There She Goes

and she is going round the mountain
and she is covering up her tracks
and she is going to the river
with the wind howling at her back
oh there she goes
where the water flows
with the buffaloes
oh there she goes
and she sleeps beneath the night sky
with her best friend by her side
and she rises like a new sun
and she's roaming far and wide
oh there she goes
where the farmer sows
where the wheat fields grow
oh there she goes
and this town called Macaria
oh so sweetly calls her name
blesses her with warmth and comfort
and a life without restraint
oh there she goes
where the whiskey flows
with the dancing shows
oh there she goes
and the old mans telling tall tales
if you buy him another drink
the piano is singing sad songs
into the dark she sinks
oh there she goes ...

Carry On

I'm gonna carry on
I'm gonna carry on
we stumbled through the night with cigarettes and change
and spent the days in bed, I'm gonna carry on
slumped on the couch we laughed so seriously
you laid your head you're home, II'm gonna carry on
the colours dried so bright and then they fade away
up against the wall, I'm gonna carry on
the sun goes down
I'm heading back to town
I'm gonna carry on
I'm gonna carry on
you opened up my eyes your teeth were stained with wine
I smiled and said hello, I'm gonna carry on
from the 7th floor we slowly drifted apart
you lay beneath the sea, I'm gonna carry on
the sun goes down
I'm heading back to town
I'm gonna carry on
I'm gonna carry on
wanderin' alone, drivin' back home
the bourbon moon hangs low, one place left to go
I'm gonna carry on
I'm gonna carry on

this little house was cold and dark before
you strolled in through my open door
brought your warmth and so much more
darlin’ that’s what lovin's for
our little house is full of joy and light
laughing, dancing, your smile so bright
this time luck is gonna get it right
our love’s the brightest star in the night
your love's a gift, a gift to me
it’s plain to see, we agree
thankful for all the things you do
for ridin' down this avenue
all your huggin‘ and your kisses too
and every day that I’m lovin’ you
grateful for all the seeds we’ve sown
beautiful flowers and how they’ve grown
the direction that the wind has blown
the greatest love I’ve ever known
your love's a gift, a gift to me
it’s plain to see, we agree
your love's a gift, a gift to me
it’s plain to see, we agree
oh, happy trails for you and me
the sun is shining so beautifully
through the windows of our little home
the greatest love I’ve ever known
whoa ho ho ho

My Only Son

deep down inside, down from the well
you came to me, in my prison cell
by you I stand, I'll take your hand
I’ll guide you there, to your promised land
you’re gonna fall my only son
you’re gonna fall just like me
you’re gonna fall my only son
you’re gonna fall just like me
you’re Wednesday’s child, all full of woe
Sunday’s a hill, so up you go
and so you’re born into this world
find some comfort in the girl
try and love your fellow man
help out where you can
you’re gonna fall my only son
you’re gonna fall just like me
you’re gonna fall my only son
you’re gonna fall just like me

we were lovers for more than a night
a wild fire between us burned bright
the flames they were crackling real high
but every fire is destined to die
and you opened up your heart
there was nothing for you to hide
but I stumbled into a wall
deep down in the darkness inside
we were lovers for more than a night
got lost on the path of just right
there is a dark cloud that hangs in the sky
it’s pouring rain while we say our goodbyes
and you opened up your heart
there was nothing for you to hide
but I stumbled into a wall
deep down in the darkness inside
and I know that you’ll be with another
but I hope that he's hard to find
and you’ll write another story
'bout the love that you left behind
we were lovers for more than a night
but loneliness she's a friend for life
true blue and she knows your pain
she's helping you get through it again
and you opened up your heart
there was nothing for you to hide
but I stumbled into a wall
deep down in the darkness inside

The Moon Fell Down Drunk
05:24

the Sun it is a-hiding and the Moon fell down drunk
and the light don’t come through cuz' my hearts almost sunk
and I’m your Mama’s old stove and the burners burn hot
you're a cast iron skillet and you're fryin' up cod
with two cloves of garlic and a teaspoon of salt
and you like it more savoury ain’t nobodies fault
puttin’ food on the table and we’re workin' real hard
all the children are playin' outside in the yard
the Sun it is a-hiding and the Moon fell down drunk
and the light don’t get through cuz' my hearts almost sunk
and I’m a rusty ol' banjo you're a perfect violin
and I know so many love songs don’t know just where to begin
pickin’ on a porch out on Rural #9
and there’s a warm summer breeze and it's mine all mine
and nightfall she's a-comin' to be with me
and she's a big ol' dog layin' at my feet
the Sun it is a-hiding and the Moon fell down drunk
and the light don’t get through cuz' my hearts almost sunk
and I’m a little red wagon gettin’ pulled down the street
and one wheel is broken but you still think I’m sweet
and that tattered old dress that you pulled off your doll
covers me like a blanket and I don’t know you at all
and you leave me behind on your Daddy’s front lawn
and I'm prayin’ for blue skies to come with the dawn
