When the angel of death comes down after you. Can you smile and say that you have been true?. Can you truthfully say with your dying breath. That you're ready to meet the angel of death?.
Like a bird that's lost its mate in flight. I'm alone and oh so blue tonight. Like a piece of driftwood on the sea. May you never, never be alone like me.
I'll pretend I'm free from sorrow make believe that wrong is right. Your wedding day will be tomorrow but there'll be no teardrops tonight. Why oh why should you desert me are you doing this for spite.
I have heard your stories about your fast trains. But now I'll tell you bout one all the southern folks have seen. She's the beauty of the southland listen to that whistle scream.
(May you never be alone like me). Like a bird that's lost its mate in flight. I'm alone and oh, so blue tonight. Like a piece of driftwood on the sea.
People steal, they cheat and lie. For wealth and what it will buy. Don't they know on judgment day. Gold and silver will melt away?. . I'd rather be in a deep, dark grave.
Oh, the rain is slowly fallin'. And my heart is so sore. Six more miles and leave my darlin'. Never to meet no more. . Six more miles to the graveyard.
I could say it's over now. That I was glad to see you go. I could hate you for the way, I'm feeling. . My lips could tell a lie. But my heart would know.
I'll be your baby. And I don't mean maybe. If you'll be a baby to me. . I'll be your darling. And there'll be no quarrelin'. If you'll be a baby to me.
All you want to do is sit around and pout. And now I got enough and so I'm getting out. I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now. I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow.
Oh, I can't get you off of my mind. When I try I'm just wasting my time. . Lord, I've tried and I've tried. And all night long I've cried. But I can't get you off of my mind.
I've tried and tried to run and hide. To find a life that's new. But wherever I go I always know. . I can't escape from you. . A jug of wine to numb my mind.
Well, I can't get you off of my mind. When I try, I'm just wastin' my time. Well, I've tried and I've tried. And all night long I've cried. But I can't get you off of my mind.
You'd known so long that you were wrong. But still you had your way. You told her lies and alibies. And hurt her more each day. . But now your conscience bothers you.
Everybody says you let me down I should be ashamed to take you round. Makes no difference what you used to do darling I could never be ashamed of you.
Oh, the rain is slowly falling. And my heart is so sore. Six more miles and leave my darlin'. Never to meet no more. . Six more miles to the graveyard.
People still they cheat and lie. For wealth and what it will buy. But don't they know on judgment day. That gold and silver will melt away. . I'd rather be in a deep dark grave.
Everybody says you let me down. I should be ashamed to take you 'round. Makes no difference what you used to do, darling. I could never be ashamed of you.
Well, you're lookin' at a guy that's gettin' kinda mad. I had lot of luck but it's all been bad. No matter how I struggle and strive. I'll never get out of this world alive.
My cold, cold heart is melted now. I seek for peace but dont know how. I go to bed but only weep. My cold, cold heart wont let me sleep. . Your lonesome voice that seems to say.
