the promise she made me about three weeks ago
she promises she would marry me
standing in her parlor door
i'll walk up on the mountain and put me up a still
i'll make you one gallon for a two dollar bill
i go to the grocery and drink to my friends
no woman to follow me to see what I spend
I oft times have wondered how women love men
many a time i've studied how men do love them
come on all you pretty women and stand in a row
you lookin' so sadly, you're lonesome i know, i know...
you've caused me to see trouble and many a downfall
if you want to live happy don't marry at all
(i'm just a)mooonshiiiinnneeerrrrrrr!

i was standing by my window one cold December day
when I saw that hearse come rolling for to carry my mother away
will the circle be unbroken?
by and by, by and by
there's a better home a waitin
in the sky, lord, in the sky
when i said to the undertaker, undertaker please drive slow
for this lady you are haulin' lord i hate to see her go
will the circle be unbroken?
by and by, by and by
there's a better home a waitin
in the sky, lord, in the sky
lord i followed long behind her till we come to the family grave
but i could not hide my sorrow when they laid her in the grave
will the circle be unbroken?
by and by, by and by
there's a better home a waitin
in the sky, lord, in the sky
went back home and home was lonesome, oh yes my mother she was gone
brothers and sisters all were cryin', oh what a home so sad and lone
will the circle be unbroken?
by and by, by and by
there's a better home a waitin
in the sky, lord, in the sky
one by one our family is leaving, one by one they're gone away
but someday i hope to meet them in that coming judgement day

Willow Garden

down by the willow garden
where me and my true did meet
we sat there a-courtin'
my true love fell off to sleep
i had a bottle of that burglar wine
in which i did not know
that that there'd i'd murder my own true love
down on the banks so cold
as i drew a dagger to her
which was a bloody knife
down by the willow garden
i took that poor girl's life
my father always told me
that money would set me free
if i would murder that pretty little girl
her name, Rose Anna Lee
and now he's standing in his cabin door
with teardrops in his eyes
looking on his only son
upon the scaffold high
my work is done beneath the sun
and hell is waiting for me
because i murdered that pretty little girl
her name, Rose Anna Lee

Old Dan Tucker

clear the way for old dan tucker
you've come too late for to get your supper
old dan tucker he got drunk
fell in the fur' and kicked up a chunk
a red hot coal hopped in his shoe
good god a'mighty how the ashes flew
get out of the way for old dan tucker
you've come too late for to get your supper
old dan tucker climb a tree
the lord did save for him to see
the limb did break, he did fall
killed ol' Callie with a buck eyed ball
clear the way for old dan tucker
you've come too late for to get your supper
old dan tucker was a fine old man
swapped his wife to a bob-tailed ram
rode him over a big high cliff
she ain't got up, been laying there yet
get out of the way for old dan tucker
you've come too late for to get your supper
old dan tucker he went to town
swallowed a barrel of molasses down
the hoops did swell and the barrel did bust
sent him to hell in a thunder-glust
get out of the way it's the old dan tucker
you've come too late for to get your supper
old dan tucker went out a-huntin'
the first thing he spied was a big boar a-rootin'
his back was bent and his tail was a-shakin'
he cocked his gun and he saved his bacon
clear the way it's the old dan tucker
you've come too late for to get your supper
old dan tucker was a fine old man
he washed his face in a fryin' pan
combed his hair with a wagon wheel
and he died with a toothache in his heel
clear the way for old dan tucker
you've come too late for to get your supper

Those Brown Eyes
04:37
|
|||
one evening when the sun was low
brown eyes whispered i must go
not one moment would she wait
she kissed my cheek, she left the gate
it's those brown eyes i love so well
it's those brown eyes i'm longin' to see
how i sighed for those brown eyes
strangers they have come to be
one night we met upon the street
i tipped my hat, but i could not speak
with another man by her side
the man i thought would take his bride
it's those brown eyes i love so well
it's those brown eyes i'm longin' to see
how i sighed for those brown eyes
strangers they have come to be
one year ago just from today
they laid my darling brown eyes away
now up in heaven i know she be
my brown eyed angel waiting for me
it's those brown eyes i love so well
it's those brown eyes i'm longin' to see
how i sighed for those brown eyes
strangers they have come to be

Cock Robin

who killed cock robin?
me said the 'spur, with my little bow and 'arr
it was me, it was I
who seen him die?
me said the fly, with my little yeller eye
it was me, it was I
who called his blood?
me said the fish, with my little silver dish
it was me, it was I
who dug his grave?
me said the crow, with my little spade and hoe
it was me, it was I
who hauled him off?
me said the lark, with my little hoss and cart
it was me, it was I
who covered him up?
me said the duck, with my little flatter foot
it was me, it was I
who preached his funeral?
me said the 'swaller, dist loud as I could holler
it was me, it was I

Jack Was a Lonely Cowboy
04:34
|

jack was a lonely cowboy with a heart so brave and true
he learned to love a maiden with eyes of heaven's own blue
they learned love to each other and named the wedding day
when a quarrel came out between them, and jack he rolled away
he joined a band of cowboys just to try to forget her name
but out on the lone prairie she waits for him the same
your sweetheart waits for you, jack, your sweetheart's waiting for you
but out on the lone prairie your sweetheart's waiting for you
jack reached the lone prairie, he found a new made mound
his friends so sadly told him they laid his loved one down
your sweetheart waits for you jack, your sweetheart's waiting for you
out on the lone prairie where the sky is always blue
