TROUBLESOME WATERS

(Maybelle Carter - Dixie Dean) « © '64 Scruggs Music, BMI »
Troublesome waters much blacker than night
Are hiding my view of the harbor's bright lights
Tossed in the turmoil of life's stormy sea I cry to my Saviour have mercy on me
Then gently I'm feeling the touch of his hands guiding my boat in safely to land
Leading the way to heaven's bright shore troublesome waters I'm fearing no more

Troublesome waters around me do roll rocking my boat and racking my soul
Loved ones are drifting and living in sin treacherous whirlpools are pulling them in
When troublesome waters are rolling so high I'll lift up my voice and to heaven I'll cry
My Lord I am trusting give guidance to me steady my boat on life's troubled sea

Then gently I'm feeling...

NO MOTHER IN THIS WORLD

(Lester Flatt) « © '55 Scruggs Music, BMI »
I have no mother in this world no mother in my home
The place don't seem the same to me since mother she has gone

No mother in this world today no one to call my hand
No one here to care for me till we meet in the Promised land
[ dobro ] I never shall forget the day my mother said farewell
How I miss her in this world no one but God can tell

No mother in this world...

STONE THE BUILDERS REFUSED

(Tom T. Hall) « © '66 Newkeys Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
Oh the builders of this world have no use for me
While they were praising men of this world I've been on my knees
But someday I'll be needed there and I'll get my reward
I'll be a corner stone in the house of my Lord

I'm just a stone that builders refused
They tried to shake me from my faith but I couldn't be used
Now I been scorned and counted out and sometimes called a fool
I've been a stone the builders refused
[ harmonica - dobro ] Now I don't want to be a part of castles on sand
They said there was no place I'd fit but Lord I understand
I may not look like much to men but I shall not be moved
I'll be a stone the builders refused

I'm just a stone...
I'll be a stone the builders refused

WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN

(Lester Flatt - Earl Scruggs - Paul Campbell) « © '58 Scruggs Music, BMI »
Oh when the saints go marching in when the saints go marching in
Oh Lord I want to be in that number when the saints go marching in
[ dobro ] Oh when the stars begin to fall when the stars begin to fall
Oh Lord I want to be in that number when the stars begin to fall

Oh when the saints...
[ harmonica ] Oh when they crown him Lord of all when they crown him Lord of all
Oh Lord I want to be in that number when they crown him Lord of all

Oh when the saints...

WAIT FOR THE SUNSHINE

(Buck Graves - Jake Lambert) « © '66 Scruggs Music, BMI »
Wait for the sunshine wait for the sunshine wait for the clouds to roll away
Maybe tomorrow gone will be sorrow wait for the sunshine to bring a brighter day
[ dobro ] If sorrow and trouble you're seeing double black clouds surround you all the time
Well don't let misfortune be too discouraging remember tomorrow the sun will shine

Wait for the sunshine...
[ harmonica ] If it seems forever since there's been laughter don't let old misery get you down
Just keep your chin up don't ever give up tomorrow the sunshine may come around

Wait for the sunshine...

CABIN ON THE HILL

(B.L. Shook) « © '43 Mudthumper Music, BMI »
There's a happy childhood home in my mem'ry I can see
Standing out upon the hill neath the shadow of the tree
If I only had my way if I'd give my heart a thrill
Just to simply wander back to the cabin on the hill

Oh I want to wander back to the cabin on the hill
Neath the shadow of the tree I would like to linger still
Just to be with those I love join my heart with all the fill
And I want to wander back to the cabin on the hill
[ ac.guitar ] But the saddest of it all I can never more return
To that happy childhood home matters not how much I yearn
If I'd only had my way if I'd give my heart a thrill
Just to simply wander back to the cabin on the hill

Oh I want to wander back...

THANK GOD I'M ON MY WAY

(Lester Flatt) « © '66 Scruggs Music, BMI »
Now I've been working all my life but it all has been in vain
I've tried to live for Satan and the whole wide world to gain
But when I got down on my knees I could hear my Saviour say
Come unto me I'll give you rest thank God I'm on my way

I'm on my way to heaven I'm gonna travel on
We'll shout and sing his praises up there around the throne
I want to shake my Saviour's hand and hear him say well done
And when I hear him say these words I know my race is won
[ harmonica - dobro ] No matter what we try to do while here on earth we roam
We can't forget our Saviour and live our life alone
You'll have to run to Jesus and let him make a way
I feel it deep down in my soul thank God I'm on my way

Dear friend if you are lost in sin your soul's not satisfied
Don't try to make a way yourself and leave the Lord outside
Just give your heart to Jesus and then you'll hear him say
Come unto me I'll give you rest thank God I'm on my way

I'm on my way to heaven...

I SAW MOTHER WITH GOD LAST NIGHT

(Marijohn Wilkin - Jean Crowe) « © '54 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
I saw mom with God last night
I was mad when God took you from me but last night I could plainly see
That he saved you from lots of misery
A smile upon your face told me you were happy as you could be
I'm a gonna ask God if he'll save a place for me

Mother dear sweet precious mother mother (sweet precious mother)
I saw you with God last night
He was holding to your hand showin' you around in the Promised Land
I saw you with God last night
[ dobro ] Gonna write two letters to the heaven's blue one to God and one to you
I'm a gonna thank him for bein' so nice to you
I've been cryin' since you went away but not one tear I've shed today
Cause I know now you're happy up there in the heaven's blue

Mother dear sweet precious mother...

WHO WILL SING FOR ME

(George Murdock - Louise Certain - Gladys Stacey) « © '56 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Often I sing for my friends when death's cold hand I see
But when I am called who will sing one song for me

I wonder who will sing for me
When I'm called to across that silent sea who will sing for me
[ dobro ] So I'll sing till the end and helpful try to be
Assured that some friends will sing one song for me

I wonder who will sing for me...
