Banks Of Ohio
I asked my love to take a walk, to take a walk, just a little walk
Down the side where the waters flow, down by the banks of the Ohio
Chorus:
And only say that you'll be mine, in no other's arms entwined
Down the side where the waters flow, down by the banks of the Ohio
I held a knife against his breast, as into my arms he pressed
He cried, "My love, don't you murder me, I'm not prepared for eternity"
(chorus)
I wandered home 'tween twelve and one, I cried, "My God, what have I done?
I've killed the only man I love, he would not take me for his bride"
(chorus)
Down by the banks of the Ohio

Banks Of The Ohio
(traditional)
I asked my love to take a walk
To take a walk, just a little walk
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the ohio
And only say that youll be mine
In no others arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the ohio
I held a knife against his breast
As into my arms he pressed
He cried my love, dont you murder me
Im not prepared for eternity
I wandered home tween twelve and one
I cried, my god, what have I done?
Ive killed the only man I love
He would not take me for his bride
And only say that youll be mine
In no others arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the ohio

Ohio
Crickets are chirping
To the awakening mother Earth
Frogs are croaking again,
I am walking on the land
That I have walked long ago
As I am walking back, to Ohio.
Ohio I have missed you
My long gone friend
How good it is to be back home,
I am sorry that I left you
But now I am home again
Back to my home, of Ohio,
Ohio don't you leave me
Like I had left you
Trying to find myself a better home,
I have searched and I had prayed
But now I am home again
Back to my home of, Ohio.
Crickets are chirping
To the awakening mother Earth
Frogs are croaking once again,
Now I am walking with them
As I walk down the wooded path
Back to my home, of Ohio.

From the Banks of Ganga: IV
I sit by your banks
In awe of your flow
A parallel flow within
Watches every ripple:
Indefinable happiness
Peace is absence of
Even a ripple of thought
What follows peace is bliss
I suppose…
Loitering and searching
The best place to meet
The loved one is by
One's own banks of the heart
Where flows Gangs of love
The flow overwhelms me
Doesn't allow me stretch my hand
For the other…
I'm unto myself!
So you flow
So do I
Not against your tide
But with your flow
Flow Flow Flow!

Are You Gonna Be There
If I was down
Would your arms lift me up to higher ground
With just the strength of your love
When I was lost
Would I find something in your eyes to lead me home
And if it all went wrong
Would you be there to hold
It's easy to be there through the good times
But when the times get hard
Would you stay or walk away
Chorus:
Are you gonna be there when the rain comes
Are you gonna be there with the water
Can you say you'll be there with the river
Are you gonna be there
Will you stand by my side through the bad times
Through whatever we'll be will you still be mine
Will you stay in my life for a lifetime
Are you gonna be there
When I need someone to hold
Someone there for me
Are you gonna be there
In all my world
If it should all fall down
Will you be there
Be there to turn it around
Will you still care
Can I depend on you to see me through this life
If it all goes wrong
Will you still make it right
It's easy to be there through the good times
But when the times get hard
Will you still be on my side
Chorus
When I need someone beside me
Someone there for me
Are you gonna be
There with the arms to hold me
There with the love I need
Then will you be there
Will you be there
Heart and soul
I need to know
Are you gonna be there
Are you gonna still care
(Are you gonna still care)
Are you gonna be there
Will you stand by my side
(Stand by my side)
Are you gonna be mine
Are you gonna be there
(Are you gonna be there)

Shall I See My Boy Again
Must I die so soon? ah, far away
By blue Ohio's shore,
A little group waits patiently
Till this sad war is o'er;
A little face is often pressed
Against the window pane,
Oh, chaplain only tell me this
Shall I see my boy again?
Must I never press close to my heart
The rings of shining hair,
Or listen to my bright-eyed child
Whisper his evening prayer,
Shall I never hear his bounding step
Across the cottage floor?
It were not hard to die, chaplain,
Could I see my boy once more.
When morning broke with solemn tread
On old Potomac's banks,
His comrades laid the soldier down -
Discharged from the ranks,
But many a day o'er western hills,
By blue Ohio's shore,
A little boy will patient wait,
When this sad war is o'er.

I Wont Walk Away
A lonely street lamp
Im out on the street walking home
A small pale blur
Leaving trails like a snail I move so slow
Time can bruise violent indigo
Rush home to your arms
You soothe my weary soul
Chorus:
Wrong or right, be mine tonight
Harsh world be damned, well make a stand
Love can bind, but mine is blind
Others stray, but I wont walk away
Walk away
The clubs are full
Of couples resisting being one
They wear their youth
Like badges that tarnish all too soon
But well be a team
Our two will be one
Love will be our fortress
When all else comes undone
Chorus
Sometimes the world dont make sense
Small children filled with violence
Let our light
Shine through the night
Chorus
I wont walk away
(repeated till fade out)

I Love It When You Smile
Chorus
I love it when you smile
When you're with me honey
It happens all the while
How it kills me when you cry
And you know my heart
That's no word of a lie
Verse One
Everyday you show me something new about you
Honestly I could never live without you
Look at me here's a soul who'll never doubt you
And I will be forever by your side
Repeat Chorus
Verse Two
Probably the greatest feeling I have ever known
Actually is when you wrap yourself around me
Promise me you'll stay now that I've found you
And I will be forever by your side
Repeat Chorus

And you could say you've heard it all before
And I know that anyday you may walk out the door
When I say no one will love you more believe me
And I will be forever by your side

Walk On

Oh aint life wonderful
When everything is right
But sometimes wonderful
Can fall apart sometimes
When your troubles knock you down
Pick yourself up off the ground and
Chorus:
Walk on
Walk on
Nothing ever stays wrong that long
Walk on
Oh walk on
Dont just stand there in the storm
Walk toward the light till you find the sun
And youll be better off in the long run
And walk on
Oh its a heartache when love comes to an end
But even though your heart breaks
You know its gonna mend
Keep the faith right through goodbye
And dont you ever break your stride
Repeat chorus x2

Why Should I Care for the Men of Thames
Why should I care for the men of thames
Or the cheating waves of charter'd streams
Or shrink at the little blasts of fear
That the hireling blows into my ear
Tho born on the cheating banks of Thames
Tho his waters bathed my infant limbs
The Ohio shall wash his stains from me
I was born a slave but I go to be free.

Then She Kissed Me
Well, she walked up to me
And she asked me if I wanted to dance
She looked kind of nice
And so I said I might take a chance
When we danced she held me tight
And when I walked her home that night
All the stars were shinin bright
And then she kissed me
Each time I saw her I couldnt wait to see her again
I wanted to let her know that she was more than a friend
I didnt know just what to do, so I whispered I love you
She said that she loved me too and then she kissed me
She kissed me in a way that Id never been kissed before
She kissed me in a way that I want to be kissed forever more
I knew that she was mine, so I gave her all the lovin I had
And one day she took me home to meet her ma and her dad
Then I asked her to be my bride and always be right by my side
Felt so happy, she almost cried and then she kissed me
Then I asked her to be my bride and always be right by my side
Felt so happy, she almost cried and then she kissed me
And then she kissed me
And then she kissed me

Watching Fireworks
The crowds are gathering
along the Ohio river bank
tonight, to watch the
famous Rossi's fireworks.
One side Ohio, the other
side Kentucky. Here I sit
wondering where are you,
wishing you were here with
me, missing you.
The night sky is ablaze
with beautiful fusions.I
saw your face in a star
burst, flashing across
the northern sky.
I reached to touch you.
I wanted to chase it.
But in an instant all
was gone.The color
display so wonderful,
I sat in amazement.
I searched the mid-night
skies looking for you,
trying to draw you near.
Somehow you had escaped.
As the evening was ending
I once again drew you unto
myself.In loving thoughts
I say, good-night honey
I love you, rest well.

Finish What We Started
Lyin on our backs we stared at the stars
Tryin to count them or guess how far
I still remember the way that it felt
The night we hung our dreams out on orions belt
The moonlight danced out on the waters edge
We started a walk that hasnt ended yet
Chorus
And step by step and mile by mile
Taking each turn together
Following the signs that point to forever
And side by side
True and tenderhearted
Well finish what we started
The road we have traveled has sometimes been steep
And weve crossed troubled waters that were raging and deep
But with memories to lean on and love as our guide
Theres no path too winding, no river too wide
One foot in front of the other each day
Keeping a promise that two young lovers made

Live To Tell It All
True love is understated
True love is being known
Oh Ive never felt so connected
And two hearts have found a home
Chorus:
And no matter how we struggle
Oh Ill answer when you call
And well walk away from trouble
And live to tell it all
Safe in my arms Ill keep you
Never more to roam
And I promise to lay down beside you
When our names are carved in stone

Walk Away
There's a river of tears i need to cry
Been holding back for years
There's a mountain so high i need to climb
To wipe away the fears
Solitude and loneliness have been a friend of mine
As i'm turning my back on emptiness
I leave them all behind
Who knows just where i'm going
Does tomorrow belong to me
[Chorus:]
Walk away this time with my head up high
Walk away just me and myself
Walk away with pride
Nothing left to hide
But it just feels right to be one
And just walk away
I could never forget how hard I tried
When we were oh so young
Just one tender moment I cannot find
Maybe I had none
Strength will be by my side
Although I feel afraid
But I know it's too late for this goodbye
There's nothing left to say
Who knows just where I'm going
Does tomorrow belong to me
[Chorus]
Walk away this time with my head up high
Walk away just me and myself
Walk away with pride
Nothing left to hide
But it just feels right to be one
And just walk away this time
One day you'll realise
That the tears you saw in my eyes
Won't be there forever
[Chorus to fade]

He Doesn't Love Me
vs.1 The way you look at me,
It's a magical feeling.
When I'm with you,
There's nothin' I'm fearing.
Oh, I wish I could say
The same for him,
But he's not mine,
And I'll tell them:
(Chorus)
He doesn't love me,
La la la la love me anymore.
He doesn't love me,
Threw me down hard on the floor.
He doesn't love me,
But I love you.
He doesn't love me,
Love me like you do.
vs.2 I ran into him
The other day.
I didn't seem to have
Anything to say.
So I just walked on by,
But then he called my name.
So I had no choice, but
To walk away in shame:

Oh, he doesn't love me, love me
Like you do.
Love me like you do!

Don't Let Her Get Away
(Vince Gill / Al Anderson)
There's nothin' like the feelin'
When you finally find someone
You're wastin' your time
Thinkin' the whole thing through
If you take her for granted
Man, it's gonna come undone
Don't wait another minute
'Cause she's in love with you.
Chorus:
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Well, every gun town would love
To be in your shoes
They've never seen a woman
Ever look so fine
They're all waitin' for the chance
To walk all over you
Son I'd have to tell
I'd be the first in line.
Chorus:
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Any fool can see you've got it made
A love like this don't come around everyday.
Chorus:
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Chorus:
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.

River Of Happiness

Somewhere a river of happiness flows
Well sit on its banks while the warm breezes blow
Somewhere theres a garden where only love grows
Somewhere a river of happiness flows
Dry your eyes, dont cry no more
Well find a place where theres laughter and joy
So take my hand and dont let go
Come with me and together well go

Well walk in the sunshine
Well laugh and well sing
And dance to the tune that our happiness brings
Come go with me to this place I speak of
Together, well find it, this place is called love
