Instrumental intro

Mama was his Wildwood Flower, my Daddy used to say,
And to prove to her he loved her, he'd play it every day.
Mom would look at him and smile, she'd say, "God bless my man,
I don't regret one single time that I gave him my hand. "

Refrain

Ain't talking, just walking
Down that highway of regret
Heart's burning, still yearning
For the best girl this poor boy's ever met

I never thought this thing could happen
I never thought you'd be untrue
Or go away with another

What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
Leaning on the ever lasting arms;
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
Leaning on the every lasting arms.

Chorus
Leaning on Jesus, leaning on Jesus,
Safe and secure from all alarms,

When Jesus was around here on this land
He certainly did do his Father's command
Because He knew that He was his Father's only son
He came to draw men unto Him

Oh lift Him up that's all
Lift Him up in His word
If you'll tell the Name of Jesus everywhere

(chorus)

(G)IF YOU EVER ENTER IN TO THAT CITY SO FAIR,
THAT IS (C)MADE BY THE MIGHTY HAND OF (G)GOD;
IT WILL NOT BE BY THE WORK YOU'VE DONE WHILE LIVING HERE BELOW,
IT WILL BE BY THE (D)LOVE AND GRACE OF (G)GOD.

(G)MANY TIMES IN THIS OLD WORLD YOU CAN HEAR PEOPLE SAY,

I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my day.
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised.
(The place where he was born and raised)

For six long years I've been in trouble
No pleasures here on earth I found

Orphan children sees a hard time in this world
Orphan children sees a hard time in this world
Sister does the best she can
But she don't really understand
Orphan children sees a hard time in this world

Brother won't treat you like mother will
When your mother's dead

Ooh death
Whooooah death
Won't you spare me over 'til a another year?

Well what is this that I cant see
With ice cold hands taking hold of me

Well I am death none can excel

O, Death
O, Death
Won't you spare me over til another year
Well what is this that I can't see
With ice cold hands takin' hold of me
Well I am death, none can excel
I'll open the door to heaven or hell
Whoa, death someone would pray

There's a story so unkind in the Holy book we find
And it tells how Jesus stood alone one day
False accused and there condemned yet they found no fault with Him
The man who wore the scarlet purple robe

Purple robe my Savior wore oh the shame for me he bore
As He stood alone, forsaken on that day
And they placed upon His head piercing thorns and blood stained red

There'll be shouting on the hills of glory
Shouting on the hills shouting on the hills
There'll be shouting on the hills of glory
There'll be shouting on the hills of God.

Oh what a blessed reunion
Oh what a blessed reunion
When will we gather over yonder

Well, I was born in the desert,
Came up from New Orleans.
Came up on a tornado,
Sunlight in the sky.

Sure enough, baby, sunlight in the sky.

Hey, hey, young girl, where you at?

Oh lord have mercy on this weary soul of mine
May I walk in your light everyday
And when I've crossed that deep silent river
I'll be happy in that home far away

I wandered away from the straight and the narrow
Driftin' like a ship lost at sea
No lighthouse to guide my weary footsteps
