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 plough
   That field of corn, would be deserted now
   A young one's born, but he's no good no how
   Without a song!
  
   I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as I know
   The Jordan will roll Roll you river Jordan!
   I'll get along as long as a song is strung
   In my soul!
  
   I'll never know what makes the 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!
  
   I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as I know the Jordan will roll,
   I'll get along as long as a song is strung in my soul!
   In my soul!
  
   I'll never know what makes the 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!
