His Message Home

As the night softly fell down upon the old corral

And the moon into the blue sky made its way

Not a sound could be heard but the song of some wild bird

As it hovered where the dying cowboy lay.

Then he whispered goodnight to his cowboy pals so dear

As his head up on his saddle they did lay

''If you ever go home, you can tell them that I've gone

And am sleeping in a lonely western grave.''

''Mother begged me not to stray, from the old home go away,

Though I loved her still her pleadings were in vain

Dry those tears boys please, don't cry, one more roundup we will ride

Where we'll know no heartaches, sorrows, tears or pain.''

''Oh, that dear old shady stream where oft times I used to dream

It was there I used to meet the girl I loved.

Bit I'll never see her more till we reach that golden shore.

Way up there we'll meet in that bright land above...''

I Just Wanted to Know (How the Wind Was Blowing)

I want you to know if things should go wrong

As you walk through your world if you're walkin' along

Give me your burden I'll carry you low

Remember I love you I just want you to know.

Whatever you do or whatever they say

There's someone believing in you, walk away

Anytime you feel lonely or need someone to hold

Remember I love you I just want you to know.

I want you to know when we're far apart

When I cannot steal to you heart to heart

If one lets you whisper sweet words that aren't so

Remember I love you I just want you to know.

Remember I love you I just want you to know...
