SALLY ANN
WITH LOVE IN HIS HEART AND FLOWERS IN HAND
JOHNNY PROPOSED TO SALLY ANN
SALLY SHIVERED AS SHE SAID
"I'LL LOVE YOU TILL THE DAY I'M DEAD"
CHORUS (after each verse):
WHO'S GONNA DANCE WITH SALLY ANN
WHO'S GONNA TOUCH HER TREMBLIN' HAND
WHEN THE FIDDLER TAKES THE STAND
WHO'S GONNA DANCE WITH SALLY ANN
JOHNNY GOT MARRIED IN HIS ONE GOOD SUIT
BUT THE RIDE FROM CHURCH BORE STRANGE FRUIT
DOWN BY THE ROAD YOU CAN HEAR HER CRY
AS HE HUNG FROM A TREE SHE WATCHED HIM DIE
SALLY ATTENDS EVERY WEDDING 'ROUND HERE
LOOKING FOR HER JOHNNY DEAR
YOU CAN FEEL THEM IN THE ROOM
WHEN THE FIDDLER PLAYS THAT TUNE
DARKENED SHADOWS CROSS THE FLOOR
AS GHOSTLY LOVERS DANCE ONCE MORE
WHEN WEDDING BELLS RING IN THAT TOWN
A GHOSTLY VIRGIN STROLLS THE GROUND

HONEY LET ME BE YOUR SALTY DOG
CHORUS (after each verse):
LET ME BE YOUR SALTY DOG
OR I WON'T BY YOUR MAN AT ALL
HONEY LET ME BE YOUR SALTY DOG
LISTEN HERE SAL I KNOW YOU
RUN DOWN STOCKING AND A WORN OUT SHOE
HONEY LET ME BE YOUR SALTY DOG
DOWN IN THE WILDWOOD SITTING ON A LOG
FINGER ON THE TRIGGER AND MY EYE ON A HOG
HONEY LET ME BE YOUR SALTY DOG
I PULLED THE TRIGGER AND THE GUN SAID "GO"
THE SHOT FELL OVER IN MEXICO
HONEY LET ME BE YOUR SALTY DOG

IN OUR CHILDHOOD LONG AGO
THERE I LEFT MY LITTLE DARLIN'

I CAN'T SLEEP, I'M FALLING APART
CHORUS:
I WAS A FOOL TO SAY I DIDN'T LOVE YOU
JUST BECAUSE YOU HURT MY PRIDE
IT WASN'T TRUE I SWEAR BY STARS ABOVE YOU
YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T LOVE ME, SAY YOU LIED
BRIDGE:
AND A HEART WAS BROKEN AND THE WORDS WERE SPOKEN
AND LOCKED MY HEART OUTSIDE
YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T LOVE ME, SAY YOU LIED
IF YOU WILL ONLY COME BACK TO ME
I'LL BUILD YOU A CASTLE IN MY DREAMS
I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT WE CAN WORK IT OUT

I KNOW YOUR LOVE FOR ME IS COLD
BUT NOW I NEED YOU OH SO MUCH

SEEING NELLIE HOME
ALL THE STARS WERE SHINING BRIGHTLY
ON THE BANKS OF HEAVEN'S SHORE
IT WAS FROM AUNT DINAH'S QUILTING PARTY
I WAS SEEING NELLIE HOME
CHORUS (after each verse):
I WAS SEEING NELLIE HOME
I WAS SEEING NELLIE HOME
IT WAS FROM AUNT DINAH'S QUILTING PARTY
I WAS SEEING NELLIE HOME
HER LIPS WERE RED AND CRIMSON
HER FACE AS WHITE AS SNOW
IT WAS FROM AUNT DINAH'S QUILTING PARTY
I WAS SEEING NELLIE HOME
ON MY ARM A SOFT HAND RESTED
RESTED LIGHT AS OCEAN FOAM
IT WAS FROM AUNT DINAH'S QUILTING PARTY
I WAS SEEING NELLIE HOME
IN MY HEART YOUR THOUGHTS ARE DAWNING
PRECIOUS THOUGHTS TO LIVE AND GROW
IT WAS FROM AUNT DINAH'S QUILTING PARTY
I WAS SEEING NELLIE HOME

CHORUS:
SHADY GROVE, MY LITTLE MISS, SHADY GROVE, MY DARLIN'
SHADY GROVE, MY LITTLE MISS, I'M GOING BACK TO HARLAN
OR:
SHADY GROVE, MY TRUE LOVE, SHADY GROVE, I KNOW
SHADY GROVE, MY TRUE LOVE, I'M BOUND FOR THE SHADY GROVE
PEACHES IN THE SUMMERTIME, APPLES IN THE FALL
IF I CAN'T GET THE GIRL I LOVE, I WON'T HAVE NONE AT ALL
ONCE I WAS A LITTLE BOY PLAYING IN THE SAND
NOW I AM A GREAT BIG BOY, I THINK MYSELF A MAN
WHEN I WAS A LITTLE BOY, I WANTED A WHITTLIN' KNIFE
NOW I AM A GREAT BIG BOY AND I WANT A LITTLE WIFE
WISH I HAD A BANJO STRING MADE OF GOLDEN TWINE
AND EVERY TUNE I'D PICK ON IT IS "I WISH THAT GIRL WERE MINE"
SOME COME HERE TO FIDDLE AND DANCE, SOME COME HERE TO TARRY
SOME COME HERE TO FIDDLE AND DANCE, I COME HERE TO MARRY
EVERY NIGHT WHEN I GO HOME, MY WIFE, I TRY TO PLEASE HER
THE MORE I TRY THE WORSE SHE GETS, DAMNED IF I DON'T LEAVE HER
FLY AROUND MY BLUE-EYED GIRL, FLY AROUND MY DAISY
FLY AROUND MY GLUE-EYED GIRL, NEARLY DRIVE ME CRAZY
THE VERY NEXT TIME I GO THAT ROAD AND IT DON'T LOOK SO DARK AND GRAZY
THE VERY NEXT TIME I COME THAT ROAD I'LL STOP AND SEE MY DAISY
I ONCE HAD A MULIE COW, MULIE WHEN SHE'S BORN
TOOK A JAY BIRD FORTY YEARS TO FLY FROM HORN TO HORN
COFFEE GROWS ON THE WHITE OAK TREE, THE RIVER FLOWS WITH BRANDY
THE ROCKS ON THE HILLS ARE COVERED WITH GOLD
AND THE GIRLS ARE SWEETER THAN CANDY
EVERY TIME I TAKE THAT ROAD IT'S ALWAYS DARK AND CLOUDY
EVERY TIME I SEE THAT GIRL I ALWAYS TELL HER HOWDY
DID YOU THINK MY LITTLE MISS THAT I COULD LIVE WITHOUT YOU
I'LL LET YOU KNOW BEFORE I GO, I HEAR SO LITTLE ABOUT YOU

SHARECROPPER'S SON
WE MOVED HERE FROM SUNHEARST WHEN I WAS FOURTEEN
WORKED THIS POOR GROUND FOR BACON AND BEANS
LANDLORD TOLD ME THAT THE HARD TIMES ARE NEAR
IT DIDN'T MEAN A THING 'CAUSE THEY'RE ALREADY HERE
CHORUS (after each verse):
DAYLIGHT TILL DARK MY WORK'S NEVER DONE
LORD HAVE MERCY ON THIS SHARECROPPER'S SON
MAMA'S GOT THE FEVER AND THE BABY'S SICK TOO
PAPA'S DOWNTOWN JUST SOAKIN' UP THAT BOOZE
JUST OUT OF PRISON, SAYS HE'S NEVER GOIN' BACK
AIN'T A BLOODHOUND IN GEORGIA THAT CAN FOLLOW HIS TRACK
WE BOUGHT A NEW MULE, BROUGHT HIM UP FROM DOWN SOUTH
HE'LL KICK THE CHEW TOBACCO RIGHT OUT OF YOUR MOUTH
WATER IN THE WELL NEARLY OUT OF SIGHT
CAN'T TAKE A BATH ON A SATURDAY NIGHT
OUR CROPS ARE ALL WILTED, NO RAIN DAY OR NIGHT
PREACHER'S HERE FOR DINNER, WE AIN'T GOT A BITE
ELEVEN IN THE FAMILY, TEN DAUGHTERS AND A SON

SHE PAINTS A PICTURE Eric Gibson
SHE PAINTS A PICTURE WHEN SHE WALKS IN A ROOM
EVERYTHING ELSE FADES TO BACKGROUND
DRAWN TO THE CENTER BY HER SHINING LIGHT
A PERFECT CREATION ON SATURDAY NIGHT (turnaround)
SHE PAINTS A PICTURE WHEN SHE WHISPERS MY NAME
MY MIND ENVISIONS A QUEEN AND HER KING
I KNOW ONE HALF OF THE PICTURE'S NOT REAL
BUT MY LADY FEELS THE SAME LUCK I FEEL
CHORUS:
AND HER FAVORITE PASTIME IS MAKING MY LIFETIME
A DREAM TO BEHOLD
AND I'LL KEEP MY PROMISE, I'LL STAND BY MY ARTIST
AS EACH OF HER WORKS SHE UNFOLDS (repeat verse 1)
SHE PAINTS A PICTURE WHEN SHE STANDS IN A MIRROR
MY EYES ARE ON HER BUT SHE'S NOT AWARE
I SEE HER FROWN AT A FEW FLECKS OF GRAY
I COME UP BEHIND HER AND PULL HER AWAY (chorus & verse 1)

YOU SEE HER THERE AT THE BAR ACROSS THE ROOM
SHE LOOKS LIKE AN ANGEL WITH HER PAINT AND PERFUME
YOU'D LIKE TO ME HER, YOUR CONSCIENCE SAYS NO
OBEY YOUR CONSCIENCE, TURN AROUND BOY AND GO
CHORUS (after each verse):
SHE'S NO ANGEL, NO ANGEL, HER WINGS ARE NOT REAL
SHE'LL RUIN YOUR LIFE IF YOUR HEART SHE CAN STEAL
SHE'LL TELL YOU TALES TO BRING TEARS TO YOUR EYES
BUT DON'T YOU BELIEVE THEM FOR THEY'RE ONLY LIES
YOU WISH IF ONLY SHE COULD BE YOUR OWN
YOU'D BE MORE CONTENTED THAN A KING ON HIS THRONE
YOU'D BETTER NOT TRUST HER, IT'S WRONG IF YOU DO
SHE'S BROKEN MANY HEARTS AND SHE'LL BREAK YOURS TOO

AND NOW SHE'S GONE AND I DON'T WORRY
'CAUSE I'M SITTIN' ON TOP OF THE WORLD
SHE CALLED ME UP FROM DOWN IN EL PASO
SAID, "COME BACK DADDY, LORD I NEED YOU SO"
ASHES TO ASHES, DUST TO DUST
SHOW ME A WOMAN THAT A MAN CAN TRUST
MISSISSIPPI RIVER, LONG, DEEP AND WIDE
THE WOMAN I'M LOVIN' IS ON THE OTHER SIDE
YOU DON'T LIKE MY PEACHES, DON'T YOU SHAKE MY TREE
GET OUT OF MY ORCHARD, LET MY PEACHES BE

THE WIND IS COLD, I WALK ALONE
MY HEAD IS HANGING LOW
THE FRIEND I FOUND WITHIN MYSELF
IS THE ONLY ONE I KNOW
THE BLOSSOMS OF THE DOGWOOD TREE
HAVE FALLEN ALL AWAY
AND LIKE OUR LOVE THEY LAY TO REST
BENEATH THE RED, RED CLAY
CHORUS:
SOME MORNING SOON BEFORE THE DAWN
I'LL WAKE TO FIND YOU GONE
I'M LEARNING HOW TO LOSE YOU NOW
AND HOW TO CARRY ON
YOUR LOVE, YOUR LOVE HAS KNOWN NO FEAR
YOUR HEART CAN FEEL NO PAIN

MY LUCK WAS GOOD THE DAY THAT I FOUND YOU
YOU WERE MY ONE AND ONLY GIRL AND NOW THAT YOU ARE GONE
I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT I'M SUPPOSE TO DO
WELL I'VE BEEN WRITING LETTERS THAT I NEVER MEAN TO SEND
SINCE YOU TOLD ME DARLIN' WE WERE THROUGH
I SET MYSELF BESIDE THE PHONE JUST A-PRAYIN' YOU WILL CALL
THAT YOU'LL RETURN TO ME AND SAY "I DO"

SONG FOR LIFE Rodney Crowell
I DON'T DRINK AS MUCH AS I USED TO
LATELY IT JUST AIN'T MY STYLE
AND HARD TIMES DON'T LAST LIKE THEY USED TO
THEY PASS QUICKER LIKE WHEN I WAS A CHILD
CHORUS: (Lyrics in parentheses are used in second chorus)
AND SOMEHOW I'VE LEARNED HOW TO LISTEN
TO A SOUND LIKE THE SUN GOIN' DOWN
AND THE MAGIC THAT MORNING IS BRINGING HOME
IS A SONG FOR THIS LIFE (THE GIRL) I HAVE FOUND
IT (SHE) KEEPS MY FEET ON THE GROUND
THE MIDSUMMER DAYS SIT SO HEAVY
BUT DON'T THEY FLOW LIKE A BREEZE IN YOUR MIND
WHEN NOTHING APPEARS IN A HURRY
TO MAKE UP FOR SOMEONE'S LOST TIME

LOVE 'EM AND LEAVE 'EM, KISS 'EM AND GRIEVE 'EM
THAT USED TO BE MY MOTTO SO HIGH
TILL MY SOPHRONIE LEFT ME SO LONELY
AND NOW THERE'S A TEARDROP IN MY EYE
MY SOPHRONIE FROM KENTUCKY, SHE'S FOUND ANOTHER MAN
I CAN'T EVEN KISS HER, I CAN'T EVEN HOLD HER HAND
THAT MOON WE USED TO LOVE BENEATH IS STILL UP IN THE SKY
BUT NOW I'M JUST A HOT SHOT WITH A TEARDROP IN MY EYE
TILL GABRIEL BLOWS HIS BUGLE I'LL BE LOVIN' THAT SWEET GIRL
SHE MEANS MORE TO ME THAT THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD
I USED TO BE A KILLER WITH THE WOMEN, ME OH MY
BUT NOW I'M JUST A HOTSHOT WITH A TEARDROP IN MY EYE
I USED TO SLAY THE PRETTY GIRLS FROM MAINE TO ALABAM
I LOVED THEM VERY MUCH AT FIRST BUT THEN I LET THEM DOWN
I'M USED TO SEEING PRETTY EYES FILLED WITH BITTER TEARS
LIE TO THEM AND FORGET THEM BUT NOW I HAVE ME FEARS

TIME CAN PASS AND TIME CAN HEAL
BUT IT DON'T EVER PASS THE WAY I FEEL
YOU WENT AWAY A LONG TIME AGO
AND WHY YOU LEFT I NEVER KNEW
THE LONELY DAYS AND LONELY NIGHTS
GUESS THE WORLD KNOWS I AIN'T FEELIN' RIGHT
AND WHEN YOU'RE GONE THE HOURS PASS SO SLOW
AND NOW I'M STILL FEELIN' BLUE
CHORUS:
AND BABY SINCE YOU WALKED OUT OF MY LIFE
I'VE NEVER FELT SO LOW
CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER WHY YOU HAD TO GO
SO MANY GIRLS THAT I CAN'T SAY
THEY COME AND GO BUT STILL I FEEL THIS WAY
AND EVER SINCE THE DAY YOU SAID GOOD-BYE
NO ONE TREATS ME LIKE YOU USED TO DO
I HOPE YOU'RE OUT AND HAPPY NOW
DOIN' UP THE TOWN 'CAUSE YOU KNOW HOW
EVERY TIME I HEAR YOUR NAME I WANT TO DIE
AND NOW I'M STILL FEELIN' BLUE (chorus)

WHILE I'M GROWING OLD AND GRAY
JUST A LITTLE THOUGHT BEFORE
I'M GOING FAR AWAY
I'LL BE WAITING ON THE HILLSIDE
WHERE THE WILD RED ROSES GROW
ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN
WHERE THE RIPPLING WATERS FALL (FLOW?)
NOW DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE DAYS
WE COURTED MANY YEARS AGO
DON'T FORGET ALL THE PROMISES
YOU GAVE ME AND SO
I'LL BE WAITING ON THE HILLSIDE
WHEN THE DAY YOU WILL CALL
ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN
WHERE THE RIPPLING WATERS FALL
PLEASE TELL ME DARLING IN YOUR LETTER
DO YOU EVER THINK OF ME
PLEASE ANSWER LITTLE DARLING
TELL ME WHERE YOU CAN BE
IT'S BEEN SO LONG DEAR SINCE I SEEN YOU
BUT YOUR LOVE STILL LINGERS ON
DON'T FORGET ME LITTLE DARLIN'
