Without a song, the day would never end
Without a song, oh, the road would never been
When things go wrong, a man ain't got no friend
Without a song, mmm, 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 ain't no good no how
Without a song, yeah yeah, without a song

I've got my trouble and woe, but sure as I know
The Jordan will roll
I'll get along, as long as a song
Is strong in my soul

I'll never know, what makes the rain to fall
I'll never know, what makes the grass grow tall
I only know, that there ain't no love at all
Without a song, mmm yeah, without a song, yeah

[Instrumental break]

I've got my trouble and woe, but sure as I know
The Jordan will roll
I'll get along, as long as a song
Is strong in my soul, in my soul
I'll never know, what makes the rain to fall
I'll never know, what makes the grass grow tall
I only know, there ain't no love at all
Without a song, yeah yeah, without a song
Mmm-hmm, without a song, yeah, without a song
