You and me together life's a pleasure. But without your love life's not complete. And I feel the same about you, darling. We belong together you and me.
Yesterday's promise got you everything I had. You took all the best of me and now you call me bad. You made me careless with the pretty things you'd say.
Oh, see the fleet foot hosts of men. Who come with faces wan. From farm stead and from Fisher's cot. Along the banks of Ban. They come with vengeance in their eyes,.
Frankie and Johnnie were sweethearts. They had a quarrel one day. Johnny vowed he would leave her. He said he was going away. Never coming home, goin' away to roam.
You don't knock. You don't knock, you just walk on in. The door. The door into heaven's inn. There's love. There's love and joy for you. To share. To share the whole day through.
Sweet is the kiss on the lips of the lover. Warm as the breath of the wind in the summer. Bitter is the taste of good bye on the 'morrow. So must it be, both of joy and of sorrow.
It'll be twelve months to the day in an hour since you left me. Eleven months three weeks since I left town. First stop was tendin' bar down in Baton Rouge.
You make it seem so easy all the time. You amaze me with the way you look at life. It's not so bad it all works out. That's what you say when I get down.
He says, I look like someone. That he used to know only I got bigger eyes. He says, that he can tell that I'm a Capricorn. That's when I feel his hand on my thigh.
If these old walls could talk. I'd be a sad man. She'd left me long ago. If she knew the things I did back then. No, they ain't said a word. Stood silent through it all.
You made me lie to you about my running around. You wouldn't believe me when I told you of a new love I had found. So I just pretended that there never was anyone else.
I planned the cottage just for you here in town. And in those dreams I could see little children running round. Now darlin' you're happy cause you have all those things.
You lay so easy on my mind oh so easy on my mind. Whenever I need you all I have to do is close my eyes. You lay so easy on my mind yes so easy on my mind.
You can take the lips that once kissed me. And the good times that we will never know. But I'll keep the love I feel for you forever. And you can't take it with you when you go.
Well you can have her I don't want her she didn't love me anyway. She only wanted someone to play with but all I wanted was love to stay. . The girl I love she upped and left me she ran away with my best friend.
She walked right up to me and took me by the hand. An angel who could please most any man. She said to me I'm free and you're just my kind. And for a moment you almost slipped my mind.
Hopped a freight train out of Nashville, rode it up to Ohio. From my way on to Detroit, stayed there for a month or so. Caught a ride into Chicago with a truck drivin' man.
You might have a happy family, nice house, fine car. You might be successful in real estate. You could even be a football star. . You might have a prime time TV show.
I've got two arms that reach for you. I've got two eyes that watch for you. And I've got a heart full of love it's true for you you you. I'd take the moon from the sky for you.
In the deep dark hills of Eastern Kentucky. That's the place where I trace my bloodline. And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone. "You'll never leave Harlan alive".
