Get Down Boys
03:01
|

Get down boys, go back home
back to the girl you love.
Treat her right, never wrong
How mountain girls can love.
I was riding thru the night in the high cold wind
on the trail of that old lonesome pine.
Thinking of you and feeling so blue
Wondering why I ever left you behind.
(Chorus)
Do you remember the night when we walked in the lane
Our hearts were gay and happy then.
And you whispered to me as I held you tight
How I wished this night would never end.

High Mountain Girl
02:01
|

You're my wild flower baby, you're my honeysuckle thrill, you're my wild rose blooming, come and cover my hill
You're my porridge in the morning, you're my whiskey at night, you're my magpie on the mountain, come on baby, hold me tight
Oh darling, dosey doe me, give me a twirl, swing me round the dance floor, I'm your high mountain girl
You're my scarecrow in the corn fields, you're my hushpuppie pie, you're my raccoon in the green beans, you keep me satisfied
You're my corn and mashed potatoes, you're my little lightenin' bug, you're my sunshine on the clover, it's you I'm thinking of

I Like You
02:59
|
|||
I like the sun, I like the sky, I like the dew and I like you
I like the jacarandas purpling the street, I like it when you call, I like it when we meet
Oh, I like you, I like you a lot (chorus)
I like the twerping of the bird's call, I like the spring and I like the fall
Did I say how much I like you? I like you a lot, you're so cool, you're so hot
chorus
And it seems the more I like you, the more I like the rest of my life
And it seems the more I like you, it's contagious, like a beautiful dream

Walls Of Time
03:33
|
|||
The wind is blowing cross the mountains
Down on the valley way below.
It sweeps the grave of my darling
When I die that's where I want to go.
Lord send the angels for my darling
And take him to that home on high
I'll wait my time out here on earth love
And come to you when I die.
I hear a voice out in the darkness
It moans and whispers through the pines
I know it's my sweetheart a calling
I hear him through the walls of time
Our names are carved upon the tombstone
I promised you before you died
Our love will bloom forever darling
When we rest side by side.

Living In My Car
02:56
|
|||
Living in my car, living in my car, here on the dark side of town,
well the engine broke, so I don't get far, I reckon you could say I settled down (chorus)
Sometimes in the winter it gets mighty cold, but the rain makes a beautiful sound, falling on the hood, tapping on the roof, and splashing on the pavement all around
chorus
I've got a solar oven on the dashboard here to heat up food that I found,
dining's in the front, bedroom's in the back, and the radio makes a happy sound
chorus
Well my neck gets stiff and my hip gets sore until I get up and move em all around, I got a piece of rug to stretch out on, so I don't do my yoga on the ground
chorus
Now I cover all the windows and lock all the doors at night when my fears get strong, when I wake up in the morning and I'm still here, then I start to hum a little song
chorus
Scared of getting tickets for sleeping in my car, god knows I hate doing time, but some rich lawyers in the land of the free decided being broke was a crime

Be Well In The Valley
04:10
|
|||
Be well in the valley
Be well on your own
Be well in the valley
So far from home
Be well with your children
Be well with your wife
Be well in the valley
Dream of me tonight (chorus)
Last time I saw you
You held me so tight
I could have just died there
Our love was so right
chorus
But now I just hear your voice whisper my name
You chose another love nothing’s the same

Waterbound
03:59
|
|||
Chickens crowing in the old pine tree
Chickens crowing in the old pine tree
Chickens crowing in the old pine tree
down in North Carolina
Water bound and I can't get home
Water bound and I can't get home
Water bound and I can't get home
Down in North Carolina.
Say old man I want your daughter
Say old man I want your daughter
Say old man I want your daughter
down in North Carolina.
Tell me boy what you want her for
Tell me boy what you want her for
Tell me boy what you want her for
Down in North Carolina.
To make my bread and share my water
To make my bread and share my water
To make my bed and share my water
down in North Carolina.
If you don't let her go we're gonna run away
If you don't let her go we're gonna run away
If you don't let her go we're gonna run away
down in North Carolina.

You Are My Sunshine
03:11
|
|||
Beyond the night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
But when I woke, dear, I was mistaken
and I hung my head, and cried
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away (chorus)
I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another,
You'll regret it all some day
You told me once dear you truly loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you've left me to love another
You have shattered all my dreams

Cluck Ol' Hen
02:16
|
|||
My old hen, a good old hen
She lays eggs for the railroad men
Sometimes one and sometimes ten
That's enough for the railroad men
Cluck old hen cluck and sing
Ain't laid an egg since late last spring
Cluck old hen cluck and squall
Ain't laid an egg since late last fall
Had an old hen, she had a wooden leg
best little hen that ever laid an egg
she laid more eggs than the hens around the farm
another little drink wouldn't do me no harm
My old hen, a good old hen
She lays eggs for the railroad men
Sometimes one, sometimes two
Sometimes enough for the whole dang crew

You Made Me Laugh
02:42
|
|||
You made me laugh evey time I saw you
I cried and cried, when you were gone
Sweet love and music go on forever
I lift my voice up and carry on (chorus)
Good times, that's what you said
with a smile and a wave and a bob of your head
Grubbin' and rapping was vivedly fun
Down at the raggin' Cajun
chorus
Technique and passion, you had it all
Your music flowing like a waterfall
May Day, May Day all the girls cry
Our love for you will never die
chorus
You played births and weddings and rock and roll
Every moment historical, thanks mega for the epic time
I'm so glad that you were mine
chorus
