Johnny Cash
Lorena (Bear’s Sonic Journals: Live At The Carousel Ballroom, April 24 1968)
[Intro]
Alright, we'll do that one for you, out of all the wars that have been I think that this is about the only thing that ever gave me any of them, it's any good, and it's a song, that was handed down to me
[Verse]
The years creep slowly by, Lorena
Snow is on the grass again
The sun is sleek and low down the sky, Lorena
Frost is where the flowers have been
The music sad and lone, Lorena
Happy sounds have left the day
The banjo's softly played, Lorena
Where once they rang so loud and gay
I hardly feel the cold, Lorena
I pray the darkness soon will fade
We'll sing those songs again, Lorena
You'll be in my arms at last
[Outro]
