Just to see them two blue eyes, Shinin' like some diamonds, Like some diamonds in the sky. Where the sun don't ever shine, Than to see you be another man's darling, And to know that you'll never be mine. With my suitcase in my hand, Yes, march me away to the station, I'm off to some far-distant land. And sometimes I have a dime, Sometimes I have ten dollars, Just to pay for little Maggie's wine. Pretty stars are made to shine, Pretty girls are made for boy's love, Little Maggie was made for mine. Well, yonder stands little Maggie With a dram glass in her hand, She's a drinkin' down her troubles Over courtin' some other man. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 04 Shenandoah Waltz In the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia Lives a girl who is waiting there for me Many times we have waltzed in the moonlight And in her lovely arms I long to be I miss her smile in the moonlight But I know she misses me too In the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia I know that her love for me is true = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 05 Thunder There is thunder in the morning Thunder through the night Thunder, thunder, thunder In the failing of the light There is thunder at the border And thunder on the plain Thunder on the mountains Without a hint of rain Thunder, thunder, thunder My God but it's so loud Just like a hundred cannons Firing right above the crowd There is thunder in the battlefield Thunder in the rain Thunder in the whiskey jar As we race to give our pain Therе is thunder in the gazes Of thе soft and bluest eyes Thunder in the phrases Of the politics and lies Thunder, thunder, thunder My God but it's so loud Just like a thousand cannons Firing right above the crowd Thunder, thunder, thunder My God but it's so loud Just like a thousand cannons Firing right into the crowd There is thunder in the marketplace Where goods are bought and sold Thunder, thunder, in the mining pits And in the hills of gold Thunder in the government And in the courts of law Thunder in the hall of mirrors That shatter like a jaw = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 06 Wargasm I see it comin' everywhere I look It's falling down like rain Kill a man over a sentence in a book And collect a reward for his pain It's such a failing situation and I'm sick of looking at it anywhere I go We let them talk us into hate and stick to war again like it's the only thing we know So what's the reason for this again? Right back where we've always been These excuses are wearing thin What's the reason for this again? What's the reason for this again? You can't decide but you've got to win We're all the same but you're not my friend So what's the reason for this again? Same shit different century Here we go again It's no parade seeing tanks on your street What's the mission, when's it gonna end How many stones do we have to line up before we understand We're caught up drawing lines on paper At the price of the blood in the sand So what's the reason for this again? Right back where we've always been These excuses are wearing thin What's the reason for this again? So what's the reason for this again? You can't decide but you've got to win We're all the same but you're not my friend So what's the reason for this again? So step into the grinder with your brother tomorrow And kiss your mother goodbye She'll wipe her tears with your ribbons and then they'll replace you in the blink of an eye So bite the bullet and boots on the ground These ain't sticks and stones Flicking matches at a powderkeg while you're standing on a pile of bones So what's the reason for this again? Can't decide but you've got to win We're all the same but you're not my friend What's the reason for this again? You are the reason I've been going psycho It's too ugly still can't keep my eyes close You're cold I still need your touch though Probably wake up and still hate you tomorrow What's the reason you never wanna conversate What's the reason you never want to stay and wait Fumbling all your words like you're afraid of me But I'm the one with the knife stuck in my back again Call my phone I decline, you're the reason why We don't love in sequence you're not even mine Show another display count how many times You can't have it your way, sacrifice my pride! So what's the reason for this again? Right back where we've always been But these excuses are wearing thin What's the reason for this again? So what's the reason for this again? You can't decide but you've got to win We're all the same but you're not my friend So what's the reason for this again? What's the reason for this again? What's the reason for this again?

Don’t take me wrong I do like East Virginia And Richmond’s full of hospitality Except for one Virginia girl I know of Who made a perfect love wreck out of me. Blue blue Virginia blue There’s no blue like blue Virginia blue No other girls in the whole wide world Will break your heart like Virginia girls There’s no blue like blue Virginia blue She called me up in St Paul Minnisota Said I need you here in Richmond right away Take the bus I’ll meet you at the station Bring your clothes ’cause I want you to stay. My bus pulled in the station late this evening And there’s no one around this place but me She must have changed her mind or she’s forgotten And her name’s not in the phone directory. I wish I had the money for a taxi And a warm and cozy place to go lie down Instead of standin’ all alone in Richmond While the cold Virginia rain is comin’ down. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 09 Dust in a Baggie [Verse 1] I ain't slept in seven days, haven't ate in three Methamphetamine has got a damn good hold of me My tweaker friends have got me to the point of no return I just took the lighter to the bulb and watched it burn [Chorus] This life of sin has got me in Well it's got me back in prison once again I used my only phone call to contact my daddy I got twenty long years for some dust in a baggie [Verse 2] Well if I would have listened to what Mom and Papa said I wouldn't be locked up in prison, troubled in the head I took that little pop and sucked until my mind was spun I got twenty years to sit and think of what I've done [Chorus] This life of sin has got me in Well it's got me back in prison once again I used my only phone call to contact my daddy I got twenty long years for some dust in a baggie [Verse 3] Sometimes I sit and wonder where my little life went wrong These old jailhouse blues have got me singing this old song My life is a disaster, Lord and I feel so ashamed In here where they call by a number, not a name [Chorus] This life of sin has got me in Well it's got me back in prison once again I used my only phone call to contact my daddy I got twenty long years for some dust in a baggie I used my only phone call to contact my daddy I got twenty long years for some dust in a baggie = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 10 Wild Bill Jones (Stanley Brothers) As I went down for to take a little walk I came upon that Wild Bill Jones He was a walking and a talking by my true lover's side And I bid him to leave her alone He said my age is twenty-one Too old to be controlled I pulled my revolver from my side And I destroyed that poor boy's soul He reeled and he staggered, and he fell to the ground And then he gave one dying moan He wrapped his arms around my little girl's neck Saying honey won't you take me home So put them handcuffs on me boys And lead me to that freight car gate I have no friends or relations there No-one for to go my bail So pass around that old long necked bottle And we'll all go on a spree For today was the last of that Wild Bill Jones And tomorrow will be the last of me They sent me to prison for twenty long years This poor boy longs to be free But Wild Bill Jones and that long-necked bottle Have been the ruin of me = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 11 Groundhog (Doc watson) Shoulder up your gun, and whistle up your dog Shoulder up your gun, and whistle up your dog Off to the woods for to catch a groundhog Oh, groundhog!
