CWherever you may Gbe, CThank GGod
In this Gworld of grief and sorrow
Filled Cwith selfishness and Ggreed
There Gremains the Glory Fountain
To Asupply our every D7need
You Gcan find it in the temple
With a Cwelcome on the Gdoor
But Gbe sure to count your blessin's
Before D7you ask for Gmore
Thank GGod for every Cflower and each tree

AThere's a Dmighty battle coming and it's well now on its way.
It'll be fought at Armageddon, it shall Ebe a sad, sad Aday.
DIn the Book of Revelation, words in chapter sixteen say
«There'll be gathered there great armies for thatE battle on thatD day.»
DAll the way from the gates of Eden Gto the Battle of Armageddon
There's been Dtroubles and tribulation, there'll be Esorrow and Adespair.
DHe has said «Ye not be troubled for these things shall come to pass.»
Then your life will be eternal when you Adwell with Him at Dlast.
DTurn the pages of your Bible, in St. Matthew you will see,
Start with chapter twenty-four and read from Eone to thirty-Athree.
DIn our Savior's blessed words He said on earth, He prophesised,
For He spoke of this great battle that is Acoming by and Dby.
DAll the way from the gates of Eden Gto the Battle of Armageddon
There's been Dtroubles and tribulation, there'll be Esorrow and Adespair.
DHe has said «Ye not be troubled for these things shall come to pass.»
Then your life will be eternal when you Adwell with Him at Dlast.
DThere'll be nation against nation, there'll be wars and rumors of war.
There'll be great signs in Heaven, in the Gmoon, the Asun, the Dstars.
DOh, the hearts of men shall fail them, there'll be gnashing of the teeth.
Those who seek it will recieve it, mercy Aat the Savior's Dfeet.
DAll the way from the gates of Eden Gto the Battle of Armageddon
There's been Dtroubles and tribulation, there'll be Esorrow and Adespair.
DHe has said «Ye not be troubled for these things shall come to pass.»
Then your life will be eternal when you Adwell with Him at Dlast.

On The Banks Of The Old Pontchartrain

I travelCed from Texas tC7o low LoFuisian',C
Through valleys, o'er mountains and pG7lain.
Both Cfootsore and C7weary, I rFested a Cwhile
On the G7banks of the Old Pontchar-Ctrain.
The fairest young mC7aiden that FI ever sCaw
Passed by as it started to G7rain.
We Cboth found a sC7helter benFeath the same Ctree
On the G7banks of the Old Pontchar-Ctrain.
I ventured a C7smile, but she tFhought I was Cbold.
I hastened to try and expG7lain,
But Csomehow I C7knew I would Flinger a wChile
On the G7banks of the Old Pontchar-Ctrain.
We hid from the sC7hower an Fhour or Cso.
She asked me how long I'd rG7emain.
I tCold her IC7'd spend the Frest of my lCife
On the G7banks of the Old Pontchar-Ctrain.
As time drifted C7by, we fell dFeeper in Clove,
A love that could just bring her G7pain.
I Cknew that one dC7ay I would Fleave her alCone
On the bG7anks of the Old Pontchar-Ctrain.
I just couldn't C7tell her that FI ran aCway
From jail on an old Texas pG7lain.
I Cprayed in my hC7eart I would nFever be fCound
On the bG7anks of the Old Pontchar-Ctrain.
Then one day a man put his hand on my arm
And said I must go west again.
I left her alone without saying goodbye,
On the banks of the Old Pontchartrain.
Tonight as I sit here alone in my cell,
I know that she's waiting in vain.
I'm hoping and praying someday to return
To the banks of the Old Pontchartrain.

I Dreamed About Mama Last Night
Tom: GFácilG
C
D
I've jGust been to Heaven with someonCe so true, G
I Ddreamed about Mama last Gnight.
She read me the Bible like Cshe used to Gdo
I Ddreamed about Mama last Gnight.
Spoken: (You can continue to strum the same chords throughout)
She never closed her eyes and sleeped 'til we were all in bed.
And on party nights until we came home, she often sat and read.
We little thought about it then, for we were young and gay,
Just how much Mama worried when we children were away.
We only knew she never slept, and when we were out at night,
That she wait just to know that we'd all come home alright.
Why sometimes when we'd stay away, 'til 1, or 2, or 3,
It seemed to us that Mama heard the turnin' of the key.
For always when we'd step inside, she would call and we'd reply,
But we were all too young back then to understand the reason why.
Until the last one had returned, she'd always keep a light,
For Mama couldn't sleep until she'd kissed us all goodnight.
She had to know that we were safe before she went to rest,
For she seemed to fear the world might harm the ones she loved the best.
And once she said "When you are grown, to women and to men,
Perhaps I'll sleep the whole night through, I may be different then."
And so it seemed that night and day, we knew a mother's care,
That always when we got back home, we'd find her waitin' there.
Then came the night when we were called to gather 'round her bed,
"The children are all with ya now", the kindly doctor said.
And in her eyes there gleamed again, that old time tender light,
That told that she'd been waitin' just to know we were all alright.
She smiled that old familar smile, and prayed to God to keep,
Her children safe from harm throughout the years.
And then she went to sleep.
GMy dream is a treasure, that CI'll always Gkeep
I Ddreamed about Mama last Gnight.

Then the Parson came G7over and Ctook his hand,

When God comes and G7gathers his Cjewels,
All his Dtreasures of diamonds and Ggold.
You'll meet her up G7there up in Cheaven so fair,
When DGod comes and gathers his Gjewels.

A Picture From Life's Other Side
Tom: DFácilD
G
E
A
In theD world's mighty gall'ry of pictures
Hang Gscenes that are painted from Dlife
There's pictures of joy and of sorrow
There's Epictures of peace and of sAtrife
There's pDictures of youth and beauty
GOld age and the blushing young bDride
All hGang on the wall, but the Dsaddest of all
Is a Apicture from life's other Dside.
DJust a picture from life's other side
SomeGone who fell by the wDay
A life has gone out with the tide
That Emay have been happy one Aday
Some pDoor old mother at home
Is wGatching and waiting aDlone
Just lGonging to hear from her lDoved ones so dear
It's a pAicture from life's other sDide.
The first scene is that of a gambler
Who lost all his money at play
Draws his dead mother's ring from his finger
That she wore on her wedding day
His last earthly treasure, he stakes it
Bows his head that his shame he might hide
When they lifted his head, they found he was dead
It's a picture from life's other side..
The next scene is that of two brothers
Whose paths in life different ways led
The one was a-livin' in luxury
While t'other one begged for his bread
One dark night they met on a high3way
"Your money or life" the thief cried
Then he took with his knife his dear brother's life
It's a picture from life's other side.
The next scene is down by the river
A heart-broken mother and child
The old harbor lights stand and shiver
On an outcast that no one will save
Perhaps she was once a good woman
Somebody's darlin' and pride
God help her, she leaps, there is no one to weep
It's a picture from life's other side.
