How came the blood on your shirt sleeve Oh dear love, tell me, Oh dear love, tell me It is the blood of that old greyhound That traced the fox for me, for me That traced the fox for me It is too red for that old greyhound Oh dear love, tell me, Oh dear love, tell me It is the blood of that old grey mare That plowed the field for me, for me That plowed the field for me It is too red for that old grey mare Oh dear love, tell me, Oh dear love, tell me It is the blood of my brother-in-law That went away from me, from me That went away from me And what will you do now my love Oh dear love, tell me, Oh dear love, tell me I'll set my foot on yonder ship And sail across the sea, the sea And sail across the sea And when will you come back again Oh dear love, tell me, Oh dear love, tell me When the sun sets on yonder tree And that will never be, never be And that will never be

Lone Prairie 01:19
Bury me not on the lone prairie The voice came low, and mournfully From the pale lips of the youth who lay On his dying bed at the close of day Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie where the wild cyotes'll howl over me In a narrow grave, six by three Bury me not on the lone prairie It matters not, I've been told Where the body lays when the heart is cold But grant, oh grant, this wish for me Bury me not on the lone prairie I've always wanted, when I died To be laid on the green hillside Oh my father, promise me Bury me not on the lone prairie Bury me not on the lone prairie Bury me not on the lone prairie Oh my father, promise me Bury me not on the lone prairie

Angel Band 02:44
My latest sun is sinking fast, my race is nearly run My greatest trials they all are past, my triumph has begun O come Angel Band, come and around me stand Bear me away on your snow white wings, to my eternal home Bear me away on your snow white wings, to my eternal home And bear my eager heart to him, who gave his life for me Whose blood now cleanses all my sins, and brings me victory O come, Angel Band, come and around me stand Bear me away on your snow white wings, to my eternal home Bear me away on your snow white wings, to my eternal home

There's a dark and a troubled side of life There's a bright and a sunny side too Though we meet with the darkness and strife The sunny side we also may view Keep on the sunny side Always on the sunny side Keep on the sunny side of life It will help us everyday It'll brighten all our ways If we keep on the sunny side of life For the storm in her fury broke today Crushing hopes that we cherished so dear The storm will in time pass away The sun again will shine bright and clear Keep on the sunny side Always on the sunny side Keep on the sunny side of life It will help us everyday It'll brighten all our ways If we 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 everyday It'll brighten all our ways If we keep on the sunny side of life
