Bound for the promised land. Hank
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land
Where my possessions lie
I am bound for the promised land
I am bound for the promised land
Oh, who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land
O'er all those wide extended plains
Shine on eternal day
There God the Son forever reigns
And scatters night away
I am bound for the promised land
I am bound for the promised land
Oh, who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land
No chilling winds nor poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death
Are felt and feared no more
I am bound for the promised land
I am bound for the promised land
Oh, who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land
When shall I reach that happy place
And be forever blessed?
When shall I see my Father's face
And in His bosom rest?
I am bound for the promised land
I am bound for the promised land
Oh, who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land

Turned my mama on. Tanya
That turned my mama on
He must have been a heck of a man
'Cause mama was a lady don't you know
Mama was no prude but she was proper
Never wore her dress too short
She didn't care if you did
But she'd have never taken a drink
Grandma Kate did the best she could
To see mama grew up right
So she'd be fittin' one day for courtin'
And to wear some gentleman's ring
I wish I'd known the man a little better
That turned my mama on
He was always laughing
And singing the right sweet song
I wish I'd known the man a little better
The turned my mama on
He must have been a heck of a man
'Cause mama was a lady don't you know
I hear he came to town one day
In a rusty old '49 Ford
Selling lady's shoes and assorted greeting cards
He was killing good looking
And easy to like
And turning all the ladies' heads
But he saw mama first
And Lord knows how some of them travelin men are
I wish I'd known the man a little better
That turned my mama on
He was always laughing
And singing the right sweet song
I wish I'd known the man a little better
The turned my mama on
He must have been a heck of a man
'Cause mama was a lady don't you know
Mama seemed to forget the things
That Grandma Kate had always told her
She ran away one night with a traveling man
They bought gas at Rita's truck stop
And drove to Dasota County
But he brought her home with a ring upon her hand
Mama's told me how the fever took him
When I was barely 5
But I remember him pitchin' me up
And catchin' me
And I love to sit and listen to her
Tell me about my daddy
She says he thought the sun would surely
Rise and set in me
I wish I'd known the man a little better
That turned my mama on
He must have been a heck of a man
'cause mama was a lady don't you know
I wish I'd known the man a little better
The turned my mama on
He must have been a heck of a man
'Cause mama was a lady don't you know

A little help
What would you think if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key
… Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
… What do I do when my love is away?
Does it worry you to be alone?
How do I feel by the end of the day?
Are you sad because you're on your own?
Does it worry you to be alone?
How do I feel by the end of the day?
Are you sad because you're on your own?
… No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
Mm, get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
… Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love
… Would you believe in a love at first sight?
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine

Oh, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends

Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love

Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Tulsa Time. The Petersens
I left Oklahoma, drivin' in a Pontiac
Just about to lose my mind
I was goin' to Arizona
Maybe on to California
Where the people all live so fine
I was goin' to Arizona
Maybe on to California
Where the people all live so fine
My baby thought I'ze crazy
My mama called me lazy
I was gonna show 'em all this time
'Cause you know I ain't no fool
My mama called me lazy
I was gonna show 'em all this time
'Cause you know I ain't no fool
No I don't need no more school
I was born to just walk the line
Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Well, you know I've been through it
Gonna set my watch back to it
Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Well, you know I've been through it
Gonna set my watch back to it
Livin' on Tulsa time
Dobro bridge
There I was in Hollywood
Wishin' I was doin' good
Talkin' on the telephone line
They don't need me in the movies
Ain't nobody sings my songs
Guess I'm just wastin' time
Wishin' I was doin' good
Talkin' on the telephone line
They don't need me in the movies
Ain't nobody sings my songs
Guess I'm just wastin' time
Then I got to thinkin'
Man, I'm really sinkin'
Really had a flash this time
I had no business leavin'
And nobody would be grievin'
If I went on back to Tulsa time
Man, I'm really sinkin'
Really had a flash this time
I had no business leavin'
And nobody would be grievin'
If I went on back to Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know I've been through it
Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know I've been through it
Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
Gonna set my watch back to it
Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
Gonna set my watch back to it
Livin' on Tulsa time
Instrumental outro/breakdown:
Fiddle, banjo, dobro
Vocal outro
Livin' on Tulsa time
You know I've been through it
Gonna set my watch back to it
Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time

That Georgia Sun. Tanya
That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
Daddy said, "Now come girl
We're headed down the road to Augusta"
And frankly through his clenched teeth
He called Mama's name and then he cussed her
We're headed down the road to Augusta"
And frankly through his clenched teeth
He called Mama's name and then he cussed her
He said, "Girl, you're young
But some dude has come along and stole your mother"
But you can't steal a willin' mind
'Cause mama's always lookin' for a lover
But some dude has come along and stole your mother"
But you can't steal a willin' mind
'Cause mama's always lookin' for a lover
That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down
With dusty tear drops on his face
My daddy cried an' big steps he was takin'
Halfway runnin' to keep up
My shorter legs were so tired and shakin'
My daddy cried an' big steps he was takin'
Halfway runnin' to keep up
My shorter legs were so tired and shakin'
"Where did I go wrong, girl?
Why would she leave us both this way?"
At times like these, a child of ten
Never knows exactly what to say
Why would she leave us both this way?"
At times like these, a child of ten
Never knows exactly what to say
That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down
We searched in every bar-room
And honky-tonk as well
And finally daddy found them
And Lord, you know, the rest is hard to tell
And honky-tonk as well
And finally daddy found them
And Lord, you know, the rest is hard to tell
He sent me out to wait
But scared, I looked back through the door
And daddy left them both
Soakin' up the sawdust on the floor
But scared, I looked back through the door
And daddy left them both
Soakin' up the sawdust on the floor
That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down
