Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Live On Down the Line (Carter Family) From: GUEST,Guest Date: 10 Apr 12 - 04:12 PM Blue Highway's version has different lyrics and they don't post their lyrics on this song along with their other songs (which is then difficult for listeners to figure them out. Anyone know why? Here's what I could figure, but I trouble at the third and last line of Blue Mountain Band's version. Maybe someone else knows? Live on Down the Line Blue Highway Band (from their Wondrous Love Album) website: bluehighwayband.com vs 1 Come on you good people Gather 'round me here See God's kingdom deep within ?? Praise the Lord He come to set you free. Chorus: I'm a gonna live on down the line Gonna live on down the line I'm a gonna live on down the line Where the Sabbath has no end. Vs 2 Well there was bold Daniel Went down in the lion's den But when he prayed to Jesus Jesus was his friend. Chorus vs 3 Some say give me silver Some say give me gold But I say "Give me the Holy Word It's a blessing to my soul!" Chorus vs 4 Come on, you good people, Tell me what you see? Do ya see our Lord ascending Calvary's on the tree ??? not sure this last line I'm a gonna live on down the line Gonna live on down the line I'm a gonna live on down the line Where the Sabbath has no end! |

Subject: Lyr Add: LIVE ON DOWN THE LINE (Carter Family) From: GUEST,Robin Date: 22 Sep 10 - 06:03 AM Sorry for the double post. Anyway, to anyone looking for them, here are the complete lyrics as I hear them: LIVE ON DOWN THE LINE (Carter Family) I'se gonna live on down the line I'se gonna live on down the line I'se gonna live on down the line Where the Sabbath has no end Some say give me silver And some say give me gold But I say give me Jesus He's precious to my soul And there was poor old Daniel Was cast in the lion den And when he prayed to heaven King Jesus was he's friend And there the Hebrew children Was cast on the fiery plain Because they loved their saviour And confessed his name Now come on you good people And listen to my plea Put your trust in Jesus And he will set you free When Gabriel sounds his trumpet Over land and sea It sounds like many thunders The end of time will be Some say give me silver And some say give me gold But I say give me Jesus He's precious to my soul |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Live On Down the Line (Carter Family) From: GUEST,Robin Date: 22 Sep 10 - 05:51 AM Oh, thanks a lot for that. I was really stuck with this line. This song really seems isolated (by which I mean, I never heard it anywhere else). |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Live on down the line (Carter Family) From: GUEST,Robin Date: 15 Sep 10 - 07:02 AM Hi all Mudcaters (first post here for me), I came across this song, sung by A.P and Sara Carter (without Maybelle) on their 50's Acme Sessions. The title says "Live on Down the Line", and the lead is sung by A.P. I have been able to figure some lyrics: I'se gonna live on down the line I'se gonna live on down the line I'se gonna live on down the line Where the *** has no [end] (not sure) Some say give me silver And some say give me gold But I say give me Jesus He's precious to my soul And there was poor old Daniel Was cast in the lion den And when he prayed to heaven King Jesus was his friend Now come on you good people And listen to my plea Put your trust in Jesus And he will set you free With one or two more verses. I can't figure out the last line of the chorus, and I'd really appreciate if someone gets it. Also, I haven't been able to find this song or a close one anywhere else (apart from a few floating lyrics, like the "some say give me silver" thing). If any of you has any info on where does it come from, and if there are other recordings of it, it'd be appreciated also. Cheers, Robin |
