Beyond the night dear as I lay sleeping

I dreamed I held you in my arms

But when I woke dear I was mistaken

And I hung my head and I cried

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are gray

You’ll never know dear how much I love you

Please don’t take my sunshine away

I’ll always love you and make you happy

If you will only say the same

But if you leave me and love another

You’ll regret it all someday

You told me once dear you really loved me

And no one could come between

But now you’ve left me to love another

You have shattered all my dreams

In all my dreams dear you seem to leave me

When I awake my poor heart pains

So won’t you come back and make me happy

I’ll forgive dear I’ll take all the blame

Went up on the mountain
Just to give my horn a blow
Thought I heard my true love say
Yonder comes my beau

   Bile them Cabbage down
   Turn them hoecakes round
   The only song that I can sing
   Is bile them cabbage down

Took my gal to the blacksmith shop
To have her mouth made small
She turned around a time or two
And swallowd shop and all

Possum in a Simmon tree
Raccoon on the ground
Raccoon says you son-of-a-gun
Shake some Simmon’s down

Someone stole my old ‘coon dog
Wish they’d bring him back
He chased the big hogs through the fence
And the little ones through the crack

Met a possum in the road
Blind as he could be
Jumped the fence and whipped my dog
And bristled up at me

Once I had an old gray mule
His name was Simon Slick
He’d roll his eyes and back his ears
And how that mule would kick

How that mule would kick
He kicked with his dying breath
He shoved his hind feet down his throat
And kicked himself to death

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away

Cheeks as red as a blooming rose
And eyes are the prettiest brown
She's the darling of my heart
Sweetest little girl in town

Oh, Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away

I wish I had a big, fine horse
And corn to feed him on
And Shady Grove to stay at home
And feed him while I'm gone

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away

Went to see my Shady Grove
She was standing in the door
Her shoes and stockings in her hand
And her little bare feet on the floor

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away

When I was a little boy
I wanted a Barlow knife
And now I want little Shady Grove
To say she'll be my wife

Oh, Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away

Kiss from pretty little Shady Grove
Is sweet as brandy wine
And there ain't no girl in this whole world
That's prettier than mine

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away

I’ve traveled o’er this country wide seeking fortune fair

Up and down the two coast lines I’ve traveled everywhere

From Portland East to Portland West back along the line

I’m going now to the place that’s best that old hometown of mine

Eight more miles and Louisville will come into my view

Eight more miles on this old road and I’ll never more be blue

I knew some day that I’d come back I knew it from the start

Eight more miles to Louisville the hometown of my heart

There’s bound to be a gal somewhere that you like best of all

Mine lives down in Louisville she’s long and she is tall

But she’s the kind that you can’t find a traveling through the land

I’m on my way this very day to win her heart and hand

Now I can picture in my mind a place we’ll call our home

A humble little hut for two we’ll never want to roam

The place that’s right for that love sight is in those bluegrass hills

Where gently flows the Ohio by a place called Louisville

Angeline the baker, lives on the village green

The way I always loved her, beats all you've ever seen

Angeline the baker, Angeline I know

Should have married Angeline, twenty years ago

Her father was a baker, his name was Uncle Sam

I never can forget her, no matter where I am

She said couldn't do hard work, because she is not stout

Baked the biscuits every day and poured the coffee out

I bought Angeline a brand new dress, neither black nor brown

It was the colour of a stormy skies, before the rain came down

Sixteen horses in my team, the leader he was blind

I dreamed that I was dying, I saw my Angeline

Angeline the baker, age of 43

Fed her sugar candy, but she still won't marry me

Angeline the baker, Angeline I know

Should have married Angeline, just twenty years ago

John Henry was a little baby boy

You could hold him on the palm of your hand

And his Papa cried out this lonesome farewell

Son you’re gonna be a steel driving man lord, lord

Son you’re gonna be a steel driving man

John Henry went up on the mountain

Looked down on the other side

Lord the mountain was so tall John Henry was so small

He laid down his hammer and he cried poor boy

Laid down his hammer and he cried

John Henry walked through the tunnel

Had his captain by his side

The last words that John Henry said was bring me

Cool drink of what ‘for I die lord, lord

Cool drink of what ‘for I die

Talk about John Henry as much as you please

Say and do all that you can

There never was born in these United States

No such a steel driving man lord, lord

No such a steel driving man

John Henry told his captain

I want to go to bed

Lord fix me a pallet, I want to lay down

Got a mighty roaring in my head lord, lord

Mighty roaring in my head

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I'm begging of you please don't take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

Please don't take him just because you can

Your beauty is beyond compare

With flaming locks of auburn hair

With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

Your smile is like a breath of spring

Your voice is soft like summer rain

And I cannot compete with you

Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep

And there's nothing I can do to keep

From crying when he calls your name

Jolene

And I can easily understand

How you could easily take my man

But you don't know what he means to me

Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I'm begging of you please don't take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

Please don't take him just because you can

You could have your choice of men

But I could never love again

He's the only one for me

Jolene

I had to have this talk with you

My happiness depends on you

And whatever you decide to do

Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I'm begging of you please don't take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

Please don't take him even though you can

Jolene, Jolene

Chill out bruh

It was in the spring one sunny day

My good gal left me Lord she went away

And now she’s gone but I don’t worry

‘Cause I’m sitting on top of the world

She called me up from down in El Paso

Said come back, daddy, Lord I need you so

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Show me a woman a man can trust

Mississippi River, long, deep and wide

The woman I’m loving is on the other side

You don’t like my peaches, don’t you shake my tree

Get out of my orchard, let my peaches be

Don’t you come here running, holding out your hand

I’ll get me a woman like you got your man

Don’t fall in love with me darling I’m a rambler
   Although you’re the sweetest sweetheart in this world
   It’s all for your sake dear that I’m leaving
   Don’t give your heart to a rambler, little girl

I handed you a line dear and I’m sorry
You’re just a little sweeter that the rest
Believe me when I say I don’t want to hurt you
Or do anything to mar our happiness

If I’d never had the blues, little darling
Or the lure of the road, dear on my mind
But I’m bound to hear the whistle of a freight train
And the boxcars as they rattle down the line

Instrumental

Roll in my sweet baby’s arms

Roll in my sweet baby’s arms

Lay around the shack ’til the mail comes back

And I’ll roll in my sweet baby’s arms

I ain’t gonna work on the railroad

I ain’t gonna work on the farm

Lay down the shack ’til the mail train comes back

And I’ll roll in my sweet baby’s arms

Now where were you last Friday night

While I was lying in jail

Walking the streets with another man

Wouldn’t even go my bail

I know you parents don’t like me

They drove me away from your door

If I had my life to live over

I’d never go there any more

Oh, yonder stands little Maggie

With a dram glass in her hand

She's drinkin' away her troubles

She's a-courtin' another man

How can I ever stand it,

Just to see them two blue eyes,

Shinin' like some diamonds,

Like some diamonds in the sky.

Pretty flowers were made for bloomin'

Pretty stars were made to shine

Pretty women were made for lovin'

Little Maggie was made for mine

Lay down your last gold dollar

Lay down your gold watch and chain

Little Maggie's gonna dance for daddy

Listen to that ol' banjo ring

Sometimes I have a nickel,

And sometimes I have a dime,

But today I have ten dollars,

And i’m gon pay for little Maggie's bond

Run away, run away, little Maggie

run as fast as you can

I'll get me another woman

You can get you another man

Oh, yonder stands little Maggie

With a dram glass in her hand

She's drinkin' away her troubles

She's a-courtin' another man

 Oh, bury me beneath the willow
   Under the weeping willow tree
   So she will know where I am sleeping
   And perhaps she’ll weep for me

My heart is sad I am lonely
For the only one I love
When shall I see her oh no never
‘Til we meet in heaven above

She told me that she dearly loved me
How could I believe it untrue
Until the angels softly whispered
She will prove untrue to you

Tomorrow was to be our wedding
God oh God where can she be
She’s out a courting with another
And no longer cares for me

[Chorus]

There is a house in New Orleans

They call the Rising Sun

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

And God, I know I'm one

[Verse 1]

My mother was a tailor

She sewed my new blue jeans

My father was a gamblin' man

Down in New Orleans

[Verse 2]

Now the only thing a gambler needs

Is a suitcase and a trunk

And the only time he's satisfied

Is when he's on a drug

[Instrumental Break 01:43-02:28]

[Organ Solo]

[Verse 3]

Oh, mothers, tell your children

Not to do what I have done

Spend your lives in sin and misery

In the House of the Rising Sun

bulan biru di kentucky, terus bersinar

bersinar pada yang hilang dan tidak betul

bulan biru di kentucky terus bersinar

bersinar pada yang hilang dan hancur hatiku

It was on a moonlight night the stars were shining bright

When they whispered from on high your love has said good-bye

Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining

Shine on the one that’s gone and said good-bye
—————
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining

Shine on the one that’s gone and proved untrue

Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining

Shine on the one that’s gone and left me blue

Some bright morning when this life is over

I’ll fly away

To that home on God’s celestial shore

I’ll fly away

I’ll fly away oh glory

I’ll fly away (in the morning)

When I die hallelujah by and by

I’ll fly away

When the shadows of this life have gone

I’ll fly away

Like a bird from these prison walls I’ll fly

I’ll fly away

I’ll fly away oh glory

I’ll fly away (in the morning)

When I die hallelujah by and by

I’ll fly away

Oh how glad and happy when we meet

I’ll fly away

No more cold iron shackles on my feet

I’ll fly away

I’ll fly away oh glory

I’ll fly away (in the morning)

When I die hallelujah by and by

I’ll fly away

Just a few more weary days and then

I’ll fly away

To a land where joys will never end

I’ll fly away

I’ll fly away oh glory

I’ll fly away (in the morning)

When I die hallelujah by and by

I’ll fly away

Will the Circle Be Unbroken

I was standing by my window,

On one cold and cloudy day

When I saw that hearse come rolling

For to carry my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken

by and by, Lord, by and by

There's a better home a-waiting

in the sky, Lord, in the sky

I said to that undertaker

undertaker please drive slow

for this lady you are carrying

Lord, I hate to see here go

Will the circle be unbroken

by and by, Lord, by and by

There's a better home a-waiting

in the sky, Lord, in the sky

Oh, 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

Will the circle be unbroken

by and by, Lord, by and by

There's a better home a-waiting

in the sky, Lord, in the sky

I went back home, my home was lonesome

missed my mother, she was gone

all of my brothers, sisters crying

what a home so sad and lone

Will the circle be unbroken

by and by, Lord, by and by

There's a better home a-waiting

in the sky, Lord, in the sky

We sang the songs of childhood

Hymns of faith that made us strong

Ones that Mother Maybelle taught us

Hear the angels sing along

Will the circle be unbroken

by and by, Lord, by and by

There's a better home a-waiting

in the sky, Lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken

by and by, Lord, by and by

There's a better home a-waiting

in the sky, Lord, in the sky

PACK IT UPPPP

It’s been ten long years since I left my home

In the hollow where I was born

Where the cool fall nights make the wood smoke rise

And the foxhunter blows his horn

I fell in love with a girl from the town

I thought that she would be true

I ran away to Charlottesville

And worked in a sawmill or two

What have they done to the old home place

Why did they tear it down

And why did I leave the plow in the field

And look for a job in the town

Well my girl she ran off with somebody else

The taverns took all my pay

And here I stand where the old home stood

Before they took it away

Now the geese they fly south and the cold wind blows

As I stand here and hang my head

I’ve lost my love I’ve lost my home

And now I wish that I was dead

As I looked at the valleys down below

They were green just as far as I could see

As my memory returned oh how my heart did yearn

For you and the day that used to be

High on a mountain top wind blowing free

Wondering about the days that used to be

High on a mountain top standing all alone

Wondering where the years of my life have flown

Oh I wonder if you ever think of me

Or if time has blotted out your memory

As I listen to the breeze blow gently through the trees

I’ll always cherish what you meant to me

There’s a well beaten path in the old mountainside

Where I wandered when I was a lad

And I wandered alone to the place I call home

In those Blueridge hills far away

Oh I love those hills of old Virginia

From those Blueridge hills I did roam

When I die won’t you bury me on the mountain

Far away near my Blueridge mountain home

Now my thoughts wander back to that ramshackle shack

In those blue ridge hills far away

Where my mother and dad were laid there to rest

They are sleeping in peace together there

I return to that old cabin home with the sigh

I’ve been longing for days gone by

When I die won’t you bury me on that old mountain side

Make my resting place upon the hills so high

We were waltzing that night in Kentucky

‘Neath the beautiful harvest moon

And I was the boy who was lucky

But it all ended too soon

As I sit here alone in the moonlight

I can see your smiling face

And I long once more for your embrace

In that beautiful Kentucky waltz

Way down in Columbus, Georgia

Want to be back in Tennessee

Way down in Columbus Stockade

Friends all turned their backs on me

Go and leave me if you wish to

Never let it cross your mind

If in your heart you love another

Leave me little darling, I don’t mind

Last night as I lay sleeping

I dreamt I held you in my arms

When I awoke I was mistaken

I was peering through the bars

Many a night with you I’ve rambled

Many an hour with you I’ve spent

Thought I had your heart forever

Now I find it’s only lent
