I got a woman with plenty of money
She got the money and I got the honey
Called my baby late last night
She told me daddy everything was all right
She got the money and I got the honey
She got the money and I got the honey
She got the money and I got the honey
I don't have to worry about her she's real fine
I know my baby and she's all mine
She give me a Cadillac, a diamond ring
She told me daddy don't you worry bout a thing
She got the money and I got the honey
She got the money and I got the honey
She got the money and I got the honey
She's all mine and I'm so glad
She's the best woman that I ever had
She's all mine and I'm so glad
She's all mine and I'm so glad
She's all mine and I'm so glad
Ah, stop your train
Ah mama stop your train

Killing The Blues
Leaves were falling, just like embers,
In colors red and gold, they set us on fire
Burning just like moonbeams in our eyes.
[Chorus:]
Somebody said they saw me, swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud, killing the blues.
Now I'm guilty of something...
I hope you never do
Because there is nothing
Any sadder than losing yourself in love.
[Chorus]
And then you've ask me... just to leave you
To set out on my own
And get what I needed.
You want me to find what I've already had.
[Chorus 2x]
In colors red and gold, they set us on fire
Burning just like moonbeams in our eyes.
[Chorus:]
Somebody said they saw me, swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud, killing the blues.
Now I'm guilty of something...
I hope you never do
Because there is nothing
Any sadder than losing yourself in love.
[Chorus]
And then you've ask me... just to leave you
To set out on my own
And get what I needed.
You want me to find what I've already had.

Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us
Strange things are happening everyday
I hear the music up above my head
Though the sight of my heart has left me again
I hear music up above
Secrets are written in the sky
Looks like I've lost the love I've never found
Though the sound of hope has left me again
I hear music up above
Standing in my broken heart all night long
Darkness held me like a friend when love wore off
Looking for the lamb that's hidden in the cross
The finder's lost
I know I loved you too much
I'll go alone to get through
I hear Rosetta singing in the night
Echos of light that shines like stars after they're gone
And tonight she's my guide as I go on alone
With the music up above
I hear the music up above my head
Though the sight of my heart has left me again
I hear music up above
Secrets are written in the sky
Looks like I've lost the love I've never found
Though the sound of hope has left me again
I hear music up above
Standing in my broken heart all night long
Darkness held me like a friend when love wore off
Looking for the lamb that's hidden in the cross
The finder's lost
I know I loved you too much
I'll go alone to get through
I hear Rosetta singing in the night
Echos of light that shines like stars after they're gone
And tonight she's my guide as I go on alone
With the music up above

Polly Come Home
If the wild bird could speak
She'd tell of places you had been
She's been in my dreams
And she knows all the ways of the wind
[Chorus:]
Polly, come home again
Spread your wings to the wind
I felt much of the pain
As it begins
Dreams cover much time
Still they leave blind
The will to begin
I searched for you there
And now look for you from within
[Chorus]
She'd tell of places you had been
She's been in my dreams
And she knows all the ways of the wind
[Chorus:]
Polly, come home again
Spread your wings to the wind
I felt much of the pain
As it begins
Dreams cover much time
Still they leave blind
The will to begin
I searched for you there
And now look for you from within
[Chorus]

Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)
[ Featuring Robert Plant ]
Some sunny day-hay baby
When everything seems okay, baby
You'll wake up and find out you're alone
Cause I'll be gone
Gone, gone, gone really gone
Gone, ga-gone, cause you done me wrong
Everyone that you meet baby
As you walk down the street baby
Will ask you why you're walkin' all alone
Why you're on your own
Just say I'm gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, ga-gone, cause you done me wrong
If you change your way baby
You might get me to stay baby
Ya better hurry up if ya don't wanna be alone
Or I'll be gone
Gone, gone, gone
Really gone
Gone, ga-gone
Cause you done me wrong

Through The Morning Through The Night
Believe me when I tell you
I will try to understand
Belive me when I tell you
I could never kill a man
But to know that another man's holding you tight
Hurts me, little darling
Thru the morning thru the night
The bond has been broken
The promise you gave
The words that were spoken
I can not be your slave
But to know that the trust you had in me is gone
Hurts me, little darling
Thru the nightime thru the dawn
I dreamed just last night you were there by my side
Your sweet loving tenderness
Easing my pride
But then I awoke and found you not there
It was just my old memory of how much I care
Belive me when I tell you
I will try to understand
Belive me when I tell you
I could never kill a man
But to know that another man's holding you tight
Hurts me little, darling
Thru the morning thru the night
I will try to understand
Belive me when I tell you
I could never kill a man
But to know that another man's holding you tight
Hurts me, little darling
Thru the morning thru the night
The bond has been broken
The promise you gave
The words that were spoken
I can not be your slave
But to know that the trust you had in me is gone
Hurts me, little darling
Thru the nightime thru the dawn
I dreamed just last night you were there by my side
Your sweet loving tenderness
Easing my pride
But then I awoke and found you not there
It was just my old memory of how much I care
Belive me when I tell you
I will try to understand
Belive me when I tell you
I could never kill a man
But to know that another man's holding you tight
Hurts me little, darling
Thru the morning thru the night

Please Read The Letter
Caught out running
With just a little too much to hide
Maybe baby
Everything's gonna turn out fine
Please read the letter
I mailed it to your door
It's crazy how it all turned out
We needed so much more
Too late, too late
A fool could read the signs
Maybe baby
You'd better check between the lines
Please read the letter, I
Wrote it in my sleep
With help and consultation from
The angels of the deep
Once I stood beside a well of many words
My house was full of rings and
Charms and pretty birds
Please understand me, my
Walls come falling down
There's nothing here that's left for you
But check with lost and found
Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote
One more song just before we go
Remember baby
All the things
We used to know
Please read my letter
And promise you'll keep
The secrets and the memories and
Cherish in the deep
Ah...

Trampled Rose
Long way going to
Get my medicine
Sky's the autumn grey of a lonely wren
Piano from a window played
Gone tomorrow, gone yesterday
I found it in the street
At first I did not see
Lying at my feet
A trampled rose
Passing the hat in church
It never stops going around
You never pay just once
To get the job done
What I done to me,
I done to you
What happened to the trampled rose?
In the muddy street
With the fireworks and leaves
A blind man with a cup I asked
Would he sing 'Kisses Sweeter Than Wine'
I know that rose,
Like I know my name
The one I gave my love,
It was the same
Now I find it in the street,
A trampled rose
Get my medicine
Sky's the autumn grey of a lonely wren
Piano from a window played
Gone tomorrow, gone yesterday
I found it in the street
At first I did not see
Lying at my feet
A trampled rose
Passing the hat in church
It never stops going around
You never pay just once
To get the job done
What I done to me,
I done to you
What happened to the trampled rose?
In the muddy street
With the fireworks and leaves
A blind man with a cup I asked
Would he sing 'Kisses Sweeter Than Wine'
I know that rose,
Like I know my name
The one I gave my love,
It was the same
Now I find it in the street,
A trampled rose

Fortune Teller
Robert Plant, Alison Krauss
Went to the fortune teller
Had my fortune read
I didn't know what to tell her
I had a dizzy feeling in my head
Took a look in my palm
She said "Son, you feel kind of warm"
She looked into her crystal ball
She said "You're in love"
How could that be so?
Of all of the girls I know
She said "When the next one arrives,
you'll be looking into her eyes"
Left there in a hurry
Looking forward to my big surprise
The next thing I discover
That the fortune teller told me a lie
I hurried back down to that woman
As mad as I could be
I said "I didn't see nobody"
Why had she made a fool out of me?
Then something struck me
As if it came from up above
While looking at the fortune teller
I fell in love
Now I'm a happy feller
'Cause I'm married to the fortune teller
And I'm as happy as we can be
Now I get my fortune telling for free
Went to the fortune teller
Had my fortune read
I didn't know what to tell her
I had a dizzy feeling in my head
Took a look in my palm
She said "Son, you feel kind of warm"
She looked into her crystal ball
She said "You're in love"
How could that be so?
Of all of the girls I know
She said "When the next one arrives,
you'll be looking into her eyes"
Left there in a hurry
Looking forward to my big surprise
The next thing I discover
That the fortune teller told me a lie
I hurried back down to that woman
As mad as I could be
I said "I didn't see nobody"
Why had she made a fool out of me?
Then something struck me
As if it came from up above
While looking at the fortune teller
I fell in love
Now I'm a happy feller
'Cause I'm married to the fortune teller
And I'm as happy as we can be
Now I get my fortune telling for free

Stick With Me Baby
Everybody's been a-talkin'; they say our love wasn't real
That it would soon be over; that's not the way that I feel
But I don't worry, honey; let them say what they may
Come on and stick with me, baby; we'll find a way
Yes, we'll find a way
[Instrumental]
Everybody's been a-talkin'; yes, the news travels fast
They said the fire would stop burnin', that the flame wouldn't last
But I don't worry, honey; let them say what they may
Come on & stick with me, baby; we'll find a way
Yes, we'll find a way
[Repeat & fade:]
Come on and stick with me, baby
That it would soon be over; that's not the way that I feel
But I don't worry, honey; let them say what they may
Come on and stick with me, baby; we'll find a way
Yes, we'll find a way
[Instrumental]

Nothin
Hey mama, when you leave
Don't leave a thing behind
I don't want nothin'
I can't use nothin'
Take care into the hall
And if you see my friends
Tell them I'm fine
Not using nothin'
Almost burned out my eyes
Threw my ears down to the floor
I didn't see nothin'
I didn't hear nothin'
I stood there like a block of stone
Knowin' all I had to know
And nothin' more
Man, that's nothin'
As brothers our troubles are
Locked in each others arms
And you better pray
They never find you
Your back ain't strong enough
For burdens doublefold
They'd crush you down
Down into nothin'
Being born is going blind
And buying down a thousand times
To echoes strung
On pure temptation
Sorrow and solitude
These are the precious things
And the only words
That are worth rememberin'
Don't leave a thing behind
I don't want nothin'
I can't use nothin'
Take care into the hall
And if you see my friends
Tell them I'm fine
Not using nothin'
Almost burned out my eyes
Threw my ears down to the floor
I didn't see nothin'
I didn't hear nothin'
I stood there like a block of stone
Knowin' all I had to know
And nothin' more
Man, that's nothin'
As brothers our troubles are
Locked in each others arms
And you better pray
They never find you
Your back ain't strong enough
For burdens doublefold
They'd crush you down
Down into nothin'
Being born is going blind
And buying down a thousand times
To echoes strung
On pure temptation
Sorrow and solitude
These are the precious things
And the only words
That are worth rememberin'

Let Your Loss Be Your Lesson
(Milt Campbell)
Once I had myself a good woman
But I just didn't treat her right
I was always leaving
Livin' a party life
True love was waiting for me
I was much too blind to see
Till she told me she would leave me
I said that's all right with me
Oh now she's gone
Realize I lost the best thing there is
And my pride keeps telling me
Let your loss be your lesson
Heaven knows I miss her lovin'
Heaven knows how much I cry
Just to think she had left me
And I know the reason why
I could tell she had been cryin'
It didn't seem to bother me
Cause I know there's no one blinder
Than a fool who just couldn't see
Now she's gone
I realize I lost the best thing there is
And my pride keeps tellin' me
Let your loss be your lesson
Once I had myself a good woman
But I just didn't treat her right
I was always leaving
Livin' a party life
True love was waiting for me
I was much too blind to see
Till she told me she would leave me
I said that's all right with me
Oh now she's gone
Realize I lost the best thing there is
And my pride keeps telling me
Let your loss be your lesson
Heaven knows I miss her lovin'
Heaven knows how much I cry
Just to think she had left me
And I know the reason why
I could tell she had been cryin'
It didn't seem to bother me
Cause I know there's no one blinder
Than a fool who just couldn't see
Now she's gone
I realize I lost the best thing there is
And my pride keeps tellin' me
Let your loss be your lesson

Your Long Journey
God's given us years of happiness here
Now we must part
And as the angels come and call for you
The pains of grief tug at my heart
Oh my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey
Oh the days will be empty
The nights so long without you my love
And when god calls for you I'm left alone
But we will meet in heaven above
Oh my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey
Fond memories I'll keep of happy ways
That on earth we trod
And when I come we will walk hand in hand
As one in heaven in the family of god
Oh my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey
Now we must part
And as the angels come and call for you
The pains of grief tug at my heart
Oh my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey
Oh the days will be empty
The nights so long without you my love
And when god calls for you I'm left alone
But we will meet in heaven above
Oh my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey
Fond memories I'll keep of happy ways
That on earth we trod
And when I come we will walk hand in hand
As one in heaven in the family of god
Oh my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey
