Did I tell you that I love you
Did I say it all the time
Did I look into your eyes
And tell you one more time

You’re now gone and it’s too late
To whisper in your ear
To tell you face to face
To say it loud and clear

Did I tell you that I loved you
With all my soul and heart
From the moment that I saw you
I loved you from the start

Did I tell you that I loved you
Did I say it all the time
Did I look into your eyes
And tell you one more time

I cannot recall the last time
Was it on the winter or the fall
It hurts so very much I hate it
That I cannot remember it at all

I’m trying hard you see
To make you proud of me
But when you went away
You took away my heart

Did I tell you that I loved you
With all my soul and heart
From the moment that I saw you
I loved you from the start

Did I tell you that I loved you
Did I say it all the time
Did I look into your eyes
And tell you one last time

Did I? Did I? Did I?

From across the room I saw you
Like what I saw so I walked over
Blue eyes—black hair—that’s so rare
So, so nice so I walked on over

Said, “I’ll play you; winner gets a dollar
Although it’s your table I wanna break”
So I racked `em, broke `em—it sounded like thunder
I gave you a wind, then I sank the eight

I sank the eight on a break and I won your heart
Baby, baby, baby…here we are
Twenty-two years later and what a pair we make
Just because I sank the eight on a break

You said, “Darlin’, any gal that can sink an eight
Is getting’ more from me than a dollar
How `bout a dance, `cause it is gettin’ late
Then on the way home we’ll plan for tomorrow”

That was twenty-two years ago today
I wond your heart when I sank the eight
The first time you kissed me, it shook me like thunder
Baby, look at the pair we do make

The Carolina moon lights up the dark
Urging young lovers to walk in the park
The Carolina moon causes one to spoon
To dance in the throes of a lovely tune

Carolina moon shinning down on the mountains
Turning nighttime into daytime, lighting the way
Fairies playing through the tree canopy
And then whispering in sweet syncope

The Carolina moon reflecting off the ocean waves
Causing sand crabs to run and scurry away
The Carolina moon in nature’s eastern pride
Giving sailors light far into the night

Play a banjo tune about the Carolina moon
Lovers dancing in the full moon’s glow
Tides come; tides go; the moon pulls them to and fro
The Carolina moon shines down on the sandy dunes

The Carolina moon
Changing night into day
The Carolina moon

There’s a thing that will defeat you
No matter how hard you fight
It is silent and it will defeat you
It is not a weapon it is just called, “doubt”

Doubt is a kinsman to the devil
No matter how strong the sword, do not doubt
The mind is a worthy adversary certainly
And it will defeat you, be assured, my good fellows

Doubt that you can do it and you will be right
Believe with all your might and you’ll win the fight
Like the Little Engine That Could, dig your heels in and give it your all
Be glad that you tackled the thing that couldn’t be and you did it

For everything there is a season but never one for doubt
When you give it your all you win ever when you are defeated
You look in the mirror and smile feeling oh, so proud
“Next time,” you say, “I’ll try even harder I will win that bout

Do the very best that you can do no matter the task
Self-respect you will earn, and in stone it will be cast
It’s not how many times you fall—only how many times you rise
Do the very best that you can do—no matter how hard the task

There’s a think that will defeat you
No matter how hard you fight
It is silent and it will defeat you
It is not a weapon, it is called, “doubt

If you had the chance would you be 17 again
Would you do your life over
All over again
If you had the chance

What if you could be 17 again
And know what you know now
What changes in your life would you make
Do you think it would make a difference

If you had to change it all
The good as well as the bad
Did you cause pain and sorrow
Were you mean or destructive to yourself or others

Did you step on someone on the way up
To gain wealth or stature

Life is not a do over
Nor is it a dress rehearsal
The Ten Commandments are the guide
But the choice is up to you and I

You have to make the choice
If you had the chance
Would you be 17 again
Would you do your life all over again

Would you
Would you
Would you

Rocka my soul
Rocka my soul
Rocka my soul
Oh oh oh oh

Snow’s so cold
So very cold
Rocka my soul

My box ain’t waterproof
Ain’t got a heater either
Rocka my soul
Rocka my soul

Had some lunch today
Man threw an apple core away
Rocka my soul
Rocka my soul

Doggie in a purse
With a diamond collar
Rocka my soul
Rocka my soul

Ben a POW
At least had bread and water
Rocka my soul
Rocka my soul

Fell asleep in a pew
Got tossed out its true
Rocka my soul
Rocka my soul

I got a family
But they don’t got me
Rocka my soul
Rocka my soul

You don’t see me
As you pass by
Rocka my soul
Rocka my soul

Brother can you spare a dime
Remember that line
Rocka my soul
Rocka my soul

I had finished my 3 day gig
On my way out of Boston
I stopped for a bite to eat

The waitress brought the menu over
And I ordered BBQ and tea-sweet
She brought out my BBQ

I looked at it and said
You brought me the wrong order
Snippily she said, “This is BBQ

I slid the plate across the table
Didn’t look like BBQ to me
I told her, “fine-just bring me my tea”

She came out with a pot and a cup and saucer
Started pourin’ something green in that cup
I said, “what is that?” she said, “house blend green tea with mint”

I slid that next to the plate
Told her, “Lady, go find a big glass fill with ice and tea—sweet”
Her face got real puffed up and red

She place a hand on the table
Leaned in real close and said,
“It’s ten degrees outside you Georgia Cracker

We don’t serve ice tea in the winter
And you think you’re gonna stiff me for that
Think again

I slid out of the both
Pulled out my gig pay
Peeled back 100’s, 50’s, 20’s
Found a ten, picked up the tab
Gave them both to her
And said, “Keep the change, Little Darlin’, Keep the Change

Put on my cowboy hat
Walked to my truck
Pointed it south

Laughed and sang, “Keep the change, keep the change, Little Darlin’”
All the way to Nashville
The tab was nine dollars and ninety cents

She walks all through the night
Through the moonlit valley
Calling for her lost groom
Singing her wedding tune

Cimarron oh Cimarron
This is the start of our life
Cimarron oh Cimarron
Today I shall be your wife

She walks the hacienda grounds
Now still in her wedding gown
So stained, tattered, and torn
Like her beauty, now time worn

Cimarron oh Cimarron
This is the start of our life
Cimarron oh Cimarron
Today I shall be your wife

Her groom never made it to the alter
His horse and saddle found on a mesa
She went crazy and went so mad
A tale now told, so very sad

Cimarron oh Cimarron
This is the start of our life
Cimarron oh Cimarron
Today I shall be your wife

A love that’s unexplainable
A love of a different kind
A love trapped in a mad dimension
A love locked within a mind

Cimarron oh Cimarron
This is the start of our life
Cimarron oh Cimarron
Today I shall be your wife

When did I stop lovin’ you
Was it in the summer time
Or was it in the winter
When did I stop lovin’ you

I stand and look at your picture
I try so very hard to remember
My love, I believe, just faded away
I think it was in December

Over time unrequited love fades
Then it’s always lost in time and space
Oh, it took years for this to take place
I realize I stopped loving you yesterday

Everything I had to give, I gave to you
I will love again, I know that I will, later
Perhaps not today but maybe tomorrow
Because I am not bitter. I’m not bitter.

The ending of love should not breed hat
Old lovers always reach that shore
Where they just don’t give a damn anymore
It’s the ultimate ending called indifference

There’s thunder in the hills
Streaks of lightening `cross the sky
It’s time to move the teepees
Time to move down in the valley

Winter is coming long cold nights
Berry picking was such a delight
But now follow the buffalo herd
The tribe must go down to valley

Bears buffalo deer moose and elk
Tracking of the game now easier
Use the hide hoofs meat and pelts
No trophy taking by those lovers of the land

Winter time is harsh some will die
Their spirits linger in the sky
Native peoples living off the land
Follow the buffalo to lower grounds

Follow the buffalo
Follow the buffalo
Winter is coming
Snow will be falling
