Undone in Sorrow
02:56

|

Over yonder in the graveyard, where the wild, wild flowers grow
Oh, there lays my own true lover, she's gone from me forevermore.
Fairer than the sweetest flower, restless as the wildest wind,
born with a love deep as the ocean, this was the girl that I did win.
I left her there, back on the mountain, to see the world, riches to gain.
Oh, when I returned, no earthly treasure could ease this heart so full of pain.
There so high upon the mountain, beneath a little mound of clay,
the girl that I returned to marry so still among the flow'rs did lay.
I'll go away and I will wander, lay aside my earthly gain,
and I'll not end as a man with riches. Undone in sorrow I'll remain.

Dark Holler Blues

|
|

I'd rather be in some dark holler,
Where the sun don't ever shine
Than you to be some other man's darling
When you are no longer mine
When I sleep I dream about you.
When I wake I have no rest.
Every moment seems an hour...
Oh the pain in my breast.
At my gate you're always welcome
At my door, please enter in.
In my heart, I'll always love you.
You're the one I tried to win.

Had a calf I know'd it'd die x3
You could tell right well by the look in it's eye
Asked my kinfolks to come in x3
For to help me kill and skin
All the buzzards come flocking around x3
At last they lit upon the ground
They got mad enough to fight x3
Because we robbed them of their right
Keep one quarter yes I will x3
And sell the rest to Kaiser Bill
Chorus: Walk ol' Jo Bones, walk away
Walk ol' Jo Bones walk all day

Strawberry Blues
02:44
|
|||
Looked down the road, what do I see
Another man's got my woman, and the blues got me
Money, oh money, money I see
Raising strawberries made a man out of me
I've got money, I've got my shoes,
I've got a woman with the strawberry blues
Good lookin' women sure do make me tall,
I wish I could sleep tonight I have to work so hard

Lonesome Road Blues

|
|

(chorus)Look up, look down, that lonesome road
Hang down your little head and cry x2
The darkest night I ever did see was the day I left my home
The day I left my home
(chorus)
A few good friends must part sometime, so why not you and I, my love
Why not you and I
(chorus)

Cherry River Line
02:29
|
|||
Well it's lonesome here, it's lonesome all the time.
Lonesome on that Cherry, Cherry River Line.
Got a girl on yonder's mountain, I know she won't be mine.
I know that she loves me, 'cause she's always on my mind.
Yonder stands little Miguel, her wineglass in her hand.
She's drinking down her troubles, courting another man.
Well, when I die just bury me by the tie.
I can hear that Number Four when she goes rolling by.
Well, it's lonesome here, it's lonesome everywhere.
Lonesome on that Cherry, Cherry River Line

When you hear the whipporwhills a-hollering,
It's corn planting time, boys, corn planting time.
There's not a hammer in the Allegheny Mountains
That rings like mine, babe, that rings like mine.
When you hear my bulldog barking, there's somebody around, woman,
somebody around.
When you hear my forty-four a-roaring,
There's another man dead, another man dead.

C and O Train
03:02
|

The old woman's standing in the door x2
The old woman's callin' (squallin'?) and the little children bawlin'
Johnny don't you come here no more.
(chorus) I'm bound for the C and O Train x2
I'll pick up my hat and my old walking cane
Bound for that C and O Train.
Well I never will get drunk any more x2
I'll lay my head on the bar-room floor (or, lean my head on the bar-room door) and I never will get drunk, no more.
(chorus)
