Songs Of The Kingwood Kowboy

Dayspring Valley Singer (Larry W Jones 09/26/2019) (song #7611)

As I strolled through the dayspring valley

I could hear a song unfoldin’

It felt as though the dayspring valley

Prepared my heart for a-mouldin’

I heard the tune of a violin

I heard one songbird a-singin’

But none could rival the softest sound

Of some dear one’s voice a-ringin’

It lined the trees and it lined the sky

Oh, it lined the dayspring valley

I never saw what filled me with awe

The song singer close around me

Though sounding distant, the words were plain

For my heart could feel their sorrow

I felt their sadness, I felt their pain

Grief, the dayspring valley borrowed

I heard the tune of a violin

I heard one songbird a-singin’

But none could rival the softest sound

Of some dear one’s voice a-ringin’

I still stroll through the dayspring valley

Though in vain, there long I linger

My despondent heart searches gladly

For the dayspring valley singer

I heard the tune of a violin

I heard one songbird a-singin’

But none could rival the softest sound

Of some dear one’s voice a-ringin’

I still stroll through the dayspring valley

Though in vain, there long I linger

My despondent heart searches gladly

For the dayspring valley singer

I’ve Grown Up With A Pain In My Heart (Larry W Jones 09/25/2019) (song #7610)

I can’t lie as these bitter tears

All fall down like a broken dam

They started with me back some years

When this pain in my heart began

I was born with sounds loud and long

Quarrels and fighting from the start

And in my mind I hear them strong

I’ve grown up with pain in my heart

(Instrumental)

Now that I’m grown I look at me

And when I look I only see

Two broken hearts that played a part

For what it’s worth the birth of me

Thanks Ma and Pa for what you’ve done

I’m just the raisin’ as your son

Thank you for my creation’s start

I’ve grown up with pain in my heart

Thank you for my creation’s start

I’ve grown up with pain in my heart

My Strongest Moments (Larry W Jones 09/25/2019) (song #7609)

I tried to say goodbye, I tried to say we’re through

You just want my money cause that’s enough it’s true

Oh, I tried to be strong but I know it’s no use

My strongest moments are my weakest links for you

Now, in my strongest moments I want someone new

But your kiss is bliss and there’s nothing I can do

So dear, I just give in the way it’s always been

My strongest moments are my weakest links for you

(Instrumental)

One day it might be over and I’ll be alright

I’ll just close my mind and then you’ll be out of sight

But then I think again just when I’m on the brink

My strongest moments are my weakest links for you

I tried to say goodbye, I tried to say we’re through

You just want my money cause that’s enough it’s true

Oh, I tried to be strong but I know it’s no use

My strongest moments are my weakest links for you

Oh, I tried to be strong but I know it’s no use

My strongest moments are my weakest links for you

This Heart Of Mine (Larry W. Jones 08/21/2006) (song#4002)

This heart of mine will never mend

Until I find true love, and then

It will take some time, I know that it’s true

For this heart of mine to get over you

Our love was a song that I thought would never end

But something went wrong that I can’t comprehend

I gave you my heart and my everything

You tore it apart and broke every string

This heart of mine will never mend

Until I find true love, and then

It will take some time, I know that it’s true

For this heart of mine to get over you

I sit here alone with my memories

Thinking of you as free as the breeze

This heart of mine cries but nobody hears

And here in my eyes are nothing but tears

This heart of mine will never mend

Until I find true love, and then

It will take some time, I know that it’s true

For this heart of mine to get over you

The Blue Moon Of Kentucky Is Gold (Larry W Jones 09/17/2019) (song #7602)

Now, Kentucky moons have come and gone

But all those moons ain’t as have been told

Folks, don’t pay attention to that song

The blue moon of Kentucky is gold

So now folks, take off your blue blindfold

And what’s more, it ain’t made of swiss cheese

That old blue Kentucky moon is gold

And folks, if you go there you will freeze

(Instrumental)

Now, that Kentucky blue grass ain’t blue

Blue moons of Kentucky ain’t blue too

How confused can you get in your mind

When you’re blue on Kentucky moonshine

Those Kentucky moons ain’t blue, they’re gold

Kentucky blue grass ain’t blue, it’s green

So, don’t pay attention to what’s told

Grass is green and moons have a gold sheen

(Instrumental)

Well now folks, it’s high time to come clean

Don’t get caught up in that old song mold

Kentucky blue grass is really green

And old blue Kentucky moons are gold

The blue moon of Kentucky is gold

Mighty Mount Rainier (Larry W Jones 09/25/2019) (song #7605)

We drove out from Seattle with the weather clear

Four of us set to climb the mighty Mount Rainier

Bob from Montana and Bill from Indiana

Myself and Joe with all our trusty climbing gear

Rainier, Mount Rainier

Mountaineers have climbed and some died in awful fear

Mighty Mount Rainier

While on Emmons Glacier strong winds began to blow

Sight was lost in the snow of Bob and Bill and Joe

I was alone and the outlook was mighty bleak

But I was a mountaineer mighty near the peak

Rainier, Mount Rainier

Mountaineers have climbed and some died in awful fear

Mighty Mount Rainier

(Instrumental)

Now here I am on the summit of Mount Rainier

I’ll die on this summit even with trusty gear

Folks in Seattle will wonder if I’ll get down

But I fear there’s no time for rescue comin’ round

Rainier, Mount Rainier

Mountaineers have climbed and some died in awful fear

Mighty Mount Rainier

Rainier, Mount Rainier

Mountaineers have climbed and some died in awful fear

I’ll die on this summit of mighty Mount Rainier

Texas On My Mind (Larry W Jones 09/28/2019) (song #7626)

Well, I’m packin’ my bags with Texas tags

Gonna fly to where they fly Texas flags

There I’ll spend some time on hill country wine

All will know I’ve got Texas on my mind

I’ve got some high and low friends in Austin

And none of them sound like they’re from Boston

I speak Texan and know my accent’s fine

I’ll consent I’ve got Texas on my mind

(Instrumental)

Give me bluebonnets and warm spring weather

Ain’t no harm smellin’ old saddle leather

Think of all the stars as the lone star kind

Yeah, so far I’ve got Texas on my mind

Well, I’m packin’ my bags with Texas tags

Gonna live where they give big Texas brags

Got a pinin’ for findin’ what’s behind

I ain’t blind, I’ve got Texas on my mind

(The eyes of Texas are upon me)

Yeah, I’ve got Texas on my Mind

Mae Is As Cold As November (Larry W Jones 09/25/2019) (song #7608)

Mae is as cold as November

Mae is as cold as November

Here comes lovely Mae, girl all guys adore

When she smiles she sweeps them all off the floor

Each guy she passes by puts on a show

But there’s one thing all of them just don’t know

Mae is as cold as November

Her heart is like a cold ember

One love said no, she remembers

Mae is as cold as November

(Instrumental)

Here comes lonely Mae, saddest girl in town

And she won’t let the good guys gather round

Like a diadem she looks like a gem

Oh, but Mae has no heart to offer them

Mae is as cold as November

Her heart is like a cold ember

One love said no, she remembers

Mae is as cold as November

One love said no, she remembers

Mae is as cold as November

I Rode Away To Stay Alive (Larry W Jones 09/18/2019) (song #7603)

I was ridin’ down the trail from San Antony

When I met a cowgirl who was skin and bony

I said, you’re the purdiest girl I’ve seen alive

And that’s when she drew her forty-five

So, I rode away to stay alive

I was ridin’ down the trail from San Antony

When I met a cowgirl who was not so bony

I said, you’re the purdiest girl I’ve seen a-spell

And that’s when she said, git or I’ll yell

So, I rode away from that fine belle

(Instrumental)

I was ridin’ down the trail from San Antony

When I met a cowgirl on a little pony

I said, girl you look like the apple of my eye

She said, cowboy you’re about to die

So, I rode away and said bye bye

I was ridin’ down the trail from San Antony

When I met a cowgirl who appeared quite homey

I said, girl my fences need mended

She said, I know how cows are tended

So, we rode away with hearts blended

Now she’s got all my fences mended

And she’s got all of my cows tended

And now this song is ended, Yee Ha!

Hurricane Jones (Larry W Jones 09/12/2019) (song #7601)

Well, my own Daddy’s name was Ivy

But he was known as Hurricane Jones

Yes, he was kin to the wayward wind

Mama saw that was the way with him

He was born in Louisiana

And my dear Mama was born there too

Now, I was born in Port Arthur

Right in the middle of World War Two

Hurricane Jones was my Daddy’s name

Maybe the wayward wind was to blame

Hurricane Jones didn’t leave no stones

His life rolled on as Hurricane Jones

(Instrumental)

My Mama raised us kids in Texas

While Daddy worked anywhere he could

Well digger or on a garbage truck

And Gladstell sawmill where he stacked wood

When I saw my Mama’s hungry eyes

And her tired fingers worked to the bone

That’s when I wondered where Daddy was

Just like a hurricane he was gone

Hurricane Jones was my Daddy’s name

Maybe the wayward wind was to blame

Hurricane Jones didn’t leave no stones

His life rolled on as Hurricane Jones

Hurricane Jones didn’t leave no stones

His life rolled on as Hurricane Jones
