11 Apr 04 - 04:01 PM (#1159377) Subject: Lyr Add: I'D RATHER LIVE BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD From: wysiwyg Brumley (or his people) arranged and published a lot of stuff they didn't write and then got songwriting credits (and royalties). I don't know if this is one of them. I'm emailing the MIDI to MMario to add to Mudcat MIDIs. ~S~ ========================================================== I'D RATHER LIVE BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD Melody credited to Abert E. Brumley There are people who would rather live in splendor And brag about their silver and their gold, And people who would trade God's promise For its glory to hold; There are people who would rather live in mansions, There are people who would rather live abroad, But I'd rather have a little log cabin By the side of the road. Refrain: I'd rather live by the side of the road And try to point souls to the blest abode Than to be a king or a millionaire And live in mansions in bright array. I'd rather do a neighborly deed For a traveler here or a friend in need, I'd rather live by the side of the road And help some pilgrim along life's way. Ev'ry day I want to be a friendly neighbor And try to help somebody on the way; I want my life to tell for Jesus Ev'ry hour of the day; Take away my ev'ry thought of fame and fortune, Take away my ev'ry thought of rich abode And leave me just a little log cabin By the side of the road. Refrain: I would rather have a cabin by the roadside Where the pilgrimage of man is passing by Help to point some soul to Jesus And that city on high; Ev'ry day I want to help to scatter roses, Ev'ry night I want my lamp to shine abroad With a welcome from my little bay window By the side of the road.
