"Wildwood Flower"

"Wildwood Flower"

Oh, I'll twine with my mingles and waving black hair
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair
And the myrtle so bright with the emerald hue
The pale and the leader and eyes look like blue.

Oh I'll dance, I will sing and my laugh shall be gay
I will charm every heart, in his crown I will sway
When I woke from my dreaming, my idol was clay
All portion of love had all flown away.

Oh. he taught me to love him and promised to love
And to cherish me over all others above
How my heart is now wond'ring no mis'ry can tell
He's left me no warning, no words of farewell.

Oh, he taught me to love him and called me his flower
That was blooming to cheer him through life's dreary hour
Oh, I long to see him and regret the dark hour
He's gone and neglected this pale wildwood flower...

"Will The Roses Bloom"

"Will The Roses Bloom"

Will the roses bloom where she lies sleeping
Will the flowers shed their pedals there
Will the dewdrops fall upon the roses
Where my darling sleeps beneath the sand.

Her lips were like a bunch of roses
Her eyes were like the starlit sky
Her hair was dark and it was curly
I'll miss her till the day I die.

I miss my darling she is sleeping
Underneath the beautiful sky
I miss her now since she has left me
I will miss her til the day I die...

"Window Up Above"
(originally by George Jones)

"Window Up Above"
(originally by George Jones)

I've been living a new way,
All the life that I love so.
But I can see the clouds are gathering,
And the storm will wreck our home.

For last night he held you tightly,
And you didn't even shove.
This is true for I was watching,
From the window up above.

You must have thought that I was sleeping,
And I wish that I had been.
But it's best to get to know you,
And the way your heart can sin.

I thought we belonged together,
And our hearts fit like a glove.
I was wrong for I've been watching,
From the window up above.

From my eyes, a teardrop started,
As I listened on and on.
I heard you whisper to him, softly,
And our marriage was all wrong.

Well, I hope he makes you happy,
And you'll never lose his love.
I lost mine while I was watching,
From the window above.

How I wish I could be dreamin',
And wake up to a love that's true.
I lost mine while I was watching,
From the window up above...

"Woman You Won't Break Mine"

"Woman You Won't Break Mine"

Your momma dressed you in petticoats, and satin shoes that shined.
She pictured you her China doll, but you were of another mind.
Now you saw yourself in the rodeo, with the best bulldog in town,
You went and broke your mother's heart,
But woman you won't break mine.

The first time I laid eyes on you, you were eatin' dirt;
You got right up and shook it off, and I was thinkin' you were hurt.
Now you're standin' there and telling me our love has to wait in line,
You went and broke your momma's heart,
But woman you won't break mine.

[Chorus:]
You're a hard-chargin' woman, and that's somethin' I've admired.
But if you can't show a tender side, love's gonna lose its fire.
So Honey sit down and think it through, and if you're so inclined,
You went and broke your momma's heart,
But woman you won't break mine.

Love alone was just a word, but that's the way I felt;
While you lived out your fantasies, thinkin' about yourself.
Now if you're ever gonna make a change, Sweetheart this is the time,
You went and broke your momma's heart,
But woman you won't break mine.

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

So Honey sit down and think it through, and if you're so inclined,
You went and broke your momma's heart,
But woman you won't break mine.

Woman, woman, woman you won't break mine.

"You Can't Do Wrong And Get By"

"You Can't Do Wrong And Get By"

I remember my grandfather's counsel
As he laid the leather to my hide
He said there's just one rule to life that always will apply
You can't do wrong and get by.

Now, lessons tend to fade as we grow older
And I found myself in jail at twenty-five
Had to sit there by my lawyer, the old judge looked me in the eye
Said, you can't do wrong and get by.

You can't do wrong and get by for very long
Do wrong and all your troubles multiply

You may not face them here but you'll face the man on high
You can't do wrong and get by.

Now once I had a wife and lovin' children
But I gave into the pleasures of the night
Used my grand dads very words to say her last goodbye
You can't do wrong and get by.

You can't do wrong and get by for very long
Do wrong and all your troubles multiply
Oh, you may not face them here but you'll sure face the man on high
You can't do wrong and get by.

No, no, you can't do wrong and get by
You can't do wrong and get by.

Oh no, you can't do wrong and get b

"You Can't Take It With You When You Go"

"You Can't Take It With You When You Go"

I got a friend who's a workaholic he never knows when to quit
Me, I knock off early every chance I get
He's got an I.R.A. for a rainy day ut I wonder if he knows
That you can't take it with you when you go.

While I'm out somewhere fishin' you bet he's workin' hard
My little boat's in the water, his big boat sits in the yard
And while I'm makin' time with that gal of mine
His love life's on hold, you can't take it with you when you go.

You can't take it with you when you go
You better take some time to live and love before you get to old
All the treasures in this world don't mean a thing when they lay ya low
'Cause you can't take it with you when ya go.

Now hard work it's a virtue and there's nothin' wrong with that
I ain't afraid to pull my weight but I ain't a-gonna break my back
I ain't worried about my bank account, just let the good times roll
'Cause you can't take it with you when you go.

You can't take it with you when you go
You better take some time to live and love before you get to old
All the treasures in this world don't mean a thing when they lay ya low
'Cause you can't take it with you when ya go.

All the treasures in this world don't mean a thing when they lay ya low
'Cause you can't take it with you when ya go...

"You Don't Count The Cost"

"You Don't Count The Cost"

It happens to a mother when she is giving birth
Her heart is filled with joy while her body is filled with hurt
She holds the baby to her breast despite the pain it caused
When it comes to love you don't count the cost

It happens to a soldier fighting for his home
Fear wells up inside him and yet he still goes on
Even though he knows he may be the next to fall
When it comes to love you don't count the cos&116

You don't count the heartache, you don't count the sacrifice
All that counts is what you feel inside
It doesn't really matter what is gained or what is lost
When it comes to love you don't count the cost

It happens all around us each and every day
Someone's givin' all they got for someone else's sake
If you've ever doubted just think about the cross
'Cause when it comes to love, oh, you don't count the cost

You don't count the heartache, you don't count the sacrifice
All that counts is what you feel inside
It doesn't really matter what is gained or what is lost
When it comes to love you don't count the cost
When it comes to love you don't count the cost

"You Make Me Feel Like A Man"

"You Make Me Feel Like A Man"

Well, It's so good to see your face again.
It's so good to hold your hand.
And it's so good to kiss your lips again.
You make me feel like a man.

Well, it's so good to see you smile again.
It's so good to taste your tears.
And it's so good to call you mine again.
We've grown closer through the years.

Our love is deeper than an ocean.
Our love is higher than the sky.
Our love, it fills me with emotion.
I see forever in your eyes.

Our love is sweeter than the flowers.
Our love is stronger than any wind.
And as I love you through the hours.
My heart will always sing this song again and again.

It's so good to see your face again.
It's so good to hold your hand.
And it's so good to kiss your lips again.
You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a man.

You make me feel like a man.

"You May See Me Walkin'"

"You May See Me Walkin'"

You may see me walkin',
You may hear me talkin',
But the words I speak won't ever be about you.
You once left me cryin',
And now you're still tryin',
To make amends by saying you'll be true.

Like a fool I played along,
With your cheatin' game.
Now my heart is payin' for,
The things you did with shame.

You may see me walkin',
You may hear me talkin',
But the words I speak
Won't ever be about you.

Like a fool I played along,
With your cheatin' game.
Now my heart is payin' for,
The things you did with shame.

You may see me walkin',
You may hear me talkin',
But the words I speak
Won't ever be about you.

No, the words I speak
Won't ever be about you...

"You'll Find God"

"You'll Find God"

Rising tides, tempest lies
From the day you're born
You could roll and never know
The calm inside the stone
That's ragin' on

And when the waves get to rockin'
And you're the lightning run
Don't forget to search in the back
Of your boat, fast asleep
You'll find God

Darkness falls, a furious wall
Your fear grows 20 feet high
He talks to wind, He walks upon it
An answer to our cry
Saying, "It is I"

And when the waves get to rockin'
And you're the lightning run
Don't forget to search in the back
Of your boat, fast asleep
You'll find God
You'll find God

Who is He, the wind and the sea
Listen and obey
If these things know He is King
Then why are you afraid?
Don't be afraid

And when the waves get to rockin'
And you're the lightning run
Don't forget to search in the back
Of your boat, fast asleep
You'll find God
You'll find God

You'll find God
You'll find God
You'll find God
