The darkness of my world was all cleared away
The flowers are blooming it's a beautiful day
There's a girl with a heart as big as the sky she's sunshine and I know why
All for the love of sunshine all for the love of sunshine
The Lord smiled down on this life of mine and sent me the love of sunshine
Though sunshine can always make my days seem bright
Sunshine can warm up a cold cold night
I know my sunshine was sent from above an angel that's filled with love
All for the love of sunshine...
Through winter the springtime the summer and fall
The moonlight the starlight she outshines them all
In a world filled with fear with pain and such harm my sunshine can't be so warm
All for the love of sunshine...
All for the love of sunshine...
All for the love of sunshine...

Now they say don't go on Wolverton Mountain
If you're looking for a wife
Cause Clifton Clovers has got a pretty young daughter
And he's mighty handy with a gun and a knife
Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there
The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clovers
If a stranger should wander there
All of my dreams are on Wolverton Mountain
I want his daughter for my wife
I'll take my chances and I'll climb his mountain
Though Clifton Clovers he may take my life
Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there
The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clovers
If a stranger should wander there
I'm goin' up on Wolverton Mountain
'Cause it's too lonesome down here below
It's just ain't right to hide his daughter
From the one that loves her so
Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there
The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clovers
If a stranger should wander there
I don't care about Clifton Clovers
I'm gonna climb up on that mountain
I wanna just the one I love
I don't care about Clifton Clovers
I'm gonna climb up on that mountain

When I stop dreaming that's when I'll stop loving you
The worst that I've ever been hurt in all my life
The first time I've ever really wanted to die
Was the night when you told me you loved someone else
And asked me if I could forget
When I stop dreaming that's when I'll stop loving you
You may teach the flowers to bloom out in the snow
You might take a pebble and teach it to grow
And you might tell the raindrops to return to the clouds
But you'll never teach my heart to forget
When I stop dreaming that's when I'll stop crying for you
When I stop dreaming that's when I'll stop crying for you

(What can I do you win again)
The news is out all over town
That you've been seen out runnin' around
I know that I should leave but then
I just can't go, you win again
This heart of mine could never see
What everybody knew but me
Just trusting you was my great sin
What can I do? You win again
I'm sorry for your victim now
'Cause soon his head like mine will bow
He'll give his heart but all in vain
And someday say you win again
You have no heart, you got no shame
You take true love and give the blame
I guess that I should not complain
I love you still you won again
I love you still you won again

(There goes my only possession
There goes my everything)
I hear footsteps slowly walking
As they gently walk across a lonely floor
And a voice is softly saying
Darling, this will be goodbye forever more
There goes my reason for living
There goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possession
There goes my everything
As my memory turns back the pages
I can see the happy years we had before
Now the love that kept this old heart beating
Has been shattered by the closing of a door
There goes my reason for living
There goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possession
There goes my everything

Big midnight special shine your light on me
Big midnight special shine your everlovin' light on me
Woke up this morning I heard the whistle blow
The jailor says come on boy cause it's time to go
Big midnight special...
Never had the blues so in my life before
Until I left my good gal at that station door
Big midnight special...
Put me in a pullman guards around his door
Said you off to Atlanta you gonna serve ten years more
Big midnight special...
Looked all around me in that pullman car
The men was wearing Stetson hats smoking big cigars
Big midnight special...
Took me off in Atlanta at the end of the line
Said you gonna start serving time boy for your awful crime
Big midnight special...
The whistle makes me lonesome of the midnight train
And it's gonna be ten long years till I go home again
Big midnight special...
. . .

Make the world go away and get it off my shoulder
Say the things you used to say and make the world go away
Do you remember when you loved me before the world took me astray
If you do then forgive me and make the world go away
Make the world go away...
I'm sorry if I hurt you I'll make it up day by day
Just say you love me like you used to and make the world go away
Make the world go away...
Say the things you used to say and make the world go away

(Your cheatin' heart will tell on you)
Your cheatin' heart will make you weep you'll cry and cry and try to sleep
But sleep won't come the whole night through your cheatin' heart will tell on you
When tears come down like falling rain you'll toss around and call my name
You'll walk the floor the way I do your cheatin' heart will tell on you
When tears come down like falling rain you'll toss around and call my name
You'll walk the floor the way I do your cheatin' heart will tell on you

Rainin' in my heart since we've been apart
I know I was wrong darling please come on home
You got me cryin' bout to lose my mind
Don't let me cry in vain try my love just once again

So if you just come on back home there'll be no need for me to cry
Rainin' in my heart since we've been apart
I know I was wrong darling please come on home
Rainin' in my heart since we've been apart darling please come on home
