1. BLUE MOON OF KENTUCKY

Blue moon
Blue moon
Blue moon, keep shining bright
Blue moon, keep on shining bright

You're gonna bring me back my baby tonight
Blue moon, keep shining bright

I said blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
I said blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

Well it was on a moonlit nigh, stars shining bright
Whisper on high, love said goodbye
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue


2. TENNESSEE WALTZ

I was waltzing with my darling to the tennessee waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
Introduced him to my loved one
And while they were dancing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me

I remember the night and the tennessee waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darling the night they were playing
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz


3. BLACK COFFEE

I'm feeling mighty lonesome
Haven't slept a wink
I walk the floor and watch the door
And in between I drink

Black coffee
Love's a hand-me-down brew
I'll never know a Sunday in this weekday room

I'm talking to the shadows
One o'clock to four
And, Lord, how slow the moments go
When all I do is pour

Black coffee
Since the blues caught my eye

I'm hanging out on Monday
My Sunday dream's too dry

Now a man is born to go a-lovin'
A woman's born to weep and fret
To stay at home and tend her oven
And drown her past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes

I'm moody all the morning
And I'm mourning all the night
And in between it's nicotine
And not much heart to fight

Black coffee
Feeling low as the ground
It's driving me crazy
This waiting for my baby
To maybe come around


4. STORMY WEATHER

Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
I just can't get my poor self together
So weary all the time

Since he went away the blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rockin' chair's gonna get me
All I do is pray the Lord above will let me walk in the sun once more

I can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time

Since he went away the blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rockin' chair's gonna get me
All I do is pray the Lord above will let me walk in the sun once more

I can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all the time


5. OH BURY ME NOT

Oh bury me not on the lone prairie
Where the wild coyotes will howl over me
Where the rattlesnakes hiss and the wind blows free
Oh bury me not on the lone prairie

They heeded not his dying prayer and they buried him there, on the lone prairie

In a little box just six by three, his bones now rot on the lone prairie


6. JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE

Just a closer walk with thee
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea
Daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be

I am weak and Thou art strong
Jesus keep me from all wrong
I'll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to thee

Just a closer walk with thee
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea
Daily walking close to thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be

Through this world of toil and snare
If I falter Lord who cares
Who will be my burdens shares
None but Thee dear Lord none but thee

Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea
Grant it, Jesus, Grant it, Jesus
Daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be


7. SHINE ON HARVEST MOON

The night was mighty dark so you could hardly see
For the moon refused to shine
Couple sitting underneath the willow tree
For love, they pined

Little May was kinda 'fraid of darkness
So she says "I guess I'll go."
Boy began to sigh, looked up to the sky
Told the sky his little tale of woe

So shine on
Shine on harvest moon
Up in the sky

I ain't had no lovin' since january, february, june or july
No time ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon
So shine on
Shine on harvest moon for me and my gal

No time ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon
So shine on
Shine on harvest moon for me and my gal


8. TROUBLE IN THE FIELDS

Baby, I know that we got trouble in the fields
And the bankers swarm like locusts out there, turning away our yields
And the trains roll by our silo, silver in the rain
Leave our pockets full of nothing but these dreams in the golden grain

I can see the folks lined up downtown at the station
They're all buying their tickets out and they're talking a great depression
Our parents had their hard times fifty years ago
When they stood out in these empty fields, in dust as deep as snow

And all this trouble in our fields
If this rain can fall these wounds can heal
They'll never take our native soil
And if we sell that new John Deere then we'll work these crops with sweat and tears

You'll be the mule, I'll be the plow
Come harvest time, we'll work it out
There's still a lot of love here in these troubled fields

There's a book up on the shelf about the dust bowl days
There's a little bit of you and a little bit of me in the photos on every page
Our children live in the city and they rest upon our shoulders
They don't want the rain to fall or the weather to get colder

And all this trouble in our fields
If this rain can fall these wounds can heal
They'll never take our native soil
And if we sell that new John Deere and then we'll work these crops with sweat and tears
You'll be the mule, I’ll be the plow
Come harvest time we'll work it out
There's still a lot of love here in these troubled fields

You'll be the mule, I'll be the plow
Come harvest time we'll work it out
There's still a lot of love here in these troubled fields


9. YOUR CHEATIN HEART

Your cheatin' heart
Will make you weep
You'll cry and cry and try to sleep
But sleep won't come the whole night through
Your cheatin' heart
Will tell on you

When tears come down like falling rain
You'll toss around and call my name
You'll walk the floor the way I do
Your cheatin' heart
Will tell on you

Your cheatin' heart
Will pine someday
You'll crave the love you threw away
The time will come when you'll be blue
Your cheatin' heart
Will tell on you

When tears come down like falling rain
You'll toss around and call my name
You'll walk the floor the way I do
Your cheatin' heart
Will tell on you


10. SUMMERTIME

Summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping and the cotton is high
Oh, your Daddy's rich and your Momma's good looking
So hush, little baby, don't you cry

One of these mornings, you're gonna rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings and you'll take the sky
But till that morning there's nothing can harm you
With Daddy and Mommy standing by


11. SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY

Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna take a sentimental journey
To renew old memories

Get a bag, I got my reservation
Spent each dime I could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
Long to hear that "All aboard!"

Seven, that's the time we leave, at seven
I'll be waiting up for heaven
Counting every mile of railroad track that takes me back
Never thought my heart could be so yearning

Why did I decide to roam
Gotta take a sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home
You Were Here


12. O, MY BELOVED FATHER

(Instrumental)
