Take Me in Your Lifeboat
length: 3:42
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
It will stand the ragin' storm
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
It will bear the spirit home
Come on, brothers and sisters, and don't fall asleep
Pray night and day or you'll sleep in the deep
Now fathers and mothers are prayin' so loud
Said : 'Lord, won't you take us in your lifeboat ?'
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
It will stand the ragin' storm
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
It will bear the spirit home
Clouds are so heavy, the winds are so loud
Thunder is rolling beckoning the crowd
They pray for the shipmates for what they have done
They took the dyin' sailor in their lifeboat
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
It will stand the ragin' storm
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
It will bear the spirit home
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
It will stand the ragin' storm
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
It will bear the spirit home
Milk Cow Blues
Well, I woke up this mornin' and I looked out my door
I thought I heard my milk cow, I can tell the way she lows
If you see my milk cow, won't you, please, drive her on home ?
I ain't had no milk and butter since my sweet little Jersey cow had gone
Well, nowyou gotta treat me right, woman, day by day
And get out that little prayer book, get down upon your knees and pray
'Cause you're gonna need, yeah, you're gonna need my help someday
Yeah, you're gonna be sorry, you treated poor old Josh such a low down way
Sail on, little gal, down on that old evil road you're going down, sail alone
Lord, Lord, mama, what makes you leave your man all alone ?
You're gonna get up some morning, old hard working daddy is gonna be gone
Well, I'm trying everything baby to get along with you
I'm gonna tell you a-just what I'm gonna do
If you gonna stop this ballin', gonna leave you all alone
If you got me wonderin', woman, well, this world is almost gone
I Find Jesus
I walk in silence when it comes
This feeling when the spirit leads me on
If the dogs are barking and the night is rough
I take it as a sign to climb above
The city to a hill among the clouds
Where I can see my Savior now
He's waiting with his palm to me outstretched
His mercy is a balm when I'm perplexed
I find Jesus (I find Jesus) in the darkest night (I find Jesus)
I find Jesus (I find Jesus) in the morning light (I find Jesus)
I find Jesus in the face of those
Whose hearts are singing with the heavenly host
Sometimes when I feel all alone
I look around and all are gone
The friends that I rely upon
Are busy doing what they want
I look within and I am told
It's Sunday morning in my soul
And there I find a holy hall
Where congregations heed the call
I find Jesus (I find Jesus) in the darkest night (I find Jesus)
I find Jesus (I find Jesus) in the morning bright (I find Jesus)
I find Jesus in the face of those
Whose hearts are singing with the heavenly host
And when I lay down my last time
And feel a chill run up my spine
And recognize my time has come
I'll look around, He'll lead me home
He'll reach His loving hand to me
And bid me climb to victory
Where we'll find kindred spirits there
Hearts raised in song without a care
I find Jesus (I find Jesus) in the darkest night (I find Jesus)
I find Jesus (I find Jesus) in the morning bright (I find Jesus)
I find Jesus in the face of those
Whose hearts are singing with the heavenly host
Hold Watcha Got

Mama's Opry
length: 4:24
performer: Iris DeMent
She grew up plain and simple in a farming town
Her daddy played the fiddle and used to do the calling when they had hoe-downs
She says the neighbors would come and they'd move all my grandma's furniture 'round
And there'd be twenty or more there on the old wooden floor dancin' to a country sound
The Carters and Jimmy Rodgers played her favorite songs
And on Saturday nights there was a radio show and she would sing along
And I'll never forget her face when she revealed to me
That she'd dreamed about singing at The Grand Ol' Opry
Her eyes, oh, how they sparkled when she sang those songs
While she was hanging the clothes on the line, I was a kid just a-hummin' along
Well, I'd be playing in the grass, to her, what might've seemed, obliviously
But there ain't no doubt about it, she sure made her mark on me
And she played old gospel records on the phonograph
She turned them up loud and we'd sing along, but those days have passed
Just now, that I am older, it occurs to me
That I was singing in the grandest opry
And we sang sweet rose of Sharon, abide with me
'Til I ride the gospel ship to heaven's jubilee
And in that great triumphant morning my soul will be free
And my burdens will be lifted when my savior's face I see
So I don't want to get adjusted to this world below
But I know he'll pilot me 'til it comes time to go
Oh, nothing on this earth is half as dear to me
As the sound of my mama's opry
And we sang sweet rose of Sharon, abide with me
'Til I ride the gospel ship to heaven's jubilee
And in that great triumphant morning my soul will be free
And my burdens will be lifted when my savior's face I see
So I don't want to get adjusted to this world below
But I know he'll pilot me 'til it comes time to go
Oh, nothing on this earth is half as dear to me
As the sound of my mama's opry
Diamonds in the Rough
While walking out one evening
Not knowing where to go
Just to pass the time away
Before we gave that show
I met a little mission band
Singing with all its might
I gave my heart to Jesus
And left the show that night
The day will soon be over
And the begging will be done
No more gems be gathered
So let us all press on
When Jesus comes to claim us
And he says it is enough
The diamonds will be shining
No longer in the rough
While reading through the Bible
Such wondrous sights I see
I read of Peter, James and John
By the Sea of Galilee
And Jesus when he found them
Oh, he found them mighty tough
And they were precious diamonds
He gathered in the rough
The day will soon be over
And the begging will be done
No more gems be gathered
So let us all press on
When Jesus comes to claim us
And he says it is enough
The diamonds will be shining
No longer in the rough
Lonesome River
length: 4:24
performer: Sam Bush
I sit here alone on the banks of the river
The lonesome wind blows, the water rolls high
I hear a voice calling out there in the darkness
I sit here alone too lonesome to cry
Oh, the water rolls high on the river at midnight
I sit on the shore to grieve and to cry
The woman I love she left me this morning
With no one to love or kiss me goodnight
We met there one night by the banks of the river
Stood there holding hands and making our vows
Swear we'd never part and be happy together
But a new love she's found she's gone from me now
Oh, the water rolls high on the river at midnight
I sit on the shore to grieve and to cry
The woman I love she left me this morning
With no one to love or kiss me goodnight
With no one to love or kiss me goodnight
Some Dark Holler
length: 3:20
performer: Dwight Yoakam
Some Dark Holler
I'd rather be in some dark holler
Where the sun don't never shine
Than to be here alone knowing you're gone
While I slowly lose my mind
So blow your whistle freight train
Take me farther on down the track
I'm going away, I'm leaving today
I'm going and I ain't coming back
I'd rather be in some dark holler
Where the sun don't never shine
Than to be in some big city
In a small room with your love on my mind
So blow your whistle freight train
Take me farther on down the track
I'm going away, I'm leaving today
I'm going and I ain't coming back
I'd rather be in some dark holler
Where the sun don't never shine
Than to be here alone knowing you're gone
As I slowly lose my mind
So blow your whistle freight train
Take me farther on down the track
I'm going away, I'm leaving today
I'm going and I ain't coming back
I'm going and I ain't coming back
Yes, I'm going and I ain't coming back
The Lowlands
I'm headed for the lowlands, would you, please, direct my way ?
The train is leaving shortly, there's no time for delay
She told me she'd be waiting, I'm not so sure she is
I heard that there's another man who claims that she is his
The lowlands were my home when I was but a child
They will be my deathbed when I've past my time
I remember one summer day, the clouds began to build
We gathered the cattle that had scattered 'cross the fields
Well, it started to rain and continued several days
The river overflowed and the crops all went to waste
The lowlands were my home when I was but a child
They will be my deathbed when I've past my time
You know that I'm no failure though my victories are few
I'm trying my best but there's too much here to do
That girl I love once told me I made here feel secure
It's hard to think I've been replaced., nothing does endure
The lowlands were my home when I was but a child
They will be my deathbed when I've past my time
Love, Please Come Home
As you read this letter that I write to you
Sweetheart, I hope you understand
That you're the only love I knew
Please, forgive me if you can
Sweetheart, I beg you to come home tonight
I'm so blue and all alone
I promise that I'll treat you right
Love, oh love, oh please, come home
That old wind is cold and slowly creeping 'round
And the fire is burning low
The snow has covered up the ground
Your baby's hungry sick and cold
Sweetheart, I beg you to come home tonight
I'm so blue and all alone
I promise that I'll treat you right
Love, oh love, oh please, come home
Sweetheart, I beg you to come home tonight
I'm so blue and all alone
I promise that I'll treat you right
Love, oh love, oh please, come home
Love, oh love, oh please, come home
Love, oh love, oh please, come home
Goodnight Irene
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Last Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife have parted
I wanna take a little stroll downtown
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I take a great notion
To jump in the river and drown
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Wait your rambling, wait your gambling
Stop staying out late at night
Stay home with your wife and family
And stay fireside bright
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
I Know What It Means to Be Lonesome
length: 3:50
performer: The Nashville Bluegrass Band
Oh, I know what it means to be lonesome
And I know what it means to be blue
And I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams
When there is no one there but you
Oh, my baby left me this morning
As the clock was striking four
And the sweet smiling face of my darling
Told me I'd see her no more
I cried, I cried til my heart ached
Heaven knows what I've gone through
And I'd give all I own just to have you back home
I'm lonesome, lonesome for you
Oh, I know what it means to be lonesome
I know what it means to be blue
I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams
When there is no one there but you
I'll Be Faithful to You
length: 2:34
performer: Emmylou Harris
I can see your heart is aching
She hurt you more than she knew
Should you ever want to love again ?
I'll be faithful to you
You've been crying like the willow
When the night bird sings so blue
Trust was broken but hearts will give
And I'll be faithful to you
In this world of pain and sorrow
Where a promise don't hold true
Here's a vow you can be sure of
I'll be faithful to you
So let me dry away your lonesome tears
Like the sun melts morning dew
And I will wrap you up in true, true love
I'll be faithful to you
And I will wrap you up in true, true love
I'll be faithful to you
Tears in the Holston River
length: 4:15
performer: Johnny Cash
writer: Johnny Cash
On October 23rd, 1978
I lost a loved one and I confess, I cried
In the joyous celebration of the lady and her music
There were tears in the Holston River when Maybelle Carter died
Then walking down that river road, I saw crystal tear-shaped droplets
Silver beads of love sparklin' on the river side
And I'll just bet they turn to diamonds for the love that was behind 'em
There were tears in the Holston River when Mother Maybelle died
Then on January 8th, 1979
We lost Sara Carter and the pain was multiplied
Down below that old Clinch Mountain, we laid her at Mount Vernon
There were tears in the Holston River when Sara Carter died
Then walking down that river road, I saw crystal tear-shaped droplets
Silver beads of love sparklin' in the riverside
And I'll just bet they turn to diamonds for the love that was behind 'em
There were tears in the Holston River when Maybelle and Sara died
There were tears in the Holston River when Mother Maybelle and Sara Carter died
Fishin' Blues

Betcha' goin' fishing, all the time
Baby goin' fishing too
Bet your life, your sweet wife

Many fish bites, if you got good bait
Here's a little tip that I would like to relate
Many fish bites, if you got good bait
I'm a goin fishing, yes I'm goin fishing
And my Baby goin fishing, too
I went on down to my favorite fishing hole
Baby grabbed me a pole and line
Throwed my pole on in
Caught a 9 pound Catfish
Now you know I brought him home for supper time
Proving, any fish bites if you got good bait
Here's a little tip that I would like to relate
Many fish bites, if you got good bait
I'm a goin' fishing, yes I'm goin' fishing
And my Baby goin' fishing, too
Baby brother â??bout to run me outta my mind
Say, can I go fishing with you?
I took him on down to the fishing hole
Now what did you think that he did do?
Pulled a great big fish out the bottom of the pond
Now he laughed and jumped â??cause he was real gone
Many fish bites, if you got good bait
I'm a goin' fishing, yes I'm goin' fishing
And my Baby goin' fishing, too
Put him in the pot baby put him in the pan
honey cook â??em â??til their nice and brown.
Make a batch of butter milk hoe cakes mama
and you chew them things and you chomp â??em on down
Singing, any fish bites if you got good bait
Here's a little tip that I would like to relate
Many fish bites, if you got good bait
I'm a goin' fishing, yes I'm goin' fishing
And my Baby goin' fishing, too
Betcha' goin' fishing, all the time
Baby goin' fishing too
Bet your life, your sweet wife
Catch more fish than you
Save It, Save It
length: 1:59
performer: Jimmy Martin
Got anything good, you better save it, save it
Got anything good, you better save it, save it
Got anything good, you better save it, save it
Baby, I might need it some day
They say your cooking is the best in town
Everybody's been talking around
If it's so I'm a-coming to town
I'll let you turn my damper down
Got anything good, you better save it, save it
Got anything good, you better save it, save it
Got anything good, you better save it, save it
Baby, I might need it some day
Now stop your honky tonking around
Stop your painting up the town
Change your way from what you did
If you don't stop I'll blow my lid
Got anything good, you better save it, save it
Got anything good, you better save it, save it
Got anything good, you better save it, save it
Baby, I might need it some day
There'll come a day when you're old and gray
When all your friends have strayed away
Then I'll look at you and say
You had it but it got away
Got anything good, you better save it, save it
Got anything good, you better save it, save it
Got anything good, you better save it, save it
Baby, I might need it some day
Baby, I might need it some day

We've all got wheels to take ourselves away
We've got the telephone to say what we can't say
We all get higher and higher everyday
Come on wheels take this boy away.
Chorus:
We're not afraid to ride,
We're not afraid to die
So come on wheels take me home today
Come on wheels take this boy away.

When I feel my time here is almost up
And destiny is in my right hand
I will turn to him that made my faith so strong
Come on wheels make this boy a man.

We're not afraid to ride,
We're not afraid to die
So come on wheels take me home today
Come on wheels take this boy away.
Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms

performer: Willie Nelson
writer: [traditional]
Ain't gonna work on the railroad
Ain't gonna work on the farm,
Gonna lay 'round the track till the mail train comes back
Then I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms.
cho: Roll in my swwet baby's arms,
Roll in my sweet baby's arms,
Lay round this shack till the mail train gets back
Roll in my sweet baby's arms.
Now where were you last Friday night
While I was layin' in the jail?
Were you walkin' the streets with another man?
You wouldn't even go my bail.
I know your parents don't like me
They turn me away from your door,
If I had my life to live over
Oh well, I'd never go back anymore.
Oh Cumberland
length: 4:22
lead vocals: Emmylou Harris and Matraca Berg
writer: Matraca Berg, Gary Harrison
Fire on the asphalt L.A. freeway
Santa Anna windstorm come blow me away
'Cause this rear view mirror could use some adjustment
Some other reflection, some other place
Oh Cumberland, I'm a faithful son
No matter where I go I hear you calling me
The Mississippi's wide long, St. Paul to New Orleans
But my heart's resting on your banks in Tennessee
Lazy ol' river not a lick of ambition
Get to Kentucky then you roll on home
If you were a highway you wouldn't go nowhere
And I wouldn't be lost and all alone
Oh Cumberland, I'm a faithful son
No matter where I go I hear you calling me
The Mississippi's wide long, St. Paul to New Orleans
But my heart's resting on your banks in Tennessee
There's a stolen river in the San Fernando
Down in the valley in the shadow of greed
But I have a memory knee deep in salvation
That old muddy water that once washed me clean
Oh Cumberland, I'm a faithful son
No matter where I go I hear you calling me
The Mississippi's wide long, St. Paul to New Orleans
But my heart's resting on your banks in Tennessee
Oh Cumberland, oh Cumberland
I Am a Pilgrim
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
Travelling through this wearisome land
I've got a home in that yonder city, good lord
And it's not, not made by hand
I've got a mother, sister and a brother
Who have gone this way before
I am determined to go and see them, good lord
For they're on that other shore
I'm goin' down to the river of jordan
Just to bathe my wearisome soul
If I can just touch the hem of his garment, good lord
Then I know he'd take me home
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
Travelling through this wearisome land
I've got a home in that yonder city, good lord
And it's not, not made by hand

Catfish John
length: 4:08
performer: Alison Krauss & Union Station
Mama said, Don't go near that river,
Don't be hanging around old Catfish John
Come in the morning I'd always be there,
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn.
Take me back to another morning, to a time so long ago,
When the sweet magnolia blossomed, cotton fields as white as snow.
Catfish John was a river hobo who lived and died by the river's bed,
Looking back I still remember I was proud to be his friend.
Mama said, Don't go near that river,
Don't be hanging around old Catfish John
Come in the morning I'd always be there,
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn.
Born a slave in the town of Vicksburg, traded for a chestnut mare,
Lord her never spoke in anger though his load was hard to bear.
Mama said, "Don't go near that river,
Come in the morning I'd always be there,
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn.
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn.
Roll the Stone Away
You can swim in this old river
It's been delivered
Since the factory shut down
And like the river I'm waiting
For resurrection
Since I lost your affection
And love left town
There'll be no more crying
There's no one left to blame
Love will come out standing
So roll that stone away
We were good
But we could have been better
And the best is what we're after
When it comes right down to love
You were always the strong one
Bright as the setting sun
Go shine somewhere else my love
Some brand new world (some brand new world)
There'll be no more crying
There's no one left to blame
Love will come out standing
So roll that stone away
And like that river I'm waiting
For resurrection
Since I lost your affection
And love left town (and love left town)
There'll be no more crying
There's no one left to blame
Love will come out standing
So roll that stone roll that stone
Roll that stone away
All Prayed Up
length: 3:11
performer: Vince Gill
I'm all prayed up, I'm ready to meet my Savior
Eternal life is waitin' in the by and by
I'm all prayed up, my faith will never waiver
Heaven's doors gonna swing wide open when I die
I made my peace with Jesus a long, long time ago
Trusted in Him that He would save my soul
I walked up there beside Him, He guides me me on my way
And I know He hears me when I kneel and pray
I'm all prayed up, I'm ready to meet my Savior
Eternal life is waitin' in the by and by
I'm all prayed up, my faith will never waiver
Heaven's doors gonna swing wide open when I die
Now I ain't afraid of Satan, his wicked ways of sin
They tempted me but he couldn't pull me in
When I've gone to live with Jesus, face my judgment day
He'll fulfill for me the promise that He made
I'm all prayed up, I'm ready to meet my Savior
Eternal life is waitin' in the by and by
I'm all prayed up, my faith will never waiver
Heaven's doors gonna swing wide open when I die
I'm all prayed up, I'm ready to meet my Savior
Eternal life is waitin' in the by and by
I'm all prayed up, my faith will never waiver
Heaven's doors gonna swing wide open when I die
I'm all prayed up, my faith will never waiver
Heaven's doors gonna swing wide open when I die
Return to Dismal Swamp II (instrumental)
length: 3:18
There Is a Time
There is a time for love and laughter
The days will pass like summer storms
The winter winds will follow after
But there is love and love is warm
There is a time for us to wander
When time is young and so are we
The woods are greener over yonder
The path is new, the world is green
There is a time when leaves are falling
The woods are grey, the paths are old
The snow will come when geese are calling
You need a fire against the cold
There is a time for us to wander
When time is young and so are we
The woods are greener over yonder
The path is new, the world is green
So do you roamin' in the springtime ?
And you find your love in the summer sun
The frost will come and bring the harvest
And you can sleep when day is done
Time is like a river flowin'
With no regrets as it moves on
Around each bend the shinin' mornin'
And all our friends we though were gone
There is a time for us to wander
When time is young and so are we
The woods are greener over yonder
The path is new, the world is green
The path is new, the world is green
Will the Circle Be Unbroken
length: 4:40
composer: A.P. Carter, Charles Hutchinson Gabriel
lyricist: A.P. Carter, Ada Ruth Habershon
publishing: Charles M. Alexander
I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
To carry mother away
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by?
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
I said to the undertaker
"Undertaker, please drive slow
For this lady, you are hauling
Lord, I hate to see her go"
I will follow close behind her
Try to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in her grave
Went back home and home was lonesome
Since my mother, she had gone
Found my brothers, sisters crying
What a home so sad and lone
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by?
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
