Oh, my brother. Can't you hear me say. Oh, my brother. You'd better get down on your knees and pray. . Get down, get down, get down, get down. Get down on your knees and pray.
Mothers 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.
Back in the days of my childhood. In the evening when everything was still. I used to sit and listen to the fox hounds. With my dad in the old Kentucky hills.
Run Molly, run. (Oh, Molly). Run Molly, run. Long John's gonna beat you. Beneath the shinin' sun. . Long John was the youngest horse. And Molly was the old.
Well, blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining. Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue. Well, blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining. Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.
McKinley hollered, McKinley squalled. Doc said, "McKinley I can't find the cause. You're bound to die, you're bound to die". . Doc told the horse, he'd throw down his rein.
I want to be ready. I want to be ready. I want to be ready, Lord. To walk into Jerusalem, just like John. . I want to be ready. I want to be ready. I want to be ready, Lord.
Oh the people would come from far away. And they'd dance all night till the break of day. When the caller hollered "do-se-do". You knew Uncle Pen was ready to go.
I hate to see the sun sink low. Just for a cause you ought to know. For it's true love I can't forget. All of my sorrow, you'll soon regret. . You promised me love that was true.
I'm traveling down this lonesome road, oh, how I hate to go. The wind and storms are raging high and it's awful cold. My mind drifts back to you, sweetheart, and I love you so.
Summertime is past and gone and I'm on my way back home. To see the only one I ever loved. Now the moon is shining bright, it lights my pathway tonight.
Oh, my brother take this warning. Don't let ol' Satan hold your hand. You'd be lost in sin forever. You'd never reach the promised land. . The old crossroad now is waiting.
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh yeah. That's it man. Okay baby, yeah. Aha. Play it on. Aah, good song. Yeah.
Summertime is past and gone and I'm on my way back home. To see the only one I ever loved. Now the moon is shining bright, it lights my pathway tonight.
Stay away from me, you're causing me trouble. It's been that way, since from the start. Go on your way, you have another waiting. Stay away from me, you're breaking my heart.
Sitting alone in the moonlight. Thinking of the days gone by. Wondering about my darling. I can still hear her saying goodbye. . Oh, the moon grows pale as I sit here.
Now the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long, long, long. Now the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long. Another man has got my woman and gone.
I walked out to the graveyard. Down by the Church of God. I looked upon the one I love. That would soon be covered with sod. . Up along the Ohio river.
Traveling down this long lonesome highway. I'm so lonesome I could cry. Memories of how we once loved each other. And now you are saying goodbye. . On and on I'll follow my darling.
You're my sweet blue-eyed darling. And my love belongs to you. All I ask of you my darling. (All I ask, my darling). Is love me good and be true. (You love me good and be true).
