Ain't gonna marry in the fall
Ain't gonna marry in the spring For you're in love With a pretty little girl Who wears a diamond ring You're just a country boy Money have you none But you've got silver In the stars Gold in the morning sun Gold in the morning sun Never gonna kiss the ruby red lips Of the prettiest girl in town Never gonna ask her if she'll marry you She'd only turn you down You're just a country boy Money have you none But you've got silver In the stars Gold in the morning sun Gold in the morning sun Never could afford a store bought ring With a sparklin' diamond stone All you can afford is a loving heart The only one you own You're just a country boy Money have you none But you've got silver In the stars Gold in the morning sun Gold in the morning sun |

Little yellow house sittin' on a hill
That is where he lived That is where he died Every Sunday morning Hear the weeping willows cry Two children born A beautiful wife Four walls and livin's all he needed in life Always giving, never asking back I wish I had a simple love like that I want a simple love like that Always giving, never askin' back For when I'm in my final hour lookin' back I hope I had a simple love like that My momma was his only little girl If he'd had the money, he'd have given her the world Sittin' on the front porch together they would sing Oh how I longed to hear that harmony I want a simple love like that Always giving never asking back When I'm in my final hour looking back I hope I had a simple love like that I want a simple love like that Always giving never asking back When I'm in my final hour looking back I hope I had a simple love like that |

In the spring of 1856, with the snow still on the ground,
Two little boys were lost in the mountains above the town. The father went out hunting; the boys had stayed behind. While mother tended to her chores, they wandered from her side. The two had gone to follow him and lost their way instead. By dusk the boys had not been found and fear had turned to dread. Two hundred men had gathered there to comb the mountainside. The fires were built on the highest peak in hopes they'd see the light. Oh mommy and daddy, why can't you hear our cries? The day is almost over - soon it will be night. We're so cold and hungry and our feet are tired and sore We promise not to stray again from our cabin door. Now Jacob Dibert woke one night from a strange and eerie dream. He saw a path between two hills near a dark and swollen stream. He told his wife he saw the boys huddled close beside a log. For two more nights, the dream returned - this vision sent from God. Oh mommy and daddy, why can't you hear our cries? The day is almost over - soon it will be night. We're so cold and hungry and our feet are tired and sore We promise not to stray again from our cabin door. A thousand men had searched in vain the west side of Bob's Creek. But Jacob's wife knew of this place and said to travel east. With a guide to take him there, Jacob came upon the scene. And found the boys cold and still, beneath the old birch tree. Oh mommy and daddy, look past the tears you cry We're both up in heaven now; God is by our side. As you lay us down to rest in the presence of the Lord, Know that we will meet you here at heaven's door. Oh mommy and daddy, look past the tears you cry We're both up in heaven now; God is by our side. And as you lay us down to rest in the presence of the Lord, Know that we will meet you here at heaven's door. |

Baby dry your eyes
There's no need to cry Cause I'll see you again It might be a while Before you understand I'm just away down the river A hundred miles or more Crossing over Jordan To the other shore I'll be standing waiting With all who've gone before I'm just away down the river A hundred miles or more Now the pictures on the wall Will help you to recall They're not there To make you sad But to remember All the good times we had I'm just away down the river A hundred miles or more Crossing over Jordan To the other shore I'll be standing waiting With all who've gone before I'm just away down the river A hundred miles or more When it's time to leave You're gonna feel the mountain breeze And the snow will fill the stream And carry you to me I'm just away down the river A hundred miles or more Crossing over Jordan To the other shore I'll be standing waiting With all who've gone before I'm just away down the river A hundred miles or more [Chorus] |

Way back in the mountains
Way back in the hills There used to live a mountaineer They called him Fiddlin' Will He could play most anything And some say he could sing But the one thing that he liked to do best Was sawing on the strings So get out the fiddle And rosin up the bow Look at ol' Will a pattin' his toe We'll make music til the rafters ring All that pickin' and a sawin on the strings When the neighbors had a shindig And they all had vittles to eat We'd always have to wait on Will For the frolic to be complete When he comes down from the mountain All the gals began to sway Sometimes he'd pick that ol' 5-string Until the break of day So tune up the 5-string Tighten up the hide Tell all the young folks to get inside We'll make music til the rafters ring All them pickin' and a sawing on the string So tune up the 5-string Tighten up the hide Tell all the young folks to get inside We'll make music til the rafters ring All them pickin' and a sawing on the string |

Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, Dry your eyes Rest your head close to my heart Never to part, baby of mine Little one, when you play Don't you mind what they say Let those eyes sparkle and shine Never a tear, baby of mine If they knew sweet little you They'd end up loving you too All those same people who scold you What they'd give just for the right to hold you From your head down to your toes You're not much, goodness knows But you're so precious to me Sweet as can be, baby of mine All of those people who scold you What they'd give just for the Right to hold you From your head down to your toes You're not much, goodness knows But you're so precious to me Sweet as can be, baby of mine Baby of mine |

Come all ye young fellas
That handle a gun Beware of night rambling By the setting of the sun And beware of an accident That happened of late To young Molly Ban And sad was her fate She was going to her uncles When a shower came on She went under a green bush The shower to shun Her white apron wrapped around her He took her for a swan But a hush and sigh Was his own Molly Ban He quickly ran to her And found she was dead And there on her bosom Where he soaked, tears he shed He ran home to his father With his gun in his hand Saying "Father dear father I have shot Molly Ban" Her white apron wrapped around her He took her for a swan But a hush and a sigh 'Twas his own Molly Ban He roamed near the place Where his true love was slain He wept bitter tears But his cries were in vain As he look on the lake A swan glided by And the sun slowly sank In the gray up sky |

(James Taylor & Alison Krauss)
I've had nothing but sorrow Since you said we were through There's no hope for tomorrow How's the world treating you Every sweet thing that matters Has been broken in two All my dreams have been shattered How's the world treating you Got no plans for next Sunday Got no plans for today Every day is blue Monday Every day you're away Tho' our pathways have parted To your memory I'm true Guess I'll stay broken hearted How's the world treating you Do you wonder about me Like I'm hoping you do Are you lonesome without me Have you found someone new Are you burning and yearning Do you ever get blue Do you think of returning How's the world treating you |

Well, I recall his parting words
Must I accept his fate? Or take myself far from this place I thought I heard a black bell toll A little bird did sing Man has no choice when he wants everything We'll rise above the scarlet tide That trickles down through the mountain And separates the widow from the bride Man goes beyond his own decision Gets caught up in the mechanism Of swindlers who act like kings And brokers who break everything The dark of night was swiftly fading Close to the dawn of day Why would I want him just to lose him again? We'll rise above the scarlet tide That trickles down through the mountain And separates the widow from the bride We'll rise above the scarlet tide That trickles down through the mountain And separates the widow from the bride |

You'll walk unscathed through musket fire,
No ploughman's blade will cut thee down, No cutlass wound will mark thy face And you will be my ain true love, And you will be my ain true love. And as you walk through death's dark veil, The cannons' thunder can't prevail, And those who hunt thee down will fail, And you will be my ain true love, And you will be my ain true love. Asleep inside the cannon's mouth, The captain cries, "Here comes the rout!" They'll seek to bind me North and South, I've gone to find my ain true love. The field is cut and bleeds to red. The cannon balls fly round my head, The infirmary man may count me dead, When I've gone to find my ain true love, I've gone to find my ain true love. |

The wind is blowing down the quiet river,
a shining road that carries you alone. Baby boy my love will last forever. If you're to live, I must give you up to God. I know our God will guide, protect and keep you. Teach you faith and hold you by the heart. Though your mother's heart is broken by your leaving, her Father knows just who he is and who you are. I wish that life wasn't always ending up this way, with Heaven's love at stake and hell to pay. But you in God's loving plan might be the missing part. You must live. So I give you to his heart. The wind, it blows you down the silent river, a shining road that leaves me all alone. A life for you's worth losing you forever. Some day we'll stand in God's fair land, forever home. I wish that life wasn't always ending up this way, with Heaven's love at stake and hell to pay. But you in God's loving plan might be the missing part. You must live. So I give you to his heart. I wish that life wasn't always ending up this way, with Heaven's love at stake and hell to pay. But you in God's loving plan might be the missing part. You must live. So I give you to his heart. |

How pale is the sky that brings forth the rain
As the changing of seasons prepares me again For the long bitter nights and the wild winter's day My heart has grown cold my love stored away My heart has grown cold my love stored away. I've been to the mountain left my tracks in the snow Where souls have been lost and the walking wounded go I've taken the pain no girl should endure But faith can move mountains Faith can move mountains of that I am sure. Just get me through December A promise I'll remember Get me through December So I can start again. No divine purpose brings freedom from sin And peace is a gift that must come from within I've looked for the love that will bring me to rest Feeding this hunger beating strong in my chest Feeding this hunger beating strong in my chest Get me through December A promise I'll remember Get me through December So I can start again. I've been to the mountain left my tracks in the snow Where souls have been lost and the walking wounded go I've taken the pain no girl should endure But faith can move mountains But faith can move mountains of that I am sure. |

Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath And I'm still standing here And you're miles away And I'm wondering why you left And there's a storm that's raging Through my frozen heart tonight I hear your name in certain circles And it always makes me smile I spend my time Thinking about you And it's almost driving me wild And there's a heart that's breaking Down this long distance line tonight I ain't missing you at all Since you've been gone Away I ain't missing you No matter What I might say There's a message In the wire And I'm sending you this signal tonight You don't know How desperate I've become And it looks like I'm losing this fight In your world I have no meaning Though I'm trying hard to understand And it's my heart that's breaking Down this long distance line tonight I ain't missing you at all Since you've been gone Away I ain't missing you No matter What my friends say And there's a message that I'm sending out Like a telegraph to your soul And if I can't bridge this distance Stop this heartbreak overload I ain't missing you at all Since you've been gone Away I ain't missing you No matter What my friends say I ain't missing you I ain't missing you I keep lying to myself And there's a storm that's raging Through my frozen heart tonight I ain't missing you at all Since you've been gone Away I ain't missing you No matter What my friends say Ain't missing you I ain't missing you I ain't missing you I keep lying to myself Ain't missing you I ain't missing you I ain't missing you I ain't missing you I ain't missing you I ain't missing you Ain't missing you Oh no No matter what my friends might say I ain't missing you |
