I Only Exist

Jim,

—Ralph Stanley

Chorus:
No I'm not living I only exist
How much longer can I go on like this
You broke my heart and you tortured my mind
I've lost you darling you're long gone this time

My home's half broken you wrecked my young life
You left me here alone to cry
These tears that are flowing will soon dry away
And some day darling I know you will pay

Honey, you were no good right from the start
My friends all told me you'd break my heart
When your roamin' and ramblin' days are through
You'll pray for a love like I had for you

Nobody Knows You When You're…

Jim,

—Jimmy Cox, 1923

Once I lived the life of a millionaire.
Spending my money; I didn't care.
I took all my friends out for a good time,
Buyin' high price liquor, champagne and wine.

When I began to fall so low,
I didn't have a friend, and no place to go.
If I ever get hold of a dollar again,
Gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins.

Chorus:
Nobody knows you,
When you're down and out.
In you pocket, not one penny.
And your friends, you don't have any.

But if you ever get on your feet again,
Then you'll find your long lost friends.
It's mighty strange, without a doubt.
Nobody knows you when your down and out,
I mean when you're down and out.

Eric Clapton's version:

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spent all my money, didn't have any care
Took all my friends out for mighty good time
We bought bootleg liquor, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, had nowhere to go
I get my hands on a dollar again
I'll hang on to it 'til that eagle grins

Because nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any

When you get back on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend
I said it's mighty strange, without any doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out

Oh, nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any

When you get back on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend
I said it's strange, without any doubt
Nobody knows you (nobody knows you)

Nobody knows you (nobody knows you)
Nobody knows you when you're down and out



You Don't Miss Your Water

Jim,

—William Bell

In the beginning you really loved me
But I was blind and I could not see
But when you left me oh how I cried
You don't miss your water 'til your well runs dry.

I was a playboy I could not be true
I couldn't believe I really loved you
But when you left me oh how I cried
You don't miss your water 'til your well runs dry.

I sit and wonder, how can this be?
I never thought you'd ever leave me
But now you've left me, oh how I cry
You don't miss your water 'til your well runs dry

Tag: You don't miss your water 'til your well runs dry.

Original William Bell lyrics:

In the beginning, you really loved me
But I was too blind and I couldn't see
But now you've left me, oh how I cry
You don't miss your water til your well runs dry

I kept you crying, sad and blue
I was a playboy I wouldn't be true
But when you left me and said bye-bye
I missed my water, my well ran dry

I sit and wonder how can this be?
I never thought, you'd ever leave me
But now you've left me, oh how I cry
You don't miss your water till your well runs dry

You don't miss your water till your well runs dry

Ode to Joy

Will There Be Any Stars in My Crown

Jim,

—Eliza E. Hewitt, 1897

I am thinking today of that beautiful land
I shall reach when the sun goeth down;
When through wonderful grace by my Savior I stand,
Will there be any stars in my crown?

Chorus:
Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown,
When at evening the sun goeth down?
When I wake with the blest in the mansions of rest,
Will there be any stars in my crown?

In the strength of the Lord let me labor and pray,
Let me watch as a winner of souls;
That bright stars may be mine in the glorious day,
When His praise like the sea-billow rolls.

Oh, what joy it will be when His face I behold,
Living gems at His feet to lay down;
It would sweeten my bliss in the city of gold,
Should there be any stars in my crown.
