Subject: Lyr Add: THERE AIN'T NO ASH WILL BURN (W Aldridge)
I have looked absolutely everywhere on the web for these lyrics and come up empty. Laura Love did this song, and it is by Walt Aldridge. It was also done by the Maudlin Brothers, as well as by Ranch Romance on Western Dream. I have a copy of the LL album, but cannot understand some of the words. I would be extremely grateful to have the rest of them.
What I have is:
I have seen snow that...(?) And I have seen rain on cloudless days Some things are always bound to change There ain't no ash will burn
CHORUS: Love is a precious thing, I'm told Burns just like West Virginia coal But when the fire dies down, it's cold There ain't no ash will burn
You say this life is not your lot And I can't be something that I'm not We can't stoke a fire that...(?) There ain't no ash will burn. CHORUS
In every life there comes a time When there are no more tears to cry We must leave something dear behind There ain't no ash will burn. CHORUS
And there is one lesson I have learned There ain't no ash will burn
