Find me a rose for Delia
when I come round this way
and if I find old Delia
I won't run away
If I could see before me
fifty years ago
when I went off to find a wild woman
I told old Delia no
The fate of love
some may win and some may lose
I walk a country mile for the rail line
I don't know if the sun will come and ease my blues
Delia I'm doin fine
Solo
Before I fade my love
and lose another noon day sun
lookin for my fine old Delia
before she dead and gone

Oh my love went down the hillside
Left me- in the setting sun
Now the world I know is all but gone
I'm hopin things get better when the morning comes
Ooh when the morning come-It'll be Summertime
Gonna sit out back and drink my country wine
Ooh when the morning comes I'll be feelin fine-
Feelin fine.....Ooooooh I'm feelin fine
can't wait till the morning comes.
Made my money on the highway
Spent it all-on a band of gold
Built this house up on the hillside-
Hopin that my baby would stay at home
Ooh but the nighttime comes and I'm so alone
Whatever happened to my one true love?
Ooh and the nighttime comes and I'm feeling low
Gonna wait-Oooooh gonna wait till the morning comes
gonna wait till the morning comes
Solo
Chorus
Oooh my love went down the hillside
Left me-in the setting sun.

If I meet you in the town where the spirit goes
where the angels come to promenade the dawn
before you spend your lonely days in the country
before you lighten up to carry on
If you find you're goin long on empty
where the cold winds blow you to the ground
and if you find your sail is hangin low and heavy
gonna roll you up...just to roll you down
May you find safe passage through
may you find the sun on the high hill
may you be rollin on come morning
(may you be lyin low and still (last chorus only))
I know you will
I know you will
And you say your lookin for a stranger
In this final territory town
but you been blowin in the long dark danger
and even the bright sun is fallin down
Chorus
Now if I don't see you in the morning
may you find good light along the way
I got the old risin feelin
that you won't be comin round this way

Hallelujah mama, Hallelujah son,
Hope the darkness don't come my way
Come down from the hillside-hills is where I come
Hope the darkness don't come my way
Been chasing me forever, chasing me right now
Chasing me away from Thompkinsville
From all my lonesome travels-all I can now say
Hope the darkness don't come my way
And it ain't gonna get me-cause I walked a crooked line
Goin back to Mississippi gonna start a brand new life.
Left the darling woman, left the little boy
left alone my sendentary ways
Come down from the hillside on this moving train
hope the darkness don't come my way
Chorus and Solo
Now those things don't worry me
And I know they never will
Cause I'm goin up good side of the Hill
Cause I'm a going back, back to to see my son
back to see where my girl come to lay
gonna leave the highway and the setting sun
Hope the darkness don't come my way
Chorus and out

I must be leavin, goin down the road,
to where the rivers run and the roosters crow.
If you see me girl, it's really no surprise
I feel the four winds blowin from far away skies.
Oh, you better believe it
I'm a travelin man
I got the urge to run as far away as I can
and I'm relyin on the road and oh-oh-oh
I'm a travelin man.
I left you in my hometown Saratoga Springs
with a dollar bill and a diamond ring,
now I got me a new friend, she's gonna treat me right
like a whisky bottle on a summer night
Oh, you better believe it
I'm a travelin man
I'm gonna leave this town anyway I can
I'm relyin on the road and oh-oh-oh
I'm a travelin man.
Got a beard to my belly, got a dog called Joe
She's gonna follow me wherever I go
and when the winter time comes I don't know where I'll be
and when the four winds blow won't you think of me
Oh, you better believe it
I'm a travelin man
and I don't know when I'm comin back this way again
I'm relyin on the road and oh-oh-oh
I'm a travelin man.
Oh, you better believe it
I'm a travelin man
and I don't know when I'm comin back this way again
I'm relyin on the road and oh-oh-oh
I'm a travelin man.

Should you realize soon
that your love is off and goin
through the rolling rain
in the fine sun
When the light is gone
and your love is off and ridin
there's a sign of old Lee
beneath the fine sun
and it's all that I can do
you keep me blind and lovin
everyday I'm movin on
in the dark clouds
oh as long as I done know him
he never done me wrong
(he never done wrong)
As long as I done know him
he never done me wrong
I'm forty miles and I must be movin on
And when I come to you
I'll be ridin slow and steady
with my old -a- Lee
in the fine sun

Fool I Am

It tastes so sweet to be so young
I thought I lost you again
oh it don't take very long
to hear me now and then
When the life around me glows
and the calm is on the rise
I see the light it overflows
and the winds they blow and I
and I know
love'll come and go
but I'm still tryin
oh..the fool I am
Oh the rain it's been a while
since I fell (down) on my own
and you go another mile
...my heart it lays alone
So I come back along the way
can you see me comin round
if you feel me slip away
only you can slow me down
Chorus
When I leave a fool to go
and the chance will come to you
only love...love is slow
and what you feel...I feel I feel it too
it tastes so sweet...feels so fine
to be the fool I am
when the sun falls like wine
then love will come again

Goin down where no woman won't give me no love

There's a better way on down by the Cumberland Mine

There was a young man lost in a valley
tryin to find his way home
where a young girl waits by the fire
her name was Ginger Malone
Now Jack and Ginger were livin down by the river
each other's true companion
And when the wind blows
you'd swear there were wolves and angels in the canyon
oh Switchback Jack and Ginger Malone
the wolves and the angels playin all night long
in the Uncompahgre canyon of heart and stone... heart and
stone
Well he set upon a trail one early mornin
to find the mouth of the western river
and no one has heard a word from him
least of all young Ginger
And they say that he was climbin these mountains
on the day he was born
and they say that he met young Ginger
while hidin in a cave in the middle of a rain storm
oh Switchback Jack and Ginger Malone
young couple livin on their own
in the Uncompahgre... Canyon of heart and stone
Heart and stone... heart and stone
Now the town-folk are waitin for Switchback Jack to come walkin
down the road
carryin some strange and shiny treasure
from an old gold or silver mine on the Ouray ridge
or from some place better
So the winds blow strange from Curasanti
through Ginger's long hair tonight
See her sippin her Irish whiskey
and starin off into the moonlight

Baby, she left me down on the flats
And I'll never know if she ever come back
I'll never know
Cause I'm goin down to the valley tonight
Makin my way in the pale moon light
Makin my way
Singin, Goodbye country town
Goodbye, so long, I'll see you around
And fare thee well Ohio
Tell all my friends that I had to go
No sense in being alone
When I was younger, I spent all my time
Swimmin around with women and wine
When I was young
And I can remember somebody say
something about a higher place
Hallelujah
Chorus
Solo
Well I'm going down to the valley tonight
Making my way through the pale morning light
Someone say it's allright
Baby she left me down on the flats
Now all I know is that I ain't comin back
Ain't coming back

Fine Fine Morning, won't you carry me?
Down along the roads that lead to Rosalee
Fine Fine Morning, carry me away
Tonight I will be yonder from this place
If I knew then, what I know right now
I would not have stayed to linger in this town
If I knew then, what I know right now
Tonight I would be yonder from this town
Never thought I'd be such a sad, sad man
Always thought that I'd be content where I am
Didn't think I'd go down the road that I am...Goin down
Solo

Goin down, I was blind until now...
So tonight I will be yonder from this town
