Without a song
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
You know, would be deserted now
A man is born
But he's no good no how
Without a song

I got my troubles and woes
But long as I know
The Jordan rolls
For I'll get along
Just as long as a song
Is strong in my soul

I'll never know
What makes the rain to fall
And I'll never know
What makes the grass grow tall
I only know
There ain't no love at all
Without a song
