Saturday Night/Sunday Morning Tension in Country Music | Lyrics Sheet Keep On the Sunny Side In the Jailhouse Now By the Carter Family By Jimmie Rodgers

Well, there's a dark and a troubled side of life I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob There's a bright and a sunny side too Who used to steal, gamble and rob But if you meet with the darkness and strife He thought he was the smartest guy in town The sunny side we also may view But I found out last Monday That Bob got locked up Sunday Chorus They've got him in the jailhouse way downtown Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side Keep on the sunny side of life Chorus It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way He's in the jailhouse now If we keep on the sunny side of life He's in the jailhouse now I told him once or twice Oh, the storm and its fury broke today To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear He's in the jailhouse now Clouds and storms will in time pass away The sun again will shine bright and clear He played a game called poker Pinochle, whist, and euchre Chorus But shootin' dice was his greatest game Now he's downtown in jail Let us greet with a song of hope each day Nobody to go his bail Though the moments be cloudy or fair The judge done said that he will pay the fine Let us trust in our Savior always To keep us, every one, in His care Chorus

Chorus I went out last Tuesday Met a girl named Susie I told her I was the swellest man around We started to spend my money Then she started to call me honey We took in every cabaret in town.

We're in the jailhouse now We're in the jailhouse now I told the judge right to his face We didn't like to see this place We're in the jailhouse now.

I Saw the Light Settin’ the Woods On Fire By Hank Williams By Hank Williams

Comb your hair and paint and powder I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin You act proud and I'll act prouder I wouldn't let my Dear Savior in You sing loud and I'll sing louder Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire Praise the Lord, I saw the light You're my gal and I'm your feller Chorus Dress up in my frock and yeller I saw the light, I saw the light I'll look swell but you'll look sweller No more darkness, no more night Settin' the woods on fire Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight Praise the Lord, I saw the light We'll take in all the honky tonks tonight we're having fun We'll show the folks a brand new dance that never has Just like a blind man I wandered along been done Worries and fears I claimed for my own I don't care who thinks we're silly Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight You'll be daffy I'll be dilly Praise the Lord, I saw the light We'll order up two bowls of chili Settin' the woods on fire Chorus I'll gas up my hot rod stoker I was a fool to wander and stray We'll get hotter than a poker Straight is the gate and narrow the way You'll be broke but I'll be broker Now I have traded the wrong for the right Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire Praise the Lord, I saw the light We'll sit close to one another Chorus Up our street and down the other Tonight we'll have ball oh brother Settin' the woods on fire

We'll put aside a little time to fix a flat or two My trey and tubes are doin' fine but the air is showin' through You clap hands and I'll start howlin' We'll do all the law's allowin' Tomorrow I'll be right back plowin' Settin' the woods on fire
