Lyrics Emmylou Harris - K-S-O-S

Come gather round me boys and lend an ear
I've got some things I think you all should hear
It's time to shift into another gear
I've reached my final destination bought a radio station
And she's fifty thousand watts pure and clear
K-S-O-S help is on the way twenty-four hours of every day
A voice in the wilderness and we're here to stay K-S-O-S
[ guitar - banjo ]
K-S-O-S help is on the way...
K-S-O-S help is on the way...

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Darkest Hour Is Just Before Down

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Darkest Hour Is Just Before Down

(Ralph Stanley)

The sun is slowly sinkin'
The day's almost gone
Still darkness falls around us
And we must journey on

The darkest hour is just before dawn
The narrow way leads home
Lay down your soul at Jesus' feet
The darkest hour is just before dawn

Like a shepherd out on the mountain
A-watchin' the sheep down below
He's coming back to claim us
Will you be ready to go

The darkest hour is just before dawn
The narrow way leads home
Lay down your soul
Let Jesus in
The darkest hour is just before dawn
The darkest hour is just before dawn

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Not Enough

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Not Enough

Oh my darling, I miss you so.
How I loved you, you'll never know.
Though it's time for me to let you go.
Oh my darling, I'll miss you so.

Can't believe you're really gone for good.
I still hold on to places you once stood.
I should move on, but I never could,
Really believe you're gone for good.

Oh my friend, what could I do?
I just came home to bury you.
The road is long, the road is rough.
Your in my heart, that's not close enough.

All those years, disappear
All my tears, are not enough, not enough.
How can it be the ties that bind,
Cut down deep and are so unkind?
When we lose them we will never find,
Anything stronger than the ties that bind.

I still have your memory.
One or two pictures of you and me.
Life is long and life is tough,
But when you love someone,
Life is not long enough.

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Even Cowgirls Get The Blues

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Even Cowgirls Get The Blues

(Rodney Crowell)
She's a rounder I can tell you that
She can sing 'em all night, too
She'll raise hell about the sleep she lost
But even cowgirls get the blues
Especially cowgirls, they're the gypsy kind
And need their laid on 'em loose
She's lived to see the world turned upside down
Hitchin' rides out of the blues
But even cowgirls get the blues sometimes
Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin' like she's too far gone
The only way she's ever been
Lonely nights are out there on the road
Motel ceiling stares you down
There must be safer ways to pay your dues
But even cowgirls get the blues
Even cowgirls get the blues sometime
Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin' like she's too far gone
The only way she's ever been
Even cowgirls get the blues sometime
Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin' like the restless wind
The only way she's ever been

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Mystery Train

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Mystery Train

Train arrive 16 coaches long
Train arrive 16 coaches long
Well, that long black train
Took my baby back home
Train train, rolling round the bend
Train train, rolling round the bend
Well, it took my baby
Away from me again
Went down to the station
To meet my baby at the gate
Ask the station master
If her train is running late
He said no if your wait
On that old 44
I hate to tell you son
But that train don't stop her anymore
Train train, rolling round the bend
Train train, rolling round the bend
Well, it took my baby
Away from me again
Heard that whistle blowing
It was the middle of the night
When I got down to the station
The train was rolling out of site
Mystery train, rolling round the bend
Mystery train, rolling round the bend
Well, it took my baby
Away from me again

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Angel Eyes

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Angel Eyes

Angel eyes, angel eyes
The ways of the world are feeble
Don't give up on simple people

Angel eyes.......
The blues you can live without
It's not what you song's about

Angel eyes, angel eyes
Tell me what would we do without
No light from angel eyes
You can move the hearts of men
Just with a phrase you're turning
Since hearts ever have been yearning......... and so alone

Thin lines you've been living on
Are so close to the danger zone

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - If I Could Only Win Your Love

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - If I Could Only Win Your Love

If I could only win your love
I'd make the most of everything
I'd proudly wear your wedding ring
My heart would never stray when you're away

If I could only win your love
I'd give my all to make it live
You'll never know how much I give
If I could only win your love

Oh how can I ever say
How I crave your love when your gone away
Oh how can I ever show
How I burn inside when you hold me tight

If I could only win your love
I'd give my all to make it live
You'll never know how much I give
If I could only win your love

Oh how can I ever say
How I crave your love when your gone away
Oh how can I ever show
How I burn inside when you hold me tight

If I could only win your love
I'd give my all to make it live
You'll never know how much I give
If I could only win your love

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - I Hear A Call

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - I Hear A Call

I hear a call
Now will answer
Forsake my all
To serve another
Though darkness falls
Stay a believer
I hear a call
Now will answer

I see a light Now will I follow
Fill up this life
That grows more hollow
Make joy reside
Where there lives sorrow
I see a light
Now will follow

I hear a call
From out of nowhere
And from anywhere I go
I hear a call
Now will answer

I feel a touch
Now will I hold on
Be there with love
For those with no one
With a kindness such
It lives though I'm gone
I feel a touch
Now will I hold on

I hear a call
From out of nowhere
And from everywhere I go
I see a light
Now will I follow
I feel a touch
Now will I follow
I hear a call
Now will I answer

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Never Be Anyone Else But You

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Never Be Anyone Else But You

There'll never be anyone else but you for me
Never ever be, just couldn't be, anyone else but you

If I could take my pick of all the girls I've ever known
Then I'd come and pick you out to be my very own

There'll never be anyone else but you for me
Never ever be, just couldn't be, anyone else but you

A heart that's true and longs for you is all I have to give
All my love belongs to you as long as I may live

There'll never be anyone else but you for me
Never ever be, just couldn't be, anyone else but you

I never will forget the way you kiss me
And when we're not together, I wonder if you've missed me

'Cause I hope and pray the day will come when you belong to me
Then I'm gonna prove to you how true my love can be

There'll never be anyone else but you for me
Never ever be, just couldn't be, anyone else but you

Mm, mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm

Mm, mm, mm

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Montana Cowgirl

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Montana Cowgirl

(Ray Park)
For many long years I've played a lone hand
I rode my horse in many strange lands
Until one day I stopped for awhile
For two blue eyes and a sunny smile
So howl away you old coyote
I hear your sad and lonesome song
You're calling me back to old Montana
Back to those hills where I belong
One day I rode away from home
I'm a' traveling back and it won't be long
I'll see you again in a little while
You're my darling sweet, my welcome smile
So howl away you old coyote
I hear your sad and lonesome song
You're calling me back to old Montana
Back to those hills where I belong
So howl away you old coyote
I hear your sad and lonesome song
You're calling me back to old Montana
Back to those hills where I belong

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - How She Could Sing The Wildwood Flower

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - How She Could Sing The Wildwood Flower

[Chorus: ]
How she could sing the Wildwood Flower
The orphan girl he would love so long
In the end he knew she'd been his finest hour
And all he has left of her is a song

He first saw her
Standing by a cabin door
Her song was ringing
Out in a voice so strong and sure
To the lonesome valley
He bring her there to be his bride
Where they would live and work together
Side by side

She was his sunshine
She was his moon and morning star
His words would ring to
The chords of her guitar

He was driven
And lost to her for days and days
'Til the lonesome valley
Finally drove her far away

[Chorus: ]

We all cling to
As the years keep rolling on
One single promise
Of a love that's past and gone
And that lonesome valley
We all walk it by ourselves
With the wildwood flower
Is a story we will tell

[Chorus: ]

How she could sing the Wildwood Flower
And all we have left of her is a song

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - My Dear Companion

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - My Dear Companion

Written by Jean Ritchie
(C) 1976 Geordie Music Pub Co.
Oh have you seen my dear companion
For he was all this world to me
I hear he's gone to some far country
And that he cares no more for me
I wish I were a swallow flying
I'd fly to a high and lonesome place
I'd join the wild birds in their crying
Thinking of you and your sweet face
Oh have you seen my dear companion
For he was all this world to me
But now the stars have turned against me
And he cares no more for me
Oh when the dark is on the mountain
And all the world has gone to sleep
I will go down to the cold dark waters
And there I'll lay me down and weep
Oh have you seen my dear companion
Oh have you seen my dear companion
Oh have you seen my dear companion
For he was all this world to me

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Fair And Tender Ladies

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Fair And Tender Ladies

Come all you fair and tender ladies
Take warning how you court your men
There like a star on a summer morning
They first appear and then there gone

They'll tell to you some loving story
Then they make you think that they love you well
Then away they'll go to court some other
And leave you there in grief to dwell

(mandolin break)

I wish I was on some tall mountain
Where the ivy rocks are black as ink
I'd write a letter to my false true lover
Whose cheeks are like the morning dew

(dorbo and fiddle solo)

Oh love is handsome love is charming
And love is pretty while it's new
But love grows cold as love grows old
And fades away like morning dew

(repeat chours)

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Another Pot O' Tea

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Another Pot O' Tea

Put on another pot o' tea
'Cause I'm in love with the Irish accent to your story
And I need someone to help me

Well they say that now you don't talk straight
And that of late it's been my lot to be afraid
To remember you by anything
But memories I already keep

So put another pot o' tea
'Cause I'm love with the Irish accent to your story
And now I need some sympathy

It's harder when it takes so long to leave
The table where we all learned to laugh and learned to grieve
Over the pain that came so close to you
It comes so close to me today

So put another pot o' tea
'Cause I'm in love with the Irish accent to your story
And I need someone to help me

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Mansion On The Hill

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Mansion On The Hill

There's a place out on the edge of town sir
Risin' above the factories and fields
Now ever since I was a child I can remember
That mansion on the hill
In the day you can see the children playing
On a road that leads to those gates of hardened steel
Steel gates that completely surround sir
That mansion on the hill

At night my daddy's take me and we'd ride
Through the streets of a town so silent and still
Park on a back road along the highway signs sir
Look up at the mansion on the hill

In the summer all the lights would shine
There'd be music playin' people laughin' all the time
Me and my brother we'd lie down in the tall cornfields sir
Sit and listen to the mansion on the hill

Tonight down here in Linden Town
I watch the cars rushin' by home from the mill
There's a beautiful full moon rising
Above the mansion on the hill

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - I Still Miss Someone

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - I Still Miss Someone

At my door the leaves are falling
The cold wild wind will come
Sweethearts walk by together
And I still miss someone

I go out to wild the parties
And look for a little fun
But I find the darkened corner
'Cause I still miss someone

Though I never got over those blue eyes
I see them everywhere
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there
I wonder if she's sorry for
For leaving what we had begun
There's someone for me somewhere
And I still miss someone

Though I never got over those blue eyes
I see them everywhere
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there
I wonder if she's sorry for
For leaving what we had begun
There's someone for me somewhere
And I still miss someone

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Bluebird Wine

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Bluebird Wine

Baby brought me in out off the highway
Poured my right good liquor down the sink
Straightened out my crooked ways of thinking
And made it purely pleasure when I drank

And it's all right now
I've just hit my stride
Right off the bat
I'm drunk on Bluebird wine

Baby's up and running in the mornin'
Says she's got a million things to do yeah
While I'm gone just you go get your guitar
Write some pretty song about me and you

And it's all right now
I've just hit my stride
Right off the bat
I'm drunk on Bluebird wine

Baby says she'd really love a party
Get some friends together feelin' fine yeah
Any friend of mine is worth his habit
A belly full of baby's Bluebird wine

And it's all right now
I've just hit my stride
Right off the bat
I'm drunk on Bluebird wine

Yes it's all right now
I've just hit my stride
Right off the bat
I'm drunk on Bluebird, wine

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Every Time You Leave

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Every Time You Leave

Everytime you leave
You tear the soul from me
I die a little more each time part
I can't control my dreams
My heart can't seem to learn
To turn and lock its door when you return

I know that you'll come back again
As soon as you get blue
And I know what will happen then
One kiss and I'll give one to you

Everytime you leave
You tear the soul from me
But I want to live so I'll forgive
Everytime you leave

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Blue Train

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Blue Train

Watchin' the long places ridin' this run down track
And the lost places from a dream that never brings them back
And sad truth is nothing but a cold hard fact
I'm ridin' the blue train over the miles yet to cover a ghost in a hurry to
fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train

Countin' the burned bridges trailing this rusted wreck
As our back pages scatter in the dust we left
Like a pearl necklace falling from around my neck
I'm ridin' the blue train...
Away down the low road a ticket to an empty room a rendezvous unknown
[ guitar ]
I'm ridin' the blue train...
I'm ridin' the blue train...

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Cajun Born

Lyrics Emmylou Harris - Cajun Born

I was born on the bayou thirty miles of Lafayette's
My daddy was a Cajun man, Lord he thought us how to plow
I remember Mama's breakfast cush cush and a kaye
Being served on a banyee Lord, I wish I had some now
I'm a Cajun born, I'm a Cajun bred
And when I die I'm a Cajun dead
If I die in Alaska, if I die in Ohio
This soul will find its way back to the bayou
We went to church every Sunday we had a French speaking preacher man
Joked about the preacher man 'cause we thought he wore a dress, yes
After church we had a party we played the music on the phonograph
We had a man singing Jole Blon oh made a sinner out of me
I'm a Cajun born, I'm a Cajun bred
And when I die I'm a Cajun dead
If I die in Alaska, if I die in Ohio
This soul will find its way back to the bayou
When I'm ready to be married going to be this Cajun lady
Someone sort of like my Mama
'Cause I ain't know other kind, don't know other kind
Wherever fortune takes me, if it makes me or it breaks me
It's memories will forsake me, Louisiana on my mind
I'm a Cajun born, I'm a Cajun bred
And when I die I'm a Cajun dead
If I die in Alaska, if I die in Ohio
This soul will find its way back to the bayou
If I die in Alaska, if I die in Ohio
This soul will find it's way back to the bayou
