If I Had The World To Give

If I had the world to give, I'd give it to you Long as you live, would you let it fall, or hold it all in your arms?
If I had a song to sing, I'd sing it to you as long as you live, lullaby or maybe a plain serenade wouldn't you laugh, dance, and cry or be afraid at the change you made
I may not have the world to give to you But maybe I have a tune or two Only if you let me be your world Could I ever give this world to you
But I will give what love I have to give, I will give what love I have to give, I will give what love I have to give, long as I live.
If I had a star to give, I'd give it to you long as you live, would you have the time to watch it shine, watch it shine or ask for the moon and heaven too? I'd give it to you.
Well maybe I've got no star to spare, or anything fine or even rare, only if you let me be your world, could I ever give this world to you. could I ever give this world to you.

Black Muddy River
When the last rose of summer pricks my finger, And the hot sun chills me to the bone, When I can't hear the song for the singer, And I can't tell my pillow from a stone, I will walk alone by the black muddy river, And sing me a song of my own, I will walk alone by the black muddy river, And sing me a song of my own.
When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain, And the stars start to splatter in the sky, When the moon hits the southwest horizon, With the scream of an eagle on the fly, I will walk alone by the black muddy river, And listen to the ripples as they moan, I will walk alone by the black muddy river, And sing me a song of my own.
Black muddy river, roll on forever, I don't care how deep or wide, if you've got another side, Roll muddy river, roll muddy river, black muddy river, roll.
When it seems like the night will last forever, And there's nothing left to do but count the years, When the strings of my heart begin to sever, And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears, I will walk alone, by the black muddy river, And dream me a dream of my own, I will walk alone, by the black muddy river, And sing me a song of my own, sing me a song of my own.

Annie layed her head down in the roses She had ribbons, ribbons, ribbons in her long brown hair I don't know, it must have been the roses All I know is I could not leave her there
I don't know, it must have been the roses The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair I don't know maybe it was the roses All I know was I could not leave her there
Ten years the waves rolled the ships home from the sea Thinking well how it may blow in all good company if I tell another what your own lips told to me may I lay neath the roses and my eyes no longer see
I don't know, it must have been the roses The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair I don't know maybe it was the roses All I know was I could not leave her there
One pane of glass in the window No one is complaining though, come in and shut the door Faded is the crimson from the ribbons that she wore and it's strange how no one comes round anymore
I don't know, it must have been the roses The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair I don't know maybe it was the roses All I know was I could not leave her there

Here I'll do it for you:
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
On the day when I was born Daddy sat down and cried. I had the mark just as plain as day; which could not be denied. They say that Cain caught Abel rollin' loaded dice; Ace of Spades behind his ear and him not thinkin' twice.
Halfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye Half a cup of Rock and Rye. Farewell to you old Southern skies I'm on my way, on my way.
If all you got to live for is what you left behind, Get yourself a powder charge and seal that silver mine. Lost my boots in transit, baby, pile of smokin' leather. I nailed a retread to my feet and prayed for better weather.
Halfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye Half a cup of Rock and Rye. Farewell to you old Southern skies I'm on my way, on my way.
They say that when your ship comes in, the first man takes the sails; What's the point of callin' shots; this cue ain't straight in line. Cue ball's made of styrofoam and no one's got the time.
Halfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye Half a cup of Rock and Rye. Farewell to you old Southern skies I'm on my way, on my way.
Across the Rio Grandeeo, Across the lazy river.
