THIS MORNING AT NINE by Sid Campbell I awoke this morning from a lovely dream and looked about this lonely room of mine Somewhere in the distance to me it did seem church bells were ringing this morning at nine CHORUS: Bitter tears I'm shedding all because of you I'm like a lonely prisoner serving his time Thinking of the days, the days when love was true but you wed another this morning at nine My poor broken heart, it started to cry as I realized you would never be mine just then I remembered what day it really was You wed another this morning at nine CHORUS

THE WAY YOU LOOK AT HIM by Art Blackburn You were the reason I’d go to work each day You held the keys to my heart And I was your reason, that’s what you’d always say We’d grow old together and we would never part My friends, they would tell me, You’re such a lucky man to have a darlin’ wife so sweet and true But they don’t know what I know, they can’t understand what it’s like when the one you love’s fallen out of love with you CHORUS: Never meant for it to come to this, it was just one of those things A cruel and unkind twist of fate that a hard life often brings And as the sun begins to set, these walls start closin’ in I wish that you’d still look at me the way you look at him You say that you weren’t lookin’, you hadn’t played the game until the day he walked into your life Once we were so happy, once I held you near Now those warm and sunny days have turned to lonely nights CHORUS

THE GREEN MOSSY GROUND by Lisa Fuglie Oh, sing to me of hearts and of mourning for my own heart is heavy and will not withstand Let the tears gather ‘round an unknown occasion and spill from me onto the green mossy ground Though I had the desire to wait for his calling still I had not what true love requires Or so was my thought one cold winter morning when far he had traveled and long was he gone I thought to remind him of family virtue and show him the one whose face he’d not seen I found only sorrow for all of my seeking In silence he lay on the cold barren ground They said that my love had perished with honor They said that my love had called out a name He spoke of a girl he promised to marry who danced with him on the green mossy ground I bore him home to be with the elders I would that the morning smile on him now In the evening when I take to my garden I’ll wait for him there on the green mossy ground

I LOVE TO TELL THE STORY Lyrics by: Katherine Hankey, 1834-1911 Music by: William G. Fischer, 1835-1912 I love to tell the story of unseen things above Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love I love to tell the story, because I know 'tis true it satisfies my longings as nothing else can do CHORUS: I love to tell the story, I’ll sing this theme in glory and tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love I love to tell the story, 'tis pleasant to repeat what seems, each time I tell it, more wonderfully sweet I love to tell the story, for some have never heard the message of salvation from God's own holy word CHORUS I love to tell the story, for those who know it best seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song 'twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long CHORUS

NO MOTHER OR DAD by Curly Seckler & Lester Flatt Now brother and I are all alone We have no place to call our own It’ll never be like it was before They’re callin’ me on the other shore CHORUS: Oh mother, dear. and daddy too we wish that we were there with you It’s not the same since you’re away We’ll meet you mother and dad some day Our little home has crumbled down since mother and dad are not around What is a home without a friend I can never go back home again CHORUS

LISTENING TO THE RAIN by Don Devaney I’m looking out the window and the rain tonight is driving me crazy It’s just as cold inside, all the warmth is gone without my baby And in my mind something stirs an’ my lips start crying out your name I’m sitting here wondering where you are and listening to the rain The beating on the window can’t compare with the beating that I’m taking The window’s gonna hold, but look at me, I’m already breaking Memories tugging at my heart an’ it’s gonna break beneath the strain While I’m sitting here wondering where you are an’ listening to the rain My mind has got you pictured in the arms and in the heart of some new love I’ve tried to block it out but all my mind can see is him and you, love Knowin’ that it might be true, that’s the thing that’s causin’ all the pain While I’m sitting here wondering where you are an’ listening to the rain Yeah I’m sitting here wondering where you are an’ listening to the rain

THE SWEETEST SONG I SING by Tim O'Brien Was in the spring we met each other and by chance a seed was sown Now it's five years we've been together and our love, how big it's grown CHORUS: You're the one who wears my ring An' these hard times don't mean a thing I may be poor but I'm a king You are the sweetest song I sing Well, Lord knows the love we have, dear How two hearts can beat as one Your smilin' eyes, way of kissin' Lovin' touch when day is done CHORUS Some people plan for the future they build a home, they save their pay They need a sign to go on livin' But I know a better way CHORUS I may be poor but I'm a king You are the sweetest song I sing

EIGHT GOOD YEARS by Art Blackburn Don't look at me that way, say what you gotta say Get it off your chest, let's put it all to rest, don't wait another day So wipe away those tears, put aside your fears How you touched my heart, love, right from the start We've had eight good years CHORUS 1: Eight good years of loving you through the rich times and the poor Remember, dear, when our love was new Darlin', will there be eight more Do we take it one more day, or go our separate ways We've seen others fall, did they give their all, is this the price we'll pay At dawn I say a prayer each night that you'll be there Laying here with me, can’t we come to see why we've had eight good years CHORUS 2: Eight good years of loving you through the happiness and pain Has your heart become cold and blue Will the good times come again Repeat CHORUS 2 plus Remember, dear, when our love was new through the laughter and the tears Darlin', we've had eight good years (through the rich times and the poor) We've had eight good years (darlin', will there be eight more) We've had eight good years (through the happiness and pain) We've had eight good years (will the good times come again) Darlin', we've had eight good years

JUST BECAUSE OF YOU by Mark Anderson & Lisa Fuglie CHORUS: Just because of you I’ll be lonesome Just because of you I’ll be blue All because of you I should be leaving But everyone’s got problems’, I’ve got you A fool, disgraced, should be going My man, my friends, it can’t be true You came and brought me happiness that I won’t forget But you ‘ve been slippin’ out and spreading cheer every chance you get CHORUS A fool like me goes on believing the tales you tell to keep me near I just hold my head up high Pretend I’ve got no clue But in our small town the echo’s loud I know all you do CHORUS But everyone’s got problems’, I’ve got you

THE RAIN by Becky Buller The crops had all been planted but the fields were lying dry The farmer stood on his barren land, cursed the sun up in the sky The preacher Sunday morning said, Listen to what I say If you wanna see them storm clouds you better get down on your knees and pray CHORUS: Wash away your troubles Wash away your pain Thank the Lord above in heaven for sending down the rain He stepped out of the pulpit and silence filled the air As all the congregation bowed their heads in humble prayer And when amen was spoken the tears rolled down their face ‘cause the rain was streaming down outside so they sang Amazing Grace CHORUS Long ago in Bethlehem a little child came down like holy rain to quench the souls of the men upon the ground So if your heart’s been aching, He’s what you’re looking for Just take a drink form Jesus and you’ll never thirst no more CHORUS 2X For Jesus is the rain

WHY DID YOU WANDER by Bill Monroe & Lester Flatt CHORUS: Oh, why oh why did you wander Why did you ever roam when you know that we always were happy all alone in our old mountain home It was down in the old Cumberland Mountains down in the hills of Tennessee that he waited alone in the moonlight It was there that he waited for me CHORUS Oh, why did you leave me little darling Why did you leave me alone when you knew I'd be lonesome without you all alone in our old mountain home CHORUS I hope that you'll always be happy no matter where you may roam And I hope to be with you up in heaven as we were in our old mountain home CHORUS
