Well there's a dark and a troubled side of life.
There's a bright and a sunny side too. But if you meet with the darkness and strife, The sunny side we also may view. Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side, Keep on the sunny side of life. It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way, If we keep on the sunny side of life. Oh, the storm and its fury broke today, Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear. Clouds and storms will in time pass away. The sun again will shine bright and clear. Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side, Keep on the sunny side of life. It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way, If we'll keep on the sunny side of life. Let us greet with a song of hope each day. Though the moments be cloudy or fair. Let us trust in our Saviour always, To keep us, every one, in His care. Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side, Keep on the sunny side of life. It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way, If we'll keep on the sunny side of life. If we'll keep on the sunny side of life |

Come all ye fair and tender ladies
Take warning how you court your men They're like a star on a summer morning They first appear and then they're gone They'll tell to you some loving story And they make you think that they love you well And away they'll go and court some other And leave you there in grief to dwell I wish I was on some tall mountain Where the Ivy rock is black as ink I'd write a letter to my false true lover Whose cheeks are like the morning pink Oh, love is handsome, love is charming And love is pretty while it's new But love grows cold as love grows older And fades away like morning dew And fades away like morning dew |

Oh, a strange, strange woman, don't trust 'em from the start
Or a strange, strange woman will try to break your heart Now woman don't feel sad, don't you pity me I'll be on my feet when you're crawling on your knees I'll bear the cross of my broken home But strange, strange woman, can you bear yours alone? Oh, a strange, strange woman, don't trust 'em from the start Or a strange, strange woman will try to break your heart Now he won't marry you and even if he did How could you be happy with all the things you've hid? A love without hope based on a cheating lie Will soon melt away and wither up and die Oh, a strange, strange woman, don't trust 'em from the start Or a strange, strange woman will try to break your heart Oh, a strange, strange woman, will surely break your heart |

One, two, three
Two lovers stood in the white, white sand Dark-eyed maiden and her tall lover man With surprise and pain in her eyes Clung to the hand of her tall lover man "They're lyin' to me, aren't they, Jim?", she asked him "That fair-haired girl with those blue, blue eyes Is not your wife, is she Jim?" And with tears in her eyes and her sad, sad cries She clung to the hand of her tall lover man In the darkness, he let go off her hand "I'm not to blame, it was a game 'Cause that fair-haired woman is my wife And she will be all of my life" "You're lyin' to me, aren't you Jim?", she asked him "If lovin' me was a sport, then your life will be short" She said to him, "My Jim" And the blade of the maid struck the man And the blood flowed in the sand from her tall lover man Two lovers lyin' in the white, white sand "I'll die with you, my tall lover man" And her blade found its mark in the dark She clung to the hand of her tall lover man "They're lyin' to me, aren't they, Jim?", she asked him "That fair-haired girl, those blue, blue eyes Won't be your wife, my Jim" With tears in her eyes and sad, sad cries She died in the sand with her tall lover man |

The tears in my eyes have a home till I cry
And then they have a cheek to fall back on The birds in the sky have a mate until it's time to die But I don't have a love to call my own Lovebirds come in pairs, they have someone who cares And that's one thing that I have never known They heather love within for shelter from the winter wind And me, without a love, not a single solitary love And me, without a love to call my own Lovebirds come in pairs, they have someone who cares And that's one thing that I have never known They heather love within for shelter from the winter's wind And me, without a love, not a single solitary love And me, without a love to call my own |

Love is a burnin' thing
And it makes a fiery ring Bound by wild desire I fell into a ring of fire I fell into a burnin' ring of fire I went down, down, down And the flames went higher And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire, the ring of fire (Instrumental Interlude) I fell into a burnin' ring of fire I went down, down, down And the flames went higher And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire, the ring of fire The taste of love is sweet When hearts like ours meet I fell for you like a child Oh, but the fire went wild I fell into a burnin' ring of fire I went down, down, down And the flames went higher And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire, the ring of fire And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire, the ring of fire |

Free love is the goin' thing
So I took off my wedding ring And embarked on my final fling Of losin' you Borrowed love is awful cheap He was fun but I can't sleep I toss and turn and then I weep I'm losin' you But I'd like to take that man I made And choke him on the bed we laid 'Cause he ain't worth the price I paid of losin you I searched my heart to see if I Could catch you in a little lie And in some way justify Losin' you I thought love grew weak with age Oh ho, how I misread the gage You wrote the book, I turned the page And I'm losin' you But I'd like to take that man I made And choke him on the bed we laid 'Cause he ain't worth the price I paid Of losin you Free love is the goin' thing So I took off my wedding ring And embarked on my final fling Of losin' you Borrowed love is awful cheap He was fun but I can't sleep I toss and turn and then I weep I'm losin' you But I'd like to take that man I made And choke him on the bed we laid 'Cause he ain't worth the price I paid Of losin you He ain't worth the price I paid of losin' you |

I got tired of New York City, of its sidewalks and its heat
So I got myself a great big horse and I rode him down the street And then I hollered, hi, ho, Silver and, get 'em up, Scout But I suffered aggravation and a great humiliation So I finally said I'd let the story out You can't ride a big white horse into the front of Gatsby's door You can't call out, hi, ho, Silver as you scoot across the floor Twenty big Italians had me bent down on my knees And I cried, oh, ouch, help Lord, and Mama mia, please Well, he broke into a cantor down around ol' Times Square And my cowboy boots and hat, I left them somewhere way back there Then he stomped and reared and turned and bucked and took off to the South And I slid through Gatsby's Restaurant with his tail stuck in my mouth. But you can't ride a big white horse into the front of Gatsby's door You don't call out, hi, ho, Silver as you scoot across the floor Twenty big Italians had me bent down on my knees And I cried, oh, ouch, help Lord, and Mama mia, please Now, down at Gatsby's Restaurant, there's a picture hanging there Of a petrified Italian with escargot in his hair And there's a big, white horse rug lying by the door And I'm washing dishes in the back and sweepin' up the floor But you don't ride a big, white horse into the front of Gatsby's door You don't call out, hi, ho, Silver as you scoot across the floor Twenty big Italians had me bent down on my knees And I cried, oh, ouch, help Lord, and Mama mia, please |

Now I'll tell you in Chicago boys, I was broken man
Dirty movies, credit cards and bills past due again And that son of mine spit in my face and then I tanned his eye He got a taste of Appalachian pride That sassy son of mine, he was more than I could take I loaded wife and kids and dogs and then I pulled up stakes Back home here in the old home 'stead I've kept him by my side And filled him with my Appalachian pride We're praising God in everything we do Thankful we had this to come back to We don't have much money, but we're dignified And happy in our Appalachian pride There's hell mud in the smoke house, some flower in the ban Molasis, cans and beans until crop comes in The kids back in that bedroom, they finally understand The pride of an Appalachian man Now we don't live on welfare, we don't need the checks no more We got sick of bill collectors a-banging on the door We'll break our backs from dusk till dawn and God is on our side And we'll make it just on Appalachian pride We're praising God in everything we do Thankful we had this to come back to We don't have much money, but we're dignified And happy in our Appalachian pride |

Where he sat waiting in the night And her hands trembled on her Bible As she held on firmly to the right Oh, you're beggin' me to go out drinkin' But drinkin' only adds to my pain I love you sweetheart, I love you But we won't ever meet again Oh, I love you sweetheart, I love you And your tears keep addin' to my pain I love you sweetheart, I love you But we won't ever meet again Oh, my heart is almost broken And then she let go of his hand I love you sweetheart, I love you But we won't ever meet again You've been in the arms of another And one who says she is my friend You've kissed her and held her and loved her And taken her places that we've been Oh, my heart is almost broken And then she let go of his hand I love you sweetheart, I love you But we won't ever meet again Oh, I love you sweetheart, I love you But drinkin' only adds to my pain I love you sweetheart, I love you But we won't ever meet again Oh, my heart is almost broken And your tears only add to my pain I love you sweetheart, I love you But we won't ever meet again |
