There's a mighty battle coming and its well now on its way.
It'll be fought at armageddon, it shall be a sad, sad day.
In the book of revelation, words in chapter sixteen say
There'll be gathered there great armies for that battle on that day.

(refrain)
All the way from the gates of eden to the battle of armageddon
There's been trobles and tribulation, there'll be sorrow and despair.
He has said "ye not be troubled for these things shall come to pass."
Then your life will be eternal when you dwell with him at last.

Turn the pages of your bible, in st. matthew you will see,
Start with chapter twenty-four and read from one to thirty-three.
In our savior's blessed words he said on earth, he prophesised,
For he spoke of this great battle that is coming by and by.

(refrain)

There'll be nation against nation, there'll be war and rumor of war.
There'll be great signs in heaven, in the sun, the moon, the stars.
Oh, the hearts of been shall fail them, there'll be gnashing of the teeth.
Those who seek it will recieve it, mercy at the savior's feet.

(refrain)

Someday you'll [f] call my name and i won't [bb] answer
Someday you'll [f] reach for me i won't be [c7] there
For you've grown [f] tired of all the love i [bb] gave you
But some-[f] day you'll [c7] wish that i still [f] care.

[c7] all these years how i've [f] loved you
Still i [g] know i claim you for my [c7] own
Someday you'll [f] call my name and i won't [bb] answer
For some-[f] day you'll [c7] find yourself a-[f] lone.

When you hair has turned from gold to silver
And your eyes are dimmed by passing years
You'll remember darling what i told you
There'll be no one then to dry your tears.

There'll come a time in your life dear
When you'll need someone who will care
Someday you'll call my name and i won't answer
For someday you'll find that i'm not there.

[d] i've got a blue [a7] love in my [d] heart
What can i do, love, with my [a7] heart
It's got a [d] burnin', [g] yearnin' while we're a-[d] part
I've got a blue [a7] love in my [d] heart.

So [d7] blue the [g] nights, so [g7] blue the [d] days
Why don't you [g] write to [d] me and [a7] say;

You've [d] got a true [a7] love in your [d] heart
An "i'll come thru love" in your [a7] heart
And stop this [d] burnin', [g] yearnin' while we're a-[d] part
I've got a blue [a7] love in my [d] heart.

I've got an old flame in my heart
A solid-gold flame in my heart
I'm like a weepin'-willow, while we're apart
I've got a blue love in my heart.

What can i do, where can i go
I never knew i loved you so;

I've got a blue love in my heart
What can i do love with my heart
I'm like a weepin-willow, while we're apart
I got a blue love in my heart.

(e) just when i needed you, you left and went a- (a) way,
You made my life so (e) blue both night and (b7) day,
You (e) left me here behind, with a troubled worried (a) mind,
So broken hearted (e) too, just (b7) when i needed (e) you.

Chorus

I cried, i cried, i (a) prayed, lord, i (e) tried, to forget you,
And never call your (b7) name, what a (e) shame, what a shame,
You're the (a) one who was to (e) blame,
You're the (a) one who was un-(e) true, just (b7) when i needed (e) you.

You said, it's best we part, and never love again,
And 'tho it broke my heart, i won't complain,
You know i love you still, and dear i always will,
Altho you proved untrue, just when i needed you.

Ev'ry thing i loved, i lost, dear
Too many times i've watched my castles fall
My life is full of regretting
And now i'm so tired of it all.

From this world i'll soon be goin'
No one will miss me, after all
Up there, i pray i'll find contentment
But now i'm so tired of it all

And such a sight you'll never see,
Te - rese, annette and jole` - blon,

They have a good time, oh yes, oui!, oui!,
They come from st. charles, st. james, st. john,
It's saturday night on ba - you pon pon.

I [g] went to the country - just [c] the other day
To see [d7] my uncle bill and sorta [g] pass the time away
I asked him how he'd been - since [c] last, i'd passed his way
He rubbed his [d7] chin - here's what he had [g] to say.

"my wife's been sick - the [c] young'ns, too
And i'm [d7] durn near - down [g] with the flu
The cow's gone dry - and them [c] hens won't lay
But - [d7] we're still a-livin' - so ever'-[g] thing's okay.

The hogs took the cholera and they've all done died
The bees got mad - and they left the hive
The weevils got the corn and the rain rotted the hay
But - we're still a-livin' - so ever'thing's okay.

The porch rotted down - that's more expense
The durned old mule - he tore down the fence
The mortgage is due and - i can't pay
But - we're still a-livin' - so ever'thing's okay.

The cow broke in the field and eat up the beans
The durn rabbits - they got the turnip greens
And my ma-in-law just moved in to stay
But - we're still a-livin' - so ever'thing's okay.

My land's so poor - so hard and "yeller"
You have to set on a sack of fetilizer to raise an "umbreller"
And it rains out here - nearly ever' day
But - we're still a-livin' - so ever'thing's okay.

The well's gone dry and i have to tote the water
Up from the spring - about a mile and a quarter
My helper, he quit - for the lack of pay
But - we're still a-livin' - so ever'thing's okay.

The house it leaks - it needs a new top
When it rains - it wets ever'thing we got
The chimney fell down - just yesterday
But - we're still a-livin' - so ever'thing's okay.

The corn meals gone and the meat's run out
Got nothin' to kill to put in the smokehouse
The preacher's comin' sunday - to spend the day
But - we're still a-livin' - so ever'thing's okay.

The canned stuff's spoiled - else the jar's got broke
And all we got left is one old billy goat
We're gonna have a new baby about the first of may
But - we're still a-livin' - so ever'thing's okay.

My crop it rotted - in the ground
I asked for another loan but the banker turned me down
But - we're still a-livin' and we're prayin' for better days
So - after all, ever'thing's in purty good shape."

I went to church with my mom once and they had an evangelist visiting who told the congregation that he was once a drunk and was doing drugs. at a party, someone was playing hank williams and the song "ready to go home" started playing. he listened to it for a bit and he said that the way hank sang it made chill bumps come up and that he threw the bottle down and left. he said that one song totally changed his life. so here it is, enjoy!

Ready to go home

(e)there's comin' a day when the (a)world shall melt a(e)way
And jesus shall come to claim his (b7)own
No more (e)tears, no pain, no woe, in this (a)wicked world be(e)low
Then will you be (b7)ready to go (e)home

(a)will you be ready to go, ready to go home
To live with him up there around the (b7)throne
When he (e)says come unto me, will your (a)soul be clean and (e)free
Then will you be (b7)ready to go (e)home

In this world of greed and hate will you (a)wait til it's too (e)late
To claim the saviour for your (b7)own
For he's (e)coming someday, to (a)bear your soul a(e)way
Then will you be (b7)ready to go (e)home

As you travel day by day, (a)down life's long high(e)way
Are you on the road that leads to (b7)wrong
If you'll just (e)travel in his light and (a)pray both day and (e)night
Then you'll be (b7)ready to go (e)home

There's a [c] singin' waterfall

At the [d7] close of ev'ry [g7] day

Why the [g7] lord took her a-[c] way.

We'd meet there ev'ry ev'nin'

And we'd listen to the waters

To-[f] night my darlin's [c] sleepin'
By the [g7] singin' water-[c] fall.

Last night as i lay dreamin'
I heard my darlin' call
And then i went to meet her
By the singin' waterfall
She took me in her arms
Just like she used to do
And then i heard her whisper
We'll meet beyond the blue.

To travel a land of [a] hunger and [d] pain
And [g] now i can see the [c] end of my [g] journey
I'm going to [d] heaven a-[g] gain.

I leave you the day, to help all your neighbors
I leave you the night, to solemnly pray
So try to repent and ask for forgiveness
We'll meet up in heaven, someday.

Goodbye to this world, with all its sorrows
Goodbye to the fields, that i used to roam
I'm going away where, life is eternal
My shepherd is callin me home.

From out of the sky, he's coming to meet me
To wash all my sins and call me his own
His servants will bring, a ring for my finger
And never no more will i roam.

(it's spoken but the words are sed with a hint of beatto them, know wut i mean?)

Did you ever sit straight up in bed
With somethin' a circlin' round ya head
An ya swat at it as it wizzes by
And it's just one pesky little fly

You shake ya head an twitch ya nose
And settle down to sweep ya floors
And when ya just about to dose...fly trouble

(chorus)buzz buzz buzz goes that busy little fly
Buzz buzz buzz he's takin off an hide

You roll the paper up nice and tight
And wait around for him to light
But theirs a fly that's a liven right
Buzz buzz buzz

Now the toughest hide grows on a mule
Cause he's a bulky stuborn fool
He likes to look at yu and glare
An never even move a hair

But when his muscles start to twitch
An when his tail begins to swish
That mule ain't bothered with an itch...fly trouble

(chorus)buzz buzz buzz goes that busy little pest
Buzz buzz buzz that mule can't get no rest

He shakes his head an bats his eye
An kicks his heels up to the sky
Did you ever see a jass ack cry
Buzz buzz buzz

(band plays)

Now you pick a perfect night in june
When flowers are bloomin beneath the moon
And ya light of love is shinin' bright
An you tell ya self tonights the night

Ya brace ya self an ya courage grows
An on ya knees where you would propose
When somethin bights you on the nose...fly trouble

(chorus)buzz buzz buzz goes that busy little thing
Buzz buzz buzz you swat an loose the ring

You fan the air as he goes by
An stick ya finger in your eye
Hit everything except that fly
Buzz buzz buzz

Say hey, good lookin'. what ya got cookin'?
How's about cooking somethin' up with me?
Hey, sweet baby. don't you think maybe,
We can find us a brand new recipe?

I got a hot rod ford, and a two dollar bill;
And i know a spot right over the hill.
There's soda pop and the dancing's free
So if you wanna have fun, come along with me.

Hey, good lookin'. what ya got cookin'?
How's about cooking somethin' up with me?

I'm free and ready, so we can go steady.
How's about saving all your time for me?
No more lookin'. i know i been cookin'.
How's about keepin' steady company?

I'm gonna throw my date book over the fence,
And buy me one for five or ten cents
I'll keep it 'till it's covered with age
'cause i'm writin' your name down on every page.

Say hey, good lookin'. what ya got cookin'?
How's about cooking somethin' up with me?

Oh, i know not how to ease my mind,
Since she left a world of love be - hind,
Ever' time i see her passin' by,
All i do is hang my head and cry.

Golden love, oh, golden love you're gone,
But each broken dream still lingers on,
And my weary heart keeps askin' why,
All i do is hang my head and cry.

Foolish pride, oh, pride, what have you done,
You have made me lose my only one,
Now each time i see her passin' by,
All i do is hang my head and cry.

Met a lad while on my travels
Tryin' hard to play the game
Though his leg was very crippled
And he could not speak his name
Yet, he smiled in understandin'
Though life to him had been unkind
And as i watched, i cried in sorrow
Oh! lord his burdens are greater than mine.

I can speak my name aloud
Make my way among the crowd
Yes, his burdens are greater than mine.

Just by chance i passed a graveyard
I saw a young man kneelin' there
In his hand, there were some roses
On his lips, there was a prayer
On a stone, these words were written
'your soul is god's, your mem'ry mine'
And as i watched, i cried in sorrow
Oh! lord i see his burdens are greater than mine.

While [c] strolling thru a lovely [g7] garden
As day was drawing to a [c] close...[g7]
My [c] eyes be-[c7]-held a tragic [f] story
I [g7] saw a teardrop on a [c] rose.

It should have been a tear of gladness
But deep inside the sorrow shows
A trusting heart had just been broken
I saw a teardrop on a rose.

A sobbing tear that follows parting
Holds all the pain that sorrow knows
A false goodbye a life is shattered
There lies a story on a rose.

The tear will dry the rose will wither
When spring and winter comes and goes
I loved, i lost, my story ended
With just a teardrop on a rose.

I'm a rollin' stone all alone and lost
For a life of sin i have paid the cost
When i pass by all the people say
Just another guy on the lost highway

Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine
And a woman's lies makes a life like mine
O the day we met, i went astray
I started rolling down that lost highway

I was just a lad, nearly 22
Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you
And now i'm lost, too late to pray
Lord i take a cost, o the lost highway

Now boy's don't start to ramblin' round
On this road of sin are you sorrow bound
Take my advice or you'll curse the day
You started rollin' down that lost highway

I've seen those married people just up and say goodbye,
So get that marryin' out of your head, i'll be a bachelor 'til i die.

This freedom's mighty precious in this land of liberty,
I've seen what matrimony done to better men than me,
I don't mind keepin' company with the apple of my eye,
But keep that marryin' out of your head, i'll be a bachelor 'til i die.

(f) honey do you love me, huh, honey do you love me, huh,
(bb) do you want to marry, got no time to tarry,
(f) honey do you love me, huh, (c7) quit your hesitatin',
I'm tired of waitin', honey do you love me, (f) huh.

Honey won't you hold me tight, honey won't you hold me tight,
That ole moon above, was just made for love,
Honey won't you hold me tight, start your turtle dovein'
I need a little lovin', honey won't you hold me tight.

I talked with a stranger, so sad and alone.
His heart was tormented, tattered and torn
He told me a story,of sorrow and bold
His heart went to heaven,at the first fall of snow

He spooke of his angel, a dear baby girl
He loved every foot tail, he loved every curl
But she went to heaven,just one year ago
The angels came for her, at the first fall of snow

He still has a dolly,that she used to love
He held and caressed it, and gazed up above
He whispered my darlin, your waiting i know
I'll bring you your dolly, at the first fall of snow

And there as i listened, my eyes filled with tears
I knew she was full fild, in happier years
His frail body trembled, he spoke soft and low
I'll bring you your dolly, at the first fall of snow

I just couldn't tell him how i felt inside
My heart was so heavy,my feelings too high
He smilled as we parted,cause he didn't know
That we lost our darlin, at the first fall of snow

[c] no one will ever know [f] my heart is [c] breaking
Al[g]though a million teardrops start to [c] flow
I'll cry myself to sleep [f] and wake up [c] smiling
I'll [g] miss you but no one will ever [c] know

I'll [g] tell them we grew tired of each [c] other
And [d] realized our dreams could never [g] be
I'll [c] even make believe [f] i never [c] loved you
Then no [g] one will ever know the truth but [c] me

[c]no one will ever know [f] how much i'm [c] pineing
Each [g] time the past comes back to haunt me [c] so
No one will ever see [f] the tears i'm [c] hiding
You've [g] hurt me but no one will ever [c] know

I'll [g] tell then i found true love with [c] another
That [d] i was glad the day you set me [g] free
I'll [c] even make believe [f] i never [c] loved you
Then no [g] one will ever know the truth but [c] me

(c) one time you know i (g7) loved you (c) true,
There was (g7) nothing i wouldn't (c) do,
But you have treated me so (f) bad,
You killed (c) all the (g7) love i ever (c) had.


You leave me alone and run around,
You were the talk of the town,
It made you glad to see me sad,
You killed all the love i ever had.


No one knows the torture i went through,
Loving you and knowing you were untrue,
It's over now and i'm so glad,
You killed all the love i ever had.


All these years i've set and cried,
A thousand times my poor soul died,
You have treated me so bad,
You killed all the love i ever had.

passing by a lonesome graveyard
Everything i love is gone
Weeping as they lay my darling
Neath a cold gray tomb of stone

In this world i`m left to wander
With no one to call my own
While my precious darling`s sleeping
Neath a cold gray tomb of stone

Out there in that lonesome graveyard
She is sleeping all alone
And i burried my heart with her
Neath a cold gray tomb of stone

Skies above are dark and stormy
All the sunshine,all is gone
For the while my love is sleeping
Neath a cold gray tomb of stone

My heart is dead and yet i`m living
Traveling through this world alone
I wish that i was with my darling
Neath a cold gray tomb of stone

[d] only a tramp was lazarus sad [g] fate

He was only a [d] tramp found [a7] dead on the [d] street. [d] he was some mother's darlin', he was some mother's [g] son
Once he was [a7] fair and once he was [d] young

But they left him to [d] die like a [a7] tramp on the [d] street. jesus, he died on calvary's tree
He shed his life's blood for you and for me
They pierced his side and then his feet
And they left him to die like a tramp on the street. he was mary's own darlin', he was god's chosen son
Once he was fair and once he was young
Mary, she rocked him, her darlin' to sleep
But they left him to die like a tramp on the street. if jesus should come and knock on your door
For a place to come in, or bread from your store
Would you welcome him in, or turn him away
Then the god's would deny you on the great judgement day.

(e) i was strollin' one day, in a lonely graveyard,
When a voice from the tomb, seemed to (b7) say,
I once (e) lived as you live, walked and talked as you talk,
But from earth i was (b7) soon called a- (e) way.

Chorus

(e) oh, those tombs, ("oh those tombs"),
Lonely tombs, ("lonely tombs "),
Seemed to say in a low gentle (b7) tone,
Oh how (e) sweet, ("oh how sweet"),
Is the rest, ("is the rest"),
In our beautiful, (b7) heavenly (e) home.

Every voice from the tomb, seemed to whisper and say,
Livin' man you must soon follow me,
And i thought as i gazed, on that cold marble slab,
What a sad lonesome place that must be.

Repeat chorus

I then came to the place, where my mother did lay,
And her voice, soft and low, from the tomb,
It said, son i'm at rest, with the savior above,
I am safe in my heavenly home.

Repeat chorus

(c)why should i cry, i (g7)never done you wrong
I kept my vows you left me all a(c)lone
You told me you loved me, you (f)told me a lie
(c)why should i pay, tell me (g7)why should i (c)cry

You knew i worshipped you, right from the start
I gave you my love, never thought that we'd part
You didn't care enough, to even say goodbye
Why should i pay, tell me why should i cry

You know i miss you, now that you're gone
Life can be sad when you're livin' all alone
But darlin' i'll forget you, your memory will die
Why should i pay, tell me why should i cry

I'm sorry for you, my friend

You laughed inside each time she cried
You tried to make her blue
She tagged along through right and wrong
Because she worshipped you
You know that you're the one to blame
There's no use to pretend
Today's the day you start to pay
I'm sorry for you, my friend.

Today as she walked arm in arm
At someone else's side
It made you stop and realize
That time has turned the tide
You should have known you'd be alone
'cause cheaters never win
You tried and lost, now pay the cost
I'm sorry for you, my friend.

This dog house here is mighty small
But it's better than no house at all
So ease it on over (move it on over)
Drag it on over (move it on over)

(g) i dreamed that the great judgement (c) morning,
Had (g) dawned, and the trumpet had (d7) blown,
I (g) dreamed that all nations had (c) gathered,
To (g) judgement be- (d7) fore the white (g) throne.
From the throne came a bright shining (c) angel,
And he (g) stood on the land and the (d7) sea,

They (g) prayed, but their (d7) prayers were too (g) late.

The rich man was there but his money,
Had melted and vanished away,
A pauper stood there in the judgement,
His debts were too many to pay.
The great man was there, but his greatness,
When death came, was left far behind,
The angel that opened the records,
No trace of his greatness could find.

Repeat chorus

The widow was there and the orphan,
God heard and remembered their cries,
No sorrow in heaven forever,
God wiped all the tears from their eyes.
The gambler was there and the drunkard,
And they who had sold them the drink,
With people who gave them the license,
Together in hell they did sink.

Repeat chorus

The mortal man to the judgement,
But self rightousness would not do,
For the men who had crucified jesus,
Had passed off as mortal men too.
And the souls that had put off salvation,
Not tonight i'll get saved by and by,
No time now to think of religion,
At last they had found time to die.

Dress up in your frock of yeller
I'll look swell but you'll look sweller
Setting the woods on fire

We'll take in all the honkey tonks

We'll show the folks a brand new dance

You be daffy and i'll be dilly
We'll order up to bowls of chili

I'll gas up my hot rod stocker
We'll get hotter than a poker
You'll be broke but i'll be broker
Tonight we're setting the woods on fire

We'll sit close to one another
Up the one street and down the other
We'll have a time o brother
Setting the woods on fire

We'll put aside a little time
To fix a flat or two
My tires and tubes are doing fine
But the air is showing through

You clap hands and i'll start bowing
We'll do all the laws allowin'
Tomorrow i'll be right back plowing

A little girl prayed at the close of the day,
Cause her daddy had gone far away,
On her little face was a look of despair,
I stood there and listened, and i heard this prayer
My mommie says daddy has brought us to shame
And i'm never no more to mention his name
Lord take me and lead me and hold to my hand
Oh heavenly father help me understand

[recitation]
You know friends i wonder--
Just how many homes are broken tonight
And just how many tears are shed
By some little word of anger
That never should have been said

I'd like to tell you a story
Of a family i once knew.
We'll call them mary and william
And their little daughter sue

Now mary was just a plain mother
And bill was just a usual dad
And they had their little family quarrels
(like everybody else)
But neither one really got mad

Then one day something happened
It was nothing of course
But one word led to another
And the last word led to a divorce

Now here were two grown up people
Who failed to use common sense
They strengthened their own selfish pride
At little sue's expense

You know she didn

Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You're grow cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

Take these tears from my eyes and let me see
Just a spark of the love that use to be
If you love somebody new let me me find a new love too
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

Give my heart just a word of sympathy
Be as fair to my heart as you can be
Then if you no longer care for the love being there
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You're grow cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

If you can't treat me right then get [g] out of my [d] life
Go and leave me [a] alone with the [d] blues

[d] oh you stayed by my side till you [g] got all my [d] money
Now my clothes are all ragged and torn
[d] since the day that we met you've been [g] nothin' but [d] worry
Lord i wish i had [a] never been [d] born

Run [g] along run along don't you [d] pester me further
I [g] know that you'll never be [d] true
If you can't treat me right then get [g] out of my [d] life
Go and leave me [a] alone with these [d] blues

[d] you may ramble and ramble this [g] whole wide world [d] over
But don't trust any woman you meet
[d] they won't leave you alone till they've [g] got your last [d] dollar
Then you're just like the [a] dirt beneath their [d] feet

Run [g] along run along don't you [d] pester me further
For [g] i know that you'll never be [d] true
If you can't treat me right then get [g] out of my [d] life
Go and leave me [a] alone with these [d] blues

I [a] travelled from [a7] texas to [d] old louis-[a] anne
Thru valleys, o'er mountains and [e7] plains
Both [a] footsore and [a7] weary i [d] rested a-[a] while
On the [e7] banks of the old ponchar-[a] train.

The fairest young maiden that i ever saw
Passed by as it started to rain
We both found a shelter beneath the same tree
On the banks of the old ponchartrain.

We hid from the shower an hour or so
She asked me how long i'd remain
I told her that i'd spend the rest of my days
On the banks of the old ponchartrain.

I just couldn't tell her that i ran away
From jail on a west texas plain
I prayed in my heart i would never be found
On the banks of the old ponchartrain.

Then one day a man put his hand on my arm
And said i must go west again
I left her alone without saying goodbye
On the banks of the old ponchartrain.

Tonight as i sit here alone in my cell
I know that she's waiting in vain
I'm hoping and praying someday to return
To the banks of the old ponchartrain.

Chorus
A [f] tongue can accuse and carry bad [c] news
The [f] seeds of distrust, it will [c] sow
But [f] unless you've made no mistakes in your [c] life
Be careful of [g7] stones that you [c] throw.

(spoken)
[c] a neighbor was passing my [f] garden one time
[c] she stopped and i knew right away [g7]
That it was gossip, not flowers, she had on her mind [c]
And this is what i heard my neighbor say:

[c] "that girl down the street [f] should be run from our midst
[c] she drinks and she talks quite a lot [g7]
She knows not to speak to my child or to me." [c]
My neighbor then smiled and i thought:

Chorus

(spoken)
A car speeded by and the screamin' of brakes
A sound that made my blood chill
For my neighbor's one child had been pulled from the path
And saved by a girl lying still.

The child was unhurt and my neighbor cried out:
"oh! who was that brave girl so sweet?"
I covered the crushed, broken body and said:
"the bad girl who lived down the street."

Oh! [d] plea-ease - don't let me [g] love you
Just be-[d] cause i'm feelin' [a7] blue
And [d] plea-ease - don't let me [g] kiss you
'cause i [d] know you-[a7] ll be un-[d] true.

Because you're [a7] sweet dear, i want to [d] love you
[e7] plea-ease - stay away from my [a7] heart
And [d] plea-ease - don't let me [g] love you
'cause i [d] know you-[a7] ll break my [d] heart.

Oh! plea-ease - don't call me darlin'
When i know you don't love me
And plea-ease - don't whisper sweetheart
For i know it just can't be

When i'm lonely, i want you only
Where is the dream i once knew
Oh! plea-ease - don't let me love you
'cause i know you'll be untrue.
