Good morning captain, good morning son. Do you need another mule skinner out on your new road line?. . I like working I'm rolling all the time. I can pop my initials on a mule any old time.
Mary grab the baby river's rising. Muddy water's taking back the land. Well this old house it won't take one more beating. Ain't no use to stay and make a stand..
Mother's not dead, she's only a sleeping. Just patiently waiting for Jesus to come. The birds will be singing while mother is sleeping. They will sing o'er as the grave sinks away.
Run, oh Molly run, run, oh Molly run. Tenbrooks gonna beat you, bright shinin' sun. To the bright shinin' sun, oh Lord, to the bright shinin' sun. . Tenbrooks was a big bay horse, he wore that shaggy mane.
To me she was a little Angel. Sent down to me from God above. It was on the day that I first met her. Then I told her of my love. . It's mighty dark for me to travel.
It was midnight on the stormy deep. My solitary watch I'd keep. And think of her I'd left behind. And ask if she'd be true and kind. . I never shall forget the day.
[Chorus]. Memories of you, sweetheart, still haunt me so. Everytime I hear your name I almost cry. But, there's just one thing that I want you to know.
Mother left this world of sorrow. Our home was silent and so sad. Dad took sick and had to leave us. I have no home No mother nor dad. . There's a little lonesome grave yard.
There's folks building homes as sweet as can be. They're leveling their yards and planting their trees. But my little hut, I'll just let it be. Lord Jesus, is building a mansion for me.
The baby cries I could almost die from lonesome. The late show's gone and the coffee's on I think I reach some. Somewhere out there my love you share but your thoughts are far from home.
I left Garden City Kansas with a ticket and a yen to see New York. I typed eigty words a minute so your corporation let me go to work. I fetch paper clips and coffee even help you dodge your domineering wife.
I hear footsteps in the street below me just an echo in the cold and loenly rayin. And my heart breaks with every step that's taken me. As he walk on out to me at midnight train.
Big Jimmy Baker and Marty Gray met at a teenage party. Jimmy took Marty to school the next day both of them were tardy. Sittin' in the parking lot talking over things, waitin' for the morning bell to ring.
Mary, did you know. That your baby boy, would one day walk on water?. Mary, did you know. That your baby boy, would save our sons and daughters?. . Did you know.
You come home late from work, baby. You wonder why it ain't on the table. After the day that I've had. I don't believe I'm able. . You give me every little reason in the book.
Everybody's heart aches, every time it opens. You don't know if you'll win or lose, you just have to let go. No I wasn't looking, it's funny how I found you.
You said to yourself that we did not love you. All of the years didn't mean nothing. You told yourself we would not forgive you. Mistakes that you made would keep us separated.
If you ever feel lonesome. And you're down in San Antone. Just beg, steal, or borrow. Two nickels or a dime, call me on the phone. . Oh, I'll meet you at Alamo Mission.
I got my mama's green eyes and my daddy's wild hair. Mama was a green eyed city girl. A perfect lady in her lace and pearls. Daddy was a wild haired country boy.
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine softer than a sigh. My love is deeper than the deepest ocean wider than the sky. My love is brighter than the brightest star that shines every night above.
