Way Down South

Way down south where the wind does blow
I left my one true love
Though this story I have not told
Lest you scorn and
And we, we were only young
Our hearts full of joy
And we didn’t know what’s to come
Lest the birth of a baby boy
He was born in the dead of the night
With no moonshadow at all
He was plucked from my aching arms
With no permission at all
And we, we were only young
Our hearts full of joy
And we didn’t know what’s to come
Lest the birth of a baby boy
Now I’m old and my hair’s turned snow white
Life has not been unkind
But what I’d do just to hold my boy
My baby boy just one more time
And we, we were only young
Our hearts full of joy
And we didn’t know what’s to come
Lest the birth of a baby boy

After Wine

He said goodbye he said for the last time
We never were to good making love after wine
Suddenly everything gets real with out words
We never were to good at each others hurt
Ooohhh ohhhhhh
I said I loved you through the tears
You said nothing through the fear
That’s exactly what I needed to hear
Like a lightning bolt everything became clear
Oohhhh oohhh

Love Comes

She told me
She lost the baby
I cried and said Amen
I never saw her again
Sometime later there was a knock at the door
A pretty young girl with eyes I’d see before
She said do I have a story for you
In my heart I already knew
Love comes in strange ways
Be careful what you pray
It just might come true
Then what , what would you do
True love is sweet
When it come it makes your heart miss a beat
What you gunna do when it comes for you
What you gunna do with a love so true
Love comes in strange ways
Be careful what you pray
It just might come true
Then what , what would you do

Mother Mary

I’ve been in the valley below
I’ve been in the valley below
I’ve been high and I’ve been low
I’ve been in the valley below
I heard my mother calling my name
I heard my mother calling my name
She said girl come home or you wont feel the same
I heard my mother calling my name
I saw Mother Mary before me
I saw Mother Mary before me
She said girl rise up off those broken knees
I saw Mother Mary before me

We all have
We all have
We all have a reason to live
We all have
We all have
We all have a gift to give
So hold on
You were born
You were born
You were born to be here
Your soul has
Your soul has
Your soul has it made it clear
Its time to live
You are you
No one can do what you do
We all have
We all have
We all have a reason to live
We all have
We all have
We all have a gift to give
So hold on
You are you
No one can do what you do
