MAN OF CONSTANT SORROW

(Waylon Jennings) « © '60 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I'm a man of constant sorrow I've known trouble all my days
I'll say goodbye and leave tomorrow and I won't be back this way

Misery is nothing new to me memories will fade in time
Another day some new tomorrow just might ease my troubled mind

I'm a man of constant sorrow...

I just can't be the man you've made of me only you know how I tried
I'll say goodbye and leave tomorrow maybe then you'll be satisfied

Cause I'm a man of constant sorrow and I won't be back this way

BLOWIN' IN THE WIND

(Bob Dylan) « © '63 Special Rider Music, SESAC »
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man
And how many seas must a white dove sail before she can sleep in the sand
And how many times must the cannonballs fly before they're forever banned
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind the answer is blowin' in the wind

How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky
Yes and how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry
And how many deaths will it take till he knows that too many people have died
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind the answer is blowin' in the wind
[ guitar ] How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea
Yes and how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free
And how many times can a man turn his head pretendin' he just doesn't see
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind the answer is blowin' in the wind
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind the answer is blowin' in the wind

TIMES ARE GETTIN' HARD

(Bobby Bare) « © '65 Central Songs, BMI »
Times're gettin' hard boy money's almost gone
Times're gettin' hard boy time to move along
Gonna take my true love by the hand lead her from this town
Times're gettin' hard boy we're California bound

Pack up everything we own that won't take us long
Say goodbye today because tomorrow we'll be gone
It's hard to leave this place it's been hometown for so long
Oh but the men can't live with nothing's right and everything goes wrong

Sometimes I drink cause sometimes I think maybe I was born with a curse
Things don't get no better for me they just go from bad to worse
You know I spent my entire life learned my trade and working hard
Then one day the bossman brought some big machines
And next day he told me I was fired

Times're gettin' hard boy...

LEMON TREE

(Will Holt) « © '61 Wise Brother Music, ASCAP »
When I was just a lad of ten my father said to me
Come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree
Don't put your fate in love my boy my father said to me
I fear you'll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree

Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower's sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impssible to eat
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower's sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impssible to eat

One day beneath the lemon tree my love and I did lie
A girl so sweet that when she smiles the star grows in the sky
We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree
The music of her laughter hit my father's words for me

Lemon tree very pretty...
Lemon tree very pretty...

SO SOON

(Mel Tillis - Wayne P. Walker) « © '59 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
You promised love that never would end
But now you are gone and the hurtin' begins
Just what do you mean that I'm no more than a friend
Oh darling have you forgotten so soon

Love that we knew just fell by the way
The tears from my eyes fall day after day
There was a time we were carefree and gay
Oh darling have you forgotten so soon
[ guitar ] Lost is our love that we found long ago
Warm memories so soon have grown cold
Now where are the dreams that we dreamed long ago
Oh darling have you forgotten so soon
My darling have you forgotten so soon

ONE DAY AT A TIME

(Willie Nelson) « © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I live one day at a time I dream one dream at a time
Yeasterday's dead and tomorrow is blind I just live one day at a time
Guess that's your surprise to see me back at home
You know how much I miss you when I'm gone

But don't ask how long I planned to stay it never crossed my mind
I live one day at a time
I live one day at a time I dream one dream at a time
Yeasterday's dead and tomorrow is blind I just live one day at a time
I live one day at a time

DELIA'S GONE

(Karl Silbersdorf - Dick Toops) « © '59 Bon Bon Music, BMI »
Delia's gone one more round Delia's gone

First time I shot Delia shot her in the side
The second time I shot her she laid right down and died
Delia's gone one more round Delia's gone

The reason I shot my Delia she cursed such an evil curse
And if I hadn't shot her I'd believe she'd done me worse
Delia's gone one more round Delia's gone
Delia's gone one more round Delia's gone

I went down to the graveyard to look at my Delia's face
I said Delia gal I love you and I wish I could take your place
Delia's gone one more round Delia's gone

On Monday I was arrested Tuesday my case was trialed
The jurymen found me guilty brought teardrops in my eyes
Delia's gone one more round Delia's gone
Delia's gone one more round Delia's gone

Jailer oh jailer tell me how can I sleep
When all around my bedside I can hear little Delia's feet
Delia's gone one more round Delia's gone

Some gave Delia a dollar some gave her two or three
I didn't give Delia a penny cause she belonged to me
Delia's gone one more round Delia's gone
Delia's gone one more round Delia's gone

JUST TO SATISFY YOU

(Waylon Jennings - Don Bowman) « © '64 Irving Music, BMI / Parody Publishing, BMI »
Someone's gonna get hurt before you're through
Someone's gonna pay for the things you do
How many will it take how many hearts must break
Just to satisfy you just to satisfy you

Another love another fool to play your game
Another love another fool they're all the same
Someone's gonna get hurt before you're through
Don't be surprised if that someone is you

You're gonna find when it's too late
A heart that just won't break
Just to satisfy you just to satisfy you
[ vibes ] You're gonna find when it's too late...
Just to satisfy you just to satisfy you

I'M A LONG WAY FROM HOME

(Hank Cochran) « © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I'm a long way from home and so all alone
Someone please watch over me

Can't get a custom to the hunger
No one seems to notice that I'm cold
This kind of life ain't making me much younger
How I wish I'd stayed at home like I was told

I'm a long way from home and so all alone
Someone please watch over me

For the first time last night I slept in a public mission
And you just can't imagine how I felt
Cause things that happened seemed like fiction
You know someone even tried to steal my shoes while I slept

I'm a long way from home and so all alone
And I'm afraid like I'd thought I'd never be
I'm a long way from home everything is wrong
Someone please watch over me

DEEPENING SNOW

(Harlan Howard) « © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
It's snowing out there in the gloaming
I've sat here and watched it all night
Little kids will be thrilled when they awaken
And look at the fields deep and white

But the snow makes me think of my darling
How she hated the snow and the cold
Now she lies in a grave back in Knoxville
With a headstone that's just one year old

Please make the winter go quick Lord
So the flowers around her can grow
I can't stand the thought of my loved one
Lying there in the deepening snow

Little Nancy climbs upon my knee now
And I guess she's much too young to know
That the kiss I give was meant for her mother
Lying there in the deepening snow

Please make the winter go quick Lord...
Lying there in the deepening snow

DON'T THINK TWICE IT'S ALL RIGHT

(Bob Dylan) « © '63 Special Rider Music, SESAC »
There ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe it don't matter nayhow
And there ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe if you don't know by now
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn look out your window I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm traveling on don't think twice it's all right

Ain't no use in turnin' on your light babe a light I'll never know
Ain't no use in turnin' on your light babe I'm on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was something you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway don't think twice it's all right
[ guitar ] I'm walkin' down that long lonesome road babe where I'm bound I can't tell
But goodbye is too good a word gal so I'll just say fare thee well
Now I ain't seeing you treated me unkind you could have done better but I don't mind
You just sorta wasted my precious time don't think twice it's all right
Don't think twice it's all right

COUNTIN' THE HOURS COUNTIN' THE DAYS

(John D. Loudermilk) « © '64 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Coutin' the hours countin' the days
Till I'll be back in your arms to stay

I left Lake Charleston on 72 and I drove the Highway 10
Took a ride at a second light and I turn back right again
Drove till I came to the junction 6 went to the transit 5-0-1
Stopped for gas at the Cumberland pass and dinned in Burlington

Coutin' the hours countin' the days...
[ guitar ] Now out of Burlington I took old 70 headed west
I found me a picnic table and stratched out and I took a rest
I drove on across Montana dam till I came to Lake Awhoo
Took the prairie to the other side I was a coming home to you

Coutin' the hours countin' the days...
Coutin' the hours countin' the days...
