BORDERTOWN
Ron Martin and John M. Carter (BMI)
I was born in a border town
Just beyond the line
I grew up in a border town
Full of many lies
I was taught in a red brick school
The teacher taught me well
Said if I didn’t bend the rules
I wouldn’t go to hell
All my life I’ve been running away
Up the land and down
Every time I’d go away
I’d return … border town
Now that I am an older man
And I’m looking back
I see that they didn’t mean no harm
Just try to cut some slack
I grew up in a Baptist Church
The Preacher talked to me
Said if I didn’t do unto others
They wouldn’t do that to me
All my life I’ve been running away
Up the land and down
Every time I’d go away
I’d return … border town
Every time you think you’ve found
The answers to the dreams
So the winds of change would blow
Back to what it seems
Instr. break
I was born in a border town
Just beyond the line
I grew up in a border town
Full of many lies
All my life I’ve been running away
Up the land and down
Every time I’d go away
I’d return … border town …
Border town … border town

8 - MY BROTHER
Music: Marco Zanzi
Lyrics: Francesco Frugiuele
I hear my brother singing just beside my voice
He picks his mandolin with some brand new kind of joy
We just know we’re not too old to feel this young
Playing with the sounds
Tapping on the ground
With our souls so deeply bound
Ho un fratello che mi porta un po’ più in là
Dove l’aria sa di erba e libertà
L’altro lato dell’oceano è qui per me
Non ci sono se
So soltanto che
So soltanto che si va
Hear my calling brother join me as I sing
Tu lo sai che sono pronto dammi un mi
Can’t you feel the air that flows beneath your wings
Mentre suono sono li
Hear my calling brother join me as I sing
Tu lo sai che sono pronto dammi un mi
Can’t you feel the air that flows beneath your wings
Mentre suono sono li
I hear my brother singing just beside my voice
He picks his mandolin with some brand new kind of joy
We just know we’re not too old to feel this young
Playing with the sounds
Tapping on the ground
With our souls so deeply bound

ANOTHER LOVE
Ron Martin (BMI)
Another love is mine now dear
Another love now is mine
I’ve waited on you all my life
Another love now is mine
You’ve treated me so heartlessly
You’ve treated me so unkind
You’ve treated me like I was some
Faded rose on the wine
I’ve waited all my life to see
The day that you would come
Another love is mine now dear
Another love now is mine
Instr. break
I’ve waited all my life to see
The day that you would come
Another love is mine now dear
Another love now is mine
Another love is mine now dear
Another love now is mine
I’ve waited on you all my life
Another love now is mine
You’ve treated me so heartlessly
You’ve treated me so unkind
You’ve treated me like I was some
Faded rose on the wine
I’ve waited all my life to see
The day that you would come
Another love is mine now dear
Another love now is mine
Another love now is mine

SPRINGTIME FLOWERS
Ron Martin
Cold steel sky over the mountain
Smoke is rising thru the whispering pines
Firelight glowing thru the window pane and I’m
On my way home to you again
Told you that I’d see you by Christmas
But time and the miles have taken their toll
Your name is the same as the day that I left you
And I’m going to make you mine again
Oh, Darling the time has come
When God has brought me back to you
We’ll be together tonight and always
And watch the Springtime Flowers bloom
Your face is the heart of my daydreams
For three long years that I’ve been away
Fighting for a cause I can’t remember
Virginia seems a million miles away
Oh, Darling the time has come
When God has brought me back to you
We’ll be together tonight and always
And watch the Springtime Flowers bloom

BIG GRAY
Music: Marco Zanzi
Lyrics: Ron Martin
On a hillside by the river
Stands a house that I call my home,
It is there I get my blessings
Get them from my God so high above
Writing songs’ my greatest passion
Hoping that someday they will be heard
Songs that come from deep within me
Songs that flow from my very soul
Big Gray is so full of my day dreams
Big Gray is so full of my heart
Big Gray is the bastion of the dreamer
The dreamer that is kept inside us all
It’s the home I will remember
Thru my days of pain and the fears
It’s my respite from the unknown
And thru the nights when I’m with my tears
In the pond there lives Miss Lucy
Mr. Jinks is there by her side
In the Spring they raise a family
Then fly away to places unknown
Big Gray is so full of my day dreams
Big Gray is so full of my soul
Big Gray is the bastion of the dreamer
The dreamer that is kept inside us all
On a hillside by the river
Stands a house that I call my home
It is there I get my blessings
Get them from my Lord so high above
Big Gray is so full of my day dreams
Big Gray is so full of my soul
Big Gray is the bastion of the dreamer
The dreamer that’s kept inside us all

WORKING ON A BATTEAU
Ron Martin and Bret Hart
Working on a Batteau
From Leaksville by the Dan
I'm working on a Batteau
For ole man Geoffery Gann
For ole man Geoffery Gann
There's cotton and tobacco
To take to Danville town
Bushels of new "taters"
And molasses sweet and brown
Molasses sweet and brown
Miss Lucy's apple cider
And quilts of feather down
To lie on when it's hot
And the current's all calmed down
The current's all calmed down
When I get to Danville
Gonna walk all over that town
Find me something pretty
For that girl in Leaksville town
INSTR. BREAK
When I get to Danville
Gonna walk all over that town
Find me something pretty
For that girl in Leaksville town
Pushing on this pole and watching
It keeps me off the sand
It's hard work getting home on time
To see that girl again
See that girl again
Working on a Batteau
From Leaksville by the Dan
I'm working on a Batteau
For ole man Geoffery Gann
For ole man Geoffery Gann

LIGHTS OF YOUR PARTY
Ron Martin / John Carter
I see the lights of your party
You’re inside havin’ fun
Wish I could be at that party
But our sweet love has come undone
I used to be at all your parties
When our love was brand new
But you’ve found a substitute at your parties
And you’re doin’ the things we used to do
And it seems we got broken dreams
Right from the start we got broken hearts
And you know I can’t let you go
Cause the times we had when you made me feel glad
And it seems we got broken dreams
Right from the start we got broken hearts
And you know I can’t let you go
Cause the times we had when you made me feel glad
I see the lights of your party
You’re inside havin’ fun
Wish I could be at that party
But our sweet love has come undone
Our sweet love has come undone
Our sweet love has come undone

BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAIN BLUES
Traditional
When I was young and in my prime
I left my home in Caroline
Now all I do is sit and pine
For all the folks I left behind
I got those Blue Ridge Mountain blues
And I stand right here to say
My grip is packed to travel and I'm scratching gravel
For that Blue Ridge far away
I'm gonna stay right by my pa
I'm gonna do right by my ma
I lay around the cabin door
No work or worry anymore
I got those Blue Ridge Mountain blues
Goin' to see my old oak tree
Gonna hunt the possum where the corn cob blossom
For that Blue Ridge far away
Instrumental
I got those Blue Ridge Mountain blues
And I stand right here to say
My grip is packed to travel and I'm scratching gravel
For that Blue Ridge far away
I got those Blue Ridge Mountain blues
And I stay right here to say
"Every day I'm countin' 'til I climb that mountain
In my Blue Ridge Far Away"

THE WAMPUS CAT SONG
Ron Martin-J. M. Carter
Down by the riverside
Put the boat in at dawn
You bring the line* honey
I'll bring the wine honey
We'll have a real good time
Doing nobody no harm
We'll sail away baby
Nothing much to say baby
All the fish got away baby
But I brought my ’catch’ home
We'll fish the red-brown Dan
with a fishing pole in our hand
Sail up and down the land and
Sit back and float awhile
Old Wampus Cat can't be caught
So they say so they thought
Theres a lesson to be taught
When I bring that Wampus Cat in
INSTR. BREAK
Take your hook and bait it good
Check the wind speed like you should
Tell ya Baby to cook your food and
Sit back and float a while
Old Wampus Cat can't be caught
So they say so they thought
Theres a lesson to be taught
When I bring that Wampus Cat in
Down by the riverside
Put the boat in at dawn
You bring the line* honey
I'll bring the wine honey
We'll have a real good time
Doing nobody no harm

MASON WINE
Ron Martin
Call me in the morning
Let me know you’re fine
I know you’re not used to drinking
All of that ‘shine
Your face was green and your eyes were bugged
When we started home
And I don’t know when I have ever
Ever felt so all alone, ah but …
Ah, but that Mason Wine
That Mason Wine is good
Ah, but that Mason Wine
That Mason Wine is good
Don’t ya tell your momma
Don’t ya tell your paw
Where we got that ‘spodeode’
You know we could get caught
Tell ‘em you feel quite sickly
Maybe something you ate
Go down and sleep it off
And be ready to play, because
Ah, but that Mason Wine …
Call me in the evening
Let me know the time
I’ll pick you up in my old car
And we can head for the county line
Where we get our tank all filled
We get ourselves all ‘gassed
Mama, we could have a good time
‘cause it could be our last, because …
Ah, but that Mason Wine …
Call me in the morning
Let me know you’re fine …
BREAKDOWN
Ah, but that Mason Wine is good
Ah, but that Mason Wine is good
