"I Ain't Never"

"I Ain't Never"



Well, I ain't never, I ain't never seen nobody like you
No, no, no, never have I ever seen nobody like you
You call me up and say to meet me at nine
I have to hurry, hurry but I'm there on time.

I walk a right up and knock on your door
The landlord says she ain't a here no more
I ain't never oh darling seen nobody like you
Hoo, hoo, but I love you, yeah, I love you I love you just the same.

Well you tell me sweet things that you don't mean
You've got me a livin' in a hunted dream
You make me do things I don't wanna do
My friends say Skaggs what's wrong with you.

I ain't never, oh darling, seen nobody like you
Hoo, hoo, but I love you, yeah, I love you, I love you just the same
I love you just the same, I love you just the same...

"I Am A Pilgrim"
(originally by Bill Monroe)

"I Am A Pilgrim"
(originally by Bill Monroe)



I am a pilgrim and a stranger
Traveling through this wearisome land
And I've got a home in that yonder city, good Lord
And it's not (good Lordy it's not) not made by hand.

I got a mother, a sister and a brother
Who have gone to that sweet home
And I am determined to go and see them, good Lord
Over on (good Lordy over on) that distant shore.

As I go down to that river Jordan
Just to bathe my weary soul
If I could touch but just the hem of His garment, good Lord
I believe (good Lordy I believe) that it would make me whole.

Now when I'm dead, laying in my coffin
All of my friends all gather round
They can say that he's just laying there sleeping, good Lord
Sweet peace (Lordy sweet peace) his soul is found...

"I Believed In You Darlin'"

"I Believed In You Darlin'"



Oh, you said that you loved me, that your heart would be true
But now you've gone and left me, I'm so blue
I believed in you darling, that your heart would be true
But now you've gone and left me, I'm so blue.

Our vows have been broken, you have proven untrue
Another has my sweetheart and the love that I once knew
I believed in you darling, that your heart would be true
But now you've gone and left me, I'm so blue.

Oh, the nights are so lonely, dreams of you haunt me so
What's happened little darling, I don't know
Oh, I believed in you darling, that your heart would be true
But now you've gone and left me, I'm so blue.

Our vows have been broken, you have proven untrue
Another has my sweetheart and the love that I once knew
I believed in you darling, that your heart would be true
But now you've gone and left me, I'm so blue...

"I Don't Care"

"I Don't Care"



Now, I don't care
if I'm not the first
love you've known,
Just so I'll be the last.

No, I don't care
if I'm not the first
one you've kissed,
Darling, I'll never ask.

Yesterday's gone,
Love me from now on.
Be true to me,
Forget about the past.

No, I don't care
If I'm not the first
Love you've known,
Just so I'll be the last.

Yesterday's gone,
Love me from now on.
Be true to me,
Forget about the past.

No, I don't care
If I'm not the first
Love you've known,
Just so I'll be the last.
Darling, I'll never ask...

"I Don't Remember Forgetting"

"I Don't Remember Forgetting"



I don't remember forgetting
I don't seem to recall
If I neglected to show you I love you
I don't remember at all.

Ten years of thinking we're happy
Now you say that our love is gone
I'm racking my brain but I can't see
I'm wondering where I went wrong.

I don't remember forgetting
I don't seem to recall
If I neglected to show you I love you
I don't remember at all.

Now you say that I've been distracted
Not seing the little things you need
Now I've never been more attracted
How can I make you believe.

I don't remember forgetting
I don't seem to recall
If I neglected to show you I love you
I don't remember at all.

If I neglected to show you I love you
I don't remember at all...

"I Hear A Voice Calling"

"I Hear A Voice Calling"



I hear a voice calling
It must be our Lord,
It must be,
It must be our Lord.

It's coming from heaven on high
I hear a voice calling,
I've gained the reward
I've gained, I've gained the reward.

For the land where we never shall die
The savior has paid
A great price for me
He gave his life on Calvary.

So I follow his footsteps
Up the narrow way
And be ready to meet him
When he comes on that day.

He died on the cross
The old rugged cross
That we would be saved
From sin and not lost.

So I follow his footsteps
Up the narrow way
That'll pay our debts
On that great judgment day.

He died on the cross
The old rugged cross
That we would be saved
From sin and not lost.

"I Hope You've Learned"

"I Hope You've Learned"



I've been away for just a year
Have you forgotten me, my dear?
The judge said I must pay the cost
I never knew how much I'd lost.

Until they sent me far away
Where each minute seems a day
But maybe someday I'll be free
Will you be waiting there for me?

I'm in this cell because of you
The crime I did you drove me to
My jealous heart just could not stand
To see you with another man.

Until they sent me far away
Where each minute seems a day
But maybe someday I'll be free
Will you be waiting there for me?

I hope someday that you will learn
And brokenhearted you'll return
But listen, darlin', please don't wait
For maybe then will be too late.

Until they sent me far away
Where each minute seems a day
But maybe someday I'll be free
Will you be waiting there for me?...

"I Know What It Means To Be Lonesome"

"I Know What It Means To Be Lonesome"



I know what it means to be lonesome
And I know what it means to be blue
I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams
When there is no one at home for you.

Well my baby left me this morning
As the clock was striking four
The sweet smiling face of my darling
I may never see any more.

Well I've cried and I've cried since we parted
No one knows what I have been through
You know I'd give all I own just to have you back home
I'm lonesome, lonesome for you...

 

[fox69]

"I Love No One But You"

"I Love No One But You"



Now tonight as I write this note to you
There's sorrow in my heart
I hate to say goodbye my dear
But it's better that we part.

Don't think that I've grown tired of you
Or found somebody new
For you were all I've ever had
And I love no one but you.

Now when you read this note my dear
I hope you'll understand
And think of the one that loves you best
This broken hearted man.

Now that I have loved and lost
I hope you're satisfied
It'll be so hard to go through this world
With a broken heart inside...

"I Wonder If I Care As Much"
(originally by The Everly Brothers)

"I Wonder If I Care As Much"
(originally by The Everly Brothers)



I wonder if I care as much as I did before
Last night I cried myself to sleep for the one that makes me weep
I dried my eyes to greet the day and wondered why I had to pay
The tears that I have shed by day give relief and wash away
The mem'ry of the night before I wonder if I'll suffer more
I wonder if I care as much as I did before
My pride is made to say forgive and take the blame for what you did
It's your mistake I'm thinking of I wonder if I'm still in love
My heart can't thrive on misery my life it has no destiny
When things get more than I can bear I ask myself do I still care
I wonder if I care as much as I did before
