cwater10 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I've been trying to get down To the heart of the matter But my will gets weak And my thoughts seem to scatter But I think it's about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me I've been tryin' to get down To the heart of the matter Because the flesh will get weak And the ashes will scatter So, I'm thinkin' about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muppy Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Well they're still racing out at the trestles But that blood it never burned in her veins Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview And a style she's trying to maintain Well if she wants to see me You can tell her that I'm easily found Tell her there's a spot out `neath Abraham's bridge, tell her There's a darkness on the edge of town There's a darkness on the edge of town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ferguson forever Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) I'll keep you company In one glorious harmony Waltzing with destiny forever Dance me into the night Underneath the moon shining so bright Turning me into the light Time dancers whirling past I gaze through the looking glass And feel just beyond my grasp is heaven Sacred geometry Where movement is poetry Visions of you and me forever Edited September 5, 2022 by redtail hawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 So where are the strong And who are the trusted? And where is the harmony?

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 [Sorry, posting the whole darn kit and caboddle] Talking Hard Work: Words and Music by Woody Guthrie While we're on the subject of hard work I just wanted to say that I always was a man to work. I was born working and I worked my way up by hard work. I ain't never go nowhere yet but I got there by hard work: Work of the hardest kind. I been down and I been out And I've been busted, disgusted and couldn't be trusted. I worked my way up and I worked my way down. I've been drunk and I've been sober. I've had hard times and I got hijacked And been robbed for cash and robbed for credit. Worked my way into jail and outta jail And I woke up alotta mornings and I didn't even know where I was at. But the hardest work I ever done is when I was trying to get myself a worried woman to ease my worried mind. Now I'm gonna tell you just about how much hard work I had to do to get this here women that I'm a-tellin you about. I shook hands with 97 of her kinfolks and her blood relatives and I done the same with 86 people that was just her friends and her neighbors. Kissed 73 babies and put dry pants on 34 of em' as well as others And done the same thing several times - as well as a lot of other things just about like this. I held 125 head of wild horses, put saddles and bridles on more that that, harnessed some of the craziest, wildest teams in the whole country. I rode 14 loco broncos to a dead standstill and let 42 hound dogs lick me all over. Seven times I was bit by hungry dogs and I was chewed all to pieces by water moccasins and rattlesnakes on two separate river bottoms. I chopped and I carried 314 armloads of stove wood, 100 buckets of coal, and I carried a gallon of kerosene 18 miles over the mountains, got lost, lost a pair of shoes in a mud hole. And I chopped and I weeded 48 rows of short cotton, 13 acres of bad corn and cut sticker weeds out of 11 back yards. All on accounta' cause I wanted to show her that I was a man a I liked to work. I cleaned out 9 barnloads and cranked 31 automobiles, all makes and models. Pulled 3 cars out of mud holes and 4 out of snowdrifts. I dug 5 cisterns of water for some of her friends and neighbors and run all kinds of errands. I played the fiddle for 9 churches meetings and I joined 11 separate denominations. I signed up and joined up for 7 of the best trade unions I could find And paid my dues about 6 weeks ahead of time. Waded 40 miles of swamps, 60 big rivers, Walked across 2 mountain ranges and crossed three deserts. I got the fever and I got sunstroke and I got malaria and I got the flu and I got moonstruck and skeeter bit, the poison ivy and the 7 year itch and the blind staggers. I was given up for lost and dead about 2 dozen times. Struck by lightning, struck by Congress, struck by friends and kinfolks as well as by three cars on the highways and a lotta times in peoples hen-houses. I been hit and run down and run over and walked on and knocked around And I'm just settin' here now trying to study up what else I can do to show that woman that I still ain't afraid of hard work.

Joe Ferguson forever Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Where the sun comes up about ten in the mornin' And the sun goes down about three in the day And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinkin' And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get away No one ever knew there was coal in them mountains Till a man from the northeast arrived Wavin' hundred dollar bills, said, "I'll pay you for your minerals" But he never left Harlan alive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoTom Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me (Don't let the sun) Although I search myself It's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppy Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Little darlin', I feel that ice is slowly melting Little darlin', it seems like years since it's been clear Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo Here comes the sun, and I say It's alright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
