HE CAN BE FOUND
By Ella Barrett and Faye Cunningham. Learned from the singing of The Louvin Brothers on "Satan Is Real." Adapted, edited, arranged, verses 3, 4, 5 © 5/10/14 2014 Susan O. Hinton for The Good News-Goodtime Band. Dedicated to Barb Perkins.

1. He can be found in a mother's smile;
He can be found in the eyes of a child.
He can be found, He is everywhere;
When we kneel in prayer each plea He hears.

REFRAIN:
He can be found in the air that we breathe
He always hears a heart that grieves.
He can be found on life's stormy sea--
He can be found in you and me.

2. He can be found in the hearts of great men;
He will reach down for one who has sinned.
The poorest child, and the rich man's son--
All who believe, and who will let Him come.

3. He can be found in Black and White;
He can be found in colors, all bright.
He's not hiding-- for He made us all;
He can be found when we hear His call.


4. He can be found in young and old;
He can be found in warm and in cold.
In that moment when any life starts,
He can be found in each beating heart.        

5. He can be found at our last breath--
If we accept Him before earthly death.
He can be found in the family's farewell,
With trusting love, His story they tell.

Subject: Lyr Add: SATAN AND THE SAINT (Louvin Brothers)
From: Jim Dixon
Date: 21 Aug 11 - 02:08 PM

I got most of the words, anyway, by listening to YouTube:


SATAN AND THE SAINT
As sung by the Louvin Brothers

"I have the world to offer you."
Yes, you have the world to hold
Till the day when God declares
Time on earth shall be no more.
Fire and brimstone shall rain down enveloped(?) like the snow.
What will you have to offer then to a dying soul?

"But think of all you're giving up."
I'm giving up the chance to die
And spend eternity in Hell
Burning in a lake of fire,
I thank God who's made a way that I might escape.
By the living grace of God, I shall see his face,

"You don't sin; you're good enough."
There's not a just man upon earth
That doeth good and sinneth not.
All we like sheep have gone astray.
We have turned ev'ry one to his own way,
And the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

"But ...(?) will be too dull for you."
Ev'rything you offered me
Don't mean nothin' to my heart.
Far from sin, I've been set free.
Praise the lord; I'm going home, ever to rejoice.
Take the world and get behind.
I have found a peace of mind.
Everlasting joy is mine.
Jesus is my joy.

Subject: Lyr Add: PREACH THE GOSPEL (Louvin Brothers)
From: Jim Dixon
Date: 26 Jul 10 - 12:45 AM

You can hear this at YouTube. There is still a gap in verse 2 where I couldn't decipher the lyrics:

PREACH THE GOSPEL
Louvin Brothers

CHORUS: Preach (preach), preach (preach), preach the gospel.
Trust God. He'll give you words to say.
Preach (preach), preach (preach), preach the gospel.
Regardless who it hurts, pray that God will have His way.

1. I can't enjoy my Bible just readin' here and there.
I like to take it as it comes and never skip a line.
No need to read the verses that say you'll enter in.
If you don't like the one that reads, you must be born again.

2. I fear we have some preachers, well thought of in their church,
Who change the text God chose for them, afraid of who they'll hurt.
They'd like to pick the scripture that ... soul,
Afraid they'll lose their job if they get on the members' toes.

3. Back yonder sets a member, the preacher tells himself,
He's never missed a service since I've been the pastor here.
I'm led to mention whiskey, of how it dims your soul,
But since he drinks a little, I'd be gettin' on his toes.

Holy propaganda, Batman! The Louvin Brothers really did record a song called DON'T LET THEM TAKE THE BIBLE OUT OF OUR SCHOOLROOMS, in 1962. It was written by George David McGraw, and it is in the Bear Family 8-CD set "Close Harmony" (1992). It was also recorded by David Mansfield on "Ever Call Ready" (1978, reissued 1985).

It is in the DT under the slightly different title DON'T LET THEM TAKE THE BIBLE FROM OUR SCHOOLROOMS.

Guest, why don't you join us, here are the lyrics you requested.

LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF
Ira & Charlie Louvin, (Loudermilk) 1955

CHORUS: Love thy neighbor as thyself.
Do unto him as you'd have him do to you.
Give him things that you can do without to help him live.
Love thy neighbor as thyself and he will love you too.

Now, this old world could be a lonesome place without a friend.
We need each other every day. Together we can win.
There's a little good in every man. Don't count and see his faults.
And a precious deed that you might do may change his inward thoughts. CHORUS

Well, I once knew a couple of fellers near my old homestead.
And I just wish that all the world could live the way they did.
They'd swap off work and lend each other money, mules, and plows.
And I've seen 'em many a time dividing milk from one old cow. CHORUS

We need old timey neighborhoods, with hearts that's free of greed.
God make us good old fashioned folks who'll be a friend indeed.
If you want a friend, then be a friend. Do not let charity slack.
Do your deeds without a price, someone will pay you back. CHORUS

Subject: Lyr Add: I CAN'T KEEP YOU IN LOVE WITH ME (Louvin)
From: TonyA
Date: 26 May 09 - 09:55 PM

It must have been an awful hurt that someone did to you
That built a wall around your heart that I can't break through.
I can't erase, I can't replace the bitter with the sweet,
For I can't find my way behind your wall of memories.

    refrain:
    If you want me, why can't I keep you in love with me?
    You say you're mine; and I'm not blind, I know you want to be.
    And when you're holding me, no sweeter love could ever be.
    But when I'm gone, somehow I can't keep you in love with me.

The worst mistake that you could make, the surest way to lose,
Would be to listen and believe the lies they tell to you.
There is a way you can repay the one who let you down:
Let me repair your broken heart, don't leave it on the ground.
    (refrain)

Subject: Lyr Add: MUST YOU THROW DIRT IN MY FACE (Louvin)
From: TonyA
Date: 26 May 09 - 09:52 PM

What is it that brings you to this part of town,
Curiosity, conscience, or fate?
I know it's not love, for I once gave you love,
And all you gave me was the gate.
I've a feeling you've come back to just rub it in,
And really put me in my place.

    refrain:
    You've already put big old tears in my eyes.
    Must you throw dirt in my face?

Must you keep telling me you've got a new love?
I don't need you to remind me.
Must you keep telling me I look so lonesome,
And my better days are behind me?
Must you keep showing me pictures of him,
And boasting of his warm embrace?
    (refrain)

You've already left me and broken my heart,
And told me how much you don't want me.
Believe me I'm happier when we're apart.
Why must you come back now and haunt me?
Must you keep showing me pictures of him,
And boasting of his warm embrace?
    (refrain)

Subject: Lyr Add: GIVE THIS MESSAGE TO YOUR HEART (Louvin)
From: TonyA
Date: 26 May 09 - 09:48 PM

Read my letter one more time
Don't let me tear our world apart
Please don't read between the lines
Give this message to your heart.

I don't know what made me lie to you
Most of all I just don't know why I cheated on you
Give me the chance that I'd give you
Give this message to your heart.

It's hard to ask you to forgive
For you have more than done your part
But if you don't then I can't live
Give this message to your heart.

I don't know what made me lie to you
Most of all I just don't know why I cheated on you
Give me the chance that I'd give you
Give this message to your heart.

YOU'LL MEET HIM IN THE CLOUDS
The Louvin Brothers - Keep Your Eyes On Jesus

1 VERSE
How many different ways can you reach that city
Where angles sing Gods praise for soul redeeming love
Theirs only one way in which you can enter
And your key is your record above

CHORUS
Now you can go by plane cause He ain't got no landing field
And you can't go by train like some folks sing about
And you can't go by ship cause He ain't got no harbor
Through grace by faith if your made whole
You'll meet Him in the clouds

2 VERSE
Now some folk thank the way is carefree and easy
And they should reach that home on flowery beds of ease
For when temptations come or great tribulation
They care not to fall on their knees

CHORUS
You can go by plane cause He ain't got no landing field
And you can't go by train like some folks sing about
And you can't go by ship cause He ain't got no harbor
Through grace by faith if your made whole
You'll meet Him in the clouds

CHORUS
Now you can go by plane cause He ain't got no landing field
And you can't go by train like some folks sing about
And you can't go by ship cause He ain't got no harbor
Through grace by faith if your made whole
You'll meet Him in the clouds

I pieced this together from several sound samples. I don't know whether it's complete.

YOU'LL BE REWARDED OVER THERE
Charlie & Ira Louvin

I am walkin' with my Lord each day,
Warning ev'ryone I see,
If they're headed down the wrong highway,
Askin' them to walk with me.

CHORUS: Join me on my journey. Join me in my prayer.
If you're sad and worried, Jesus surely cares.
If you'll serve him, serve him in this life,
Brother, you'll be rewarded over there.

Those who travel down the road of sin
Wear a lock upon their heart.
Seeking honor in the praise of men,
God to them will say, "Depart."

For I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, the best I can do is a partial transcription based on several sound samples:

...crowd passes by.
Some are talking 'bout their wealth and their riches.
Some are talking 'bout their troubles and strife.
I don't know how to talk like a rich man.
When compared, I'm a beggar no doubt.
If you're talking about that old-time religion,
Then I know what you're talking about.

If you're talking about that old-time religion,
Then I know what you're talking about:
'Bout the kind that will make you love your neighbor
When old Satan would say, "Turn him out;"
'Bout the kind that will comfort you in sorrow,
And it never fails to make you shout.
Well, if you're talking about that old-time religion,
Then I know what you're talking about.

This afternoon I finally got around to buying the album mentioned by Jim on 13 Jan 05 - 11:17 PM, "Livin, Lovin, Losin: The Songs of the Louvin Brothers," Universal CD #45802, 2003. Definitely recommended. No clinkers, but it did make me want to go back and hear the originals again. I was listening in the car, so sometimes I could tell and sometimes I couldn't tell who was singing, but the one that pulled me up short and made me look was #9 featuring Kathy Louvin, a much older recording from 1988. Somehow it had a slightly better feel to it. Knowing who it was explained it all for me.

1. Introduction to Ira and Charlie Louvin                  
2. Cash On The Barrelhead - Joe Nichols/Rhonda Vincent                  
3. My Baby's Gone - Emmylou Harris/Rodney Crowell                  
4. How's The World Treating You - James Taylor/Alison Krauss                  
5. I Can't Keep You In Love With Me - Vince Gill/Terri Clark                  
6. Must You Throw Dirt In My Face - Merle Haggard/Carl Jackson                  
7. If I Could Only Win Your Love - Ronnie Dunn/Rebecca Lynn Howard         
8. When I Stop Dreaming - Glen Campbell/Leslie Satcher                  
9. I Wish You Knew - Kathy Louvin/Pamela Brown Hayes                  
10. New Partner's Waltz - Linda Ronstadt/Carl Jackson                  
11. Are You Teasing Me - Patty Loveless/Jon Randall                  
12. I Don't Believe You've Met My Baby - Harley Allan/Dierks Bentley         
13. You're Running Wild - Larry Cordle/Carl Jackson/Jerry Salley         
14. The Angels Rejoiced - Dolly Parton/Sonya Isaacs                  
15. Let Us Travel, Travel On - Marty Stuart/Del McCoury                  
16. Keep Your Eyes On Jesus - Pam Tillis/Johnny Cash with the Jordanaires

FOOLIN' AROUND – the song that Sorcha posted above – was written by Harlan Howard and Buck Owens. It has been recorded by Patsy Cline, George Hamilton IV, Waylon Jennings, Buck Owens, Connie Smith, Kay Starr, and several others. There are also several other songs called FOOLIN' AROUND, but I can't find any evidence that the Louvins wrote or recorded any of them.

HOW'S THE WORLD TREATING YOU
(Chet Atkins, Boudleaux Bryant)

I've had nothing but sorrow
Since you said we were through.
There's no hope for tomorrow.
How's the world treating you?
Ev'ry sweet thing that mattered
Has been broken in two.
All my dreams have been shattered.
How's the world treating you?

Got no plans for next Sunday.
Got no plans for today.
Ev'ry day is Blue Monday,
Ev'ry day you're away.
Though our pathways have parted,
To your mem'ry I'm true.
Guess I'll stay broken-hearted.
How's the world treating you?

Do you wonder about me
Like I'm hoping you do?
Are you lonesome without me?
Have you found someone new?
Are you burning and yearning?
Do you ever get blue?
Do you think of returning?
How's the world treating you?

Do you think of returning?
How's the world treating you?

Chorus
  G                        C
  That word broadminded is spelled s-i-n
  G                                        D
  I read in my Bible, they shall not enter in.
  G                      C                    G
  For Jesus will answer, Depart, I never knew you
                           D           G
  That word broadminded is spelled s-i-n

    

G                           C                G
  Some people say they gamble now and then for pleasure
  G                                           D
  And drink a little whiskey just to please a friend
  G                                    C              G
  They say it's really nothing, you've got to be broadminded
                           D            G
  That word in my Bible is spelled "s-i-n".

    

That broadminded mother goes out and joins a party
  There's nothing wrong in drinking and dancing with a friend
  And then on Sunday morning, she'll say she loves her savior
  She should be begging God to forgive her of her sin.

  [spoken, preached]

  For to be carnally minded is death
  But to be spiritually minded is life and peace
  Because the carnal mind is enmity against God 
  For it is not subject to the law of God
  Neither, indeed, can be.
  You'll find your word "broadminded" means sin if you'll read.

Somebody requesting this said it was by the Louvins, so I'll add it. If it's not, someone can correct me.......


FOOLIN' AROUND

I know that you've been foolin' around on me right from the start
So I'll give back your ring and I'll take back my heart
And when you're tire of foolin' around with two or three

Just come on home and fool around with me.
Then come on home and fool around with me.

Well I wasn't foolin' around the day I said I do
But many a night I wished that I had been a-foolin' too
I know it's foolish taking all this misery
But when it's you a fool I'll always be

So honey fool around. You know right where I'm at
And don't worry if I'm lonesome cause I'm used to that
And when you're tire of foolin' around with two or three
Then come on home and fool around with me

I know that you've been foolin' around on me right from the start
So I'll give back your ring and I'll take back my heart
And when you're tire of foolin' round with two or three
Just come on home and fool around with me.

I thought I had posted the link to BOB & KEVIN'S JUKEBOX already, but I see I didn't. You can hear the Louvins and other great stuff there.

Here is a link straight to the LOUVIN page there.

HE WAS WAITING AT THE ALTAR
As Recorded by the Louvin Brothers

He was waiting at the altar
When I knelt there, He lifted me.
When I trusted in Him it was over,
And my sin-sick soul He set free.
I had searched everywhere but could not find Him
Till I said, "Precious Lord, have Thy way!"
When I opened my heart, I felt His blood rushing in!
He was waiting at the altar, for me!

I was wandering aimless, I had searched far and wide
But I failed to find peace for my soul.
Like a lost weary traveler, then, I sat down and cried
For my burdens were too great a load.
Full of pride, and conceited, I was lost and astray
Till I laid down my soul at His feet.
I found Christ was the answer, and He met me halfway—
He was waiting at the altar, for me!
