WABASH CANNONBALL
I STOOD ON THE ATLANTIC OCEAN, ON THE WIDE PACIFIC SHORE
HEARD THE QUEEN OF FLOWING MOUNTAINS TO THE SOUTH BELLE BY THE DOOR
SHE'S LONG TALL AND HANDSOME, SHE'S LOVED BY ONE AND ALL
SHE'S A MODERN COMBINATION CALLED THE WABASH CANNONBALL
CHORUS (after each verse):
LISTEN TO THE JINGLE, THE RUMBLE AND THE ROAR
AS SHE GLIDES ALONG THE WOODLANDS THROUGH THE HILLS AND BY THE SHORE
HEAR THE MIGHTY RUSH OF THE ENGINE, HEAR THE LONESOME HOBOES CALL
TRAVELIN' THROUGH THE JUNGLE ON THE WABASH CANNONBALL
NOW THE EASTERN STATES ARE DANDY SO THE WESTERN PEOPLE SAY
FROM NEW YORK TO ST. LOUIE AND CHICAGO BY THE WAY
FROM THE HILLS OF MINNESOTA WHERE THE RIPPLING WATERS FALL
NO CHANCES CAN BE TAKEN ON THE WABASH CANNONBALL
SHE CAME DOWN FROM BIRMINGHAM ONE COLD DECEMBER DAY
AS SHE PULLED INTO THE STATION YOU COULD HEAR ALL THE PEOPLE SAY
HERE'S A GAL FROM TENNESSEE, SHE'S LONG AND SHE'S TALL
SHE CAME DOWN TO BIRMINGHAM ON THE WABASH CANNONBALL
HERE'S TO DADDY CLAXTON, MAY HIS NAME FOREVER STAND
AND ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED THROUGH THE PARTS OF ALL THIS LAND
HIS EARTHLY DAYS ARE OVER AND THE CURTAINS 'ROUND HIM FALL
THEY'LL CARRY HIM HOME TO VICTORY ON THE WABASH CANNONBALL

WAITING FOR YOU Richard Bennett
I'VE SPENT MOST OF MY LIFE LOOKIN' FOR THE LOVE WE ONCE HAD
HOW COULD A LOVE THAT WAS SO RIGHT SUDDENLY FIND ANOTHER MAN
WHEN YOU'RE LONELY AND WONDERING ABOUT THE WAY THINGS USED TO BE
DON'T PASS ME BY AND DON'T FORGET OUR LOVE THAT ONCE WAS A DREAM
CHORUS (after each verse):
LOVE SO SWEET AND TENDER, THERE'LL NEVER BE ANOTHER
NO ONE COULD EVERY LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO
I'VE SPENT THE REST OF MY LIFE THROUGH THE YEARS WAITING FOR YOU
NIGHT AFTER NIGHT I DREAM YOUR LOVE WILL RETURN
HOW LONG CAN A MAN GO ON, BY NOW I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE LEARNED
WHEN YOU'RE LONELY AND WONDERING ABOUT THE WAY THINGS USED TO BE
DON'T PASS ME BY AND DON'T FORGET OUR LOVE THAT ONCE WAS A DREAM

A WALK IN THE IRISH RAIN
WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN O'ER DUBLIN TOWN
THE COLORS LAST FOR HOURS, OH
THE LIGHTS COME ON, THE NIGHT'S A SONG
AND THE STREETS ALL TURN TO GOLD
A GENTLE MIST, ALL HEAVEN-KISSED
LIKE TEARDROPS OFF AN ANGEL'S WING
DON'T YOU KNOW YOU PLANNED YOUR SOUL
WITH A WALK IN THE IRISH RAIN (chorus and intro)
CHORUS:
OH KATHERINE TAKE MY HAND
I'VE GOT THREE POUNDS AND CHANGE
AND I'LL SING YOU SONGS OF LOVE AGAIN
AND WHEN I GET TOO DRUNK TO SING
WE'LL WALK IN THE IRISH RAIN
FOREVER MORE I'VE STEPPED ASHORE
MY SAILING DAYS ARE OVER, OH,
THROUGH TIME AND TIDE BY YOUR SIDE
TOGETHER WE'LL GROW OLD
I PUT MY SEA BAG IN THE BIN
AND BROUGHT THESE PRETTY FLOWERS HOME
KISS ME KATE, WE'LL CELEBRATE
BEFORE THE BLOOM IS GONE (chorus and intro)
A TINKER AND A TAILOR AND A DRUNKEN OLD SAILOR
THEY ALL GET TOGETHER AND THEY START TO PLAY
TIME STANDS STILL WHILE THEY SING THEIR FILL
OH SHOUT TILL THE BREAK OF DAY
A SWEET LITTLE LADY WITH A GLASS OF STOUT
SIPPIN' IT DOWN TILL THE FOAM RUNS OUT
SHE'LL HELP HER OLD MAN HOME AGAIN

JUST WALK OUT IN THE RAIN, WALK OUT OF MY DREAMS
WALK OUT MY LIFE IF IT DON'T FEEL RIGHT

JUST TO PUT A RING ON YOUR FINGER
IF YOU SAID ALL THAT YOU GOT TO SAY
THEN PLEASE DON'T FEEL THE NEED TO LINGER

IF YOU DON'T WANT MY LOVE IT'S A PITY

AND AN OLD PAIR OF SHOES THAT ONCE HE DID WEAR
EMPTY'S THE CRADLE THAT ONCE HE LOVED SO WELL

AS I SET SAIL ON A SILVER TIDE

WHERE WAVES COME CRASHING UPON THE LAND
I'LL TAKE THIS RING THAT WAS FOR MY BRIDE

I CAME UPON THAT WILD BILL JONES
HE WAS A-WALKIN' AND A-TALKIN' BY MY TRUE LOVE'S SIDE
I BID HIM TO LEAVE HER ALONE
HE SAID MY AGE IS TWENTY-ONE YEARS
I'M TOO OLD TO BE CONTROLLED
SO I DREW MY REVOLVER FROM MY SIDE
DESTROYED THAT POOR BOY'S SOUL
SO LET'S PASS AROUND THAT LONG-NECKED BOTTLE
AND GO OUT A-WALKIN' ON THE STREET
FOR TODAY WAS THE LAST FOR THAT WILD BILL JONES
TOMORROW WILL BE THE LAST OF ME
THEY SENT ME TO PRISON FOR TWENTY LONG YEARS
THIS POOR BOY LONGED TO BE FREE
FOR WILD BILL JONES AND THAT LONG-NECKED BOTTLE
HAVE BARELY RID OF ME

WILDWOOD FLOWER
I'LL TWINE 'MID THE RINGLETS OF MY RAVEN BLACK HAIR
THE LILIES SO PALE AND THE ROSES SO FAIR
THE MYRTLE SO BRIGHT WITH AN EMERALD HUE
AND THE PALE ARROWNETTA WITH EYES OF BRIGHT BLUE
HE TOLD ME HE LOVED ME AND CALLED ME HIS FLOWER
THAT BLOSSOMED FOR HIM ALL THE BRIGHTER EACH HOUR
THOUGH MY HEART IS NOW BREAKING HE NEVER SHALL KNOW
THAT HIS NAME MAKES ME TREMBLE MY PALE CHEEKS TO GLOW
I'LL SING AND I'LL DANCE AND MY LIFE SHALL BE GAY
I'LL CHARM EVERY HEART AND THE CROWD I WILL SWAY
I'LL LIVE YET TO SEE HIM REGRET THE DARK HOUR
WHEN HE WON AND NEGLECTED THIS FRAIL WILDWOOD FLOWER
I'LL THINK OF HIM NEVER, I'LL BE WILD AND GAY
I'LL CEASE THIS WILD WEEPING, DRIVE SORROW AWAY
BUT I WAKE FROM MY DREAMING, MY IDOL WAS CLAY
MY VISIONS OF LOVE HAVE ALL VANISHED WAY
1 1 5 1 1
1 1 5 1 1
1 1 4 1
1 1 5 1 1
WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN
I WAS STANDING BY MY WINDOW
ON A COLD AND CLOUDY DAY
WHEN I SAW THAT HEARSE COME ROLLING
FOR TO CARRY MY MOTHER AWAY
CHORUS (after each verse):
WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN
BY AND BY LORD, BY AND BY
THERE'S A BETTER HOME A-WAITIN'
IN THE SKY LORD, IN THE SKY
LORD, I TOLD THAT UNDERTAKER
UNDERTAKER PLEASE DRIVE SLOW
FOR THIS BODY THAT YOU'RE HAULING
LORD, I HATE TO SEE HER GO
I FOLLOWED CLOSE BEHIND HER
TRIED TO HOLD UP AND BE BRAVE
BUT I COULD NOT HIDE MY SORROW
WHEN THEY LAID HER IN THE GRAVE
I WENT HOME, MY HOME WAS LONELY
NOW MY MOTHER, SHE HAS GONE
ALL MY BROTHERS, SISTERS CRYING
WHAT A HOME SO SAD AND ALONE

WILL YOU BE FAITHFUL WHILE I'M GONE
I MUST GO AWAY SWEETHEART AND LEAVE YOU
OH HOW I DREAD THOSE NIGHTS ALONE
I'LL BE FAR AWAY AND YOU'LL BE LONELY
WILL YOU BE FAITHFUL WHILE I'M GONE (interlude)
WHEN I'VE GONE TO DO MY TIME IN PRISON
WILL YOU LOVE ME THEN AS TRUE AND STRONG
I COULD NEVER LIVE IF YOU DECEIVE ME
WILL YOU BE FAITHFUL WHILE I'M GONE (solo)
DRINKIN' WINE HAS CAUSED ME ALL THIS TROUBLE
NOW I REAP THE BITTER SEEDS I'VE SOWN
THREE LONG YEARS TO WAIT TO BE WITH YOU DEAR
WILL YOU BE FAITHFUL WHILE I'M GONE (interlude)
WHEN THE COLD STEEL BARS HAVE CLOSED BEHIND ME
WHEN I'M LOCKED INSIDE GRAY WALLS OF STONE
WILL YOU SHARE YOUR LOVE WITH ANY OTHER
OR WILL YOU BE FAITHFUL WHILE I'M GONE (interlude)

WILL YOU BE WAITING THERE FOR ME
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 LOST
CHORUS (after each verse):
UNTIL THEY SENT ME FAR AWAY
WHERE EACH MINUTE SEEMS A DAY
BUT MAYBE SOME DAY I'LL BE FREE
WILL YOU BE WAITING THERE FOR ME
I'M IN THIS CELL BECAUSE OF YOU
THE CRIME I DID YOU BROUGHT ME TO
MY JEALOUS HEART JUST COULD NOT STAND
TO SEE YOU WITH ANOTHER MAN
I'LL HOPE SOME DAY THAT YOU WILL LEARN
AND BROKEN HEARTED YOU'LL RETURN
BUT LISTEN DARLIN', PLEASE DON'T WAIT
FOR MAYBE THEN WILL BE TOO LATE
