One evening as the sun went down
And the jungle fires were burning, Down the track came a hobo hiking, And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning I'm headed for a land that's far away Besides the crystal fountains So come with me, we'll go and see The Big Rock Candy Mountains In the Big Rock Candy Mountains, There's a land that's fair and bright, Where the handouts grow on bushes And you sleep out every night. Where the boxcars all are empty And the sun shines every day And the birds and the bees And the cigarette trees The lemonade springs Where the bluebird sings In the Big Rock Candy Mountains. In the Big Rock Candy Mountains All the cops have wooden legs And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs The farmers' trees are full of fruit And the barns are full of hay Oh I'm bound to go Where there ain't no snow Where the rain don't fall The winds don't blow In the Big Rock Candy Mountains. In the Big Rock Candy Mountains You never change your socks And the little streams of alcohol Come trickling down the rocks The brakemen have to tip their hats And the railway bulls are blind There's a lake of stew And of whiskey too You can paddle all around it In a big canoe In the Big Rock Candy Mountains In the Big Rock Candy Mountains, The jails are made of tin. And you can walk right out again, As soon as you are in. There ain't no short-handled shovels, No axes, saws nor picks, I'm bound to stay Where you sleep all day, Where they hung the jerk That invented work In the Big Rock Candy Mountains. ................ I'll see you all this coming fall In the Big Rock Candy Mountains |

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms When I awoke, 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 gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away 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: [ repeat ] You told me once, dear, you really loved me And no one else could come between. But now you've left me and love another; You have shattered all my dreams: [ repeat ] Please don't take my sunshine away |

(Chorus) In constant sorrow through his days
I am a man of constant sorrow I've seen trouble all my days I bid farewell to old Kentucky The place here I was born and raised (Chorus) The place where he was born and raised For 6 long years I've been in trouble No pleasure here on earth I find For in this world I'm bound to ramble I have no friends to help me now (Chorus) He has no friends to help him now It's fare thee well my own true lover I never expect to see you again For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad Perhaps I'll die upon that train (Chorus) Perhaps he'll die upon this train You can bury me in Sunday valley For many years where I may reign And you may learn to love another While I am sleeping in my grave (Chorus) While he is sleeping in his grave Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger My face you'll never see no more But there is one promise that is given I'll meet you on god's golden shore (Chorus) He'll meet you on god's golden shore. |

Hard time here and everywhere you go
Times is harder than ever been before And the people are driftin' from door to door Can't find no heaven, I don't care where they go Hear me tell you people, just before I go These hard times will kill you just dry long so Well, you hear me singin' my lonesome song These hard times can last us so very long If I ever get off this killin' floor I'll never get down this low no more No-no, no-no, I'll never get down this low no more And you say you had money, you better be sure 'Cause these hard times will drive you from door to door Sing this song and I ain't gonna sing no more Sing this song and I ain't gonna sing no more These hard times will drive you from door to door |

I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my day. I bid farewell to old Kentucky The place where I was born and raised. (The place where he was born and raised ) For six long years I've been in trouble No pleasures here on earth I found For in this world I'm bound to ramble I have no friends to help me now. He has no friends to help him now It's fare thee well my old lover I never expect to see you again For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad Perhaps I'll die upon this train. Perhaps he'll die upon this train. You can bury me in some deep valley For many years where I may lay Then you may learn to love another While I am sleeping in my grave. While he is sleeping in his grave. Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger My face you'll never see no more. But there is one promise that is given I'll meet you on God's golden shore. He'll meet you on God's golden shore |

There's a dark & a troubled side of life
There's a bright, there's a sunny side, too Tho' we meet with the darkness and strife The sunny side we also may view cho: Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side, Keep on the sunny side of life It will help us ev'ry day, it will brighten all the way If we'll keep on the sunny side of life The storm and its fury broke today, Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear; Clouds and storms will, in time, pass away The sun again will shine bright and clear. Let us greet with the song of hope each day Tho' the moment be cloudy or fair Let us trust in our Saviour away Who keepeth everyone in His care |

Some glad morning when this life is o'er,
I'll fly away; To a home on God's celestial shore, I'll fly away (I'll fly away). *I'll fly away, Oh Glory I'll fly away; (in the morning) When I die, Hallelujah, by and by, I'll fly away (I'll fly away). When the shadows of this life have gone, I'll fly away; Like a bird from prison bars has flown, I'll fly away (I'll fly away) *Repeat Just a few more weary days and then, I'll fly away; To a land where joy shall never end, I'll fly away (I'll fly away) *Repeat |

Kiss me mother kiss your darlin'
Lay my head upon your breast Throw your loving arms around me I am weary let me rest Seems the light is swiftly fading Brighter scenes they do now show I am standing by the river Angels wait to take me home Kiss me mother kiss your darlin' See the pain upon my brow While I'll soon be with the angels Fate has doomed my future now Through the years you've always loved me And my life you've tried to save But now I shall slumber sweetly In a deep and lonely grave Kiss me mother kiss your darlin' Lay my head upon your breast Throw your loving arms around me I am weary let me rest I am weary let me rest |

O, Death,
O, Death, Won't you spare me over til another year? Well, what is this that I can't see With ice cold hands takin' hold of me? Well, I am Death, none can excel, I'll open the door to heaven or hell. "Whoa, Death", someone would pray, "Could you wait to call me another day?" The children prayed, the preacher preached, Time and mercy is out of your reach. I'll fix your feet so you can't walk. I'll lock your jaw so you can't talk. I'll close your eyes so you can't see. This very hour, come and go with me. I'm Death; I come to take the soul, Leave the body and leave it cold, To drop the flesh off of the frame; The earth and worm both have a claim. O, Death, O, Death, Won't you spare me over til another year? My mother came to my bed, Placed a cold towel upon my head. My head is warm, my feet are cold. Death is a-movin upon my soul. Oh, Death how you're treating me. You've closed my eyes so I can't see. Well, you're hurting my body, You make me cold. You run my life right out of my soul. Oh, Death please consider my age. Please don't take me at this stage. My wealth is all at your command If you will move your icy hand. Oh, the young, the rich or poor Hunger like me you know. No wealth, no land, no silver, no gold Nothing satisfies me but your soul. O, Death, O, Death, Won't you spare me over til another year? Won't you spare me over til another year? Won't you spare me over til another year? |
