It may be that I'll never forget her
Cause she's love and love lives everywhere
Could it be that I'll alays be saying
I got to go for she once lived here
I see her face in the cool of the evening
I hear her voice in each breathe that care
Oh there must be a town without memories
But not this one for she once lived here
I got to go now for she once lived here

Why do we stay together if we always fuss and fight
You ain't never done to be wrong and I ain't never been right
Tell me where you think we're goin' cause I ain't got no way of knowin'
When things go wrong you go your way you leave me here to pay and pay
And I just don't like this kind of livin' [ steel ]
I just don't like the things you're doin' your evil heart will be your ruin
When things start running smooth and free you haul right off and you pick on me
And I just don't like this way of livin'
They say the road of love is long it's rocky and it's rough
But if this road don't start to get smooth I've traveled it long enough
Why don't you act a little bit older and get that chip off of your shoulder
Well I told you once now I'll tell you twice you better start to treatin' me nice
Cause I just don't like this kind of livin'

I miss you darling more and more every day as heaven would miss the stars above
With every heartbeat I still think of you and remember our faded love [ fiddle ]
I think of the past and all the pleasures we've had as I watch the mating of the dove
It was in the springtime that you said goodbye I remember our faded love
Silver dew on the blue grass tonight
How it shines in the moon silver light
In the days that used to be how I wish that you could see
Silver dew on the blue grass tonight [ fiddle ]
Star of love high above shining bright
Knows the wish that I'm wishing tonight
And you'll bring him back I know to the one that loves him so
Star of love high above shining bright
Silver dew on the blue grass tonight...

(There will be peace in the valley for me some day
There will be peace in the valley for me oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sorrow no sadness oh my Lord no trouble I see)
There will be peace in the valley for me (oh yes)
Oh well the bear will be gentle yes the wolf will be tame
And the lion will lay down by the lamb
And the beast from the wild will be lead by a child
And I'll be changed from this creature that I am (oh yes)
(There will be peace in the valley...
Yes there will be peace in the valley for me
**********
If I can't walk with you then I'll walk all alone
Where my feet touch the ground then that's where I'll call home
I don't like all this loneliness that I go through
But I can't change overnight from loving you
All you say to forget the lips I used to kiss
Find someone to take the place of a love I once knew
Yes you walked out the door and left me weeping
And I can't change overnight from loving you
**********
I learned the golden rule before I started to school
Like every little young'n should do
But what am I worth on God's great earth
If I'm not worth nothing to you
What am I worth here on earth
Darling If I can't have you
I just can't find no peace of mind
With anything that I do
I don't know why you made me cry
Honey won't you give me a clue
What am I worth on God's great earth
If I'm not worth nothing to you
I might get sent to be president
Yes I'm sure I could do it for you
They would feature my face all over the place
For all the good thing I do
I might get my name in the hall of fame
Or even in the book of who's who
But what am I worth on God's great earth
If I'm mot worth anything to you
What am I worth here on earth...
I don't know why you made me cry...

You're gonna change your way of livin' change the things you do
Stop doin' all the things that you oughtn't to
Your daddy's mad he's done got peeved you're gonna change or I'm a gonna leave
Well now this ain't right that is wrong you just keep nuggin' me all the day long
It's gotta stop I don't mean please you're gonna change or I'm a gonna leave
The way they keep a lover happy make her do what's right
It's love her every morning love her out at night
Your daddy's mad he's done got peeved you're gonna change or I'm a gonna leave [ steel ]
Well now every time you get mad you pack your rags and you go back to dad
You tell him lies he don't believe you're gonna change or I'm a gonna leave
You're gonna change your way of livin'...

Take me back to Tulsa I'm too young to marry
Take me back to Tulsa I'm too young to marry [ steel ]
Little bee sucks the blossom big bee gives the honey
Dark man raise the cotton white man gets the money
Take me back to Tulsa... [ fiddle ]
Walk and talk to Suzy walk and talk to Suzy
Walk and talk to Suzy walk and talk to Suzy
We always wear a great big smile we never do look sour
Travel all over the country playing by the hour
I'm so glad that I have found you little darling
In my heart I hold the sweetest memory
And each time I gaze into your eyes that's heaven
I can see the same sweet girl so dear to me
You will never have to live on just a promise
I will always be around you when you call
I will never share my kisses with another
Only with the same sweet girl my one and all
I'm so glad that I have found you little darling...

I'm a wandering soul I'm lost from my Saviour
A sheep that has strayed so far from the fold
Just tarryin' along in the clutch of old Satan
But I'm hoping someday you'll save my soul [ piano ]
Dear Lord please forgive the grief I have caused you
The thoughts of my sins that tortured my soul
Oh help me to know the joy of salvation
Help cleanse my life through and make me whole
Your leaving will bring autumn sorrow
And my tears like withered leaves will fall
But spring could bring some glad tomorrow
And darling we could be happy after all [ steel ]
As it is in nature's plan no season gets the upper hand
Oh how I try to keep this fact in mind
The trees are bare the cold wind blows and by experience we should know
That winter comes but the spring is close behind
Your leaving will bring autumn sorrow...
