Without a song the day would never end
without a song the road would never bend
when things go wrong a man ain't got a friend
without a song
That field of corn would never see a plow
that field of corn would be deserted now
a man is born but he's no good no how
without a song
i got my trouble and woe but, sure as i know, the jordan will roll
and i'll get along as long as a song, strong in my soul
I'll never know what makes the rain to fall
i'll never know what makes that grass so tall
i only know there ain't no love at all
without a song

I've-a got my trouble and woe and, sure as i know, the jordan will roll
and i'll get along as long as a song, strong in my soul

i'll-a never know what makes that rain to fall
i'll never know what makes the grass so tall
i only know there ain't no love at all
without a song
