| Lyrics: | (Vincent Youmans, Billy Rose, Eduard Elisa)
[Recorded May 2, 1961, Los Angeles]
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
And I'll get along as long as a song, 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
[instrumental]
I've-a got my trouble and woe and,
sure as I know, the Jordan will roll
And I'll get along as long as a song, strong in my
soul
I'll-a never know what makes that rain to fall
I'll never know what makes the
grass so tall
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song |
