[Chorus]
Trouble in mind, I'm blue, but I won't be blue always
Cause the sun's gonna shine on my back door someday
[Verse 1]
Going down to the railroad, lay my head down on the line
Let that eastbound freight train satisfy my worried mind
[Chorus]
Trouble in mind, I'm blue, but I won't be blue always
Cause the sun's gonna shine on my back door someday
[Verse 2]
Going down to the river, gonna take my rockin' chair
If the blues overtakes me, gonna rock away from here
[Chorus]
Trouble in mind, I'm blue, but I won't be blue always
Cause the sun's gonna shine on my back door someday

Short Life of Trouble
03:44
|
|
||
|
Short life of trouble
Only a word to part
Short life of trouble dear girl
For a boy with a broken heart
You know what you promised
Not more than a week ago
You promised that you’d marry me
Standing in your mama’s door
Now you broke your promise
Go marry whom you may
in this old world so big and so wide
I’ll ramble back some day

Let Her Go I'll Meet Her
04:21
|
|
||
|
Let her go, go, I'll meet her
Let her go, go, I'll meet her
Let her go, go, God bless her soul
She's mine wherever she may be.
Tell me where did you stay last night
Yes, and the night before
I stayed in the pines where the sun never shines
And I shivered when the cold winds blew
I have a ship on the ocean
A boat that sails on the sea
A pretty girl that lives in the country, boys,
Has sure made a wreck out of me
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a true notion like this
To jump in the river and drown

Free Little Bird
03:15
|
|
||
|
I'm a free little bird as I can be
I'm a free little bird as I can be
I'll build my nest in some white oak tree
Where the bad boys they cannot bother me
Take me home little birdie take me home
Take me home little birdie take me home
Take me home little birdie for I love no other
Take me home little birdie take me home
I can't stay here by myself
I can't stay here by myself
I can't stay here neither nowhere's else
I can't stay here by myself
I'll never build my nest on the ground
I'll never build my nest on the ground
I'll build my nest in some pretty girl's breast
Where the bad boys can never tear it down
I'll never steal the honey from the bee
I'll never steal the honey from the bee
I'll steal me a kiss from my sweet darling's lips
And fly away across the sea

Budded Roses
02:36
|
|
||
|
Little darling, we have parted
From each other we must go
Many miles may separate us
In this world of sin and woe
Will this parting be forever?
Will there be no coming day?
When our hearts will be united
All our sorrow pass away
Now this parting brings me sorrow
And it almost breaks my heart
Tell me, darling, will you love me
When we're many miles apart
Down among the budded roses
Though my heart is sad with pain
I have parted from my darling
Never more to meet again

Buffalo Gals
03:19
|
|
||
|
As I was walking down the street
Down the street, Down the street
A pretty girl I chanced to meet
She was fair to view
Chorus:
Buffalo gals, will you come out tonight
Come out tonight, Come out tonight
Buffalo gals, will you come out tonight
And dance by the light of the moon
I stopped her and I had some talk
Had some talk, Had some talk
Her feet covered up the whole side walk
And left no room for me
She’s the prettiest gal I’ve seen in my life,
Seen in my life, Seen in my life,
I wish very much she was my wife,
Then we would part no more.

These Are My Blues
04:46
|
|
||
|
These are my blues
I sing 'em as I please (repeat)
It takes and evil-hearted woman
To set my mind at ease
I love you baby
But I hate your dirty ways (repeat)
If I leave this time honey
You know I'm bound to stay

Devilish Mary
03:06
|
|
||
|
When I was young and foolish
I thought I never would marry
Fell in love with a pretty little gal
And sure enough we married
chorus:
Ring-tum a ding-tum-a-daree
The prettiest little gal that ever I saw
Her name was Devilish Mary
We both were young and foolish
She was just a girly
We both agreed upon one word
Our wedding day was Thursday
We hadn't been married but about six weeks
She got mean as a devil
Every time I look cross-eyed
She knocked me dead with a shovel

Adieu False Heart
03:17
|
|||
|
Adieu false heart since we must part
May the joys of the world go with you
I’ve loved you all with a faithful heart
But never any more can I believe you
I’ve seen a time I’d have married you
And been your constant lover
But now I’d gladly give you up
For one whose heart’s more truer
My mind is like unto the sun
From the east to the west it ranges
Yours is like unto the moon
It’s every month it changes
When I lay down to takе my rest
No scornful one to wake mе
I’ll go straightaways unto my grave
Just as fast as time can take me

Handsome Molly
03:06
|
|||
|
I wish I was in London
Or some other seaport town
I'll set myself on a steamboat
And sail the ocean 'round
While sailing o'er the ocean
While sailing o'er the sea
I think of Handsome Molly
Wherever she may be
She rode to church on Sunday
She passed me on by
I saw her mind was changing
By the roving of her eye
Don't you remember, Molly?
When you gave me your right hand
You said that if you married
I would be your man
Now you broke your promise
Go home with who you please
While my poor heart is aching
You're lying at your ease
Her hair was black as a raven
Her eyes were black as coal
Her teeth were like lilies
Out in the morning grown

You Are My Flower
02:59
|
|||
|
The grass is just as green
The sky is just as blue
The day is just as bright
The birds are singing, too
cho:
You are my flower
That's blooming in the mountain for me
You are my flower
That's blooming there for me
The air is just as pure
The sunlight just as free
And nature seems to say
It's all for you and me
So wear a happy smile
And life will be worthwhile
Forget your tears
And don't forget to smile
When summertime has passed
And snow begins to fall
Just sing this song
And say to one and all

Sweet Corinna Blues
05:17
|
|
||
|
Weeping willow and the mourning dove (repeat)
Sweet Corinna is the gal I love
Got no little flower, the frost has killed the vine (repeat)
Blues ain't nothin', Corinna's been on my mind
I'll cut your wood babe, I'll even tend your fire (repeat)
I'll tote your whiskey, clear from the Fresno bar
Going down to the river, sit down on a log (repeat)
If I can't be your baby, Sure ain't gonna be your dog
Sometimes I think, you're too sweet to die (repeat)
Other times I think you ought to be buried alive
|
||||
15. |
|
|||
|
When death shall close these eye lids
And this heart shall cease to beat
And they lay me down to rest
In some flowery bound retreat
cho:
Will you miss me?
(Miss me when I'm gone)
Will you miss me?
(Miss me when I'm gone)
Will you miss me?
(Miss me when I'm gone)
Will you miss me when I'm gone?
Perhaps you'll plant a flower
On my poor unworthy grave
Come and sit along beside me
When the roses nod and wave
One sweet thought my soul shall cherish
When this fleeting life has flown
This sweet thought will cheer when dying
Will you miss me when I'm gone?
When these lips shall never more
Press a kiss upon thy brow
But lie cold and still in death
Will you love me then as now?

Weeping Willow
03:14
|
|
||
|
f I was some little swallow
Had little wings and I could fly
I'd light in the arms of my own true lover
And if any courting there I'd be by
If I were a little sparrow
Had little wings and I could fly
I would alight by the side of my own true lover
And there I'd sit till the day I die
I'd 'light up in some weeping willow
Weep for weeks, for months and years
I wouldn't eat nothing but weeping willow
And what I'd drink would be my tears
