In the black dust towns of east Tennessee
All the work’s about the same
And you may not go to the job in the ground
But you learn the miner’s refrain

CHORUS:
I’m down in a hole, I’m down in a hole,
Down in a deep, dark hole
I’m down in a hole, I’m down in a hole,
Down in a deep, dark hole

VERSE 2:
When you search the rain for the silver cloud
And you wait on days of gold
When you pitch to the bottom
And the dirt comes down
You cry so cold, so cold

CHORUS:

I’m down in a hole, I’m down in a hole,
Down in a deep, dark hole
I’m down in a hole, I’m down in a hole,
Down in a deep, dark hole

VERSE 3:
Now there’s something good in a worried song
For the trouble in your soul
‘Cause a worried man who’s been a long way down
Down in a deep dark hole

CHORUS:

I’m down in a hole, I’m down in a hole,
Down in a deep, dark hole
I’m down in a hole, I’m down in a hole,
Down in a deep, dark hole
I’m down in a deep, dark hole

Oh little red bird
Come to my window sill
Been so lonesome
Shaking that morning chill
Oh little red bird
Open your mouth and say
Been so lonesome
Just about flown away

Chorus:
So long now I’ve been out
In the rain and snow
But winter’s come and gone
[(C)Em]A little bird told me so

Oh little blue bird
Pearly feather breast
Five cold nickels’ all I got left
Oh little blue bird
What am I gonna do
Five cold nickels
Ain’t gonna see me through

Chorus

Oh little black bird
On my wire line
Dark as trouble
In this heart of mine
Poor little black bird
Sings a worried song
Dark as trouble
‘Til winter’s come and gone

CAPO 3

VERSE 1:
There’s a hundred bluebirds, up above the clouds
Putting all the color in the sky
And twice as many tear drops, there to wash it down
Every one’s another lullaby

CHORUS:
But there’s only one and only
Who could go and leave me lonely

VERSE 2:
There’s a world of trouble, trying to take its turn
I can hear it shaking underground
And half a dozen lessons, I might never learn
Not until them troubles come around

(CHORUS)

VERSE 3:
There’s a mile of blacktop, where the road begins
It takes a time or two to recognize
Growing at the roadside, scattered by the wind
Are everybody’s unsaid sad goobyes

(CHORUS)

CODA:
You’re the only one and only
Why’d you go and leave me lonely

Capo 4

I’ve looked around

Been all up and down

I never wasted time
On two or three[C/B]
There’s only one girl for me
[D/F#]There was a time

She used to treat me fine

But lately she’s been acting
Awful stone[C/B]
Makes her man
Weep and moan

Chorus:
I-[G/B]dee-oh-lay-e-tee

Idle-liddle-lodle-lay-e-oh-oh-oh-tee

I-dee-oh-lay-e-tee

Lay-e-tee
Diddle-odle-[D/F#]lay-e-tee
My Morphine will be
The [D/F#]death of me

You should have seen
Me and my Morphine
When we used to
Go dancing in the war
Spin me right off the floor
(Chorus yodel)
My Morphine will be
The death of me

Morphine Morphine
What made you so mean
You never used to
Do me like you do
Where’s that sweet gal I knew
(Chorus yodel)
My Morphine will be
The death of me
My Morphine

—(capo 2nd fret)—

(verse 1)
There’s gotta be a song left to sing,
Cause everybody can’t have thought of everything,
One little song that ain’t been sung,
One little rag that ain’t been rung out completely yet,
It’s got a little left, one little drop of falling rain,
One little chance to try again, one little bird that makes it home,
now and then, one little piece of endless sky,
One little taste of cherry pie, one little week in paradise,
And I start thinkin,

(verse 2)
There’s gotta to be a song left to sing,
Cause everybody can’t have thought of everything,
One little note that ain’t been used,
One little word that ain’t been abused a thousand times,
In a thousand rhymes, one little drop of falling rain,
One little chance to try again, one little bird that makes it every,
now and then, one little piece of endless sky,
One little taste of cherry pie, one little week in paradise,
And I start thinkin,

(ending)
Gotta be a song left to sing,
Cause everybody can’t have thought of everything,
One little song that ain’t been sung,
One little rag that ain’t been rung out completely yet,
Until there’s nothing left,

I made a lovers prayer
I made a lovers prayer
Then watched the sky
Then wanted to cry
S only you and I
And how I try
I made a lovers prayer

INSTRUMENTAL

I made a lovers prayer
I made a lovers prayer
Help me rise above
What Im thinking of
Just a little more love
Just a little more love

INSTRUMENTAL







I made a lovers prayer
I made a lovers prayer
I made a lovers prayer

I wanna sing that rock and roll,
I want to electrify my soul,
Cause everybody been making a shout,
So big and loud, been drownin’ me out,
I want to sing that rock and roll.

I want to reach that glory land,
I want to shake my Saviour’s hand,

And I wanna sing that rock and roll,
I want to electrify my soul,
Cause everybody been making a shout,
So big and loud, been drownin’ me out,
I wanna sing that rock and roll.

I been a traveling near and far,
but I want to lay down my old guitar.

And I wanna to sing that rock and roll,
I want to electrify my soul,
Cause everybody been making a shout,
So big and loud, been drownin’ me out,
I wanna sing that rock and roll.
