I was a rover, on land and on sea
'Til a good woman's love made a new man of me
Life had no meaning, it was so incomplete
'Til a good woman's love put me back on my feet

Still a-roamin' I go home in the evening
And she's waiting there
And I know that no matter what hap

Chorus:
All the good times are passed and gone
All the good times are o'er
All the good times are passed and gone
Little darling don't you weep no more.

I wish to the Lord I'd never been born
Or died when I was young
I never would have seen your sparkling blue eyes

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry,
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River.
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die.

I met her accidentally in St. Paul (Minnesota).
And

Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and proved untrue
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

It was on a moonlight night
The stars were shining bright
When they whispered from on high
Your

Blue night I got you on my mind
Blue night I can't keep from crying
You met someone that was new
You quit someone that you knew was true
Blue night I got you on my mind

Blue night blue as I can be
I don't know what'll become of me
Where we used to walk I walk alone<

When I was young in my prime
I left my home in Caroline
Now all I do is sit and pine
For all the folks I left behind
I've got those blue ridge mountain blues
And I stand right theere to say
My grip is packed to travel
And I'm scratching gravel
For that blue ridge

Every word on my mind
Bonny is your good-bye
Black, black, black, black is the day
No sun is shining in my world
Bonny, since you went away

Sad, sad, sad, sad in my heart
All my laughter's turned to tears
Bonny, since you've been apart

Every pretty flower has<

I'm breaking in a brand new pair of shoes
Don't look at me like you think I've got the blues
'Cause I'm walking 'round and around and I'm seeing most of the town
I'm just breaking in a brand new pair of shoes

Ah ha so I'm talking to myself
Oh no she's not putting me on the

You're bound to fall, for the bugle call.
You're gonna brag, 'bout the Bugle Call Rag.
Thin or fat, young or old, shake their shoulders bold.
You're bound to fall, for the bugle call.
You're gonna brag,
'Bout the Bugle Call Rag.

CHORUS:
Hold me baby, let's sy

The days are long, the nights are lonely
Since you left me all alone
I worried so, my little darlin'
I worried so since you've been gone

Sweetheart of mine, can't you hear me callin'
A million times that I love you best
I mistreated you, darlin', I'm sorry
Come back

Love oh love careless love
Love oh love careless love
Love oh love oh careless love
See what careless love has done

Once I wore my apron low (3x)
I couldn't keep you from my door

What oh what will mama say (3x)
When she learns I've gone astray

I love my mama

Don't go so far away love, try to settle down
For losing you would be more than I could bear
Tho' I'm tied to another, I hope someday she'll set me free
For I don't want a cheap love affair

I knew we loved each other the night that we first met
It just happened there was no

You've gone so far away, my darling
Each time I think of you I cry
I press your picture to my bosom
Then I feel that you're close by

Years have passed you've not returned dear
Now they say that you have died
But your soul will live forever
Now I know you'll be close

Way down in Columbus, Georgia
Want to be back in Tennessee
Way down in Columbus Stockade
Friends all turned their backs on me

Go and leave me if you wish to
Never let it cross your mind
If in your heart you love another
Leave me little darling, I don't mind

La

Oh, I'm sending a prayer up to Heaven
On a beautiful cloud you see
So you will know that I want you
In my beautiful memories and dreams
Come back to me in my dreams love
Come back to me in sweet dreams
I'm heartbroke I'm sad and I'm weary
Come back to me in my dreams<

When I was a pretty little baby
My mama would rock me in the craddle
In them old cotton fields back home
When I was a pretty little baby
My mama would rock me in the craddle
In them old cotton fields back home

Chorus:
Well when them cotton bolls get rotten

I got a girl and she loves me
She's as sweet as sweet can be
She's got eyes of baby blue
Makes my gun shoot straight and true

Refrain:
Going up Cripple Creek going in a run
Going up Cripple Creek to have some fun

Cripple Creek's wide and Cripple Creek's deep
I

Cry cry darling
That's what I'll do If you should leave me with the blues
Cry cry darling
That's all I do cause you're the one that's in my heart
For me there'll be no moonlight
If ever we should part
Cry cry darling, that's all I do
Cause you're the one that's in my

Lord I ain't no stranger now
Lord I ain't no stranger now
I've been introduced to the Father and the Son
Lord I ain't no stranger now

Cryin' holy unto my Lord
Cryin holy unto my Lord
Lord if I could I surely would
Stand on that rock where Moses stood

Sinners r

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.

But come you back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white
