen"



I got a pig at home in a pen;
Corn to feed 'Em on
All I need's a pretty little girl
To feed 'Em when I'm gone.

Goin' on the mountain
To sow a little cane
Raise a barrel of Sorghum,
To sweeten ol' Liza Jane.

Yonder comes that gal of mine,
How do you think I know
I know by that gingham gown,
Hanging down so low.

Dark cloud's arisin'
Surely a sign of rain
Get your gray bonnet on
Little Liza Jane.

Bake them biscuits, lady
Bake 'em good n' brown
When you get them biscuits baked
We're Alabamy bound.

When she sees me comin'
She wrings her hands and cries
Yonder comes the sweetest boy
That ever lived or died.

Now, when she sees me leavin'
She wrings her hands and cries
Yonder goes the meanest boy
That ever lived or died...

"Poor Monroe"

"Poor Monroe"



Just because he's lazy
Sits around with the blues
They run Monroe off
Without his shoes.

He always was lazy
And he never liked to work
But now his feet they are bare
As he runs through the dirt.

If my family should
Ever do me that way
I'd put my shoes on
And go far away.

But if they didn't give me time
They say I had to go
Then my feet would be bare
I'd be just like Monroe.

Well, I guess they told him
They didn't need him there
And if he was out of the way
They would draw welfare.

That's whats messing up the country
And making it so tough
While monroe's living it down
His family's living it up...

"Put It Off Until Tomorrow"

"Put It Off Until Tomorrow"



Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today
You say our love is over that you have found another
You say you're goin' away but leave me tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today
You've hurt me enough today I can't believe the words you say
I must accept the fact you won't be coming back
So stay just one more day loneliness isn't far away
Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today
Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today

"Rank Stranger"

"Rank Stranger"



I wandered again to my home in the mountains
Where in youth's early dawn I was happy and free
I looked for my friends, but I never could find them
I found they were all rank strangers to me.

Everybody I met (everybody I met)
Seemed to be a rank stranger (seemed to be a rank stranger)
No mother nor dad (no mother or dad)
Not a friend could I see (not a friend could I see)
They knew not my name (they knew not my name)
And I knew not their faces (and I knew not their faces)
I found they were all (I found they were all)
Rank strangers to me. (rank strangers to me.)

"They've all moved away," said the voice of a stranger
"To a beautiful land by the bright crystal sea"
Some beautiful day I'll meet 'em in heaven
Where no one will be a stranger to me.

Everybody I met (everybody I met)
Seemed to be a rank stranger (seemed to be a rank stranger)
No mother nor dad (no mother or dad)
Not a friend could I see (not a friend could I see)
They knew not my name (they knew not my name)
And I knew not their faces (and I knew not their faces)
I found they were all (I found they were all)
Rank strangers to me. (rank strangers to me.)...
