Dear Lord
Now the stars are restin', settin' on the hill
An nothin' is soundin' but a whippoorwill
Down in a hollow where the foxfire glows
Dear Lord, give all your creatures there repose
The day is done, dear Lord
Tomorrow's sun, dear Lord
Is sure to come
Is sure to come
Is sure to come
We have your word, dear Lord
Now the dew is sparklin' on the spider's nest
And Every shadow's shrinkin', slowly shrinkin to the west
The breeze comes so sweetly Across the fresh-mowed hay
Dear Lord, be with us through a newborn day
A newborn day, dear Lord
A newborn day, dear Lord
Oh, let it stay
Oh, hear us pray
Oh, hear us pray, dear Lord
Sweet Talker
My pa was a farmer for fifty cents a day,
Worked the neighbor's land and he gathered in his hay
Well, he hoed that feller's beans and he sweated in his yard
When he got the family place, well, he sweated twice as hard
He was a sweet talker, pa was a tradin' man
A sweet talker
Well, he'd study and he'd scratch, and he grew what he was able
But he could not grow the money to put the meat upon the table
So he'd swap a little somethin' but he'd always get back more
When he got through tradin', there was cash for the store
He was a sweet talker, pa was a tradin' man
He was a sweet talker, you'd best count your fingers if you shake his hand
A sweet talker
Whatcha got to swap, whatcha got to trade? Hee-hee
I got a pig and a calf and a quilt just made, hee-hee
I got syrup, taters, and no need to bicker
Well, how's about a jug o' my genuine corn liquor?
He was a sweet talker, pa was a tradin' man
He was a sweet talker, you'd best count your fingers if you shake his hand
A sweet talker, ain't nothin' in the world like a tradin' fool
A sweet talker - he could swap a bent nail for a blue-eyed mule
My Feet Took To Walkin'
Sure I remember the homeplace
Sure I remember it clear
Because on the day that I left her
Was just this time of year
I can see her smile
Almost every mile
But my feet took to walkin'
My feet took to walkin'
No sense in talk anyhow
All the dreams that never were
When my feet took to walkin' away
From her
The wild rose hung by the roadside
With the honeysuckle above
And the breeze was gently a singin'
Sweet as a morning dove
Oh, I never found
Such a heartbreak sound
Till my feet took to walkin'
My feet took to walkin'
No sense in talk anyhow
All the dreams that never were
When my feet took to walkin' away
From her
