WAIT FOR THE WAGON
(George P. Knauff - R. Bishop Buckley)
« © '34 Writer Share, PD »
(Wait for the wagon wait for the wagon
Wait for the wagon and we'll all take a ride)
Will you come with me my Susie dear beyond blue mountains free
Where the blossoms smell the sweetest come rove along with me
Wait for the wagon wait for the wagon
Wait for the wagon and we'll all take a ride
Wait for the wagon wait for the wagon
Wait for the wagon and we'll all take a ride
Now it's every Sunday morning dear when I'm by your side
Hop into the wagon and all we will ride
Wait for the wagon wait for the wagon
Wait for the wagon and we'll all take a ride
[ harmonica - fiddle ]
Where the river runs like silver and the birds they sing so sweet
I got a pretty little a cabin hon and somethin' good to eat
Wait for the wagon wait for the wagon...
Come listen to my story now it will relieve my heart
So jump into the wagon and off we will start
Wait for the wagon wait for the wagon...

AURA LEE
(George R. Poulton - W.W. Fosdick)

(Aura Lee Aura Lee maid of golden hair
Sunshine came along with thee and swallows in the air)
As the blackbird in the spring neath the willow tree
He sat and piped I heard him sing praising Aura Lee
Aura Lee Aura Lee maid of golden hair
Sunshine came along with thee and swallows in the air
[ harmonica ]
(Aura Lee the birds may flee the willow's golden hair)
Swing through winter fitfully on the stormy air
Aura Lee Aura Lee maid of golden hair
Sunshine came along with thee and swallows in the air

BLUES STAY AWAY FROM ME
(Alton Delmore - Wayne Raney - Henry Glover)
« © '49 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
Blues stay away from me blues why don't you let me be
Don't know why you keep on haunting me
Love was never meant for me true love was never meant for me
Seems somehow we never can agree
[ harmonica ]
Tears so many I can't see
Well these years don't mean a thing to me
Time goes by and still I can't be free
Time goes by and still I can't be free

WHITE SILVER SANDS
(Chuck Matthews - Gladys Reinhardt)
« © '59 Sharina Music, BMI »
(See the sunset in the evening with the only love I know)
Where the deep blue pearly waters wash upon white silver sands
Where on the brink of love I kissed her and obeyd my heart's command
Where the deep blue pearly waters wash upon white silver sands
We watched the sunset in the evening in a far and distant land
So here beneath God's blue heaven there's a place I must go
See the sunset in the evening with the only love I know
Where the deep blue pearly waters wash upon white silver sands
We watched the sunset in the evening and obeyd my heart's command
(Here beneath God's blue heaven there's a place I must go
See the sunset in the evening with the only love I know)
Where the deep blue pearly waters wash upon white silver sands
We watched the sunset in the evening and obeyd my heart's command
And obeyd my heart's command and obeyd my heart's command

LET THE REST OF THE WORLD GO BY
(Jimmy Kern - J.K. Brennan - Ernest R. Ball)
« © '57 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP »
With someone like you a pal so good and true
I'd like to leave it all behind and go and find
Some place that's known to God alone just a spot we could call our own
We'll find perfect peace where joys will never cease
Out there beneath the calmly skies
We'll build a sweet little nest somewhere out in the west
And let the rest of the world go by
(With someone like you a pal good and true
I'd like to leave it all behind and go and find)
Some place that's known to God alone just a spot we could call our own
We'll find perfect peace...

Cimarron roll on to my lonely song
Carry me away from these skies of gray
Though I'm feeling blue I'll roll on with you
To the ocean blue Cimarron roll on
[ fiddle ]
(Though I'm feelin' blue I'll roll on with you
To the ocean blue Cimarron roll on
Oh Cimarron roll on and on and on)
Cimarron roll on to my lonely song...

WHEN YOUR OLD WEDDING RING WAS NEW
(Charles McCarthy - Joe Solieri - Bert Douglas)
« © '64 Mills Music, ASCAP »
When your old wedding ring was new
And each dream that I dreamed came true
I remember with pride how we stood side by side
What a beautiful picture you made as my bride
Even though silver crowns your hair
I can still see the gold ringlets there
Love's old flame is the same as the day I changed your name
When your old wedding ring was new
(When your old wedding ring was new
And each dream that I dreamed came true
I remember with pride how we stood side by side
What a beautiful picture you made as my bride)
Even though silver crowns your hair...
When your old wedding ring was new

FORT WORTH JAIL
(Dick Reinhardt)
« © '46 Red River Songs, BMI »
(Way down in Fort Worth jailhouse feeling low feeling low)
Way down in Fort Worth jailhouse feeling kind of low
Nobody cares about me cause I ain't got no dough
Well the No 5 so black and shiny took me off to jail
My good gal said so long daddy cause I can't go your bail
They put me in that cell so dreary turned them lights down low
Fed me beans and hard cornbread said they'll never let me go
All you ramblin' men take a warning don't go near that big cowtown
Never trust a stockyard babies cause they'll always lets you down
Dream all days I'm a gonna be a goin' down that road so long
Looking for my blue eyed baby though I know she's done me wrong
(Though I know she's done me wrong though I know she's done me wrong)

HOME ON THE RANGE
(Gene Autry - Dan Kelley - Brewster Highley)
« © '52 Western Music, ASCAP »
(Where seldom is heard a discouraging word and the skies are not cloudy all day)
Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam and the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word and the skies are not cloudy all day
Home home on the range where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word and the skies are not cloudy all day
[ harmonica ]
Home home on the range...

Carolina moon keep shining shining on the one who waits for me

Keep shining on the one who waits for me I'm pining for the place I long to be
