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 plough
That field of corn, would be deserted now
A young one's born, but he's no good no how
Without a song!
I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as i know
The jordan will roll ( roll you river jordan! )

I'll get along as long as a song is strung
In my soul!
I'll never know what makes the 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!

I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as i know the jordan will roll,
I'll get along as long as a song is strung in my soul!
In my soul!
I'll never know what makes the 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!
