GET RHYTHM
(Johnny Cash)
« © '56 Hi-Lo Music »
Get rhythm when you get the blues get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock and roll feelin' in your bones put tapes on your toes and get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Well a little shoeshine boy he never gets lowdown he's got the dirtiest job in town
Bending low at the people's feet on a windy corner of a dirty street
Well I asked him while he shined my shoes how'd he keep from gettin' the blues
He grinned as he raised his little head he popped his shoeshine rag and then he said
Get rhythm when you get the blues...
Well I sat and listened to the sunshine boy and I thought I was gonna jump with joy
He slapped on the shoe polish left and right
He took his shoeshine rag and he hald it tight
He stopped once to wipe the sweat away
I said you mighty little boy to be a workin' that way
He said I like it with a big wide grin kept on a poppin' and he'd say it again
Get rhythm when you get the blues...
A jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine
I'll shake all your troubles from your worried mind
Get rhythm when you get the blues...

LONG TIME GONE
(Tex Ritter - Hank Hartford)
« © '58 Peer International, BMI »
You cheated me and made me lonely I tried to be your very own
There'll be a day you'll want me only cause when I leave I'll be a long time gone
You're gonna be sad you're gonna be weepin' you're gonna be blue and all alone
You'll regret the day you seen me leavin' cause when I leave I'll be a long time gone
Be a long time gone be a long time gone yes when I leave I'll be a long time gone
[ guitar ]
You'll see my face through tears and sorrow you'll miss the love you called your own
Baby there'll be no tomorrow cause when I leave I'll be a long time gone
Be a long time gone be a long time gone yes when I leave I'll be a long time gone
Be a long time gone be a long time gone yes when I leave I'll be a long time gone
Be a long time gone be a long time gone be a long time gone

HOPING THAT YOU'RE HOPING
(Betty E. Harrison)
« © '56 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Every minute of the day I'm thinking bout you
And without you life is just a crazy dream
Every breath I take I'm hoping that you're hoping
That I'm hoping you'll return to me
Do you remember dear when you said
If I ever stopped loving you you'd rather be dead
Well dear I don't know what on earth changed your mind
No matter who's holding you your heart is still mine
Everytime I think about the way
You'd cuddle up and spuddle up and thrill me with your charms
I get dizzy in the head and then it's seeming that I'm dreaming
I'm locked in your loving arms
Do you remember...
[ fiddle - mandolin - guitar ]
Every minute of the day...

JENNY DREAMED OF TRAINS
(Guy Clark - Vince Gill)
« © '92 Benefit Music, BMI »
When Jenny was a little girl she only dreamed of trains
She never play with dolls or lacy kinds of things
Jenny counted boxcars instead of counting sheep
She could go anywhere when she went to sleep
All she ever talked about was gettin' on the ride
She was living in another time you could see it in her eyes
And every day after school she'd head down to the track
She was waitin' for the train that was never coming back
Jenny dreamed of trains when the nighttime came
Nobody knew how she made it come true Jenny dreamed of trains
Depot's been boarded up the trains have turned to rust
There hasn't been a train through here since the mill went bust
No one believed her when she said she heard the train
She was just a little girl acting kind of strange
Jenny dreamed of trains...
[ guitar - fiddle ]
Jenny laid a penny on the track one day in God we trust and then she walked away
The very next morning all she could find
Was a little piece of copper squashed flatter than a dime
Jenny dreamed of trains...
Jenny dreamed of trains...

BRAND NEW TENNESSEE WALTZ
(Jesse Winchester)
« © '71 Fourth Floor Music »
Oh my you have a handsome face you favour a man that I know
I imagine that he's still in Tennessee I know I should be
there too I've a sadness too sad to be true
But I left Tennessee in a hurry dear the same way that I'm leaving you
Cause love is mainly just memories and everyone's got them a few
So when I leave I'll be glad to love you
At the brand new Tennessee waltz you're lit really waltzing on air
At the brand new Tennessee waltz there's no telling who will be there
When I leave it'll be like I found you love descending Victorian stairs
I'm feeling like one of your photographs I trapped while I'm putting on airs
And getting even by asking who cares
At the brand new Tennessee waltz...
So have all your passionate violins play a tune for a Tennessee Kid
Who's feeling like leaving another town with no place to go if she did
Cause they'll catch you wherever you're hid
At the brand new Tennessee waltz...
At the brand new Tennessee waltz...
There's no telling who will be there

PLEASE HELP ME I'M FALLING
(Don Robertson - Hal Blair)
« © '59 Don Robertson Music »
Please help me I'm falling in love with you
Close the door to temptation don't let me walk through
Turn away from me darling I'm begging you to
Please help me I'm falling in love with you
I belong to another whose arms have grown cold
But I promised forever to have and to hold
So I can never be free dear but when I'm with you
I know that I'm losing the strenght to be true
[ mandolin - fiddle ]
Please help me I'm falling and that would be sin
Close the door to temptation don't let me walk in
For I shouldn't want you but darling I do
Please help me I'm falling in love with you
Please help me I'm falling in love with you

(Traditional)
« © '55 copyright control »
Let it rain let it pour let it rain a whole lot more
Cause I got them deep river blues
Let the rain drive right on let the waves sweep along
Cause I got them deep river blues

Give me back my old boat I'm gonna sail if she'll float
Cause I got them deep river blues
I'm goin' back to Muscle Shoals times are better there I'm told
Cause I got them deep river blues
[ guitar - harmonica ]
Let it rain let it pour...
I got them deep river blues

STEEL RAIL BLUES
(Gordon Lightfoot)
« © '66 Early Morning Music, SESAC »
Well I got my mail late last night a letter from a boy who found the time to write
To his lonesome girl somewhere in the night
He sent me a railroad ticket too to take me to his lovin' arms
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
I been out here many long days I haven't found a place that I could call my own
Not a two bit bed to lay my body on
I been stood up I bin shook down I bin dragged into the sand
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
I been up tight most every night walkin' along the streets of this old town
Not a friend around to tell my troubles to
My good old car she done broke down cause I drove it into the ground
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
Well I look over yonder cross the plain
The big drive wheels a poundin' along the ground
Gonna get on board and I'll be homeward bound
Now I ain't had a home cooked meal and Lord I need one now
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
[ harmonica ]
Well I got my mail late last night...

BROKEN ARROW
(Robbie J. Robertson)
« © '92 Medicine Hat Music »
Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain
There he go moving across the water
There he go turning my whole world around
Do you feel what I feel can we make it so it's part of the deal
I gotta hold you in these arms of steel lay your heart on the line
I wanna breathe when you breathe
When you whisper like that hot summer breeze
Count the beads of sweat that cover me didn't you show me a sign
Who else is gonna bring you...
[ fiddle ]
Do you see what I see can you cut behind the mystery
I will meet you by the witness tree leave the whole world behind
I wanna come when you call I'll get to you if I have to crawl
They can't hold me with these iron walls we've got mountains to climb
Who else is gonna bring you...
Turning my whole world around turning my whole world around
[ fiddle - mandolin ]
