Without a song, hey, the day would never end
Without a song, I know, I know the road would never bend
When things go wrong a man ain't got no friend
I want you to know, I want you to know without a song

I say, I say you must have a song

That field of corn, he would never see a plow
That field of corn, oh, would be, would be deserted now
A man is born but he ain't no good, no how
I know, I know unless you have a song

Let me tell you, you must have a song

I've got my troubles and woe
Long as I know, oh, the Jordan will roll
I know the Jordan, Jordan will roll

I'll get along, long as a song still in my soul
I know, oh, I know I'll never know

Hey, what makes the grass so tall?
I'll never know what makes the rain to fall
I only know that there ain't no love at all
I say, I say, unless you have a song
Unless you have a song

If you can do no more then just
Sing it children
Oh, yeah

I know a man is born
But he ain't no good, no how
Hey, hey, hey, hey, unless he has song
When you get up in the morning you must have a song

Without a song
