I Recall a Gypsy Woman Lyrics

Song by Don Williams

Silver coins that jingle jangle
Fancy shoes the dancing time
All the secrets of her dark eyes
They did seem a gypsy rhyme
Yellow clover in tangled blossoms
In a meadow silky green
Where she held me to her bosom
Just a boy of 17

I recall a gypsy woman
Silver spangles in her eyes
Ivory skin against the moonlight
And the taste of life’s sweet wine

Soft breezes blow from fragrant meadows
And stir the darkness in my mind
Oh, gentle woman you sleep beside me
Little know who haunts my mind
Gypsy lady, I hear your laughter
And it dances in my head
While my tender wife and babies
Slumber softly in their beds

I recall a gypsy woman
Silver spangles in her eyes
Ivory skin against the moonlight
And the taste of life’s sweet wine

Alright!

Troubadour Lyrics

Song by George Strait

I still feel 25,
Most of the time.
I still raise a little cain with the boys.
Honky tonk and pretty woman.
Lord I’m still right there with them.
Singing above the crowd and the noise.

Sometimes I feel like Jesse James,
Still trying to make a name.
Knowing nothings gonna change what I am.
I was a young troubadour,
When I rode in on a song.
And I’ll be an old troubadour,
When I’m gone.

Well, The truth about a mirror,
It’s that a damn old mirrow.
Don’t really tell the whole truth,
It don’t show what’s deep inside.
Oh read between the lines,
It’s really no reflection of my youth.

I was a young troubadour,
When I rode in on a song.
And I’ll be an old troubadour,
When I’m gone.
I’ll be an old troubadour,
When I’m gone

Check Yes or No Lyrics

Song by George Strait

It started way back in third grade
I used to sit beside Emmylou Hayes
A pink dress, a matching bow in her ponytail
She kissed me on the school bus but told me not to tell
Next day I chased her ’round the playground
‘Cross the monkey bars to the merry-go-round
And Emmylou got caught passing me a note
Before the teacher took it I read what she wrote

“Do you love me? Do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do
Well then don’t be afraid to take me by the hand
If you want to
I think this is how love goes
Check yes or no”

Now we’re grown up and she’s my wife
Still like two kids with stars in our eyes
Ain’t much changed, I still chase Emmylou
Up and down the hall, around the bed in our room

Last night I took her out in a white limousine
Twenty years together she still gets to me
Can’t believe it’s been that long ago
When we got started with just a little note

“Do you love me? Do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do
Well then don’t be afraid to take me by the hand
If you want to
I think this is how love goes
Check yes or no”

“Do you love me? Do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do
Well then don’t be afraid to take me by the hand
If you want to
I think this is how love goes
Check yes or no”

Check yes or no
Check yes or no
Check yes or no
Check yes or no

The Chair Lyrics

Song by George Strait

Well, excuse me, but I think you’ve got my chair

No, that one’s not taken, I don’t mind if you sit here
I’ll be glad to share
Yeah, it’s usually packed here on Friday nights

Oh, if you don’t mind, could I talk you out of a light?

Well, thank you, could I drink you a buy?
Oh, listen to me, what I mean is, can I buy you a drink?
Anything you please

Oh, you’re welcome, well, I don’t think I caught your name
Are you waiting for someone to meet you here?
Well, that makes two of us, glad you came

No, I don’t know the name of the band
But they’re good, aren’t they?
Would you like to dance?

Yeah, I like this song too, it reminds me of you and me, baby
Do you think there’s a chance that later on I could drive you home?

No, I don’t mind at all
Oh, I like you too, and to tell you the truth
That wasn’t my chair after all

Oh, I like you too, and to tell you the truth

That wasn’t my chair after all

Alan Jackson’s “If Love Was a River” – What A Great Country Music Tune!

By

On August 5, 2024

In Alan Jackson, Country Music

Here’s a beautiful Alan Jackson song from his album “What I Do.” This is his twelfth studio album that was released on September 7, 2004. It produced four singles for Jackson on the Hot Country Songs charts: “Too Much of a Good Thing” and “Monday Morning Church” both reached #5, while “The Talkin’ Song Repair Blues” and “USA Today” both reached #18. The Wrights, a duo composed of Adam and Shannon Wright, are featured as background vocalists of this song “If Love Was a River,” which they also co-wrote. Enjoy!

About Alan Jackson

Alan Jackson was born in the small town of Newnan, Georgia, on October 17, 1958. He grew up singing gospel music, both in church and at home with his family, and as a teenager he performed locally as part of a country duo. He left school to work and married his high-school sweetheart, Denise, who worked as an airline stewardess. In 1989, Jackson became the first artist signed to Arista’s new country division. Jackson’s debut album, Here in the Real World, was issued in 1990 and became a platinum-selling hit on the strength of four Top Five hits: the title cut, “Chasin’ That Neon Rainbow,” “Wanted,” and the first of many chart-toppers, “I’d Love You All Over Again.” He shot to full-fledged superstardom with the follow-up, 1991’s Don’t Rock the Jukebox, whose title track was an inescapable number one smash that year.

If Love Was a River Lyrics

If love was a river
And I was a drowning man
Would you get in the water
Would you lend me a hand
If love was a river
Would you sit on the land

If love was a mountain
High above this town
Would you climb to the top
Would you never look down
If love was a mountain
Would you go around

Love may only knock so many times upon your door
And heaven only knows if it will come back anymore

If love was a firefly
Sitting in your hand
Would you laugh when it twinkled
Let it go again
If love was a firefly
Would you understand

If love was a party
With everyone you know
Would you dance if I asked you
Would you smile and say no
If love was a party
Would you even go

Love may only knock so many times upon your door
And heaven only knows if it will come back anymore

If love was a fast train on a one-way track
Would you turn in your ticket
Would you never look back
If love was a fast train
Would you even pack?

Livin’ on Love Lyrics

Alan Jackson

Two young people, without a thing
Say some vows and spread their wings
And settle with just what they need
Living on love
She don’t care ’bout what’s in style
She just likes the way he smile
It takes more than marvel and time
Living on love

Living on love, buying on time
Without somebody nothing ain’t worth a dime
It’s like that old fashioned storybook rhyme
Living on love
It sounds simple that’s what you’re thinking
Love can walk through fire without blinking
It doesn’t take much, when you get enough
Living on love

Two old people, without a thing
Children gone but still they sing
Side by side on that front porch swing
Living on love

He can’t see anymore
She can barely sweep the floor
Hand in hand they walk through that door
Just living on love

Living on love, buying on time
Without somebody nothing ain’t worth a dime
It’s like that old fashioned storybook rhyme
Living on love
It sounds simple that’s what you’re thinking
Love can walk through fire without blinking
It doesn’t take much, when you get enough
Living on love

Living on love, buying on time
Without somebody nothing ain’t worth a dime
It’s like that old fashioned storybook rhyme
Living on love
It sounds simple that’s what you’re thinking
Love can walk through fire without blinking
It doesn’t take much, when you get enough
Living on love
No, It doesn’t take much, when you get enough
Living on love

Blue Ridge Mountain Song

Alan Jackson

He met her in the fall of ’93 in the hills of Tennessee
She was barely 17, he was tall and strong and lean
They were deep in love by June
Hand in hand beneath that moon

And she’d sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
And he’d just hum along
And they’d dance all night ’til dawn
On a hillside all alone
They were young and they were free
Like a mountain melody
In love as they could be
Singing that Blue Ridge song

She married in her mama’s wedding gown
Bought a house and settled down
He worked driving all around
Hauling logs from town to town
And he’d come home every night
And she’d be waiting in the front porch light

And she’d sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
And he’d just hum along
They’d dance all night till dawn
On the front porch all alone
They were young and they were free
Like a mountain melody
In love as they could be
Singing that Blue Ridge song

They couldn’t tell him what was wrong
But they just didn’t know
It wasn’t very long ’til Jesus called her home
And he got down on his knees
Said, “God, don’t take my love from me”Just let her sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
Like she has all along
And I’ll dance with her ’til dawn
On a hillside all alone
And we’ll spend eternity like a mountain melody
In love as we can be
Singing that Blue Ridge song

Now he lives there all alone
In the house that they called home
In his heart there lies a void
From the absence of her voice
And he lays down every night
Dreams about that front porch light

Where she’d sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
He’d just hum along
They’d dance all night until dawn
On the hillside all alone
They were young and they were free
Like a mountain melody
In love as they could be
Singing that Blue Ridge song

Little Blue Ridge Mountain song (singing that blue ridge song)
Sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
Sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song (singing that Blue Ridge song)
Sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
Sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song (singing that Blue Ridge song)
Sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
Sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
Little Blue Ridge Mountain song

Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning) Lyrics

Where were you when the world stopped turnin’
That September day?
Were you in the yard with your wife and children
Or workin’ on some stage in L.A.?
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke
Risin’ against that blue sky?
Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor
Or did you just sit down and cry?

Did you weep for the children, they lost their dear loved ones
Pray for the ones who don’t know?
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
And sob for the ones left below?
Did you burst out with pride for the red, white, and blue
And the heroes who died just doin’ what they do?
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
And look at yourself and what really matters?

I’m just a singer of simple songs
I’m not a real political man
I watch CNN, but I’m not sure I can tell you
The diff’rence in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, hope, and love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is love

Where were you when the world stopped turnin’
That September day?
Teachin’ a class full of innocent children
Or drivin’ down some cold interstate?
Did you feel guilty ’cause you’re a survivor?
In a crowded room did you feel alone?
Did you call up your mother and tell her you love her?
Did you dust off that Bible at home?

Did you open your eyes and hope it never happened
Close your eyes and not go to sleep?
Did you notice the sunset for the first time in ages
And speak to some stranger on the street?
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
Go out and buy you a gun?
Did you turn off that violent old movie you’re watchin’
And turn on I Love Lucy reruns?
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
Stand in line to give your own blood?
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
Thank God you had somebody to love?

I’m just a singer of simple songs
I’m not a real political man
I watch CNN, but I’m not sure I can tell you
The diff’rence in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, hope, and love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is love
I’m just a singer of simple songs
I’m not a real political man
I watch CNN, but I’m not sure I can tell you
The diff’rence in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, hope, and love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is love

And the greatest is love
And the greatest is love

Where were you when the world stopped turnin’
On that September day?
