Hi, Linda -
I've updated the links above as well as I can. Does that help? The best recording I found was by Alice Gerrard.

For the record, here are the lyrics from the Gerrard recording:

THERE AIN'T NO ASH WILL BURN
(Walt Aldridge)



CHORUS:
       Love is a precious thing, I'm told
       Burns just like West Virginia coal
       But when the fire burns down, it's cold
       There ain't no ash will burn.

I have seen rain on cloudless days
I have seen snow that fell in May
Some things are always bound to change
There ain't no ash will burn

       Love is a precious thing, I'm told
       Burns just like West Virginia coal
       But when the fire burns down, it's cold
       There ain't no ash will burn.

In every life there comes a time
When there are no more tears to cry
We must leave something here behind
There ain't no ash will burn

       Love is a precious thing, I'm told
       Burns just like West Virginia coal
       But when the fire burns down, it's cold
       There ain't no ash will burn.

You say this life is not your lot
Well, I can't be something that I'm not
Can't stoke a fire that we ain't got
There ain't no ash will burn

       Love is a precious thing, I'm told
       Burns just like West Virginia coal
       But when the fire burns down, it's cold
       There ain't no ash will burn.

This is one lesson I have learned,
There ain't no ash will burn.

(as recorded by Alice Gerrard)
There's also a very nice recording by Lydia, Emily, and Claude Martin
Lots of recordings at YouTube. I think you'll do a good job with it, Linda. I'm looking forward to hearing it.
