TABLE SHINDIG LYRICS
SATURDAY 6/13 7:00 PM
KEEP ON THE SUNNY SIDE
[Verse 1]
There's a dark and a troubled side of life
But there's a bright and a sunny side, too
Though you meet with the darkness and strife
The sunny side you also may view
[Chorus]
Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way
If we'll keep on the sunny side of life
[Verse 2]
Though the storm and its furies rage today
Crushing hope that we cherish so dear
The cloud and storm will, in time, pass away
And the sun again will shine bright and clear
[Chorus]
Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way
If we'll keep on the sunny side of life
[Verse 3]
Let us greet with the song of hope each day
Though the moment be cloudy or fair
And let us trust in our Savior always
He'll keep us, every one, in His care
[Chorus]
Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way
If we'll keep on the sunny side of life
Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way
If we'll keep on the sunny side of life
If we'll keep on the sunny side of life
RING OF FIRE
[Verse 1]
Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire
[Chorus]
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire,
the ring of fire
[Chorus]
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire,
the ring of fire
[Verse 2]
The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild
[Chorus]
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire,
[Outro]
And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire,
the ring of fire
The ring of fire, the ring of fire, the ring of fire
JOLENE
[Chorus]
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Ooh, I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
[Verse 1]
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your skin is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
[Verse 2]
And he talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene, Jolene
[Chorus]
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
[Verse 3]
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
And you could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
'Cause he's the only one for me, Jolene, Jolene
[Chorus]
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Ooh, I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene
LOVE IS A ROSE
Love is a rose, but you'd better not pick it
Only grows when it's on the vine
Handful of thorns and you know you've missed it
Lose your love when you say the word mine
I wanna see what's never been seen
I wanna live that age old dream
C'mon boy, let's go together
Let's take the best, right now
Take the best right now
Love is a rose, but you'd better not pick it
Only grows when it's on the vine
Handful of thorns and you know you've missed it
Lose your love when you say the word mine
I wanna go to an old hoe-down
Long ago in the western town
Pick me up cause my feet are draggin'
Gimme a lift and I'll paint your wagon
Love is a rose, but you'd better not pick it
Only grows when it's on the vine
Handful of thorns and you know you've missed it
Lose your love when you say the word mine
Love is a rose, but you'd better not pick it
Only grows when it's on the vine
Handful of thorns and you know you've missed it
Lose your love when you say the word mine
Mine
Love is a rose
Love is a rose
Love is a rose
Love is a rose
LEAVING ON A JET PLANE
[Verse 1]
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn
The taxi's waiting, he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry
[Chorus]
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
[Verse 2]
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring
[Chorus]
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
[Verse 3]
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, just let me kiss you
Then close your eyes and I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times I won't have to say
[Chorus]
Kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
[Outro]
I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
A HORSE WITH NO NAME
[Verse 1]
On the first part of the journey
I was lookin' at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound
[Chorus]
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert, you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la
La, la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la
[Verse 2]
After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was lookin' at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead
[Chorus]
You see, I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert, you can remember your name
Because there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la, la la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la
La, la, la la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
After nine days, I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love
[Chorus]
You see, I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert, you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la, la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la
La, la, la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la
[Outro]
La, la, la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la
La, la, la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la
La, la la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la
La, la, la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la
La, la, la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la
La, la la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la
I'M MOVIN' ON

Yeah, that big eight wheeler movin' down the track
Means your true lovin' momma ain't coming back
She's movin' on
She'll soon be gone
Yeah I'm flyin' too high for my little old sky
I'm movin' on
[Verse 2]
Yeah that big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the southland, we're coming to you

You had the laugh on me, so I set you free
I'm movin' on, yeah

You can to ease my mind and put me there on time

[Piano Solo]
[Verse 5]
Yeah, I've told you baby from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
I'm movin' on
Keep rollin' along
You've broken your vow and it's all over now
I'm moving on
[Verse 6]
Yeah, you've switched your engine, now I ain't got time
For a trifling man on my main line

Keep rollin' along
Yeah, I warned you twice, you can settle the price
And move it on

THE MEDLEY
What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
was blind but now I see
Oh precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Will the circle be unbroken
by and by Lord, by and by
there's a better home a waiting
in the sky Lord, in the sky
Oh precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
I'll fly away oh glory
I'll fly away
when I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
