Альбом Rhonda Vincent

She pulled out of Mobile
in the pouring rain,
Moving through the darkness
like a hurricane.
From southern New Port waters
to the Cumberland so green,
Louisville by Nashville
and all points in between.
Pounding out a rhythm
making up lost time,
Heading for that
bluegrass state of mine.

(Chorus)
White smoke a rollin'
Whistle a blowin'
Listening to her engine keeping time
Kentucky borderline.

Montgomery my morning
Birmingham by noon,
Onward through the timber
upward to the moon.
Her lonesome whistle cries
a low sighed refrain,
like the boys down on Mill street
singing of the pain.
No one is gonna stop her
from her appointed rounds,
This train is moving on
its glory bound.

(Chorus)

Her lungs are full of fire
breathing burning coal,
A raging locamotion
like thunder when it rolls.
Singing for the mighty
who cast her molten steel,
Drawed the spike and layed the rail
to ride beneath her wheels.
The pride of our nation
she's a monument to them,
A southern bell
that mighty L&N

(Chorus)

My sweetheart is gone and I'm so lonely.
He said that he and I were through.
So I started out drinkin' for pastime:
Drivin' nails in my coffin over you.
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin,
Every time I drink a bottle of booze.
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin:
Drivin' those nails over you.

Instrumental break.

Ever since the day that we parted,
I've been so sad and so blue.
I'm always thinkin' of you, love,
And I just can't quit drinkin' that old booze.

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin,
Ev'ry time I drink a bottle of booze.
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin:
Drivin' those nails over you.

Instrumental break.

You turned me down, you don't want me.
There's nothin' now I can lose.
I'm just drivin' those nails in my coffin.
An' worryin', my darlin', over you.

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin,
Ev'ry time I drink a bottle of booze.
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin:
Drivin' those nails over you.

Instrumental break.

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin,
Ev'ry time I drink a bottle of booze.
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin:
Drivin' those nails over you.

Yes, I'm drivin' those nails over you.

There's a full moon out tonight
all the stars are shining bright
the same way that they used to do.
And it reminds me of
the night we fell in love
Beneath that old Missouri moon.

(Chorus)

Who'd have ever thought we'd end this way
As I watch you go the tears are rolling down my face.
Who'd have ever thought I'd be so blue
As I cry beneath that old Missouri moon.

I can't remember when it started to begin
That I gave my heart away to you
And then when we touched
I have never felt so much
It was in that moment that I knew.

(Chorus)

As I cry beneath that old Missouri moon
Missouri moon, Missouri moon.

Sometimes I feel confident
like I'm in control,
Rolling out in Vegas
and landing every roll.
But lately I ain't winning
it's snake eyes every time,
I'm losing and I'm down
to my last dime.

(Chorus)

Now every day I hope and pray
to make it through one more,
As the winter wind rushes in
and chills me to the core.
I've lost so much that nothing
is all I've got to lose,
It's one day till tomorrow
and one step ahead of the blues.

Don't tell me that I'll be alright
that's something you don't know,
Or tell me not to be uptight
or not to let it show.
My confidence is sliding
this I know is true,
I'm barely just one step
ahead of the blues.

(Chorus 2x)

It's one day till tomorrow
and one step ahead of the blues.

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene

Now I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can

You can have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene

I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene,Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene,Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene,Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene,Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Please don't take him just because you can

On the road so far from home
It's a lonesome night, I'm all alone
I ain't got nothin' left to lose
Except these heartbreakin' old achin' Blues

Chorus
She's waitin' there, I can see her now
Two years today, we took our vows
It's a hard, hard life
But I'm tryin' to
Lose these heartbreakin' old achin' Blues

When I close my eyes

I can see her there
Her ruby lips and her dark brown hair
As her face comes into view
Can't keep these heartbreakin' old achin' Blues

Chorus

She's waitin' there, I can see her now
Two years today, we took our vows
I'm heading home and soon I'll lose
These heartbreakin' old achin' Blues

These heartbreakin' old achin' Blues

You put me out, you knocked me down
You say I've cheated all over town
Well I don't blame you, I've been untrue
Well that don't chance the fact I'm still in love with you

I steered you wrong, I told you lies
Too many times I made you cry
For all the night you spent in strife
I'm givin up this cheatin' kind of lIfe

Don't pack your bags, don't close the door
You won't find another man who loves you more
Just one more chance, I'll make it right
I'm givin up this cheatin' kind of life

I'll turn around, I won't look back

We'll put this train back on the track
This time I'll love and hold you tight
And forget about this cheatin'f kind of life

Don't pack your bags, don't close the door
You won't find another man who loves you more
Just one more chance, I'll make it right
I'm givin up this cheatin' kind of life

Don't pack your bags, don't close the door
You won't find another man who loves you more
Just one more chance, I'll make it right
I'm givin up this cheatin' kind of life

I won't let ya go without a fight
I'm givin up this cheatin' kind of life

Watch where you're standing
When you close that door
'Cause if you're on the wrong side
It won't open anymore
Be sure before you leave me that it's the only way
Take off your coat and think about
What I'm about to say.....

**Chorus
I gave you my heart
I gave you my soul, completely
You've got my dreams
You've got everything that I need if you leave me alone
I'll give you my love for the rest of my life
But I want to make sure you know
You can't take it with you when you go...

I hear what you're saying
But I don't believe it's you
Tellin' me that it's all over
After all we've been through
If you found a new love
Then just tell me so
And I'll make it easy
So she'll never know...

Repeat **

You can't take it with you when you go.....

I'm just waitin' for the time to come when all sorrow will be done
Then I'll be goin' home to heaven above
Where we shall sing with the angels up there tell the Savior of his love and care
That he had for me in this world below

-- Chorus
So happy I'll be when my Savior I shall see
And tell him of his love that he had for me
No more sorrows grief or pain all the time will be the same
So happy I'll be forever more

[ ac.guitar ]
Some happy time just wait and see my blessed Savior will come for me
Then I'm goin' home to heaven above

Where my loved ones have gone before to that bright and shining shore
So happy I'll be forever more

--Chorus

[ ac.guitar ]
Oh just think of the day my friends when the saints go marching in
Then I'm goin' home to heaven above
Oh so happy I will be my blessed Savior I shall see so happy I'll be forever more

--Chorus

The one all purpose flour,
Martha White self-rising flour's
Got Hot Rise

I've Forgotten You

Well its snowing in Miami and its hailing in LA
Money's growing like green apples on the trees
I've been hanging out with Elvis, yeah and all my bills are paid
And they're giving away Cadillacs for free
The whole world gets along
And I haven't thought about you once since you've been gone

Chorus:
I've forgotten you
I've forgotten every single time you kissed me
I don't miss it like you think I do
I've forgotten you
How you held me and it felt like it's what you were born to do
If I lie enough it might come true
I've forgotten you


There's a million things about you I don't remember any more
Like that time we got that cabin up in Boulder
I don't remember how you kissed me up against that old oak door
Ain't it funny how things fade right when it's over
Yeah, I'm doing fine
I sleep just like a little baby every night

Break

Chorus

Can't you see how I've moved on
No, I haven't thought about you once since you've been gone

Chorus

He lies all alone in his bed,
He thinks of the weekend they met,
His Ol heart will never forget
their world when romance.
He'd answer if someone should ask,
that somehow she slipt through his grasp.His future is linked to the past by the ghost of a chance.

(chorus)
He hears her voice as she enters the room. She offers her soft hand to him in the light of the moon.
He holds her close, they sway to the tune. For a while he is lost in the dance with a ghost of a chance.

He's moved by the gown that she wears,
and the single red rose in her hair.
In his mind he places it there all over again. These moments in time hold him fast these memories out of his past won't die as long as he has the ghost of a chance.

(repeat chorus)

For a while he is lost in the dance,
with a ghost of a chance.

I am a pilgrim, passing thru
And I've wandered thru the world and all its beauty
I don't know, what I'll find
When I cross that river to the other side

But the Good Book said believer when you get there
In Heavens light old memories will fade
And I will see, by His grace
In The Last Best Place

It won't be easy, to say goodbye
To everyone I've loved here in this life
But when He calls me, I will go
And leave my brothers and dear sisters here below

All at once I'll be rejoicing with the angels
Resting in the promise that someday

We'll meet again face to face
In the Last Best Place

Some folks dream, of growing old
Contented with their treasures in some mansion
There are those, weary souls
Who search in vain to satisfy their passion

Some can't wait to ride that train to glory
And see St. Peter at the pearly gates
But for me, God's embrace
Is the Last Best Place

I will sing by His grace
In the Last Best Place.

Ridin' the Bluegrass Express
Ridin the Bluegrass Express
This train will soon be gone
And I'm goin home
On the Bluegrass Express

He'll cross the river in New Port Town
Louisville, Lexington, he's south bound
Richmond, Winchester, Bowling Green
Prettiest place I've ever seen

Ridin' the Bluegrass Express
Ridin the Bluegrass Express
This train will soon be gone
And I'm goin home
On the Bluegrass Express

Ridin' the Bluegrass Express
Ridin the Bluegrass Express
This train will soon be gone
And I'm goin home
On the Bluegrass Express

Ridin' the Bluegrass Express
Ridin the Bluegrass Express
This train will soon be gone
And I'm goin home
On the Bluegrass Express
And I'm goin home
On the Bluegrass Express

There'll be a homecoming some morning
When Jesus calls us away
I'll see mother and daddy
Lord I am ready
For Heaven's homecoming day

Precious ones have gone on before
our Lord waits for no man
Salvation will gain us
a ticket to see them
and a place in God's final plan

There'll be a homecoming some morning
When Jesus calls us away
I'll see mother and daddy
Lord I am ready
For Heaven's homecoming day

He will come like a thief in the night


To take us to Heaven on high
There we'll gather once more
With those we adore
In a place where we never shall die

There'll be a homecoming some morning
When Jesus calls us away
I'll see mother and daddy
Lord I am ready
For Heaven's homecoming day
(key change)
There'll be a homecoming some morning
When Jesus calls us away
I'll see mother and daddy
Lord I am ready
For Heaven's homecoming day
