My Destiny is Known
Some mountains are young,
Some mountains are old,
Should we listen to what our hearts are told,
I would like to take you along with me,
If I had to, get on my bended knee.
Chorus: And, my destiny is known(repeat)
Take you to the Cumberland Plateau,
Golden leaves of Fall and a heavy snow,
build you a cabin with my hand,
Our true will will make it stand
Chorus
Two same hearts from different years,
Shouldn't fill everyone with mortal fears,
It's their problem not me and you,
We won't bend like they want us too.
Chorus
You on my arm, hand in hand
The world could not harm this man,
Lightnin' strikes and thunder falls,
Your heart builds a solid wall.
Chorus.

Conquer the World with You
Wake up my little sweetheart,
You are the one I adore,
We got so many things to do,
I wanna conquer this world with you.
We'll head out across this land,
Will always hold you close,
So many things for us to see.
Will you conquer the world with me.
You are the train on the track,
I am the steam from the coal,
We are an unstoppable force,
Gonna conquer the world of course.
Love to see all that you dream,
You will always inspire me,
Along with our same wants too,
I wanna conquer the world with you.

Old River
Hey Old River,
Keep on flowing,
Keep on flowing away from me,
Hey old river,
Carry my burdens to the sea.
No one tells you what to do,
No one tells you which way to go,
No one tells you how to be,
Might slow down but you're gonna flow.
Chorus: Keep on moving,
Keep on moving real slow,
Keep on moving,
And peacefully you roll.
I love your winding sloughs,
You wash away my blues,
On your calming banks I will sit,
And cast one more line away from it.
Chorus
You carry such a heavy weight,
And Take care of this land,
Everyone wants to damn you up,
Make waterfront property my friend.
Chorus
Hey old river,
Keep on flowing,
Keep on flowing away from me,
Hey old river,
Carry my burdens to the sea.

Take Your Money to Your Grave
Take your money to your grave,
It's what we all do,
You could do some good Earth,
Before you die.
Take your money to your grave.
The top two percent that own it all,
Could give nighty-eight percent and break the fall,
Don't you want us all,
To live a better life,
Take your money to your grave
Ship your money over seas,
Cut our country at the knees,
Cheap foreign goods,
Toys with lead for babies,
Take your money to your grave.
Kill big game in other countries,
Your politics not based in reality,
Make sure to pamper your spoiled wife,
Take your money to your grave.
Take your money to your grave (REPEAT)

Winter Warn
Rain, and wind, sleet all of October,
and the snow is creeping on down the hill,
The Aspens are giving us fair warning,
Better leave if you don't have the will.
Chorus: It'll be a long, long cold Winter my darling,
And, I am glad you will be there.
The sun is getting lower over town,
The snow piles up at 3 in the morn,
While no one is out and around,
Getting colder, you have been warned.
Chorus
Dark cold of the high mountains,
And the warm air of the sea,
Won't you be patient through the cold,
Wait out the snowy months with me.
Chorus
Gonna be a several long cold Winter months,
Lord please don't let me go down on this one,
Glad I have you my good darlin',
We will hold out for the warming sun.
Chorus

Nice to See All the Colors Now
How Blue, how Blue,
The sky is, but makes me feel so good,
How Blue, how Blue,
You will be, always thinking you are misunderstood.
How Green, how Green,
The trees are, standing so proud and high,
How Green, how Green,
All the cash you spent to get by.
How Yellow, how Yellow,
the sun is and is good to see,
How Yellow, how Yellow,
You are and never stood for anything.
Chorus: Nice to see all the colors now, and all that is true,
Nice to see all the colors now, and never having to see you.
How Red, how Red,
The sun is, when it goes deep over that hill,
How Red, how Red,
Your soul will be, when you are burning down deep in hell.
How Black, how Black,
The night can be with sweet silence,
How Black, how Black,
Your will is and I will never look back.
How White, how White,
The stars are in that same old Black sky,
How White, how White,
The future is, without all your lies.
Chorus

John Henry
(Traditional)
When John Henry was a little baby,
Just a sittn' on his mammy's knee,
Said, "The Big Bend Tunnel on that C&O Road
Gonna be the death of me, Lord God
Going to be the death of me."
Well John Henry said to the Captain,
I'm gonna take a little trip downtown
Get me a thirty pound hammer with that nine foot handle
I'll beat your steam drill down, Lord God
I'll beat your steam drill down.
Well John Henry hammered on that mountain
Till his hammer was striking fire
And the very last words that I heard that boy say was
Cool drink of water 'for I die, Lord God
Cool drink of water 'for I die.
Well they carried him down to the graveyard
And they buried him in the sand
And every locomotive came a roarin' on by
They cried out, "There lies a steel drivin' man, Lord God
There lies a steel drivin' man."
Well there's some say he came from Texas
There's some say he came from Maine
Well I don't give a damn where that poor boy was from
You know that, he was a steel drivin' man, Lord God
John Henry was a steel drivin' man.
Well when John Henry was a little baby,
Just a sittn' on his mammy's knee,
Said, "The Big Bend Tunnel on that C&O Road
Gonna be the death of me, Lord God
Going to be the death of me."

Lone Buffalo
Got a locomotive tied to my feet,
Rivers to my arms,
The North star is ahead,
And it's tearing me apart.
Chorus: And it's ripping me apart, And it's ripping me apart... again
Standing in a Western grassland,
Like the lone Buffalo,
Standing all alone,
Hunted till nothing matters no more.
Chorus
Unmovable like a mountain,
But I still can be broke down,
You hold the dynamite,
That could bring me to the ground.
Chorus
You never was my gal,
You never was my friend,
Backbone of a snake,
Coiled and ready to strike again.
Chorus

My Morning Cup of Coffee
You are my morning cup of coffee,
You easily wake up me,
Don't know how to compare you,
A sunset falling in a sea
Chorus: It's allright darling, it's allright
You are my morning cup of coffee,
Everything in it's own time,
Leave the rose by the door,
And I'll bring in the wine.
Chorus
You are my morning cup of coffee,
Wake me up next to you,
Roll outta bed in the morning,
Sun bouncing of the dew.
Chorus
You are my morning cup of coffee,
I will take you plain,
Still naturally good lookin',
Pick me after two days in the rain.
Chorus

Hey old river,
Carry my burdens to the sea.
