I met my darlin' in the springtime When all the flowers were in bloom And like the flowers our love blossomed We married in the month of June Our love was like a burning ember It warmed us as a golden glow We had sunshine in December And threw our roses in the snow Now God has taken my darlin' And left me with a memory A memory I will always cherish Are these last words he said to me Our love was like a burning ember It warmed us as a golden glow We had sunshine in December And threw our roses in the snow My darlin's buried on the hillside Where all the wild spring flowers grow And when winter snows start fallin' On his grave I'll place a rose Our love was like a burning ember It warmed us as cold winds blow We had sunshine in December And threw our roses in the snow |

I am a poor wayfaring stranger While traveling thru this world of woe Yet there's no sickness, toil or danger In that bright world yo which I go I'm going there to see my father I'm going there no more to ram I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going over home I know dark clouds will gather around me I know my way is rough and steep Yet beauteous fields lie just before me Where God's redeemed their vigils keep I'm going there to my mother She said she'd meet me when I come I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going over me |

Troubles and trials often betray those
On in the weary body to stray But we shall walk beside the still waters With the Good Sheperd leading The Way Those who have strayed were sought by Yhe Master He who once gave His life for the sheep Out on the mountain still He is searching Bringing them in forever to kep Going up home to live in green pastures Where we shall live and die never more Even The Lord will be in that number When we shall reach that Heavenly Shore We will not heed the voice of the strainger For he would lead us to despair Following on with Jesus our savior We shall all reach that country so fair Going up home to live in green pastures Where we shall live and die never more Even The Lord will be in that number When we shall reach that Heavenly Shore |

(Paul Simon)
I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told I have squandered my existence On a pocket full of mumbles such are promises All lies in jest, till a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest Well I left my home and family I was no more than a boy In the company of strangers In the quiet of the railway station runnin' scared Layin' low seeking out the poor quarters Where the ragged people go, looking for the places Only they would know Li Li Li [etc.] Only seeking workman's wages I come looking for a job But I get no offers Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there In a-laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was home Going home Where the New York City winters aren't a-bleding me Bleeding me Going home Da Da Da [etc.] In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade And he carries the reminders Of every bloke that laid him down or cleft him Till he cried out in his anger and his shame I am leaving, I am leaving But the fighter still remains Li Li Li [etc.] |

Don't think that I'll be hangin' 'round While you're havin' fun I won't sit there cryin' over you Well from now on when you step out I'll tell you what I'll do I'll lock the door, put out the cat And I'll go steppin' too Yes I'll go steppin' too, my honey I'll go steppin' too I'll lock the door, put out the cat And I'll go steppin' too Now everytime you come in late and we begin to fight You tell me there are more fish in the sea But the bait ain't what it used to be And I got news for you Now after this when you go out Well I'll go steppin' too Yes I'll go steppin' too, my honey I'll go steppin' too I'll lock the door, put out the cat And I'll go steppin' too >From now on when you come in And won't tell where you been With your hair messed up And your clothes don't fit you right Well I don't care if I find perfume on you too Well you will know that I have been Steppin' just like you Yes I'll go steppin' too, my honey I'll go steppin' too I'll lock the door, put out the cat And I'll go steppin' too |

You are learning what it's like to sit and cry And wonder why your plans went wrong You are learning how it feels when pain is real To realize you're all alone Yes you're learning We had the chance to be happy Nothing stood in our way If only you'd meant what you promised We wouldn't crying today You are learning that a lie can make you cry For the truth your heart reveals You are learning that a flirt can cause a hurt Even though your love is real Yes you're learning We had the chance to be happy Nothing stood in our way If only you'd meant what you promised We wouldn't crying today You are learning that a lie can make you cry For the truth your heart reveals You are learning that a flirt can cause a hurt Even though your love is real Yes you're learning Yes you're learning |

Come in as you tread life's journey Take Jesus as your daily guide Tho you may feel pure and safely Without Him walking by your side But when you come to make the crossing At the ending of your pilgrim's way If you ever will meet our Savior You'll surely meet Him on that day Now look at that cold Jordan Look at these deep waters Look at that wide river Oh hear the mighty billows roar You'd beter take Jesus with you He's a true companion For I'm sure without Him That you never will make it o'er That awful Day of Judgment Is coming in the by and by We'll se our Lord descending In Glory from on high So let us kep in touch with Jesus And in his grace the Love of God That we may be ever called ready When He calss us over Jordan's Tide Now look at that cold Jordan Look at these deep waters Look at that wide river Oh hear the mighty billows roar You'd beter take Jesus with you He's a true companion For I'm sure without Him That you never will make it o'er Oh what, what you gonna do Oh what, what you gonna do Oh how, how you gonna feel When you come to the end of the Way |

I'm growing tired on the big city lights Tired of the glamour and tired of the sights In all my dreams I am roaming once more Back to my home on the old river shore I am sad and weary, far away from home Miss the Mississippi and you Days are dark and dreary Everywhere I go Miss the Mississippi and you Roaming the wide world over Always along and blue Nothing seems to cher me under heaven's door Miss the Mississppi and you I'm growing tired on the big city lights Tired of the glamour and tired of the sights In all my dreams I am roaming once more Back to my home on the old river shore I am sad and weary, far away from home Miss the Mississippi and you Days are dark and dreary Everywhere I go Miss the Mississippi and you |

Oh I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain, love And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring I will pawn you this heart in my bosom Only say that you'll love me again Darling, how could I stay here without you I have nothing to ease my poor heart This old world would seem sad, love, without you Tell me now that we never will part Oh I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain, love And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring I will pawn you this heart in my bosom Only say that you'll love me again Take back all the gifts you have given A diamond ring and a lock of your hair And a card with your picture upon it It's a face that is false but is fair Oh I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain, love And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring I will pawn you this heart in my bosom Only say that you'll love me again Oh, the white rose that blooms in the garden It grows with the love of my heart It broke through on the day that I met you It will die on the day that we part Oh I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain, love And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring I will pawn you this heart in my bosom Only say that you'll love me again |
