Lyrics Hank Snow - I've Got To Give It All To You

Part of my love used to go to somebody else can't think of who disclosed to
you
Some of my love used to stay head a way for myself
Alone with you here's what I must do
I've got to give you love with all of my heart and my soul
I've got to feed you baby all of the love you've been hold
I left the door open and you know just what to do
I'll wait for you baby I've got to give it all to you

I've got to give you love with all of my heart and my soul
I've got to feed you baby all of the love you've been hold
He left the door open and I know just what to do
I'll wait for you baby I've got to give it all to you

Lyrics Hank Snow - Miller's Cave

Lyrics Hank Snow - Miller's Cave

Way down in the state of Georgia
Through the swamps and everglades
There's a hole in Tiger Mountain
God help the man who gets lost in Miller's Cave.

I had a girl (had a girl)
In Waycross, Georgia (Waycross, Georgia) but she had unfaithful ways
Made me feel (made me feel) I was unwanted (so unwanted)
Like the bats and the bears in Miller's Cave.

I couldn't stand the way she did me
Couldn't take her low down ways
Before I'd stay with a cheatin' woman
I'll go live the bears in Miller's Cave.

I caught her out (caught her out) one Sunday morning (Sunday morning)
With a man they call Big Dave
Meanest man (meanest man) in Waycross, Georgia (Waycross, Georgia)
I'd rather fight a Mountain Lion in Miller's Cave.

I said you'll pay, both you and Davey
I must see you in your grave
They laughed at me and then I shot 'em
I took their cheatin', schemin' bones to Miller's Cave.

That woman made (woman made) me feel unwanted (so unwanted)
But I showed 'em I was brave
Most wanted man in the state of Georgia
But they'll never find me 'cause I'm lost in Miller's Cave.

Dark cold, cave, Miller's Cave.

Lyrics Hank Snow - City Of New Orleans

Lyrics Hank Snow - City Of New Orleans

Ridin' on the City of New Orleans Illinois Central Monday morning rail
15 cars and 15 restless riders 3 conductors and 24 sacks of mail
All along the southbound odyssey the train rolls out of Kankakee
And moves along past houses farms and fields

Passin' trains that have no name and switchyards full of old black men
Of graveyards full of rusted automobiles
Good mornin' America how are you say don't ya know me I'm your native son
I'm a train they call the City of New Orleans

I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done
Dealin' cards with an old man on the club car many a point nobody's keepin'
score
Hey now pass that paper bag that holds the bottle
And feel the wheels a rumblin' neath the floor

And the sons of poor men porters and the sons of engineers
Ride their daddy's magic carpet made of steel
Mothers with their babies asleep rockin' to that gentle beat
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel

Night time on the City of New Orleans changin' cars in Memphis Tennessee
Half way home and we'll be there by mornin'
Through the Mississippi darkness rollin' down to the sea
And all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream

And the steel rails still ain't heard the news
The conductor sings his song again the passengers will please refrain
This train's got the disappearin' railroad blues

Lyrics Hank Snow - I'll Not Forget My Mother's Prayer

Lyrics Hank Snow - I'll Not Forget My Mother's Prayer

I never shall forget the day
I heard my dear old mother say
"I'm leaving now the old home dear,
remember Jack your mother's prayer".
She left me as the golden sun
behind the hill top it did hide,
And when I found that she had gone
I laid my guitar down and cried.

CHORUS
And now she's gone this world is drear,
I long to have dear mother here,
She's gone to join the angels there,
I'll not forget my mother's prayer.

The birds were still, no sound was made,
The organ sad but sweetly played,
As by her side we gathered there,
Our heads bowed down in silent prayer.
We laid here where the fragrant rose
was blooming o'er her lonely grave,
And now in answer to her prayer
I'll meet dear mother some sweet day.

CHORUS
And now she's gone this world is drear,
I long to have dear mother here,
She's gone to join the angels there,
I'll not forget my mother's prayer

Lyrics Hank Snow - In The Misty Moonlight

Lyrics Hank Snow - In The Misty Moonlight

In the misty moonlight by the flickering firelight
Any place is all right long as I'm with you
In a faraway land on the trophic sea sand
If your hand's in my hand I won't be blue
Way up on the mountain a way down in the valley
I know I'll be happy anyplace anywhere I don't care
In the misty moonlight by the flickering firelight
Any place is all right long as you are there
I could be happy in one little room with only a table and a chair
As happy as I'd be in a kingdom by the sea darling if you were there
I could be rich or I could be poor in fact if you were by my side
I could be anything in the whole wide world and I know I'll be satisfied
Way up on the mountain...

Lyrics Hank Snow - Just Bidin' My Time

Lyrics Hank Snow - Just Bidin' My Time

I can't believe that you're honestly thinking of leaving me
Cause I thought that leaving really wasn't even on your mind
I'm drowning in tears drowning constantly nearer to misery
Just bidin' my time while the glow from the wine makes a fool of me
Over and over I practice every day
What to say when I see you but when I see you my tears get in the way
Just bidin' my time while the glow from the wine makes a fool of me
I spend my nights making up things I might have to say to you
To stop you from going yet keep you from knowing how I feel
But till the light says goodbye to the night and your face I see
I'll just bidin' my time while the glow from the wine makes a fool of me
[ guitar ]
Over and over...

Lyrics Hank Snow - Million And One

Lyrics Hank Snow - Million And One

How many teardrops have I cried over you
A million and one tears a million and two
How many nighttimes have my arms reached for you
A million and one times a million and two
I loved you my darling and I thought
You loved me only me
But you were just foolin' and the fool
You were foolin' was me
How many sweet dreams will never come true
A million and one dreams a million and two

I loved you my darling...

Lyrics Hank Snow - Just Waiting For You

Lyrics Hank Snow - Just Waiting For You

I am pleading tonight in this letter I write
'Cause it seems as tho' I'm talking to you,
All the tear-stains you see take as kisses from me,
'Cause I'm lonesome here waiting for you.

Does your heart still feel light do you still think your right
That you left me for one you thought true
After years we have known leaving me here alone
So lonesome just waiting for you.

I treasure each thought every memory old pal
That we spent in the days we once knew
And it hurt so inside many times I have cried.
So heartbroken just waiting waiting for you.

But perhaps dear someday when the clouds drift away
And the sunshine again fills the blue
You'll mend the break in my heart once again we will start
From where I've waited so worried and blue.

Lyrics Hank Snow - Among My Souvenirs

Lyrics Hank Snow - Among My Souvenirs

There's nothing left for me of days that used to be
There's just a memory among my souvenirs

Some letters tied in blue, a photograph or two
I see a rose from you among my souvenirs

A few more tokens rest within my treasure chest
And though they do their best to give me consolation

I count them all apart and as the teardrops start
I find a broken heart among my souvenirs

I count them all apart and as the teardrops start
I find a broken heart among my souvenirs

Lyrics Hank Snow - Keep Your Promise, Willie Thomas

Lyrics Hank Snow - Keep Your Promise, Willie Thomas

Keep your promise, Willie Thomas
We pledged our love one day beneath the whispering maple tree
You made a promise, Willie Thomas
That all the leaves would still be green when you returned to me

But my heart is chilled and my eyes are filled
As I watch the leaves of red and brown fall sadly to the ground
You must keep your promise, Willie Thomas
There'll be on spring until you bring your love again to me

I shall keep my promise, Willie Thomas
I pledged my love to you beneath the whispering maple tree
So, I'll keep my promise, Willie Thomas
Though all the leaves might not be green when I return to thee

Let your heart not be chilled nor your eyes be filled
'Cause I love you though you say the leaves are falling slowly down
So, I'll keep my promise, Willie Thomas
And there'll be spring because with the birds I'll sing
My love again to you

Keep your promise, Willie Thomas

Lyrics Hank Snow - Mary Ann Regrets

Lyrics Hank Snow - Mary Ann Regrets

I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers
For Saturday's date and I restlessly counted the hours
Then today in the mail I received a short little note
And I broke down inside at the message that her mother's wrote
Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again
We're leaving for Europe next week she'll be busy till then
They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plans
Goodbye true love goodbye my sweet Mary Ann
The weeks have gone by not a word have I heard since then
In the papers I read of the far away places she's been
I can't eat I can't sleep for over and over again
My mind reads that letter and I cry for my Mary Ann
My Mary Ann died they said she just wasted away
If I could have seen her I know she'd be living today
For we loved each other and if they had left us alone
Today she'd be wearing my ring not a blanket of stone
Mary Ann regrets...

Lyrics Hank Snow - Farther Along

Lyrics Hank Snow - Farther Along

Tempted and tried
We're oft made to wonder
Why could it be thus
All the day long
When there are others
Living about us
Never molested
Though in the wrong
Farther along
We'll know all about it
Farther along
We'll understand why
Cheer up my brother
Live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all
By and by

When death has come
And taken our loved ones
It's leaving our home
So lonely and drear
Then do we wonder
Why others prosper
Living so wicked
Year after year
Farther along
We'll know all about it

Lyrics Hank Snow - I Knew That We'd Meet Again

Lyrics Hank Snow - I Knew That We'd Meet Again

Though we said goodbye and we drifted far apart
I knew that we'd meet again
Though you left my arms you never left my heart
I knew that we'd meet again

The lover's lane was not the same with someone new
How could lover's lane be same without you
Here we are together prayers were not in vain
I knew that we'd meet again

One word was spoken and now our two hearts they were broken
Our love had all gone astray
That old pride do a courtin' but honey you know I was certain
That we'd meet again some sunny day

True love may sever though it will ever live on in memory
And though honey we were parted and so broken hearted
I knew someday you'd come back to me
The lover's lane was not the same....

Lyrics Hank Snow - Just Keep A Movin'

Lyrics Hank Snow - Just Keep A Movin'

Just keep a movin' wherever you were movin'
They told me you were movin' on
Just keep a goin' wherever you were goin'
The day you left me here all alone
You were in such a hurry such a tizzy such a flurry
To leave me for the new love you found

So just keep scratchin' gravel hit the road and start to travel
I don't want to do time I'm not hangin' round
Oh just keep a goin' wherever you were goin'
The day ya broke my heart and said so long
Just keep a movin' wherever you were movin'
The day you told me you were movin' on

Just keep a movin' wherever you were movin'
The day you moved right out of my door
Just keep a love for you and keep him under cover
Your secret love's no secret anymore

When you gave me the go sign I didn't even know why
You were actin' mighty high and mighty then
Now your new love's grown colder than a well digger's shoulder
And you wanted me to take you back again

Oh just keep a goin' wherever you were goin'
The day ya broke my heart and said so long
Just keep a movin' wherever you were movin'
The day you told me you were movin' on

Lyrics Hank Snow - Chattanooga Choo Choo

Lyrics Hank Snow - Chattanooga Choo Choo

Pardon me boy is this the Chattanooga Choo Choo
Track twenty nine boy you can give me a shine
I can't afford to board the Chattanooga Choo Choo
I've got my fare and just a trifle to spare
(You leave the Pennsylvania Station 'bout a quarter to four
Read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore
Dinner in the diner nothin' could be finer than to have your ham and eggs in
Carolina)
When you hear the whistle blowin' eight to the bar
Then you know that Tennessee is not very far
Shovel all the coal in gotta keep a rollin' ooh ohh Chattanooga there you are
There's gonna be a certain party in the station
Satin and lace I used to call funny face
She's gonna cry until I tell her that I'll never roam
So Chattanooga Choo Choo won't you choo choo me home
(Chattanooga Choo Choo won't you choo choo me home)

Lyrics Hank Snow - From A Jack To A King

Lyrics Hank Snow - From A Jack To A King

From a jack to a king
From loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an Ace
And I won a Queen
And walked away with your heart

From a jack to a king
With no regrets
I stacked the cards last night
And Lady Luck
Played her hand just right
To make me king of your heart

For just a little while I thought
That I might lose the game
Then just in time I saw
The twinkle in your eye

From a jack to a king
From loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an Ace
And I won a Queen
You made me king of your heart
For just a little while

Lyrics Hank Snow - Big Wheels

Lyrics Hank Snow - Big Wheels

Oh them big wheels are turning goin' somewhere
And they're carryin' her away from my side yes I cried thought I'd die
Love was just a game to me I thought I'd never cry
I thought she'd be the loser but standin' here am I
And that long train is rolling goin' somewhere
And it's carryin' her away from my side yes I cried thought I'd die
A broken heart is somethin' that I have never had
But I learned the hard way didn't know it hurt so bad
And them big wheels are turnin' goin' somewhere
And it's carryin' her away from my side (yes he cried thought he'd die)
This burnin' love unwanted this love that never dies
Keeps right on a hurting no matter how I try
And that old rattler rolling goin' somewhere
And it's carryin' her away from my side yes I cried thought I'd die
Many years I've fooled around and many years I've lied
I'd always be a leaving with that suitcase by my side
But that big engine's rolling goin' somewhere
And it's carryin' her away from my side yes I cried thought I'd die
Yes I cried thought I'd die

Lyrics Hank Snow - Casey Jones Was His Name

Lyrics Hank Snow - Casey Jones Was His Name

A long time ago
In a town in Tennessee
There lived a man
And he was brave as he could be
By the sweat of his brow
He earned fortune and fame
Casey Jones was his name

From Memphis, Tennessee
On that Cannonball Express
By the whining of the whistle
You could tell him from the rest
Past the old plantations
With their cotton and cane
Casey Jones was his name

Clickety-clack, clickety-clack
Over the rails he'd go
Clickety-clack, clickety-clack
Bravin' rain and snow
Ev'ryone knew three-eighty-two was his train
Casey Jones was his name

Runnin' late through Sardis
Past Winona on the fly
Like lightnin' chasin' thunder
through the stairways of the sky
When we heard his engine moanin'
And the story is claimed
Casey Jones was his name

Then on that fatal night
He made his final run
Near Vaughan, Mississippi
He knew his time had come
Too late he saw ahead
There's thatta old freight train
Now the legend, Casey Jones was his name

Clickety-clack, clickety-clack
Over the rails he'd go
Clickety-clack, clickety-clack
Bravin' rain and snow
Ev'ryone knew three-eighty-two was his train
Casey Jones was his name

Lyrics Hank Snow - Journey My Baby Back Home

Lyrics Hank Snow - Journey My Baby Back Home

Pale moon start on your journey I'm pleading to you.
Somewhere you'll find a broken heart yearning too.

Bright stars were shining but clouds drifted by
Just to darken a true love affair,
And I know I'm to blame for the showers that fell,
They meant more than my old pal could bear.
I can't see what happened why I went astray
But I promise I'll never more roam.

So pale moon I've made you promise,
so Journey My Baby Back Home.

Pale moon start on your journey I'm pleading to you.
Somewhere you'll find a broken heart yearning too.

They say that a new day is born when the sun
Climbs the stairs to the heaven so blue.
But to me only one day is born ev'ry year
Since I've cheated and been so un true.
I'm weary, I'm heart-sick, I've worried I've cried,
Down your long silver trail starts to roam.

So pale moon I've made you promise,
so Journey My Baby Back Home.

Lyrics Hank Snow - Little Joe

Lyrics Hank Snow - Little Joe

What will the birds do, mother, in the spring
When they stop to gather crumbs around the door
Will they fly from the trees half as nice with glee
Askin' why Joe wanders out no more

What will the kitten do, mother, all alone
Will he stop from his frolic for the day
Will he lie on his rug by the side of my bed
As he did before I went away

What will Thomas, that old gardener, say
When you ask him for flowers for me
Will he give you a rose he has tended with care
The first, fairest bloom of the tree

I have seen the tears in his honest, old eyes
But he said it was the wind that brought them there
As he gazed on my cheeks growing paler each day
And his hand went trembling through my hair

Keep tied, mother, my poor little dog
For I know he will mourn for me too
Just keep him when old and useless he grows
Sleepin' the whole summer through

Show him my coat, mother, so he'll not forget
His master who then will be dead
Just speak to him kindly and often of Joe
And pat him on his brown, shaggy head

And you, dearest mother, may miss me for a while
But in Heaven I'll no larger grow
And any kind angel will know at the gate
When you ask for your darlin' little Joe
