All The Good Times Are Past And Gone
Fred and Gertrude Gossett (1930) - [3/4 time]
The Song: Songs of misery and suffering first became popular around 1850 in the U.S. This song was
made popular in 1937 by the Monroe Brothers (Bill Monroe). It has become a folk and bluegrass mainstay
recorded by The Kingston Trio, David Grisman, Jimmy Martin, Ralph Stanley, Red Allen, Norman Blake,
and many others. Lyrics vary.
[1] See that east bound [4] passenger [1] train
Coming around the [57] bend
[1] It's taking away my [4] own true [1] love
To never [57] return [1] again
Chorus
[1] All the good time are [4] past and [1] gone
All the good times are [57] o'er
[1] All the good times have [4] past and [1] gone
Little darling don't [57] you weep no [1] more
I wish dear Lord I'd [4] never been [1] born
Or died when I was [57] young
[1] I never would've seen [4] those two brown [1] eyes
Or heard [57] your lying [1] tongue
Chorus
[1] See that lonesome [4] turtle [1] dove
Flying from pine to [57] pine
[1] He's mourning for his [4] own true [1] love
Just like I [57] mourn for [1] mine
Chorus
Come back, come back my own true love
And stay a while with me
If ever I’ve had a friend in this world
You’ve been a friend to me

Banks of the Ohio
Traditional
[1C] I asked my love to take a [5G] walk
Just a little ways with [1C] me
And as we walked and we would [4F] talk
All [1C] about our [5G] wedding [1C] day
Chorus
[1C] Darling say that you'll be [5G] mine
In our home we'll happy [1C] be
Down beside where the waters [4F] flow
On the [1C] banks of the [5G] Ohio [1C]
[1C] I took her by her pretty white [5G] hand
I led her down that bank of [1C] sand
I pushed her in where she would [4F] drown
Lord, I [1C] saw her as she [5G] floated [1C] down
Chorus
[1C] Returning home about twelve or [5G] one
Thinking "Lord, what a deed I've [1C] done?"
I killed the girl I love, you [4F] see
Because she [1C] would not [5G] marry [1C] me
Chorus
[1C] Darling say that you'll be [5G] mine
In our home we'll happy [1C] be
Down beside where the waters [4F] flow
On the [1C] banks of the [5G] Ohio [1C]
[1C] The very next day at half past [5G] four
The sheriff walked right to my [1C] door
And he says "Young man, don't you try to [4F] run
You'll pay for this [1C] awful [5G] crime you've [1C] done"

Blue Ridge Cabin Home
Flatt and Scruggs, under the names Certain and Stacey
[1] There's a well beaten path on this [4] old mountain side
Where I [5] wandered when I was a [1] lad
And I wandered alone to the [4] place I call home
In the [5] Blue Ridge Hills far [1] away
Chorus:
[1] Oh, I love those hills old [4] Virginia
From those [5] Blue Ridge Hills I did [1] roam
When I die won't you bury me on the [4] mountain
Far [5] away in my Blue Ridge mountain [1] home
[1] Now my thoughts wander back to the [4] ramshackle shack
In those [5] Blue Ridge Hills far [1] away
My mother and dad were [4] laid there to rest
They’re [5] sleeping in peace together [1] there
Chorus:
[1] I return to that old mountain [4] home with a sigh
I've been [5] longing for days gone [1] by
When I die won't you bury me on that [4] old mountain side
Make my [5] resting place upon the hills so [1] high
Chorus:

Footprints in the Snow
Harry Wright - about 1880 – Mistakenly attributed to Bill Monroe
(http://bluegrasstoday.com/footprints-in-the-snow/)
[1C] Some folks like the summertime when they can walk [4F] about
[5G] Strolling through the meadow green, it’s pleasant there’s no [1C] doubt
But give me the wintertime when the snow is on the [4F] ground
I [5G] found her when the snow was on the [1C] ground.
Chorus: [1C] I traced her little footprints in the [5G] snow
I found her little footprints in the [1C] snow
Lord, bless that happy day when my Nellie lost her [4F] way
I [5G] found her when the snow was on the [1C] ground.
[1] I went up to see her, there was a big round [4] moon
Her [5] mother said she’d just stepped out, but would be returning [1] soon.
I found her little footprints and I traced them in the [4] snow
I [5G] found her when the snow was on the [1C] ground.
Chorus
[1] Now she's up in heaven she's with the angel [4] band
I [5] know I'm going to meet her in that promised [1] land
But every time the snow falls it brings back [4] memories
I [5G] found her when the snow was on the [1C] ground.

Traditional
[1] You ought to see my [4] Cindy, she [1] lives away down [57] south
[1] She's so sweet that [4] honeybees [1] swarm [57] about her [1] mouth.
Chorus – sung after each verse
[1] Get along [4] home, Cindy Cindy, get along [1] home.
Get along [4] home, Cindy Cindy, I'll [1] marry [57] you some [1] day.
[1] Cindy in the [4] summertime, [1] Cindy in the [57] fall
If [1] I can't have Cindy [4] all the time, [1] have no [57] one at [1] all.
[1] Cindy is a [4] pretty girl, [1] Cindy is a [57] peach;
[1] Threw her arms [4] around my neck, [1] hung on [57] like a [1] leach.
Cindy got religion, tell you what she done:
Walked up to the minister, chawed her chewin' gum.
Cindy got religion, she had it once before
When she heered my old banjo, she's the first one on the floor.
Cindy got religion, she really went to town;
Got so full of glory, Lord, shook her stockin's down.
If I had a pretty gal, I'd put her on a shelf;
Ev'ry time she smiled at me, I'd jump right up myself.
Cindy had one blue eye, she also had one brown
One eye looked in the country, the other one looked in town
Wish I was an apple, hangin on a tree
An' every time my Cindy passed, she'd take a bite o' me
Wish I had a needle and thread, wish that I could sew
I'd sew that gal to my coat tails, and down the road we'd go

We always wear a great big smile, we never do look sour.
Travel all over the country, playing music by the hour.
Chorus - [1] Take Me back to Tulsa, I'm too young to [57] marry;
Take me back to Tulsa, I'm too young to [1] wed thee.

The Storms Are On The Ocean
Carter Family
I'm [1] going a [4] way to [1] leave you, love
I'm going a [57] way for a [1] while
But I'll re [4] turn to [1] you sometime
If I go ten [57] thousand [1] miles
Chorus - The [4] storms are on the [1] ocean
And the heavens may [57] cease to [1] be
This [4] world may lose its [1] motion, love
If I prove [57] false to [1] thee
Oh [1] who will [4] dress your [1] pretty little feet
And who will [57] glove your [1] hands
And who will [4] kiss your [1] rosy cheek
When I'm in a [57] faraway [1] land
Chorus
Oh [1] Poppa will [4] dress my [1] pretty little feet
And Momma will [57] glove my [1] hand [4]
And [1] you will [4] kiss my [1] rosy red cheek
When you re [57] turn a [1] gain
Chorus
Oh [1] have you [4] seen those [1] mournful doves
Flying from [57] pine to [1] pine [4]
[1] Mourning [4] for their [1] own true love
Just like I [57] mourn for [1] mine
Chorus - The [4] storms are on the [1] ocean
And the heavens may [57] cease to [1] be
This [4] world may lose its [1] motion, love
If I prove [57] false to [1] thee

Walls of Time
Peter Rowan and Bill Monroe
[1G] The wind is blowing cross the mountains
And out on the valley way [4C] below. [7F] [4C]
It [1G] sweeps the grave of my darling
When I [4C] die that's where I [5D] want to [1G] go.
Chorus - [1G] Lord send the angels for my darling
And take her to that home on [4C] high [7F] [4C]
I'll [1G] wait my time out here on earth love
And [4C] come to [5D] you when I [1G] die.
[1G] I hear a voice out in the darkness
It moans and whispers through the [4C] pines [7F] [4C]
I [1G] know it's my sweetheart a calling
I [4C] hear her [5D] through the walls of [1G] time.
Chorus
[1G] Our names are carved upon the tombstone
I promised you before you [4C] died [7F] [4C]
Our [1G] love will bloom forever darling
[4C] When we [5D] rest side by [1G] side.
Chorus

We Live in Two Different Worlds
Fred Rose
Chorus: [1] We live in two different [4] worlds, dear
[1] That’s why we're so far [57] apart
[1] You made your world out of [4] vows that are broken
[1] I built a [57] world in my [1] heart
[1] Every one here tried to [4] warn me
[1] You were just playing a [57] game
[1] I told them all we were [4] meant for each other
[1] I thought our [57] worlds were the [1] same
Chorus
[1] If you stay over in [4] your world
[1] Oh, how my poor heart will [57] pine
[1] Darling someday when your [4] memories wander
[1] Won't you come [57] over to [1] mine
Chorus
[1] We live in two different [4] worlds, dear
[1] My world is honest and [57] true
[1] Sweetheart remember when [4] your world gets lonely
[1] I'll still be [57] waiting for [1] you

Why You Been Gone So Long
Mickey Newbury
[1] Every time it rains Lord I [4] run to my [1] window
All I do is just wring my hands and [57] moan
And [1] listen to that thunder, Lord
Can't you [4] hear that lonesome [1] wind moan?
Tell me baby now [57] why you've been gone so [1] long?
Chorus - [1] Tell me baby now why you've been gone so [4] long?
You've been gone so [1] long now
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so [57] long?
[1] A wolf is scratching at my door, Lord, Lord
And I can [4] hear that lonesome [1] wind moan
Tell me baby now [57] why you've been gone so [1] long?
[1] Somebody said they thought they saw you [4] roaring down in [1] Reno
With a big ol' man from San [57] Anton
They [1] tell me I'm a fool, fine for you but [4] what do they [1] know?
Tell me baby [57] now why you've been gone so [1] long?
Chorus
[1] Ain't nothin' I wanna do Lord, so I [4] guess I could get [1] stoned
And let the past paint pictures in my [57] head
And [1] kill a fifth of a thunderbird Lord and [4] try to write a sad, sad [1] song
Tell me baby now [57] why you've been gone so [1] long?
Chorus
