Theres a mighty battle coming and its well now on its way.
Itll be fought at armageddon, it shall be a sad, sad day.
In the book of revelation, words in chapter sixteen say
Therell be gathered there great armies for that battle on that day.
(refrain)
All the way from the gates of eden to the battle of armageddon
Theres been trobles and tribulation, therell be sorrow and despair.
He has said "ye not be troubled for these things shall come to pass."
Then your life will be eternal when you dwell with him at last.
Turn the pages of your bible, in st. matthew you will see,
Start with chapter twenty-four and read from one to thirty-three.
In our saviors blessed words he said on earth, he prophesised,
For he spoke of this great battle that is coming by and by.
(refrain)
Therell be nation against nation, therell be war and rumor of war.
Therell be great signs in heaven, in the sun, the moon, the stars.
Oh, the hearts of been shall fail them, therell be gnashing of the teeth.
Those who seek it will recieve it, mercy at the saviors feet.
(refrain)

Hey, sweet baby. dont you think maybe,
We can find us a brand new recipe?

And I know a spot right over the hill.

I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by;
But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die..., oh lord!
And then I jumped in the river, but the doggone river was dry.shes long gone, and now Im lonesome blue.
I had me a woman who couldnt be true.
She made me for my money and she made me blue.
A man needs a woman that he can lean on,
But my leanin post is done left and gone.
Shes long gone, and now Im lonesome blue.
Im gonna find me a river, one thats cold as ice.
And when I find me that river, lord Im gonna pay the price, oh lord!
Im goin down in it three times, but lord Im only comin up twice.
Shes long gone, and now Im lonesome blue.
She told me on sunday she was checkin me out;
Long about monday she was nowhere about.
And here it is tuesday, aint had no news.
I got them gone but not forgotten blues.
Shes long gone, and now Im lonesome blue.

Im Sorry For You, My Friend
Im sorry for you, my friend
Recorded by hank williams, sr.
Written by hank williams, sr.
[e] youve known so long that you were wrong
But still you had your [b7] way
You told her lies and alibis
And hurt her more each [e] day
But now your conscience bothers you
Youve reached your [e7] journeys [a] end
Youre [b7] asking me for sympathy
Im sorry for you, my [e] friend.
You laughed inside each time she cried
You tried to make her blue
She tagged along through right and wrong
Because she worshipped you
You know that youre the one to blame
Theres no use to pretend
Todays the day you start to pay
Im sorry for you, my friend.
Today as she walked arm in arm
At someone elses side
It made you stop and realize
That time has turned the tide
You should have known youd be alone
cause cheaters never win
You tried and lost, now pay the cost
Im sorry for you, my friend.

I Cant Escape From You

Ive [c] tried and tried to run and hide
To find a [c7] life thats [g7] new
But [c] where I go, I [f] always [c] know
I cant es-[g7] cape from [c] you.
A jug of wine to numb my mind
But what good does it do
The jug runs dry and still I cry
I cant escape from you.
These wasted tears are souvenirs
Of a love I thought was true
Your memory is chained to me
I cant escape from you.
There is no end, I cant pretend
That dreams will soon come true
A slave too long to a heart of stone
I cant escape from you.

And then I went to meet her
By the singin waterfall

Just like she used to do
And then I heard her whisper
Well meet beyond the blue.

And my tears they fell like rain.

Sometimes its har-rd but you gotta understand

I love to see the tow-owns a-passin by
And to ride these rails neath gods blue sky
Let me travel this la-and from the mountains to the sea
cause thats the life I believe he meant for me
And when Im go-one and at my grave you stand
Just say God called home your ra-amblin man.

Tennessee Moon
Written by: neil diamond & dennis morgan
Hollywood dont do what it once could do
I used to wake up and write me a song before noon
So I packed my dusty bags one night
Grabbed an old guitar and I caught a red eye(? ) flight
In search of a dream underneath the tennessee moon
I fell in love with to old hank williams tune
Makes me wonder, is it the same moon hank played under
Touched down and she stole my heart right away
Began to think for the first time I might stay
And when I heard that lonesome whistle moan
Knew Id finally found my way back home
In search of a dream underneath the tennessee moon
I fell in love with to old hank williams tune
And I wonder, is it the same moon hank stood under
When he sang about jambalaya and being lonesome enough to cry
And I can hear the echos in the sounds of his guitar
And his words still paint a picture in my heart
Yeah, in search of a dream underneath the tennessee moon
I fell in love with to old hank williams tune
I was in search of a dream underneath the tennessee moon
Yes, I fell in love with to old hank williams tune

On The Banks Of The Old Ponchartrain
Recorded by: hank williams, sr.
Written by: hank williams sr. & ramona vincent
I [a] travelled from [a7] texas to [d] old louis-[a] anne
Thru valleys, oer mountains and [e7] plains
Both [a] footsore and [a7] weary I [d] rested a-[a] while
On the [e7] banks of the old ponchar-[a] train.
The fairest young maiden that I ever saw
Passed by as it started to rain
We both found a shelter beneath the same tree
On the banks of the old ponchartrain.
We hid from the shower an hour or so
She asked me how long Id remain
I told her that Id spend the rest of my days
On the banks of the old ponchartrain.
I just couldnt tell her that I ran away
From jail on a west texas plain
I prayed in my heart I would never be found
On the banks of the old ponchartrain.
Then one day a man put his hand on my arm
And said I must go west again
I left her alone without saying goodbye
On the banks of the old ponchartrain.
Tonight as I sit here alone in my cell
I know that shes waiting in vain
Im hoping and praying someday to return
To the banks of the old ponchartrain.
