The King of Whippoorwill Bay
There's a dirt road town on the coast of Carolina
I spent my childhood playing In the cane
The world was big and living was easy then
Growing up in the town of whippoorwill bay
I fell in love the day that I turned seventeen
With a boy who told me tales of far away
He took my heart in the sand on a summer night
And he became the king of the whippoorwill bay
But he loved me like a wanderer loves his train
Too alone to leave me, too alone to stay
He left on a Sunday morning, headed west they say
But that boy who stole my heart, will always be a part of me
He'll always be the king of the whippoorwill bay
I followed him as far as the county line
And through my tears I begged for him to stay
But silent as a prayer, he hung up his crown
Never to return to whippoorwill bay
But he loved me like a wanderer loves his train
Too alone to leave me, too alone to stay
He left on a Sunday morning, headed west they say
But that boy who stole my heart, will always be a part of me
He'll always be the king of the whippoorwill bay
It's been eight years since he left me by the water
Now I love a man who never ran away
as I stand here in the town I once loved so much
I think back to the king of the whippoorwill bay
But he loved me like a wanderer loves his train
Too alone to leave me, too alone to stay
He left on a Sunday morning, headed west they say
But that boy who stole my heart, will always be a part of me
He'll always be the king of the whippoorwill bay

Till The End
Hold me close and kiss me as the band plays slow
Look at me like no one else is there
Two step me away, from my lonely heart
For a song, it’s just you and me here
You look like sin bathed in this neon glow
You’re as handsome as the day you had to leave
You flash me a smile I havent seen in years
And I know you’re the man I hoped you’d be
Sing me a song thats worth hearin’
Pray me a prayer that gets heard
Darlin’ please, dont stop slow dancin’
Till the end of this song you’re my girl
It’s like we’ve lived a lifetime on this dancehall floor
Growin’ old with every verse they play
But time keeps on movin’ like a summer’s breeze
and I know that you could never stay
Sing me a song thats worth hearin’
Pray me a prayer that gets heard
Darlin’ please, dont stop slow dancin’
Till the end of this song you’re my girl
Till the end of this song you’re my girl

Good 'Ole Tennessee
Well I’ve, had my fill, of white Christmases
And I can’t have one more New England missus
I’m through with all of these empty kisses
I’m on the next train home
So give me sun and good corn liquor
A field of dogwoods and the cumberland river
I’m headed for the hills of
Good 'Ole Tennessee
Well, Ive grown tired, of that west coast ocean
Where the ladies laugh with, no emotion
The whole ordeal has left me, with the notion
that I’m on the next train home
So give me sun and good corn liquor
A field of dogwoods and the cumberland river
I’m headed for the hills of
Good 'Ole Tennessee
Well I’ve enjoyed that southwest brisket
But I’ve got more sense than to go and risk it,
I’ve nothing bad to say about Texas
But I’m still on the next train home
So give me sun and good corn liquor
A field of dogwoods and the cumberland river
I’m headed for the hills of
Nashville Tennessee
So give me sun and good corn liquor
A field of dogwoods and the cumberland river
I’m headed for the hills of
Good 'Ole Tennessee

Jane
Oh Jane, why do you cry
You think this bar room don't see
Your laughing eyes hide stormy skies
Oh Jane, why do you cry
And Jane, your beauty is wild
Your hair it moves like the sea
And you flash a smile I can't believe
Oh Jane your beauty is wild
You sing a song no body else hears
To the devil you paid for your life
But the devil ain't leavin, he's at the bar dealin
You to the boys for the night
Jane you light up a room
This dirty old dance floor’s your stage
You whirl and twirl my blues away
Oh Jane you light up a room
You sing a song no body else hears
To the devil you paid for your life
But the devil ain't leavin, he's at the bar dealin
You to the boys for the night
And you once dreamed a dream, there's a man out there
That'd treat you the way that you like
But you've started believing, the love that you're needing
Is a love that just ain't right
And Jane, please don't go,
I know you're headed out west
But I've been saving my daily wage
To hold you close with the devil paid
Oh Jane, please don't go
Oh Jane, please don’t go

Will The Circle Be Unbroken
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
I was standing by my window
On a dark and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
Undertaker, Undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For this lady you are carrying
Lord I hate to see her go
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
Oh, I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky

Help Me Make It Through The Night
Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft upon my skin
Like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side
In the early mornin' light
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night
I don't care what's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
'Cause tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
I don't care what's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
'Cause tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's bad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
I don't want to be alone
Help me make it through the night
