There's a dark and a troubled side of life There's a bright and a sunny side too Though we meet with the darkness and strife The sunny side we also may view Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side Keep on the sunny side of life It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way If we'll keep on the sunny side of life The storm and it's fury broke today Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear The clouds and storms will, in time, pass away The sun again will shine bright and clear. Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side Keep on the sunny side of life It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way If we'll keep on the sunny side of life Let us greet with the song of hope each day Though the moment be cloudy or fair And let us trust in the sunshine always Who keeps us all warm with his care Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side Keep on the sunny side of life It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way If we'll keep on the sunny side of life Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side Keep on the sunny side of life It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way If we'll keep on the sunny side of life If we'll keep on the sunny side of life If we'll keep on the sunny side of life

Well I'd be more than satisfied If I could catch a train and ride When I reach Atlanta with no place to go Make me a pallet on your floor Make me a pallet on the floor Make me a pallet on the floor Make it soft, make it low so my good gal never know Make me a pallet on your floor Them worried blues a little way around me Them worried blues a little way around me The lues is all around me and everywhere I see Nobody knows these blues like me Make me a pallet on the floor Make me a pallet on the floor Make it soft, make it low so my good gal never know Make me a pallet on the floor Come on all you good time friends of mine Come on all you good time friends of mine Once I had a dollar, you treated just fine Where'd you go when I only had a dime? Make me a pallet on the floor Make me a pallet on the floor Make it soft, make it low so my good gal never know Make me a pallet on the floor Make me a pallet on the floor Make me a pallet on the floor Make it soft, make it low so my good gal never know Make me a pallet on the floor

I was standing by my window On one cold and cloudy day When I saw that hearse come rolling For to carry my mother away Will the circle be unbroken By and by, Lord, by and by There's a better home a-waiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky I went back home, home was lonesome Oh my mother, she was gone All of my family, there was crying For our home felt sad and alone Will the circle be unbroken By and by, Lord, by and by There's a better home a-waiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky Undertaker, Undertaker Won't please, please drive slow For that lady you are holding Lord, I hate to see her go Will the circle be unbroken By and by, Lord, by and by There's a better home a-waiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky Will the circle be unbroken By and by, Lord, by and by There's a better home a-waiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Matterhorn 02:54
We started out from Bern one sunny August morn There was just the four of us against the Matterhorn There was Albert the Australian and John the Irishman Me and Bill from Britain, mad dogs in the sun Matterhorn, Matterhorn Men have tried and men have died to climb the Matterhorn That mighty Matterhorn Two miles up we lost John and our rations fell below Now Al and Bill are lying beneath an avalanche of snow Now here I am alone now and I know I cannot stop Two more yards in front of me until I reach the top Matterhorn, Matterhorn Men have tried and men have died to climb the Matterhorn That mighty Matterhorn Now here I am a dying upon the Matterhorn Not a grave for me to lie in nor grave keep me warm The Queen would surely knight me if I could get back down But it's closer here to heaven than it is back to the ground Matterhorn, Matterhorn Men have tried and men have died to climb the Matterhorn That mighty Matterhorn That mighty Matterhorn

about

12 Golden Bluegrass Greats. Carter Family meets Addams Family in Easy Listening for Jerks, two new covers EPs by gold-certified prairie pickers The Dead South.

Rich with quality finger picking and replete with harmonies, Easy Listening for Jerks offers many new moods of songs we think we know so well. The EPs offer a surprising and compelling mix of gravity and levity. From Earl Scruggs to Serj Tankian, the two parts of Easy Listening for Jerks find surprising common ground between traditional bluegrass and hard rock.
