"Where The Soul Never Dies"

"Where The Soul Never Dies"


To Canaan's land I'm on my way
Where the soul (of man) never dies
My darkest night will turn to day
Where the soul (of man) never dies

[lead]
No sad farewells
No tear dimmed eyes
Where all is love
And the soul never dies

[tenor]
Dear friends there'll be no sad farewells
There'll be no tear-dimmed eyes
Where all is peace and joy and love
And the soul of man never dies

The rose is blooming there for me
Where the soul (of man) never dies
And I will spend eternity
Where the soul (of man) never dies

The love light beams across the foam
Where the soul (of man) never dies
It shines and lights the way to home
Where the soul (of man) never dies

My life will end in deathless sleep
Where the soul (of man) never dies
And everlasting joys I'll reap
Where the soul (of man) never dies

I'm on my way to that fair land
Where the soul (of man) never dies
Where there will be no parting hand
Where the soul (of man) never dies

"Where's The Show / Let Me Be A Man"

"Where's The Show / Let Me Be A Man"



Explain again to me Lord when I'm here I don't know I don't know
The setting for the stage is still not clear where's the show where's the show
Let it begin let it begin I'm born can you use me

What would you have me to do Lord shall I sing them a song
I could tell them all about you Lord I could write of the loves I have known
I'll work in their cotton and cornfields I promise to do all I can
I'll laugh and I'll cry I'll live and I'll die please Lord let me be a man
Dear Lord let me be a man and I'll give it all that I can
If I'm needed in this distant land please Lord let me be a man

Before I begin this lavel of journing portraiting most tipical man
Last minute of destruction would surely be welcome
Please Lord let me hold to your hand
Dear Lord let me be a man...

"Whiskey River"

"Whiskey River"


Whiskey River take my mind,
Don't let her mem'ry torture me.
Whiskey River don't run dry,
You're all I've got, take care of me.

Whiskey River take my mind,
Don't let her mem'ry torture me.
Whiskey River don't run dry,
You're all I've got, take care of me.

I'm drowning in a whiskey river,
Bathing my mem'ried mind in the wetness of its soul.
Feeling the amber current flowin' from my mind.
And warm an empty heart you left so cold.

Whiskey River take my mind,
Don't let her mem'ry torture me.
Whiskey River don't run dry,
You're all I've got, take care of me.

[Instrumental]

I'm drowning in a whiskey river,

Don't let her mem'ry torture me.
Whiskey River don't run dry,
You're all I've got, take care of me.

"Whispering Hope"

"Whispering Hope"



Soft as the voice of an Angel, breathing a lesson unheard
Hope with a gentle persuasion, whispers her comforting word
"Wait till the darkness is over, wait till the tempest is done
Hope for the sunshine tomorrow, after the shower is gone"

Whispering hope, oh, how welcome thy voice
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice

If in the dusk of the twilight, dim be the region afar
Will not the deepening darkness brighten the glimmering star?
Then when the night is upon us, why should the heart sink away?
When the dark midnight is over, watch for the breaking of day

Whispering hope, oh, how welcome thy voice
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice

Hope, as an anchor so steadfast, rends the dark veil for the soul
Whither the Master has entered, robbing the grave of its goal
Come then, O come, glad fruition, come to my sad weary heart
Come, O Thou blest hope of glory, never, O never depart

Whispering hope, oh, how welcome thy voice
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice

"White Christmas"

"White Christmas"



I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.

"Who Do I Know In Dallas"

"Who Do I Know In Dallas"


Who do I know in Dallas who can I call on the phone
Who do I know in Dallas that will help me forget she's gone
Shirley consoled me in Phoenix and Jeannie in old San Antone
But who do I know in Dallas that will help me forget that I'm alone
[steel]
I can't spend the night without someone the lonelies will drive me insane
So who do I know in Dallas that will make me be happy I came
Who do I know in Dallas that will make me be happy I came

"Who'll Buy My Memories"

"Who'll Buy My Memories"



A past that's sprinkled with the blues a few old dreams that I can't use
Who'll buy my mem'ries of things that used to be
There were the smiles before the tears and with the smiles some better years
Who'll buy my mem'ries of things that used to be
When I remember how things were my memories all leave with her
I'd like to start my life anew but memories just make me blue
A cottage small just built for two a garden wall with violets blue
Who'll buy my mem'ries of things that used to be
When I remember how things were my memories all leave with her
I'd like to start my life anew but memories just make me blue
A cottage small just built for two a garden wall with violets blue
Who'll buy my mem'ries of things that used to be

"Who's Sorry Now?"

"Who's Sorry Now?"


Who's sorry now, who's sorry now
Whose heart is achin' for breakin' each vow
Who's sad and blue, who's cryin' too
Just like I cried over you.

Right to the end, just like a friend
I tried to warn you somehow
You had your way, now you must pay
I'm glad that you're sorry now.

Right to the end just like a friend
I tried to warn you somehow
You had your way, now you must pay
I'm glad that you're sorry now.

"Why Are You Picking On Me?"

"Why Are You Picking On Me?"


You could have your choice of guys at town why are you pickin' on me
Just snap your fingers and they'll come around why are you pickin' on me
I'm well aware of this game you've learned
To love and then leave and show no concern
And tomorrow you'll have other candles to burn
So why are you pickin' on me
[piano - guitar]
You could have your choice...
Why are you pickin' on me

"Why Baby Why"

"Why Baby Why"



Tell me why baby why baby why baby why
You make me cry baby cry baby cry baby cry
You know that I'll love you till the day that I die
So tell me why baby why baby why baby why

Well I got a crow I want to pick with you
Just like last time when the feathers flew
You're runnin' wild a kickin' uo your heels
And leavin' me home with a handful of bills
Tell me why baby why...

Well now I don't know but I've heard you say
That every little dog's a gonna have his day
You better pay attention don't you dare forget
Cause I'm just a little baby puppy yet
Tell me why baby why...

You know that I'll love you till the day that I die
So tell me why baby why baby why baby why
