ONE BY ONE
(Woody Guthrie)

One by one the words come slowly as I write to you,
One by one my teardrops fall upon the page.
One by one my hopes are dark'ning in the twilight,
One by one, one by one they die away.

CHO: One by one my hairs are turning gray,
One by one my dreams are fading fast away.
One by one I read your letters o'er,
One by one I lay them all away.

One by one the flow'rs are fading in my garden,
One by one the leaves are falling from the trees.
One by one the days and nights are growing colder,
One by one the snowflakes tumble in the breeze.
