LET'S STICK TOGETHER
Well, a marriage vow, you know, it's very sacred
The man put us together, now, you wanna make it, stick together
Come on, come on, stick together.

You know, you made a vow, not to leave one another, never

Well, ya never miss you water till your well runs dry
Come one, baby, give our love a try, let's stick together
Come on, come on, stick together
We made a vow, not to leave one another, never.

Well, ya never miss your water till your well runs dry
Come one, baby, give our love a try, let's stick together
Come on, come on, stick together
You know, we made a vow, not to leave one another, never.

It might be tough for a while, but consider the child
Cannot be happy without his mom and his pappy, let's stick together
Come on, come on, stick together
You know, we made a vow, not to leave one another, never.

WHEN DID YOU LEAVE HEAVEN?
When did you leave heaven?
How could they let you go?
How's every thing in heaven?
I'd like to know.

Why did you trade heaven?
For all these earthly things?
Where did you hide your halo?
Where did you lose your wings?

Have they missed you?
Can you get back in?
If I kiss you would it be a sin?
I am only human but you are so divine.
When did you leave heaven angel mine?

SALLY SUE BROWN
Look who's back in town
Ain't nobody but Sally Sue Brown
All you boys better run for cover
If you don't a-wanna be a broken hearted lover.

See her in that very tight skirt
Got what it takes
Just to make you hurt
Don't you see by those big bright eyes
Prefer to treat her nasty and low down lies.

Makes no difference where she's been
I'm go in south and doin' them things again
Bake in a hot tub, down the line
I'd rather see you ruin this a-heart of mine.

I'll go see them come down my way
Like a fool you're not gonna hear me say:
"Lay your bed Sally Sue Brown
Please let me love you, baby, don't put me down".

Makes no difference where she's been
I'm go in south and doin' them things again
Bake in a hot tub, down the line
I'd rather see you ruin this a-heart of mine.

I'll see come and down my way
Like a fool you're not gonna hear me say:
"Lay your bed Sally Sue Brown
Please let me love you, baby, don't put me down".

DEATH IS NOT THE END
When you’re sad and when you’re lonely
And you haven’t got a friend
Just remember that death is not the end
And all that you’ve held sacred
Falls down and does not mend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

When you’re standing at the crossroads
That you cannot comprehend
Just remember that death is not the end
And all your dreams have vanished
And you don’t know what’s up the bend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

When the storm clouds gather ’round you
And heavy rains descend
Just remember that death is not the end
And there’s no one there to comfort you
With a helpin’ hand to lend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

Oh, the tree of life is growing
Where the spirit never dies
And the bright light of salvation shines
In dark and empty skies

When the cities are on fire
With the burning flesh of men
Just remember that death is not the end
And you search in vain to find
Just one law-abiding citizen
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

HAD A DREAM ABOUT YOU, BABY
I got to see you baby, I don’t care
It may be someplace, baby, you say where
I had a dream about you, baby
Dream about you, baby
Late last night you come rollin’ across my mind

You got the crazy rhythm when you walk
You make me nervous when you start to talk
But I had a dream about you, baby
A dream about you, baby
Late last night you come rollin’ across my mind

I stand on highway, baby, flag me down
Said, take me Daddy, to the nearest town
I had a dream about you, baby
Had a dream about you, baby
Late last night you come a-rollin’ across my mind

The joint is jumpin’
It’s really somethin’
The beat is pumpin’
My heart is thumpin’
Spent my money on you honey
My limbs are shakin’
My heart is breakin’

You kiss me, baby, in the coffee shop
You make me so bad, i tell you to stop
But I had a dream about you, baby
Dream about you, baby
Late last night you come a-rollin’ across my mind

The joint is jumpin’
It’s really somethin’
The beat is pumpin’
My heart is thumpin’
Spent my money on you honey
My limbs are shakin’
My heart is breakin’

You better please get a rag around your head
Wearing a long dress fire engine red
I had a dream about you, baby
Dream about you, baby
Late last night you come a-rollin’ across my mind

UGLIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD
When a woman that I love she got a hook in her nose
Eyebrows meet, she wears second hand clothes
She speaks with a stutter and she walks with a hop
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
You know I love her
Yeah, I love her
I'm in love with the ugliest Girl in the world

If I ever lose her I’ll go insane
I go half crazy when she calls my name
She says babababababy l-l-love love you
There ain't nothing in the world that I wouldn't do
You know I love her
Yeah, I love her
I'm in love with the ugliest girl in the world

The woman that I love she got two flat feet
Her knees knock together walking down the street
She cracks her knuckles and she snores in bed
She ain't much to look at but like I said
I love her
Yeah, I love her
I'm in love with the ugliest girl in the world

(She’s so ugly
Man, she’s ugly
Gotta be ugly
Only ugly
She’s so ugly
She’s so ugly)

I don't mean to say that she got nothing goin'
She got a weird sense of humor that's all her own
When I get low she sets me on my feet
Got a five inch smile but her breath is sweet
You know I love her (she’s so ugly)
Yeah, I love her (man, she’s ugly)
I'm in love with the ugliest girl in the world, eh!

(She’s so ugly
Man, she’s ugly
Gotta be ugly
Only ugly
Ugly, ugly
She’s so ugly)

The woman that I love she got a hook in her nose (aha)
Her eyebrows meet she wears second hand clothes (yeeeah)
She speaks with a stutter and she walks with a hop
Don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
I know I love her (she’s so ugly)
Yeah, I love her (man, she’s ugly)
I’m in love with the ugliest girl in the world (gotta be ugly)

(She’s so ugly
Man, she’s ugly
Gotta be ugly
Only ugly
Ugly, ugly
She’s so ugly)

SILVIO
Stake my future on a hell of a past
Looks like tomorrow is a-coming on fast
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got
Seen better times, but who has not?
Silvio
Silver and gold
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Silvio
I gotta go
Find out something only dead men know

Honest as the next jade rolling that stone
When I come knocking don't throw me no bone
I'm an old boll weevil looking for a home
If you don't like it you can leave me alone
I can snap my fingers and require the rain
From a clear blue sky and turn it off again
I can stroke your body and relieve your pain
And charm the whistle off an evening train
Silvio
Silver and gold
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Silvio
I gotta go
Find out something only dead men know

Give what I got until I got no more
I take what I get until I even the score
You know I love you and furthermore
When it's time to go you got an open door
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain
You give something up for everything you gain
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain
Pay for your ticket and don't complain
Silvio
Silver and gold
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Silvio
I gotta go
Find out something only dead men know

One of these days and it won't be long
Going down in the valley and sing my song
I will sing it loud and sing it strong
Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong
Silvio
Silver and gold
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Silvio
I gotta go
Find out something only dead men know
Silvio
Silver and gold
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Silvio
I gotta go
Find out something only dead men know
Silvio
Silver and gold
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Silvio
I gotta go
Find out something only dead men know

NINETY MILES AN HOUR (DOWN A DEAD END STREET)
I took you home from a party and we kissed in fun
A few stolen kisses and no harm was done
There stopping when we could we went right on
Till suddenly we found that the brakes were gone.

You belong to someone else, and I do too
It's just crazy bein' here with you
As a bad motorcycle with the devil in the seat
Going ninety miles an hour down a dead end street
Ninety miles an hour down a dead end street.

I didn't want to want you, now I have no choice
It's too late to listen to that warning voice
All I hear is thunder of two hearts beat
Going ninety miles an hour down a dead end street
Yeah, ninety miles an hour down a dead end street.

You're not free to belong to me
And you know I could never be your own
Your lips on mine are like a sweet, sweet wine
But we're heading for a wall of stone.

Warning signs are flashing ev'ry where, but we pay no heed
'Stead of slowing down the place, we keep a pickin' up speed
Disaster's getting closer ev'ry time we meet
Going ninety miles an hour down a dead end street
Yeah, ninety miles an hour down a dead end street
Well, ninety miles an hour down a dead end street.

SHENANDOAH
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, you rollin' river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, we're bound away across the wide Missouri

Now the Missouri is a mighty river
Look away, you rollin' river.
Indians camp along her border
Look away, we're bound away across the wide Missouri

Well a white man loved an Indian maiden
Look away, you rollin' river
With notions his canoe was laden
Look away, we're bound away across the wide Missouri

Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Look away, you rollin' river
It was for her I'd cross the water.
Look away, we're bound away across the wide Missouri

For seven long years I courted Sally
Look away, you rollin' river
Seven more years I longed to have her
Look away, we're bound away across the wide Missouri

Well, it's fare-thee-well, my dear, I'm bound to leave you
Look away you rollin' river
Shenandoah, I will not deceive you
Look away, we're bound away across the wide Missouri

RANK STRANGERS TO ME
I wandered again to my home in the mountain
Where in youth's early dawn I was happy and free
I looked for my friends but I never could find them
I found they were all rank strangers to me.

Ev'rybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger
No mother or dad not a friend could I see
They knew not my name and I knew not their faces
I found they were all rank strangers to me.

They all moved a way, said a voice of a stranger
"To that bautiful shore by the bright crystal sea"
Some beautiful day I'll meet 'em in heaven
Where no one will be a stranger to me.

Ev'rybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger
No mother or dad not a friend could I see
They knew not my name and I knew not their faces
I found they were all rank strangers to me.
