Singing on the Cotton Fields | Mississippi Delta Blues 1930s & Vintage Jazz Vibes追加:
[music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> When I found out you sing for your living every night >> [music] >> in them smoky little lounges selling your voice [singing] for the lights.
Men throw money on the table just to hear you smile. [music] Then they ask [singing] me later, "Boy, you still love her after a while?"
>> [singing] [music] >> Don't sing no more, baby.
Don't you say [music] another word.
A singer's life is lonesome. Lord, it cuts you like a sword. [music] People come for pleasure, then they leave you in the dark.
But this poor broken singer [singing] deserves [music] somebody's heart.
Love, I'm scared of love, darling.
>> [music] >> IT'S JUST LIKE A FLOWER IN THE WIND.
If tomorrow you leave [music] me, BABY I DON'T KNOW HOW [screaming] I'LL LIVE AGAIN.
>> [music] [music] [music] >> To tomorrow on these streets when the midnight lights go low, [music] I'll be the one who walks you home down that lonesome [music] road away from all the neon lights back to your little dreams.
Just me and you, baby.
[music and singing] That's all we really need.
>> [music] >> I know this life chose me.
I'll take the blame and the shame.
[music] Let the world point their fingers, call me every dirty [music] name.
Long as you still believe in me when the curtains fall, that's enough, my darling. That's enough [music] for me. [singing] That's all.
LIFE IS FULL OF LIES, THEY SAY, but you and I stay true.
Don't talk about [music] this cruel world.
All I need is you.
>> [music] >> Yeah, [singing] all I need is you.
>> [music] [laughter] [music] [music] [music] >> My heart's [screaming] heavy, Lord.
It's overflowing with the blues.
[singing] [music] Remember that night right down [music] Central on a rattling midnight bus.
I SAW YOU STANDING THERE.
>> [music] >> Lips so young and sweet as spring.
BUT YOUR EYES WERE DROWNING IN SORROW.
>> [music] >> Tears ready to fall like rain.
Mhm, life done wrote [music] its bitter stories on your soft and gentle face. [singing] You [music] wore that deep purple dress.
The one that stole my breath away.
FIRST [music] TIME WE SAT REAL CLOSE, talking about old heartaches and [music] pain.
You let me share your burden, helped this weary [music] soul feel light again.
Now I see those RUBY LIPS SMILING, CALLING ME BACK TO THE DREAM.
>> [music] >> You whisper promises soft like a wind through the pines and steam.
[music] BUT I >> [screaming] >> ALREADY KNOW, DARLING, EVERY sweet minute's going to hurt >> [music] >> when that same old train pulls [singing] away and leaves me in the dirt. [music] >> [music] >> When I stepped off in your hometown, morning sun kissed [music] the flowers.
I CAUGHT YOUR SMILE SHINING like the whole world bloomed just [music] for us hours.
We both knew deep inside this joy was borrowed time.
>> [music] >> Cuz tomorrow I'd be gone again on that same damn line.
>> [music] [music] >> Now the train rolls on the old road, two long [music] nights Still waiting on me.
Waiting on [music] me. I'm searching for the warmth we made. Warmth we made. BUT IT'S GONE LIKE SMOKE in the breeze.
Tonight the wind blows [music] colder.
Cutting straight into MY SOUL.
LORD, I'M RIDING BACK ALONE, still carrying your [music] purple glow.
Yeah, I'm meeting you [music and singing] again, my love.
Just to lose you one more time.
On that lonesome midnight train. [singing] >> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [screaming] [music] [music] >> Wow.
>> [music] >> We met just like the first time.
Why I feel so shy? [music] Your lonesome little house said, "Stay with me tonight."
Talk about the wandering years, the love [music] that never [singing] dies.
One more night, darling.
Let's lay our troubles down. [music] Speak every secret before the sun comes around. [music] Once in this life, I'm going to say it true.
>> [music] >> These sweet words on my lips, baby, they're for you.
>> [music] [music] >> Rain on the window, cold wind in my [music] soul, SEARCHING FOR SOFT HANDS TO MAKE THIS BROKEN MAN WHOLE.
Time flies too fast. [music] Morning already at [singing] the door.
If I GOT TO LEAVE TOMORROW ON THAT SAME OLD TRAIN, keep my smile [music] with you through the hurt and pain.
I'll be dreaming [music] of you even far away, my heart stays [music] with you, come what may.
>> [music] [music] [music] >> Bullets flew, smoke was thick, >> [music] >> still I whispered low, "I love you."
SWEETEST WORDS I'LL EVER KNOW. GO, FIGHT your war, then come back home [music and singing] to me, in my dreams, on that midnight train, waiting [music] patiently.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Hey now.
Mhm, river roll slow.
>> [music] >> Mhm.
>> Hey now.
Lord, don't wash us away.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> I remember when I worked in fields, breaking [music] my back for another [singing] man's yield. You walked barefoot, leaving that mule, sunburned smile by the bridge after school. A sack of peaches hanging from your hand.
[music] Cheap tobacco rolled in tin cans. Didn't own much except the clothes we wore.
Still felt [music] richer than the man in town stores.
>> [music] >> At the edge of town stood a leaning [music and singing] shack. Rain came hard through the wooden cracks, but two good hearts and a harvest moon can turn cold nights into warm moons. All [music] night long beneath pale skylight, passing a beating rhythm through the night.
River frogs [music] singing soft and low, our young love [singing] learned how to grow.
Walking over a mile away, >> [music] >> flooded the crops and carried dreams away. Corn fields drowning underneath [music] gray rain. Poor folks, LOVE ain't built for hurricanes. We can't find the radio crack. [music] Young men leaving while mama's prayed night still through smoking [music] the railroad dam. Don't let this hard world split us again.
>> [music] [music] [music] >> If I come home then low and tight, dust in my [music] boots and my soul half tied, leave that porch light burning gold, lead me back [music] through the dark and cold cuz that old field still waits somewhere, dark cane dancing in the [music] humid air, and I still hear that wooden ground like your heartbeat next [music] to mine, morning sun on rusted plows, coffee steaming in a house.
>> [music] >> And somewhere beyond them cotton rows, love still blooms where poor dirt grows.
>> [music] >> Hold me close tonight.
We survived the flood this time.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Watching tamarind leaves drift down from the [music and singing] tree.
Takes me back to the days when you were loving me.
We met right [singing] here, hair blowing in the summer breeze.
[music] Your innocent eyes shining like sunlight [music and singing] through the leaves.
You were beautiful as those tamarind leaves falling [music] slow.
That's when I fell in love.
And never let it go.
>> [music] >> We [music] used to walk the same old dirt road every [singing] day.
Leaves dancing around your feet [music] like they wanted you to stay. Sun painted gold upon [singing] your cheeks [music] so sweet under that blue sky where our young dreams [music] used TO MEET.
NOW WE'RE FAR APART.
SUMMER'S [music] GONE.
The phoenix flowers fall and break my heart. Smoke [music] fills the city sky, but my mind still wanders home to the girl [music] I left behind, the one I can't let go.
Lord, these [music] tamarind leaves keep calling out your name.
Every time they fall, they bring [music] back the pain.
Time [singing] rolled on, we went our separate ways.
[music] Now I'm chasing memories through these long and lonely days. [music] You try to forget, say there's no use holding on, but our love was like those [music] leaves.
>> [music] >> Floating till it's gone.
Yeah, we're far apart, but the [music] leaves still fall. Every autumn wind whispers how I love you most of all, even if you move on [music] down that river to the sea.
These tamarind leaves will keep [music] on reminding [singing] me of a boy and a girl under that old tamarind [singing and music] tree.
Tamarind leaves keep [music] falling down. Tamarind leaves Still [music] drifting around. Tamarind leaves Carrying my love, oh.
>> [music] >> Back to you.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Sun come up, crack that lightning [singing] bolt. Hit us right [music] on time. No map left in my hand, just that road [music] stretching lane. Bottle swing knock my side. [music] Wind talk low, I just ride. Hill go down earth giving.
Same old dirt on [music] my skin.
Let it roll, let it roll.
Don't ask where I've been [music] going.
No home, no home.
Just [music] that road keep on folding.
>> [music] [music] >> Train track home far away.
[music and singing] I ain't no saint, don't ever stay. Saw a town lost its name, [music] left by fire or by shame. Hands got cut, don't feel much. Dust and blood [music] mix and clutch. Not for heart, sky go wide. Ain't no lie [music] left to hide.
Let it roll, [singing] let it roll.
[music] Ain't no chain going to hold me.
Low and slow.
>> [music] >> Hear that whine like it know me. [music] >> [music] [music] [music] >> When keep calling, I don't answer. Feet keep moving, don't know after.
>> [music] >> Dust rise up like a prayer. Ain't no God out there. [music] Road on in.
Just turns in.
I walk on >> [music] >> where I've been.
String ring low.
Fading in.
>> [music] >> Still that sound.
Follow me there.
>> [music] [music] [music] >> Do you remember that old town, baby?
Where we found [music] our peace.
Winding roads and tall pine trees where our >> [music] >> tired feet found ease. Evenings we walked hand [singing] in hand. [music] Sun-kissed and your lips so sweet.
Your sad eyes [music] in the evening mist.
Lord, you looked so complete.
>> [music] >> Sunday morning, just me [music and singing] and you.
In that quiet little church.
Kneeling down, praying to the Lord for a love that never [music] hurt.
BUT THE WORLD HAD OTHER PLANS. TORE us apart [music] like wind and rain.
Now you belong to another man and I'm left with the pain on some [music] foggy town.
Without you, it's so cold.
Empty streets and falling leaves and a heavy ache in my soul. [music] Church bells ring so lonesome now.
LIKE THEY CRY OUT YOUR NAME.
THIS TOWN DONE GONE AND BROKE my heart.
>> [music] >> It would never be [singing] the same.
>> [music] [music] >> Now the wind blows colder.
Cutting straight [music] down to the bone. The road covered in dead brown leaves. I walk it all [music and singing] alone.
No footsteps by my side. Just the [music] silence and the gray.
Even the town looks heartbroken [music] since you went away. Lonesome foggy town.
Lord, I'm still walking through. [music] Gathering broken memories trying to forget you. [music] But every corner every shadow keeps calling out your name.
This sad old town will never be the same. [music] >> [music] >> Mhm.
Yeah.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Sun hang low like burning coal.
Hammering [music] down [singing] on a crooked trail. Boots full of dust and dry bone.
Ain't no shade going to call me home.
Sweat rolls slow like [music] cheap red wine.
Dripping off this back of mine.
I [music] don't drink now. I just breathe.
This road's been drinking me. This road drinks you slow.
Takes your name where the dry winds [music] blow.
Leaves your shadow in the sand [singing] with nothing left but an empty hand.
This road [music] don't let you choose.
You don't walk it, it walks you.
One more mile, one more bruise. Yeah, this road drinks [music] you.
>> [music] [music] [music] >> Sun withered in the heat of hate.
Turned to dust where the devil [singing] tread.
Heard a [music] voice say, "Rest right here." But it sounded like a lie. I fear got no map, [music] just a broken line.
Drawn in dirt by a state of mind.
Every step [music] I lose some truth.
Every mile I lose some you.
This road >> [music] >> it drinks you slow, steals your past and me undertow.
Leaves [music] your story half untold like a song that forgot its soul.
Oh, this road don't let you [music] win.
It gets in your blood under your skin.
One more step and you're cut loose.
[music] Yeah, this road drinks you.
Feet keep talking, don't ask me why. But wind keep howling, don't pass [music] me by. Got no promise, got no proof. Just a rhythm in these worn out boots.
>> [music] [music] >> Might fall down [music] like a tired hand.
Lay me flat on this burning land.
[music] The stars don't shine, they just stare me through like they know what I'm running through.
I ain't lost, [music] I just ain't found what keeps a man from sinking down. If I stop I might see [music] the truth that the road ain't me.
I'm the fuel.
This road >> [music] >> drinks you slow until there's nowhere left to go. Takes your breath, leaves your [music] shoes. Yeah, this road drinks you. [music] >> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> When they lined up [singing] by the old [music] cage fence, Sunday perfume and cheap romance.
Standing hard at that big black beast, [music] whispering things through crooked teeth.
Old man coughed and pretended [music] blind, but everybody watched that line.
[singing] Lord, curiosity [music] burned like gin, especially in SMALL TOWNS FULL OF SIN.
>> [music] >> WATCH that gorilla run.
Whole damn town come undone.
[music and singing] DUST FLY HIGH, CHURCH BELLS SHOUT.
FUNNY what truth drags out.
>> [music] [music] >> The one night the cage rope [music] snapped, moon turned yellow, dogs all yeah.
>> [music] >> Big old gorilla hit the street laughing low with them giant [music] feet. All the ladies vanished one by one. High heels clicking >> [music] >> faster than guns on the two folks.
Stayed behind the judge and a grandma drunk on wine.
>> [music] >> Grandma smiled [music] through wrinkled cheeks, said, "Honey, I still got tricks for weeks." Judge stood proud [music] in his fancy coat thinking power kept his throat afloat, but that gorilla looked around [music] slow, ignored the wine and the old [singing] possum's glow. Grabbed that judge [music] by the collar tight, dragged them screaming through the night.
Watch that gorilla run.
Truth finally [music] caught someone. Robes and medals don't mean a thing. Swamp mud levels everything.
>> [music] >> Mhm.
Mhm.
>> [music] >> Next morning radio >> [music] >> buzzing loud. Half the town laughing in the crowd.
Cuz folks all knew beneath that grin that [music] old judge buried [singing] plenty sins.
Watch that gorilla grin.
>> [music] >> Maybe peace now >> [singing] >> rotting in.
And somewhere deep in the backwards [music] rain, just a house without a name.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> And all this love had faded out.
>> [music] >> Like a heart gone cold somehow.
>> [music] >> Thought you drifted far away. [singing] And you feel the sky again.
Oh, you're all dress in the wind blew [music] across the falling dusk like a flood out on the river >> [music] >> washing all my lonely days.
Thought this love was dead and gone, [music] still it overflows my soul.
Though you vanished long ago, still I feel you all around.
Oh, soft [music] and gentle footsteps walked straight into my life like little river stones sinking in the deep blue sea. [music] WHEN THE HEART IS STILL SMALL, love feels like a little sunlight. When the heart [music] grows too deep, LOVE TURNS WIDE AS the ocean. One climbs toward [music] the mountain, one falls into the dark.
And our love >> [music] >> fades away like a bird beyond the hills. Thought our love had died in silence, still it trembles [music] through the night.
Thought I'd forgotten you, >> [music] >> still your shadow lingers here.
Those shy and trembling fingers [music] brought the closeness back again like wild [music] winds upon the sea drifting through a restless [music] life.
>> [music] >> Thought you were part of the old year.
Then you suddenly returned.
Thought the waves [music] had carried love away.
Still it stretches endlessly.
All this tired [music] broken heart found an hour of joy again. [music] Like a distant shore at low tide, drowning softly in the rain. Thought our love had died [music] in silence.
Still it trembles through the night.
Thought I'd forgotten you.
>> [music] >> Still your shadow lingers here.
Your shy and trembling [music] fingers brought the closeness back again.
Like wild weeds [music] on the sea, drifting through a restless life.
Thought [music] you were part of the old year.
Then you suddenly returned.
Thought the waves [music] had carried love away.
Still it stretches endlessly.
All this tired [music] broken heart found an hour of joy again.
Like a distant shore at low [music] tide, drowning softly in the rain.
>> [music] [music] [music] >> Red shirt hang.
Left side low. [music] One pin bent.
Barely hold.
Collar stiff. [music] It's all rain [singing] dry. Smell like sun and old sweat line.
Jeans dripped out. Meat [music] tone white.
Mud still stuck inside the side.
>> [music] >> Pocket turned. Coin fell out. Hit that tin.
Small dull sound. [music] Ooh, that red shirt [music] ain't mine.
Still it hang.
All my life.
>> [music] >> Why I know where it been.
Turn it slow.
Show the skin.
>> [music] [music] >> Sleeve got tear.
Near the seam.
Thread pulled out. [music] Rough on me. Cuff still black. From [music] that [singing] oil. Won't wash off. No matter boil.
I reach once, then pull [music] back.
Hands stay still on that rack. Sun go down, color fade, still that shape.
Never change. [music] That red shirt don't leave. [music] Line go slack.
Still [music] it breathe.
>> [music] >> No word never said.
But I know >> [singing] [music] >> where it bleed.
>> [music] [music] >> He left it here.
Didn't fold.
Set back some >> [music] >> that got [singing] old.
Rain hit hard, >> [music] >> I let it stay.
Let it soak, won't wash away.
>> [music] >> Morning come, >> [music] >> shirt still there.
Same one pinned. Old daddy.
Hot don't move, [music] don't take it down.
Let it hang.
Run this town.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Sadness creeps into my soul. Lord, it [singing] ain't got no name.
>> [music] >> Wake up half past midnight. [singing] Old memories driving me insane.
The quiet street where I met you [music] back when love felt so true.
We gave each other everything. [singing] Now, I don't know [music] what to do.
>> [music] [music] >> I can't forget the one who knows this every road.
I still remember your footsteps [music] and the promises we owed.
NIGHTS I LIE HERE WIDE AWAKE, heart [music] burning like a flame.
Searching for your shadow in this cold and empty game.
Midnight [music] street without you, lights are shining but so cold.
I keep walking, keep on searching for a love that never shows.
Footsteps [music] echo lonesome, wind cuts straight down to the bone.
Another night of looking, still coming home alone.
>> [music] [music] [music] >> Lonesome days [music] keep dragging, cold wind blows through MY WINDOWPANE.
DRY MY lips a thousand times, still [music and singing] calling out your name.
Life is full of wondering, full of things I can't [singing] explain. [music] If you hear this lonesome feeling, send me back [music] one smile through THE RAIN. [singing] JUST ONE NIGHT >> [music] >> I'LL REMEMBER IT. THAT'S ALL I'm begging for.
Send this broken [music] heart back TO THE ONE I'M WAITING FOR.
OH, midnight street without you.
>> [music] >> Lord, I'm still walking. Still walking.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Rain has fallen since before my time.
>> [music] >> Rolling through the world the same old way.
Down on highways to motel lights across tired hearts in the middle of the night.
>> [music] [music] >> Rain on me when I was [music] young and wild.
Back when love still ran free like a child.
Silver [music] strands running through my hair, still hear your [singing] memory in the humid air.
>> [music] >> Rain comes crawling from [music] the distant hills.
Flooding rivers, window sills.
Breaking sorrow in the smallest [music] streams, feeding old ghosts and broken dreams.
Build me a [music] house where the shadows stay.
Thin black curtains and skies of gray.
Every [music] drop keeps whispering low about the things lost long ago.
Rain falls [music] into my soul tonight.
Rain falls through what we left behind.
Tell me, baby, maybe it's true.
[music and singing] Maybe the rain keeps falling for me and you.
>> [music] [music] [music] >> And the rain keeps coming down. On empty bars and dying [music] towns.
But no matter how the years roll through, >> [singing] >> I never learn how to stop loving you.
>> [music] [singing] [music] [music] >> AM radio [singing] buzzing soft and strange, porch light flickering [music] through the rain.
Coffee gone cold beside my [music] hand, [singing] like time washed through this old southern land.
>> [music] >> Rain still falls slowly through the cracks where memories [music] sleep.
Somewhere in that endless gray, your name [music] still washes over me.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> From the day we met, I never said a single word. [singing] >> [music] >> Kept my love locked inside like a prayer I never heard.
MANY NIGHTS I WATCHED THE STARS >> [music] >> WISHING OUR LOVE WOULD LAST.
DREAMED WE'D grow old together, make this heartache disappear [singing and music] at last.
>> [music] [music] >> When I'm with you, my soul blooms like flowers after rain. [music] But I swallowed every I love you, let it turn to pain.
>> [music] >> I wanted to tell you so many times, >> [music] >> BUT THE WORDS just ran away.
And I'm standing [music] here watching my whole world fade. [singing] TODAY I SAW THAT WEDDING CAR, [music] FLOWERS ALL WHITE AND RED, rolling down the old dirt road, taking my baby away.
Sent my little fool of love waiting on a pink reply, but all I got [music] was that white car and a tear in my eye.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Purple evening falls so quiet.
Old road feels so [music] long.
Leaves come drifting slowly, >> [music] >> like my heart >> [singing] >> done lost its song.
I opened UP MY ARMS WIDE, THOUGHT I HEARD your step, >> [singing] >> but there's nothing but the wind, AND A PAIN I CAN'T FORGET.
>> [singing] >> THAT WHITE WEDDING CAR keeps a-rolling, taking [music] you from me. I'm still standing in the purple light, WHERE I'LL ALWAYS BE, [music] open arms, broken dreams. Lord, this sorrow cuts so deep. [music] Tell me when this heartache's going to let me sleep.
>> [music] >> Yeah, [singing] when this heartache's going to let me [music] sleep.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> What you stand in the soul of man?
So one day I could rise and walk alive.
Oh, [screaming] sweet dust up on [music] the wind.
Sunlight shining on [singing] this >> [music] >> restless ride.
>> [music] >> What [music] dust turned in this heart of man?
So one day I return to dirt again.
[singing] OLD DUST DOUBT ON the road.
>> [music] >> Some old rhythm is [music] knocking the same.
>> [music] [music] [music] >> So many years wearing this [music] human skin.
One cold evening my hair >> [music] >> turned white.
Dead leaves falling from the trees.
A hundred years [music] fade in a single night.
What kind of sun still [music] burns my heart till love gets worn out like a river [music] stones. Let me hide my face a while every day [singing] waiting by the telephone. [music] >> [music] [music] >> Wood broken woods what [music] empty trees from down below. I hear that call again. [singing] Oh, this dust and weary fate would only [music] disappear without a name.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Mountain wrapped in silver rain, low gray sky hanging heavy again.
[singing] I was just a drifter passing through up and down them quiet avenues and there was you.
>> [music] >> Red cheeks glowing in [singing] the cold cafe light >> [music] >> and somehow the whole world felt all right.
This town stays winter almost [music] all year [singing] long.
Mist on your hair like an old sad song.
Your eyes held rain the [music] way clouds do.
Soft as dusk when the mountains turn blue.
>> [music] >> Small town streets [music] close enough to walk.
Every corner [singing] carrying familiar thoughts. 10 short [music] minutes and you're back again. [singing] WELL, memories sit like [music] old friends.
Some evenings hit without warning signs.
Knowing it's drifting in with the [music] pine. And all at once your heart turns still.
Listening to the silence of the hills.
So, thank you for this little [music] town.
For your soft dark hair falling down.
Tomorrow I'll be far from here.
Past border roads and forgotten [music] years. But somewhere deep beneath the cold I'll keep this wild when I grow old.
>> [music] >> A little something hard to explain.
Have to remember.
>> [music] >> Have to forget.
>> [music] [music] [music] >> Late night radio through mountain [singing] One dim bar and a tired old dog and your face floating through [singing and music] the steam.
Like a place I saw once in a dream. [music] Something left to remember.
Something [music] left to lose.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Rain keeps falling, soaking this [music] old town.
Wetting the shoulders of [singing] a man who's always moving round. [music] Empty streets, [singing] faded lights, not a soul around.
>> [music] >> Just a poor little neighborhood swallowed by the sound. [music] NIGHT AFTER NIGHT I SING MY SONGS.
SONGS FOR THE CROWD.
>> [music] >> Bring them laughter, bring them joy.
>> [music] >> Singing good and loud.
But when the curtain falls and the last light dies I stand alone with all [music] these tears I can't hide.
People come running >> [music] >> when the music's PLAYING HIGH.
BUY MY SMILES, BUY MY STORIES.
Stay for one more night.
>> [music] >> But when the flowers fade and the show is done, they disappear like smoke >> [music] >> into the morning sun. IS LIFE JUST a river, a temporary [music] dock?
Everybody stops for a while.
Then they walk. [music] >> [music] >> One shadow on the porch in [music] the pouring rain.
A wandering soul still carrying an old refrain.
>> [music] >> The rain won't stop.
It keeps beating on my skin.
Singer crying for [singing] the life he's living in.
They love me when I'm singing.
>> [music] >> They forget me when I'm gone.
Just [music] another voice fading with the dawn.
Rain keeps falling on this lonely stage [music] tonight.
Washing away the footprints [music] of another broken life.
Lord, I sing for [music] the people.
But, who's going to sing for me >> [music] >> under this cold rain?
>> [music] >> I'm as lonely as can be. [music] Rain keep falling on this old guitar [music] and me.
>> [music] >> Rain Mhm.
Keep falling on the only life I see.
>> [music] [music] [music] >> Mhm.
>> [music] >> I used to lose on no track show. [music] Fans run out, I step below.
Bob back home, wish [music] for coke.
Black crack, take my note.
>> [music] >> Can't break this.
Cut my way.
Spotlight [music] on my face. Salt on lip.
Sunburn thin. Thorns stay in, I keep [music] in.
Ooh, no road, still I go.
When they sign, still I [music] know.
Ooh, I'm brave, >> [music] >> God don't fold.
Foot keep time, [music] heart stay cold.
Well [music] and short.
Tires all gone. Gravel fade, I move on.
River wide, no bridge laid.
Boot [music] going, cross that shade. Heel go red, slide me down. Knee hits rock, [music] no sound. Cloud hang low, swallow sky.
Step [music] by step I don't ask why.
No road, still [music] I go. My turn way, let it go.
Edge call, I get close, [music] lose the line, keep the ghost.
>> [music] >> No mark left.
Save what I press in.
>> [music] >> Grass lay down.
Let me forget [music] your name, fall off like dried mud.
Only sound is my [music] blood.
Yeah.
Yeah, night could >> [music] >> stop, go wrong. No path here, never was.
Heel, hip, [music] dog, same old tone, [singing] walk so long.
It feels like home.
>> [music] >> It feels like home.
>> [music] >> Woo!
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> There old dirt road you walked, sun turned your long [singing] hair [music] gold. Every step you took tore a hole inside my soul.
I wrote you poems for your wedding day.
>> [music] >> Strangers stopped to listen to the love we couldn't say.
Many full moons came and passed, but the rain kept you away. [music] I marched off to the battlefield.
You stood [music] there crying in the grave.
I searched in down that empty road for me, >> [singing and music] >> asking if anybody still remembers our dream.
Oh girl, do you see [music] the sun rise from the sea? Does your heart still look for the man who's lost at sea?
>> [music] >> Here on this LONG NIGHT WATCH, I whisper low. Every word we spoke [music] I still carry. I still know.
Your [music] faded uniform COAT WEATHERED BY THE STORM.
I [music] WE'D stand together.
I dreamed you'd wear my name. [music] I gave you flowers, gave you [music and singing] everything I had.
Asked how long this love could last.
[music] Now time rolls on, but the old road still remember [music] that one clear moonlit night >> [music] >> at the quiet roadside inn.
Just you and me.
>> [music] >> And the wind.
Oh girl, do you see the [music] wind rise from the sea? Does your heart still call for [music] the man who's still missing the The stars may wear down, but they still [music] HOLD OUR STORY THAT ONE NIGHT under the moon.
>> [music] >> Just you and me.
In all our glory.
>> [music] [music] >> The road [music] you used to walk still calls your name when the night gets dark.
Time may forget most things, [music] but it never forgot you and me.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> One year old back and the valves turn thin.
Dust gathers slow [music] where your touch once been.
Perfume fades out >> [music] >> from the back room air like dead roses left in a rocking chair.
>> [music] >> You walk past that little church in gray, skin and [music] bones in the autumn [singing] rain, look like a stray cat cold and lost waiting on [music] somebody kind enough [singing] to stop. And I loved you sudden like first rain falls on an old crack yard behind shotgun [music] walls.
Petals came down to the muddy breeze lawn.
Love ain't with hearts like these.
Just one rain storm and the WHOLE THING BENDS.
ONE EYED WHISKEY [music] AND HALF MADE AMENDS.
Just one long year and the fire burns low.
Funny [music] how fast old long hands go cold.
>> [music] [music] >> I loved you blind like old Adam [singing] did two barefoot fools where the garden split. Storm clouds circling over our heads, sleeping beside all the words [music] unsaid. One long evening curled up alone, TV glowing a dead dial tone. FELT MY CHILDHOOD leave the room like cigarette [music] smoke in the blue dusk gloom.
Love keeps swaying like a screen door chain when change is [music] close but it feels the same.
People leave and heaven stays still but lonely hearts keep paying the bills.
[singing] I thought maybe someday [music] love would die but it still lays traps beneath warm night skies. Scared hearts [music] crack when mercy shines. Even [singing] old sinners still kneel sometimes. Millions kissing beneath neon lights, just praying not to lose somebody [music] tonight. And somewhere deep where the black souls drown, a little grace keeps floating around in white heaven.
>> [music] >> Through motel blinds, falling down [music] on these hearts of mine in white [music] heaven.
Soft and slow, >> [music] >> shining through the places [singing] nobody goes.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Woah.
>> [music] >> If one day [singing] we wake up miles apart, don't let those tears [music] drown your heart.
Keep the morning we first found each other.
Hold it close. [music] Don't let it fade like summer.
>> [singing] >> If we ever have to say goodbye, >> [music] >> baby, don't you waste a single cry.
>> [music] >> WHO'S GOING TO WALK YOU HOME WHEN THE NIGHT GETS COLD?
WHO'S GOING TO HOLD YOU TIGHT WHEN THE WORLD [music] feels old?
Who's going to write your favorite songs when you're blue?
In this quiet house without me and you.
I love the sadness [music] living in [singing] your eyes. Love the fire when you get mad then apologize. [music] You dragged me out dancing in the pouring [music] rain laughing like fools while the sky fell down again.
Cuz you [music] always loved the rain.
>> [singing] >> And I loved you.
I'm just a foolish man with a guilty soul. IF I EVER BREAK [music] YOUR HEART, LORD, take mine whole. Every night I'll be staring at that same [music] damn moon.
Wondering if you're thinking about me, too.
SO IF TOMORROW WE HAVE TO PART, DON'T YOU CRY. DON'T YOU TEAR YOURSELF [music] APART. Keep the night we gave each other everything. Real love like ours don't die, it just changes [music] form. We loved hard, we loved true.
Even if this road don't lead me back to you.
>> [music] >> If we ever part, don't cry for me, babe. [music] I'll carry you in every SONG I sing long after I'm gone.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> I fell in love with my mother tongue.
Back when I was small and half asleep.
Mama humming through the mosquito night >> [music] >> while the ceiling fan turns slow above me.
>> [music] >> Old words carried through flooding walls, >> [music] >> through broken ears and slammed screen doors.
>> [music] >> Laughter, sorrow, dust and rain.
Still that old voice calls my [music] name.
That sound there beside [music] my crib.
Now it lives inside my ribs like a worn out gospel melody.
>> [music] >> Still humming [singing] low through the heart of me.
>> [music] >> I LOVE THEM OLD FOLK BLUES SONGS, [music] them old spirituals all night long.
Like cats flying over fields of [music] dust or a sweet girl laughing on the bus, soft-spoken with them fireflies.
Warm as whiskey [music] on humid nights.
Lord, some voices stay with you long after you burns clean through.
>> [music] [music] [music] >> I love the farmers in faded brown working cracked earth outside [singing] town, >> [music] >> sunburned necks and iron hands, still feeding souls across this land.
Old women praying by kitchen light, kids [music] chasing cattle till night time, dusty roads stretching southward slow further than the river boats go.
HARD YEARS CARVED into their skin, but [music] they keep letting tomorrow in like pine trees leaning through hurricane wind, [music] never breaking, just bending again.
>> [music] >> I carry ghosts I've never seen, old blood running underneath. Names on buried still rise [music] somehow inside the songs we sing right now.
SUPPORT THE COFFEE, LET THE radio [music] play.
Morning sun climbing through the gray.
And I keep singing soft and low [singing] for the land that raised my soul.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Mhm.
>> [music] [music] >> Mhm.
They say you got to bleed before you see the gold.
>> [music] >> Suffer first and the good times come.
That's what I've been told. [singing] But get [music] rich first and watch it all fall apart.
>> [music] >> When the money's gone, so are the ones who called [singing and music] you brother from THE START.
HARD TIMES reveal the real ones, [music] brother.
When you're down and broke, that's when they show their [singing] color.
When you got everything they [music] need, they smile and share your wine.
When you lose it all, they sell your name and leave you behind. Lord, hard [music] times reveal who's really by your side.
>> [music] >> Now I'm standing in the ashes of the life I built so [music] high. People I called family turned and said goodbye.
Funny how the phone [music] stays quiet when you're calling from the dark, but lights up like Christmas when you're holding money in your [singing] hand.
So, thank you. [music] Thank you, my so-called friends. Thank you for teaching [music] me how this cold world really bends. One more time, I raise my [music] glass and say it loud and true, because of you I finally learned what real friendship means. [music] Hard times reveal Yeah, they cut you to [music] the bone.
Show you who's your brother and who's just [music] passing through along.
And I thank YOU FOR THE LESSON.
THOUGH IT HURT me [music] deep inside.
Now I know the truth, and now I'm richer for the [music] ride.
Hard times reveal.
Thank you for the pain.
>> [music] >> Now I see the world exactly as [singing] it is.
>> [music] >> Is it?
>> [music] >> Yeah.
>> [music] >> Cow chip sundown, that's the only way TO WIN. COW >> [music] >> CHIP COLD SOUND LEAVES YOU broken in the end. Thank you, my friends. [singing] Thank you for showing [music] me who you really been.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Rain hanging on the leaves tonight, with mama crying by the pale [music] post light. Her hands still shaking over [singing] folded clothes, talking to a boy lord already gone cold. [music] Rain hanging on the leaves again, [music] young wives laughing when the war finally ends. Front door swinging, boots on wood, one [singing] man came home, another [music] never could.
>> [music] >> Rain hanging on the leaves so still.
Life keeps climbing every broken hill.
Baby crying in the midnight room, while old folks slow [music] dance to a dying tune.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Rain hanging on the leaves at dawn, man finds [music] love right before it's gone. Coffee gone cold by the window screen, last kiss trembling with the night [singing] air been.
Rain hanging on the leaves in June, young hearts beating reckless [music] to the moon. First time touching trembling skin, like the whole wide world just opened [singing and music] in.
Rain hanging on [music] the leaves somewhere, train smoke dripping through the humid air. Some folks part for a couple hours, some [music] lose each other for a lifetime now.
And every rain drop knows a name, every soul burns through joy and pain.
>> [music] >> Somebody's praying.
Somebody's gone.
>> [music] >> Somebody still leaves the back porch on.
>> [music] [music] >> I'm sure [music] ain't falling.
gentle crying soft and low.
Leaves still [music] shine even after [music] goodbye.
>> [music] [music] [music] >> And I won't let me sleep.
Rain keeps tapping on the roof.
Little attic lamp is dying.
Shadows on the wall like ghosts of truths.
>> [music] >> I rest my head upon your arm.
We talk about the days gone [music] by.
All those tender memories wrapped [music] in the scent of you and I.
>> [music] >> I want to ask you, baby, was our love too [music] short to last?
Did we hide too many secrets in the letters of the past. [music] THAT'S WHY EVERY TIME the midnight rain >> [music] >> comes falling down, it shakes me wide awake and [music] turns my heart around.
Rain outside is pouring, [music] soaking through my shirt. Long night feels so heavy, >> [music] >> full of hurt.
Someone just left this little town [music] tonight, LEFT A THOUSAND ACHING memories burning in my mind. If I gave [music] you all my pictures, all the pieces of my soul, promise me [music] you won't forget them when the morning takes its toll.
We fell asleep [music] inside a smile, wrapped in each other's [music] glow, while the last few drops of rain [music] kept falling soft and slow, rain on our window >> [music] >> rain on everything we knew.
EVERY DROP reminds me I'm still [music] missing you.
We were almost forever, almost made it through. [music] Now I'm lying here alone, listening [music] to the rain and you.
>> [singing] >> RAIN, KEEP [music] FALLING.
ON THIS EMPTY BED and me. [music] Take my love with you wherever you may be.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> A thousand miles [singing] >> [music] >> between us now.
The tail lights faded anyhow. [music] Ain't much left here to laugh or cry.
Just empty chairs [music] and a tired night sky.
So, climb aboard that [music] midnight train take every ounce of love we made. [music] Carry it south where the cold wind blows. Lord knows some [music] things never come [singing] home.
>> [music] [music] >> I stood there watching >> [music] >> your shadow fade.
Into memories of losing shape. [music] Old photographs inside a drawer don't smell like summer anymore.
>> [music] >> Pressed down vows inside old mail.
Brown hair ribbons gone dry [music] and pale.
Dust keeps falling through these hands like time don't care [music] who understands.
I'd give it all back.
>> [music] >> Every song, every laugh, EVERY PORCH KISS on [music] them hot July nights.
Tears, the jokes, the fights, the wine.
>> [music] >> Take it all, baby.
Leave me the time.
>> [music] [music] >> Give [music] back the mornings soft and slow.
Backroads glowing >> [music] >> after snow.
Moonlit streets >> [music] >> and pinewood dawns.
Now they feel like somebody [music and singing] else's songs.
Even bitterness can drift away like rainwater running off [music] the place two once soft darling survives the pain like smoke curling through an empty train. Life broke clean like a highway line. One heart cut through [music] yours and mine still got one last prayer to send. May your road be warm [music] wherever it is.
A thousand miles and the radio hums lost >> [music] >> blues through the engine drums.
Somewhere far beyond [music] these towns I hope love still [singing] lays gently down. [music] >> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Mhm.
>> [music] >> Storm once a fence >> [music] >> low had down deep didn't say hello. He marked out [singing and music] where the clay went thin then the wind just took him in.
Dog went [music] quiet wouldn't cross that track. Screen door creaked then it eased right [singing] back. Sun sat red [music] on a chapel tin light went dim like he stepped in.
>> [music] >> Heard that bell in the dust.
One slow ring not for us.
Ooh, they're gone like a gust. [music] They don't stay in the dust.
>> [music] [music] >> Storm man swore he paid no [music] dime.
Left a coin from another time. Glass sugar once [music] sat on the wooden bar. No one close just that jar.
River held like a noose thread. [music] Ripple small where it might have bled.
Boot print turned at the willow bend.
Track just [music] broke.
At the end.
Ooh, HEARD THAT BELL IN THE DUST.
Cold [music] dying cry thin as rust.
Don't look back. Don't you trust what walks [music] through Stay with us.
>> [music] >> Ring [music] it once, no hand I seen.
Rope still swing where it been.
Door stood [music] shut, no hands, no sound. Bell keep humming under the ground.
>> [music] [music] [music] >> Night come [music] slow, fields lay flat. Wind pass through where he sat.
[music] If you hear that iron sing, don't [music] go near that bell he rang.
>> [music] [music] >> No other way.
>> [music] >> You got to keep a gentle heart.
No other way, my love.
Little wind carry it away.
>> [music] >> Little wind carry it away.
>> [music] [singing] [music] >> LET THE NEW BLOOD CLOUDS above the river flow. [music] Through the rising dawn >> [music] >> or endless nights alone.
>> [music] >> Oh, this heart keeps drifting through the hands of time like a shadow stealing [music] beautiful lives.
When the evening falls, [music] sometimes all we need is a little laugh to ease the [music] sorrow as the leaves keep blowing past >> [music] >> and the water rolls away.
And the water rolls away.
>> [music] [music] >> Lay your soul down low and look through love without a word.
Just stay [music] silent there and let the heartache burn.
Inside [music] the heart, a wounded bird lies still.
Sleeping [music] alone with scars too deep to heal.
Then one morning that bird [music] flies endlessly.
>> [music] >> And his song dissolves into the windy sky.
Try to love tomorrow. [music] Though this human life gets tiring.
Still we laugh [music] somehow.
Even when somebody's gone.
>> [music]
