1. WHEN THE ANGELS SING (ALBUM VERSION)

At last we meet again, dear God
Hear the angels sing
The funerals are nicer when we know you're there
When the angels sing
Sometimes
I try so hard
To understand
The things you do
I like to question you
When it all comes down
Hear the angels sing
Stand up strong
Feel the pain
When the angels sing
Love
And death
Don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing

The prisoners pray when they're on to death row
When the angels sing
The junky
Cries for love but it's all run out
When the angels sing
The sins
Of the world
And it's cold on the streets
And you're all alone
And the tears
They start to fall
When it all comes down
Hear the angels sing

Stand up strong
Feel the pain
When the angels sing
Love
And death
Don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing
Little
By little
Day by day
I watch the children play
Cause life
And death
Don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing

When the angel of death comes to looking for me
Hear the angels sing
I hope I was everything I was supposed to be
When the angels sing
There's gotta be a heaven
Cause I've already done
My time in hell
And a little
Baby's born when it all comes down
Hear the angels sing

Stand up strong
Feel the pain
When the angels sing
Love
And death
Don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing
Little
By little
Day by day
I watch the children play
Cause life
And death
Don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing


2. SHAME ON ME

Had a girl in my home town,
Sorry now that I put her down,
Could of lived so happily,
Well
Shame on me.

Why, oh why, did I go away?
Sorry now that I didn't stay,
I still think how it used to be,
Well
Shame on me.

What a fool I must've been,
Then again I was so young,
How was I supposed to know,
How it feels to get stoned?

Going back to my home town,
Find the girl that I pulled down,
I'm gonna ask her to marry me,
But if I'm late,
Oh!
Shame on me.

What a fool I must've been,
Then again I was so young,
How was I supposed to know,
How it feels to get stoned?

Going back to my home town,
Find the girl that I pulled down,
I'm gonna ask her to marry me,
But if I'm late,
Oh!
Shame on me,
Shame on me,
Shame on me,
Wow!
Shame on me,
Yeah!
Shame on
Me.


3. LONESOME TRAIN

Well I hear that choo choo coming
Coming down those railroad tracks
It’s firebox is smoking, it’s engine is big and black
It’s a heading for the station, when it stops at the station door
I’m gonna board that old black choo choo
And I won’t be back no more

Well, it pulls a lot of coaches
That train is mighty long
Some up here with gayety of laughter and song
But know which choo choo that you’re riding
Because it’s mighty dark and cold
And you’ll be happy when I’m crying as the winds begin to blow

Outside the rain is falling
Like great big lonely tears
And the lightning that is flashing
And it stills all of my fears
I heard a porter holler, “Check your baggage please!”
But all that I’ve got with me are my memories


4. RING OF FIRE

Love is a burning flame
And it makes the firery rain
Bound by one desire
I fell into a ring of fire

[Chorus]
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I fell down down down
And the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns
That ring of fire
That ring of fire

The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I before ya like a child
Oh, let the fire burn wild

[Chorus]


5. ALONE AND FORSAKEN

We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold
The pastures were green and the meadows were gold
Our love was in flower as summer grew on
Our love like the leaves now have withered and gone

The roses have faded, there's frost at my door
The birds in the morning don't sing anymore
The grass in the valley is starting to die
And out in the darkness the whippoorwills cry

[Chorus]
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh Lord, if you hear me, please hold to my hand
Oh, please understand

Oh, where has she gone to? Oh, where can she be?
She may have forsaken some other like me
She promised to honor to love and obey
Each vow was a plaything that she threw away

[Chorus]

The darkness has fallen, the sky has turned gray
The hound in the distance is starting to bay
I wonder, I wonder what she's thinking of
Forsaken, forgotten, without any love

[Chorus](x2)

Oh, please understand (x2)
