On the Trail

Drop me off in Georgia
Pick me up in Maine
To get where I’m goin’ I don't need no road now
Don’t need no train
I’ll spend my evenings singin’ with the nightingale
And walk by day on this mountain pathway
I’m on the trail
This path I walk’s a journey, it matters not the end
It don’t matter where I’m going, or where I’ve been
For I might choose the long road, or take it nice and slow
But I’ll catch up to you by sundown, we’ll share the fire’s glow
Drop me off in Georgia
Pick me up in Maine
To get where I’m goin’ I don't need no road now
Don’t need no train
I’ll spend my evenings singin’ with the nightingale
And walk by day on this mountain pathway
I’m on the trail
I’ll climb so many summits, and see amazing views
I’ll plod along through valleys and I’ll sometimes get the blues
But if I keep on walkin’ I know I’ll surely find
The treasure I’ve been searchin’ for it’s my little peace of mind
Drop me off in Georgia
Pick me up in Maine
To get where I’m goin’ I don't need no road now
Don’t need no train
I’ll spend my evenings singin’ with the nightingale
And walk by day on this mountain pathway
I’m on the trail

Gaucho Silvertone

If you stroll down Main
Looking for a sweet refrain
Or need someone to sing away your blues
You will find me by the road
With my Gaucho Silvertone
And the two of us will play one just for you
So drop a nickel in my case
And I’ll send a song your way
Whether you need something fast or slow
I hope it makes your day
As you carry on your way
Played with love on my Gaucho Silvertone
She’s survived two floods and once was filled with mud
By a little child who knew not wrong from right
Still she sounds so sweet as she sings out on the street
As we play for change each and every night
When your mind gets sore
From your job that’s become a bore
Come on down to the corner, find me there
For that’s where I stand
With my Silvertone in hand
Floating melodies into the air

One More River

Take my eyes, dear
They've already cried too much
Now my time is up
And I'm ready to be movin' on
Take my hands, dear
They've already felt too much
Now my plan is up
And I'm ready to be movin' on
One more river to cross
One more mile to go
One more road to lead
'Til I find my way back home
Take my arms, dear
They've already fought too much
Now my charm is up
And I'm ready to be movin' on
Take my heart, dear
It's already wept too much
Now my part is up
And I'm ready to be movin' on
One more river to cross
One more mile to go
One more road to lead
'Til I find my way back home
Take my feet, dear
They've already walked too much
Now my street is up
And I'm ready to be movin' on
One more river to cross
One more mile to go
One more road to lead
'Til I find my way back home

Big Walker Mountain

Way up on Walker Mountain, boys, there’s a man who’s got a still
Better bring your shiny nickels if you wanna get your fill
Don’t try to play him for a fool; he don’t care who you are
You’ll pay before you take a drink or you won’t have none at all
Drink it down, Big Walker Mountain
Though you know you may never leave
Drink it down, Big Walker Mountain
Let the moonshine bring you to your knees
They tell the tale of the hunters who once stumbled on that site
They drank up every jug around and threw away their lives
Old Man Walker found them there passed out on the floor
He didn’t bother takin’ names, just shot his forty-four
Drink it down, Big Walker Mountain
Though you know you may never leave
Drink it down, Big Walker Mountain
Let the moonshine bring you to your knees
I’m goin’ on up to the mountaintop to have me a little taste
And if I find that magic still my life will go to waste
Cause once you start it’s impossible to get back in control
Your life don’t mean a damn no more when the liquor takes its hold
Drink it down, Big Walker Mountain
Yes, I know I may never leave
Take me in, Big Walker Mountain
Let the moonshine bring me to my knees

Then I'll Know
04:46

When I look outside my window
See the raindrops falling soft
I'll look back and see your beauty
Then I'll know what I have truly lost
When I sing this verse of roses
And I send it off to you
May my voice float through your window
Then I'll know I've done all I can do
Yes I know these days may seem eternal
Never falling through the hourglass
And I know …
Time is never turning back
When I see that autumn sunset
Like a blanket o'er the land
I will feel the chill of winter
Then I'll know you've found another man
Yes I know these days may seem eternal
Never falling through the hourglass
And I know …
Time is never turning back
When I hear December whisper
That you've given your love away
I will light this lonely candle
And I'll pour my tears into the flame
Yes I know these days may seem eternal
Never falling through the hourglass
And I know …
Time is never turning back
