Pardon me if I'm sentimental when we say goodbye
Don't be angry with me should I cry When you're gone yet I'll dream a little dreams as years go by Now and then there's a fool such as I Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you You taught me how to love and now you say that we are through I'm a fool but I'll love you dear until the day I die Now and then there's a fool such as I (Now and then there's a fool... |

One heart too many I have broken love dreams that faded away
Too many teardrops have fallen too many vows cast aside Soft wedding bells should be ringing for us in the chapel tonight But this morning they tolled and her bright band of gold Was returned with this message tonight Your sweetheart has left us today heart broken God took her away That silk gown of white for her wedding tonight She wore as they laid her away Though she died for a love all in vain her last words were calling your name As I walked to her grave where the bluebonnets wave I cried but my tears were too late Tonight sweetheart as I kneel here alone beside you And my tears stain the flowers on your grave In deep regret I think of the heart that I have wounded Of the sorrow and grief and the life that I could have saved Yes tonight darling you were to be my loving bride But all that I have left now as I bow to pray Is your ring a picture the sad message that they sent me And this rose that I am taking from your grave Though she died for a love... |

I went to your wedding although I was dreading
The thought of losing you The organ was playing my poor heart kept saying Your dreams your dreams are through You came down the aisle wearing a smile a vision of loveliness I uttered a sigh then whispered goodbye goodbye to my happiness Your mother was crying your father was crying and I was crying too The teardrops were falling because we were losing you Your mother was crying... |

Tonight I'm sad my heart is weary I'm wondering if I'm wrong or right
Although you've gone and found another I wonder where you are tonight That old rain is cold and slowly falling upon my window pane tonight And though your love was even colder I wonder where you are tonight Your heart was cold you never loved me though you said you often cared And now you've gone and found another someone to know the love I've shared That old rain is cold... [ fiddle - steel ] Then came the dawn the day you left me I tried to smile with all my might But you could see the pain within me that lingers in my heart tonight That old rain is cold... |

That big eight-wheeler, rollin' down the track
Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back Cause I'm movin'on, I'll soon be gone You were flyin' too high, for my little old sky So I'm movin' on. That big loud whistle, as it blew and blew Said hello to the southland, we're comin' to you And we're movin' on, oh, hear my song You had the laugh on me, so I set you free And I'm movin' on. Mister fireman, won't you please listen to me Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee Keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll And keep movin' me on. Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand This rattler's the fastest in the southern land To keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on You gonna ease my mind, put me there on time And keep rollin' on. I've told you baby, from time to time But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind Now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on You've broken your vow, and it's all over now So I'm movin' on. You've switched your engine, now I ain't got time For a triflin' woman on my main line Cause I'm movin' on, you done your daddy wrong I warned you twice, now you can settle the price Cause I'm movin' on. But someday baby, when you've had your play You're gonna want your daddy, but your daddy will say Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long I'm through with you, too bad you're blue Keep movin' on. |

I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day
And stopped there for a moment, just to watch the children play Alone a boy was standing and when I asked him why He turned with eyes that could not see and he began to cry I'm nobody's child I'm nobody's child I'm like a flower just growing wild No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smiles Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child People come for children and take them for their own But they all seem to pass me by and I am left alone I know they'd like to take me but when they see I'm blind They always take some other child and I am left behind No mother's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry Sometimes it gets so lonely here I wish that I could die I'd walk the streets of heaven where all the blind can see And just like all the other kids there'd be a home for me [spoken] I just can't seem to figure out why the folks all pass me by Cause I know that it's true that God takes little blind children with him in the sky And they tell me that I'm oh so pretty and they seem to like my big curls of gold But then they take some other little child and I'm left here all alone I'm nobody's child I'm nobody's child I'm like a flower just growing wild No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smiles Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child |

Words & Music by Hank Snow
Darlin' I am, oh so blue, found the things that I gave you. You returned them when you said that we must part. I have kept them through the years, they are treasured souvenirs, And mark an anniversary of my broken heart. Just a rose from your hair, long ago I placed it there. Tho' it's faded and the petals fall apart. And the fragrance went away, but it's just as sweet today, It marks an anniversary of my broken heart. A golden ring to me so dear, old love letters stained with tears, Had I only known the future from the start, Then there'd be no soul to pine for the love that I thought mine, Or no anniversary of my broken heart. Tho' I know it's all in vain, ev'ry treasure will remain Even tho' the past has torn my world apart. I kissed your picture, then I cried, for these mem'ries, deep inside Mark an anniversary of my broken heart. |

Now when I had the money honey, things were just fine You spent my money like I was a mine But now you mistreat me 'cause my money is gone So gold-diggin' Mama, you can start moving' on. You shoveled out the sweet talk when the pay dirt was big But now all you shovel out is just a dirty dig Well, stop digging honey 'cause you're wasting your time This old gravy train is at the end of the line. CHORUS You've been out prospecting all around on the side But this old mule now, has had his last ride So start walkin' woman 'cause your grubstake is gone The gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on.

From old Montana down to Alabam'
I've been before and I'll travel again You triflin' women can't keep a good man down You dealt the cards, but you missed the play So hit the road and be on your way Gonna board the Golden Rocket and leave this town. I was a good engine a-runnin' on time But baby I'm switchin' to another line So honey never hang your signal out for me I'm tired of runnin' on the same old track Bought a one-way ticket and I won't be back This Golden Rocket's gonna roll my blues away. Hear that lonesome whistle blow That's your cue and by now you know That I got another true lover waitin' in Tennessee This Midnight Special's a-burnin' the rail So woman don't try to follow my trail This Golden Rocket's gonna roll my blues away. Hear her thunder on through the night This Golden Rocket is a-doin' me right And that sunny old Southland sure is a part of me Now from your call-board erase my name Your fire went out, you done lost your flame And this Golden Rocket is a-rollin' my blues away. That old conductor, he seemed to know You'd done me wrong, I was feelin' low For he yelled aloud, "We're over that Dixon Line" The brakeman started singing a song Said "You're worried now, but it won't be long This Golden Rocket is leavin' your blues behind." Then the porter yelled with his southern drawl Let's "rise and shine, good mornin', you-all" And I sprang to my feet to greet the new-born day When I kissed my baby in the station door That whistle blew like it never before On the Golden Rocket that rolled my blues away. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By SNOW, HANK Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc. |

The Law Of Love has ruled again, dear, You said goodbye and went your way. In chains of sorrow you have bound me, I'm a prisoner of your love today. You said your mind had reached the verdict, You've been the judge right from the start. The sentence that you gave me, darlin', Was a lap of tears and a broken heart. I counted ev'ry star up yonder, I've watched the moon in heaven so bright. They seem to share the pain you left me, That lingers in my heart tonight. Perhaps some day you'll grant a pardon, Perhaps someday bring back the key, And open up this lock of love, dear, And let this weary heart go free. |

Words & Music by Hank Snow
Old Father Time has seen a million, million hearts Break with pain down the highway of years. I never dreamed that the love I thought was true Would deceive and just leave me these tears. The little seeds of happiness I grew with tender care Have withered now that fate has played its part. And my bud of love has closed, I have lost THE ONLY ROSE That was blooming in the garden of my heart. Mister Moon, I wonder, as you gaze from up above On my broken heart that love has cast away. If there's just one trace of sadness on my darlings face tonight, Will she bloom within my heart again some day. Will the weeds and briars vanish where the tears of sorrow fell, And let the seeds of romance play its part. Or must I go on living with just mem'ries of a rose That once blossomed in the garden of my heart. |

Welcome all you children, give a listen to me
Let me tell you about a new boogie beat There's no hesitation and it's sweepin' the nation It's the rhumba boogie done the South American way While madame Lazonga was teachin' la conga In her little cabana in old Havana We were doin' the Charleston and ballin' the Jack And then that old black bottom 'til they started that jitterbug rag Then across the water came Cuban Pete He started a boogie to the rhumba beat It's the rhumba boogie, let's give it a whirl While he plays the boogie in the South American style Well, you step out together then you circle around Count one, two, three, then put your right foot down Then you circle your lady, as you swing and you sway To the rhumba boogie in the South American way When that old piano, it starts to ring Everybody then starts to sing To the rhumba boogie, done the tropical style It's the rhumba boogie and they're doin' it all of the while Well, the guy responsible for leadin' the band He yells, do your stuff, it's the best in the land It's the rhumba boogie, let's dance it awhile To the boogie woogie done the rhumba Cubana style While madame Lazonga was teachin' la conga In her little cabana in old Havana The folks in old Mexico were doin' the tango And we were steppin' to the rhythm of an old guitar Down across the water came Cuban Pete He started a boogie to the rhumba beat It's the rhumba boogie, let's dance it awhile To the rhumba boogie down the rhumba Cubana style |

I'm a wonder, I'll keep drifting on
Can't see, honey, why you done me wrong Hard luck sure has got me I can't sleep a wink I'll just have to face it from now on Sailing o'er the sea of dreams No one cares for me And we're drifting oh so far apart You slammed the door of love on me Had found a new daddy, I could see By that unwanted sign upon your heart Seems I'm always on the losin' end Your little game of love was just pretend I have learned the hard way It was plain to see You were nothing more than just a friend Never thought you'd treat me so I can't understand Why you had to tear my world apart Left me everything to lose And along with mean old blues That unwanted sign upon your heart Maybe someday that old tide will turn And your ship will drift on back to me Then I'll be the captain You will be the crew You'll know how it feels to sit and yearn You may think you're doing fine And the world is yours But you played an unfair game to start When you learn that love is blind You'll come back but then you'll find An unwanted sign upon my heart |

Broken hearted and so sad golden curls all wet with tears
Twas a picture of sorrow to see Kneeling close to the side of his pal and only pride A little lad these words he told me He was such a lovely doggie and to me he was such fun But today as we played by the way A drunken man got mad at him because he barked in joy He beat him and he's dying here today Will you call the doctor please and tell him if he comes right now He'll save my precious buddy cause I'll pray Then he stroked the fluffy head but his little pal was dead Just a shiver and he slowly passed away He didn't know his dog had died so I told him as he cried Come with me son we'll get that doctor right away I can't leave him here alone I must get my doggie home So while you're gone sir I'll just kneel beside him here and I'll pray But when I returned he had his little pal upon his knee And the teardrops they were blinding his big blue eyes You're too late sir my doggie's dead and no help can save him now But I'll meet my precious buddy up in the sky By a tiny narrow grave where the willows sadly wave There in grave on a shingle of pine Little buddy rest in peace God will watch you through the years Cause I told him in my prayers that you were mine |

The postman dropped a letter in my door
The address wasn't plain, but I could see It had traveled far across the great Pacific From my Filipino Rose across the sea The writing from her tremblin' hand was blurred The paper, it was badly stained with tears It read, They tell me you have wed another After I have longed and waited all these years (Chorus) But I'm still prayin' that the trade winds Send you sailin' across the blue In my harbor I've dreamed you'll anchor Where your lonely Filipino waits for you I promised her that I'd return some day I told her she'd won my heart and hand I told her a lie, 'cause I was lonely Far from home, a stranger in that foreign land She wrote, I've watched the driftwood float on by I've watched the sea roll on its weary way I've watched the silver sails out on the ocean Hopin' you might return to me someday The chains of love may never set you free But thru the years, as mem'ries fonder grow This broken heart will always wait for you, dear It was signed, Your lonely Filipino Rose (Repeat Chorus) |

I woke up this mornin’ in a terrible mood,
You talk about a woman treatin’ a good man rude She left me talkin’ to myself just a gazin’ at that mean old wall. She had another daddy waitin’ down at the end of the hall. She changes with the weather like the leaves I recall, She blossoms in the spring but then she’s gone in the fall, A two timin’ woman with a heart of solid stone. She tells me that she loves me but her heart’s a little under grown. She said she’d never leave me but she got that urge to roam, She drifts around the country like a stream-boat on the foam, Never changes course just travels along that same old way. I hope she goes a-drift and rolls along back home some day. Now, if I ever find her, gonna chain her to the floor, Then tell her: Now sit there woman ‘cause you ain’t leavin’ no more, I’m gonna tame you woman till you’re eatin’ from my hand. It ain’t that I don’t love you, honey it’s just to make you understand. |

Words & Music by C.E. "Hank" Snow
There's a heart that is broken today There is someone who waits far away One who's kneeling in prayer as she waits for me there Asking that I might comeback some day. Her hands are all wrinkled with care The gold has all gone from her hair How I long to caress her my mother God bless her She's a rose from the garden of prayer. When I was a boy at her knee She was more than a mother to me As I gaze into space I can see her sweet face As I stood by her old rocking chair. When cares would impress on my brow Or someone would turn me away She would always be near me to comfort and cheer me She's a rose from the garden of prayer. So I'm leaving and heading that way To a mother so feeble and grey Where she waits there alone in our Heaven called home By the window she's watching for me. Soon my sorrows and troubles will end Where all nature is blooming so fair And I'll rest in the arms of the one that is true She' my rose from the garden of prayer. |

Travelling the lonely roads of sorrow heartaches are all I've ever known
Time has turned a million pages fate has dealt and I'm alone But somewhere along life's highway from your new love you may part And you will reap the pains my darling that go with a broken heart The little stars all twinkled brighter the moon smiled gaily from the blue. The flowers seemed to spread more beauty oh so glad cause I met you But somewhere along life's highway... Though you've made my life a failure I have never been untrue. And these lonely years have wasted all because my love for you But somewhere along life's highway... You played your game to leave me darling your game I did not understand So you dealt the cards against me and I played the losing hand But somewhere along life's highway... |

If you listen a story I'll tell you,
Of a girl who once lived in this land; A girl who was once my sweetheart, She was know as The Blue Velvet Band. On her cheeks was the first flush of nature, Her beauty, it seemed to expand, Her hair hung down in long tresses, Tied back with a blue velvet band. I can still see those tears as we parted, Of my heart broken Blue Velvet Band; As I left I told her I'd never Come back to my old home again. Five years on the wide open spaces Was all that my poor heart could stand, every night as I lay on my pillow, I would dream of my Blue Velvet Band. Then one night as I lay down dreaming Of home and poor mother and dad, Like a flash by my bedside was standing The form of my Blue Velvet Band. I started next day for my darling, Just to go back and make her my bride; But as I reached the old country depot, They told my my sweet heart has died. They laid her to rest in the churchyard, Midst the sweet summer flowers of the land; On her finger the ring I had bought her, On her head was a blue velvet band. |

One dark and stormy night while riding down the line;
Railroad Bill, the engineer said, "Boy, we'll have to fly!" We've got to be on time, to meet old Number Four. So sling the coal, we'll make it, boy, or never ride no more. While in the rear boxcar, a lonely hobo lay, Heading for his mother dear, who on her death-bed lay; He raised a weary hand, to brush away a tear, Not knowing his last drive was run, and Fate was drawing near. When through the darkened night, a headlight bright did gleam, O'er the roar of rolling wheels, a whistle load did scream; As down around the curve, the mighty train did roar, With black smoke rolling from the stack, came Flyer Number Four. Then came an awful crash! Their last long drive was run, On the track the hobo lay, his days of life were done; And as the golden sun, sank slowly to the west, His dear old mother gently smiled, and closed her eyes in death. |

Listen folks and I will tell a funny story
You may think it sad but I was in my glory 'Twas a cellar I crept in, cobwebs brushing by my chin On the night I stole old Sammy Morgan's gin As my hand fell on the jug I had to snicker But when I started for the door I went much quicker For just up above my head someone jumped right out of bed On the night I stole old Sammy Morgan's gin As I left that cellar believe me, I was liftin' And the hops from one arm to the other shiftin' Then I stopped and hauled the plug, sat there till I drained the jug Had my mind all set, no spare drops I was missin' Then on my feet I thought I was, but wasn't And for roads, I guess I saw about a dozen When I reached the old porch door I went smack-o on the floor On the night I stole old Sammy Morgan's gin I just made one step and landed in the coal box Then from off the mantle came a Big Ben 'larm clock But I finally got upstairs after passing seven bears 'Twas the night I stole old Sammy Morgan's gin By my bedroom door an owl stood taking tickets Then the monkey stood before me baking biscuits But the funniest sight of all was two roosters playing ball On the night I stole old Sammy Morgan's gin I saw mice as big as horses washing dishes As an ape came in the door dressed up in britches Then the floor fell on my head as I tried to get in bed 'Twas the night I stole old Sammy Morgan's gin Well, I woke next morning guess 'twas closer ev'nin' And my room was certainly in an awful shape Someone else had took my head and left an elephant's there instead On the morning after drinking Sammy's gin |

Just wanderin' wanderin' on Since I found the note sweetheart that you wrote Just saying that you had really gone Will the pretty bird sing will the roses in the spring Still blossom when they find you have gone Will the old pals be true or will they all leave me too Just wanderin' wanderin' on [ fiddle ] Will the little brook still play as it winds along its way Will the stars keep on shinin' tough you've gone Will they find their way to you will they tell you that I'm blue Or will they too leave me wanderin' on Will the pretty bird sing...

Now there's all my future plans to rearrange, And I don't know how to make the change; For within this broken heart of mine, All I find is memories of you Darlin' it was just a year ago; You said I'd soon get over lovin' you.

That big eight-wheeler, rollin' down the track
Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back Cause I'm movin'on, I'll soon be gone You were flyin' too high, for my little old sky So I'm movin' on. That big loud whistle, as it blew and blew Said hello to the southland, we're comin' to you And we're movin' on, oh, hear my song You had the laugh on me, so I set you free And I'm movin' on. Mister fireman, won't you please listen to me Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee Keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll And keep movin' me on. Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand This rattler's the fastest in the southern land To keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on You gonna ease my mind, put me there on time And keep rollin' on. I've told you baby, from time to time But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind Now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on You've broken your vow, and it's all over now So I'm movin' on. You've switched your engine, now I ain't got time For a triflin' woman on my main line Cause I'm movin' on, you done your daddy wrong I warned you twice, now you can settle the price Cause I'm movin' on. But someday baby, when you've had your play You're gonna want your daddy, but your daddy will say Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long I'm through with you, too bad you're blue Keep movin' on. |

Oh them big wheels are turning going somewhere
And they're carrying her away from my side Yes I cried thought I'd die Love was just a game to me I thought I'd never cry I thought she'd be the loser but standing here am I And that long train is rolling going somewhere And it's carrying her away from my side Yes I cried thought I'd die [ piano ] A broken heart is something that I have never had But I learned the hard way didn't know it hurt so bad And them big wheels are turnin' going somewhere And it's carryinG her away from my side (Yes he cried thought he'd die) This burnin' love unwanted this love that never dies Keeps right on a hurting no matter how I try And that old rattler rolling going somewhere And it's carrying her away from my side Yes I cried thought I'd die [ guitar ] Many years I've fooled around and many years I've lied I'd always be a leaving with that suitcase by my side But that big engine's rolling going somewhere And it's carrying her away from my side Yes I cried thought I'd die yes I cried thought I'd die |

Hawaii's callin'
When I hear the rhythm of the hula rock, hula rock In the South Pacific where the trade winds blow They thought that the hula was a little bit slow So they stepped it up with a go go go And that's where they got that rock and roll In the South Pacific now they're gettin' with it On the beach at Waikaki And it's a lula when they try the hula With a rockin' rollin' beat Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki Don't stop, just let her rock Take me back where the trade winds blow To the land of the hula where they never get old And the gooney birds dance with a go go go And the natives join in with a rock and roll With me, it's a riddle how they break in the middle And yet stay on the beat But I wanna sway with 'em when I hear the rhythm Of the rockin' hula beat Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki Don't stop, just let her rock Hawaii's callin' |

That big eight-wheeler, rollin' down the track
Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back Cause I'm movin'on, I'll soon be gone You were flyin' too high, for my little old sky So I'm movin' on. That big loud whistle, as it blew and blew Said hello to the southland, we're comin' to you And we're movin' on, oh, hear my song You had the laugh on me, so I set you free And I'm movin' on. Mister fireman, won't you please listen to me Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee Keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll And keep movin' me on. Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand This rattler's the fastest in the southern land To keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on You gonna ease my mind, put me there on time And keep rollin' on. I've told you baby, from time to time But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind Now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on You've broken your vow, and it's all over now So I'm movin' on. You've switched your engine, now I ain't got time For a triflin' woman on my main line Cause I'm movin' on, you done your daddy wrong I warned you twice, now you can settle the price Cause I'm movin' on. But someday baby, when you've had your play You're gonna want your daddy, but your daddy will say Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long I'm through with you, too bad you're blue Keep movin' on. |

Way down in the state of Georgia
Through the swamps and everglades There's a hole in Tiger Mountain God help the man who gets lost in Miller's Cave. I had a girl (had a girl) In Waycross, Georgia (Waycross, Georgia) but she had unfaithful ways Made me feel (made me feel) I was unwanted (so unwanted) Like the bats and the bears in Miller's Cave. I couldn't stand the way she did me Couldn't take her low down ways Before I'd stay with a cheatin' woman I'll go live the bears in Miller's Cave. I caught her out (caught her out) one Sunday morning (Sunday morning) With a man they call Big Dave Meanest man (meanest man) in Waycross, Georgia (Waycross, Georgia) I'd rather fight a Mountain Lion in Miller's Cave. I said you'll pay, both you and Davey I must see you in your grave They laughed at me and then I shot 'em I took their cheatin', schemin' bones to Miller's Cave. That woman made (woman made) me feel unwanted (so unwanted) But I showed 'em I was brave Most wanted man in the state of Georgia But they'll never find me 'cause I'm lost in Miller's Cave. Dark cold, cave, Miller's Cave. |
