Sittin' on the front porch on a summer afternoon In a straightback chair on two legs, leans against the wall Watch the kids a' playin' with june bugs on a string And chase the glowin' fireflies when evenin' shadows fall: In my tennessee mountain home Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh In my tennessee mountain home Crickets sing in the fields near by Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads it's wings An' a songbird on a fence post sings a melody Walkin' home from church on a sunday with the one ya' love Just laughin', talkin', making future plans And when the folks ain't lookin', you might steal a kiss or two Sittin' in the porch swing, holdin' hands |

Back Through the Years I Go Wonderin' Once Again Back to the Seasons of My Youth I Recall a Box of Rags That Someone Gave Us And How My Momma Put the Rags to Use There Were Rags of Many Colors Every Piece Was Small And I Didn't Have a Coat And It Was Way Down in the Fall Momma Sewed the Rags Together Sewin' Every Piece With Love She Made My Coat of Many Colors That I Was So Proud Of As She Sewed, She Told a Story From the Bible, She Had Read About a Coat of Many Colors Joseph Wore and Then She Said Perhaps This Coat Will Bring You Good Luck and Happiness And I Just Couldn't Wait to Wear It And Momma Blessed It With a Kiss My Coat of Many Colors That My Momma Made For Me Made Only From Rags But I Wore It So Proudly Although We Had no Money I Was Rich As I Could Be In My Coat of Many Colors My Momma Made For Me So With Patches On My Britches Holes in Both My Shoes In My Coat of Many Colors I Hurried Off to School Just to Find the Others Laughing And Making Fun of Me In My Coat of Many Colors My Momma Made For Me And Oh I Couldn't Understand It For I Felt I Was Rich And I Told Them of the Love My Momma Sewed in Every Stitch And I Told 'em All the Story Momma Told Me While She Sewed And How My Coat of Many Colors Was Worth More Than All Their Clothes But They Didn't Understand It And I Tried to Make Them See That One Is Only Poor Only If They Choose to Be Now I Know We Had no Money But I Was Rich As I Could Be In My Coat of Many Colors My Momma Made For Me Made Just For Me |

Momma never seemed to miss the finer things in life If she did, she never did say so to daddy She never wanted to be more than mother and a wife If she did, she never did say so to daddy The only things that seemed to be important in her life Was to make our house a home and make us happy Momma never wanted anymore than what she had If she did, she never did say so to daddy He often left her all alone She didn't mind the stayin' home If she did, she never did say so to daddy And she never missed the flowers And the gifts he never gave her If she did, she never did say so to daddy Being took for granted was a thing that she accepted And she didn't need those things to make her happy She didn't even seem to notice That he didn't kiss and hold her If she did, she never did say so to daddy: One morning we awoke Just to find the note That momma carefully wrote And left to daddy And as he began to read it Our ears could not believe it The words that she had written there to daddy She said our kids are old enough And they don't need me very much So i've gone in search for love i need so badly I have needed you so long But i just can't keep holdin' on She never meant to come back home If she did, she never did say so to daddy Tag: Momma's gone Good-bye to daddy |

Well, I met an old man walkin' down the street His clothes were torn and tattered With sandals on his feet And I stopped to help him And lend him a hand He said, I love you so much But you must understand Silver and gold might buy you a home But things of this world They won't last you long And time has a way of turning us old And time can't be bought back with silver and gold And he said to me, let's rest for awhile For I have some good news to share with you, child He said, you can't change this old world The people need to know That a dear savior died here A long, long time ago Silver and gold might buy you a home But things of this world They won't last you long And time has a way of turning us old And time can't be bought back with silver and gold His eyes shown like diamonds And his smile was heaven sent His hair was long and flowing And his back was slightly bent And I knew he knew it For that day I changed As I watched him walk on I forgot to get his name He said, silver and gold can't buy you a home When this life has ended And your time is gone But you can live in a world where You'll never grow old And things can't be bought there with silver and gold And time can't be bought back with silver and gold |

The gates and doors were barred And all the windows fastened down I spent the night in sleeplessness And rose at every sound Half in hope of sorrow And half in fear the day Would find the soldiers breakin' through To drag us all away And just before the sunrise I heard something at the wall The gate began to rattle And a voice began to call I hurried to the window Looked down into the street Expecting swords and torches And the sound of soldiers' feet But there was no one there but mary So i went down to let her in John stood there beside me As she told me where she'd been She said they've moved him in the night And none of us know where The stone's been rolled away And now his body isn't there We both ran towards the garden Then john ran on ahead We found the stone and empty tomb Just the way that mary said But the winding sheet they wrapped him in Was just an empty shell And how or where they'd taken him Was more than i could tell Oh something strange had happened there Just what i did not know John believed a miracle But i just turned to go Circumstance and speculation Couldn't lift me very high 'cause i'd seen them crucify him Then i saw him die Back inside the house again The guilt and anguish came Everything i'd promised him Just added to my shame When at last it came to choices I denied i knew his name And even if he was alive It wouldn't be the same But suddenly the air was filled With a strange and sweet perfume Light that came from everywhere Drove shadows from the room And jesus stood before me With his arms held open wide And i fell down on my knees And i just clung to him and cried Then he raised me to my feet And as i looked into his eyes The love was shining out from him Like sunlight from the skies Guilt in my confusion Disappeared in sweet release And every fear i ever had Just melted into peace He's alive yes he's alive Yes he's alive and i'm forgiven Heaven's gates are open wide He's alive yes he's alive Oh he's alive and i'm forgiven Heaven's gates are open wide He's alive he's alive Hallelujah he's alive He's alive and i'm forgiven Heaven's gates are open wide He's alive he's alive he's alive I believe it he's alive Sweet jesus |
