Two little children a boy and a girl
Sat by and old church door The little girls feet were as brown as the curl That fell on the dress that she wore The little boys clothes were all tattered and torn They shone beneath his blue eyes Why don't you go home to your mommy I said And this was the maidens reply Mommy's is heaven angels took her away Left Jim and I all alone We've no one to love us daddy is dead And our darling mother is gone Mommy got sick angels took her away To dwell in those matins so bright She said she would come for her children someday And I guess she's coming tonight The sexton came early to ring the church bell And found them beneath the snow white The angels made room for the orphans to dwell Up in heaven with their mommy that night |

Oh dear I'm so tired and so lonesome
I wonder why mommy don't come She told me to shut up my blue eyes And before I woke up she'd be home She said she was going to see Grandma Who lives by the river so wide And I guess my mommy fell in there And perhaps she won't be home tonight So I guess I'll go down and meet daddy Perhaps he has stopped at the store It's a great big store full of bottles And I wish he wouldn't go there anymore So out in the night with the baby Her little heart beating with pride 'Til her tired feet entered the gin palace With music all radiant with light Oh daddy she cried as she reached him I think that the music's so sweet But it's almost suppertime daddy Little blossom wants something to eat A moment his blurred eyes gazed wildly Down into her face sweet and fair And as the demon possessed him He grasped at the back of a chair A moment a second was over He lifted her fair golden head A moment the baby's life trembled Then poor little blossom was dead |

Puppy love, puppy love
They all call it puppy love I'm old enough now to kiss and hug And I like it, it's puppy love Pullin' my pig tails makes me mad When you kiss me, makes me glad You turn to leave and make me sad Still you're the sweetest sweetheart I've ever had Puppy love, puppy love They all call it puppy love I'm old enough now to kiss and hug And I like it, it's puppy love Puppy love, puppy love They all call it puppy love I'm old enough now to kiss and hug And I like it, it's puppy love Sometimes you won't even carry my books The next time you'll see me you'll rag on my looks You're meaner to me than a mean ole crook And I must confess I'm really hooked Puppy love, puppy love They all call it puppy love I'm old enough now to kiss and hug And I like it, it's puppy love |

It's been a long dark night
And I've been a waitin' for the morning It's been a long hard fight But I see a brand new day a dawning I've been looking for the sunshine 'Cause I ain't seen it in so long But everything's gonna work out just fine Everything's gonna be all right That's been all wrong 'Cause I can see the light of a clear blue morning I can see the light of a brand new day I can see the light of a clear blue morning And everything's gonna be all right It's gonna be okay It's been a long long time Since I've known the taste of freedom And those clinging vines That had me bound, well I don't need 'em 'Cause I am strong and I can prove it And I got my dreams to see me through It's just a mountain, I can move it And with faith enough there's nothing I can't do And I can see the light of a clear blue morning And I can see the light of brand new day I can see the light of a clear blue morning And everything's gonna be all right It's gonna be okay I can see the light of a clear blue morning I can see the light of a brand new day Yes I can see the light of a clear blue morning And everything's gonna be all right Everything's gonna be all right Everything's gonna be all right It's gonna be okay 'Cause I can see the light of a clear blue morning I can see the light of a clear blue morning Yes I can see the light of a clear blue morning Everything's gonna be all right It's gonna be okay I can see the light I can see the light It's gonna be all right It's gonna be all right |

Late one cold and stormy night I heard a dog-a-barkin'.
Then I thought I heard somebody at my door a knockin'. I wondered who could be outside in such an awful storm. Then I saw a little girl with a puppy in her arms. Before I could say a word she said, "My name is Sandy. And this here is my puppy dog, it's name is little Andy." Standing in the bitter cold in just a ragged dress. Then I asked her to come in and this is what she said. "Ain't ya got no gingerbread? Ain't ya got no candy? Ain't ya got an extra bed for me and little Andy? Patty cake, a baker's man, my mommy ran away again. We was all alone and didn't know what else to do, I wondered if you'd let us stay with you. Giddyup Charlie horse, going to the mill. Can we stay all night? If you don't love us, no one will, I promise we won't cry! London Bridge is falling down, my daddy's drunk again in town. We was all alone and didn't know what we could do. We wondered if you'd let us stay with you." She was just a little girl, not more than six or seven. That night as they slept the angels took them both to heaven. God knew little Andy would be lonesome with her gone. Now Sandy and her puppy dog won't ever be alone. "Ain't ya got no gingerbread? Ain't ya got no candy? Ain't ya got an extra bed for me and little Andy." |

Sometimes I go walkin' through the fields
Where we walked long ago in the sweet used-to-be and the flowers still grow but they don't smell as sweet as they did when you picked them for me and when I think of you and the love we once knew how I wish we could go back in time do you ever think back on old mem'ries like that or do I cross your mind Do you ever wake up lonely In the middle of the night Because you miss me, do you darlin' Oh and do your mem'ries ever take you back Into another place in time And do you ever miss the feelings and the love we shared when you were with me, do you darlin' I just wonder do I cross your mind Oh how often I wish that again I could kiss Your sweet lips like I did long ago How often I long for those two lovin' arms That once held me so gentle and close And when I think of you and the love we once knew How I wish we could go back in time Do you ever recall these old mem'ries at all Or do I ever cross your mind Do you ever wake up lonely In the middle of the night Because you miss me, do you darlin' Oh and do your mem'ries ever take you back Into another place in time And do you ever miss the feelings and the love we shared when you were with me, do you darlin' I just wonder do I cross your mind Oh, do I ever cross your mind |

I don't want your lonely mansion
With a tear in every room All I want is the love you promised Bring me the halo moon But you think I should be happy With your money and your name And hide myself in sorrow While you play your cheating game Chorus: Silver threads and golden needles Cannot mend this heart of mine And I dare not drown my sorrow In the warm glow of your wine You can't buy my love with money For I never was that kind Silver threads and golden needles Cannot mend this heart of mine Repeat Chorus Silver threads and golden needles Cannot mend this heart of mine |

As I sit here tonight the jukebox's playing
The tune about the wild side of life As I listen to the words you are saying It brings mem'ries when I was trusting wife It was't God who made honky tonk angels As you wrote in the words of your song Too many times married men think they're still single That has caused many a good girl to go wrong It's a shame that all the blame is on us women It's not true that only you men feel the same From the start most every heart that's ever broken Was because there always was a man to blame It was't God who made honky tonk angels... That has caused many a good girl to go wrong |
