Down on the riverbed
Down on the riverbed Down on the riverbed I asked my lover for her hand A red tailed hawk circled overhead A red tailed hawk circled overhead A red tailed hawk circled overhead The church on the hill is what she said A monster cloud like a big black hand A monster cloud like a big black hand A monster cloud like a big black hand As she drew houses in the sand Then I heard a train whistle blow Then I heard a train whistle blow Then I heard a train whistle blow And I knew it was time to go |

Emily, take me 'cross the water home
Emily, look how much we have grown Emily, I still remember the day Waking up, chasing the shadows away It won't be long 'til I see your face Eyes as bright as the sun It won't be far down this lonesome road 'Til I see you again Emily, run so fast through the fields Make believe, all our dreams were so real It won't be long 'til I see you smile Turning my night into day It won't be far down this lonely way 'Til I can hold you again Emily we can hide, hide from them all Emily, they can't catch us They can't catch us now They can't catch us now They can't catch us now |

I'll walk alone if I can't walk with you
I'll walk alone if I can't walk with you I don't want nobody else, nobody else will do Life is too precious to live alone Life is too precious to live alone A house without love is not a home I close my eyes and hold you tight I close my eyes and hold you tight It's a dream I have about every night I'll walk alone if I can't walk with you I'll walk alone if I can't walk with you I don't want nobody else, nobody else will do |

Good night, sleep tight
The big bright sun has gone away Done gone away Goodbye, don't cry Tomorrow will bring us a brand new day We can run and play [Chorus:] And they'll laugh up and down the hall Don't you go shout when you hear them fall Let them fly across the wall Let them cry - 'til the morning calls Little two step angel dance Big night, bright lights Time now to lay them all to rest Put 'em all to rest Bad guys, mean eyes All gone away to where they belong Let's just sing our song [Chorus] Good days, new ways Let go of all things when you sleep When you're all asleep Good night, sleep right Tomorrow is gonna bring us another day So we can run and play [Chorus] |

He can't run
He can't play He does things in a different way Little John, Little John of God He tries to speak but no one hears A little boy's pains and a little boy's fears Little John, Little John of God He's come to us from up above To touch our hearts with special love With special love, Little John of God You can say with your eyes What others only say inside Little John, Little John of God Little John, Little John of God |

There's a deep dark hole and it leads to nowhere
There's a deep dark hole and it leads to nowhere Better step aside, best take care Keep an eye out and beware There's a deep dark hole and it leads to nowhere It'll spin you 'round and keep you down Tie your feet right to the ground 'Cause it's got no soul, just a big black hole It'll mix you up and leave you out cold There's a deep dark hole and it leads to nowhere There's a deep dark hole and it leads to nowhere Better step aside, best take care Keep an eye out and beware There's a deep dark hole and it leads to nowhere It'll spin you 'round and keep you down Tie your feet right to the ground 'Cause it's got no soul, just a big black hole It'll mix you up and leave you out cold There's a deep dark hole and it leads to nowhere There's a deep dark hole and it leads to nowhere Better step aside, best take care Keep an eye out and beware There's a deep dark hole and it leads to nowhere There's a deep dark hole and it leads to nowhere |

Way down south where I make my stop
They do a dance down there called the Georgia Slop They all hang out at Peg Leg Lee's And they don't give a hoot about no police Peg Leg Lee's is where I'm talking about They knocked down, kicked, and dragged 'em out They get paid on Friday when their work's all done And they all do it up 'til Monday comes When they do the Slop they turn loose hands And move like a chicken when he's scratching in the sand Shuffle your feet and spin like a top Shake shake shake the Georgia Slop I stopped to get a soda and dig that jive I met a chick, she weighed 385 I started lookin' and I couldn't stop She and I got together and did the Georgia Slop Peg Leg Lee's is where I'm talking about They knocked down, kicked, and dragged 'em out Do it baby, do it baby, do it baby, do it baby To the right, to the left Oh baby, yah do it baby |

I love you baby with all my might
God knows I tried to treat you right I beg you baby, let me be your slave But please don't send me to an early grave [Chorus:] Well I can't understand, why did you let me go? Well I can't understand, why did you let me go? I done all I could, I can't do no more There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you If you want my life you can have that too Please use my blood to make my grave Let the world know I died your happy slave [Chorus] I thought you loved me, I changed my life I wanted you to be my woman and wife Now bloodshot tears have blinded my eyes I'm too weak to live and too strong to die [Chorus] |

A warm wind is blowing through the valleys and the mountain tops
Down the road to a place we know so well The children are running with ribbons in their baby hands While we all gather 'round the Giving Tree Let's go sing songs, the blue ones Let's go sing about the Lord above And thank the old sun for all we have The sad times, the glad times The babies swinging in our arms Just don't seem like much like rain 'round the Giving Tree Like the shedherds once followed a star bright up in the sky We've come to say, come be with us know Come give us a good one Come give us a happy time While we all here dance 'round the Giving Tree |

Girl you know, you can't go on this way
Night after night, day after every day Whisper to me, what's in your aching heart This love you need is not very far Baby dry the tears from your eyes And take my hand as we walk into the night A soul on fire and a touch that's cold Seems to me that's all you've ever known Desperately looking for something that's real Hard to find is the love that can heal Baby dry the tears from your eyes And take my hand as we walk into the night Tender are the dreams That we try so hard to hide, so deep inside I don't know why you go on this way Night after night, and about every day Tell to me, the secrets only a girl could know How much to feel and just how much to show Baby dry the tears from your eyes And take my hand as we walk into the night |

Let the calm, calm blue waters through
Wash your soul, passing right through you Like the smallest rose out of the hardest ground Like a tiny hand reaching up for the sun Let us hope that our hearts are one The toughest love is the strongest one Like a crippled man fights his bitter pain On two tired legs that hope to walk once again Just stay gold and be still As we grow, a river flows Through our hearts Finding peace wherever it may go Let pure, pure blue waters through Don't let the wind take them away From you, the littlest star Shines in the darkest night Like a mother's ache brings in a new life Just stay gold and be still Pray that we can stay gold and be still |

Brother finds trouble on the street
A piece of rock to make men weak Trembling eyes at everyone he meets Sister holds her baby in the bed Dreams and wishes dancing in her head A love forever is what he said That's what he said Father leans back in his easy chair A pint of whiskey, just sits and stares He don't know and doesn't really care Mother works at a nine to five Hardly makes enough to keep alive She bows her head with tears in her eyes Thank you, Lord, for another day Help my brother along his way Please bring peace to the neighborhood, to the neighborhood Grant us all peace and serenity They're just songs sung on a dirty street Echoes of hope lie beneath their feet Struggling hard to make ends meet Thank you, Lord, for another day Help my brother along his way Please bring peace to the neighborhood Thank you, Lord, for another day Help my brother along his way Please bring peace to the neighborhood To the neighborhood To the neighborhood To the neighborhood |
