Without a Song
~ 1970 'Live' version
Without a song, the day would never end
Without a song, the road would never bend
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a
friend
Without a song!
That field of corn, would never see a
plough
That field of corn, would be deserted now
A young one's born, but he's no good no
how
Without a song!
I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as I
know
The Jordan will roll
(
Roll you river Jordan! )
I'll get along as long as a song is
strung
In my soul!
I'll never know what makes the rain to
fall,
I'll never know what makes the grass so
tall,
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song!
( I got my trouble an' woe,
but sure as I know the Jordan will
roll,
I'll get along
as long as a song is strung in my soul! )
In my soul!
I'll never know what makes the rain to
fall,
I'll never know what makes the grass so
tall,
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song!
