Up Above My Head

Rosetta Tharpe

© Princess Music, ASCAP

Up above my head I see trouble in the air
Up above my head I see trouble in the air
Up above my head I see trouble in the air
There must be a God somewhere

Up above my head I hear music in the air
Up above my head I hear music in the air
Up above my head I hear music in the air
There must be a God somewhere

My Native Home

A.P. Carter

© Peer Int, BMI

I'd like to see my native home
The lofty trees and golden sand
The rugged mountains crowded round
My mother's voice how sweet would sound

Sometimes I dream of home and friends
My dreams are false my heart's with them
And when I wake I'm alone
My dreams are false my friends are gone
[ instrumental ]
It fills my heart with fondest love
To listen to that lonesome dove
She mourns as if her maid was gone
As if like me left all alone

I'd like to see my heart's delight
Her beautiful face and eyes so bright
And how she'd smile as I drew near
I kiss her with the falling tears
[ instrumental ]
Nine or ten years have past and gone
And I'm still left here all alone
Searching of my native home
Among your hills I loved to roam

Baby Blue Eyes

Jim Eanes

© Atlantic Music, BMI

I wonder if I'll ever forget you
And if our love that's true ever dies
I can't forget the kisses you gave me
Or mem'ries of your two baby blue eyes

I'll always keep a mem'ry of you
Visions of eyes as blue as the sky
And that's why each night there's tears on my pillow
I'm dreamin' of your two baby blue eyes
[ instrumental ]
Now day after day I try to keep smilin'
While a broken heart I try to disguise
Night after night my lonely heart's callin'
It's callin' in vain for baby blue eyes

I'll always keep a mem'ry of you...
[ instrumental ]
Now when day is done and shadows are fallen
My love will sleep till mornin' sunrise
I lay awake tossin' and turnin'
I'm longin' for dreams of baby blue eyes

I'll always keep a mem'ry of you...
[ fiddle ]
I'll always keep a mem'ry of you...

Endless Sleep

Judy Reynolds - Dolores Nance

© Elizabeth Music, BMI

The night was dark rain fallin' down
Look for my baby she's nowhere around
Traced her footsteps down to the see
Afraid she's gone away from me

Well I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
I took your baby from you away
I heard a voice cryin' in deep
Come join me baby in my endless sleep
[ instrumental ]
Why did we quarrel why did we fight
Why did I leave her alone tonight
That's why her footsteps ran into the sea
That's why my baby has gone from me

Well I looked at the sea and it seemed to say...
[ instrumental ]
Ran to the water heart full of fear
There in the breakers I saw her near
Reached for my baby I held her to me
Stole her away from the angry sea

Well I looked at the sea and it seemed to say...

The Brand New Tennessee Waltz

Jesse Winchester

© 4th Floor Music, ASCAP

Oh you have a pretty face
You favour a girl that I know
I imagine that she's in Tennessee
I wish I could be there too

I left Tennessee in a hurry dear
The same way I'm leavin' you
For love is mainly memories
And everyone's got 'em a few

It's a brand new Tennessee waltz
You're bitterly waltzin' on air
It's a brand new Tennessee waltz
There's no tellin' who will be there
[ instrumental ]
When I leave it'll be like I found you dear
Descending Victorian stairs
I'm feelin' like one of your photographs
With not even your love to care

Have all of your passionate violins play
A tune for a Tennessee kid
Who's thinkin' of leavin' another town
With no place to go if he did

It's a brand new Tennessee waltz...
[ instrumental ]
It's a brand new Tennessee waltz...

Blue And Lonesome

Bill Monroe

© Bill Monroe Music, BMI

The lonesome sound of a train goin' by
Makes me wanna stop and cry
I recall the day he took you away
I'm blue I'm lonesome too

When I hear that whistle blow
I wanna pack my suitcase and go
The lonesome sound of a train goin' by
Makes me wanna stop and cry
[ banjo - mandolin ]
In the still of the night in the pale moonlight
The wind it moans and sighs
These awful blues I just can't lose
I'm blue I'm lonesome too

When I hear that whistle blow...
[ mandolin - banjo ]
When I hear that lonesome whistle blow...
I'm blue I'm lonesome too
