(Emmylouy Harris Paul Kennerley)

Oh my darlin'

I have searched the desert and the sky

Just to find you

And take the mourning from my eyes

When I lost you

I suffered and you were sanctified

We are all born to live we are all bound to die



Swing down sweet chariot

The flesh will afll and the bones will rot

But from my sorrow you'll carry me not

My heart is bound my soul is chained

To the rock

Rock of ages cleft for me

I swung down my hammer out in Joshua Tree

It rang on the mountain and rolled to the sea

And it will ring from the rock



Oh my children

Sorrow shall come to each of us

All our trials

Will soon lay buried in the dust

Long forgotten

But quick as silver turns to rust

Love is found when the heart is lost
