LYRICS

Who Should Follow Who?

You see the signs 
Read between the blurry lines 
You thought you had the choice 
But you didn't read it right 

You did your time 
You loved him well you loved him right 
He's a wind that's always blowing 
And you're caught up in the eye of the storm 

We go around and around and around 
I take my shot 
you put your guard up 
and then silence 

We done our time 
Curbed our sandess kept it quiet 
You're wind that's always blowing 
And i'm afraid of being alone 

'Cuz you say in the beginning 
"I'll go anywhere for you" 
But when you find that you want different things 
Who should follow who? 

We go around and around and around 
And I don't know why we started 
And I don't know where it's going 
I done me time 
Fought my way through the raging skies 
Your a wind that's always blowing 
And I'm longing just to be on solid ground 

'Cuz you say in the beginning 
"I'd go anywhere for you" 
But when you find that you want different things 
Who should follow who? 

You lay it down, lay it down, lay it down 
And you fly away, but I'm afraid 
to follow you this time 

We done our time 
Oh I tried, Lord, knows I tried 
You're a wind that's always blowing 
And i don't think i can chase it anymore 

'Cuz you say in the beginning 
"I'd go anywhere for you" 
But when you find that you want different things 
Who should follow who? 

Oh, you say in the beginning 
"I'd go anywhere for you" 
But when you find that you want different things 
Who should follow who? 

Who should follow who? 
'Round and around and around

Lay These Stones

The fever shadow finally passed us over like a troubled rain 
She still asks for you everyday 
Don't ask me questions 
Take your silent glances with you when you go 

Weren't you just sleeping 'neath the oak tree? 
Weren't you just bathing 'neath the moon? 
I swear this day feel just like night with you gone 
Now I lay these stones for you 
One by one, just for you 

Darlin' I'm still true 
Darlin' I'm still true 

I see your face in every dancing shadow on my windowsill 
She still asks for you everyday 
Grey veil blowing outside the window of my misty mind 

Weren't we just kissing in the stable? 
Peeling yellow from your cheek 
I swear this day feels just like night with you gone 
Now I lay these stones for you 
One by one, just for you 

Darlin' I'm still true 
Darlin' I'm still true 

Do you just watch me here 
in my grey haven of memory? 
Time is a mocking me 
Am I standing or am I falling? 
Time is a mocking me 
Am I standing or am I falling? 

Weren't you just crying when I told you 
I'd always be right by your side? 
White lace was streaming down your back 
Down your back 

Now I lay these stones for you, one by one 
Now I lay these stones for you, one by one 
Now I lay these stones for you, one by one 

Darlin' I'm still true

I Would Fly

 A storm rained down on a Friday morning 
It was a day like no other 
Come and gone by Friday evening 
Well, it didn't leave me with much to believe in 

Mama slipped out on a Saturday morning 
It was a day I hold on to 
The smell of rain on a dried up meadow 
A crack in the door and a moving shadow 

But by Tuesday morning, 
Well, I was light 
And by Tuesday evening, 
Well, I would fly 

Papa got married on a Sunday morning 
It was a day I remember 
The soles of my shoes stopped me short of 
dancing my into forever 

But by Tuesday morning, 
Well, I was light 
And by Tuesday evening, 
Well, I would fly 

And I left home in the early morning 
It was a day I'll never forget 
A dusty road and I didn't look back for a second 
It was a day I'll never forget 

But by Tuesday morning, 
Well, I was light 
And by Tuesday evening, 
Well, I would fly 

And by Tuesday morning, 
Well, I was light, 
(Didn't look back, no I didn't look back) 
And by Tuesday evening, 
(Didn't look back, no I didn't look back) 
Well, I would fly

Hello Stranger

Hello, stranger, put your loving hand in mine 
Hello, stranger, put your loving hand in mine 
You are a stranger and you're a friend of mine 

Get up, rounder, let a working girl lay down 
Get up, rounder, let a working girl lay down 
You are a rounder, but you're all out and down 

Every time I ride the 6th and 4th streetcar 
Every time I ride the 6th and 4th streetcar 
I can see my baby peeping through the bars 

He bowed his head, he waved both hands at me 
He bowed his head, he waved both hands at me 
He’s prison bound and longing to be free 

Oh, I'll see you when your troubles are like mine 
Oh, I'll see you when your troubles are like mine 
Yes, I'll see you when you haven't got a dime 

Weeping like a willow, moaning like a dove 
Weeping like a willow, moaning like a dove 
There's a man up country that I really love 

Hello, stranger, put your loving hand in mine 
Hello, stranger, put your loving hand in mine 
You are a stranger and you're a friend of mine

Words and music by A.P. Carter.
