to the river to pray Alison Krauss

Good Lord, show me the

You are my sunshine
Norman Blake
The other night dear,
as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you
in my arms
But when I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and
I cried.
You are my sunshine, my
only sunshine
You make me happy when
skies are grey
You'll never know dear,
how much I love you
Please don't take my
sunshine away
I'll always love you and
make you happy,
If you will only say
the same.
But if you leave me and
love another,
You'll regret it all
some day:
You are my sunshine, my
only sunshine
You make me happy when
skies are grey
You'll never know dear,
how much I love you
Please don't take my
sunshine away
You told me once, dear,
you really loved me
And no one else could
come between.
But not you've left me
and love another;
You have shattered all
of my dreams:
You are my sunshine, my
only sunshine
You make me happy when
skies are grey
You'll never know dear,
how much I love you
Please don't take my
sunshine away
In all my dreams, dear,
you seem to leave me
When I awake my poor
heart pains.
So when you come back
and make me happy
I'll forgive you dear,
I'll take all the blame.
You are my sunshine, my
only sunshine
You make me happy when
skies are grey
You'll never know dear,
how much I love you
Please don't take my
sunshine away |
I
am a man of constant sorrow
The Soggy Bottom Boys
I am a man of constant
sorrow
I've seen trouble all
my day.
I bid farewell to old
Kentucky
The place where I was
born and raised.
(The place where he was
born and raised )
For six long years I've
been in trouble
No pleasures here on
earth I found
For in this world I'm
bound to ramble
I have no friends to
help me now.
(chorus) He has no friends
to help him now
It's fare thee well my
old lover
I never expect to see
you again
For I'm bound to ride
that northern railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon
this train.
(chorus) Perhaps he'll
die upon this train.
You can bury me in some
deep valley
For many years where
I may lay
Then you may learn to
love another
While I am sleeping in
my grave.
(chorus) While he is sleeping
in his grave.
Maybe your friends think
I'm just a stranger
My face you'll never
see no more.
But there is one promise
that is given
I'll meet you on God's
golden shore.
(chorus) He'll meet you
on God's golden shore.
Keep on the sunny side
The Whites
There's a dark & a
troubled side of life
There's a bright, there's
a sunny side, too
Tho' we meet with the
darkness and strife
The sunny side we also
may view
cho: Keep on the sunny
side, always on the sunny side,
Keep on the sunny side
of life
It will help us ev'ry
day, it will brighten all the way
If we'll keep on the
sunny side of life
The storm and its fury
broke today,
Crushing hopes that we
cherish so dear;
Clouds and storms will,
in time, pass away
The sun again will shine
bright and clear.
Let us greet with the
song of hope each day
Tho' the moment be cloudy
or fair
Let us trust in our Saviour
away
Who keepeth everyone
in His care
