"Crazy Arms"

"Crazy Arms"

Now blue ain't the world for the way that I feel
And the storm's brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
And you're someone else's love now you're not mine
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
And my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time

[steel]

So please take these treasured dreams I have for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
Someday these crazy arms will hold somebody new but now I'm so lonely all the time
Crazy arms that reach to...
And that's why I'm lonely all the time

"Cry"

"Cry"

If your sweetheart sends a letter of goodbye
It's no secret you feel better if you cry
When waking from a bad dream don't you sometimes think it's real
But it's only false emotions that you feel
If your heartaches seem to hang around too long
And your blues keep gettin' bluer with each song
Remember sunshine can be found behind the cloudy sky
So let your head down and go on and cry
If your heartaches...
[guitar]

"Danny Boy"

"Danny Boy"

Oh Danny boy
The pipes, the pipes are ca-alling
From glen to glen
And down the mountain side
And the summer's gone
All the leaves are dy-y-ying
It's you, it's you
Must go and I must bide

But come ye ba-ack
When summer's in the mea-eadow
Or when the valley's hushed
And white with snow
I'll be here
In sunshine or in sha-adows
Oh Danny boy
Oh Da-a-a-anny boy
I love you so

But come ye ba-ack
When summer's in the mea-eadow
Or when the winter's whi-ite
And hushed with snow
I'll be here
In sunshine or in sha-adows
Oh Danny boy
Oh Da-anny boy
I love you so...

"Dark As A Dungeon"

"Dark As A Dungeon"

Come all you young fellers, so young and so fine
And seek not your fortunes way down in the mine
It will form like a habit and seep in your soul
'Til the stream of your blood flows as black as the coal

It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines

There is many a man I have seen in my day
Who lived just to labor his whole life away
Like the fiend with his dope and the drunkard his wine
A man will have lust for the lure of the mine

It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines

I hope when I'm dead and the ages shall roll
That my body will blacken and turn into coal
I will look from the door of my heavenly home
And pity the miner a' diggin' my bones

It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine

"Darkness On The Face Of The Earth"

"Darkness On The Face Of The Earth"

The morning that you left me was just another day
How could I see the sorrow that had found me
Then you left and told me that I was in your way
And I turned and ran as heaven fell around me
I stumbled through the darkness my footsteps were unsure
I live within a world that had no sunshine
When you left me darling my world came to an end
And there was darkness on the face of the earth
The stars fell out of heaven and the moon could not be found
The sun was in a million pieces scattered all around
Why did you ever leave me you knew how it would hurt
And now there's darkness on the face of the earth
[guitar]
The stars fell out of heaven...
And now there's darkness on the face of the earth

"December Day"

"December Day"

This looks like a December day.
This looks like a "time to remember" day.
And I remember the spring, such a sweet tender thing.
And love's summer college,
Where the green leaves of knowledge,
Were waiting to fall with the Fall.

And where September wine,
Numbed the measure of time.
Through the tears of October, now November's over,
And this looks like a December day.

This looks like a December day.
It looks like we've come to the end of the way.
And as my memories race back to love's eager beginning,
Reluctant to play with the thoughts of the ending:
The ending that won't go away.

And as my memories race back to love's eager beginning,
Reluctant to play with the thoughts of the ending:
The ending that won't go away.

And this looks like a December day.

"Deep Water"

"Deep Water"

I'm drifting into deep water
I'm starting to care for you
And you're getting me in deep water
Be careful what you do.

You want a romance
and I'm sick in love
I know I'll regret it when it ends
I'm drifting into deep water
Why can't we still be friends.

It's so restless in this deep water
And I'm caught between right and wrong
My love's as true as deep water
Your love won't last that long.

Where will it lead me and when will it end
I can't help but wish I only knew
And I'm drifting into deep water
So deep in love with you.

I'm winding up in deep water
So deep in love with you.

"Denver"

"Denver"

The bright lights of Denver are shinin' like diamonds
Like ten thousand jewels in the sky
And it's nobody's business where you're goin'
Or where you come from
And you're judged by the look in your eye

She saw him, that evenin' in a tavern in town
In a quiet little out of the way place
And they smiled at each other as he walked through the door
And they danced with their smiles on their faces
And they danced with a smile on their face

"Detour"

"Detour"

Headed down life's crooked road lot of things I never knowed
And because of me not knowin' I now pine
Trouble got in the trail spent the next five years in jail
Should have read that detour sign
Detour there's a muddy road ahead detour paid no mind to what it said
Detour oh the bitter things I find should have read that detour sign
[harmonica - guitar]
I got stuck in the mud all my hopes dropped with a thud
And I thought that my heart strings were made of twine
But the father I go the more sorrow I know should have read that detour sign
Detour there's a muddy road ahead...
Should have read that detour sign should have read that detour sign

"Devil In A Sleepin' Bag"

"Devil In A Sleepin' Bag"

We were headed home in Austin
Caught pneumonia on the road
Taking it home to Connie and the kids
A wheel ran off and jumped a railroad
Then ran through a grocery store

If you want to buy a bus I'm taking bids
And the devil shivered in his sleeping bag
He said traveling on the road is such a drag
If we can make it home by Friday we can brag
And the devil shivered in his sleeping bag

[guitar]

Well I just got back from New York City
Kris and Rita done it all
Raw perfection there for all the world to see
Lord I heard an angel singing
In the Philharmonic Hall
Rita Coolidge Rita Coolidge cleft for me
And the devil shivered...
And the devil shivered in his sleeping bag
