Here are the lyrics from a selection of the tracks.


The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress

words and music by Jim Webb

See her how she flies,
Golden sails across the sky,
Close enough to touch,
But careful if you try,
The moon, she looks as warm as gold,
The moon's a harsh mistress,
The moon can be so cold.

Once the sun did shine,
Lord, it felt so fine,
The moon a phantom rose,
Thru the mountains and the pines,
And then the darkness fell,
The moon's a hard mistress,
It's hard to love her well.

The Precious Jewel

words and music by Roy Acuff

Way back in the hills when a boy I once wondered
Buried deep in the grave lies the one that I love.
She was called her on earth a jewel in heaven
More precious than diamonds more precious than gold.

A jewel here on earth a jewel in heaven
She'll brighten the kingdom around Gods great throne.
May the angels have peace God bless her in heaven
They've broke my heart and they've left me to roam.

When a girl of sixteen we courted each other
She promised some day to become my sweet wife.
I bought her the ring to wear on her finger
But the angels they called her to heaven one night.

This world has its wealth its trials and troubles
Mother earth holds her treasures of diamonds and gold
But can't hold the soul one precious jewel
She's resting in peace with the heavenly fold.

He's Gone Away

traditional

He's gone away
For to stay a little while,
But he's coming back
If he goes 10,000 miles.
Oh who will tie my shoe
And who will glove my hand
And who will kiss
My ruby lips when he is gone.

Look Away, Look Away,
Over Yonder.

He's gone away for to stay
A little while,
But he's coming back if he
Goes 10,000 miles.
And its papa who ties my shoe
And mama who gloves my hand
And you will kiss my ruby lips
When he is gone.

Look Away, Look Away,

Over Yonder.

Spiritual

words and music by Josh Haden
courtesy of Angel Heurtebise BMI

Jesus, I don t want to die alone
Jesus, oh Jesus, I don't want to die alone
My love wasn't true
Now all I have is you
Jesus, oh Jesus, I don't want to die alone.

Jesus, if you hear my last breath
Don't leave me here
Left to die alone my death
I know I have sinned
But Lord I'm suffering
Jesus, oh Jesus, if you hear
My last breath.

All my troublesAll my pain
Will leave me
Once again
Once again
