Well a good ways down the railroad track There was this little old rundown shack And in it lived a man i'd never seen Folks said he was a mean and a vicious man And you better not set foot on his land I didn't think nobody could be that mean So i took me out walking down the railroad track I was a-gonna go down to that little old shack And just find out if all them things i'd heard was true There was a big black dog laying out in the yard And it growled at me and i swallowed hard And i heard somebody say well who are you Oh and there he stood in the door of that shack His beard and his hair was long and black And he was the biggest man i'd ever seen When he spoke his voice was low and deep But he just didn't frighten me 'cause somehow i just knew he wasn't mean He said what you doing snooping 'round my place And i saw a smile come across his face So i smiled back and i told him who i was He said come on in and pull you up a chair You might as well since you already here And he said you can call me joshua Joshua joshua Whatcha doing living here all alone Joshua joshua Ain't you got nobody to call your own No no no no We talked 'til the sun was clean out of sight And we still talking when it come daylight And there was just so much we had to say hey I'd spent my life in an orphan's home And just like him i was all alone So i said yeah when he asked if i'd stay Oh we grew closer as time went on And that little old shack it was a happy home And we just couldn't help but fall in love That big black dog and that little old shack Sitting down by the railroad track It's plenty good enough for me and joshua Joshua joshua Why you're just what i've been looking for Joshua joshua You ain't gonna be lonesome anymore No no Yodel-a-he-ho Me and joshua Me and joshua Me and joshua yeah yeah Me and joshua |

Back Through the Years I Go Wonderin' Once Again Back to the Seasons of My Youth I Recall a Box of Rags That Someone Gave Us And How My Momma Put the Rags to Use There Were Rags of Many Colors Every Piece Was Small And I Didn't Have a Coat And It Was Way Down in the Fall Momma Sewed the Rags Together Sewin' Every Piece With Love She Made My Coat of Many Colors That I Was So Proud Of As She Sewed, She Told a Story From the Bible, She Had Read About a Coat of Many Colors Joseph Wore and Then She Said Perhaps This Coat Will Bring You Good Luck and Happiness And I Just Couldn't Wait to Wear It And Momma Blessed It With a Kiss My Coat of Many Colors That My Momma Made For Me Made Only From Rags But I Wore It So Proudly Although We Had no Money I Was Rich As I Could Be In My Coat of Many Colors My Momma Made For Me So With Patches On My Britches Holes in Both My Shoes In My Coat of Many Colors I Hurried Off to School Just to Find the Others Laughing And Making Fun of Me In My Coat of Many Colors My Momma Made For Me And Oh I Couldn't Understand It For I Felt I Was Rich And I Told Them of the Love My Momma Sewed in Every Stitch And I Told 'em All the Story Momma Told Me While She Sewed And How My Coat of Many Colors Was Worth More Than All Their Clothes But They Didn't Understand It And I Tried to Make Them See That One Is Only Poor Only If They Choose to Be Now I Know We Had no Money But I Was Rich As I Could Be In My Coat of Many Colors My Momma Made For Me Made Just For Me |

We can't always both be right We sometimes disagree But you've got the right to speak your mind An' it's the same with me When the anger's at an end And you want inside my arms again All you have to do to make it right is just Chorus: Touch your woman Touch your woman Everything's gonna be alright Touch your woman Touch your woman Let me know, let me know everything's alright There are times when i should be strong When i'm awfully weak When the sudden blows of life have brought me to my knees Woman needs a helpin' hand Needs someone to understand Needs the man she loves to help her stand, so Repeat chorus And when the busy day is done You lay by my side You know exactly what it takes to keep me satisfied You know exactly what i need and i always go to sleep in peace Thanking god that you belong to me, so Repeat chorus |

Copyright 1971 Tonight oh it's quiet in mission chapel and the music like his love has died away And I'm standing in the middle of these mem'ries Mission chapel mem'ries of our wedding day I see the rives still scattered all around that fall upon my satin wedding gown And the wedding bells that rang are silent now only mission chapel mem'ries all around Tonight I'm all alone at mission chapel and I'm thinking of my love so far away While I'm standing in the middle all these mem'ries Mission chapel mem'ries of our wedding day I see the rives still scattered all around that fall upon my satin wedding gown The gown I wore when I became his bride And now these mission chapel mem'ries fill my eyes Yes these mission chapel mem'ries fill my eyes |

We'd get up before sun-up to get the work done up
We'd work in the fields till the sun had gone down We've stood and we've cried as we have bristly watched A hailstorm a' beatin' our crops to the ground We've gone to bed hungry many nights in the past In the good old days when times were bad No amount of money could buy from me The memories that I have of then No amount of money could pay me To go back and live through it again I've seen daddy's hands break open and bleed And I've seen him work till he's stiff as a board An' I've seen momma layin' in suffer and sickness In need of a doctor we couldn't afford Anything at all was more than we had In the good old days when times were bad We've got up before and found ice on the floor Where the wind would blow snow through the cracks in the wall And I couldn't enjoy then, havin' a boyfriend I had nothing decent to wear at all So I long for a love that I never had In the good old days when times were bad No amount of money could buy from me The memories that I have of then No amount of money could pay me To go back and live through it again In the good old days when times were bad In the good old days when times were bad |

Sittin' on the front porch on a summer afternoon In a straightback chair on two legs, leans against the wall Watch the kids a' playin' with june bugs on a string And chase the glowin' fireflies when evenin' shadows fall: In my tennessee mountain home Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh In my tennessee mountain home Crickets sing in the fields near by Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads it's wings An' a songbird on a fence post sings a melody Walkin' home from church on a sunday with the one ya' love Just laughin', talkin', making future plans And when the folks ain't lookin', you might steal a kiss or two Sittin' in the porch swing, holdin' hands |

I woke up this morning in a strange place
I looked into the mirror at a strange face Then I looked for you but you could not be found And then I felt the lonely comin' down I walked across the room to the empty bed Saw the imprint on the pillow where you laid your head The presence of you still lingered all around And once again I felt the lonely comin' down Then I felt the lonely dripping down my face As I realized no one could take your place I wondered where the love had gone that we had found And then again I felt the lonely comin' down I wondered where the love had gone that we had found And again I felt the lonely comin' down Mmm... |

My life is like unto a bargain store And i may have just what you're lookin' for If you don't mind the fact that all the merchandise is used But with a little mending it could be as good as new Why you take for instance this old broken heart If you will just replace the missing parts You would be surprised to find how good it really is Take it and you never will be sorry that you did The bargain store is open come inside You can easily afford the price Love is all you need to purchase all the merchandise And i will guarantee you'll be completely satisfied Take these old used memories from the past And these broken dreams and plans that didn't last I'll trade them for a future, i can't use them anymore I've wasted love but i still have some more The bargain store is open come inside You can easily afford the price Love is all you need to purchase all the merchandise And i can guarantee you'll be completely satisfied My life is like unto a bargain store And i may have just what you're lookin' for If you don't mind the fact that all the merchandise is used With a little mendin' it could be as good as new The bargain store is open, come inside The bargain store is open, come inside |

Here you come again Just when I've begun to get myself together You waltz right in the door Just like you've done before And wrap my heart 'round your little finger. Here you come again Just when I'm about to make it work without you You look into my eyes and lie those pretty lies And pretty soon I'm wonderin' how I came to doubt you. All you have to do is smile that smile And there go all my defenses Leave it up to you and in a little while You're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses. Here you come again Lookin' better than a body has a right to And shakin' me up so that all I really know Is here you come again And here I go All you have to do is smile that smile And there go all my defenses Leave it up to you and in a little while You're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses. Here you come again Lookin' better than a body has a right to And shakin' me up so that all I really know Is here you come again And here I go here I go And here I go And here I go (here you come again) And here I go. |

Jump on outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen Pour myself a cup of ambition And yawn and stretch and try to come to life Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin' Out on the street the traffic starts jumpin' With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5 Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin' Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin' They just use your mind and they never give you credit It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it 9 to 5, for service and devotion You would think that I would deserve a fat promotion Want to move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me I swear sometimes that man is out to get me! They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter You're just a step on the boss-man's ladder But you got dreams he'll never take away You're in the same boat with a lotta your friends Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in 'n' the tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin' Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin' They just use your mind and you never get the credit It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it 9 to 5, yeah they got you where they want you There's a better life, and you dream about it, don't you? It's a rich man's game no matter what they call it And you spend your life puttin' money in his wallet 9 to 5, whoa what a way to make a livin' 'stead-a gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin' They just use your mind and they never give you credit It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it 9 to 5, yeah they done got you where they want you FADE There's a better life, and you dream about it, don't you? It's a rich man's game no matter what they call it |

Baby, when i met you there was peace unknown I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb I was soft inside, there was somethin' going on You do something to me that i can't explain Hold me closer and i feel no pain Every beat of my heart We got somethin' goin' on Tender love is blind It requires a dedication All this love we feel Needs no conversation We ride it together, ah-ah Makin' love with each other, ah-ah Chorus: Islands in the stream That is what we are No one in-between How can we be wrong Sail away with me to another world And we rely on each other, ah-ah From one lover to another, ah-ah I can't live without you if the love was gone Everything is nothin' if you got no one And you did walk in tonight Slowly loosen' sight of the real thing But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt Too deep in love and we got no way out And the message is clear This could be the year for the real thing No more will you cry Baby, i will hurt you never We start and end as one, in love forever We can ride it together, ah-ah Makin' love with each other, ah-ah Repeat chorus Tag: Sail away Oh, come sail away with me Repeat chorus Fade: Repeat chorus |
