I find myself a-gazing at the sky,
Waiting for my darling to return.
All I see is just a little sky,
You love me, just a little at a time.

Chorus
You only want me when you're sad and blue,
And no one else around to hold you tight.

Each day I'll do a golden deed
By helping those who are in need
My life on earth is but a span
And so I'll do the best I can

Life's even sun is sinking low
A few more days and I must go
To meet the deeds that I have done

I hear a choo choo coming
It's coming down the track
It's taking away my darling
Never to bring her back

My darling left me this morning
She left me feeling so blue
I'm a going to roll, rock, and ramble

VERSE 1
Do you want'a know whats the matter
With this ole sinful world
While th wind blows sorrow
An' storms of life unhurled
There's a place to get the answer
Written there upon
Four books in the Bible

From The Manger To The Cross

The story's in the Bible, it's a message sad but true
The life our Saviour lived on earth is told
Found upon the pages of the Master's book of truth
Every word so precious to my soul

From the manger to the cross, rugged cross of Calvary

Heaven Seemed So Near, by Al Elliot, 1958

Tonight as the stars were shining so bright
I strolled in the moonlight alone.
It broke my heart to think of our past
And it's just not the same since you've gone.

Heaven seemed so near, darling, when you were here

Verse 1

They say that you left town this morning

You didn’t tell me goodbye

Why did God ever make me

It's been a long time since you drifted away
Now there's nothin' to live for it seems
But darlin' no matter where you are tonight
You'll be here with me inmy dreams

I 'll nevergrow tired of you sweetheart
No mat-ter what you may do
They tell me lately you're livin' so wrong

Lonesome, lonesome, pining away
Now you say its best to part
Even though it breaks my heart
I'm lost and I'll never find the way

Since you said we must part darling you have broke my heart
I am drifting like a ship lost at sea
In a world of despair its so lonesome there

Now darlin', I've tried, I've never done wrong
I've been fair to you, you know all along
Why treat me this way, you're breakin' my heart
I'm lonesome for you we're so far apart.

It's never too late to start over new
I've loved you so long, you know I've been true
Please come back to me, my heart is so blue

Oh it's raining, raining, raining here this morning
As I sit in jail and hang my head in shame
With a smile I try to greet each early dawning
But they've given me a number for my name

Many a little raindrops are falling close to me
Makes the streams and rivers just as muddy as can be
It's raining, raining, raining here this morning

Oh come and as you tread life's journey
Take Jesus as your daily guide
Though you may feel pure and saintly
Without him walkin by your side

But when you come to make the crossing
At the ending of your pilgrim way
If you ever will need our Savior

In a church on Sunday morning
Sat a man unwelcomed there
Judged by men and not by Jesus
Lifted up his voice in prayer

Steer me on the righteous pathway
Help me humbly to abide
Hold me to your precious bosom

Love me, darling just tonight
Take your arms hold me tight
Tommorrow you may hold another
Love me, darling just tonight.

Try to find true love in your heart
Tommorrow we may not have to part
But if you feel you must leave me

As a boy I learned of Jesus
With my mother here at home
Gathered there around the fireside
Mother taught us right from wrong

Happy days I still remember
With a mother long gone on
Now rejoicing with the angels (up in heaven)

There's a big holler tree down the road here from me
Where you lay down a dollar or two
Well you go round the bend and when you come back again
There's a jug full of good ole mountain dew

Oh they call it that ole mountain dew
And them that refuse it are few
I'll shut up my mug if you fill up my jug

Sittin' alone in my cold prison cell
Watchin the sinkin' sun
My trial on earth is over now
But my main trial is yet to come

My main trial is yet to come, oh Lord
I'll die in the morning at dawn
But after I die in the electric chair

I heard about a man one day who wasted not his time away
He prayed to God every morning noon and night
He cared not for the things of man he trusted one who would not fail
Oh, Daniel prayed every morning, noon, and night

Oh, Daniel served the living God while here upon this earth he trod
He prayed to God every morning noon and night
He cared not for the kings decree he trusted God to set him free

Today I burned your old love letters
I burned 'em gently one by one
And as I'd light the flame I'd read it
For I could see what you had done

The first you wrote me was the sweetest
The last one broke my heart in two
And as I'd light the flame I'd read it

Rattler was a good old dog as blind as he could be
But every night at suppertime I believe that dog could see

Here Rattler here here Rattler here
Call old Rattler from the barn here Rattler here

Rattler breaked the other night I thought he treed a coon
When I come to find him he's barkin' at the moon

Oh, the nights are lonely here without you
All I see is grief and pain
For another love you treasure
All our hopes now seem in vain

For I love you as no other
Though you've gone far away
Will you ever think my darling

Stairway To Heaven
Recorded by the Stanley Brothers
written by Bill J. Grant and Ralph Stanley

G C
Have you dreamed of a stairway to heaven
G D7
A home just beyond the blue

Out in the cold world and far away from home
Some mother's boy is wandering all alone
No one to guide him or keep his footsteps right
Some mother's boy is homeless tonight

Oh, bring back to me, my wandering boy
For there is no other that's left to give me joy
Tell him his mother with faded cheeks and hair

Is it true that I've lost you
Am I not the only one
After all this pain and sorrow
Darling think of what you've done

Heart to heart dear how I need you
Like the flowers need the dew
Loving you has been my life, dear

I know that Jesus will never forsake
His love will find a way
He'll bridge the stream if his hand I will take
When he calls what can I say

Day follows night night follows day
Farther and farther I roam
What will my answer be what can I say

In the deep rolling hills of old Virginia
There's a place that I love so well
Where I spent many days of my childhood
In the cabin where we loved to dwell

White dove will mourn in sorrow
The willows will hang their heads
I'll live my life in sorrow

You'd better get right little darling
And quit all this running round
You'd better get right little darling
I'm gonna tear your playhouse down

You told me once there was no other
But now you've gone far away
I'll always think of you my darling

Oh a long time ago when I left my old home
I thought my darlin' I'd leave you behind
But as time lingers on I can't go it alone
But darlin' somehow you're still on my mind

Each night I'm so lonely thinkin of you
I wonder sweetheart if you feel the same
I'm on my way back to start lovin' you
