This song was writen by Don Williams, but Kenny Rogers had a hit record with it in 1976.

Don Willians own recording went to #3 in 1979.

Off the subject, but there is a great video of Don Williams hit "Living on Tulsa Time" done by Cheryl Crowe. Check it out on You Tube.

Both the great Albert Lee and Eric Clapton join in for a fine jam session. Jerry Douglas may be there too. Another example where the line between Country and Rock is real hard to locate.

Use...chillingeffects. dot. com.

You will find twenty possibilities that can be morphed from "lay down beside me" into midis.

These flagrant bypasses of C&D orders must place the "Dick under the Bridge" into approlexic spasm.

Hmmm. We don't have lyrics.

LAY DOWN BESIDE ME

I've spent my life looking for you
Finding my way wasn't easy to do
I knew there was you all the while
And its been worth every mile
So lay down beside me
Love me and hide me
Kiss all the hurtin of this world away
Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat
And don't ever wander away
Mornings and evenings all were the same
And there was no music till I heard your name
But I knew when I saw you smile
Now I can rest for awhile
So lay down beside me
Love me and hide me
Kiss all the hurtin of this world away
Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat
And don't ever wander away
And don't ever wander away.......

Line three needs correction. DW sings "But I knew there was you all the while"

"Lay Down Beside Me" (written by Don Williams)

I've spent my life looking for you
Finding my way wasn't easy to do
But I knew there was you all the while
And it's been worth every mile

[Chorus:]
So lay down beside me
Love me and hide me
Kiss all the hurtin' of this world away
Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat
And don't ever wander away

Mornings and evenings all were the same
And there was no music till I heard your name
But I knew when I saw you smile
Now I can rest for a while

[Chorus:]
So lay down beside me
Love me and hide me
Kiss all the hurtin' of this world away
Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat
And don't ever wander away

And don't ever wander away...
