1. _ Oh, Linda
Oh linda you done me wrong
I'm gonna sing you a goodbye song
Sing a song that's most unkind
I ain't even gonna try to change your mind
Oh linda you made me grieve
I feel like i could die
Look out baby the moon is falling
Down from your sky
Oh gal don't you say goodbye
Now that i need you by my side
Love me now or be on your way
If you go be gone to stay
I saw linda late last night
Dressed for town she looked alright
Painted eyes and lips like wine
Walkin' on down with a friend of mine
Oh gal don't you say so long
I feel like i could die
Look out baby the moon is falling
Down from your sky
Oh gal don't you be unkind
I ain't even gonna try to change your mind
Love me now or be on your way
If you go be gone to stay
Oh linda you made me grieve
I feel like i could die
Look out baby the moon is falling
Down from your sky
Oh gal don't you say goodbye
Now that i need you by my side
You can have everything i own
Take everything but a-come on home
Oh gal don't you say so long
I feel like i could die
Look out baby the moon is falling
Down from your sky
Oh gal don't you do me wrong
I'm gonna sing you a goodbye song
Sing a song that's most unkind
I ain't even gonna try to change your mind

2. _ For Lovin' Me
That's what you get for lovin' me
That's what you get for lovin' me
Ev'ry thing you had is gone
As you can see
That's what you get for lovin' me
I ain't the kind to hang around
With any new love that i found
'cause movin' is my stock in trade
I'm movin' on
I won't think of you when i'm gone.
So don't you shed a tear for me
B'cause i ain't the love you thought i'd be
I got a hundred more like you
So don't be blue
I'll have a thousand 'fore i'm through
Now there you go you're cryin' again
Now there you go you're cryin' again
But then someday when your poor heart
Is on the mend
Well i just might pass this way again
That's what you get for lovin' me
That's what you get for lovin' me
Everything you had is gone
As you can see
That's what you get for lovin' me
That's what you get for lovin' me

3. _ Changes
Sit by my side come as close as the air
Sharin' a memory of grey
And wander in my words
And dream about the pictures that i play
Of changes
Green leaves of summer turn red in the fall
To brown and to yellow they fade
And then they have to die
Trapped within the circle time parade
Of changes
Moments of magic will glow in the night
All fears of the forest are gone
For when the morning breaks
They're swept away by golden drops of dawn
Of changes
Passions will part to a warm melody
As fires will sometimes turn cold
Like petals in the wind
We're puppets to the silver strings of souls
Of changes
Your tears will be trembling now we're somewhere else
One last cup of wine we will pour
I'll kiss you one more time
And leave you on the rolling river shore
Of changes

4. _ Pride Of Man
Turn around go back down go back the way you came
Can't you see the flash of fire ten times brighter than the day
And behold the mighty city broken in the dust again
Oh god the pride of man broken in the dust again
Turn around go back down go back the way you came
Babylon is laid to waste egypt's buried in her shame
Their mighty men are beaten down the kings are fallen in the ways
Oh god the pride of man broken in the dust again
Turn around go back down go back the way you came
Terror is on everyside though the leaders are dismayed
Those who put their faith in fire in fire their faith shall be repaid
Oh god the pride of man broken in the dust again
Turn around go back down go back the way you came
Shout a warning to the nations that the sword of god is raised
On babylon that mighty city rich in treasure wide in fame
It shall cause thy towers to fall and make it be a pyre of flame
Oh god the pride of man broken in the dust again
Thou that dwell on many water rich in treasure wide in fame
Bow unto a god of gold thy pride of might shall be thy shame
Oh god the pride of man broken in the dust again
And only god can lead the people back into the faith again
Thy holy mountain be restored thy mercy on thy people lord

5. _ Long River
Where the long river flows
It flows by my window
Where the tall timber grows
It grows 'round my door
Where the mountains meet the sky
And the white clouds fly
Where the long river flows
By my window
There's a tiny bird that calls
And he calls by my window
There's a lonely tear that falls
And it falls 'round my door
But when the sun is high
There's no time to cry
Where the long river flows
By my window
Now if only you could see
The closin' of the day
If only you could be
Where the dawn breaks away
By the white cascade
Oh down in the glade
Where the long river flows
By my window
Well when this land was made
It was made full of wonder
But one woman's love
I can't understand
And i'd give it all to you
If her love were true
Where the long river flows
By my window
Where the long river flows
By my window

6. _ The Way I Feel
The way i feel is like a robin
Whose babes have flown to come no more
A tall oak tree alone and cryin'
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare
Now a woman lord is like a young bird
And the tall oak tree is a young man's heart
Among its boughs you'll find her nesting
When the nights are cool she's warm and dry
Your coat of green will protect her
Her wings will grow your love will too
But all too soon your mighty branches
Will cease to hold her she'll fly from you
Now the way i feel is like a robin
Whose babes have flown to come no more
A tall oak tree alone and cryin'
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare

7. _ Peaceful Waters
The dead leaves of autumn
That cling so desperately
Must fly before the cold october winds
Their simple lives have ended
Must they be born to die again
Oh may the light of freedom shine
For all the world to see
And peace and joy to all mankind
Through all the years to be
For soon the leaves will die
And the long hard wind will blow
May this world find a resting place
Where the peaceful waters flow

8. _ Early Mornin' Rain
In the early morning rain
With a dollar in my hand
With an achin' in my heart
And my pockets full of sand
I'm a long way from home
And i miss my loved ones so
In the early morning rain
With no place to go
Out on runway number nine
Big seven-o-seven set to go
But i'm stuck here in the grass
Where the cold wind blows
Now the liquor tasted good
And the women all were fast
Well there she goes my friend
Well she's rollin' down at last
Hear the mighty engines roar
See the silver bird on high
She's away and westward bound
Far above the clouds she'll fly
Where the mornin' rain don't fall
And the sun always shines
She'll be flyin' o'er my home
In about three hours time
This old airport's got me down
It's no earthly good to me
'cause i'm stuck here on the ground
As cold and drunk as i can be
You can't jump a jet plane
Like you can a freight train
So i'd best be on my way
In the early morning rain
You can't jump a jet plane
Like you can a freight train
So i'd best be on my way
In the early morning rain

9. _ I'm Not Sayin'
I'm not sayin' that i love you
I'm not sayin' that i'll care if you love me
I'm not sayin' that i'll care
I'm not sayin' i'll be there when you want me
I can't give my heart to you
Or tell you that i'll sing your name up to the sky
I can't lay the promise down
That i'll always be around when you need me
Now i may not be alone each time you see me
Along the street or in a small cafe
But still i won't deny or mistreat you
Baby if you let me have my way
I'm not sayin' i'll be sorry
For all the things that i might say that make you cry
I can't say i'll always do
The things you want me to
I'm not sayin' i'll be true but i'll try
Now i may not be alone each time you see me
Or show up when i promised that i would
But still i won't deny or mistreat you
Baby if you love me like you should
I'm not sayin' i'll be sorry
For all the things that i might say that make you cry
I can't say i'll always do
The things you want me to
I'm not sayin' i'll be true but i'll try
I can't say i'll always do
The things you want me to
I'm not sayin' i'll be true but i'll try

10. _ Sixteen Miles
Early in the morning when the dew is on
Each and every rose bud you will find me gone
So knock me down and pick me up
And knock me down again
Break my heart steal my gold
And slander my good name
Seven lonely hours on the morning train
Takes me to a place where i won't come back again
Seven lonely pullmans speedin' down the line
Takin' me away from an old love of mine
Sixteen miles to seven lakes way up among the pines
In some hidden valley where the twirlin' river twines
Where the fish swim up and down
And the sparklin' water falls
Where the thunder rolls
And the lonely puma calls
Somewhere on the mountain i'll take another name
Rid my mind of memories and start my life again
Somewhere in the wilderness
I'll build a cabin small
Then forget so i
Won't remember you at all

11. _ Ribbon Of Darkness
Ribbon of darkness over me
Since my true love walked out the door
Tears i never had before
Ribbon of darkness over me
Clouds a-atherin' o'er my head
That kill the day and hide the sun
That shroud the night when day is done
Ribbon of darkness over me
Rain is falling on the meadow
Where once my love and i did lie
Now she is gone from the meadow
My love goodbye
Ribbon of darkness over me
Where once the world was young as spring
Where flowers did bloom and birds did sing
Ribbon of darkness over me
Here in this cold room lyin'
Don't want to see no one but you
Lord i wish i could be dyin'
To forget you
Oh how i wish your heart could see
How mine just aches and breaks all day
Come on home and take away
This ribbon of darkness over me

12. _ Rich Man's Spiritual
Gonna but me a long white robe
Yes lord to help me home
I'm gonna buy me a long white robe
Yes lord to get me home
And when i get my heavenly gown
And i lay my burden down
I'm gonna get me a long white robe to get me home
I'm gonna buy me two golden slippers
Yes lord to walk me home
I'm gonna buy me two golden slippers
Yes lord to walk me home
And when i get my slippers of gold
Then the lord will have my soul
I'm gonna get me two golden slippers to get me home
I'm gonna buy me two wings of silver
Yes lord to fly me home
I'm gonna buy me two wings of silver
Yes lord to fly me home
And when i get my silvery wings
Then an angel choir will sing
I'm gonna get me two wings of silver to get me home
I'm gonna buy me a poor man's trouble
Yes lord to help me home
I'm gonna buy me a poor man's trouble
Yes lord to help me home
And when i get my trouble and woe
Then homeward i will go
I'm gonna get a little trouble and woe to get me home
I'm gonna find me a smilin' angel
Yes lord to lead me home
I'm gonna get me a smilin' angel
Yes lord to lead me home
And when he takes me by the hand
I know the lord will understand
I'm gonna get me a smilin' angel to lead me home
I'm gonna get me a smilin' angel to lead me home

13. _ Steel Rail Blues
well i got my mail late last night
A letter from a girl who found the time
To write
To her lonesome boy somewheres in the
Night
She sent me a railroad ticket too
To take me to her lovin' arms
And the big steel rail gonna carry me
Home to the one i love
Well i bin out here many long days
I haven't found a place that i could call
My own
Not a two bit bed to lay my body on
I bin stood up i bin shook down
I bin dragged into the sand
And the big steel rail gonna carry me
Home to the one i love
Ooooh oooo oo whu hu hoo
Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo oo
Well i bin up tight most every night
Walkin' along the streets of this old town
Not a friend around to tell my troubles to
My good old car she done broke down
'cause i drove it into the ground
And the big steel rail gonna carry me
Home to the one i love
Well i look over yonder across the plain
The big drive wheels are poundin' along
The ground
Gonna get on board and i'll be homeward
Bound
Now i ain't had a home cooked meal
And lord i need one now
And the big steel rail gonna carry me
Home to the one i love
Now here i am with my hat in hand
Standin' on the broad highway will you
Give a ride
To a lonesome boy who missed the train
Last night
I went in town for one last round
And i gambled my ticket away
And the big steel rail won't carry me
Home to the one i love

14. _ The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
The first time ever i saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the night and the empty skies my love
To the night and the empty skies
The first time ever i kissed your mouth
I felt the earth turn in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love
That was there at my command
The first time ever i lay with you
And felt your heart beat close to mine
I thought our joy would fill the earth
And would last 'till the end of time my love
And would last 'till the end of time
The first time ever i saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the night and the empty skies my love
To the night and the empty skies
