CD1-1 - CANADA’S KING OF THE YODELERS – sung by Smilin’ Slim Rodgers

MANY COUNTRIES WILL BOAST OF THEIR SINGERS,
AND RAVE ‘BOUT THEIR GLORY AND FAME
BUT CANADA TOO HAS ONE OF HIGH RENOWN
WILF CARTER IS HIS NAME

HE’S CANADA’S KING OF THE YODELERS
AND THE BEST ONE, I’M HERE TO TELL YOU,
AND THOUGH SOME MY TRY, AS THE YEARS WILL ROLL BY
HIS YODEL NO-ONE CAN OUTDO

FROM THE EAST COAST TO THE PLAINS OF ALBERTA
HE’S BEEN HEARD BY MILLIONS AFAR
SINGING AND YODELING HIS SONGS OF THE WEST
AND STRUMMING HIS OLD GUITAR

AND HE’S FAMOUS ‘WAY DOWN ‘CROSS THE BORDER
MONTANA CLAIMS HIM AS ITS OWN
ON THE HIGHROAD ALONE, WHEREVER YOU GO
YOU’LL HEAR HIS YODELING SONG

OH CANADA’S PROUD OF ITS YODELERS
WHERE MILLIONS IDOLIZE HIS NAME
AND IN ALL OF OUR HEARTS THERE WILL LINGER THROUGH THE YEARS
A GAY WILF CARTER REFRAIN

EVEN WHEN HE FIRST MADE SOME RECORDS
OVER OTHERS HE THEN REIGNED HIGH
THEN HIS BIG CHANCE CAME, HE YODELED TO FAME
WITH A SWISS MOONLIGHT MELODY

HE’S WRITTEN SONGS ABOUT HEARTACHES
AND HE’S WRITTEN SONGS LIVE AND GAY
OF HOBOES AND SWEETHEARTS AND LULLABY TUNES
HIS RECORDS ARE PLAYED EVERY DAY

NOW I HEAR A SOUND IN THE STILLNESS
IT’S WILF CARTER YODELING SO CLEAR
IT’S CANADA’S KING OF THE YODELERS
AND MAY HE BE FOR MANY MORE YEARS!
 

CD1-2 - SWEET THANG – sung by Sophia Wolf and L’il Andy
    recorded by Nat Stuckey, also by Ernest Tubb and Loretta Lynn as a duet

    (VERSE 1 - MAN SINGS)
I SLIPPED OUT OF THE HOUSE ABOUT SUNDOWN,
WHILE MAMA WAS WASHIN' HER HAIR
AND YOU CAN BET YOUR BOTTOM DOLLAR SHE'LL BE LOOKIN' FOR ME,
WHEN SHE FINDS OUT THAT I'M NOT THERE
AND IF SHE CATCHES HER SWEET THING RUNNIN' AROUND
I KNOW THERE'LL BE THE DEVIL TO PAY
SHE'LL COME BLOWIN' LIKE CYCLONE THROUGH THAT DOOR
AND I CAN HEAR EXACTLY WHAT SHE'LL SAY

    (CHORUS - WOMAN SINGS)
WELL, HAS ANYBODY HERE SEEN SWEET THING?
I GOT A NOTION HE'LL BE HEADED THIS’ A WAY
'CAUSE WHEN MY SWEET THING'S OUT TOMCATTIN' AROUND
HE FINDS A SANDBOX LIKE THIS TO PLAY
WELL, I'LL TELL ALL YOU (1: CATS AND CUTIES) (2: BARROOM ROSIES)
IF MY SWEET THING SHOULD HAPPEN BY
YOU'D BETTER TAKE MY ADVICE, AND IF YOU BLINK MORE THAN TWICE,
YOU BETTER HAVE SOMETHIN' IN YOUR EYE!

    (VERSE 2 - MAN SINGS)
I GIVE MY BABY ALL MY MONEY ON PAYDAY,
'CEPT A LITTLE SHE DON'T KNOW THAT I GOT
'CAUSE THERE'S A CUTE LITTLE WAITRESS AT THE CORNER CAFE,
AND SHE SEEMS TO LIKE ME QUITE A LOT
WE WAS SITTIN' IN THE BACK BOOTH HAVIN' A BALL
SHE'S BELIEVIN' EVERY WORD THAT I SAID,
WHEN THE DOOR BLEW OPEN, MAMA WALKED IN,
YELLIN' LOUD ENOUGH TO WAKE THE DEAD
 

CD1-3 – JOINT BANK ACCOUNT – sung by Craig Morrison
     by Bill Lancaster

1) SHE WASN’T SATISFIED AFTER GIVIN’ TO HIM HER LOVE
SO SHE GAVE MY MONEY FREELY,  LIKE THE RAINS FALL FROM ABOVE
SHE DIDN’T LEAVE ME ANY,  NOT EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT
THAT’S WHAT I GOT  FOR HAVIN’ A JOINT BANK ACCOUNT

 Chorus
NOW SHE LEFT WITH HIM AND ALL MY MONEY
WELL, THE JOKE’S ON ME … I’M NOT LAUGHIN’, HONEY
SO I MADE MYSELF A PROMISE,  THE DAY WHEN MY CHEQUE BOUNCED
I’LL NEVER HAVE ANOTHER JOINT BANK ACCOUNT!

2) I WAS PLANNIN’ OUR FUTURE, SAVING FOR US TOO
I TRUSTED HER  TOO MUCH,  I SEE … NOT KNOWIN’ WHAT SHE’D DO
BUT SHE PLAYED ME FOR A SUCKER, THE MONEY’S ALL SPENT NOW
THAT’S WHAT I GET FOR HAVING … A JOINT BANK ACCOUNT!
 

CD1-4 - TRYING TO GET TO YOU  - sung by Susie Arioli

I'VE BEEN TRAVELING OVER MOUNTAINS
EVEN THROUGH THE VALLEY, TOO
I'VE BEEN TRAVELING NIGHT AND DAY
I'VE BEEN RUNNING ALL THE WAY
BABY, TRYING TO GET TO YOU

EVER SINCE I READ YOUR LETTER
WHERE YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME TRUE
WELL, I'VE BEEN TRAVELING NIGHT AND DAY
I'VE BEEN RUNNING ALL THE WAY
BABY, TRYING TO GET TO YOU

WHEN I READ YOUR LOVING LETTER
LORD, MY HEART BEGAN TO SING
THERE WERE MANY MILES BETWEEN US
BUT THEY DIDN'T MEAN A THING

I JUST HAD TO REACH YOU, BABY
IN SPITE OF ALL THAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH
I BEEN TRAVELING NIGHT AND DAY
I KEPT RUNNING ALL THE WAY
BABY, TRYING TO GET TO YOU

WELL IF I HAD TO DO IT OVER
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'D DO
I WOULD TRAVEL NIGHT AND DAY
AND STILL RUN ALL THE WAY
BABY, TRYING TO GET TO YOU

WELL, THERE'S NOTHING THAT COULD HOLD ME
OR THAT COULD KEEP ME AWAY FROM YOU
WHEN YOUR LOVING LETTER TOLD ME
THAT YOU REALLY LOVED ME TRUE

LORD ABOVE ME KNOWS I LOVE YOU
IT WAS HE WHO BROUGHT ME THROUGH
WHEN MY WAY WAS DARK AS NIGHT
HE WOULD SHINE HIS BRIGHTEST LIGHT
WHEN I WAS TRYING TO GET TO YOU
 

CD1-5 – TRAVELING BLUES – sung by Katie Moore
     by Jimmie Rodgers, also recorded by Lefty Frizzell

I HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT
I THOUGHT MY GOOD GAL HAD GONE
WHEN I WOKE THIS MORNING
SHE REALLY HAD DONE ME WRONG
I KNOW IT'S NOT FAIR
BUT MY GOOD GAL HAS DONE CAUGHT AIR

 CHORUS
I'M GOING AWAY LEAVING TODAY
I'M GONNA BRING MY BABY BACK
IF THAT AIN'T THE DRIVER
DON'T JUMP THE RAILROAD TRACK
I'LL TAKE HER FROM THAT MAN
GONNA BRING HER HOME IF I CAN

MY GAL'S BEEN TRIFFLIN' ROUND
BOUT A WEEK I KNOW
SEVERAL OF MY FRIENDS
JUST TOLD ME SO AND SO
SHE'S FOUND A NEW MAN
NOW I CAN UNDERSTAND

CHORUS

WELL IT'S TRUE MY BABY'S GONE
I KNOW IT WON'T BE LONG
SOON WE'LL BE ON THAT TRAIN
MY BABY'LL BE HOME AGAIN
SHE'S BEEN TRIFFLIN' ROUND
BUT NOW SHE'S TURNED HIM DOWN

CHORUS
 

CD1–6 – GAMBLING BAR ROOM BLUES – sung by Jitterbug Swing
    credited to Jimmie Rodgers and Shelly Lee Alley, but actually an old folk ballad from Great Britain

I WENT DOWN TO THE CORNER, JUST TO MEET MY GAL,
SAW HER STANDING ON THE SIDEWALK, TALKING TO MY PAL
I STROLLED BACK TO THE BAR ROOM, TO GET ANOTHER DRINK OF GIN
NEXT THING I WAS REELIN', ROCKING AND DRUNK AGAIN

REFRAIN:  HAY-EE-HAY-HOO-A-HA-HA OO-HOO-HEY-HO
GAMBLIN' BAR ROOM BLUES

I KEPT DRINKING GIN AND LIQUEUR, TO WAY UP IN THE NIGHT,
(THEN) MY PAL CAME TO THE BAR ROOM, WE HAD AN AWFUL FIGHT
I REACHED DOWN FOR MY RAZOR, AND WE KNOCKED AROUND,
BUT WHEN I PULLED MY PISTOL, I QUICKLY SMOKED HIM DOWN

    Chorus:
I WENT TO SEE MY BABY, AND MET HER ON THE WAY,
TOLD HER I HAD TO LEAVE HER, TOLD HER I COULDN'T STAY
I WENT DOWN TO THE STATION, STOPPED IN AT THE BAR,
THERE I MET A POLICEMAN, RIDING IN A MOTOR CAR

WE BOTH DRANK LOTS OF LIQUOR, THAT FLAT FOOTED COP AND I,
I THOUGHT HE'D NEVER LEAVE ME, LORD, I THOUGHT I'D DIE
MY BABY CAME IN TO JOIN US, AND IT BEGAN TO RAIN,
THEN I HAD TO HURRY, HURRY, TO CATCH THAT MIDNIGHT TRAIN

    Chorus

I LAID MY HEAD ON THE BALLROOM DOOR, I’LL NEVER GET DRUNK ANYMORE
I FOUND MY WATCH AND MY GOLDEN CHAIN, I FOUND MY BABY’S DIAMOND RING
POLICE, POLICE, POLICE, YOU'RE JUST AS DRUNK AS ME,
I GRABBED THAT ALL EIGHT-WHEELER, AND WENT TO THE DEEP BLUE SEA
 

CD1-7 – NO MORE NOTHING – sung by Slim Sandy (The One Man Band)

NO MORE RUNNIN' AROUND AT NIGHT
NO MORE DRINKIN' AND GETTIN' TIGHT
NO MORE NOTHIN' BUT GETTING' YOU OFF MY MIND!
NO MORE TURNIN' MY HAIR TO GREY
NO MORE WORRYIN MY SWEET LIFE AWAY
NO MORE NOTHIN' BUT GETTING' YOU OFF MY MIND

I GOT MYSELF A BRAND NEW BABY
GONNA FRY MY STEAKS AND MAKE ME GRAVY
NO MORE TEARDROPS  WILL I SEE
NO MORE LIVIN' IN MISERY
NO MORE NOTHIN' BUT GETTIN' YOU OFFA MY MIND!

NO MORE SAYING NEXT WEEK SOMETIME
NO MORE NO MORE FEEDIN' ME THAT OLD  LINE
NO MORE NOTHING BUT GETTING' YOU OFF MY MIND!

NO MORE LISTENIN' TO THE TELEPHONE
NO MORE HEARIN' "SHE AIN'T HOME!"
NO MORE NOTHIN' BUT GETTING' YOU OFFA MY MIND!

I GOT MY EYE ON A CUTE LITTLE MISSES
GONNA TREAT ME RIGHT AND GIVE ME KISSES
NO MORE COMIN' HOME AT THREE
NO MORE MAKIN' A FOOL OF ME
NO MORE NOTHIN' BUT GETTING' YOU OFF MY MIND!
 

CD1–8 - MORE PRETTY GIRLS THAN ONE  -  sung by Terry Joe Banjo
    traditional

 Chorus
THERE'S MORE PRETTY GIRLS THAN ONE
MORE PRETTY GIRLS THEN ONE
EVERY OLD TOWN THAT I RAMBLED AROUND
AND THERE'S MORE PRETTY GIRLS THAN ONE

MAMA TALKED TO ME LAST NIGHT
SHE GAVE ME SOME GOOD ADVICE
SHE SAID "SON, YOU'D BETTER QUIT THIS OLD RAMBLIN' ALL AROUND
AND MARRY YOU A SWEET LITTLE WIFE"

HONEY, LOOK DOWN THAT OLD LONESOME ROAD
HANG DOWN YOUR PRETTY HEAD AND CRY
'CAUSE I'M THINKING ALL ABOUT THEM PRETTY LITTLE GALS
AND A-HOPIN' THAT I NEVER DIE

    And here’s Terry’s own verse, which he feels ties things up nicely
TO HEAR A TRAIN’S LONESOME WHISTLE BLOW
MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I GOTTA TRAVEL ON
THOUGH I’LL BE LEAVING BEHIND SUCH A SWEET DARLING GIRL
I WILL FIND MYSELF ANOTHER ONE
 

CD1-9 – LA ROUTE DES VOYAGEURS – Canadian fiddle tune, written and played by Bill Bland
 

CD1-10 – I SAW THE LIGHT  -  sung by Bill Anthony
    by Hank Williams

I WANDERED SO AIMLESS , LIFE FILLED WITH SIN
I WOULDN'T LET MY DEAR SAVIOR IN
THEN JESUS CAME LIKE A STRANGER IN THE NIGHT
PRAISE THE LORD , I SAW THE LIGHT

CHORUS
I SAW THE LIGHT , I SAW THE LIGHT ,
NO MORE DARKNESS , NO MORE NIGHT
NOW I'M SO HAPPY, NO SORROW IN SIGHT
PRAISE THE LORD, I SAW THE LIGHT

JUST LIKE THE BLIND MAN, I WANDERED ALONG ,
WORRIES AND FEARS , I CLAIMED FOR MY OWN
THEN LIKE THE BLIND MAN, THAT GOD , GAVE BACK HIS SIGHT
PRAISE THE LORD, I SAW THE LIGHT

CHORUS

I WAS A FOOL TO WANDER AND STRAY,
FOR STRAIGHT IS THE GATE AND NARROW THE WAY
NOW I HAVE TRADED , THE WRONG FOR THE RIGHT
PRAISE THE LORD , I SAW THE LIGHT
 

CD1-11 - A HOUSE WITHOUT LOVE IS NOT A HOME -  sung by Dave Widders
    by Hank Williams

FOR YEARS WE BOTH HAVE LIVED ON PRIDE, DEAR
AND WE AGREE THAT LOVE IS GONE
WHY, OH WHY DO WE KEEP TRYIN’
A HOUSE WITHOUT LOVE IS NOT A HOME

THE LOVELIGHT IN YOUR EYES HAS FADED
AND I’M CONTENTED JUST TO ROAM
WE SLAVED TO GAIN A WORTHLESS TREASURE
A HOUSE WITHOUT LOVE IS NOT A HOME

NO MATTER WHERE OUR FOOTSTEPS WANDER
I KNOW WE’LL BOTH BE ALL ALONE
WITH THE PRIDE THAT CAME BETWEEN US
A HOUSE WITHOUT LOVE IS NOT A HOME

THE SIMPLE THINGS HAVE GONE FOREVER
WE WANTED WEALTH TO CALL OUR OWN
AND NOW WE’VE REACHED THE HOUR OF PARTING
A HOUSE WITHOUT LOVE IS NOT A HOME
 

CD1-12 – THE LAST THING ON MY MIND – sung by Blue Ridge Blue Grass Band
    by Tom Paxton

IT'S A LESSON TOO LATE FOR THE LEARNING,
MADE OF SAND, MADE OF SAND
IN THE WINK OF AN EYE MY SOUL IS TURNING
IN YOUR HAND, IN YOUR HAND

    chorus:
ARE YOU GOING AWAY WITH NO WORD OF FAREWELL,
WILL THERE BE NOT A TRACE LEFT BEHIND?
I COULD HAVE LOVED YOU BETTER, I DIDN'T MEAN TO BE UNKIND
THAT WAS THE LAST THING ON MY MIND

YOU'VE GOT REASONS APLENTY FOR GOING
THIS I KNOW, THIS I KNOW
FOR THE WEEDS HAVE BEEN STEADILY GROWING
PLEASE DON'T GO, PLEASE DON'T GO

chorus

AS I LIE HERE IN BED IN THE MORNING
WITHOUT YOU, WITHOUT YOU
EVERY SONG IN MY BREAST DIES A BORNING
WITHOUT YOU, WITHOUT YOU

chorus
 

CD1-13 – A PICTURE FROM LIFE’S OTHER SIDE – sung by “Graveyard” Johnny Fast
    by Hank Williams

IN THE WORLD'S MIGHTY GALLERY OF PICTURES
HANG THE SCENES THAT'RE PAINTED FROM LIFE
THERE HANG PICTURES OF LOVE AND OF PASSION
AND THERE'S PICTURES OF SORROW AND STRIFE

THERE HUNG PICTURES OF YOUTH AND OF BEAUTY
OF OLD AGE AND A BLUSHING YOUNG BRIDE
THEY ALL HUNG ON THE WALL BUT THE SADDEST OF ALL
ARE THE PICTURES FROM LIFE'S OTHER SIDE

JUST A PICTURE FROM LIFE'S OTHER SIDE
SOMEONE HAS FELL BY THE WAY
A LIFE HAS GONE OUT WITH THE TIDE
THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN HAPPY SOME DAY

THERE'S A POOR OLD MOTHER AT HOME
SHE'S WATCHING AND WAITING ALONE
JUST LONGING TO HEAR FROM A LOVED ONE SO DEAR
JUST A PICTURE FROM LIFE'S OTHER SIDE

THE FIRST SCENE IS THAT OF A GAMBLER
WHO HAD LOST ALL HIS MONEY AT PLAY
NEEDS ALL HIS DEAD MOTHER'S RING FROM HER FINGER
THE ONE THAT SHE WORE LONG AGO ON HER WEDDING DAY

IT'S HIS LAST EARTHLY TREASURE BUT HE STAKES IT
THEN HE BOWS HIS HEAD THAT HIS SHAME HE MIGHT HIDE
BUT WHEN THEY LIFTED HIS HEAD THEY FOUND HE WAS DEAD
IT'S JUST A PICTURE FROM LIFE'S OTHER SIDE

NOW THE LAST SCENE IS THAT BY THE RIVER
OF A HEARTBROKEN MOTHER AND BABE
AS THE HARBOR LIGHTS SHINE AND THEY SHIVER
ON AN OUTCAST WHOM NO ONE WILL SAVE

AND YET SHE WAS ONCE A TRUE WOMAN
SHE WAS SOMEBODY'S DARLING AND PRIDE
GOD HELP HER SHE LEAPS FOR THERE'S NO ONE TO WEEP
IT'S JUST A PICTURE FROM LIFE'S OTHER SIDE
 

CD1-14 - THE WHITE ROSE  - sung by Maurice Maither
    (from Bill Monroe’s version)

EVERYBODY WANTS TO KNOW THE REASON
WHY I WEAR THIS ROSE OF WHITE UPON MY BREAST
THEY DON'T KNOW MY POOR HEART DIED THE DAY YOU LEFT ME
LEAVE THIS ROSE AT PEACE, IT'S NOW AT REST

LIKE THE ROSE OF WHITE MY LOVE WAS BLOOMING
THOUGH THERE WAS A SUNSHINE HERE THAT MADE IT GROW
LIKE A ROSE THAT WITHERED WHEN THE SUN STOPPED SHINING
LOVE WON'T GO AND KILL IT LIKE A WINTER'S SNOW

ONCE MY HEART WAS GAY AND FULL OF LAUGHTER
WHEN SO LONG AGO WE STROLLED ALONG THE DELL
BUT IT DIED WITHIN ME THE DAY YOU FOUND ANOTHER
THAT'S THE CAUSE FOR THIS WHITE ROSE IN MY LAPEL
 

CD1-15 – BOB FULLER’S TALKING “40 YEAR CELEBRATION” BLUES – written and sung by John “Lew Dite” Parsons.  Written February 10, 2005

BOB FULLER SAID IN ‘66,
“THEY TOOK THE COUNTRY OUT OF COUNTRY AND IT CAN’T BE FIXED”
HE SAID, “YOU CAN LOVE ME AND FOLLOW ME AROUND,
BUT YOU CAN’T PLAY THAT NASHVILLE SOUND”
BOB SAID, RIGHT THEN AND THERE,
“NO MORE WIRES, NO MORE SNARE”

SO FOR FORTY YEARS ON MONDAY NIGHT
BOB’S KEPT UP HIS HOLY FIGHT
NOW HERE WE ARE IN ZERO-FIVE
AND WE’RE STILL KEEPING OLD-TIME ALIVE …
THANKS TO BOB … THANKS TO BOB FULLER …
SOME APPLAUSE … PLEASE …

I MET LITTLE JEANNIE AT THE DOOR
SHE SAID, “HI!  HAVE YOU BEEN HERE BEFORE?”
I SAID, “WELL, I DON’T KNOW …
THE MUSIC SOUNDS FAMILIAR THOUGH …  KIND OF OLD-TIMEY”
ROLL IN MY SWEET BABY’S ARMS …

NOW ON THE FIDDLE IS BILL BLAND,
A LONG-TIME MEMBER OF THE BAND
JIGS AND REELS AND HOEDOWNS
BILL KNOWS ALL THE COUNTRY SOUNDS …
TEAR JERKERS, WALTZES, WESTERN SWING
DEEP WITHIN MY HEART LIES A MELODY, A SONG OF OLD ANTONE

BILL ANTHONY SAYS, “WELCOME FRIENDS,
IT’S GOOD TO SEE YOU HERE AGAIN,
ARE YOU HAVING A GOOD TIME?  AND I HOPE YOU ARE,
BECAUSE WITHOUT YOU FOLKS WE WOULDN’T GO FAR
WE WOULDN’T BE HERE …
WITHOUT YOU KIND FOLKS, WE’D BE … WHERE WOULD WE BE?”

THEN THE PROFESSOR SINGS HIS SONG,
AND HE ALWAYS BRINGS HIS STUDENTS ALONG
HE WANTS THEM TO SEE ANOTHER SIDE OF LIFE,
AND THIS IS THE PLACE, YOU CAN BET YOUR LIFE, FOR THAT TO HAPPEN
THERE’S MUSIC … FRIENDSHIP … POPCORN!
HOT CORN, COLD CORN, BRING ALONG A DEMI-JOHN
HOT CORN, COLD CORN, BRING ALONG A DEMI-JOHN
HOT CORN, COLD CORN, BRING ALONG A DEMI-JOHN
FARE THEE WELL, MY DARLING,
SEE YOU IN THE MORNING      YES SIR

NOW LEO FONTAINE FROM OUT WEST
IS ALWAYS AT HIS COUNTRY BEST
AND HIS WIFE DENISE, WELL YOU KNOW HER,
SHE’S LINE-DANCING ON THE FLOOR …
NEXT TO HAROLD …         NOW THAT’S A CHALLENGE

MAMA LEONA ON THE  AUTOHARP
SINGS WITH SOUL, SINGS WITH HEART
SHE LIKES TO DO A SING-A-LONG
AND GET THE CROWD INTO HER SONG
Y’ALL COME, Y’ALL COME,
Y’ALL COME TO SEE US MONDAY NIGHT
 

CD1-16 - REVENEZ  (Y’All COME) -  sung by Leona Dionne

WHEN YOU LIVE IN THE COUNTRY
EVERYBODY IS YOUR NEIGHBOR
ON THIS ONE THING YOU CAN RELY
THEY'LL ALL COME TO SEE YOU
AND THEY'LL NEVER EVER LEAVE YOU

Y'ALL COME TO SEE US BYE AND BYE
Y'ALL COME (Y'ALL COME), Y'ALL COME (Y'ALL COME)
OH, YOU ALL COME TO SEE US WHEN YOU CAN
Y'ALL COME (Y'ALL COME), Y'ALL COME (Y'ALL COME)
OH, YOU ALL COME TO SEE US NOW AND THEN

NOW GRANDMA'S A-WISHING
YOU'D COME OUT TO THE KITCHEN
AND HELP DO THE DISHES RIGHT AWAY
THEN THEY ALL START A-LEAVING,
AND THOUGH SHE'S A-GRIEVING
YOU CAN STILL HEAR GRANDMA SAY

THE KIN FOLK ARE A COMING, THEY’RE COMING BY THE DOZEN
AND THEY’RE EATING EVERYTHING FROM SOUP TO HAY
BUT RIGHT AFTER DINNER, THEY DON’T LOOK ANY THINNER
BUT YOU ARE SURE TO HEAR EVERYONE SAY:
 

FRENCH VERSION

MOI JE VIS SUR LE FERME AVEC MON VIEUX MODERNE
MAIS J’AIME A VOIR LES GENS ME VISITER
ET PIS CHAQUE FIN DE SEMAINE QUAND LA COMPAGNIE S’AMÈNE
C’EST ICI (QUE VOUS V’NEZ ME TROUVER)

 REVENEZ REVENEZ OUI REVENEZ NOUS VISITER TOUT L’TEMPS
 REVENEZ OUI REVENEZ OH REVENEZ NOUS VISITER SOUVENT
           (BIS)

LA TABLE EST TOUJOUR PLEINE CA BOUFFE COMME DES REINES
CA MANGE CA CHANTE PIS CA S’AMUSE GAIEMENT
MAIS QUAND LES GENS SE QUITTE ALORS TOUS ON S’EXCITE
MAIS ON SE LAISSE TOUJOURS EN CHANTANT

CD2-1 – HOME ON THE RANGE  -- sung by Bob Fuller

OH, GIVE ME A HOME, WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM
WHERE THE DEER AND THE ANTELOPE PLAY
WHERE SELDOM IS HEARD A DISCOURAGING WORD
AND THE SKIES ARE NOT CLOUDY ALL DAY

HOME, HOME ON THE RANGE
WHERE THE DEER AND THE ANTELOPE PLAY
WHERE SELDOM IS HEARD A DISCOURAGING WORD
AND THE SKIES ARE NOT CLOUDY ALL DAY

WHERE THE AIR IS SO PURE, THE ZEPHYRS SO FREE
THE BREEZES SO BALMY AND LIGHT
THAT I WOULD NOT EXCHANGE MY HOME ON THE RANGE
FOR ALL THE CITIES SO BRIGHT

HOW OFTEN AT NIGHT WHEN THE HEAVENS ARE BRIGHT
WITH THE LIGHT OF THE GLITTERING STARS
HAVE I STOOD HERE AMAZED AND ASKED AS I GAZED
IF THEIR GLORY EXCEEDS THAT OF OURS

OH I LOVE THESE WILD FLOWERS IN THIS DEAR LAND OF OURS
THE CURLEW I LOVE TO HEAR SCREAM
AND I LOVE THE WHITE ROCKS AND THE ANTELOPE FLOCKS
THAT GRAZE ON THE MOUNTAIN-TOPS GREEN

OH, GIVE ME A LAND WHERE THE BRIGHT DIAMOND SAND
FLOWS LEISURELY DOWN THE STREAM
WHERE THE GRACEFUL WHITE SWAN GOES GLIDING ALONG
LIKE A MAID IN A HEAVENLY DREAM

THEN I WOULD NOT EXCHANGE MY HOME ON THE RANGE
WHERE THE DEER AND THE ANTELOPE PLAY
WHERE SELDOM IS HEARD A DISCOURAGING WORD
AND THE SKIES ARE NOT CLOUDY ALL DAY
 

CD2-2 – FARTHER ALONG – sung by Bob Fuller and Little Jeannie

FARTHER ALONG WE'LL KNOW ALL ABOUT IT
FARTHER ALONG WE'LL UNDERSTAND WHY
CHEER UP MY BROTHER LIVE IN THE SUNSHINE
WE'LL UNDERSTAND IT ALL BY AND BY

WHEN WE SEE JESUS COMING IN GLORY
WHEN HE COMES FROM HIS HOME IN THE SKY
THEN WE SHALL MEET HIM IN THAT BRIGHT MANSION
WE'LL UNDERSTAND IT ALL BY AND BY

BUFFALO GALS, WON'T YOU COME OUT TONIGHT

AS I WAS WALKING DOWN THE STREET
DOWN THE STREET, DOWN THE STREET
A PRETTY LITTLE GAL I CHANCED TO MEET
OH, SHE WAS FAIR TO SEE

I STOPPED HER AND WE HAD A TALK
HAD A TALK, HAD A TALK
HER FEET TOOK UP THE WHOLE SIDEWALK
AND LEFT NO ROOM FOR ME

I ASKED HER IF SHE'D HAVE A DANCE
HAVE A DANCE, HAVE A DANCE
I THOUGHT THAT I MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE
TO SHAKE A FOOT WITH HER

I DANCED WITH A GAL WITH A HOLE IN HER STOCKIN'
AND HER HEEL KEPT A-KNOCKIN', AND HER TOES KEPT A-ROCKIN'
I DANCED WITH A GAL WITH A HOLE IN HER STOCKIN'
AND WE DANCED BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON

OH, DARLING, I'VE HEARD YOU ARE GOING AWAY
THE MESSAGE IS HAUNTING ME YET
ARE YOU INTENDING TO COME BACK AGAIN
OH, SWEETHEART, DON'T EVER  FORGET

    chorus
KISS ME AGAIN IF YOU'RE GOING AWAY
JUST LIKE YOU DID WHEN WE MET
LET YOUR SWEET LIPS MAKE THE PROMISE AGAIN
BUT DARLING I KNOW YOU'LL FORGET

YOU'LL SOON FORGET ALL THE VOWS THAT YOU'VE MADE
WHEN YOU ARE OUT OF MY SIGHT
YOU'LL FIND ANOTHER AND THEN YOU'LL FORGET
THE HEART YOU ARE CASTING ASIDE

KISS ME AGAIN IF YOU'RE GOING AWAY
BUT I AM SURE I'LL REGRET
JUST LIKE THE OTHERS YOU HELD IN YOUR ARMS
I'LL BE THE NEXT ONE YOU FORGET

YOU ASK ME TO WAIT TIL YOU MAKE UP YOUR MIND
YOU SAY YOU'RE NOT READY TO WED
SO DOWN THROUGH THE AGES, I'LL PRAY FOR THE TIME
BUT SWEETHEART, I KNOW YOU'LL FORGET
 
 
 
 

CD2-10 – I WANT TO BE A COWBOY’S SWEETHEART – Sung by Judy Ford
    by Patsy Montana

I WANT TO BE A COWBOY'S SWEETHEART
I WANT TO LEARN TO ROPE AND TO RIDE
I WANT TO RIDE O'ER THE PLAINS AND THE DESERTS
OUT WEST OF THE GREAT DIVIDE
I WANT HEAR THE COYOTES HOWLING'
WHILE THE SUN SINKS IN THE WEST
I WANT TO BE A COWBOY'S SWEETHEART
THAT'S THE LIFE THAT I LOVE BEST

(YODELING)

I WANT TO RIDE OLD PAINT GOING AT A RUN
I WANT TO FEEL THE WIND IN MY FACE
A THOUSAND MILES FROM THESE CITY LIGHTS
GOING' AT A COWHAND'S PACE
I WANT TO CRADLE MY HEAD NEAR THE SLEEPING HERD
WHILE THE MOON SHINES DOWN FROM ABOVE
I WANT TO STRUM MY GUITAR AND YODEL-A-E-HOO
OH THAT'S THE LIFE THAT I LOVE
 
 

CD2-11 – ALMOST PERSUADED – sung by Glenn Fournier
 by Billy Sherrill and Glenn Sutton

LAST NIGHT, ALL ALONE IN A BAR ROOM
MET A GIRL WITH A DRINK IN HER  HAND
SHE HAD  RUBY RED LIPS,  COAL BLACK HAIR
AND  EYES THAT WOULD  TEMPT ANY  MAN

THEN SHE  CAME AND SAT  DOWN AT MY  TABLE
AND AS SHE  PLACED HER SOFT HAND IN  MINE
I  FOUND MYSELF  WANTING TO  KISS HER
FOR TEMPTATION WAS  FLOWING LIKE  WINE

AND I WAS  ALMOST PERSUADED
TO  STRIP MYSELF OF MY  PRIDE
ALMOST PERSUADED
TO  PUSH MY  CONSCIENCE ASIDE

THEN WE  DANCED AND SHE  WHISPERED "I  NEED YOU
TAKE ME AWAY FROM HERE AND BE MY MAN"
THEN I  LOOKED INTO HER  EYES AND I  SAW IT
THE REFLECTION OF  MY WEDDING  BAND

AND I WAS ALMOST PERSUADED
TO LET STRANGE LIPS LEAD ME  ON
ALMOST PERSUADED
BUT YOUR  SWEET LOVE MADE ME  STOP AND GO  HOME
 

CD2-12 - WHISPERING HOPE – sung by Rosemary Turpin
    by Alice Hawthorne (Septimus Winner) 1868

 SOFT AS THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL
 BREATHING A LESSON UNHEARD
 HOPE WITH A GENTLE PERSUASION
 WHISPERS HER COMFORTING WORD

 WAIT TILL THE DARKNESS IS OVER
 WAIT TILL THE TEMPEST IS DONE
 HOPE FOR THE SUNSHINE TOMORROW
 AFTER THE SHOWER IS GONE

  chorus:
 WHISPERING HOPE
 O HOW WELCOME THY VOICE,
 MAKING MY HEART IN ITS SORROW REJOICE

 IF IN THE DUSK OF THE TWILIGHT
 DIM BE THE REGION AFAR
 WILL NOT THE DEEPENING DARKNESS
 BRIGHTEN THE SHIMMERING STAR?

 THEN WHEN THE NIGHT IS UPON US
 WHY SHOULD THE HEART SINK AWAY?
 WHEN THE DARK NIGHT IS OVER
 WATCH FOR THE BREAKING OF DAY

HOPE HAS AN ANCHOR SO STEADFAST
RENDS THE DARK VEIL FOR THE SOUL
WHITHER THE MASTER HAS ENTERED
ROBBING THE GRAVE OF ITS GOAL

 COME THEN, O COME, GLAD FRUITION
 COME TO MY SAD WEARY SOUL
 COME THOU, O BLESSED HOPE OF GLORY
 NEVER, O NEVER, DEPART
 

CD2-13 - CIGARETTES AND COFFEE BLUES  - sung by Tennessee John
    by Lefty  Frizzell

I  GUESS I'LL TAKE A WALK TONIGHT, I  KNOW THAT I CAN'T  SLEEP
AND  I DON'T GO TO BED AT ALL, I JUST LAY THERE AND  WEEP
INSTEAD  I'LL MAKE OUR FAVORITE SPOT, THAT'S  WHAT I THINK I'LL  DO
I'VE  GOT THOSE SMOKIN' CIGARETTES AND DRINKIN' COFFEE   BLUES

SMOKIN' CIGARETTES AND DRINKIN  COFFEE ALL NIGHT LONG
WONDERIN' HOW A LOVE SO RIGHT COULD  SUDDENLY GO   WRONG
I'D  TAKE THE NEXT BUS OUT OF TOWN, BUT I  GOTTA BE NEAR YOU
I'VE  GOT THOSE SMOKIN' CIGARETTES AND DRINKIN' COFFEE   BLUES

SITTIN' AT THE TABLE WHERE I  CALL MY BABY'S NAME
WONDERIN' WHERE OUR LOVE WENT WRONG, WONDERIN' WHO'S TO    BLAME
LISTENIN' WHILE THE JUKEBOX PLAYS THE  SONGS THAT MAKE ME BLUE
ANOTHER CUP OF COFFEE AND A CIGARETTE OR  TWO

SMOKIN' CIGARETTES AND DRINKIN'  COFFEE ALL NIGHT LONG
WONDERIN' HOW A LOVE SO RIGHT COULD  SUDDENLY GO   WRONG
THERE'S A  LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE KNOW THE  MISERY I GO THROUGH
I GOT THOSE SMOKIN' CIGARETTES AND DRINKIN' COFFEE  BLUES
 

CD2-14 – ABILENE – sung by Don Wayne Patterson
    by John D Loudermilk

 chorus:
ABILENE, ABILENE,
PRETTIEST TOWN YOU'VE EVER SEEN,
WOMEN THERE DON'T TREAT YOU MEAN,
IN ABILENE, MY ABILENE

1) I SIT ALONE MOST EVERY NIGHT,
WATCH THOSE TRAINS PULL OUT'A SIGHT,
DON'T I WISH THEY WERE CARRYING ME,
BACK TO ABILENE, SWEET ABILENE

2) CROWDED CITY, THERE AIN'T NOTHIN' FREE,
NOTHIN' IN THIS TOWN FOR ME,
WISH TO THE LORD THAT I COULD BE,
IN ABILENE, SWEET ABILENE
 

CD2-15 – ON MY MIND – sung by Bob Comeau
 by Flatt and Scruggs
 

I CAN'T SLEEP AND I CAN'T EAT, ALL I DO IS SIT AND CRY
AND LISTEN FOR YOUR FOOTSTEPS AT MY DOOR
I KEEP ASKING MYSELF, WHY THAT YOU EVER SAID “GOODBYE”
AND I GUESS I'VE CRIED A MILLION TEARS OR MORE

ON MY MIND ON MY MIND
YOU'RE ALWAYS IN MY HEART AND ON MY MIND
ONCE I THOUGHT MY LOVE WOULD DIE, DARLING, HERE'S WHAT I FIND
YOU'RE ALWAYS IN MY HEART AND ON MY MIND

SEEMS I MISS YOU MOST OF ALL, WHEN THE TWILIGHT SHADOWS FALL
WHAT A FOOL I WAS TO EVER LET YOU GO
IF LONGING FOR YOU NOW, COULD ONLY BRING YOU BACK SOMEHOW
YOU'D BE HERE IN THESE LOVING ARMS, I KNOW
 

CD2-16 - LOST HIGHWAY  - sung by Gilles Deguire
 by Hank Williams

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 BOYS 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
 

CD2-17 – JUST CALL ME LONESOME – sung by Eddie Mailhiot

WHY MUST I LOVE THE HEARTLESS ONE
WHO'LL NEVER KNOW THE HARM SHE'S DONE
THOUGH LOVE IS BLIND, I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN
JUST CALL ME LONESOME FROM NOW ON

I CLIMB THE STAIRS UP TO MY ROOM
BUT NO-ONE MEETS ME IN MY GLOOM
THE SILENCE TELLS ME SHE IS GONE
JUST CALL ME LONESOME FROM NOW ON

THESE WALLS WILL HIDE ME WHEN I CRY
AND HOPE THAT HEAVEN LETS ME DIE
WHAT GOOD IS LIFE-WHEN HOPE IS GONE
JUST CALL ME LONESOME FROM NOW ON

I PRAY MY MEMORIES AT LAST
WILL FADE INTO THE DISTANT PAST
IF I MUST LIVE AND LOVE ALONE
JUST CALL ME LONESOME FROM NOW ON
 

CD2-18 – FADED LOVE – played by Brian Echenberg (steel guitar)
    by Bob Wills

it’s played as an instrumental but here are the words anyway!

AS I LOOK AT THE LETTERS THAT YOU WROTE TO ME
IT’S YOU THAT I AM THINKING OF
AS I READ THE LINES THAT TO ME WERE SO DEAR
I REMEMBER OUR FADED LOVE

I MISS YOU DARLIN’ MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY
AS HEAVEN WOULD MISS THE STARS ABOVE
WITH EVERY HEARTBEAT I STILL THINK OF YOU
AND REMEMBER OUR FADED LOVE

AS I THINK OF THE PAST AND ALL THE PLEASURES WE HAD
AS I WATCH THE MATING OF THE DOVES
IT WAS IN THE SPRINGTIME THAT YOU SAID GOOD-BYE
AND I REMEMBER OUR FADED LOVE

I MISS YOU DARLIN’, MORE AND MORE EVERY DAY
AS HEAVEN WOULD MISS THE STARS ABOVE
WITH EVERY HEARTBEAT I STILL THINK OF YOU
AND REMEMBER OUR FADED LOVE
