Johnny Cash Album

There ain't no grave can hold my body down
There ain't no grave can hold my body down
When I hear that trumpet sound I'm gonna rise right out of the ground
Ain't no grave can hold my body down

Well, look way down the river, what do you think I see?
I see a band of angels and they're coming after me
Ain't no grave can hold my body down
There ain't no grave can hold my body down

Well, look down yonder Gabriel, put your feet on the land and see
But Gabriel don't you blow your trumpet 'til you hear it from me
There ain't no grave can hold my body down
Ain't no grave can hold my body down

Well, meet me Jesus, meet me. Meet me in the middle of the air
And if these wings don't fail me I will meet you anywhere
Ain't no grave can hold my body down
There ain't no grave can hold my body down

Well, meet me mother and father, meet me down the river road
And momma you know that I'll be there when I check in my load
Ain't no grave can hold my body down
There ain't no grave can hold my body down
There ain't no grave can hold my body down

I've wept for those who suffer long
But how I weep for those who've gone
Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong
But keep on killing

It's in the soul to feel such things
But weak to watch without speaking
Oh what mercy sadness brings
If God be willing

There is a train that's heading straight
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man,
And woman wait, watch and wait
For redemption day

Fire rages in the streets
And swallows everything it meets
It's just an image often seen
On television
Come leaders, come you men of great
Let us hear you pontificate
Your many virtues laid to waste
And we aren't listening

What do you have for us today
Throw us a bone but save the plate
On why we waited til so late

Was there no oil to excavate
No riches in trade for the fate
Of every person who died in hate
Throw us a bone, you men of great

There is a train that's heading straight
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man,
And woman wait, watch and wait
For redemption day

It's buried in the countryside
It's exploding in the shells at night
It's everywhere a baby cries

Freedom

Don't look so sad, I know it's over.

But life goes on, and this old world will keep on turning.

Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together.
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning.

Lay your head upon my pillow.
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops,
Blowin' soft against the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
For the good times.

I'll get along; you'll find another,
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me.
Don't say a word about tommorrow or forever,
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me.

Lay your head upon my pillow.
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops,
Blowin' soft against the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
For the good times.

Oh death, where is thy sting?
Oh grave, where is thy victory?
Oh life, you are a shining path
And hope springs eternal just over the rise
When I see my Redeemer beckoning me

Oh roll my ship over the waves of Your sea
Let me find a safe port now and then
Don't let the Dark One in Your sanctuary
Until it's time to pack it in

Oh roll my ship with the fire of Your breath
And don't lay a broadside on Your ship as yet
Blow Ye warm winds when it's chilly and wet
And don't come too soon for collecting my debt

(Chorus)
Oh death, where is thy sting?
Oh grave, where is thy victory?
Oh life, you are a shining path
And hope springs eternal just over the rise
When I see my Redeemer beckoning me

Oh let me sail on with my ships to the East
And keep my eye on the North Star
When the journey is no good for men or for beast
I'll be safe wherever You are

Just let me sail into Your harbour of lights
And there and forever to cast out my line
Give me my task and let me do it right
And do it with all of my might

It's a long and a dusty road a hot and a heavy load
and the folks that i met ain't always kind
some are bad some are good some have done the best they
could, and some have tryed to ease my troubled mind

and I cant help but Can't help but wonder where i'm bound
where i'm bound Can't help but wonder where i'm bound

I been wandering thru this land just doing the best I can
trying to find what I was meant to do and the people that I see look as worried as can be and it looks like they are wanderin too

and I can't help but wonder where i'm bound where im bound can't help but wonder where i'm bound

well I had a lil girl one time she had lips like sherry wine
and she loved me till my head went plum insane but i was to blind to see she was driftin' away from me and my good gal went off on a mornin' train

and I Can't help but wonder where i'm bound where I'm bound can't help but wonder where i'm bound

If you see me passing by and you sit and you wonder why and you wish that you were ramblin' too nail your shoes to the kitchen floor lace them up and bar the kitchen door thank your stars for the roof that's over you

and I Can't help but wonder where i'm bound where i'm bound can't help but wonder where i'm bound I Can't help but wonder where i'm bound where i'm bound can't help but wonder where i'm bound

How many times have
you heard someone say.
If I had his money,
I could do things my way.
But little they know
that it’s so hard to find,
One rich man in ten
with a satisfied mind.

Once I was winning
in fortune and fame.
Everything that I dreamed for,
to get a start in life’s game.
Then suddenly it happened,
I lost every dime.
But I’m richer by far
with a satisfied mind.

Money cant buy back
your youth when you’re old.
Or a friend when you’re lonely,
or a love that’s grown cold.
The wealthiest person
is a popper at times.
Compared to the man
with a satisfied mind.

When life has ended
and my time has run out.
My friends and my loved ones
will leave, there’s no doubt.
But there’s one thing for certain
when it comes my time.
I’ll leave this old world
with a satisfied mind.

How many times have
you heard someone say.
If I had his money,
I could do things my way.
But little they know
that it’s so hard to find,
One rich man in ten
with a satisfied mind.

I don't hurt anymore

All my teardrops're dried
No more walking the floor
With that burning inside.

Just to think it could be
Time has opened the door
And at last I am free
I don't hurt anymore.

No use to deny I wanted to die
The day you said we were through
But now that I find you're out of my mind
I can't believe that it's true.

I've forgotten somehow
That I cared so before
And it's wonderful now
I don't hurt anymore.

No use to deny I wanted to die
The day you said we were through
But now that I find you're out of my mind
I can't believe that it's true.
I've forgotten somehow
That I cared so before
And it's wonderful now
I don't hurt anymore.

All day I've faced a barren waste
Without the taste of water, cool water
Old Dan and I with throats burnt dry
And souls that cry for water
Cool, clear, water

Keep a-movin, Dan, don'tcha listen to him, Dan
He's a devil, not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water
Dan, can ya see that big, green tree?
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waitin' there for me and you?
It's water, cool, clear water.

The nights are cool and I'm a fool
Each star's a pool of water
Cool water
But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn
And carry on to water
Cool, clear, water

Keep a-movin, Dan, don'tcha listen to him, Dan
He's a devil, not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water
Dan, can ya see that big, green tree?
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waitin' there for me and you?

It's water, cool, clear, water
Cool, clear, water
Cool, clear, water

Last night I had the strangest dream I've ever known before...I
dreamed that all the world agreed to put an end to war...I dreamed
I saw a mighty room...the room was filled with men...and the papers
they were signing said they'd never fight again. And when the papers
were all signed, and a million copies made, they all shook hands and
bowed their heads and greatful prayers were prayed...and the people
in the streets below were dancing round and round...while swords and
guns and uniforms lay scattered on the ground...Last night I had the
strangest dream I've ever known before...I dreamed that all the world
agreed to put an end to war....

Haaheo e ka ua i na pali
Proudly sweeps the rain cloud by the cliffs
Ke nihi ae la i kanahele
As onward it glides thru the trees
E uhai ana paha i ka liko
It seems to be following the liko
Pua a hihi lehua o u
The a hihi lehua of the vale

Aloha oe, aloha oe,
Aloha oe, farewell to thee,
E ke onaona noho i ka lipo
Thou charming one who dwells among the bowers
One fond embrace, a hoi ae au
One fond embrace, before I now depart
Until we meet again, until we meet again
Until we meet again, until we meet again

O ka halia aloha kai hihi mai
Thus sweet memories come back to me
Ke hone ae nei i kuu manawa.
Bringing fresh remembrance of the past
O oe no ka'u ipo aloha
Dearest one, yes, thou art mine own

A loko e hana nei.
From the true love shall ne'er depart

Maopopo kuu iki i ka nani,
I have seen and watched the loveliness
Na pua rose o Maunawili,
Thou sweet rose of Maunawili
Ilaila hiaai ai na manu,
And 'tis there the birds oft love to dwell
Mikiala i ka nani o ka liko
And sip the honey from thy lips
