Heaven, I'm in heaven
and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek 

Oh, heaven, I'm in heaven
and the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek 

Oh, I love to go out fishing
in an ocean or a creek
But it wouldn't thrill me half as much as
dancing cheek to cheek 

Oh, I love to climb a mountain
and reach the highest peak
But it wouldn't thrill me half as much as
dancing cheek to cheek 

Won't you come and dance with me
I want my arms about you
The charms about you 
will carry me through
To heaven, I'm in heaven
The cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, won't you come and dance with me
I want my arms about you
The charms about you
will carry me through
To heaven, I'm in heaven
The cares that hung around me through the week
seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
Oh, when we're out together
out together
When we're out together
dancing cheek to cheek

They call it stormy Monday but Tuesday¡Їs just as bad 
They call it stormy Monday but Tuesday¡Їs just as bad 
Wednesday is worse and Thursday¡Їs also sad 

The eagle flies on Friday; Saturday I go out to play 
The eagle flies on Friday; Saturday I go out to play 
Sunday I go to church, hmm , 
That¡Їs when I get down on my knees and pray 

I said Lord have mercy, 
Oh Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy on me 
Yeah Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy on me 
Don¡Їt you know I¡Їm just trying to find my baby 
Won¡Їt somebody please send him on home to me 
Oh yeah

Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me, 
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me, 
Don¡Їt you know I¡Їm just trying to find my baby 
Won¡Їt somebody please send him on home to me

When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I'm on your side. When times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out,
When you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on silvergirl
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

My man don't love me 
He treats me so mean 
My man don't love me 
He treats me so mean 
Well he's the, lowest man 
That I've ever seen 

He wears high trimmed pan 
Stripes are really yellow 
Well he wears high trimmed pan 
Stripes are really yellow 
But when he starts to love me 
He's so fine and mellow 

Love will make you gamble 
And stay out all night long 
Love will make you gamble 
And stay out all night long 
Love will make you do things 
You always thought was wrong 

But if you treat me right baby 
I¡Їll stay home everyday 
Said if you treat me right baby 
I¡Їll stay home everyday 
But you're so darned mean 
I just know you're gonna drive me away 

But if you treat me right baby 
I¡Їll stay home everyday 
Said if you treat me right baby 
I¡Їll stay home everyday 
But you're so darned mean 
I just know you're gonna drive me away 

Love is like a faucet 
It turns off and on 
Love is like a faucet 
It turns off and on 
Sometimes when you think it's on baby 
It¡Їs turned off and gone 

. . .



People get ready 
There's a train a-coming 
You don't need no baggage 
You just get on board 
All you need is faith 
To hear diesels humming 
You don't need no ticket 
You just thank the Lord 
Yeah yeah yeah 

People get ready 
For the train to Jordan 
Picking up passengers 
From coast to coast 
Faith is the key 
Open the doors and board them 
There's room for all 
Among the loved and lost 

Now there ain't no room 
For the hopeless sinner 
Who¡Їs hard on mankind 
Just to save his own 
Have pity on those 
Whose chances are thinner 
Cause there's no hiding place 
From the Kingdom's Throne 

Ohh people get ready 
There's a train a-coming 
You don't need no baggage 
You just get on board 
All you need is faith 
To hear diesels a- humming 
You don't need no ticket 
You just thank the Lord 
Yeah yeah yeah 

I'm getting ready 
I - I'm ready yeah yeah yeah 
Oh I'm getting ready oh - oh 
I'm ready yeah

Blue skies smiling on me 
Nothing but blue skies do I see 
Blue birds singing a song 
Nothing but blue skies from now on. 

I never saw the sun shining so bright 
When you¡Їre in love everything¡Їs right 
Watching all the days hurrying by 
When you¡Їre in love my how they fly 

Those blue days all of them gone 
And nothing but blue sky from now on

. . .



Tall trees in Georgia, 
They grow so high 
They shade me so 
And sadly walking 
Through the thicket I go 

The sweetest love I ever had 
I left aside 
Because I did not want 
To be any man¡Їs bride 
But now I¡Їm older 
And married I would be 
I found my sweetheart 
But he would not marry me 

When I was younger 
The boys all came around 
But now I¡Їm older 
And they¡Їve all settled down 
Control your mind my girl 
And give your heart to one 
For if you love all men 
You¡Їll be surely left with none 

Tall trees in Georgia, 
They grow so high 
They shade me so 
And sadly walking 
Through the thicket I go

. . .



You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold

. . .



The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hand I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hand I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

. . .



Every honey bee fills with jealousy 
When they see you out with me 
I don¡Їt blame them goodness knows 
My honeysuckle rose 

Fly was dropping side when you¡Їre passing by 
And I know the reason why 
You¡Їre much sweeter goodness knows 
You¡Їre my honeysuckle rose 

I don¡Їt buy sugar 
You just have to touch my cup 
You¡Їre my sugar 
It¡Їs so sweet when you stir it up 

On the avenue people look at you 
And I know just why they do 
You¡Їre much sweeter goodness knows 
You¡Їre my honeysuckle rose 

 

Every honey bee fills with jealousy 
When they see you out with me 
You¡Їre much sweeter goodness knows 
You¡Їre my honeysuckle rose 

Fly was dropping side when you¡Їre passing by 
And I know the reason why 
You¡Їre much sweeter goodness knows 
You¡Їre my honeysuckle rose 

And I don¡Їt buy sugar 
You just have to touch my cup 
You¡Їre my sugar 
It¡Їs so sweet when you stir it up 

You¡Їre much sweeter goodness knows 
You¡Їre my honeysuckle rose

. . .



I don¡Їt know why I love you like I do 
After all the changes you put me through 
Stole my money, my cigarettes 
I haven¡Їt seen the worst of it yet 

I wanna know boy, won¡Їt you tell me 
Tell me how can I stay here with you 

Chorus
Won¡Їt you take me to the river 
Wash me down 
Take me to the river 
Put my feet back on the ground 

I don¡Їt know why you treat me so bad 
After all the good times that we¡Їve had 
You¡Їre sixteen candles that burn on my wall 
Now who¡Їs the biggest fool of us all 

I wanna know, won¡Їt you tell me 
Tell me how can I stay here with you 

Chorus 

Hold me squeeze me love me 
And you can tease me 
Till I can¡Їt take it no more 
Oh yeah yeah yeah 

I don¡Їt know why I love you like I do 
After all the changes you put me through 
Love is a notion I can¡Їt forget 
My sweet sixteen I would never regret 

I wanna know, won¡Їt you tell me 
Tell me how can I stay here with you 

Chorus x2

I see trees that are green, red roses too 
I watch them bloom for me and you 
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world 

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow 
They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know 
And I think to myself, ohh what a wonderful world 

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky 
Are also on the faces of the people passing by 
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "how do you do?" 
But they're really saying, "I love you" 

I see trees that are green and red roses too 
I watch them bloom for me and you 
And I think to myself, oh what a wonderful world 

 

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky 
Are also on the faces of the people passing by 
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "how do you do?" 
But they're really saying, "I love you 

I see trees that are green and red roses too 
I watch them bloom for me and you 
And I think to myself, oh what a wonderful world 

I think to myself, ooh what a wonderful world

. . .



Oh ooh, had I a golden thread 
And a needle so fine 
I would weave a magic spell 
Of rainbow design 
Of rainbow design 

In it I would weave the courage 
Of women giving birth 
And in it I would weave the innocence 
Of the children of all the earth 
Children of all the earth 

Won¡Їt you show my, my brothers and sisters 
My rainbow design 
¡®Cause I would bind up the sorrowful 
With hand and heart and mine 
Oh hand and heart and mine 

Oh ooh, had I a golden thread 
And a needle so fine 
I would weave a magic spell 
Of rainbow design 
Of rainbow design 
Mmm mmm¡­
