Sophronie

My Sophronie’s from Kentucky, she’s found another man
Can’t even kiss her, can’t even hold her hand
The moon we used to love beneath is still up in the sky
But now I’m just a hotshot with a teardrop in my eye
Love em and leave em, kiss em and grieve em
That used to be my motto so high
Till my Sophronie left me so lonely
Now there’s teardrops in my eyes
Till Gabriel blows his bugle, I’ll be loving that sweet girl
She means more to me than the whole wide world
I used to be a killer with the women me oh my
But now I’m just a hot shot with a teardrop in my eye

Lonesome River
03:41
|

|
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
Sat there holding hands and making our vows
Swore we'd never part and be happy together
But a new love she's found she's gone from me now

Lonesome Feeling
02:51

It's a lonesome feeling when you're traveling
Down a lonesome road down a lonesome road
Nobody cares a thing about me
It's a heavy load, it's a heavy load.
I fell in love in Cincinnati
Her love was true and she told me so
I gave her rings and all my money
Where she ran off to I'll never know.
It's a lonesome feeling when you're traveling
Down a lonesome road down a lonesome road
Nobody cares a thing about me
It's a heavy load, it's a heavy load.
--- Instrumental ---
I wish that I was in Kentucky
With papa and mama dear
But mama's gone and so is papa
And Kentucky's a long way from here.
It's a lonesome feeling when you're traveling
Down a lonesome road down a lonesome road
Nobody cares a thing about me
It's a heavy load, it's a heavy load.
It's a heavy load, it's a heavy load...

Summer Wages
04:22
|

|
Never hit seventeen when you play against the dealer
For you know that the odds won't ride with you.
Never leave your woman alone, when your friends are out to steal her
Years are gambled and lost, like summer wages.
And we'll rolling on till we get ro Vancouver
And the woman I love whose waiting there
It's been six long months and more since I've seen her
May be gambled and lost like summer wages.
In all the beer parlors all down along Main Street
All the dreams of the season are all spilled down on the floor
All the big stands of timber just waiting for falling
And the hustlers sitting watchfully as they wait there by the door
So I'll work on the tow boats, with my slippery city shoes
Which I swore I would never do again
Through the gray fog-bound straits where the ceders stand watching
I'll be far off and gone like summer wages
She's a woman so fine, I may never try to find her
For the good memories of what we had before
They should never be changed, for they're all that I'll take with me
Now I've gambled and lost my summer wages
Repeat first verse

You Can Have Her
03:03

Well, you can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted someone to play with
But all I wanted was love to stay
Well, you get stuck with the wrong woman
There's only one thing that you can do
Just dig a hole and jump right in it
And pull the ground right over you
Well, you can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted, someone to play with
But all I wanted was love to stay
The girl I love, she, up and left me
She ran away with my best friend
Comes home at night just for an hour
When day light comes she's gone again
Well, you can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted, someone to play with
But all I wanted was love to stay
Life without love is mighty empty
But confession's good for the soul
I'd rather have love that I can cling to
Than have the world and all of it's gold
Well, you can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted, someone to play with
But all I wanted was love to stay
Well, you can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted, someone to play with
But all I wanted was love to stay

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
And what a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer
