Lyrics
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 plow
That field of corn would be deserted now
A man is born, but he’s no good no how
Without a song
I got my trouble and woe
But, sure as I know the Jordan will roll
I’ll get along as long as a song
Is strong in my soul
I’ll never know what makes the rain to fall
I’ll never know what makes that grass so tall
I only know there ain’t no love at all
Without a song
